312345678910UNIDENTIFIED SPEAKER: At this timeI 'd like to invite John Paulson, Captain JohnPaulson of the Sheridan County Fire Department whograciously accepted our offer to bless ourconference.JOHN PAULSON: Please be seated. Iwant to thank you for the honor of being asked tocome here. This will be my first meeting, and themore I get involved with the fire department, themore -- I guess it' s something you grow to love1112veryquickly.If I were to walk up here and talk about13141516171819202122232425my wife or my grandkids, everybody' d be very opento that immediately. Sometimes faith is a littlebit different than that, so what I hope to do morethan anything is, first off, just put you at ease,and stay at ease, please.I 'll be very quick, but in coming to knowthe fire department, there' s one thing, that is,if I went into the community and found a hundredpeople, able- bodied people, only three would becapable of doing what you do. You are a veryselect group of individuals, and there' s muchtradition, much honor. Again, very easy to fallin love with the fire department right off.OWENS, BRAKE & ASSOCIATESP.O.

412345678910111213141516171819202122232425The other thing that I have found verytrue to be and that is you are internallymotivated. Nobody has to prod you to do what youdo. There' s knowledge, there's need, and you guysare the bridge between that. We understand thatthe fire department was established on these.I want to use an illustration becauseknowing that you are so self- sufficient, you maynot understand necessarily the need that Irecognize, but again, I want you to be at ease. Iwould never try to force what I have upon somebodyelse.There's a very smart man, but sometimeshe didn't really take the time to really lookthings over. One day, he walked out of his houseand he saw these huge words written across thesky, and he jumped to a conclusion that was wrong,but because of this wrong conclusion, he took offrunning down the road, hollering like a maniac,and his neighbor saw him and he went out and hegrabbed ahold of him and he slowed him down, andhe said, what in the world is going on with you?He said, well, it's the Lord' s judgment,it' s here, it's come, I can see it written in thesky, and his neighbor said, that' s not the Lord'sOWENS, BRAKE & ASSOCIATESP.O.

512345678910111213141516171819202122232425judgment, it says, drink Pepsi Cola.But his neighbor said, you were runninglike a man with a plan, what was that plan? Andhe said, well, I thought the Lord's judgment wascoming, so I was just going to keep running untilhe caught up with me.You know, if we look up in the sky andyou look in certain places, you'll see a cross inthe sky, instead of God's judgment, and that' swhat I had hoped today, was to just tell you, ifyou are running, you don' t have to, because thatcross on the skyline takes all that away.So this is really my prayer for you, foreach of you, captain, chiefs, firefighters,others, that through the cross, when you' re onscene and you have to make a tough call, that youunderstand and realize that you can ask God fordirection, and you can expect to get an answer.That through the cross, when everything goes wrongand you feel like the weight of the world is uponyour shoulders and yours alone, you have a friendthat will take that burden, and through the cross,miracles can and do still happen. If you don'tbelieve me, pick up a copy of Firewire and readthe chaplain' s article for this month.OWENS, BRAKE & ASSOCIATESP.O. Box 1362, Salina, Kansas 67402-1362 785-825-6665

When you see someone thatyou know hasn't been to conference before,introduce yourself, make them feel welcome, makethem want to come back, and then let them knowwhat we need to do, what we expect, because if wedon't put our expectations out, no one can ever,ever meet them.If we need something and we simply ask,and it' s my belief as well, when you ask forsomething, especially of the fire service, youwill always get more than what you asked for, somake our new members feel welcome and help themalong, bring them along.Take a minute here to remind you to visitthe vendors. Again, Chief Snyder said, withoutthem, this wouldn't we possible, they do supportus. We've got vendors for almost everything.There's a room over here, a room over there, allthe way through the hallways, so do take the timeto see the vendors.A couple of things on the vendors, JerryIngram asked me to pass along a little bit of anote here, there was a fire in Richmond that was amultiple fatality fire, four people lost theirOWENS, BRAKE & ASSOCIATESP.O.

We' vegot Rikki Stewart.RIKKI STEWART: I appreciate theopportunity to speak to you guys today. My nameis Rikki Stewart, like he said. I work for theKansas Division of Emergency Management. I 'm theresource management planner for the state.Just to give you a little background, Icome from a long line of firemen. My dad's afireman, my uncle's a fireman, so I do relate alittle bit to you guys.I 'm here to talk to you guys today aboutthe project I 'm working on. It's theComprehensive Resource Management andCredentialing System. It's a web based systemthat the State' s putting together for you guys touse as a daily tool for accountability ofpersonnel and assets.If I can make this thing work. There yougo. I can learn new tricks.The reason we're doing this is Kansasdoes not have a Comprehensive Resource ManagementSystem in the state.

The problem is thatwhat you' ll find is during an EMAC situation, I 'llask - - someone will ask for a firefighter.Well, when they show up, they'reexpecting certain criteria. They're expecting youto know what you' re doing, and some people havemore training than others. Well, our attempt isto set the standards for the state so that nomatter where you are, Morton County, LeavenworthCounty, across the board, everybody's going toknow what you're asking for and what you' rereceiving during an E MAC situation.We' re going to build this web basedsystem. It's going to be Kansas customized, andI 've put little asterisks on things that I reallywant you guys to take away from this. The intent,as I said, we're going to adopt a statewidepersonnel credentialing and state resource typing.That way Firefighter 1 is a Firefighter 1 acrossthe state. Whatever you guys decide, which I 'llget into that in just a second, whatever you guysdecide is going to be a Firefighter 1 across thestate.

