BILL NUMBER:A11136
TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the town law, in relation to volunteer
members of the Armor Fire Company
PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: To allow for the Armor Volunteer Fire
Company to be exempt from the requirement that no more than forty-five
percent of the company's membership be of non-resident members.
SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS: Section one of the bill adds the Armor
Volunteer Fire Company of Erie County as a fire company that is exempt
from the requirement that no more than forty-five percent of its member-
ship consist of non-resident members.
JUSTIFICATION: In this economic climate it is very difficult for some
volunteer fire companies to recruit new members to replace those who may
move out of the district. Armor Volunteer Fire Company has had recent
troubles sustaining adequate enrollment from within the boundaries of
their fire district. Also, many volunteer firefighters who do move out
of the district are willing to continue their service in heir former
district of residence. Armor Volunteer Fire Company has many non-resi-
dent members who wish to continue their service, but are not able to
because of the residency requirement where no more than forty-five
percent of its volunteer firefighters may be non-residents. This
requirement is a hardship for the company with regards to staffing and
adequate service to the community, meriting an exemption.
