Do I understand correctly ambulances will replace the existing Villages EMT vehicles and use existing staff? |

From what I understand they will be eliminating the quick response units (pickup trucks) we called them aid cars, and replacing them with the ambulances. They are already paramedic staffed as are the engines so other than apparatus familiarization it should be a pretty seamless transition. I’m not sure what the situation is with the county as far as manpower and training.

The fire department staffers calculated the new fire assessment fee. Based on the results of this analysis, she determined that Instead of paying $124.00, they will be paying $516.00. Your fee will be different from others because all properties ARE NOT being assessed the same fee. The fee will be based on the MARKET VALUE of your house. A home in your neighborhood may be paying more than you or less than you, even though you will be receiving the SAME SERVICES. If your house burns, or another house burns, both will still get the same number of responders and fire trucks no matter how much of a fee has been paid.
There is no cap on the residential fees that will be charged, and they can increase yearly. There is a cap on commercial properties … Guess who that benefits? There ARE NO NEW SERVICES if the referendum passes! I am very concerned, and do not like the thought of paying this added tax on top of all the other taxes we already pay…......and based on MARKET value!! Ambulances have been purchased and are ready to go October 1, 2022 and will be staffed with paramedics from the fire dept. If the referendum is VOTED DOWN, the county continues to fund the fire dept. (FUNDING HAS NEVER BEEN DENIED BY THE COUNTY) and we continue to receive all the services we have been getting. The referendum, if passed, would set up a NEW TAXING DISTRICT controlled by The Villages for the first 3–5 years before we can start electing villagers of our choice. If the referendum is passed, it CANNOT be reversed or undone. It will be here to stay! Please vote NO on this referendum on November 8th. OUR NEW ambulance service and existing fire department will not change if you vote NO! Please forward to fellow villagers . . . . . . |

Again. Are you an elected official? A board member of one of the homeowners groups or just a concerned citizen? Just trying to determine your motivation in this whole thing. You seem to be more vested than most.

Did you forget that the county commissioners who put AMR in were backed by the developer.
What the developer wants, the developer gets, one way or another. Even when the people voted in the 3 county commissioners, who won that battle in the end ? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ZYG2PCyNfE |
