WINFIELD – For the secondtime in the past year the Put-nam County Fire Board is ask-ing the Putnam CountyCommission to raise thecounty's fire service fee.

Fire Chiefs from throughoutPutnam County appeared at theCommission's Tuesday, May 22,meeting and asked for an in-crease that was roughly half ofwhat they asked for last yearwhen they approached theCommission. Last year, afterdebate and a public hearing onthe proposed increase the Com-mission did not approve the in-crease.

Putnam County Commis-sioner Steve Andes, who alsoserves on the Fire Board, said atTuesday's meeting that theneed for an increase is noweven more apparent than it waslast year.

“The bottom line is that weneed an increase and we need itquick,” Andes said, noting thatcosts have continued to rise foreverything that the fire depart-ments need to operate fromgasoline to replacement partsand equipment.

Tim McCoy of the BancroftVolunteer Fire Department out-lined the latest request on be-half of the Fire Board.

The proposed rates are basedon the size of a structure. Forresidential homes up to 2,500square feet the current fire serv-ice fee is $25 and under the pro-posed increase would go up to$37.50 a year. For residentialhomes 2,501 square feet andover the proposal would raisethe fire service fee from $30 to$45 a year.

Last year, the Fire Boardasked for the fire service fees todouble.

“When we met previouslyand asked for additional fees weheard what you and the publichad to say,” McCoy said. “Wetook that into considerationand the amount we are asking

for now is less.”McCoy said that since the fire

service fee was implemented in1986 it has not been increased.Since that time, however, costshave continued to rise eachyear.

“It is not keeping pace withour expenses,” McCoy said.“The Fire Board cannot con-tinue to run at a deficit. This(proposed increase) will allowus to pay the bills.”

Overall, the proposed fee in-creases would bring the FireBoard an estimated $1.1 milliona year. Currently, the fire servicefees bring in $700,000 a year.

Winfield Mayor Randy Bar-nett said that he and WinfieldCity Council support the mostrecent proposed increase in the

fire service fee.Likewise, Hurricane Mayor

Scott Edwards spoke in favor ofthe increase at the May 22 Com-mission meeting.

“Sometimes things have tohappen and this is one of thosetimes,” Edwards said. “In orderfor the Fire Board to pay thebills something has to happen.”

Edwards also reminded thosein the crowd that the county'seight fire departments do notsimply respond to fires, theyalso respond to car wrecks andother accidents.

At the same time fees on resi-dential property would go up by50 percent under the proposal,commercial property wouldalso see their fire service feesincrease.

For commercial propertyunder 2,500 square feet the fireservice fee would increase from$50 to $75 a year, while for com-mercial property 2,501 to 3,750square feet the fee would in-crease from $100 to $150. Com-mercial property fees wouldcontinue to escalate based onthe size of a structure until theytop out at buildings larger than20,001 square feet. For thosesize commercial buildings therate would increase from $750to $1,125 a year.

Gary Young of G&G Buildersquestioned the size of the pro-posed fire fee increases and alsoquestioned why buildings thatcontained sprinkler systemsand other fire retarding equip-ment were treated the same asbuildings that did not containsuch equipment.

Young added that there re-mained many unansweredquestions regarding the pro-posed fee increase and saidsuch a complex issue neededmore evaluation.

Another local businessman,Glenn Yeager, said that the FireBoard and local fire depart-ments needed to more fully ex-plore other sources of revenuesuch as grants, in order to pre-vent a situation where they areasking local residents and busi-

nesses to pay more in fees everyfew years.

Andes said that the FireBoard is encouraging the de-partments to do that very thingand added that Bancroft hasbeen very successful in the pastyear in securing grants.

Andes said that the FireBoard is also stepping up actionto target those who have notpaid their fire service fees. Hesaid that there are approxi-mately $104,000 in uncollectedfire service fees due to the FireBoard from commercial proper-ties within the county. He saidthat the Fire Board is exploringall legal actions it has to collectthose fees.

“We are looking at everythingwe can do to save money,”Andes said. “But the bottomline is that the Fire Boardspends more than it takes inand we cannot continue to dothat. We need a decision made.We put it off last year and we aresuffering. We need to do some-thing.”

Commissioners did not acton the proposed rate increaseson Tuesday, instead schedulinga public meeting for 7 p.m. onThursday, June 14, to alloweveryone who wanted to com-ment on the issue the chance todo so.

