The result of his study follows s 1. He spoke of the A.T.A. Grad.ing System and the New York Fire Insurance minimum standards. He utilized both In 'nre-Darin,71 his plans and, estimates. He suggested that the Town first make an -invmntory of the land use and, water needs of the Town. Suggested equipment needed. to respond to fires in the proposed new west -end district could be two (2) pumpers, a tanker (1000 gal. per min. capability) and one, (1) 1-tv-1der- truck. This ladder truck could be a straight ladder truck but an aerial ladder truck imioiild be more desirable. A minimum. requirement mtght be one (1) ql.tgd truck and one. (1) 11-anker. 2-AREA ® Most of the high value assesment in the west end of the Town is over the minimum allowable distance from the )resent fire station (Homer). A minimum distance of 3 miles from a fire station would be the most desirable location for the west, end of the Tmln. Much of the heavy assesment in the east side of the Town Is over the minimum allowable distance from a fire station and lacking one (1) Piece of apparatus, namely, a ladder truck. 3.

There should be paid men on duty in the daytime and. a minimum of 60 volunteers with a minimum of 25 volunteers responding to a fire; or 3 paid men per shift (12 men) and volunteers. Estimated cost for paid personnel salaries would be $102,000.00 per year. In case of need the Cortlandville Station could be supplemented by 15 paid men from the city fire dept. (paid by the city)® I Make note, it could take up to 60 volunteers from the Town of Cortlandville. (A-1) 30 monitors would be necessary for the volunteers living in the Town at an estimated cost of $6,000.00,furnished and paid by the city of Cortland.. (A-2) Furniture and miscellaneous Items at an estimated cost of $3,500-00 would. be furnished and paid by the city of Cortland, If the plan goes -through. (A-3) Utilities - estimated cost $2,500.00 if the Town of Cortlandville was to furnish all equipment, 0 the estimated cost -would be approximately $167,000.00 (amortized over a ten year period) plus an annual utility cost of $2,500.00 and, an annual_ salary cost for personnel of $102,000.00. These figures do not include a building which could involve a total cost of $65,000.00 to 8150,000-00- , The suggested method of determining the fire taxratefor the Town, if the Town ives to Join with the City of Cortland in an Inter -Municipal Fire District, would be beassed on the same rate that the city tax- payers Day in 9. fire tax. Z The Towns contribution wowed bA the City rate multiplied by the a.ssesed vp.lize of the area serired in the Town. of Cortl.a.ndvi.11e. A station =_n Cortla.ndvi, l e would be of small value to Homer. The City of Cortland would give alarm circuit service to the dense area of the Town with a mi_ni.mur of ?Q alarm boxes. The Town would pay the cost of Installing the necessary connecting gables. Mr. Chamberlain rPcommend.ed that the. Town proceed with hydrant protection tc as much area, as nossible.
