How much would are insurance rates go up if we lost the rating
in comparison to the increase in taxes?

Kimberling?
Would the whole cities rating go up or just those with longer response
times?

We also need this station
because of sprawl to the north. Can and is it appropriate if those new
developments provide some funding for the station ?
One
persons "sprawl" is another persons new home. What you are
suggesting is to add impact fees to our development approval process.
The City of Moscow does not have impact fees. Maybe we should,
maybe we shouldn't. This is not a one sided debate. You can make a
case for and against. At the present time in Moscow, I do not think we
should have impact fees as a part of our process.
This sounds like a recipe for having the
county contribute little to the capital cost. Why would the county
contribute in the current time of very tight government
revenue?
The City of Moscow needs the new fire station with or
without the participation of the Rural Fire District. It is my hope as a
Moscow citizen that we will pass the bond. Once that is done, we can
begin in earnest to discuss what the RFD will be able to do to help pay their
fair share. They have expressed a willingness to do just
that.
