Commissioners deny additional levy authority requests for Big Springs and Chappell fire districts
Summary
Deuel County Commissioners voted to deny requests from Big Springs Rural Fire District #2 and Chappell Rural Fire District #1 for added levy authority, citing county levy lid constraints that would otherwise reduce those districts' approved tax requests.
The Deuel County Board of Commissioners voted on July 21 to deny requests from Big Springs Rural Fire District #2 and Chappell Rural Fire District #1 for additional levy allocation under the county budget authority. Commissioners cited the county’s levy lid constraints and the districts’ prior election-approved tax requests as reasons the county could not increase the portion of county-apportioned levy authority without reducing the districts’ tax requests.
A motion to deny Big Springs Fire District #2's request was made by Commissioner Reichman and seconded by Commissioner Klingman and passed unanimously. The board then took the same action to deny Chappell Rural Fire District #1's request; Klingman moved, Reichman seconded, and the motion passed with all three commissioners voting aye.
