Council approves $15,000 fire‑territory payment to Wayne Township

The Attica City Council approved a $15,000 contract to Wayne Township to continue cost‑sharing arrangements with West Point Fire under the city’s fire‑territory arrangements.

Chief Miller explained the funds were fire‑territory funds, not city general fund dollars, and described ongoing negotiations with Wayne Township about future run totals and cost allocations as staffing and call volumes change. "These are fire territory funds. Nothing that the fire department does with any kind of budget is city budget," the chief said.

Council moved and unanimously approved the $15,000 amount for the coming period; members agreed to finalize paperwork and have the mayor sign the documents.

The chief said he would renegotiate future contributions with Wayne Township as the city’s staffing and call distribution changes. Council did not adopt any additional directives beyond approving the payment and directing staff to complete the contract paperwork.
