MEASURE NO. 24-99

The Gates Rural Fire Protection District is asking voters to approve a four year local option tax in the amount of $.9033 per $1,000 of valuation. This is actually a request for a four year extension or continuation of a local option tax voters approved in November of 1998. It would take effect July 1, 2003, and end June 30, 2007. With the continuation of this option tax, the district will be able to continue to provide quality service in fire
protection and emergency medical/rescue operations. By maintaining a high quality department, patrons will continue to receive a better insurance rating, thereby reducing insurance costs to district businesses and households.
