• Vote No and Ask Others to Do the Same Ballot Issue 7F is a permanent property tax increase with no sunset, a full TABOR waiver, and broad authorized uses. It is being sought after a prior permanent increase was sold on a projected Station 5 timeline that has slipped by more than a decade, while the district holds about $25.4 million in cash and advances a multi-million-dollar training facility as a priority. They have already shown they will not spend the money the way they said they would. Res

• Existing Resources Cover Near-Term Needs The combination of prior permanent mill-levy revenue, current cash reserves of roughly $25.4 million, positive annual net income, competitive pay already in place, and an active training-facility project means the district has capacity to address staffing, equipment, and capital priorities without a new permanent tax increase. Legislative changes and growth pressures exist across Colorado. They do not erase the specific financial position of this distric

• The Same Pattern Is Repeating In 2019 the district used the projected need for Station 5 to help pass a permanent mill levy. The station was never built on the timeline presented, and the ballot language did not require that it be built. The district kept the money. It now holds about $25.4 million in cash, runs competitive salaries, generates positive net income, and is advancing a separate training facility while asking for another permanent increase that again includes a projected station.

• The Money Is for a Training Facility Separately from the ballot measure, the district has purchased land and issued RFPs for a dedicated training facility estimated at $6.5 to 7.5 million. The board has listed beginning design and construction of this facility as a priority. This concurrent capital project is advancing while the district seeks a permanent tax increase of up to $44.3 million per year by 2034. The 7F language is broad enough to cover personnel, apparatus, services, and a fifth st

• Staffing Plans and Competitive Pay Do Not Require Another Permanent Levy The district currently runs a minimum of three firefighters on first-due engines. NFPA 1710 recommends four. Its own 10-year assessment calls for adding 27 operational firefighters and 6 administrative positions to reach four-person staffing and support future expansion. Lateral firefighter/EMT pay ranges from $84,565 to $105,706 plus a $5,000 hiring bonus, placing the district at the high end of Northern Colorado scales.

• The 2019 Language Never Required Station 5 to Be Built Nothing in the 2019 mill-levy measure forced the district to construct Station 5 on any particular schedule or with any particular portion of the revenue. The station was listed as an allowed use, not a mandated project with restricted funds. The district built Station 4, retained the permanent revenue, and has now projected Station 5 for 2035. There is no legal barrier preventing the district from seeking a future, more limited measure spe
