The IGA is <br />effective for the current fiscal year, and also includes the positions <br />of Operations Chief, Training Chief, and Fire Marshal. In addition to <br />position savings, the consolidation offers opportunities to develop <br />more efficient services in both jurisdictions. Emergency response <br />operations, already operating in a unified system, will not be <br />affected. The functional consolidation will be evaluated throughout <br />the fiscal year, and a decision will be made during that time <br />regarding whether to proceed with further consolidation of the <br />departments. For more information, please contact Community <br />Relations & EMS Chief Mark Walker at 541-744-3388. <br /> <br />EUGENE CITY COUNCIL NEWSLETTER PAGE 1 <br />July 1, 2010 <br />
