At their February 7 meeting, White Salmon City Council appointed three representatives to serve on the recently voter-approved Western Klickitat Regional Fire Authority (WKRFA). City Councilors Jason Hartmann, Ben Giant, and David Lindley will serve as three of the six commissioners for the WKRFA; per the draft RFA plan, the other three seats will be held by the three commissioners of Klickitat Fire District 3 (KFD3).

The official formation date for the new entity is September 30, 2024. However, the appointed leadership is expected to meet in advance of the effective date to begin setting up administration and operations for the WKRFA. In addition to the six Commissioners, the work group undertaking the setup for the WKRFA will also include representation from the volunteer firefighters of KFD3, White Salmon Fire Department, and members of the public who served on the Citizen Task Force.

All meetings in advance of the activation date will provide advance public notice and adhere to public meeting requirements. Those interested in receiving alerts for upcoming meetings should sign up for E-Notifications; please see links below.
