Residential and commercial growth will significantly impact the budget in the future by increasing the demand for emergency services.

 

As the community expands, the need for updated facilities and equipment becomes more critical to ensure effective emergency response.

​

When Proposition F is approved, it will provide the necessary funding to maintain and enhance our services, helping to manage the increased call volume and service demands that come with growth.

 

Without this funding, the District may face financial strain, which could lead to future tax levies to cover operational costs and capital improvements.

 

Supporting Proposition F now can help mitigate these budgetary challenges as our community continues to develop.

​

Residential and commercial growth will positively impact the budget for the District by providing additional revenue from new construction.

However, it's important to note that this additional revenue and reassessment increases—limited by state law to the lesser of five percent or the CPI—do not affect the District’s debt service tax rate.

​

The debt service rate, which funds the purchase of new trucks and equipment and the maintenance or construction of new fire stations, can only be increased or extended through voter approval.

 

Therefore, while growth supports overall operational revenue, the funding for critical improvements, like those outlined in Proposition F, relies on community support through the ballot.
