Mic Eby, voted Hoodland s Firefighter of the Year.
Eby nam ed ‘V o lu n te e r of th e Y ear’
Mic Eby says that everything
he’s done to date in his varied
career has prepared hiem to be a
fireman, and contributed to the
“ Volunteer of the Year’’ award he
was given this month by Hood land
Fire District. ,
Eby, 29, has been with the fire
district since July, 1979. His
background has included sports,
art
school,
counseling
and
teaching.
Although Eby majored in art at
Occidental College in southern
California, “ What I really wanted
to be was a pro baseball player,’ ’
he said. “ But that didn’t work out
— my knees couldn't take it.’’
His athletic ability and training
led him from California to the
Willamette Valley and a job with
the Oregon City organization
known as Youth Adventures.
The job involved some coun
seling, and Eby’s education took a
turn in that direction. “ I also ended
up with a whole lot of management

tax increment
finance plan
Clackamas County became
the first county in Oregon to
establish a tax increment
financing district when the
Board of Commissioners
approved, December 30, the
Town
Center
Area
Development Plan.
The TIF district w ill raise
$15 m illion over 6 years and,
together
with
expected
federal funds, w ill un
derwrite $32 million in public
improvements for an 853-
acre area in the 1-205-
Sunnyside Road-82nd Avenue
area.
The adopted development
plan establishes a list of 12
transportation projects and
eight community services
projects and sets dollar
amounts and a tune schedule
for each.
Road
improvements,
realignments and unproved
traffic signals, along with
transit ways are planned to
reduce congestion. The most
costly project is a new 1-205
freeway interchange due for
construction at the end of the
6-year life of the taxing
district.
The adoption
of
the
financing package is the final
step in a three year effort.
The comprehensive plan,
which
was adopted in
January, 1980, identified the
Town Center area as an
“ activity center." I>and was
rezoned for high density
residential, commercial and
campus industrial uses, and
in October the County
adopted the Town Center
Area Design Plan that
identified

courses," he said.
All of this taught him that “ I ’ve
got to have a job working with
people," he said. “ I need the
contact with people."
When Eby moved to Brightwood
and became a volunteer firefighter
in 1979, he was employed as a
counselor and teacher at Seren
dipity School, an alternative school
in East Multnomah County which
enrolls high school students
dropping out of the traditional
school systems.
He said at that time he was
spending four days a week
teaching in Gresham and three
days a week at the Hoodland fire
station. Early in 1980, he decided to
“ take a plunge” and give up his
paying job to serve as a full-time
volunteer for the district.
Eby said he decided to make the
change and spend a full year
“ scraping by" and living on his
wife's salary, earned as a coun
selor with Youth Adventures.
“ I wanted the education of being
a firefighter,” he said. “ There are
a lot of talented, well-trained
people in this district, and I was
willing to take a chance so that I
could glom onto their talents and
learn from them."
He said he is achieving his goal.
“ Working here is very open-ended
— I just keep on learning,” he said.
“ The work is so varied.”
Eby said he is glad he is learning
the work at the Hoodland district.
“ Being a rural firefighter there is
so much more that you do than
being a city firefighter.”
He cited last January’s ice storm
as an example. “ It was like a five-
day training session,” he said. “ I
lived here for five days. During
that time I went from being a
greenhorn rookie to a hardened
veteran rookie.”
In November, the fire district
hired Eby as a paid firefighter to
staff the new Government Camp
fire station. Even before that time,

Fire
Chief
Don
Arm introut called Eby “ a very
dynamic individual — very people-
oriented,” and said his varied
background has been an asset to
the district. “ He has people
management training, he’s a skier,
a climber, a rapeller, a multi-
lettered athlete," — and an art
major.
When Eby was asked how his art
training
might
affect
his
firefighting skills, he eyed the
painted concrete walls of the
Hoodland fire station.
