Page 1 of 1 07 13.04 acc_5 C November 26, 2008 TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council FROM: Olufemi Folarin, City Manager James R.Nowicki, Fiscal Services Director SUBJECT: Fire Protection Agreements for 2009 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 2009 Fire Protection Agreements for the 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. 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 (2007 and 2008), and fire protection charges for 2008 as well as the recommended charges for 2009. 2007 Assessed 2008 Assessed 2008 2009 Proposed Valuation Valuation Charges Charges ITW $1,880,618 $1,943,054 $39,493 $40,804 DSM Desotech 1,880,504 1,942,937 39,491 40,802 St. Charles Properties 167,826 173,398 3,524 3,641 Totals $3,928,948 $4,059,389 $82,508 $85,247 Protection Agreements for 2009 November 26, 2008 Page 2 The projected 2009 fire protection charges will increase by $2,739 when compared to the 2008 totals due to the increase in assessed valuation to $4,059,389 from $3,928,948. COMMUNITY GROUPWINTERESTED PERSONS CONTACTED Representatives from the three properties were contacted and notified of the proposed 2009 fire protection agreement charges. FINANCIAL IMPACT Total fire protection charges would equal $85,247 and would finance the 2009 expenditures. Revenue totaling $78,000 was budgeted in the General Fund for 2009 in account number 010- 0000-538.00-00, Charges for Services/Fire Protection Agreement. LEGALIMPACT None ALTERNATIVES 1. The City Council may choose to provide fire protection to these three properties. 2. The City Council may choose not to provide fire protection to these three properties. Respectfully submitted for Council consideration. JRN/mlm
