They are trying to segment discussion about one part of the budget instead of it in entirety. The BOCC should be explaining why a $6 million a year increase isn’t enough.

Total revenue for the general fund is projected to DECREASE by $5.5M with the defeat of the restructured fee.
Property tax revenue is projected to increase by $6M and fire assessments are projected to increase by $480K but these are offset by decreases elsewhere.
Fire service transfers decrease as well: $38M transferred in 2022-23 but only $35M budgeted for this year.
