Monroe Township given permission to continue debt levy for two replacement fire trucks

Morgan County Council · August 19, 2026

Summary

Monroe Township Fire District asked the council to allow continuation of its debt levy to buy two apparatuses; officials said the levy increase would be roughly $9 per year and the ordered trucks should arrive in January.

Monroe Township Fire District representatives told the council they need permission to continue the district’s debt levy to fund purchase of two new apparatuses — a tanker and a grass rig replacement. The presenter said the district ordered the vehicles three years ago and expects delivery in January. "They won't be in until January," the representative said.

Council members asked whether recent state tax/levy changes (SCA1) would prevent the district from proceeding; the presenter said the district's levy impact is small — roughly a $9 annual increase per taxpayer — and the request was approved by a voice vote. The council recorded no detailed dollar-per-household tallies in the meeting minutes.
