Nowicki, Fiscal Services Director City Governmou SUBJECT: Fire Protection Agreements for 2008 PURPOSE The purpose of this memorandum is to provide the Mayor and members of the City Council with information to consider Fire Protection Agreements for three properties located outside the city limits. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council approve the 2008 Fire Protection agreements for those three properties located outside the City limits. BACKGROUND The City first offered fire protection contracts in 1962 to Illinois Tool Works, Chicago Rawhide, Leewards and McGraw Edison (St. Charles Street). In 1967, the fire protection contracts established a tax rate based on real estate and personal property assessed valuations. The tax rate only included operating costs and capital expenditures of the Fire Department. Insurance costs, depreciation and pension contributions were added to the formula in 1976 which currently equates to a rate of$2.10 per $100 Equalized Assessed Valuation. As a result of annexation or purchase by the City (Eagles Club), there are only three properties offered Fire Protection Agreements. The overall goal in establishing the fire protection charges was to make it economically beneficial for each business to annex into the City of Elgin. The following table highlights the assessed valuations (2006 & 2007) and fire protection charges for 2007, as well as the recommended charges for 2008. 2006 Assessed 2007 Assessed 2007 2008 Proposed Valuation Valuation Charges Charges ITW $1,804,989 $1,880,618 $37,905 $39,493 DSM Desotech 1,800,417 1,880,504 $37,809 $39,491 St. Charles Properties 139,607 167,826 $2,932 $3,524 Totals $3,745,013 $3,928,948 $78,645 $82,508 AI November 21, 2007 do TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council i"� " FROM: Olufemi Folarin, City Manager �tritcr�tty_Stabrr (,orer+rmc�tr James R.
