Board agrees invoice for Fire Protection District to be paid from fire fund
Summary
Trustees voted to pay a $1,993.91 invoice from Stobbs & Sinclair Ltd. out of the Fire Protection District's separate fund after discussion over fund balance (chief cited about $60,000; president referenced about $75,000).
The Village of South Jacksonville Board approved payment of a $1,993.91 invoice from Stobbs & Sinclair Ltd. related to the Fire Protection District, and trustees agreed the cost should be charged to funds controlled by the Fire Department rather than the village general fund.
President Richard Samples presented the invoice and said it was his opinion the bill should be paid from the Fire Protection District fund because the services "relate only to the Fire Protection District and not the Village." Fire Chief Richie Evans said the department fund contained about $60,000; Samples said the fund had about $75,000. Trustees Steve Retzer and Tom Jordan supported using the department's funds, and trustees approved the payment by roll call.
The minutes show the trustees intend the Fire Protection District to control and maintain its own fund balance going forward as the district becomes more separate from village operations. No additional expenditures from that fund were authorized at the Feb. 5 meeting.
