Tom Lanier, Coordinator for the Harnett County Emergency Managemen
Office, presented the following supplemental report concerning the
Averasboro Fire Protection Service District for the Board's
consideration:
SUPPLEMENTAL REPORT
AVERASBORO FIRE PROTECTION SERVICE DISTRICT
The present plan for the Averasboro Fire Protection Service District
calls for the City of Dunn to provide fire protection services to the entire
District. A small area in the northern part of the District is more than
five miles from the Dunn Fire Station and, consequently, that area will not
receive the insurance premium benefits derived by citizens in the remainder
of the District. This area is within five miles of the Town of Benson and
if served by the Fire Department in Benson, this problem would be solved.
Accordingly, the following alternate plan is recommended to the Board
of Commissioners:
1. Zones. Create two zones within the fire district, one to be served
by the Benson Fire Department and one to be served by the Dunn Fire Department.
A map showing the two zones is attached to this report, along with a legal
description of the Benson zone.
2. Contracts. Under contracts with the District, the Benson Fire
RESOLUTION APPROV-
ING ALTERNATE PLAN
FOR AVERASBORO FIRE
DISTRICT
Department and the Dunn Fire Department can receive a prorata portion of
necessary expenses to provide fire protection services to the District. This
amount can be based on a prorata portion of the District tax base, computed as
follows:
$ 3,380,000.00
$ 37,420,000.00
$ 40,800,000.00
Benson Zone Tax Valuation.
Dunn Zone Tax Valuation.
Total
8.28% Percentage of Benson zone
tax valuation to the total.
By amortizing the necessary debt over a longer period of time
(about ten years rather than seven) Dunn can purchase the same equipment
projected in the original report, serve fewer people, and increase the quality
of service in the Dunn zone. Quality in the Benson zone can be improved since
the Benson Fire Department is closer. The people in the Benson zone will get
the benefit of reduced fire insurance premiums. The proposed contract with the
City of Dunn attached as Exhibit J to the orignal report will have to be changed
to reflect this change and a contract in keeping with this plan will be required
between the District and the Town of Benson.
3. Cost. No change in cost is projected under this plan. The
annual cost for the first year will remain at $38,500.00 with the Benson Fire
Department receiving 8.28% of that amount or $3,187.80 (or $3,200 rounded) for
fire protection services.
4. Other Provisions of Alternate Plan. Except as changed herein, the
provisions of the original plan will apply to this alternate plan for delivery
of fire protection service in the Averasboro Fire Protection Service District.
This 17th day of May, 1982.

Commissioner Jesse Alphin made a motion that the Board adopt the
following resolution approving the alternate plan for the Averasbor
Fire Protection Service District. Commissioner Brock seconded the
motion and it carried.
RESOLUTION APPROVING ALTERNATE PLAN
THAT WHEREAS, Tom Lanier, Civil Defense Director for Harnett County, filed
with the Board of Commissioners a Supplemental Report to the Fire Protection
Study for the Averasboro Fire Protection Service District; and
WHEREAS, it appears that the alternate plan is feasible and is being
considered by the City of Dunn and the Town of Benson; and
WHEREAS, the alternate plan calls for two zones within the fire district,
one to be served by Benson Fire Department and the other by the Dunn Fire
Department and will place all inhabitants within a five mile radius of a fire
station, thereby reducing fire insurance rates for all citizens in the
Averasboro Fire Protection Service District.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Board of Commissioners of Harnett County does hereby
resolve:
1. That the alternate plan for the Averasboro Fire Protection Service
District described in the plan filed by Tom Lanier on May 17, 1982, is approved
for implementation, subject, however, to acceptance by the City of Dunn, and the
Town of Benson.
2. That meetings are hereby scheduled to explain the alternate plan at
the following times and places:
A. For the Benson Zone Citizens: Mary Stewart Community Building
at 8:00 P.M., May 20, 1982.
B. For the Dunn Zone Citizens: Longbranch Church at 8:00 P.M.,
May 25, 1982.
3. That 'a copy of the Supplemental Report together with a copy of this
Resolution be filed with the Clerk to the Board of Commissioners, with the
City Clerk of the City of Dunn, and with the Town Clerk of the Town of Benson
for review by citizens in the Averasboro Fire Protection Service District prior
to the referendum to be held on June 1, 1982.
