Polk County News Polk County Itemizer-Observer • August 3, 2016 5A Fire: Cause of DAC: Revenues have increased fire not known Continued from Page 1A The cause of the fire is under investigation by the insurance agency, State Farm, said Polk No. 1 Capt. Mike Rusher. The house was already heavily involved when fire- fighters arrived on scene at about 3:42 p.m. About 15 firefighters re- sponded and seven units, including help from Dallas Fire & EMS. “The fire was in the rear of the structure and in the kitchen,” Rusher said. “It took us about 20 minutes to extinguish the fire and we were on scene until about 8:55 p.m.” The heat of the day played a role in battling the blaze, Rusher said. “Our people can’t work very long in the heat, so we had to have firefighters to relieve the firefighters that were working.” The family and their puppy went to live with relatives in town, Rusher said. A gofundme account has been set up to help with expenses under Amador House Fire. Rusher said it is critical to dispose of flammable chemicals properly, in- cluding any rags used with flammable chemicals. “Oily rags wadded up and set down somewhere, the oil builds up heat,” Rusher said. “It’s a sunny day, and if they’re outside, they can combust.” A second fire on Friday also displaced residents in an apartment on C Street. Rusher said the cause of that fire appeared to be overloaded outlets in the kitchen. When firefighters ar- rived at the apartment f i re, Ru s h e r s a i d t h e flames had been knocked out, but it wasn’t com- pletely extinguished. “We had to open up a wall to check for (fire) ex- tinction, and evacuate the smoke, ventilate the build- ing to get the smoke out of the apartments,” he said. The American Red Cross provided aid for the resi- dents of the C Street apart- ment fire, Rusher said. Continued from Page 1A “The thought was at that point that the revenue that was generated through mem- bership, sales and all that, plus the operating levy would have covered the whole cost of operating the facility,” Locke said. “Of course, the operating levy did not pass. The council was still obligat- ed to move forward with the general obligation bond to construct the facility.” He found record of council discussions at the time of possibility dedicating fran- chise fees to make up the dif- ference, but no action was taken. He said a number of chal- lenges have increased the cost of running the facility, including attendance in- creases and this year, the minimum wage hike, costing an estimated $9,000. Currently, the center has 1,100 members (up from 200 in 2000) and overall atten- dance grows about 5 percent each year. In 2015, total visits numbered more than 120,000. More people requires more staff, Locke said, to keep up with safety stan- dards. On the flip side, more visits have increased rev- enue, which has been grow- ing steady since 2011. This fiscal year’s budget estimates $465,000 in revenue, up from $458,000 last year. The facility also has a pre- ventive maintenance plan in place, which costs more than what other centers do, but Locke believes it saves money in the long run. “One of the things that I’m coming to discover is de- ferred maintenance in a fa- cility like that…you just can’t do it and get away with it for any cost,” he said. “As soon as something breaks, some- thing closes.” Locke said next year the center will pay off a loan for energy efficiently improve- ments that will lower expens- Reconnect with friends of yesteryear!

The purpose of the pres- entation wasn’t to offer solu- tions just yet, but Locke hint- ed at a couple of areas that the city could look at. He said rate structures ad- justments for annual mem- berships boosted the number of members, but may not have been the most cost effec- tive. He added there might be areas were use rates at the center could be improved.
