Excerpts from journal-topics.com: Officials from the Elk Grove Township Fire Protection District and the Village of Mount Prospect are currently negotiating an intergovernmental agreement to determine how the fire district will be compensated following recent annexations. More land is expected to be added in the near future. State law requires the village to provide financial compensation to the fire district for properties it annexes. In response, the village is considering a proposal to pay the full amount over a shorter period—three years instead of five—to help the fire district maintain its current level of service without reducing staff. Additionally, the village is exploring a long-term funding plan to ensure the district can continue operating despite declining tax revenue. Under the standard arrangement, the village must pay the fire district a gradually decreasing percentage of property taxes from annexed areas over five years: 100% in year one, 80% in year two, 60% in year three, 40% in year four, and 20% in year five. However, the village is now proposing an accelerated agreement that would cover all previously annexed and future properties within three years. The fire district has responded with a draft agreement requesting payments over the next 10 years, along with a commitment to provide fire services for the same duration. This has raised concerns among village officials. Mount Prospect Village Manager Michael Cassady expressed worries about the long-term financial stability of the fire district. He noted that the district already faces a structural deficit that could threaten its ability to operate effectively—even before any annexations took place. Cassady believes a three-year deal offers a more realistic transition period. He expects the fire district’s staffing levels to decrease during this time, which he sees as a necessary adjustment. The village is planning to annex part of a United Airlines property in unincorporated Elk Grove Township, as well as Birch Manor, a residential area at the northwest corner of Linneman Road and Dempster Street. If a three-year agreement is finalized, the fire district may eventually contract services with the village after that period. Fire district attorney Karl Ottosen warned that without a stable funding source, the district will face serious financial challenges in the coming year. “They’re losing nearly 50% of their tax revenue,†he said. “We need to know who will provide fire protection and how it will be funded.†The Elk Grove Township Fire Protection District serves several industrial businesses in unincorporated areas, as well as mobile home parks along Elmhurst Road and Touhy Avenue. If no agreement is reached, Ottosen said the fire district may have to significantly reduce its service levels, which could impact residents’ safety and emergency response times.
