Pay taxes for salaries for fire dept. employees and then you have to pay again for a "service" Keep in mind, you have to pay a fee, if you get a permit, to do work and build a home, remodel, etc., and it gets inspected by building inspector, for a fee. When it comes to fire dept, you have to pay extra for them to do their jobs that you already paid for. This is not just a Templeton issue, residents of may towns do things this way. I wonder how many people skip the smoke detector check because of the fees. Town has employee/citizen award at town meeting, perhaps a residents week in say September, smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors inspected free as a service to residents.
Sounds like a good plan to me.
ReplyDeleteJeff, when did these fees come into eistance
ReplyDeleteI'm going out on a limb here, but you think hese fees came into play back when our department was all on call and voluntary. You know, similar to the Town Fire Association.
Now we have a paid staff, funded department and these items should go away.
Kinda same thing with ambulance. We buy ambulance, we supply ambulance, we pay for staffing, so why are town residents charged for anything mor than items used to servicie them, you know, to replace those used so the next person has them..........We shouldn't be paying again for ambulance, fire reusable items...........
Seems like it wouldbe cheapper for town residents if we contracted ambulance out!
