For Fiscal Year 20162017 a calculation was made to determine the
increase that the New Castle County Volunteer Fire Companies received for the
insurance premium tax in Calendar Year 20142015 versus Calendar Year 20132014. That amount was added to the base allocation
to each Volunteer Fire Company in Kent and Sussex Counties. The base represents $22,401 included in the
Fiscal Year 1999 Grant-in-Aid Appropriation Bill. For each subsequent fiscal year, a similar
calculation will be made and if there is an increase from one fiscal year to
the next fiscal year, that amount will be added to the $22,401 base to become
the amount to be paid for that fiscal year.
At no time will the amount for Kent and Sussex Volunteer Fire Companies
be less than the base amount of $22,401.
