Board of Commissioners - Regular Meeting

Good morning everybody. I open up this formal session on April 30th at 1000 a.m. and I'd ask Bailey to lead us in the pledge of allegiance. stands one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Thank you for that. Up next is our calendar session. Is there any changes? None.

None. Okay. None. And that brings us to D, which is a presentation from Dwalton Valley Fire and Rescue. And we are joined by uh Chief Brian Smith and Bren Hanning, public affairs officer. Welcome and good morning. Morning. Hopefully we can get the slideshow to Okay. Nice. Thank you very much. Uh, Chair Johnson, good morning. Good morning. Commissioner St. Commissioner King, good morning.

Ryan Smith Valley Fire and Rescue and I'm with Karen Hanning, public affairs officer. She's here to save my bacon if I get to get off track. Um, we're going to talk about uh give you a little incident snapshot. So, give an update of what we've been doing around call volume primarily over the last year. update you on on um uh some of our priorities on call type and things like that. Then we'll also uh uh give you an update on wildland season and what we're doing to prepare for that and then uh a little bit about our EMS landscape and what we're doing in the area of um managing call or on EMS and then also uh give you a bond and capital projects update and talk lastly about struggle well which is our firefighter health and wellness program. Okay, so let's uh begin next slide, please. Yeah, thank you. Um, so on the uh snapshot kind of a overview of the call types and call number of incidents that we had in Newberg for 2025. You see about almost 4,900 calls in 2025. And on the right hand side, you'll see a heat map where it'll show you where the uh most of the calls that we had in Newberg occurred last year. And it's typical for for us to see um the red and bright orange areas coming from the downtown Newberg area between our two stations and um in Newberg. So care homes and uh population density in that area. And then I'll show you that um when we look at the um call types um you see EMS um is our most common call type and that's consistent with the industry. Um EMS is typically about 80 plus percent of our call volume um in

all the areas and cities that we serve. And then we look at dispatched as versus what we found. Our dispatchers do a great job of taking information, triaging it, and then dis dispatching the appropriate resource to the call. But sometimes we get there and we find that uh it's not what we were dispatched as. It's a different um uh call type and so we change it when we do a reporting. So you see some variation there. Um and then um when we look at kind of a breakdown subcategorize our call types, we see in the area of uh fires, we have house fires or commercial fires making up um a small number of calls uh relative to um EMS calls, but of course significant number um of that and then also vehicle fires and wildland fires and other call types. Um so while we don't um we have a fewer number of these call types um they're significant because they require quite a bit of our resources when we fight a fire or come into Newberg for example for a hazmat call we might bring in we would bring in our hazmat team that would come from Talatin and our progress fire stations um as you know Newberg has a water rescue team but if they had the need for additional resources then we'd bring our team from Wamut and engine and built 59 and I would come to help out if needed. Our trench rescue team comes out of um downtown Tiger and they would bring resources around a high angle, low angle rescue, technical rescue and uh so when there's a a call type needing additional resources in in Newberg, we have TVF has the resources from around the district uh to bring bring those into Yam County. Um, and then, uh, you might wonder like when do we have most of our calls occur? And as you would probably expect, um, in

the early hours of the morning, midnight through until about, um, 9:00, maybe 8:00, call volume drops a little bit, but then it really begins to elevate and climb and then spike between like 10:00 a.m. till about um, 5 or 6 p.m. where we run most of our calls in in that time frame. But clearly we're running calls 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. When you look at the uh number of calls that we have been running in Newberg over the last five years, uh we see a small spike in 2022. But if you take the five years on average about 4,800 calls per year in Newberg and then uh when there is a call in Newberg uh clearly our two uh stations in Newberg are the ones who respond most often but we also have engines and apparatas coming from our Sherwood fire station and our King City fire station. So that is uh just an update on um calls we ran in 2025 and it's pretty typical of what we've done in years past and what we expect uh this year. So next slide please. Um, so we are preparing for wildland season and there's been some um some discussion, some concerns around what the season might look like and a report recently from the um Oregon Fire Marshall's office indicates there is some concern about the conditions. Um, this was in February. Uh, they may have some more updated information. I know they will soon if they don't already. Um, and it's a wait and see with spring conditions how things might be. But regardless, TBF&R is doing what we always do at this time of year, which is go through some training. And we put all of our crews

