Reminder: Salida MAC Meeting is tonight. 7:00 PM. Salida Library.
The MAC will be recognizing Salida resident, Doug Dressler as a “Good Neighbor.” Doug and his family have lived in Salida for 14 years in the Amberwood neighborhood. You can always see Doug raking, blowing and sweeping not just his yard or in front of his house but all over his street. Doug also cleans the old yard sale signs off the poles at the intersection of Gold Valley and Finney. Last seen, Doug had his w**d whacker out, knocking down all the w**ds that had grown up through the sidewalk on the west side of Finney. Thank you, Doug for always going above and beyond!!!!

If you would like to nominate a Good Neighbor please email the MAC.

For those Salida homeowners/residents who are still undecided about Measure J, the special fire tax here is something to ponder. Measure J is asking homeowners in the Salida Fire Protection District to support a new special tax to keep our fire district going. Insurance companies use the Insurance Services Office (ISO) to determine a community's Public Protection Classification (PPC), commonly known as an IOS score. The cost of your homeowners insurance is directly tied to ISO scores. Your ISO score evaluates your local fire department, 1 being the best and 10 being the worst. This determines part of the cost for your homeowners insurance. Communities with staffed full time fire stations receive lower scores because response times are better. Right now Salida is considered a 1. This is good. It keeps our homeowners insurance low. If Station 12 goes away, it’s gone folks. Forever. We aren’t getting it back. Every homeowner’s annual insurance policy will spike. A community being served by a distant fire station (from Modesto or County Consolidated) will cause your ISO score to go up which will increase your annual homeowner’s insurance. Because response times can be slower, your home is considered a higher risk, which typically results in higher annual premiums. So, are you still worried about being asked to pay that additional $168 per year? Please think about this carefully.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
Ballots for the June Primary should be arriving at the homes of registered voters this week. Salida residents who are registered voters have a decision to make. You will see Measure J on your ballot. WHAT IS MEASURE J? Measure J is a special tax that will generate $1.9 million annually to fund ongoing emergency services in the Salida Fire Protection District (SFPD). Right now property owners pay $45 per residence on your annual tax bill. Business owners may pay a different amount based off their tax code. This money funds our emergency services. The $45 amount has not been raised in over 30 years. Residential property owners will continue to pay the $45 per year. The new Measure J tax adds $168 per year to your annual property tax for a new total of $213 per year. ($45 + $168 = $213.00). We know NOBODY wants to pay more in taxes. But the $213 will fund full time firefighters who provide emergency fire and medical services to keep us all safe. Registered voters in the SFPD (Salida, Wood Colony, Del Rio) will be the ones voting on this new tax. If the Measure passes, we get to keep our current level of service which includes 24/7 staffing and Advanced Life Support from our Station 12 on Broadway. If Measure J does not pass SFPD cannot afford to maintain our current level of services on $45 per year. There WILL BE a reduction in our services. Measure J provides for a special Independent Citizens Advisory Committee who will oversee and monitor the use of the newly generations to make sure every dollar is spent on services to SFPD. The majority of your Salida Municipal Advisory Council support Measure J. Please carefully consider Measure J and vote to support our continued health and safety in Salida.
