North Judson Town Council members approved a contact between the North Judson-Wayne Township Fire Department and Rich Grove Township when they met Monday night.
Fire Chief Joe Leszek was not present during this week’s meeting but he has been keeping Clerk-Treasurer Andrew Rowe informed about his correspondence with Doloris Locke, the Rich Grove Township Trustee.
Rowe told council members that while contract talks are still continuing between the Fire Chief and the trustee, Leszek did advise them to draw up a 1-year contract, as opposed to 2-year contract like the past. Other than shortening the length of time, no other changes were recommended.
Clerk-Treasurer Rowe noted that the Town Attorney Justin Schramm took a look at the paperwork. As everything was found to be in order, the contract was up for council consideration this week. They approved it, as presented, with a unanimous vote.
As a reminder, Rich Grove Township has a pay-by-call contract with the town Fire Department where $660 is paid per call, unlike other townships that are on fixed-contracts, such as Jackson and Wayne, where a $10,000 fee is paid annually.
