Voters in the Menlo Park Fire Protection District will be asked to allow the district to maintain its $25 million appropriations limit at the same level for four more years by voting yes on Measure O.
In 2002, voters raised the appropriations limit from about $15.3 million to $25 million.
A technical measure, Measure O would only maintain the status quo, and wouldn’t result in a tax increase.
Fire district officials estimate that without the extension, the district’s limit would drop to about $19.1 million, which, they say, would “preclude the district from appropriating and spending revenues which it is likely to receive” from tax revenues.
