False alarm fines could be raised in Rochelle
The Rochelle city council will consider an ordinance to raise false fire alarm penalties from 50 to 500 dollars based on prior false calls. Fire Chief Tom McDermott cited about 30 unnecessary calls in 10 weeks, mostly from businesses, with average costs cited at 75 to 100 dollars per call. Ambulance fees for out of town residents may rise to 125 dollars plus 1.50 per mile, with in town residents paying the same. Liquor license revisions remain under review and will not be on the upcoming agenda.
