RESOLUTION IN SUPPORT OF THE PROPOSED MILL LEVY INCREASE FOR SOUTH ADAMS COUNTY FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT NO. 4 ON THE NOVEMBER 5, 2013 ELECTION BALLOT
Body
Summary and Background Information:
The South Adams County Fire Protection District has adopted a ballot issue for the November 5, 2013 election which places a proposed property tax increase to a vote of the electors. The proposal is for a mill levy increase at the rate of 5.6 mills to provide revenues for the District's operation and maintenance costs required for fire protection services.
South Adams County Fire Protection District has one of the lowest fire protection district mill levies in the Denver metropolitan area. The proposed mill levy increase of 5.6 mills will generate revenues required for funding the District's operation and maintenance costs necessary for providing fire protection services by the District. If passed, the mill levy will allow hiring needed additional firefighters, improving emergency response times, enhancing firefighter training and safety, funding replacement fire trucks and equipment and updating aging fire stations.
