Knollwood Fire Department news

Posted on

I just came across this interesting piece on createsend.com: --- Hi everyone, A few days ago, many residents received a letter in their mailbox with the title "Save the Knollwood Fire Department." It got people talking—Is the fire department actually in jeopardy? And will the petition mentioned in the letter make a real difference? At Knollwood Neighbors, our goal is to keep you updated on matters that could impact your community without telling you how to vote or what to support. With that in mind, here’s some context: The letter highlights three key points, all of which are accurate: 1. **Currently, the three trustees of the Rockland Fire Protection District are appointed by the Lake County Board President, not elected by residents directly.** This means we don’t get a say in who represents us. However, this situation can be altered through a legal process involving a petition followed by a referendum. 2. A new state law now allows the county board to dissolve the Rockland Fire Protection District, essentially stripping away any local control over our fire services. Even though we’d still pay taxes for these services, the county might outsource them to other departments, potentially at rates they determine. 3. If the Rockland Fire Protection District transitions to an elected board, it would be exempt from this part of the law. As a result, the district couldn’t be dissolved by the county board’s decision. The petition referenced in the letter aims to place a referendum on the April ballot. If approved, this would allow voters to decide if the board should transition to an elected model. To qualify, the petition needs signatures from 10% of registered voters within the district. This letter and the associated petition drive are the joint effort of several concerned residents.
