Westside Fire Seeks Levy Renewal

The Westside Fire District in Hood River County is seeking a renewal of its five-year operating levy during the November 5 election.  The District has a base tax rate of 78 cents per one-thousand dollars of assessed property value, and in 2014 voters approved the 50 cent operating levy.  District board member John Beeman says the levy covers day-to-day operating expenses.  District officials say the cost of providing fire and emergency medical services goes up at a rate of about five percent per year, and emergency calls and services have tripled in the last ten years with community growth.
