Morton, Groveland taking fire-costs dispute to ballot box

MORTON Only about 2% of the calls the Morton Fire Department responds to are in the Groveland Fire Protection District. But when district officials asked Dec. 7 for a reduction in the annual amount the district pays the village of Morton for fire and emergency medical services, citing financial shortfalls, the officials got some heat from the Village Board. This isn t the village s problem, said trustee Steve Leitch, who suggested the district put a tax increase referendum on the ballot. We shouldn t subsidize them, said trustee Ken Newman. Trustees voted 5-1 against the district s proposal to trim its annual payment to the village from 92.5% to 80% of its property tax revenue, about a $4,000 reduction in 2021. Only trustee Brad Menold supported the proposal.
