# Cache County Fire Protection District    10-20-2026

Cache County Fire Protection District board meeting, October 20, 2026: The board approved setting a Truth in Taxation hearing for November 16 at 6:00 p.m. on a proposed 2027 property-tax increase of $4.2 million (stated as 100%) to fund fire protection and EMS. Members noted that the district tax would accompany an estimated $3.9 million reduction in county tax, and discussed explaining the net effect to residents. The board also approved a recommendation on geographic divisions for appointing district trustees (Resolution 2026-05); members suggested clarifying the city categories, with the county council to consider that change. A public hearing was held on a proposed district name change, and a motion to adopt Resolution 2026-04 was made and seconded, but the transcript does not capture a final vote.

Members discussed upcoming budget work through the north and south advisory committees and continued deliberations about district staffing and EMS operations. The county reported that roughly $1 million in previously ordered equipment—including an ambulance and a pumper—is expected before year-end and was appropriated through the county capital fund; members also noted a prior $600,000 county contribution to the public works building. No new contract award, solicitation, or vendor selection was identified. The board scheduled a follow-up meeting for November 18.
