TOWN PROPERLY DISSOLVED THE EXISTING FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT AND CREATED TWO NEW FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICTS (CT APP).

The Court of Appeals, in a full-fledged opinion by Judge Rivera, over a dissenting opinion, determined the Town of Champion had properly dissolved the existing fire protection district (FPD) and replaced it with two new FPD’s. The dissent argued the existing FPD had not been properly dissolved, but rather was merely divided:

… [P]etitioners claim that respondent failed to accomplish and complete the dissolution of the Town of Champion Fire Protection District as required by the General Municipal Law. On the facts of this case, we conclude that respondent’s actions are not affected by an error of law because it prepared, approved, and implemented a dissolution plan in compliance with the applicable statutory requirements, and lawfully created two legally distinct fire protection districts to deliver fire protection services to the Town of Champion residents, in accordance with Town Law section 170. Matter of Waite v Town of Champion, 2018 NY Slip Op 04688, CtApp 6-27-18
