Cache County Fire Protection District board meeting, October 20, 2026: The board approved setting a truth-in-taxation hearing for November 16 regarding a proposed $4.2 million property-tax increase for 2027 to fund fire protection and EMS. Members discussed explaining that increase alongside an anticipated $3.9 million reduction in the county tax allocation, and agreed to make board members available to answer residents’ questions before the hearing. The board also discussed district staffing and governance, including a potential director of operations and continuing discussions on EMS and training arrangements. It passed a recommendation on geographic divisions for appointing 11 trustees (Resolution 2026-05); the proposed district name change (Resolution 2026-04) was discussed, but the transcript does not capture a final vote on it.

No new contract award or solicitation was identified. Members noted that approximately $1 million in previously ordered equipment—including an ambulance and a pumper—is expected before year-end and was appropriated through the county’s capital fund. They also raised questions about how the district should account for transferred equipment and a reported $600,000 county fire department contribution to a public works building. A separate agenda item concerning Weaver cash boundaries was struck from consideration.
