Per the direction of the Membership at our General Meeting on January 14, 2010 we conducted a department wide phone poll to determine the consesus on the 2010 Bid Process. A motion was made to poll our Members to ask whether they wanted "In-shift" bids or no bids at all. The Executive Board is meeting with Administration on January 19, 2010 to present these results along with a counter-proposal for the bid process, should the Fire Chief decide to go through with the bids. We would like to thank Brothers; Richard Sanchez, Justin Cheney, Santos Baca, Jose Sedillo, Manny Valenzuela, Martin Salazar, and Sean Frazier for volunteering to conduct the poll. The results are as follows:

326 no bid - 159 in-shift bid
