The City of West Union on Monday continued to discuss a 28E agreement, including cost-sharing percentages with the trustees of Auburn, Dover, Union, and Windsor Township.
Currently, West Union fully covers expenses related to the fire station and its maintenance, workman’s compensation, liability, and other required insurance to the fire department and its members.
Under the proposed cost-sharing agreement, Union Township would contribute 21.8 percent to assist with expenses (including fire station, maintenance, and insurance), Dover Township, 11.9 percent; Windsor Township, 7.3 percent; and Auburn Township, 3.7 percent.
City Administrator Teresa Ruroden noted that the current agreement has not been updated since it was developed in 1987.
