General Election Summary Report
In 2017 voters of the Village overwhelmingly approved a referendum for $250,000 for 24/7 EMS service. In 2019 the Village began providing paramedic level service. Since that time, the cost of equipment and labor have greatly increased. We have heard from residents on the importance of providing paramedic level service to the property owners in Fontana and we want to be able to continue providing the service; however, in order to do so we need to have the appropriate funding.
On the November 8, 2022 General Election ballot you will find a referendum question on the back side of the ballot that asks the following question:
“Under state law, the increase in the levy of the Village of Fontana for the tax to be imposed for the next fiscal year, 2023, is limited to .999%, which results in a levy of $4,196,047. Shall the Village of Fontana be allowed to exceed this limit and increase the levy for the next fiscal year, 2023, for the purpose of providing the Village with 24-hour emergency medical services, by a total of 16.160% which results in a levy of $4,874,124, and on an ongoing basis, include the increase of $678,077 for each fiscal year going forward?”
