Board levies $12 emergency medical services special tax for FY 2025–26
Summary
The Board voted to adopt the EMS special tax at $12 per service unit for fiscal year 2025–26; supervisors also asked staff to explore whether an increase could be appropriate in future years.
The Monterey County Board of Supervisors adopted a resolution levying the emergency medical services system special tax for fiscal year 2025–26 at a rate of $12 per service unit on June 17.
The item was presented as a consent-level action. A supervisor asked staff to explore options for raising the rate in the future if needed; the board adopted the resolution and the motion carried by voice vote.
Why it matters: The special tax funds local emergency medical services system operations and preparedness; maintaining the established $12 per service-unit rate preserves the funding structure for FY 2025–26.
Ending: The board approved the tax levy; staff will coordinate implementation and report back if the board requests future changes to the rate.
