Pasadena District 6 community meeting hosted by Councilmember Steve Madison on October 14, 2026, covered the proposed Measure PFD fire-services parcel tax and transportation projects. Fire officials said the measure, which the City Council placed on the November ballot, would raise an estimated $19 million annually—about $225 million over 14 years—at 19 cents per square foot of improved property, with no annual cost-of-living increase, qualifying low-income senior exemptions, independent audits, public spending disclosures, and a sunset. Potential uses include rebuilding two stations, constructing a ninth fire station and local training center, adding two rescue ambulances, an engine and a ladder truck, and expanding wildfire preparedness and brush clearance. No procurement awards or votes occurred at the meeting; residents discussed the proposed funding, project priorities, timeline, and what could happen if voters reject the measure.
