Seeking applicants for civil service commission

The Sisters-Camp Sherman Rural Fire Protection District invites qualified voters of the fire district interested in serving on the Civil Service Commission to submit letters of interest and applications to the Board of Directors of the Sisters-Camp Sherman Rural Fire Protection District.

Civil Service for Firefighters is covered by Oregon Revised Statute (ORS) 242.702-242.824. The Civil Service Commission is made up of three citizens of the district who are not members of the board or employees of the district. They are independent individuals appointed by the board for an uncompensated term of four years.

Primary responsibilities include working cooperatively with the board of directors and fire chief to maintain a current list of all classifications and grades of civil service positions within the district, overseeing proper administration of all civil service exams, and maintaining a current database of all employees holding civil service positions within the district. Commissioners also adopt and oversee the proper administration of the Rules relating to conducting civil service exams, appointments, promotions, demotions, transfers, reinstatements, suspensions, and discharges for civil service positions.

Two positions are open for appointment. The Fire District must receive letters before December 1. Letters may be sent P.O. Box 1509, Sisters, OR 97759. Applications can be obtained via the district’s website https://www.sistersfire.com/employment/ or in person at 301 S. Elm St. in Sisters.
