Finances for fire district annexation to be discussed at Othello council workshop

OTHELLO — Othello residents are being invited to a workshop at 5 p.m. Aug. 10 to discuss finance options available to the city if a proposal to annex the city into Adams County Fire District 5 is approved. Mayor Ken Johnson said that if an annexation is approved, the way Othello residents pay for their fire services will change, which means the Othello City Council must make some decisions.
