Important November 7th vote for Lake Stevens Fire - EMS Levy
Emergency medical service accounts for 76% of all calls responded to by the Lake Steven Fore Department, and that number is growing. EMS calls have increased 35% alone over the past six years, as have costs for medical supplies, equipment, maintenance, and emergency personnel.
Lake Stevens Fire is asking voters to return the EMS levy to 50 cents per $1,000 of assessed property value during the November election. The 18 cent levy lid lift would cost the owner of a $300,000 home an additional $54 per year ($4.50 per month). This lid lift would continue to fund Basic and Advanced Life Support with 14 Firefighters and Paramedics responding 24 hours a day.
Please consider all the facts as you cast your vote in the upcoming election.
