Council votes to keep fire protection district tax rate at current level
Summary
Facing a county rollback that would lower the district rate to 9 cents, the council voted to request that the multiyear tax base rate remain at the current 10-cent level for the fire protection district, effectively preserving the existing rate for the district.
Staff explained that under the county's action the fire-protection district's rate would roll back to 9 cents, and asked the council to approve a resolution requesting that the multiyear tax base rate remain at the current 10-cent level in the 2026 budget for the district. Council members discussed that this action would keep the rate where it is now rather than allow the rollback to reduce it.
A motion to approve the resolution was made, seconded, and passed by voice vote with the mayor indicating unanimous consent.
The transcript does not record the precise resolution text or financial calculations, only that the action was to keep the rate at 10 cents for the district rather than accept the rollback to 9 cents.
