A YES vote means
Lets the county charge landline, mobile and internet phone users up to $3 a month starting July 1, 2027. The money funds emergency dispatch and new police and fire radios.
A NO vote means
Keeps the county’s current charge limit of $1.50 a month for phone users. It does not provide the extra fee funding for emergency dispatch and replacement radios.
