Council weighs revising fire-district contract and insurance-premium calculation
Summary
Councilmembers debated modifying the fire-district contract and the insurance-premium formula that allocates costs, with some members urging delay until budget season and others proposing a full recalculation to avoid winners and losers.
Councilmembers discussed the fire-district contract and whether to change the insurance-premium calculation now or wait for the next budget cycle. One councilmember said the council was "not gonna be able to do it for '27," and others noted waiting for budgets before acting.
Several members urged reworking the premium-calculation method so the formula is transparent and explains why particular increases occurred. Suggestions included a base rate derived from acreage and adjustments for property values or population; members proposed convening a committee to draft options for future consideration.
