' Preamble to the Agreement: 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.

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)..
