09:14 AM -- Bill 2

Kevin Lindahl, General Counsel, FPPA, described the provisions of proposed Bill 2 (Attachment B) concerning FPPA retired board member term extension. He said that the bill will extend the term of the retired firefighter or police officer serving as a member of the FPPA Board of Directors from a four-year term to a six-year term. He noted that the Board of Directors believes that an extended term for the rotating membership will be valuable to the FPPA because of the learning curve required for board participation. He added that the Board of Directors is currently composed of nine members, and said that new members of the board typically spend approximately two years of the term just "getting up to speed." The bill will give the person serving to represent retired police officers and firefighters more time to become valuable board members.
