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.”
