As a result of the merger of Kittitas County Fire Protection District No. 8 into Snoqualmie Pass Fire & Rescue in 2017 the Board of Commissioners of Snoqualmie Pass Fire & Rescue presently consists of six (6) commissioners. Under state law the number of commissioners will gradually be reduced to three (3) unless the voters authorize an increase to five.
If the voters approve this Proposition, the Board of Commissioners of T Snoqualmie Pass Fire & Rescue will consist of five commissioners each of whom will serve six-year terms.
Maintaining the size of the Board of Commissioners with five members will allow for increased citizen representation, greater public participation and will allow for more effective governance under the Open Public Meetings Act.
