The cost to the district
for BOLA’s services is
$2,500, comparatively
cheaper than the $8,000
and $5,000 packages pro-
posed by 4M Consulting in
Newberg and Emergency
Services Consulting Inc. in
Wilsonville.
“From what I’ve heard
BOLA does a very fine
job, board member Larrick
Jones, who was put in
charge of researching and
selecting the consulting
firms, told the board dur-
ing the meeting.
“Number one it would
be cost-effective to the
district. Number two (they)
could do just as good a job
as the other two,” he said.
Members also decided
it would pay the new chief
a salary between $45,000-
$60,000.
That amount “would
be a fair range depending
on experience,” Downing
noted.
And the range in pay
would help attract candi-
dates with different levels
of experience, he added.
District directors have
been considering since
June how they will seek
candidates for the fire
chief position vacated by
Kyle Kirchner, who re-
signed from the post after
several charges were made
against him regarding dis-
trict finances.
(Editor’s Note: Infor-
mation about the special
meeting was not received
by “Illinois Valley News”
until Wednesday, Oct. 1
after the newspaper had
gone to press. To adver-
tise the meeting for the
valley, the district bought
an ad in the Grants Pass
“Daily Courier” and
posted notices at various
locations in and around
Cave Junction.)
