In early June the Fall City Fire Department – King County Fire District No. 27 – announced it would be putting a measure requesting voter approval of an excess levy on the November 3rd general election ballot. Fire District Board of Commissioners voted unanimously to adopt Resolution 2020-01, requesting that King County Elections submit a Maintenance & Operations (M&O) levy to Fall City voters – who last year rejected a ballot measure to merge the district with Fire District 10 and make the Fall City Fire Department part of Eastside Fire & Rescue. According to the Fire District 27, the purpose of the levy is to maintain the current level of fire protection and emergency medical services. This proposed M&O levy replaces an existing levy which expires this year. It would would be collected in 2021-2024.