who are all trained in wildland firefighting, put them through what called what's called block training. And they'll go through a a wildland refresher where we'll have the opportunity to kind of fine-tune our operations and our tactics and strategies around how we fight wildland fires. chance to check out our apparatus, our brush rigs, and our tenders, make sure they're all all good and work on host uh deployment and things like that. So, that just concluded. Um, and in addition to the fact that all of our folks have some base training on wildland firefighting, we also have a team of wildland firefighters that have additional training. They make up our wildland uh firefighting team, and they're the ones who will oftentimes provide that training I just talked about. um they also are the ones who will respond outside of the district in the event of a need let's say in eastern Oregon. So uh they provide that wildland team response and also sometimes um as you know from last year's conversation out of state go to Washington, California, Idaho. Um not not that uncommon but we'll see how the season progresses but we're uh preparing for um worst case scenario. So, next slide, please. I mentioned m a moment ago about um EMS and uh that it remains um by far the majority of the calls that we go on are EMS related. And um over my career, I've seen really tremendous advancements in how we do EMS in that we've gotten a lot better at it throughout of the time around equipment and training and um uh response and how we collaborate together on training with other agencies. So, we've come a long way on EMS and we've been encouraging people for forever really as an industry to

call 911 when they when they need need us. And uh the challenge however has come in recent years around how we manage the increase in call volume especially on EMS calls especially when those calls are really low in acuity calls that um um that while they are important to a person calling 911 no doubt about that they may not need an ambulance or even a fire engine may not need to go to the hospital. So we are trying to be innovative in how we approach that segment of our call volume. uh and uh realizing that um uh people get to choose when they call 911 and get to pick their emergency, but we're also trying to educate and uh provide additional resources to manage our response as we go forward. So, u one example of that is um as we look at things that we're doing, next slide, please. Yeah. So again, as we um look for ways to uh maintain high level of service while um also making sure that we remain available as much as we can and uh we are out in the community doing um one program called um advanced practice community paramedics or APCP, advanced practice community paramedics. These are our paramedics that have additional training, a ton of passion around being paramedics. They're very good at being paramedics and they are in our system and they do two things primarily. One is they will add themselves to certain call types uh cardiac arrest or a stroke um maybe a uh a respiratory call, heart attack or trauma. They will add themselves to those high acuity calls and then be an additional resource to the engine crews that are responding and

because of their additional training and some other things they bring to the incident they could help stabilize that that that incident so that call but when they're not adding themselves to critical calls in our system they're responding um code one to um people in our community that we call are high utilizers and we have many of those and a growing number of those and these are people who are accessing 911 for a variety of reasons. Maybe they don't have access to um uh other care providers or a doctor. Maybe they don't have transportation to get to a doctor. Uh maybe all they need is is uh uh a clinic or um uh something like that. But uh because they don't have access, they call 911. So they're going out and meeting and greeting and developing and maintaining relationships with our high utilizers. And so oftent times rather than than u calling 911, they can just help them navigate and maybe an appointment with a doctor or maybe there's a medication prescription issue they can help navigate. Right? So, uh, that work actually has proven to be, um, very helpful in reducing those call types for us by just simply being out in the field and having relationships with people that can help them navigate the systems that they're that they're in. So, uh, excited about that. The other, um, this is new, recently established, is our community risk reduction team and our EMS division have been working together on a um, care facility outreach. So reaching out to our care facilities and we have over 70 of them in the district and several in Newberg. And uh so one thing I know from my years on the engine is we go a lot of calls to care homes. They have a lot of needs for our services. Um they had a lot of turnover too. And so you while you had a lot of

