Carbon County Commissioners take step to address EMS funding in Carbon County
March 7, 2024
The Carbon County Commissioners heard and approved a resolution to place a referendum on the June 4, 2024 Primary Ballot so that voters can consider imposing an 18 mil County- wide levy to fund the provision of both emergency-and non-emergency ambulance response; emergency medical services; and other emergency services beneficial to the Citizens of Carbon County.
You can read the Carbon County Commissioners Resolution here
Proposed Ballot Language
Shall the voters authorize the Commission of Carbon County, Montana to impose a new mill levy of 18 mills or approximately $1,190,068 to fund the provision of both emergency-and non-emergency ambulance response; emergency medical services; and other emergency services beneficial to the Citizens of Carbon County. Funds may be used for sustaining current EMS services, compensating EMS Volunteers for their hours of service, hiring EMS providers, and funding training, equipment, and other operational costs. This levy would be permanent.
Fiscal impact of 18 mils on a home valued at;
$100,000 would be approximately $2.03 per month
$200,000 would be approximately $4.05 per month
$300,000 would be approximately $6.09 per month
$600,000 would be approximately $12.18 per month
Please note, an increase in property taxes may lead to an increase in rental costs.
YES - FOR AUTHORIZING A LEVY OF 18 MILS FOR EMS SERVICES
NO - AGAINST AUTHORIZING A LEVY OF 18 MILS FOR EMS SERVICES
