Bond Measure 34-133 was approved
voters in TVF&R's service area in November 2006.
This $77.5
million bond will be paid over 20 years. The
average cost
to the typical homeowner* is approximately $14/year for
the first two years, and approximately $29/year over the life of
the bond.
Video Overview
The bond is funding improvements throughout TVF&R's entire
service area:
- Rebuild Five Existing Stations.
Several TVF&R stations - built before the 1960s - have
safety concerns and are unable to house modern firefighting
apparatus. The bond will rebuild stations in:
West Linn (Willamette &
Bolton communities), Wilsonville,
Progress, and
Oak Hills.
- Purchase 23 Emergency Response Apparatus to help ensure timely and
reliable response in all communities
served by TVF&R.

- Build Two Additional Fire Stations in communities where
response times are currently exceeding 6 minutes and
extensive growth is occurring, including
Tigard and
North Bethany.

- Correct Operational and Safety Deficiencies
at Eight Stations.
TVF&R's older stations need seismic reinforcement to help
ensure that firefighters can respond following an earthquake
or other major emergency. These stations include:
Rock Creek/Somerset,
West Slope,
South Beaverton,
Cooper Mountain,
Tigard,
King City,
Tualatin, and
Wilsonville.
- Purchase Land for Future Fire Stations.
The bond is paying for land for the new
Tigard and
Bethany stations. It will also purchase land for at least two future fire stations in
areas expecting growth, including 170th Avenue in
Aloha and the southwest
side of Bull Mountain.
- Relocate TVF&R's Command and Business Operations Center. More...
