Fire fees eliminated
Commissioners voted unanimously to eliminate county fire fees at a first reading to repeal Chapter 116 of Pike County code Wednesday morning.
Fire fees will not be included in tax bills at the end of next year and the fire department's budget will be a part of the county's overall budget as it was in years past. County manager Bill Sawyer said the county will go through the normal budgeting process and address the change at that time.
"I firmly believe from a budgetary point of view that it will certainly cost citizens less than $50 per household," he said.
A special called meeting Dec. 29 will be held for commissioners to vote on a second reading of the ordinance to repeal the fire fee.

Good for y'all Pike County we still have a bunch of crooks running our county and worring about recreation facilities and parks.
Next year. Yes need a full time paid Lamar County firefighters with the firehouse 24 hours a day and 7 days a weeks. Not fire fees.
Line is straight from it.
So you all better be careful of you will have mice traps all stuck to you.
what is it? i bet you don't know.
Then when the Sheriff Leaves they talk about him. Laughing.
He is too nice.
You really gonna walk out?
I the "Firebug" the one and only often imitated will enlighten you less educated polecate losers on one subject and one subject only. If you haven't figured out by now the polecat-5 base their opinions on feelings only and not educated facts. They have no concept of the inter working of the fire service nor they never will. Just because Danny chief can impress you with long enchanted conversations that make you feel warm and fuzzy on the inside doesn't mean he is was qualified for the position. Just look at his past employment history, enough said. Just look at his past education, enough said.
When a taxpaying citizen speaks the truth about any given subject and others don't want to hear the truth, you all call them names and try and divert the truth with a spin. I chose the name "Firebug" because I thought it was catchy. I could care less you dislike it but just remember one thing, "I will tell the truth" regardless of my popularity. The Firebug will remain truthful and persistent on the subject of the fire service. After all, who knows my abilities and education?
I support the county manager’s recommendation and hope the BOC will follow suit. These hard economic times call for tough solution to complex problems.
