Fire Chief David Downey has submitted a letter, dated July 8, 2015, requesting the IAFF Local 244 City Chapter Membership reconsider our conditional support for the AFD Deputy Chief/Assistant Chief Reorganization initiative outlined in the letter dated May 14, 2015 (click PDF links below). This issue will be placed on the agenda for tomorrow’s General Membership Meeting, Thursday, July 9, 2015 at 10:00am at the Union Hall. This action will require two (2) motions; 1) Membership approval of reconsideration/renewal to amend the original motion, since the body has already taken action on the matter (requires a two-thirds vote). 2) Motion to accept the Chief’s amendments/recommendations and give the IAFF Local 244 President the authority to execute the Memorandum of Understanding and prepare for a ratification vote.
