Calendar

The City of Whitewater will host three public information sessions on the EMS staffing referendum that will appear on fall general election ballots on Nov. 8.

The sessions, one held in September and the other two in October, will be hosted in-person at three separate locations across the city.

“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 three information sessions:

• Wednesday, Sept. 21, at 6 p.m. – Whitewater University Innovation Center, 1221 Innovation Drive.
• Saturday, Oct. 8, at 10 a.m. – Irvin L. Young Memorial Library, 431 W. Center St.
• Tuesday, Oct. 11, at 5 p.m. – Whitewater Fire Station, 312 W. Whitewater St.
