SUBJECT: Life Insurance for Volunteer Fire fighters
FROM:' H.G. Patton, Commissioner BFPD
At the Commission meeting on February 9 , 1988 , the
Commission voted to provide life insurance for the volunteer
fire fighters.
The policy will be written to the California Stiate Fire
Fighters Association and will be for a benefit amount not to
exceed $25, 000 per person. The policy will cover fire fighters
on and off duty. The effective date is to be July 1, 1988 .
The cost to the District is not to exceed $5 ,000 per year.
Wallice Partridge will write the policy. He will not receive
a commission from the Association or District (Wally is a
District fire fighter) . The insurance policy and its
appropriateness will be reviewed annually by the Commissioners .
Itis our intent that the funds come from the District budget.
It is our intention to proceed with this action unless
the County offices or Supervisors deem it inappropriate.
Please contact us promptly if this is the case -
Sincerely yours,
H. G. Patton
