Mr. Bobby Kennedy, President of the Flat Branch Volunteer Fire Department, appeared before the Board and presented the following letter to the Commissioners and requested that it be recorded in full in the minutes: 'ID: Board of County Commissioners County of Harnett All residents of Anderson Creek Townshjp SUBJECT: Anderson Creek Rescue Disatrict „Report filed on Feb 2, 1983 1 Reference to page 2 of subject.report,: -Maps 1 and 2 were not attached to public copy located at T & T Grocery located. on Hwy 210. Futhermore, Map °No. 2 does not make reference to Flat Brach Fire Department as if this Fire District-did not exist. Map': No 3`,page 2B indicates the location of the Rescue Facility to be at the Anderson Creek Fire Station. "THE RESCUE FACILITY SHOULD BE LOCATED IN THE CENTER OF ANDERSON CREEK TOWNSHIP TO ALLOW ALL RESIDENCE' EQUAL DISTANCEI AND TIME TRAVEL FOR USE AND ACCESS TO 'THE RESCUE`: SERVICE." 2.- Reference to Page I1 "STATEMENT ON SERVICE DISTRICT STANDARDS” (a) Bottom of page 3, item (3) in which the Board of Commissioners have found that "It is economically feasible to provide the proposed services in the district WITHOUT UNREASONABLE OR BURDENSOME ANNUAL TAX LEVIES." (b) Hass. the Board of Commissioneers surveyed -the Anderson Creek Township, to see how many residents are living below the poverty line, with poverty conditions being created almost on a daily basis, based on the current economical conditions of our county today-and will-continue for some time? (c) Part II, Page 4, Item (41 , "THERE IS A DEMONSTRABLE DEMAND FOR THE PROPOSED SERVICES BY PERSON RESIDING IN THE DISTRICT." The subject report does not contain any evidence of DEMONSTRABLE DEMAND FOR proposed district, 1 e. copy of petition, number of persons signing if any such petition, or any other evidence by persons residing in the Proposed DEistrict (d) Part II, page 5, paragraph 4, second statement which reads: "The maximum ad valorem tax imposed . on all residents in the proposed area is $1.10 per. $1.00 valuation. NONE OF THIS IS FOR FIRE. PROTECTION' SERVICES." I must remind the Board of Commissioners ladies and gentlement that on page 4 of subject report which list tax rates including Fire Prtoection clearly shows .a maximum tax imposed WILL include Fire Protection. The report, page 5, is incorrect as stated and misleading to the residents of Anderson Creek Township. 3.- Reference Part III, "THE PLAN", page 7, paragraph 3, "SPECIFIC SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED ",. states the services shall be limited -Le EMERGENCY AND RESCUE SERVICES. All residents in Anderson Creek Township know that the emergency equipment and services will be rendered to those persons who skin their nose, cut their finger, stumped toe, headaches and many such other NON - EMERGENCIES. These types of calls for an emergency services is unnecessary and very costly to those who pay for emergency services. 4.: Reference Part III !'THE PLAN", page 7, paragraph 4, indicates that the County of Harnett It prepared to contract with the Anderson Creek Fire District to provide Emergency Rescue Services. I have been informed that the Board of Directors for fire .and rescue-services will be one and the same if this proposed district is - votedintobeing. Mr Chairman, ladies and gentlement, this combined Board of Directors for both types of fire and rescue services has proved in the past to be not in the best interest of each type of- :service nor in the best interest of our residents in Anderson Creek Township. 5. Reference to Part II, page 5, Exhibit "H" containing signature of residents of the proposed district was not attached to reference report displayed at T & T Grocery, Hwy 210. 6. "ANNUAL RESCUE BUDGET', as contained in reference report indicates that 'a- "Support 1st Responder Group in Flat Branch" with a budget cost of $500 annually. The Board of Directors of Flat Branch Volunteer Fire Department, Inc.; has not -be issued any such notice or request and do not support a lst Responder as' . suggest in reference report. The Flat Branch Volunteer -Fire Department Board of Directors have taken no action in reference to a 1st Responder Group. 7, Reference to EXHIBIT C -1, indicating a total revenue of $33,560.00 is with the economical condition being as it is at present. therefore, an additional tax levy of $.06 per $100 valuation is considered ahardship - with unreasonable and burdensome annual tax levies: Respectfully Submitted, This 16th Day of May, 1983.
