FIRE LEVY LID LIFT
"I want to thank everyone who participated in the November general election. We are disappointed with the results, but we respect the decision of the voters. We will continue to provide the highest level of service within our budget. The next step is for staff to meet with the Board of Fire Commissioners to discuss how we plan to move forward. We welcome your participation in these discussions and will continue to report back to you."
Thank you, Fire Chief Mike Harris
