Publish the departments financial for the last 2 years.
And creating longer response times by having to pull ambulances from those resources because they too may not even be available. Which would mean the department would have to pull even farther. I fail to understand why the department has to fight so hard for this. These services are priceless.
What will this proposed tax cost me? We understand no one likes taxes. However, in matters of public safety, we'll hope you'll make an exception.
Did you know for our current call volume, we tax considerably less than our peers? Our projected tax income for 2024 was $921,117. Cherry Valley Fire Protection District runs about the same call volume we do at a 2024 projected tax income of $3.4 million. Rockton Fire (with less calls) anticipated $1.96 million. (These figures do not include bond revenues, which fund large capital projects, are taxes that expire and do not fund our operations.)
We operate lean, but dollars can only be stretched so far.

Ill be there for you! You have my vote!
Good luck to yall. Everyone wants top notch life-saving care, but many don’t want to pay for it. Starbucks is more important…
But you are already getting taxes that are a percentage, so your money rises and falls with the taxpayers, but you want a bigger piece of their pie?
