Resident says Primrose District still lacks promised fire service after 10 years
Summary
Patsy Williams testified during public comment that the Primrose (Great Lakes) area has grown but still lacks a promised fire station despite a 2016 bond; she urged the board to investigate land availability and consider citizen assistance.
At the public comment portion of the July 28 meeting, resident Patsy Williams told commissioners she and neighbors in the Primrose/Great Lakes area have lived through a house fire and remain without a promised local fire department. Williams said the county approved a fiber/bond-related promise in 2016 that she believes included fire stations, but the district still has no station despite growth and new homes.
Williams identified herself and offered to help find or solicit donated or low-cost land for a station, saying she knows people in the area who could donate or sell property. She said she has been a taxpayer for 46 years and is frustrated the promise has not resulted in local fire coverage. Her comments closed with an appeal to the board to “find out what's going on” and a plea for transparency and follow-up.
The remarks were delivered during the public comment period; no immediate board action was taken during that segment, and staff or commissioners acknowledged the concern and noted it for follow-up.
