Mark Ma, who identified himself as a representative of the emergency services taxing district for Progresso and Progresso Lakes, warned the board that county subsidies for rural fire protection will end by 2030 and urged the community to support a ballot referendum to raise the district rate to the state cap of $0.10 per $100 valuation so fire and EMS service will continue. He said failure to pass the referendum could leave the area without fire or EMS coverage and affect insurance and mortgage availability. He asked trustees to help get the word out about the May 3 election.