value relationships by knowing the staff, you don't get to know them very long because they a lot of turnover. So um we can and have in the past been able to communicate and have some um shared understanding of process that improves how the call goes but we can't maintain that because again staffing. But with the new program they're going to be out into these facilities on a much more frequent basis and then reinforcing some of the things that help um them and us manage um these calls. And uh so we're excited about that program and um we'll see where where it goes, but we're expecting some really good things. Uh last thing I'll point out is uh nurse navigation. So nurse navigation is a third-party vendor provider. Um so when someone calls 911, dispatcher then makes a triage assessment of that caller and thinks, okay, you might be better served by talking to a nurse over the phone or tele medicine type scenario. And so rather than dispatching 911, they'll connect them to a nurse and at any time the nurse can have that call go back to dispatch and then 911 can be activated. But if not, then a lot of times they can have um um communication and the nurse can do certain things and that person then uh doesn't call 911 and doesn't go into an already busy 911 system and doesn't end up um in an already busy ER that's also very expensive. So nurse navigation is a new tool that we've been using for about a year now and so far it's working really well. So see where it goes. Okay, next slide, please. All right, this is probably something you're interested in, I I'm sure. Um, so in 2021, we passed our bond and with

those resources, we have been um busy, especially recently, um, with uh, remodeling and rebuilding stations throughout the district. Uh, two I'll point out for you are King City Fire Station 35. If you've been through King City recently, um, on 99, you'll see that the station is now completely the old station is completely removed. And I spent a lot of my time and my career at that station, so I miss it already, but it was an old station. It was ready to be replaced. And uh, so it is a uh, the foundation is happening right now. Now, crews are responding still uh, from that location, but in a temporary structure with a temporary apparatus bay. So they'll continue responding from that site probably a year and a half at least before the station is completely done and moved back in. So um and then we have our station 20 Newberg station that is another complete rebuild. Uh excited very much about that and I've worked in that station many times as well and um great location but the station itself was really definitely ready to be re replaced. So we're happy about that. um getting closer to kind of ironing out all the details around our temporary um station that we'll respond out of for probably a year and a half or so until the new station in Newberg is built.

Will the boat stay there also in that the boat will that's a great question. Yes, it will be um parked in there's a temporary expansion of the police department lot. So that's where some of our reserve will be. Other questions for Karen? Yeah. I've got a lot of questions, but thank you for being here. And the I remember uh I know Commissioner Johnston just went through community academy. I'm sure he'll have things to say, but I went through years ago and one of the things they talked about was the additional station in rural Newberg and I think we were looking at Dopp Road. Can you give us an update on that?

Yeah, she can. I'll try. What I miss, she'll she'll close the gap. So, we have purchased a property at the uh corner of Dopp Road and North Valley and it is the uh north um east corner. Uh there's a house there now um and plenty of room to to build an apparas bay. The plan, as I understand, is to redevelop the house and to build an apparat apparass bay. That's probably two years out before we begin begin responding out of that location, but it's in the works. Thank you. We waited a long time for that. Yes, you have.

The um I want to talk a little bit about as you know our ASA um our u plan was just approved through OA and we had a lot of a lot of conversation about response times and everything and I appreciate you being TVFR being there at our meetings to talk about this. Well, one of the things uh we're concerned about obviously on a state level as well is the Medicaid reimbursement rate. And I know that for instance in Mcmminville, I have a meeting next week with the chief. There's a concern about being able to maintain that. How are you maintaining it? We're trying to deal with it at the state level, but you're not getting enough money to to keep your ambulance programs solvent because the Medicaid reimbursement rate is just so abysmal. How are you are you lobbying? Do you have any extra resource options? Yeah. So, um we are challenged by that like any transport agency is in the state of Oregon with the reimbursement rates being set at a level that's not sufficient to provide the service or to reimburse for the total cost of the service. Um now we um we have uh transport as you well know in Yam Hill County and other parts of the county we are are under contract or we or we provide transport only when when AMR has service level demands that we can jump in and help out. But in Yanville County where we do provide transport um yeah we rely heavily on GMT which is ground emergency management transport reimbursement program. Um and uh we are in discussions and through our affiliation with the Oregon Fire Chiefs Association, we have been working on and we have worked uh as recently as last session on ways to um make changes to the reimbursement program that could help us sustain the service.

