Three Cities Fire and Emergency Services Project

The Center for Public Service worked with Fairview, Troutdale and Wood Village ("Three Cities") to analyze the services provided under the Gresham Fire and Emergency Services IGA. The purpose of this project was threefold:

To understand the operational, financial and revenue realities that structure fire/EMS service for the Three Cities (Fairview, Troutdale and Wood Village);
To propose alternatives and options for service delivery to the Three Cities ("Menu of Options);
To help the Three Cities diligently prepare for future service delivery arrangements for fire/EMS services.
