We would like to continue to offer contract with a 3% increase each year for the next three years. The increase is due to the rising inflation cost of expenses associated to the fire service. Such increases are for fire apparatus, both new equipment and the maintenance and repair of existing apparatus, personal protective equipment, rising fuel costs and equipment purchases to maintain a highly effective service to our districts. The proposed increase would be as follows: Contract Year Last Contract % +I- Increasel Decrease Annual Payment 2018-2019 $6787.61 x .03 $203.63 + $6787.61 = $6991.24 2019-2020 $6991.24 x .03 $209.74 + $6991.24 = $7200.98 2020-2021 7200.98 x .03 $216.03 + $7200.98 = $7417.01 If your Board of Directors accepts this contract amount, the City of Laurel and the Laurel Fire Department are requesting that the new contracts will be finalized and ready to be presented to the City of Laurel Council by first the Council Workshop in June.