Thank you. Y I'll stop. Yeah. Okay. No,

proceed. Yeah. So just uh with the stations just uh so super happy that we're getting to build these new stations. Some of in some cases I think they're long overdue. Um but in these new stations just so you know we're trying to make sure that we build them big enough to where we can add future apparatus if needed. We we have found ourselves in the past wishing we had some bigger stations um because when call volume goes up and the demand for service increases over time because of population growth. Uh we have a need for additional resources and rather than build another station we can sometimes add another apparatus to the existing station

and and make it uh um make it a dual company house for example which you already have in Newberg. So, um, so there's that. And then the other piece we're trying to do is to make sure that, um, we're building our stations in a way, uh, both new stations and remodels, uh, to kind of further protect the firefighters from from contaminants. And while we've been kind of in this in practice for some time at most of our stations, now we're building it into new designs. So, we really have a hot zone and a warm zone and a cold zone. And that's helping our crews realize that turnouts that are dirty stay over here. And then um equipment that we use daily is over here. And then none of that is inside the station. So um so we're kind of building that into our new stations just just uh to add another layer of of health protection for the firefighters.

And you brought up renovations. I know 21's going to go uh have a partial renovation. Correct. Plated for remodel. Can you just touch on that just a little bit? what they're going to upgrade or change. Um, what do you know about the rebound?

The little bit that I know is um as a part of the rebuild of station 20. Um, we are very close if not have started. Um, I think it's maybe in May is when the RFP for 21s is going to go out. Um so it we're we're trying to get the timing such that as soon as 20s is completed then 21s will be ready to go. Um but one of the temporary sites for I believe a medic will be at 21s. Um but as far as what the we know for sure that one will be a remodel. Um we'll continue to use the existing structure but the design layout is still in the works.

Okay. Thank you.

Thank you. All right. Uh let's see here. Okay. Next slide, please. Last uh thing to uh cover then happy to answer any questions if we can is on struggle. Well, um, so this is a program that, uh, we have, uh, been involved in and invested in since 2022, working with Boulder Crest Foundation, uh, to get all of our people, firefighters and day staff as well through at least a two-day workshop around firefighter wellness and post-traumatic uh, growth. So, we have post-traumatic stress. Um, and all of us deal with trauma in different ways. And stress is not uncommon on and off duty. Uh, firefighters typically ha have more PTSD than does the general population. We we know that and that's been the case for many years. And so, this is one effort to help address that. So, but this is unlike other things we've done in the past where this is really about identifying what that trauma is and then finding new ways to approach it through kind of a mindset. So, you can trauma can be can can slow you down. It can also be an opportunity to learn and to grow when you frame it up that way and understand and have tools along with that to help you identify and turn that trauma into growth. U I've been through both the 4-day class and the two-day class. Uh and um it has been for me remarkable. It's been I've been through several of these over the years as we've tried different things. Um and uh but this has really been for me anyway um educational journey about the value of this training. uh and we're having some real

success with our people who really are dealing deeply with PTSD or been diagnosed with PTSD. And uh so that is and for us success is having them stay on the job because they want to stay on the job. They want to continue working and finish their career. And if we can bridge that gap through this program and other resources too that we have peer support, clinician support, then uh then we're really doing a great service to our to our people and the community that we serve. So um we are really excited about this. So much in fact that we tried in the last session to get some state investment to expand the program out to um uh first responders in Washington County. Uh remember that all of our new firefighters are going through this as well. But um we were not successful in that last session, but we are talking right now about making another effort in the next session to receive some funding to expand this training two-day training to first responders um in uh in Washington County and possibly our shoulder, you know, our other communities as well. So um I think we talked a little about that at the community academy. So um uh super excited about the program. we are having success. Um, and the goal for us is to get everybody through it. Um, right now we're about 40 45% of our folks have gone through it. So, um, but we're going to keep working working till we get everybody through this program. So, I think that's the end of what I have. So, be happy to answer any questions or current.

