Clark County Fire & Rescue will host two meetings later this month ahead of an Aug. 1 vote for a 9-cent property tax levy increase for district residents.
Should voters agree to the levy increase, the money would go toward replacing aging vehicles and hiring seven to nine firefighters, which district staff said would reduce response times in the 153-square mile district, which serves 40,0000 people in Clark County and Ridgefield, La Center and Woodland.
