Providing a Full Range of Services

What is on your August 2025 Ballot? Did we not just vote on this?
Due to a filing error by Spokane County Fire District 8’s legal counsel, the EMS Levy originally submitted for the April 2025 Special Election was not processed in accordance with the State of Washington Elections requirements. As a result, the Board of Fire Commissioners has voted to resubmit the EMS Levy for consideration during the August 2025 Primary Election.
It is important to note that language allowing for annual adjustments based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI) can only be included on ballots during the August Primary or November General Elections. This provision is critical to ensure the EMS Levy keeps pace with inflation and continues to meet the emergency medical service needs of our community.
In April, voters overwhelmingly approved the EMS Levy, underscoring strong community support for maintaining high-quality emergency medical services. The need for this funding remains unchanged, and the District is committed to providing transparent and accurate information to our citizens.
