Credit card debate continues in Paradise By
Julie Ann Grosshans PARADISE -- The credit card problems for the town's fire department may have improved but they are far from over. Although the firefighters are becoming more adjusted to turning in their receipts in a timely fashion, there is still concern about being charged an inactive fee. The department currently has three separate accounts including one with Wells Fargo. Councilwoman Karen Rinderknect, who is a Wells Fargo employee, said each card must be used a minimum of 12 times. Firefighter Troy Fredrickson believes the department simply doesn't have the need to use a card that much. "Don't take this personally Karen, but there are other credit cards without fees," he said. "Our money is hard enough to come by, you know that as a town." The mood became a little lighter as Fredrickson as the council discussed a possible way to explain to the bank why there was a need for three cards. The simple answer: the three firefighters with cards are married. "Hey, it's Utah," Fredrickson replied. Mayor Lee Atwood said the bottom line is that if the bank won't work with the town it will find another place that suits its financial needs. In other town business, it was announced that there would be a public hearing Dec. 5 to discuss the annexation plan. The council, as well as the planning and zoning committee, is not expecting a large crowd. "Most people don't know about the plan or they just don't care," Atwood said. It will be the second annexation hearing the town has had.
