||| FROM KIM KIMPLE for ORCAS ISLAND BOARD OF FIRE COMMISSIONERS |||
The Orcas Island Board of Fire Commissioners will present a Resolution during the September 19 5:30 p.m. regular meeting to change the time of the regular monthly meeting.
The Board currently meets at 5:30 p.m. on the third Monday of each month. After discussion during the July 18 and August 15 meetings, the Board will move the meetings to 1 p.m. on the third Monday of each month, starting in October.
This change will run on a trial basis through December. Many of the staff and volunteers who attend the meetings also spend several evenings per month participating in other department meetings and trainings.
Public participation and input are a vital part of each public meeting. Public comment will continue to be held, and the Board of Fire
Commissioner’s meeting will continue to be recorded and available on the website.
For more information, or to be added to the meeting notification list, email BOFC@orcasfire.org or visit the website at www.orcasfire.org.

Changing time to 1:00 pm is great way to cut public participation!! It almost eliminates the
working folks. The early afternoon time was set to encourage public attendance.
