I read with interest the article in this newspaper about the city of Washougal's plans to explore the feasibility of outsourcing the work now performed by employees in its public works department. Affected public works employees would most likely be laid off and the work would be done by employees or contractors working for the outsource company. Having written about outsourcing in the legal industry and having led a delegation of lawyers to India to meet with companies doing outsourced work, I was quite surprised and concerned. I sent emails to the mayor and members of the City Council and started a Facebook page (Don't Outsource Washougal). The Mayor and one council member responded to my emails and Mayor Guard even weighed in on the Facebook page.
Washougal Fire Department and East County Fire & Rescue have sent a handful of personnel to fight wildfires in central Washington over the last month. Washougal sent four of its firefighters, including two paid staff -- Butch Steigmann and Chris Kassel -- and two volunteers -- Adam Strobeck and Rick Nieto -- to the Taylor Bridge wildfire in Cle Elum. ECFR sent three to Taylor Bridge, including Fire Chief Scott Koehler, Deputy Fire Chief Dean Thornberry and Finance Manager Tammy Dinius. Koehler and Thornberry were sent out to Brewster almost a month ago. On their drive home, they were called to help at a fire in the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest.
