Good Shepherd Lutheran Church When the appearance of Jesus was changed at the Transfiguration, with Peter, James and John present, the voice of God said from a cloud, “This is my Son, my Chosen; listen to Him!” It was a retreat of sorts, so that Jesus could be away from the crowds. But the point was to prepare Him for what was coming: His crucifixion, death and resurrection. Youth group meets Tues- days at 6 p.m.; Lenten service is at 7 p.m. Wednesdays.

By SCOTT JORGENSEN IVN Staff Writer Members of Josephine County’s Rural Fire Protec- tion Committee met with the Board of County Commis- sioners in Grants Pass on Wednesday, Feb. 14 to pre- sent an initial report on their recommendations. Commissioners formed the 11-member committee last year to examine options for fire protection for rural areas of the county not in a fire district. Final recom- mendations are to be pre- sented to the commissioners before the end of March. However, during its Thursday, Feb. 1 meeting, the committee voted to meet with the commissioners and provide a progress update. “We need to make sure this ship is on the right course,” said committee member Brett Fillis. The committee formed three subcommittees de- voted to establishing boundaries, standards and rates. Of those three areas, Fillis said that rates are the “biggest area left for discus- sion.” Recommendations for boundaries and standards are nearly complete, Fillis told the commissioners. Since starting in late November, the committee has narrowed its list of rural fire protection options from nine to two. The remaining options are a fire district with one franchise provider and a fire district with taxa- tion. Fillis presented com- missioners a list of pros and cons for both options, add- ing that the committee is inclined to recommend a fire district with one fran- chise provider. “This has the greatest chance of success for any- thing happening,” Fillis said.

Its first board of directors would have to be appointed, with subsequent boards voted in by residents of the district. Fillis told county com- missioners that rural ambu- lance services currently op- erate under a single fran- chise system. Committee member Brian Robinson said that having a fire board would ultimately make things eas- ier for the commissioners. “It removes the burden from you,” Robinson said. “I know the (board of com- missioners) has a lot on its plate.” Vice Chairman Dave Toler of the county board asked if a franchise provider agreement would ensure participation in the fire dis- trict. Fillis said that it wouldn’t, but that the dis- trict would be able to oper- ate with the current level of residents who subscribe to rural fire protection services. Robinson said that citi- zens would feel a sense of ownership with a fire dis- trict, which would increase participation. Fillis said that most fire districts in the state use tax- ing districts, and that only one or two use franchise agreements. Committee chairman Fes Lellis said that taxing districts are the only way to ensure universal participa- tion in a fire district. He then asked the commissioners for direction on where the com- mittee should focus its fu- ture efforts. Chairman Jim Raffen- burg said that the board would discuss the matter internally, and would have an answer by the end of the month. Ellis expressed his support for the franchise option, but said that he still is concerned regarding the ability to regulate rates un- der such a system. However, county Com- missioner Dwight Ellis said he is pleased with the com- mittee’s work, and confident that a workable solution could be reached. “I think the people are ready for us to take some action on this,” Ellis said. The committee’s Thurs- day, Feb. 15 meeting was canceled in order to allow the commissioners to con- sider the preliminary report. Its next meeting tentatively is scheduled for Thursday, March 1 at 4:30 p.m. in Room 157 of the Josephine County Courthouse.