I don't really have many questions. I lived it here just recently on just a small piece of what you guys have to go through on a daily basis. And I really do appreciate the opportunity and and and thank you for that consistency to keep pushing and pushing for the invites to get us out there because it really is uh worth to to have that hands-on experience of of just the minuscule portion of what we can go through as a community academy and that you guys go on through a full tilt basis every day. Um, and I definitely uh will be true to my word about my second invite back because I definitely would want to be uh stationed somewhere um other than Newberg just to really get kind of that o over full experience. Newberg was great. It was good to experience it but actually get where there's a lot of calls and and experience that cuz when we did the debrief the following morning it was uh definitely a different experience for some people that came in uh um the next morning. So, have you have you done it at all?

I've not done one of those yet. No, you you would definitely enjoy it. Yeah. But love love for all of me. You've done it yet. Love to have you. And uh right now we're doing it twice a year. Our current fall um academy um is uh kind of yet to be determined because uh one of the works we're doing with our bond money is remodeling our training center. And so we're not sure we're going to have a location, but we'll we'll figure it out. We'll make sure that you're on the list of Yeah, that'd be great. I grew up next to that training center. So,

yeah, it's also due for a remodel. So, working on that, but so much appreciate you um joining us. Um and the feedback that you gave us the next morning that really is important to us and we we get good feedback, but also like how we can do things different or better, but your experience feedback is really important. So, appreciate that. Yep. Absolutely. And we'll get you a busier station with me. Beaverton. Yeah, Beaverton just fine. So the last thing we have is just um if you're interested QR code to watch a video uh it's five minutes long I guess but um fire chief talking about kind of recapping some of the things we talked about. So it's available to you if you if you want I've got a quick question for you. Um

well first of all thank you for the effort towards the mental health part of it. I know my neighbor was a Portland fireman and he come home and you know some days were really hard. So I I I've seen that, you know, through him firsthand. So thank you for that that effort and I always appreciate that towards first responders. Um with your specialty programs that you're having with your your smaller teams. Um are you seeing much success in that in caller and lower call volumes or lower transports? I know that that's you know kind of the goal, right? Is to is have it is if that's where Yeah. 87% of your

Yeah. Yeah, 2% was was from from those types of things. Are you seeing lower in education or is it still too new?

Um, we are seeing I don't have hard numbers, but we are we do have some of those. We just didn't bring them for this presentation. Uh, I could do a follow-up piece on actual numbers, but um, we are we are data informed and so we're tracking that data and and we're seeing some success especially in the APCP side with our high utilizers. We know who they are. We know where they're at. very well documented and we're seeing reductions in how often they are entering into the the 911 system uh through our effort. So, we know that's working. Um the piece about um outreach to uh care homes that is just getting underway. So, hopefully next year I can bring some data on that that'll be helpful um to show that program is working. I think it will work. And then um nurse navigation is also fairly new, but we do have some numbers on that and seeing some success. Um our dispatchers are are thoughtful and professional and really don't want to use that service unless they really feel like it's the best service for that caller. Um and so part of it is just having a comfort level and training and protocol for our dispatchers to uh more often use nurse navigation under their protocols. and we'll get there.

Thank you. Thank you both very much. Thanks for coming. Thanks for your time.

All right, that brings us to E, which is public comment. There's somebody with a public comment. Raise your hand and we'll get you a card filled out. If you're online, raise your virtual hand.

Got a lot of phone calls from commissioners and AOC just um of work that's been going on and was really interesting. always love getting conversations with other commissioners. Um, and let's see, where else do I want to go here? Another really good conversation with Gustavo, our field rep from Senator Mkeley's um office, setting up several tours, um coming up for him uh with local businesses that he's uh interested in in just reaching out to as far as the senator's office is concerned. And um I think we all have a pretty busy weekend coming up in Juliet's house. Uh um I'm cooking for Lutheran Family Services for the um an auction item that that they put out every year and uh Cinco de Mayo parade. So looking forward to this weekend. Nice.

Commissioner Start.

