the most cost effective way toughest decision he made
possible without compromis- during his fi rst term was vot-
ing the safety of our KFD staff ing against a 6 percent cost of
living increase for KFD’s pro-
fessional fi refi ghters when the
consumer price index was at
only 2-plus percent.
Christopher has said the
biggest issue facing KFD is
succession.
“We are going to be los-
ing some very excellent long-
term fi re service employees to
retirement in the next years,
just like many other govern-
ment agencies,” Christopher
said. “We need policy and up-
dated structure in place that
meets the needs of the Keizer
community in 2017 and be-
yond to accommodate these
personnel changes.”
Christopher’s father was a
volunteer fi refi ghter in Red-
mond for more than 40 years
and his uncle was the Red-
mond fi re chief for over thirty
years.
“I have a strong affi nity to
the profession of fi re service,”
Christopher said. “Fire service
has been a part of my entire
life and I am proud to con-
tribute to the services provid-
ed in my home town.”
