Emergency services director previews new facility and open house before retirement
Summary
Russell Stoi gave a final staff update, saying the county moved into a new emergency facility, 911 equipment is scheduled, and the department will host an open house and ribbon cutting on Aug. 27; he discussed ongoing handoff and EOC tabletop exercises.
Russell Stoi, the county’s emergency services director and fire chief, delivered a final staff update ahead of his retirement and said crews have moved into the new facility. He told commissioners 911 equipment is scheduled for installation and testing on Aug. 17 and that the contractor will finish landscaping and punch‑list items later this month.
"We're going to have our open house on the 27th. You should have got the flyer for that ribbon cutting," Stoi said, inviting commissioners to attend. Stoi described recent tabletop exercises in the EOC that included city and county staff, the Red Cross and emergency management partners; he also said he is working to close open maintenance‑contract issues with vendors before leaving and that he is coordinating a handoff to his successor so operations continue smoothly.
Stoi thanked commissioners for their support of the emergency services team and described continuing work on mutual‑aid coordination, forestry burn‑mitigation activities and fleet put‑into‑service tasks. Commissioners congratulated Stoi and wished him well.
