Talk:Puget Sound Regional Fire Authority

Make the page better
Hello, I work in a leadership capacity at the Puget Sound Regional Fire Authority (PSRFA) and I would like to improve the refresh cadence of this page.

Please let me know if there are any objections. Mightysw (talk) 21:59, 29 March 2023 (UTC)

Also, I would appreciate it if the "This article has multiple issues" Template could be removed. The basis for this being a response to the discussion to delete and comment by talk user SounderBruce:

Hello, I'm unsure why you are the only person advocating the deletion of the PSRFA page, but I would like to justify it. We are currently the 2nd largest Fire Department in Washington State, and simply because the news wasn't around when we were officially accredited as an RFA (The same can probably be said about Renton and Fire District 40 - Renton RFA, Federal Way and Des Moines - South King Fire and Rescue, Burien and Highline - Same Name, Auburn and Algona / Pacific - Valley Regional Fire Authority) should not be the single reason for its dismissal.

Also, only some city entities have entered into a contract for fire services agreement (known as an 'ILA' or Inter local agreement) with these RFAs so asking the municipalities to comment about the affairs of or maintain a connection to their fire departments is not prudent or reasonable to their constituents, since the RFAs are self governed and run by their respective local unions. ILA municipalities pay to ensure the RFAs maintain the city's departments just as if they were a member of the RFA. The difference between and ILA and RFA membership is legal semantics. RFA membership turns over all assets from the municipality / district to the RFA, and in turn the municipality / district will be provisioned a board governance seat. These board members can oversee and vote on all forwarded agenda items brought forth to the RFAs and establish mandates for the good of the RFAs and their constituents, as board personnel must be elected officials. The RFA has the sole ability to control how they are funded from the voters in the 'zone' through a fire benefit charges and lid lifts. Both are voted into law.

I'm urging you to allow changes to this page and to remove it from any potential deletion status. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mightysw (talk • contribs) 23:02, 29 March 2023 (UTC)
