The ballot on the February 16 Fire District 3 Election contains 2 Public Questions.
The first Public Question will be the approval of Fire District 3’s 2008 budget. Fire District 3’s 2008 budget has been
carefully assembled by Fire District 3’s Board of Fire Commissioners and contains only those funds necessary to
provide for the same excellent level of fire and emergency protection in 2008 heretofore experienced by Fire District 3’
s residents and preparations to continue that level of fire and emergency protection in future years.
This first Public Question reads as follows: “Should the budget for calendar year 2008 in the amount of $ 4,787,882,
of which $3,822,658 is to be raised by taxation be approved?”
The second Public Question will be the approval of the year 2009 procurement of a new fire engine to replace Fire
District 3’s oldest fire engine which was initially procured in 1986. By early 2010 when the new fire engine is delivered
this 1986 fire engine will be 24 years old and will have reached the end of its viable lifetime. This acquisition of a new
fire engine is critical to the continuance of Fire District 3’s excellent level of fire and emergency protection provided to
Fire District 3’s residents.
This second Public Question reads as follows: “Shall Monroe Fire District # 3 be permitted in Fiscal Year 2009 to
purchase a new fire engine to replace its 1986 fire engine for an amount not to exceed $600,000, $250,000 of which
shall come from its current Capital Acquisition Reserve Account, to meet the needs of the residents of Monroe
Township Fire District 3?”
As stated in the Public Question the fire engine procurement will occur in 2009 and $250,000 already present in the
Fire District’s Capital Acquisition Reserve Account will be used as the initial payment for the new fire engine. Careful
financial management by the Board of Fire Commissioners has maintained the Capitol Acquisition and Facilities
Improvement Reserve Accounts necessary for the Fire District to continue the excellent level of fire and emergency
protection experienced by Fire District 3’s residents.
Fire District 3’s Board of Fire Commissioners recommends approval of both Public Questions.
Voters are encouraged to approve the 2008 budget and the procurement of the new fire engine in
order to maintain the high level of fire protection afforded to residents of Monroe Township’s Fire
District 3.
