The Klickitat County Emergency Medical Services District 1 is seeking a renewal of its six-year property tax levy on the November ballot. The levy would not exceed 50 cents per thousand dollars of assessed property value, the same as it has been for the last six years. Just over a decade ago the district was established as hospitals in the County divested themselves of ambulance services. The district’s Chief of EMS Operations, Will Harryman, says while they take in revenue from ambulance services, the levy allows them to maintain their current service levels. Harryman adds the levy has allowed the district to put money aside for vehicle and equipment replacement in the future.
