EMS measure likely to be on ballot
By Gordon Weeks
gordon@masoncounty. com
The Shelton City Council
will vote Tuesday on placing
an emergency medical services
replacement levy on the Aug. 9
ballot.
The council unanimously
gave preliminary approval at
its April 5 meeting.
If passed, the replacement
levy would collect 50 cents per
$1,000 of assessed property
value '
No one from the public
spoke about the proposal at the
April 5 meeting. ‘
Shelton voters approved
similar levies for EMS in 1998,
2004, 2010 and 2016, City
Manager Jefl' Niten told the
council members.
The levy generates about
$350,000 per year. Without the
levy money, the city will have
to pay for emergency services
out of its general fund.
The current six-year levy
expires at the end of the year.
Niten reminded council
members that the city can pro-
vide “accurate and factual” in-
formation about the levy, but
cannot advocate for its passage
because it is a ballot measure.
