For Fiscal Year 2004 a calculation was made to determine the increase that the New Castle County Volunteer Fire Companies received for the insurance premium tax in Calendar Year 2001 versus Calendar Year 2000. That amount was added to the base allocation to each Volunteer Fire Company in Kent and Sussex Counties. (The base represents $22,401 included in the Fiscal Year 1999 Grant-in-Aid Appropriation Bill.) For each subsequent fiscal year, a similar calculation will be made and if there is an increase from one fiscal year to the next fiscal year, that amount will be added to the $22,401 base to become the amount to be paid for that fiscal year. At no time will the amount for Kent and Sussex Volunteer Fire Companies be less than the base amount of $22,401.
