SALEM TOWNSHIP Winona Fire Chief George Brantingham is questioning whether the township paid all that was owed to his department for services last year.
“We seem to have a discrepancy on what was paid to us last year,” he said.
Brantingham spoke to trustees about the issue at Tuesday night’s meeting, saying the amount the Columbiana County Auditor’s Office told him didn’t match with what the township paid, alleging a shortage of $3,000.
Trustees referred him to Fiscal Officer Dale Davis, who said he’ll look into it.
After the meeting, Davis said the contract with the Winona Fire Department calls for the township to pay $15,000 after the first tax settlement, then $15,000 after the second tax settlement, then the balance of what’s left in the fund Dec. 31. Davis said the township paid $33,265 for last year, but Brantingham is claiming the amount should have been $36,266.
