Dear Resident,
On May 20, 2024, the Twin Lakes Village Board approved including a referendum question that would fund the cost of providing 24-hour emergency medical services to the Village on the August 13th Ballot.
The residents of Twin Lakes have relied on EMS volunteers to respond to emergency medical calls. Like many other communities throughout the state, the number of EMS volunteers are drastically declining while the volume of calls continues to rise. The additional funding will allow the Village to be serviced by full-time, paid, professional personnel which will ensure a high quality of care and a quick response to calls.
Please take the time to read through this information. We invite you to attend our Town Hall Meeting on Monday, July 22 beginning at 6:30 pm. These will also be livestreamed on our Facebook Page. As residents ourselves, we strongly believe this is a crucial time to improve our EMS service to the community. Emergency Medical Services is something that can affect each one of us some point in our lives.
Sincerely,
Howard Skinner
Village President
Referendum Question
“Under state law, the increase in the levy of the Village of Twin Lakes for the tax to be imposed for the next fiscal year, 2025, is limited to 1.577%, which results in a levy of $4,506,342. Shall the Village of Twin Lakes be allowed to exceed this limit and increase the levy for the next fiscal year, 2025, for the purpose of providing funding for four (4) emergency medical service positions, by a total of 11.682%, which results in a levy of $5,032,778, and on an ongoing basis, include the increase of $526,436 for each fiscal year going forward?”
