Fire Truck Levy

“Fire Truck Levy”

To Glasgow Residents,

The proposed city resolution to create a special improvement district to fund a portion of a used fire truck has raised the question of how long the levy will be in place.

The intent of this levy is for the yearly payment of $25,601.28, be paid for 15 years, until the amount of $350,000.00 is paid in full. At that time the levy will cease.

If this resolution is passed, property owners will be assessed .0020 per 100 square feet on their property. An example: our family home at 640 6th Ave. North has 9,100 square feet of property, which will be charged at .0020. This equates to $18.20 per year.

The City Council would like to hear your comments and concerns on this issue at the Sept. 8, City Council meeting at 5:30 p.m. at the City Council Chambers.

– Becky Erickson, Mayor
