citizens voted to annex into the Fire District. This department is being shown
in the budget only for historical reference. No motion is needed to continue
to the next item.
Dick Halley made a motion to keep historical information regarding the expenditures
the City incurred for the running a fire department for future use. Mr. Bennett
explained that records are kept regarding those types of items, and but they would
not be needed to use for starting a city fire department. Once the city was annexed
into the Jackson County Fire District it can not be un-annexed. The motion failed
due to lack of a second and was rescinded by Mr. Halley.
