Bonds For New Fire Station and Emergency Vehicles
Question:
Shall the Boardman Rural Fire Protection District issue bonds to provide new fire station and emergency vehicles? If the bonds are approved, they will be payable from taxes on property or property ownership that are not subject to the limits of sections 11 and 11b, Article XI of the Oregon Constitution.
Summary:
This measure would authorize up to $8,475,000 million in principal amount of general obligation bonds.
If approved, this measure would finance capital costs, including:
- a new fire station;
- land for the fire station;
- a new structural fire engine; and
- emergency vehicles to replace older vehicles.
The District’s current fire station was built as an all-volunteer facility 50 years ago. The new station would accommodate the District’s 24 hour a day response model, improving response times and allowing the District to meet national standards for emergency medical care and fire service.
The estimated annual tax rate would be $0.24 per $1,000 of assessed value. A property with an assessed value of $100,000 would pay approximately $24. Actual levy rate may differ due to actual interest rates and/or changes in assessed value. Bonds may be issued in separate series; each series would mature within 21 years or less.
If you would like to obtain a copy of the filed SEL 805, contact:
Morrow County Clerk at (541) 676-5601 or mail a request to Morrow County Clerk, P.O. Box 338, Heppner, OR97836-0338.
Bobbi Childers,
Morrow County Clerk,
