Fire protection pact considered for West and East Lucas townships
Johnson County officials draft a pact between Hills and Coralville to share fire protection across West and East Lucas townships. The plan uses an imaginary boundary along Izaak Walton League Road to reallocate duties and tax revenue while avoiding formal boundary changes. Residents of Indian Lookout Mobile Home Community favor Hills due to quicker response times, while some Union Township farmers oppose excluding their area.
