CCFPD seeking $4.5 million in bondsDistrict aims to renovate stations, increase brush truck fleetBy Kyle Troutman [email protected]The Central Crossing Fire Protection District is seeking approval of a $4.5 million bond issue on Aug. 4, aiming to renovate two stations, add to its fleet of brush trucks, purchase new equipment and pay off leases. “We could be asking for somewhere in the neighborhood of $21 million on this bond,” Rickard said. “We’re not asking for $21 million,” Rickard said. Approval would come with a property tax increase of 23 cents on every $100 of assessed valuation. “Our goal has been to be 100% upfront with the voters and the taxpayers of the district,” Rickard said.
