Vote Yes on Clear Creek Measure 1A

Clear Creek Measure 1A increases the tax mill levy in unincorporated Clear Creek County to improve Fire and EMS services. Measure 1A will increase the Clear Creek County Emergency Services General Improvement District (“District”) mill levy in the unincorporated areas of the county from 4.659 mills to 11.459 mills.  

Since its creation in 1988, the District’s mill levy has been set at 4.659 mills. Increasing demands on fire protection and emergency medical services — including more frequent wildfires, higher visitor populations, growing residential development in wildland-urban interface areas, and an aging population—have placed a significant strain on local providers

The revenue is intended to support the Clear Creek Fire Authority and Clear Creek EMS.  Clear Creek Fire Authority: 

• Supporting staff recruitment/retention, 

• Improving wildfire prevention and suppression, 

• Providing homeowner education on defensible space and home hardening, 

• Improving watershed protection, and 

• Leveraging state/federal funding.

Clear Creek EMS: 

• Sustaining advanced medical services and response times,

• Adding a third ambulance crew, and 

• Reducing reliance on mutual aid.

Measure 1A has been endorsed by the Clear Creek County Democratic party.
