Urania’s fire rating increases

The Town of Urania now has an overall fire rating of six after the recent PIAL (Property Insurance Association of Louisiana) inspection of the town’s fire department, though those in the district not within seven road miles from a fire station and within 1,000 feet from a hydrant will remain at their current rating of nine.

The town’s previous intown rating was a five with a nine being out-of-town; however, the PIAL inspection has changed to issuing one overall rating for a town with the exception of the above mentioned requirements. The rating scale is from 1 to 10 with lower being better.

Mayor Terri Corley said Fire Chief William Strain and Secretary Stacie Strain had a meeting with those from PIAL last week regarding the fire rating and were informed the town’s rate increase is a result of the low number of members who have the required amount of training as well as issues with water pressure, which is being addressed.

Employees of the LaSalle Parish School System will be pleasantly surprised when they receive their June pay checks which will contain the largest sales tax supplement payment ever. The payments were approved by the LaSalle School Board during its regular June meeting on Monday of last week.

CPA Debbie Finlay, business manager for the school board, said increased sales tax collections during the past year allowed the board to pay the highest supplement ever.

Degreed personnel (position requires a degree) will see an additional $6,541.41 in their June check, and non-degree personnel will receive an extra $4,578.91 payment. This compares to $4,424.83 and $3,097.33, respectively, paid a year ago.
