As part of the ordinance, each fire department is to prepare a report each year for the Knox County Fiscal Court\u2019s review. Each \u201cshall provide a detailed Fire Department audited accounting report,\u201d showing \u201call deposits made, including the source of each deposit,\u201d reads the ordinance. These reports were due July 31. As of press time, only West Knox and Richland Fire Departments have turned in their reports to the Fiscal Court. Currently, there are no known reprimands for fire departments that do not submit the annual report. When asked what the Fiscal Court will do concerning the fire departments that have not submitted their reports, Judge-Executive J.M. Hall said, \u201cThat will be something that me and the county attorney discuss\u2026the Fiscal Court will have to just sit down. Right now, if you look at a copy of our fire fee, it doesn\u2019t specify what happens if they don\u2019t turn them in.\u201d Hall further elaborated that a couple fire departments have said their reports are done, they just haven\u2019t made it to the courthouse to turn them in. \u201cWe\u2019re going to give them a call, get this in and look at what the possibilities are. In order to change it, it would have to be an ordinance amendment. I\u2019ll talk to the Fiscal Court members and see what they want to do,\u201d continued Hall, who said he hopes to accomplish all of this within the next month."}
