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. s/ Tom Lanier Tom Lanier Civil Defense Director 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.
