A third party report on the fire service to Wicomico County has issued ten recommendations to resolve the dispute with the city of Salisbury.
For years the city has said that it should be compensated for its fire department and EMS service to nearby county areas.
Among the ten recommendation one says that Wicomico County should pay the city $288 for each fire call into the suburban areas.
This would be in addition to the grant that the county pays to each fire station.
Mayor Jake Day told WBOC that the county is not paying enough to compensate for city services but that he hopes a deal can be struck within the next few months.
Meanwhile, Wicomico County Executive Bob Culver told the television station that he was reviewing the report and was looking forward to meeting with city leaders.
