CANBY FIRE DISTRICT BOARD OF DIRECTORS MESSAGE:

Many members of the Canby community are aware of their Canby Fire Department. They see them drive by, see them at schools and in the community, and in times of trouble receive their wonderful assistance. However many members of the Canby community know little of the Canby Fire Board of Directors. This Message from the Board is intended to briefly inform the reader of the make-up of the Canby Fire District Board of Directors.

The Board of Canby Fire District consists of five (5) members serving four (4) year staggered terms. Board Members must be property owners in the District. Four (4) Board Members represent geographical zones in the District where their property is located and one (1) Member represents the District as a whole

Board Members are elected by a vote of the people in the particular geographical zone. Individuals interested in running for a Board position must meet certain qualifications. Once the qualifications are satisfied, the candidates are placed on a ballot and a general election determines the winner of that particular geographic zone for that Board position. Elections are conducted pursuant to Oregon law. The elected Board Member is sworn into the Board position, attends a work session to acquaint them with the facilities, equipment, personnel, and Board policies, and assumes the duties of the position. Unless filling a vacancy on the Board, terms of office start officially on July 1st.
