your vote to continue to serve on the Keizer Rural Fire Protection District
Board of Directors Position #2. While serving you the last four years, Ive been
privileged to get to know the dedicated Volunteers and Career Staff protecting
us. It has been a busy four years. We have had calls
for a service increase annually. We have successfully bargained a Labor
Contract with our Career Firefighters. Volunteers continue to join the District
annually, and all attend training weekly. Our emergency response time to your
home, when needed, remains well under established standards. In 2002, Keizer voters supported a levy to
purchase of an Ambulance, a Fire Engine and to maintain our level of service.
Since its passage, Ive continued to explore ways to operate without future
levies. With the Board, I am vigilant in watching the City of Keizer, Marion
County Fire District #1 and most recently the City of Salem to maintain our
timely and safe operation. More needs to be done, and if reelected I will
strive to find a way to maintain our high level of service delivery within the
Tax Base. I remain excited about the opportunity to serve
you and to work with the dedicated career staff, volunteers and Board members
of the Keizer Fire District. Please vote and reelect Joe Van Meter to Position
# 2 on The Keizer Fire District Board. (This
