rates. It was pointed out that the adjuster will be in town shortly to do a
review of the area, and there will be an evaluation and adjustment made at.that
time. It was stated by r' ir. Perez that there was a person available from
the Fire Service District to act as a volunteer fire chief, thereby allowing
a considerable cut in the budget. 11 I?a jdu rade the follwing cements
1. Ole do have these people from the underwriters coming through in a
couple months.
2. If we hope to be able to rent service from the City, we need to be
in a position to be able to have something to offer, hinged on the assumption
that we do have a high quality fire program.
Audience: It was pointed out that persons wishing to withdraw themselves from
the Fire Service District could do so by merely presenting themselves and
requesting withdrawal of land from the fire district. 11rs. Hajdu in return
said that to withdraw from the district, one would not only have to present
themself along with a petition, but it would have to be done by ordinance,
contingent upon the fact whether or not persons surrounding that particular
property would be jeopardized. After considerable discussion, Mr. Arndt wanted
to go on record as opposing this ordinance, that we could get along without the
fire chief's salary. After discussion, the Chair ruled that the public hearing
be continued on July 17 with a work session on July 9 with the members of the
