3 Re: REORGANIZATION OF DISTRICTS Resolution # as Amended Whereas, The Re-Districting Committee met August 14 th and 15 th, 2007 pursuant to 2007 convention discussions relative to Resolution Serving on the committee were 4 th District Vice-President Tim McDonnell, Doug Gargis Mishawaka L360, Marvin Brown Gary L359, Shawn Staton Richmond L1408, Orbie Bowles Carmel L4444, Rich Lau Hendricks County L4406, Paul Anslinger Evansville L357, and Randy Adams Indianapolis Metro L416. Secretary-Treasurer Mike Pinkham provided technical assistance; and Whereas, District boundaries, affiliate servicing issues, and the organizational structure of the PFFUI Executive Board has been the subject of much discussion and numerous convention resolutions as well as several previous committees deliberations for nearly a decade without significant resolve; and Whereas, The simple district boundary lines presently in existence have been in effect for as long as anyone can remember, possibly extending as far back as the origins of the organization, and divide individual counties in part and do not consider ease of travel within the districts given present highways. This problem is particularly evident in the southern one-half of the state, primarily the present 3 rd District which also contains the largest number of individual affiliate Locals. Such travel difficulties present hindrances to a District Vice-President s ability to efficiently and effectively communicate and provide needed services to member affiliates as well as being a barrier in and of itself for the affiliate Locals themselves to easily meet together in any location for District Meetings. Committee members analyzed the Districts using maps generated from IAFF G.I.S. technology illustrating affiliate locations, sizes, and taking into account travel considerations within the districts using interstates and state highways; and Whereas, The structure of the Executive Board has also remained largely unchanged since the organization s establishment and is not wholly reflective of the definitions of officers duties as stated in the Constitution and By- Laws and in keeping with changes evident in the IAFF itself and also in neighboring state associations that might prove of better service and accountability. Therefore Be It Resolved, That the Committee recommends the Professional Fire Fighters Union of Indiana implement the following changes effective with the passage of this resolution and the election of Executive Board officers at the 2009 Convention in accordance with these provisions as adopted for the newly created 5 th and 6 th Districts. Districts: The present district lines would be replaced by county affiliations within specific districts and the present four (4) districts would be modified such that six (6) districts would exist. The district boundaries will be outlined later and illustrated on attached state maps. Executive Board: The Executive Board will consist of a President, a Vice-President, a Secretary-Treasurer, and Six (6) District Vice- Presidents, pending a detailed cost analysis and action at the 2009 convention, which must be the first order of business, the status of the Trustees as members of the Board will be addressed. Trustees: The positions of Trustees will remain. There will continue to be one Trustee elected from each District, thus there will be six (6) Trustees. The Trustees duties will continue to be as defined in the Constitution and By-Laws in that they will audit the financial records of the organization and serve as the Registration / Credentials Committee at the annual PFFUI Convention. The District Trustee shall assume all duties of the District Vice-President in the absence of the District Vice-President. The intent is that they will be brought together once annually at the convention. The financial records would be audited once per year, at the convention, or at other times the Executive Board deems desirable including upon any change in the individual Secretary-Treasurer.

4 The re-districting of the current districts proposed is summarized as follows and will be illustrated on maps of the state: District 1, presently with 17 Locals, will not lose any Locals and will remain largely unchanged although it will be better defined along specific county lines. District 2, presently with 20 Locals, will lose 2 Locals (Hamilton County Local 4416, Carmel Local 4444), and the counties, or parts of counties, of Hamilton, Fountain, Montgomery, Boone, Hancock and Union Counties to newly created District 5. District 3, presently with 25 Locals, will undergo the greatest makeover moving Fayette (Connersville Local 2205), Hendricks (Hendricks County Local 4406), Johnson (White River Local 4252, Franklin Local 3433), Montgomery (Crawfordsville Local 4143), Morgan (Morgan County Local 4555, Martinsville Local 4214), Parke, Putnam, Rush (Rushville Local 1734), Shelby (Shelbyville Local 2008), and Vermillion counties to newly created District 5. District 3 will also move Monroe (Bloomington Local 586), Lawrence (Bedford Local 728), Clark (Clarksville Local 2594, Jeffersonville Local 558), Floyd (New Albany Local 410), Jackson (Seymour Local 577), Bartholomew (Columbus Local 2190), Orange, Crawford, Harrison, Washington, Brown, Jennings, Scott, Jefferson, Switzerland, Ohio, Dearborn, and Ripley to newly created District 6. District 4 will be designated simply as Marion County. District 5 will be created and consist of the following counties: Boone, Fayette (Connersville Local 2205), Fountain, Hamilton (Hamilton County Local 4416, Carmel Local 4444), Hancock, Hendricks (Hendricks County Local 4406), Johnson (White River Local 4252, Franklin Local 3433), Montgomery (Crawfordsville Local 4143) Morgan (Morgan County Local 4555, Martinsville Local 4214), Parke, Putnam, Rush (Rushville Local 1734), Shelby (Shelbyville Local 2008), Union and Vermillion counties. District 6 will be created primarily from the current eastern half of District 3 and consist of Monroe (Bloomington Local 586), Lawrence (Bedford Local 728), Clark (Clarksville Local 2594, Jeffersonville Local 558), Floyd (New Albany Local 410), Jackson (Seymour Local 577), Bartholomew (Columbus Local 2190), Orange, Crawford, Harrison, Washington, Brown, Jennings, Scott, Jefferson, Switzerland, Ohio, Dearborn, and Ripley.

