May 6th 2009- For the first time in the City's
history a fire levy DID NOT pass.
We would like to thank the voters for renewing the 0.6 mil levy that has
been around for many years. We were disappointed that the 1.0 renewal
with 0.5 mil added failed as that is what would allow us to continue
moving forward replacing the aging fleet. If you have any questions
about ANY levies please stop by or call the fire station. |
