Why it matters
This contract keeps fire alarms, sprinklers, and emergency exits working in county buildings where you vote, go to court, visit health clinics, and use libraries. Good fire safety protects thousands of people every week and prevents emergencies.
If this passes
Fire safety systems in county buildings get regular inspections and maintenance. Emergency exits, alarms, and sprinklers stay in good working order to protect visitors.
If this does not pass
Fire safety systems might not get proper maintenance, which could create safety risks in county buildings where people go for government services.
