Welcome 
SEPTEMBER
We will have representatives from Kaiser and Lockton at our September lunch to highlight changes to health insurance for 2027. We will also have someone there to talk about the status of the Health Care Trust.
We also want to take a moment to remember the 343 firefighters who died on 9/11 as well as the almost 3000 civilians who also were killed. There are many forms of remembrance that take place on that date and we need to make sure those individuals are never forgotten.
September is also when we honor firefighters at the IAFF Fallen Firefighter Memorial in Colorado Springs on September 19th. This truly is something every firefighter should experience.

COLA ADVOCACY GROUPWe are passing along this letter from Joe Hart who has been working to achieve COLA's fro the New Hires.Retired DPD Captain, Jennifer Steck is doing awesome work with CORA requests and data analysis to find out what FPPA is doing with the fund. She has identified several accounting practices that I believe could make a significant difference in FPPA policy toward COLAs. The Retired Denver Police Officers are supporting her financially in her effort; we owe them gratitude and appreciation.We also owe Local 858 gratitude for backing our effort to explore legal pathways to get FPPA opened up to serious COLA discussion.We are still hoping that IAFF and Colorado Professional Firefighters will see their way toward supporting this effort.Though I am willing to discuss specifics I would like you to log onto the "Substack account" that Jennifer has established for communication to our group:Please pass this information on to anyone you can think of that would be interested.When you log on to the acct. I found that if you hit the subscribe button at the end it created a problem for me so I bypassed it and was able to read all of the information. By logging onto the acct. Jennifer has more constituents to represent. It lends more weight to her arguments with FPPA. SO PLEASE LOG ON.For those of you that want more in-depth information she provides a link to Google Docs.
