That is an increase of $11,980, or 6.9% over the 2000 budget. The main cause <br />of the increase is an increase in the contribution toward the firefighter pension plan from <br />$28,000 to $34,000. Based on the cost allocation formula, Orono's share of the operating <br />budget is $134,632. <br />The equipment replacement schedule includes the replacement of a tanker truck in 2001 <br />at a cost of $110,000. Orono's share of this cost is $77,000. Orono currently has a <br />balance of $104,000 in its Long Lake Fire Equipment Replacement account. <br />Moorse stated that Orono currently places $30,000 a year into the Equipment <br />Replacement account, and that would have to increase to $40,000 a year to accommodate <br />the fire department's equipment replacement plan. The new city would have to bond for <br />part of that. <br />Kelley stated that Orono pays 72% of the Long Lake Fire Department's budget, without <br />controlling how the money is spent. He stated that if consolidation occurs they should <br />correct the situation where Orono contributes the bulk of the funds with minimal control. <br />10 <br />0 <br />11 <br />1 <br />