“Beartown is a natural area andremains a place where nature’sforces can prevail and man’s in-fluence is purposely kept to aminimum,” said Beartown Supt.Mike Smith. “However, treeskilled by an invasion of the hem-lock wooly adelgid were in suchclose proximity to the boardwalkthat their natural deteriorationcould have created a hazard tovisitors. Some 50 trees were felledand will be allowed to return tothe soil to nourish a new forest ofblack birch which is springing upnow that more sunlight is reach-

ing the previously shaded forestfloor. Many beautiful hemlocksremain, but visitors will be able tosee forest succession in progressas the hemlocks are replaced bybirches.”

Damages to the half-mileboardwalk from the tree-felling

operations have been repaired,corroded fasteners have been re-placed, and deteriorated sectionsof oak walkway have been re-moved. Nearly 400 feet of newboardwalk were constructed ofrough-sawn, specially treatedpine lumber.

STAFF REPORTST. ALBANS – A new park

dedicated to honoring womenwho worked on the home frontduring World War II is slated tobe dedicated on Saturday, May26 at 11:30 a.m. in St. Albans.

The Rosie the Riveter Parkwill be located in the RoadsidePark maintained by the city of

St. Albans that is along U.S.Route 60 (MacCorkle Avenue)in St. Albans across from the St.Albans Shopping Center thathouses McDonald's, Krogerand Kmart . About 12 'Rosies'are expected to attend theevent.

The park will be complete ex-cept for the central monu-

ment/statue, which is stillbeing researched, priced anddiscussed by the Rosie ParkCommittee.

Organizers hope that the newroadside park will serve as amodel for other roadside parksacross the country to alsohonor 'Rosies.'

“This park is a message, by

example, that American com-munities can honor and learnfrom Rosies in ways that makea long-term impact,” said JeffBosley, president of the groupThanks! Plain and Simple. “Be-cause the park is beautiful, use-ful, and affordable to manycommunities, it’s a great modelfor Americans to make a state-

ment - Americans can pull to-gether, from the grass-roots up,to honor and work with Rosies.The park is one of many educa-tional efforts we have created toshare with America; however,we hope the park and its timinghelp us show that it’s time for anational Rosie the Rivetermovement.”

TEAYS VALLEY -- The PutnamPublic Service District is rankedat the top in a "taste test" of itswater by the National RuralWater Association, Mike Mc-Nulty told the Putnam RotaryClub at the group’s meeting onTuesday.

"We were in the top five," hesaid, "and your Putnam PSDwas the only surface water facil-ity in the country to make thetop five."

Most water comes from un-derground, from the aquifer,but Putnam gets its water froma watershed area of about 10square miles in the Poplar Forkarea. The surface water is notcontaminated with minerals,waste or the pollutants whichgo into the ground in manyplaces today.

The state standard for waterpurity is point-three NTUs(Nephelometric Turbidity Units,a measure of clarity), accordingto McNulty. Putnam water farexceeds that standard at 0.04NTUs. (One NTU means aboutone milligram of fine silica in aliter of water.)

Occasionally, there are com-plaints, however.

In checking at a home in anupscale Teays Valley home,workers found the source to be

a home filtration system whichwas sadly out of date. "Home

filtration serves no purpose inPutnam," McNulty said.

He also suggested that cus-tomers check the cartridge fil-ters in refrigerators.

"Most people are not evenaware of them," he added.

Unlike many communitieswhich are "literally drying up"from lack of water resources,Putnam has an abundance ofclean surface water. The PSDtreats about 1,6 million gallonsa day for its 9,100 water cus-tomers.

The district also serves some9,800 customers for waste treat-ment.

The combined operationsmake it the largestwater/sewage PSD in the state.

Among other awards, the Put-nam district holds first-placefor AWOP (Area-Wide Opti-mization Program) in West Vir-ginia.

During his eight years as gen-eral manager for Putnam PSD,McNulty's leadership hasbrought about growth and im-provement in many of the com-pany's operations.

Ahead is a $16 million projectto complete sewer service onRocky Step and Teays Valley

Road for some 450 new cus-tomers.

The PSD is also planning tobuild a "twin sister" to its 1.3million-gallon tank on the tankfarm near Liberty Square.

New SCADA (SupervisoryControl and Data Acquisition)equipment is now in place,which enables the monitoringof many operations at a centralcomputer station.

And residential water metersover the next two years will bereplaced by meters which canbe read remotely by radio.

All of this means more effi-ciency and lower costs for a util-ity which is already among thebest.

"The Putnam Public ServiceDistrict is community ownedand operated, not investorowned," McNulty said. "It is nota for-profit company. What youpay here stays here."
