||| FROM KIM KIMPLE for BOARD OF FIRE COMMISSIONERS |||
With a mid-term resignation from Commissioner Janet Marlow, the Board of Fire Commissioners is seeking candidates to fill the unexpired term.
The Board will conduct a public process including advertising, interviewing, and selecting a candidate to fill the seat by May 2 nd , 2022. The selected candidate will serve as an appointed commissioner on the board, with a public election taking place on the seat in the November 2023 General Election. At that time the publicly elected commissioner will complete the remainder of the term through December 2025.
Interested candidates and members of the public are encouraged to attend the Board of Fire Commissioner meetings to learn more. The next Board of Fire Commissioners meeting is scheduled to be held on Tuesday, February 22 at 5:30 p.m. online via Zoom.
For more information, or to be added to the meeting notification list, email BOFC@orcasfire.org or visit the website at www.orcasfire.org.

Nov, 2023, not Nov. of 2022? So they serve out the rest of the vacated term? Thank you for clarifying this. I hope people will step up! It would help if the Public were attending meetings and keeping their eyes on this.
Seems that there have been a lot of voices with a lot of opinions about how the Fire department should be run.
I expect to see every one of them submit an application.
