ReplyHow does the District determine how much the impact is for a business ? Who approves the fee and the decision to impose it ? Do the residents get any say or vote in the imposition or amount of this fee ?

ReplySorry for the typo Elizabeth, but 19 million is still a vary high amount of money and burden to the residents of EG, and nothing to pooh pooh about. It seems thare are no plans from the Fire District on how to resolve, nor it seems any concern about it. Maybe they could tap their "rainy day" fund, which I believe is $900,000 ! All of this is contrary to Mr Daly's assertion on 11/5/12 that: "The Fire District is financially well managed by the Board of Fire Commissioners and does not have one penny of debt." I guess the paltry sum of 19 million dollars in retirement liability isnt really a debt ?

ReplyThe Fire Commissioner keeps saying they are doing fine and there's no reason to merge with the town, but he never mentions or talks about the 20 million dollar unfunded retirement liability they have or how they intend to resolve it. I dont think that this is doing "just fine" or that having a 700k slush fund is showing fisccal responsibility when this debt exists.
