SUBJECT;
LIFE INSURANCE FOR VOLUNTEER FIREFIGHTERS
SPECIFIC REQUEST S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION•
Accept staff recommendation that Volunteer Firefighters . continue in their
current status of not receiving benefits, including life insurance.
BACKGROUND:
Based upon a request of a volunteer firefighter and Supervisor Torlakson,
the Finance Committee was asked to review the issue of life insurance for
volunteer firefighters. See the attached staff report.
Staff recommended that the current situation be continued, so as to not
cloud the issue of volunteer versus employee status, and so as not to
create a precedent that could prove very costly. The chiefs of the East ;
Diablo and Byron Districts supported this recommendation.
Instead, if individual volunteer firefighters or groups of volunteers are
interested in life insurance, they should be encouraged to pursue it on an
individual basis.
