Editor’s note: The following press release was received from the City of Whitewater.

The community will have the opportunity to hear from Fire Chief, City leaders and ask questions

The City of Whitewater will host two more public information sessions regarding the EMS staffing referendum that will appear on fall general election ballots on November 8, 2022. The sessions will be hosted in-person at two separate locations.

“In November, Whitewater residents will be asked whether they support increased property
taxes to support EMS staffing,” said Kelly Freeman, Chief of Whitewater Fire and EMS. “These
sessions will provide us the opportunity to share information and begin a dialogue with members
of the community about the need for increased EMS staffing.”

Each information session will include a presentation from City officials as well as an opportunity
to ask questions. Whitewater residents are encouraged to attend one of the two remaining information
sessions:

● Saturday, October 8, at 10 a.m. – Irvin L. Young Memorial Library, 431 W. Center St
● Tuesday, October 11, at 5 p.m. – Whitewater Fire Station, 312 W. Whitewater St.
