Dear Board Members :
The Board of Fire Commissioners for the Oakley Fire Protection District
met on Wednesday , March 3 , 1993 and passed the following resolution :
THAT the Oakley Fire Protection District
be approved an increase of $55 . 00 to our
existing fire benefit assessment of $13 . 00 to
be available to replace revenues removed by
the state . This would give us a total of
$68 . 00 , and we request this assessment be in
place for a. minimum of 5 years .
The Oakley Fire Protection District was formed in 1952 . Since that date
and to this date it has operated on a volunteer basis rather than a full-time
paid staff . This district has continued to operate on a minimal budget and.
through the dedication of its personnel has taken the district to the
recently granted ISO rating of 3 , which we are very proud of . If the
district is not funded at current levels , it wou.ld mean a possible decline of
that rating and a deterioration of service to the community and would hamper
growth .
The Oakley Fire Protection District operates two stations on a budget
less than $500 , 000. Traditionally a fire station cost is a million plus per
station . Oakley ' s budget therefore represents a million and a half savings
each year . Therefore , we respectfully request our resolution be adopted by
the Board of Supervisors for the June ballot .
Resp ctfully yqdrs ,
TH H . COCKRELL
Chairman
