Director gives update on administration IGA District boards hear about implementation plan, advisory committee, hiring B Y C HANTELLE M EYER Siuslaw News The administrative team for Siuslaw Valley Fire and Rescue and Western Lane Ambulance District gave a one-month update to both boards during their July meet- ings. In June, the boards formed an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) to share administration and place Fire Chief Jim Langborg as direc- tor over both districts. Langborg said, “One of the things we realized would be important was keeping the boards aware of what we are doing. We implemented this transition plan so you have an understanding of what to expect as I am phased in and Brian (Burright) phases out.” Burright, Western Lane’s interim director, plans to tran- sition out of his role and have Langborg fully in place by Dec. 31. “The transition is a progres- sion,” Burright said. “We’ve been working hard trying to do the things we put in the implementation plan.” The IGA details a month- by-month progression of duties and goals and includes a rundown of tasks, with responsibilities, areas of focus and completion status. “Essentially, this is a track- ing device we can utilize in board meetings and in the administrative advisory com- mittee to see where we’re at,” Langborg said. During the Western Lane board meeting, Board President Mike Webb made sure Langborg had a manage- able workload. “It’s a little busy right now,” Langborg said. “On top of this we’re replacing our operations chief at the fire department, hiring an opera- tions manager at Western Lane, have a levy coming up and we’re still working on our strategic plans.” Webb said, “It looks like a lot of stuff on your plate. ... I know Smokey Bear says, ‘Only You Can Prevent Forest Fires,’ but we’re trying not to have you do that.” Once the operation posi- tions are filled, estimate to be done by Nov. 1, Langborg is hopeful that more of his tasks can be spread around. “Everybody realizes it’s going to be a lot of work, but the end result is what we’re working toward,” he said. The public can view the implementation plan and other IGA documents at svfr.org and westernlaneambulance.com. One task is the creation of an advisory committee to oversee IGA-related matters and serve as oversight to the administrative team. It will also advise both districts’ boards on IGA decisions. Langborg envisions the committee will meet once a month at first, but meet less often as the IGA goes on. Siuslaw Valley selected board member John Carnahan, Fire Marshal Sean Barrett and firefighter Andy Grey to serve on the committee. Western Lane selected board member Dick Childs, supervisor Matt House and paramedic Darrek Mullins. Langborg said that Larry Farnsworth is interested in being a citizen representative on the committee, but that the committee would get to vote on that. “The advisory committee will be doing a lot of things we’ve been doing with the boards now,” Langborg said. It will not give input to the operations of either district. Burright and Langborg made a point to meet with “all hands” of Siuslaw Valley and Western Lane during a train- ing session in July. “During that we talked about the IGA, our intentions and expectations, the imple- mentation plan and making sure everyone was on the same page,” Langborg said. “It was a very positive experi- ence.” ODOT summer road construction continues Dare yourself to dream of the future We’ll help you take care of the details. Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) con- tinues several road projects on highways in western Lane County. To view road condi- tions before a trip, go to www.tripcheck.com. The Siuslaw River Bridge Cathodic Protection Project continues, mileposts 190 to 191 on Highway 101. ODOT crews are making repairs to the existing concrete and reinforcement, replacing the rail and improving pedestrian access. This project will be completed in March 2019. Delays may be up to 20 minutes but will normally be five minutes or less. The job is to be completed by the end of March 2019. On Highway 126, ODOT is replacing a bridge mem- brane just west of Veneta. The project, mileposts 40 to 47, will include seven miles of paving, adjusting guardrails and bridgework. This will mostly be done Sundays through Thursdays, 7 p.m. to 7 a.m., with inter- mittent lane closures. The project is scheduled to be completed by the end of October 2016.
