The first election for the Brockport Fire District will be held Tuesday, December 11 from 6 to 9 p.m. at the Brockport Exempt Club on West Avenue.
Board of Commissioners Chairperson Jim Sauberan says the only citizens to submit letters of intent to run are the current five commissioners and treasurer: Jim Sauberan, Commissioner and Chairperson; Debra Finkle, Commissioner and Secretary; Charlie Sanford, Commissioner and Vice Chairperson; Larry Vaughan, Commissioner; Jarl Boyst, Commissioner; and Harold Mundy, Treasurer.
The election will be decided as follows: The person receiving the greatest number of votes shall be elected for a five-year term; the person receiving the second highest number of votes shall be elected for a four-year term; the person receiving the third highest number of votes shall be elected for a three-year term; the person receiving the fourth highest number of votes shall be elected for a two-year term; the person receiving the fifth highest number of votes shall be elected for a one-year term.
The person receiving the greatest number of votes for the office of treasurer shall be elected for a term of three years.
Voters will also decide on four propositions which the Board of Fire Commissioners adopted during their meeting October 15.
The propositions regard the establishment of capital reserve funds to finance the cost of acquisition of replacement/additional fire fighting vehicles, command vehicles, communications equipment as well as establishment of a building and facilities capital reserve fund.
Chairman Sauberan says only those people who are registered to vote with the Monroe County Board of Elections and are current residents of the Brockport Fire District can vote.
“We hope to see a good turnout,” he says.
