Not really, just read the notice. You may comment at the meeting but must also submit an appeal in writing within 20 days. Also, read the last paragraph---unless there is litigation filed within 30 days, the assessment will go into effect.
The vote occurred last November, and the majority of voters rejected the formation of an independent Villages fire district. If memory serves, for some unknown reason, a vocal group encouraged a no vote claiming it would financially benefit "the developer", who had nothing to do with it. But the emotional argument prevailed at the voting booth. So now you have the cost increase you would have had anyway, but it is now under County, not Village control.
