Commission names Fire Chief Malcolm Bufkin as acting Stevens County fire marshal under interlocal agreement
Summary
Commission approved an interlocal agreement to have Breckenridge Fire Chief Malcolm Bufkin serve as acting Stevens County fire marshal on an interim basis after the county's fire marshal/constable passed away.
The Breckenridge City Commission approved an interlocal agreement naming Breckenridge Fire Chief Malcolm Bufkin as the acting Stevens County fire marshal on an interim basis.
The county requested the arrangement after the death of Constable and fire marshal Wayne Napoleon. City staff said Chief Bufkin and county officials discussed the role and that Chief Bufkin indicated the added duties would not require a substantial amount of additional work beyond his current responsibilities.
The interlocal arrangement was described as temporary; county officials did not provide a specific time frame for how long Chief Bufkin would serve. Commissioners approved the agreement by voice vote with no opposition recorded. The matter is intended to provide continuity of fire-marshal functions for the county while they evaluate longer-term staffing options.
The agreement does not appear to change Chief Bufkin's city employment terms; staff said the interim role is meant to bridge a short-term operational need for the county.
