Chief Amy Stafford and county staff outlined that the East Fire MSBU currently charges a readiness rate of $49.03 and a per-dwelling (single-family) demand of $76.17 for a current combined amount of $125.20 per homeowner. Stafford said preliminary county-side budgeting would leave a roughly $627,125 deficit for the East if rates are not adjusted.
