The question on your ballot
To ensure 24/7 response to fires and medical emergencies such as heart attacks, strokes, and car accidents; hire/train firefighters/EMTs; upgrade safety equipment, vehicles/life-saving rescue tools, shall a measure be adopted to enact a $95/year parcel tax for single family homes and specified amounts for multifamily, commercial, agricultural, and industrial parcels, providing approximately $240,000/year until ended by voters; requiring independent oversight; funds used only for Firebaugh Fire Department response?
In plain language
Measure F would create a parcel tax in the City of Firebaugh. A parcel tax is a set yearly tax on each piece of property. A YES vote creates a tax of $95 a year for single-family homes. Other types of property, such as apartments, businesses, farms and industry, would pay set amounts. The money would only pay for Firebaugh Fire Department response. The ballot question says this includes 24/7 response to fires and medical emergencies, hiring and training firefighters and EMTs, and better equipment. There would be independent oversight. The tax lasts until voters end it. A NO vote means the tax is not created.
Fiscal impact
$95 a year for single-family homes, with set amounts for other property types. Raises about $240,000 a year until ended by voters.
