Summary
Mayor DeVere told the council he has been in talks about combining neighboring fire departments with District #7 and said he "believes it is time for the Town to do so," asking two committees to study the idea further.
Mayor DeVere, presiding over the South Cle Elum Town Council on Feb. 17, 2026, said he has been involved in discussions about neighboring fire departments combining with District #7 and "believes it is time for the Town to do so." He presented the topic as an item for further study rather than a formal proposal.
