🚨🚨Citizens of Hanford🚨🚨

You already pay for Kings County Fire Assistance!! A % of your Property tax already goes to fund the Kings County Fire Department. Another tax leveled against you should not be the answer to fund THEIR department!!

🚨The level of service of YOUR Hanford Fire Department will not increase!!

🚨Don’t be fooled by their attempt to use the health and safety of YOUR family to sway your vote.

🚨🚨NO ON F!!🚨🚨

✅County Fire responds to less than 250 calls for assistance per year. The 1,000 number their Union referenced was extremely misleading. Unfortunately it was a play on numbers that is less than truthful.

✅Measure F is short sighted and not all inclusive. Law Enforcement should be fairly represented as well. We understand the concern of the County Union that Law Enforcement budget far exceeds the Fire budget and the perception that Law Enforcement gets the funding they need. We remain stedfast in our stance that all public safety, Fire and Law Enforcement should be represented in a tax measure. (Law Enforcement budgets will always be significantly more than Fire, operationally it is a necessity. Our Hanford Police Department responded to 60,000 calls for service in the 2021 calendar year. Their budget is justified!)

✅ Approximately $8.7 million tax dollars will leave the City of Hanford to increase Fire Services in the City of Corcoran, Avenal, Kettleman and other outlying communities.

(Although we agree that the citizens of those cities and outlying communities need increased services, we can not support $8.7 million + leaving the citizens of Hanford)

✅ There is NOT a sunset clause on this measure. The citizens and businesses of Hanford would continue to pay for Fire Services in the previously mentioned Cities and outlay communities with no end in sight.

✅ The County Fire does provide automatic and mutual aid to the City of Hanford, as does the City of Hanford to the County Fire.

✅ City of Hanford Fire responded to approximately 7,000 incidents in the calendar year of 2021.
(County Fire responded in approximately 250 times, according to their Chief. $8.7 million dollars leaving the City of Hanford is not justified by the 250> incidents per year. The cost would exceed $35,000 per mutual or automatic aid incident. At that cost, it would behoove the City Council and residents of the City of Hanford to keep those tax monies in the city. At $8.7 million, the Hanford Fire Department would be able to add 2 additional stations and personnel. Along with the Hanford Police Department receiving additional funds to alleviate some of their budget constraints)

✅ Measure F will not have a direct impact of increased services to the residents of the City of Hanford and very little indirect impact.

No on F

VOTE NO ON MEASURE F

Support the Hanford Fire Department, Hanford Police Department, and City of Hanford by Voting NO on Measure F. Fact sheet below from the City of Hanford. This measure does NOT support your local Hanford Fire Department or any other public safety in the County.

The Hanford Police Officers Association is considering options to increase public safety funding for all of Kings County and not just the Kings County Fire Department. If Measure F passes this will make it difficult to support all public safety in Kings County.

Remember Measure F has no sunset clause and will provide ONLY Kings County Fire over $11 MILLION a year until voters repeal the tax measure. Hanford Fire Department responds to almost 1,000 more calls a year then Kings County Fire does and operates with a budget just under $9 million. This tax measure will increase Kings County Fire Departments multi million dollar budget by over $11 million and will provide very minimal services to Hanford residents.
