Arguments For Proposition FF Arguments Against Proposition FF
Proposition FF is a legal requirement which sets the maximum amount of money the Fire District can appropriate in any year.
  • Proposition FF does not raise taxes
  • Proposition FF does not cost you one cent.

Proposition FF is on the ballot because the Gann Initiative requires each jurisdiction have a limit on how much they can appropriate. To go above the limit would require a vote of the people.

The limit of $2,500,000 was agreed by the Board of Directors as reasonable given the size of the District, the number of fire stations and personnel we have now, and into the foreseeable future.

Please vote YES on Proposition FF.
