Meeting on raising fire service fee set for Thursday By Jack Bailey jackbailey@theputnamstandard.com
WINFIELD – Two Putnam County commissioners who opposed raising the county's fire service fee last year say that a recent proposed increase from the county Fire Board is more reasonable, but are waiting to make a final decision until after a public meeting Thursday night, June 14, in Winfield. Putnam County Commission President Gary Tillis said that the
most recent request for an increase was more reasonable than a request last year that he opposed. “I definitely feel that this request is way more reasonable,” Tillis said of the request that the Fire Board made last month that would raise the $25 a year fire service fee for most homeowners to $37.50 a year. “But I want to hear from the public first before I make a final decision. I haven't made up my mind yet. I definitely want to lis-
ten to the concerns and comments from the public.” Likewise, Commissioner Joe Haynes opposed last year's request for a fire service fee increase, but finds the most recent request more reasonable. Last year, the Fire Board asked for fee increases that would have increased the fee 100 percent or more depending on the size of a structure. “I find this proposal more reasonable,” Haynes said of the recent rate increase proposal. “I
still haven't made up my mind, but I personally find it more reasonable.” Haynes said that last year when the Fire Board asked for an increase he received an overwhelming amount of calls about the issue, with most callers opposing the increase. This time around, he said that he has received far fewer calls, but the calls he has received have been against the increase. SEE FEE ON PAGE 3

“If people are for or against the increase, I want to hear valid reasons,” Haynes said. County Commissioner Steve Andes, who also serves on the Fire Board, supported the proposed increase last year, and is doing so again this time around. “There is a real need for this,”Andes said, noting that many pieces of equipment in the county's fire fighting fleet of vehicles are aging and in need of repair or replacement. The most recent proposed increase from the Fire Board is scaled back from last year's proposal. The proposed rates are based on the size of a structure. For residential homes up to 2,500 square feet the current fire service fee is $25 and under the proposed increase would go up to $37.50 a year. For residential homes 2,501 square feet and over the proposal would raise the fire service fee from $30 to $45 a year. For commercial property
under 2,500 square feet the fire service fee would increase from $50 to $75 a year, while for commercial property 2,501 to 3,750 square feet the fee would increase from $100 to $150. Commercial property fees would continue to escalate based on the size of a structure until they top out at buildings larger than 20,001 square feet. For those size commercial buildings the rate would increase from $750 to $1,125 a year. Fire chiefs in Putnam County say that the increases are necessary in order to keep pace with the rising costs of fuel, workers' compensation insurance and equipment. If approved by the Commission, the fee increases would bring the Fire Board an estimated $1.1 million a year. Currently, the fire service fees bring in more than $700,000 a year. The meeting to discuss raising the fire service fee is Thursday, June 14, at 7 p.m. at the courthouse in Winfield.

Marshall receives large donation for engineering complex HUNTINGTON – Huntington-based company Arthur’s Enterprises has made a large gift pledge to the MarUniversity shall Foundation, which will help build the university’s new, advanced Applied Engineering Complex, Marshall President Stephen J. Kopp has announced. The all-new academic facility will have more than 141,000 square feet of classroom, laboratory, office and special applications spaces that will have a transformative effect on the College of Information Technology and Engineering and disciplines, science-related Kopp said. Construction is expected to begin in October. Art Weisberg, president of Arthur’s Enterprises, said he is making the significant gift because he understands how important Marshall University is to the future of Huntington and the surrounding region. “This area has tremendous potential to grow. My goal is to help it happen,” Weisberg said. “By providing financial resources to help Marshall grow in engineering and related disciplines, it will not only help
This architect’s rendering depicts what the new Applied Engineering Complex at Marshall University will look like once completed. my business develop and prosper but it also assists the growth of the greater Huntington area and the entire state. I love Huntington and I know this gift will make a lasting difference.” The Weisberg family has been very supportive of Marshall University and, with their financial assistance, has greatly contributed to the successful re-establishment of Marshall’s engineering degree program, which was re-launched in 2006. Engineering is now one of the fastest-growing majors at Marshall. The modern engineering laboratory facility on 3rd Avenue, which was dedicated in August 2008, bears
the Weisberg family name. The Applied Engineering Complex will be located between the Arthur Weisberg Family Engineering Laboratories and the Robert C. Byrd Biotechnology Science Center on 3rd Avenue in Huntington. With approval from the Marshall University Board of Govthe engineering ernors, complex also will bear the Weisberg family name. Weisberg said he continues to support Marshall because he believes in the leadership provided by President Kopp. “Dr. Kopp is a true visionary leader who delivers on his promises. I strongly endorse his bold initiatives and accomplish-
ments,” Weisberg said. Kopp said the Weisberg family’s generosity and foresight have created dramatic changes on Marshall’s campus and in the Huntington community. They have had the foresight to recognize that the region and the nation require more professionals in engineering, mathematics and the sciences to remain competitive in the global economy. Marshall University is responding by expanding its capabilities in these academic areas. “Art Weisberg understands the power of true philanthropy to transform a community, a university like Marshall and the impact that has on the generations of students who come through our leading-edge programs,” Kopp said. “He is a leader and we should celebrate this incredible man for what he is doing to change lives and provide opportunities for the people of our city, our state and our region.” Verna Gibson, chairwoman of the Marshall University Board of Governors, expressed her appreciation to the Weisbergs for their continued leadership in the community and
generosity to Marshall. “It is not surprising that such committed and outstanding individuals share Dr. Kopp’s vision for unprecedented academic achievement and economic growth that will benefit our region and state for generations,” Gibson said. Dr. Joseph B. Touma, a longtime Marshall supporter and benefactor, and incoming chair of the Marshall University Board of Governors, praised the Weisberg gift. “This remarkable gift by Art Weisberg is another act of his generosity, vision and philanthropy for our community and region,” Dr. Touma said. “What the Weisbergs are doing allows Marshall University to realize their dream of excellence and building the engineering school of the future. “Dr. Kopp’s leadership and the hard work of Dr. Ron Area, CEO of the Marshall University Foundation, are to be commended because they proved to Art and Joan that they can make their dreams come true. I am deeply moved by and appreciative of my good friends Art, Joan and the Weisberg family.”
