The fire levy: it is still NO! You have basically the same folks presenting this Levy. The world will not end if we wait for newly elected commissioners and possibly a new chief to put together some new ideas. The new commissioners are going to have to answer two basic questions: Are we still a voluntary Fire Department or are we turning into a paid department? I believe all our rolling stock is housed under cover. This should extend the life of our equipment, age should not be a major consideration, mileage and condition are more important. Please let new eyes and thoughts decide what kind of Levy we need in 2024.
