🚒 FACT FRIDAY 🚒
Why can’t we just use our current budget?
Timber Mesa’s operating budget supports the services our community relies on every day, including:
🔥 Emergency response and apparatus
🔥 Firefighters, paramedics, and emergency medical services
🔥 Essential equipment and training
🔥 Daily station operations/maintenance
But what about major station renovations, facility replacements, and large equipment purchases? These are capital expenses, and they’re significantly different from the costs of everyday operations.
The District has identified approximately $25 million in capital needs that cannot be covered by the current operating budget without impacting existing emergency services.
That’s why Proposition 455 will appear on the November 3 ballot, giving voters the opportunity to decide whether to authorize bond funding for these improvements.
Our goal is to provide the facts so our community can make an informed decision.
