Expect a $ 200 yearly increase for fire and ambulance and am ok with it but all parties covered should be paying for it.

You would have to look at the tax bill to see what the increase was for a business. Some would have been small(ish) and others not so small.
A $500 fire fee for everyone would have come close to collecting the same money. However, with all the citizens that complained about a $200 increase, is there any reason to believe a $375 increase will be palatable?
