A RESOLUTION CALLING FOR AN ELECTION ON A FIVE YEAR LOCAL OPTION
LEVY FOR FIRE AND EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES
WHEREAS, the Dundee Rural Fire Protection District currently receives $0.5580 per $1,000 in tax assessed value which is district’s permanent tax rate.
WHEREAS, staffing levels at the Dundee Fire Department are significantly below other Oregon cities and districts of comparable size.
WHEREAS, population growth has outpaced the Fire Department’s ability to maintain response times that meet national fire and emergency medical service standards, and adequate core services are essential to Dundee’s quality of life.
WHEREAS, $1.00 per $1,000 of assessed value is projected to raise about $265,000 in the first year of the levy and a total of $1,406,000 over 5 years.
WHEREAS, funding would allow the department to increase staffing in order to improve response times to be closer to national fire and emergency medical service standards. The increased funding could also pay for additional needed training and equipment.
