services by limiting to emergency calls only, no community service, limit
the number of volunteers, compromised fire dept. safety and depend on mutual
aid.
2. Property Tax Increase, an additional 1 mil levy to cover the $76,000
operating deficit, this only addresses financial impact and new compensation
program.
3. contract with the City of Franklin or enter into discussion to form a
Joint Fire District, City of Franklin interested in contract options cost
unknown.
4. Form a medic division, increased run activity, additional revenue source
and streamline and enhance overall fire service to community. Work with
police in training and they could be first responders. Option 4 preliminary
