| 11 | Annual Review of Charges - Special Services |
The Fire Authority reviews annually, the charge it makes for special services from 1 April. Details of the current charges, which are estimated to produce £10,000 a year, are set out on the paper, attached marked 11. Charges have been increased, in recent years, to reflect additional costs to the Fire Authority of providing these services. These are mainly staff costs, and the increase has been agreed at the level of the firefighters’ pay award. In the current financial climate, and, given that to date there has been no pay increase during 2010/11, it is recommended that charges remain at their current level in 2011/12.