6 Resolution # Re: SALARIES OF PRINCIPAL OFFICERS Whereas, Resolution 2 adopted at the 2004 PFFUI convention was the last time this body considered compensation afforded the principal officers enacting the recommendations of a salary review committee establishing annual salaries and expense allowances for the principal officers as follows: President Secretary-Treasurer Vice-President = 55% Highest Affiliated Firefighter s Pension Base = 40% Highest Affiliated Firefighter s Pension Base = 35% Highest Affiliated Firefighter s Pension Base Expense Allotments for principal officers: Mileage = IRS Rate No Per Diems for in-state activities, expenses incurred = actual expense Travel Allotment not to exceed $75 per day for out-of-state activities Lobbyist Activities Expense Allotments: The President, and those representatives authorized by him, shall receive an additional $100 per day taxable allotment per day for days actively spent lobbying the Indiana General Assembly. Whereas, The salaries of the employees of the PFFUI for calendar year 2007 were: President: $30, Lobbying Allotment $6,500 = $37, Vice-President: $19, Lobbying Allotment $4,500 = $24, Office Assistant: $22, Secretary-Treasurer: $22, Legislative Asst. $6, Lobbying Allotment $5,400 = $11, Whereas, These amounts reveal an inconsistency in the intended compensation level of the Secretary-Treasurer relative to other employees; Therefore, Be It Resolved, That the compensation percentage applied to the Secretary-Treasurer be increased to an amount equal to 45% of the highest affiliated firefighter s pension base and that this increase take effect upon passage. Cost Factor: None (Funded by elimination of Legislative Assistant position) Committee Assignment: Constitution & By-Laws Committee Recommendation: Adopt Convention Action: Adopted Submitted by: The PFFUI Executive Board

7 Resolution # Re: AFFILIATE INFORMATION DATABASE Whereas, In order for our Local Affiliates to bargain effectively they must have accurate and verifiable information for comparisons; and Whereas, The PFFUI has attempted to act as such a clearinghouse for affiliates however many Locals have proven negligent in responding to requests for information such as electronic copies of their collective bargaining agreements and completion of simple surveys; and Whereas, The IAFF has started it s own online Labor Information Database, available only to affiliates that have provided the IAFF with a copy of their current salary schedule, MOU or contract; and Whereas, Something needs to be done to motivate affiliates to respond to requests for sharable information; Therefore, Be It Resolved, That the PFFUI will only share collective bargaining and other survey information with affiliates that have electronically filed their current collective bargaining agreement, contract, memorandum of understanding, or salary schedule as applicable and responded to the most recent PFFUI request for information survey. Cost Factor: None Committee Assignment: Policy Committee Recommendation: Adopt Convention Action: Adopted Submitted by: The PFFUI Executive Board

8 Resolution # Re: LINE OF DUTY DEATH COMMITTEE Whereas, Although we have been fortunate not to have incurred a fire fighter line of duty death in some years and we hope not to ever do so again, we would be wise to be prepared for such an occurrence through the development of policies and recommended protocols; and Whereas, Our Constitution and By-Laws allow for financial assistance to Locals incurring Line of Duty Death funeral expenses upon their request, but are silent regarding any other form of assistance or guidance; and Whereas, The affected affiliated Local is likely to be overwhelmed by the tragedy and in need of immediate guidance; Therefore, Be It Resolved, That the President of the PFFUI appoint a committee to review Line of Duty Death protocols including assistance provided by Locals, State Associations, the IAFF, and other Indiana fire or police organizations; and Be It Further Resolved, That the committee will provide written recommendations to the PFFUI Executive Board regarding potential services, resources, and financial assistance the PFFUI should offer affiliated Locals and Departments in the event of such a tragedy. The Executive Board shall review the recommendations for potential changes in policies or necessary resolutions for convention consideration. Cost Factor: Minimal, No Cost Factor to be applied.
