Food For Thought
Staffing Funding – How to pay for the services Community
wants ( Value down 42% over 4 years) vs. Demand
Master Plan Better Communication with Citizens Meet Expectations/Desired Level of Service
Discussion Questions
What do you think of present services? What services do you want in the future? Are there other funding sources that should be explored? Any comment on previous mil levy issue from 2013? As a resident in the rural area of the district, what are your
needs in terms of fire/ambulance services?
What level of risk are you willing to assume in terms of
emergency medical response time & fire protection response time & what are you willing to pay for higher service levels if you are risk adverse?
Discussion Questions, Cont.
If you were to call for an ambulance, what are your
expectations of the personnel responding to the call?
What are your expectations from the fire district
master planning process?
What do you see as the greatest risk exposures where
you live from an ambulance/fire perspective?
What do you think are the top 3 challenges facing the
fire district?
Anything else to say? Where do you get your information?
