Board Approves Two-Year $4.5 Million Temporary Levy Proposal

2025 Board of Fire Commissioner Meeting:

Announcements:

August 30, 2024 – The District will be hosting a Town Hall Meeting to provide information to the public on a proposed tax levy override on the November 5 election ballot. ​​

WHEN:    Tues., September 10th, 2024

WHERE:  Station 1, 125 W. Hayden Ave.

TIME:       6:00 – 8:00 p.m.

The District is proposing a levy increase to retain 12 firefighter positions funded by a SAFER Grant that will expire in March 2026. The levy increase aims to maintain staffing levels, meet training and response requirements, and prevent potential increases to homeowners’ insurance premiums. 

​​The levy increase will add additional firefighters for a fourth staffed station and additional administrative/support staff.

​The proposed override levy is temporary, lasting for two years, and would annually cost a taxpayer $31.02 per $100,000 of taxable assessed value based on current conditions.

The Board of Commissioners’ next meeting is scheduled for:
