2026 Ballot Measure 2A Fire and Technology

Ballot Measure Facts

What expenses could be approved if the ballot measure passes?
This means there will be a dedicated source of revenue for the Pueblo Fire Department and its future technology needs. The money in the fund will be able to be used to replace equipment that has reached the end of its useful life. The fund can replace outdated technology or obtain new technology in the fire stations or on fire trucks/vehicles for public safety outreach. This fund can be used to keep communication capabilities up-to-date and update medical equipment as needed.

Note that there is already a Public Safety Sales Tax (PSST) designated for the Pueblo Police Department. The current tax ballot question is a separate initiative and a separate tax specifically for the Fire Department and Technology Related Public Safety Purposes.
