Lake Ozark FPD Levy Would Fund Staff, Vehicles, Equipment

For the first time since the Lake Ozark Fire District’s ambulance service started up in 2001, district patrons will be asked to approve a tax levy increase. Chief Mark Amsinger says passage of the levy question, an increase of 30-cents per assessed valuation, will mainly go to make sure the district is adequately staffed and equipped…

 

Passage of the measure would also go toward replacing aging equipment and hiring personnel. If approved, based on a $200-thousand assessed valuation, it would cost district patrons about $114.00 more per year. The August ballot is set for Tuesday, the 7^th.