Thank you, Chair. We uh as you know, Yamh Hill County was chosen as a a pilot site for the overdose fatality review committee and it's been very successful. Unfortunately, um there have been so many overdoses. We we had a number of them last week. But what we do in this group and we have the DA, we have um the DA's office, Community Justice, we have Oregon Health Authority, we have parole and probation, provoking hope. Anyone who has touched has a touch point for an overdose fatality in our county sits at the table and we get to talk about particular people as individuals from the trajectory of their lives from their youth, their criminality, incarceration where we could have stepped in. And I have to say I've never seen anything that is more encouraging um with the fact that there is no stone left unturned. I mean, you see people sitting around the table who've uh dealt with individuals that now we're discussing who have have overdosed and um they cry and they talk about how close they were to thinking that this person was going to actually make it. And uh it's it's it's absolutely heartwarming to see that we are in Yamill County doing an enormous work to make sure that these don't happen. But unfortunately, they do. We're seeing the increase in in fentanyl. We're seeing what's coming up from the southern border and going to Seattle. That's where the distribution is happening and uh talk about the quality, talk about all of these, you know, interdictions, those types of things. Yesterday was fentanyl awareness day and nobody is immune from this. Just the tiniest amount can uh can result in a death. I do want to say uh a very special appreciation to provoking hopes Aaron Lopez. There is something called the core program which through provoking hope is now in throughout the state and what this does is it basically just

getting to people while they're incarcerated and and helping them re-entry because this is a point where they're going to typically uh start to use again. So Provoking Hope uh partners with all of these it's the only program that operates statewide. They've been begun working with the Oregon Youth Authority to work with them on overdose issues and giving them training about just getting involved in not getting involved in gangs. They're working with Oregon Department of Corrections, Oregon Health Authority to train adults in custody um to be peer support workers when they get out. So, I I think that what we need to get out there is that there is so much being done in Yamill County that's not being done anywhere else. And that is because everybody has shown that they have not only the capacity but the acuity to do it and it's very impressive. Also, H housing authority had their annual uh board retreat and just to talk about the number of potential housing development opportunities. Unbelievable. They just finished Stratus and they're hitting the ground running on some of the other projects throughout uh throughout the county that they would like that they would like to uh to do. So, there's a lot of long range planning and I I do appreciate the housing authority very much. Uh, also we uh Commissioner Johnston and I were at um FCI for the uh sheriff's volunteer appreciation. Really impressive statistics. We've got 22,000 volunteer hours which would net to about $821,000 and 11 FTEEs. But you've got everyone from CERT, from the amateur radio folks, from search and rescue and um just just a a lot of very very hard and what a great dinner.

Yep. Yeah, it was good. I'm good.

Okay. All right. Thank you. Uh last Friday, uh we had a presentation by Andrew Sel's office for an $850,000 check to continue to help support that CTE program out there in that new building. Uh before the building is built, they're actually going to start uh working on the medic CTE program uh cuz they believe they can get that done on a temporary basis. And they also have their CDL, truck driving simulator actually in a truck and trailer now. So that they're portable and they can uh start that program also. So, even though the building's not there, they are moving forward with the CTE programs, which is good. And thank you to Andrew Selenus's office for advocating and getting the 850 grand to Sheridan. Um, Monday, uh, the clerk put on our ballot test of our voting machines and we passed, uh, with, uh, flying colors. Uh, Tuesday was MAC city council meeting. Uh, I think the biggest takeaway from there was that uh they had a presentation of rough cost to remodel the current rec center and it sounds like it uh because the dollar figures are so high that they're going to uh not pursue that but pursue what it looks like to uh put a new rec center on the bond um on the ballot again. Sheridan budget uh meeting is I wrote down tonight at 6 PM. Is that right, Kale? Yeah. Starts 6 PM tonight. If you're into budgets, head on out to Sheridan. Chat with the chairs next Thursday at the government services building at 6:00 p.m. in the Mount Hood uh conference room. Uh we have an AOC District 6 meeting tomorrow to discuss uh recommendations to the governor's appointment for regional solution advisory committee. Um, I want to mention real quick that Juliet's House is has one uh 8person table left and you can buy that table at Juliet

Juliet'shouse.org till 5:00 p.m. tonight. So, there's one table left if anybody wants to go to their dinner auction which will be on Friday at Abbey Road Farm. Um, and with that, that's all I have and I'm going to close this out unless there's anything else good for the order. Nope. All right. Thank
