Brothers and Sisters,
 

This week we begin with the renewal of the Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER) Grant Program to hire and retain fire fighters, buy modern equipment, and provide training to keep members safe. This funding affects our contract cities and many of our neighboring Departments. 

This is a critical funding source that ensures our communities are protected by properly staffed and appropriately equipped fire departments. Local 1014, through the IAFF and together with our affiliated unions, is committed to ensuring that our members get the funding we need from every level of government to keep our Firefighters and our communities safe. 

The Local 1014 Citizens Initiative Moves to The Board of Supervisors 

Following the qualification for the ballot last week, Local 1014 has been moving full speed ahead with the Board of Supervisors with our motion to adopt the measure scheduled to appear on the July 16th meeting agenda. We will have a bigger update next week as we continue to meet with the Supervisors and the CEO on this critical funding for the future of our Department. 

As always, thank you to our members for your continued support as we move to the next phase of this measure and securing our future.
