The large majority of voters in northern Clark County’s Fire District 10 approved a property tax levy increase for the district, one that will go toward paying for new staff to ensure there’s around-the-clock coverage for the largely all-volunteer district.
The increase received 1,304 votes in favor and 329 against, according to unofficial results released from the Clark County auditor’s office Tuesday night, or 77 percent to 23 percent.
The district had the only item on Tuesday’s ballot, a property tax levy increase from 68 cents to $1 per $1,000 of assessed property value, all to pay for additional staffing.
Tuesday evening, district staff were seeing majority votes from all but one precinct, Battalion Chief Gordon Brooks said.
