Following is the process for the upcoming 2024 Executive Board Elections.
Members interested in running for a position shall use “Contact the E-Board” tab found on the Union website homepage. In the comments section declare the position desired. Prior to the next General Membership meeting, August/September, an Executive Board Member will contact interested parties to ensure commitment. At the General Membership meeting your name and desired position will be announced. Post announcement, a member must officially nominate the individual for the position desired. Additionally another member must Second the nomination. Once a candidate has been nominated and seconded they are now officially entered into consideration for the position. If there is only one candidate for a given office, such candidate shall be declared elected by acclamation. If the number of candidates exceeds the number of positions, then a runoff election will occur. Elections shall be held using the current online, web based, voting system. Write in voting shall not be permitted. Should a runoff occur, the candidate receiving a majority of the ballots case shall be declared elected.
Election/Re-Election for consideration:
President – 2 year term
Vice President – 2 year term
Secretary – 2 year term
Treasurer – 2 year term
3 of 5 trustee positions – 4 year term
Brothers and Sisters,
On July 5 an email was sent to “All Users” from Hedieh Khajavi, the COT Human Resource Director. It presents an Employee Feedback Survey. She has reached out to me personally, respectfully requesting TFFA participation. She stated that the City Manager reads every single submission. The survey takes 5 minutes. If you feel your voice has not been heard by our Fire Chief/Command Staff, now is your chance to make the CM aware. Possible topics:
- Locution/Room Alert
- Apparatus maintenance issues.
- Station rodent infestation
- Station repairs/updates.
- Costly repairs and remodeling at an unreasonably slow rate.
- Investing time in maintaining old and new apparatus without adequate storage.
- Paramedic units are forced by command staff to transport patients, violating current agreements.
