Voters in the Central Valley Fire District will decide whether to renew a 10-mill levy first approved seven years ago but set to expire this year.
Central Valley Fire Chief Ron Lindroth said renewal of the levy, which would raise approximately $689,500 per year, will be used to pay the salaries of career firefighters. The levied funds represent 17 percent of the districtâs tax revenues.
âItâs important for us to have that renewed,â Lindroth said. âOur (service) call volume is going through the roof with the demands of a growing population.â
The CVFD service area, serving a population of more than 40,000 residents, covers a 200 square-mile area extending from the Bridger Mountains on the east to the Gallatin River on the west, and from Pass Creek Road on the north to Four Corners on the south.

The Montana Transportation Commission will consider awarding a construction contract later this month for a new rest area near Three Forks to replace the existing facility at the 19th Avenue/Interstate 90 interchange in Bozeman.
Bids for the project were opened last week, and on Friday the Department of Transportation identified the âbest value teamâ as C.A. Rickert & Associates, Inc. and Diamond Construction, Inc., according to William Fogarty, MDT district administrator.
The potential project âwas born from a request from the city of Bozeman some time ago,â Fogarty said. Bozeman officials felt the rest area doesnât suit the 19th Avenue site any longer because of significant commercial and industrial development in the area.
