North Bench fire annual meeting coming up |
|
January 18, 2018 |
 |
The Board of the North Bench Volunteer Fire
District cordially invites all residents of the
district to attend its annual business meeting,
scheduled for 10 a.m. Saturday, January 27, at
Station 1, 64464 Highway 2 at Three Mile.
The agenda includes:
• Reports from the chief and treasurer on 2017 activities and expenses.
Recognition of firefighter accomplishments.
Presentation of the 2018 budget, and an
explanation of the new dues schedule.
• Election of board members. Three seats (two two-year positions, and one
one-year position) are up for election this
year. Nominations (or volunteers to stand for
election!) will be taken from the floor. You
must be a member of the association and be
physically present in order to vote.
There is a new subscription fee schedule that is
being instituted this year, after 25 years of no
increases. Rising costs and an increase in
services give no choice but to increase the
dues, but board members hope that the new
schedule will not prove burdensome, while
providing the funds needed to continue the
professional grade services provided to the
community.
The new dues schedule beginning this year will
be:
• Private Residence & Farm up to 125 contiguous acres - $125. Every
additional non-contiguous vacant piece of land
owned - $25
• Home Business/Residence combo under 125 acres - $175
• Private Residence & Farm over 125 - 500 contiguous acres- $225
• Acreage no structures up to 20 acres- $40
• Acreage no structures 21-125 contiguous acres - $75
• Acreage with no structures 126-500 contiguous acres - $100
• Acreage with structures up to 20 acres - $60
• Acreage with structures 21-125 contiguous acres - $100
• Acreage with structures 126-500 contiguous acres- $175
• Any parcels over 500 contiguous acres - $250
• Commercial Businesses- $225
