Village Atty. Ray Meader has drawn up a proposed ordinance to establish the board, which is expected to be voted on this month, the chief said.
The village receives $6,000 to $8,000 a year in out-of-state fire tax revenues, and that figure, earmarked for Fire Department improvements, is expected to go higher, he said.
