Municipal emergency services building bond to hit the ballot November 3rd
Le Mars residents will be asked on November 3rd to vote on a bond issue to construct a new Emergency Services Building. If the public measure passes, it would allow the city to enter into a loan agreement and issue general obligation bonds in an amount not to exceed $8 million. The current downtown fire station would later become Station 2. Station 1 would be reborn as the new Municipal Emergency Services building.
Le Mars Fire-Rescue Chief Steve Schwarz broke down the cost-cutting journey of the bond issue, and what a new Municipal Emergency Services building would look like.
Flyers are being distributed with an estimated tax impact chart.
60 percent voter approval is needed for the bond to pass.
