PB270004

The Glide Fire District finished paying for the $275,000 bond that was passed by voters in 1999.  This bond was used to purchase a new 2000 Pierce fire engine.  During the repayment period the fire district refunded more than $10,000 in funds that were not needed for the purchase of the fire engine, resulting in a lower tax rate for district patrons.  In making the final payment on these bonds district patrons should see their combined tax rate reduced by almost $0.16 per thousand of assessed value.
