Support Fox River fire district vote

Posted February 07, 2014 1:01 am

At the special community meeting held March 11, River Bend Community Group of St. Charles Township voted to endorse the referendum being put forth by Fox River and Countryside Fire/Rescue District to increase property taxes to support the district.

We feel that the requested increase is justified and needed to keep the valuable personnel we currently have in the district and maintain the equipment and facilities needed to support the requests by the community for ambulance and fire protection.

If approved, the increased amount will still put FRC at a much lower rate than surrounding fire districts. We feel the current board of trustees and management personnel of FRC are acting in a responsible manner with their assignment of watching over the assets and monies of the taxpayers. We trust they will continue to be responsible in the future to support the needs of our community.

Passage of the referendum is endorsed.
