The 1;own and Village Negotiating Committees want language added
to the form of the contract that discusses the methodology used to
reyiewthe economics of,the relationship between the Village ~nd the
~ review to
I1.
The, new. language will, in sum & substance, be as follows:
'a. The Town and the Village intend that the cost of fire pro~tecfion tp
the combined areas served by the Greenport Fire Dept, (East-West,
District an~d Incorporated Vi lage) be borne equitably by taxpayers in
both jurisdictions.
b. The Town and the Village intend that the (impact of inflation on t~he
coSt of delivery of fire protection services) should be anticipated ir~
the schedule of payments to the Village for such services.
c~ The impact of growth within the District should be considered in
calculating the value of fire protection services provided to the
District by the Village.
Substance of the Agreement:
1. The committees have analyzed the relative burden on taxpayersi
of the DiStrict and the Village for the cost of fire protection services
provided by the Greenport Fire Department and that an imbalance
exists.
District taxpayers are currently taxed at the rate of $34.29 per
$1,000.00 of assessed valuation while Village taxpayers are taxed
at an effective rate of $49.58 per $1,000.00.
The committees have agreed to eliminate this imbalance over the
first four years of the new contract through annual increases of
$12,291.00 to the contract payments.
Outline of A.qreement
After the fourth year all taxpayers will be paying at an effective
rate of $39.10 'per $t,000.00.
This effective rate was arrived at by combining the appropriations
for ali fire-related expenses of the District and the Villageand
dividing the total by the combined gross assessed valuations of
the; Distdct and the Village.
the new contract will provide for
annual payments to the Village that include the cost of
~ the District Firemen and that the
Vi[iage. wil[ assume responsibility for the management and
expense of the program.
The new contract will provide for an increase in the payment for
the fi~th year of the contract of $24,803.68. This represents 8 1/2%
of thepayment for the fourth year of the contract ($291,808.00)..
This increase is intended to compensate the Village for the
an~ticipated inflation over the five year term of Contract calculated
at 1.7% per year.
