<br />14 Lee County fire district budgets. Mr. Andrews stated the Fire Advisory Board met with each of the
<br />seven volunteer fire departments to discuss and review their budgets. Mr. Andrews stated the budget
<br />increases this year were mainly for operations, personnel, and grant matches. Of the seven
<br />departments, there is only one department where the tax rate will remain the same; four departments
<br />are seeing a decrease in their tax base as a result of the new service districts or losses from the
<br />revaluation process; and three departments will gain tax base from the new service district, and two will
<br />have a rate increase. After discussion, Commissioner Smith moved to accept the fire district budget
