A. Improved Single Family Real Property - $80.00 per parcel, per year. B. Improved Multi Family, Improved Commercial and Improved Industrial Real Properties - $80.00 per parcel, per year C. Unimproved Real Property - $80.00 per parcel, per year.

The annual parcel assessment fee is $35.00 per parcel per year voted for in 1987. This fee has enabled your fire district to upgrade your fire and first responder services. The scheduling at this time provides 10 or 12 hours day coverage 7 days a week. Off duty hours are covered by volunteers and paid personnel from their homes.

Our community continues to grow and so does the demand for emergency services. In order to meet this demand the district needs to provide on duty personnel 24 hours a day 7 days a week.

To ensure that our community is receiving the kind of services necessary to keep them safe and secure there has to be a cost. Within the existing budget this expanded coverage would over extend the current fiscal boundaries. The District has explored all options available and must turn to the people they serve.

The suggested $45.00 increase will not completely allow for the additional personnel necessary, the balance must come from our existing budget. Having trained professionals on duty 24 hours a day 7 days a week will give you an immediate response to your emergency.

We are asking you to vote in favor of Measure E. The value of these services far exceeds the additional cost.
