What will I be getting with the annual increase?
The Villages Public Safety Department
heard from the thousands of residents that they wanted better services and response times than they were receiving from the current transport and service provider.
This budget was created to include the revenues and expenditures to provide those comprehensive services, consistent to the higher level of services that residents of The Villages expect in all areas of their lifestyle. Most notably, the increased expenses account for the assumption of ambulance and transport services,
as well as funding to support future fire stations, apparatus and personnel to maintain a constant state of readiness in this ever-growing community."
At the moment, this is the position of District staff as presented on the districtgov.org website.
