Supervisor, Fire Commissioner Due

To Brief City On District Dissolution

ONEONTA – Town Supervisor Bob Wood and town Fire Commissioner Al Rubin will report on the prospective dissolution of the town fire district when Common Council convenes its regular meeting at 7 p.m. Tuesday in City Hall.

The town fire commissioners and City Hall have been stymied for more than two years on a contract that would allow the city’s Oneonta Fire Department to continue providing professional services to the town’s Southside business strip and  well-populated neighborhoods contiguous to the city.

The fire commissioners have scheduled a public hearing on dissolving the district for 7 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 18, at Elm Park Methodist Church, and may vote on dissolution that evening.
