Oct 07 2008
Capt. Maxx Jones, Public Information Officer/Public Ed for the Orcas Island Fire Department issued the following statement on Oct. 6 :
"On September 30th, at the All-Hands informational meeting, a vote for
membership support for the Division Chief proposal was taken. After 6 months
of meetings, discussions and presentations, the majority of our membership
took the initiative to get the facts to make an informed decision. Medical
Control Dr. Sullivan and Commissioner Duke also attended the meeting. Both
spoke in favor of the plan and answered questions from the members.
Twenty-nine (29) of the thirty-one (31) members present voted to support the
proposal. The first 12 months will be a trial period. This will give the
district a chance to make the needed adjustments."
