Voters to Decide on Tax to Benefit the Leadwood Fire Department

Posted: Mar 3, 2016

Voters to Decide on Tax to Benefit the Leadwood Fire Department

The Leadwood Fire Protection District is proposing a three-year graduated tax initiative that would produce an estimated total of $38,725 for the district over the three-year period. The estimate is based on 2015 property tax assessment valuations.

In addition, the average cost of firefighting gear and equipment has increased between three and five percent every year.The purpose of the graduated tax increase would be to fund some much-needed maintenance and replacement of firefighting equipment, new gear, equipment safety testing, training and other aspects of maintaining the services received by citizens of the district.

If passed, the tax would be for the fire protection district only. No other city, district or county agency would receive any of the tax money.

In addition, the tax initiative will not be used to fund a paid firefighter. Fire Chief Kevin Lewis said that the Leadwood Fire Department will remain a 100 percent voluntary force.
