A second tabulation of ballots following a miscount showed that the Crescent Fire Protection District eked out a narrow victory in its most recent effort to pass a benefit assessment.
The results were flipped from the previous count with the benefit assessment effort claiming a victory of $17.80 over those that voted against it, Fire Chief Bill Gillespie told the Wild Rivers Outpost on Tuesday. However, the results are preliminary and will be taken to the Crescent Fire Protection Board of Directors for certification on July 12, he said.
