Why Prop 455 Is Needed Now
Keep Emergency Care Close to Home.
Timber Mesa responds to nearly 8,300 calls each year, and that number continues to rise. More than 70% of those calls are medical emergencies.
At the same time:
- Several stations are outdated, overcrowded, or no longer safe or efficient
- Equipment is aging and becoming more costly to maintain
- State limits on property tax growth restrict the district’s ability to fund major capital needs through its regular budget
The district has delayed these investments as long as possible. Prop 455 is about addressing these needs before they affect response times, firefighter safety, or service reliability.
A Record of Responsibility
Timber Mesa has a strong track record of using taxpayer dollars wisely. Prop 455 reflects that same approach: careful planning, clear priorities, and a commitment to the community.
- More than 80% of the budget goes directly to frontline services
- Less than 3% is spent on administrative costs
- The district has received clean audits year after year
- The district has earned national recognition for financial transparency and reporting
