The voters of Appleton City are being asked to consider a Fire Protection Association Sales Tax to be on the April 2, 20224 ballot. This tax is a sales tax of ½ of 1% that will allow the Appleton City Fire Department to replace aging and obsolete equipment. The monies received will be designated ONLY for the replacement and maintenance of all equipment. This could include anything pertaining to the trucks, hoses, individual protective equipment, etc. as is needed by the Appleton City Fire Department to effectively and safely serve the citizens of Appleton City. Several of the Fire Department trucks are over 25 years of age, with maintenance becoming more intensive and costlier every year and they all need replacing.
