Excerpts from the DailyHerald.com:
Talks could resume this week between Mount Prospect and the Elk Grove Rural Fire Protection District to resolve an impasse over fire and emergency medical service within the district’s service area.
Under a proposed agreement recently approved by Mount Prospect trustees, Mount Prospect, Elk Grove Village, and Des Plaines would take over the duties of the fire district, which would dissolve and yield its fire station and equipment. Three new special taxing districts would provide the funding for the municipalities.
Mount Prospect officials say the fire district is running a structural deficit because of a shrinking tax base stemming from annexations, but the fire district has not signed off on the agreement. District officials take issue with the legality of the proposed dissolution, as well as the village’s cost-benefit analysis.
“We don’t believe at this moment that the (agreement) is fair enough to our constituents,” fire district board president Carlos Maldonado said. “However, we want to make sure that we can negotiate something, not just with Mount Prospect, but with the municipalities together.”
A fire protection district trustee accused Mount Prospect of trying to shove an agreement down the district’s throat that is going to take full advantage of them, and said that Mount Prospect still owes the fire district more than $260,000 from a previous agreement.
When asked about the money last week, the Mount Prospect village manager responded, “Why would we pay them, if we’re about to take over those services?”

Excerpts from the City of Evanston:
We’re excited to announce that Northwestern University has provided an $800,000 donation to fund the purchase of a new fire engine! The university’s donation will cover the entire cost of a 2022 Pierce Enforcer pumper and the equipment to outfit the vehicle, including hose, tools, a cardiac monitor, self-contained breathing apparatus, and radios. On December 13, the Evanston City Council approved the purchase of the vehicle which is expected to be delivered in late 2022.In 2009, the University donated $550,000 to the city for the purchase of a new pumper which is still in service.
