Five months after voters on Nov. 8 approved a temporary tax override measure, the Superstition Fire and Medical District Governing Board voted 5-0 to utilize the 25 cents per $100 assessed value increase.
Voting yes at a meeting April 19 were Chairman Jeff Cross, Board Clerk Gene Gehrt and board members Todd House, Larry Strand and Jason Moeller.
The override will raise a forecasted $4,999,765 over five years, Roger Wood, SFMD finance director, said to the board at the meeting. He showed a slide with projected revenues of $951,970 in 2017-18, $975,769 in 2018-19, $1,000,163 in 2019-20, $1,025,167 in 2020-21 and $1,046,696 in 2021-22.
