municipalities - Charges.
A. The board of county commissioners of each county may enter
into agreements with any municipality for the furnishing of fire
protection and emergency services, including, but not limited to,
medical attention and wreck removal, by said municipality for all
persons and property in areas outside the corporate limits of such
municipality and to pay for such services a reasonable amount on a
per run basis, or such other equitable basis as may be agreed upon,
and to pay for such services from funds of the county general fund
or the county highway fund. The board of county commissioners of
each county may also enter into reciprocal agreements with other
counties for such services. The board of county commissioners shall
also have the authority to collect charges for such services
performed by a municipality or another county, pursuant to the
provision of this section, from any person to whom such services are
provided. Said funds shall be disbursed to the entities providing
services.
B. Should a disagreement over service areas arise between
jurisdictions providing services, with or without an agreement as
described in subsection A of this section, either entity may
petition for arbitration by the Fire Marshal's Commission to
determine boundary lines for the entities involved. In making a
determination, the Fire Marshal's Commission shall consider, but is
not limited to, the importance of a quick response time, the
financial burden on both the service providers and the jurisdiction
receiving services, and the capabilities of both jurisdictions to
render services.
