Council ponders rural fire protection costs and funding
At the 4th Monday meeting councilmen discussed rural fire protection expenses. Councilman Bill Bratcher noted landowners paid about 100 dollars yearly over five years, while Montague County has not paid since 1968, just over 300 dollars. Mayor Hoeldtke suggested ad valorem taxation as the fair funding method and highlighted past donations and the need for a fulltime driver and insurance coverage. The council approved lake treatment costs and lease adjustments while delaying formal action on rural fire funding.
