ALBION LITTLE RIVER FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT

ALBION LITTLE RIVER VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT

MEMBER ANNUAL EXPENSE COMPENSATION POLICY

Fire Department Member Annual Expense Compensation. At some time prior to July, 2006 a district policy was established to partially compensate Albion Little River Volunteer Fire Department, Inc. active duty members for their individual out-of-pocket expenses incurred while responding to emergency calls [e.g. tire wear & fuel for personal vehicles responding to the fire station, wear & tear of personal clothing & equipment (eyeglasses, etc.)]. It was recognized by the members of the board that the district had limited funds with which to reimburse the fire department for compensation to volunteers. However, the board approved a policy to reimburse ALRVFD, Inc. for expenses incurred in making an annual payment of $600 to each qualified active duty fire department member in December of each year.

On June 25, 2008, at a regularly scheduled business meeting, the board voted unanimous approval of payment of an additional $300 annually per qualified member, increasing the total amount of compensation to $900 annually per qualified ALRVFD, Inc. member.

This document is to serve as a written confirmation and clarification of existing policy.
