This is unaccountable taxation . What is wrong with current system Property tax Levies for construction and operational costs ,administration and Fire trucks etc sent to voters to approve or disapprove ? It sounds like a scam especially the privately owned proprietary software for figuring tax rates for different property? The group ( 6 unnamed city council members ) hatching this RFD fee rate schedule had better explain why this software is secret number one and why this is a better way to conduct fire protection services and why it's in the public interest ? Also Medic One already has separate Property tax levy vote which always passes and seems to functioning well ,what is wrong with the current system ? Jim Lazar has identified another problem,its another regressive tax on home owners of smaller modest homes on fixed income and social security ,this really stinks . Jim Lazar Quote "Second, it's a reverse-Robin Hood structure. Smaller homes pay a higher fee per square foot that larger, as opposed to a property tax that changes with the value (and size is a determinant of value). Smaller business pay a higher fee per square foot than larger businesses. This is the "square root" element, something I've never seen in any sort of tax or fee calculation. It's clearly designed to make passage easier, because the rich people in big homes are more likely to donate to a campaign to defeat passage of the RFA. " as Bob Jacobs says this not ready for a vote ,we need transparency not more consultants with expensive software hiding true costs until the wool has been pulled over everyone's eyes !
