Thank you for your dues

If your name is listed on page 2 or 3, please consider
this document your receipt for fire dues for Calendar
Year 2015. Properties within the city limits of Atlanta
are covered by the city of Atlanta and we thank them
for their partnership. If you have any questions or
corrections, please let us know. Our records indicate
we only have four members that have not paid in 2015.
New this year: churches are now provided free
membership.

Billing Cycle
In the last year, we have moved our members to an
annual billing cycle. For this reason, most of our
previous members received billings that were prorated. We have now worked through that entire process
and our annual 2016 invoices will be sent in January
for all of our members. We appreciate your patience!

Tornado Siren Grant

The department is currently working with the USDA on
a grant / low-interest-loan application for a new tornado
siren. This equipment upgrade would provide more
protection for our rural areas and inside of our local
school. The estimated cost of a siren is $20,000, but a
grant award would cover half of that cost. Our
department and community would be responsible for
the other $10,000. Your feedback is welcome as we
work through this process.

Controlled Burns
In April, our volunteers completed a prescribed
controlled burn for a landowner within our boundaries
as part of a public private partnership with the USDA. A
donation was received for the department to help cover
the costs. If you are interested in this type of activity in
the future, please contact us for further details.

Dues are $45 for primary
property and $25 for each
additional non-adjoining
property paid for each
calendar year.
Properties within city limits
are covered by the city of
Atlanta.

Welcome, New
Members!
While many local rural fire
departments are opting to
become a tax district, our board
has worked to ensure all
landowners in the area have
been asked to pay voluntary
dues. This means landowners
pay dues instead of taxes on
everything they own.
Earlier this year, we sent 168
prospect letters to non-member
landowners within our
boundaries that had never
been asked to join. The
response was incredible.
We have added more than
70 new members this year
(44% growth), grossing around
$3,600 in new income. These
are funds we can use for
equipment, utilities, etc.
In 2014, our membership dues
totaled around $7,700; we have
increased our budget for dues
for next year by almost 50%.
Estimated revenue for 2016 is
now $18,000 and includes
$1,500 quarterly payments
from the city of Atlanta. We
continue to have a great
relationship with the city of
Atlanta and appreciate their
financial support.
Your membership dues are
important to us. In the last year,
we made our final payment on
our newest truck, making the
department debt free. We look
forward to working to provide
even better protection to you
and your property in the years
to come.
