URA denies Eagle Fire Protection District withdrawal request under same statutory rationale
Summary
Using the same statutory test and a staff financial review, the board denied the Eagle Fire Protection District’s request to withdraw from the URA. Counsel noted the fire district’s incremental amount is still insufficient relative to URA obligations.
Legal counsel explained that the Fire Protection District’s withdrawal request did not meet statutory eligibility because the URA’s outstanding contractual obligations exceed the increment attributable to that district. Counsel reviewed the numbers and the board moved to deny the request. "Our outstanding contractual obligations and debt exceeds their number," counsel said when summarizing the analysis.
The board voted to deny the Eagle Fire Protection District's request. Counsel noted that the district could reapply in future years if financial conditions change; the denial follows the same reasoning and documentation used for the ADA County EMS decision.