A brush truck is going to be a brushtruck across the State of Kansas, and it' sautomatically progressing for me. Let' s go back.The intent again is to get thosecredentials and standards set. There's discussionabout putting a sunflower with a one on it on yourdriver' s license that'll identify you as a firstresponder should you not show up with your ticketto the dance, which is your ID card.Training and support, obviously, that'swhy we' re here. We're going to make sure you guysunderstand what we' re doing, and we're going tocome out with system launches and come out andmake sure everybody gets trained on how to use it,because I know there' s quite a few people out inthis audience who are very familiar with these anduse the system every day, the Salamander System.There are a lot of data bases.Everybody's got their own, like I said, way ofhandling and accounting for their people and theirstuff. There's a lot of data bases throughout thestate, so what our intention is, is to make surethat we get everybody on the same system.

They'realready using it, the majority of them, arealready using it on a daily basis, so what we'redoing is, all those individual resource managersystems that you guys have in your counties, youremergency manager pretty much has most of them,we' re going to unlock all the resources in thatand make them web based so everybody in the statecan see what' s going on.These are the goals of the project. I'vealready accomplished that first goal, to identifythe impact on the Homeland Security RegionalCouncils. I've gone to every single one of theHomeland Security Regional Councils in the stateand asked them how they wanted to proceed with2324thisproject.I 've given them two options.

They want everybody to havethat capability as soon as possible.Again, back here to the red marks is whatI wanted to tell you about. Identify the existingstate resource management and credentialingcapabilities.

3912345678910111213141516171819202122232425This is the way it works. The CRMCSwhich is the Comprehensive Resource ManagementSystem, all of your data is put into this webbased system. All of your resources, your people,your equipment, all of that stuff is listed there,and right now, it goes by FEMA type coding untilwe get the state standards set. The only thingthat' s in there right now is the FEMA types, andeverybody, you know, how many people in here knowthat all of this stuff we have in Kansas doesn' texactly fit in FEMA's pretty little box.So, what we're going to do is set all ofthose standards up, all of that stuff will be inthe C RMCS. You use the C RMCS to make thiscredential; okay? That's how it feeds into that.Then you go on scene and you have either a PDA,what this is, and Brennan actually has this ondisplay upfront. You have a PDA or you have theMobile Express System in your vehicle, and that'swhere the on- scene accountability starts.So it starts with the ID, rolls up to theP DA's, the PDA's in return sync with the commandsystem, and then the command system, once the webbased system is up and running, will feed what wecall inner track exchange.OWENS, BRAKE & ASSOCIATESP.O.

Nice to see the great turnout,especially with the situation I 'm sure most ofyour departments have fiscally wise, same positionthat the State' s in, and I'm sure probably a fewof you are probably here on your own dime would bemy guess, so, just goes to show the dedication ofthis group, and the dedication that you have toyour job here in protecting the citizens of theState.Real quick, my background is not of thefire service. My background is with about 30 plusyears in law enforcement in the state, 28 years ofthat being with the KBI until I retired in July,and I am not actually the fire marshal, I 'm theacting or interim fire marshal. Was asked to justfill in in this position. Basically because theGovernor' s office knew that a bill was coming outin the legislature to pretty much disband the FireMarshal's Office, and they didn't want to appointsomebody in there permanently and them only be inOWENS, BRAKE & ASSOCIATESP.O.

It basicallytakes the three divisions of the Fire Marshal'sOffice and moves those over under different stateagencies. Investigations would go to the KBI, theprevention and inspection people are going to goover to the Department of Administration, and thenhazmat was going to go over under EmergencyManagement.That bill is still there. It'll still bethere next session. The only thing that hashappened is it was tabled by the HouseSubcommittee and they're referring it to aninterim committee over the summer to be studiedOWENS, BRAKE & ASSOCIATESP.O.

The bill basically came around because of alot of complaints that the Governor's Office andthe legislature has been receiving over the lastfew years, but I have to preface, whenever I talkabout this with people, is that the majority ofthe Fire Marshal' s duties and responsibilities isregulation, and when you' re in the regulation andenforcement of rules and regulations, you don'thave a big fan base to begin with, so a lot ofwhat' s happening is probably unfair and unjust,but it' s, you know, I guess, part of the every daydealings with politics and with the public. Youdon't make a lot of friends sometimes and they, Iguess, take whatever avenue they can to try and2223makechanges.On the other side of that, I know that2425there's concerns from people here at thisconference right now with some of the changes thatOWENS, BRAKE & ASSOCIATESP.O.

So unless that statute' schanged or things are done differently by thelegislature, basically, the statute says that whenwe' re inspecting buildings, they can only beinspected based on the code, rules, regulationsthat were in place the year that building wasbuilt, unless something is a distinct hazard tolife or property. And you can -- in inspections,you can use that, fortunately, that distincthazard to life and property to cover a lot ofthings, and to keep those school buildings,hospitals, health care, different places, youknow, as safe as we can.The other thing is I just ask for yourOWENS, BRAKE & ASSOCIATESP.O.

This year, for2010, I don't know if you can see the back, we' reabout $ 10,500,000, just over that mark, 2 50 to$ 300, 000 increase that we're going to see, sowe' re going to -- that' s going to help us out.We had some redeterminations this pastyear, 2010, that are going to cause someadjustments, and by that I mean, you may see alittle bit of a decrease in what you got from lastyear, and that' s because we had a $ 600, 000 billwe' ve got to come up with for theredeterminations.We had several departments that wetargeted for redetermination because they arebeing - - have been getting hosed for the last 25years, so we chose them to come in and participatein redetermination to get them whole again, and we22didthat.232425I anticipate this will be the last year.2009, 2010 redeterminations totaled over a milliondollars for those two years, so this will be theOWENS, BRAKE & ASSOCIATESP.O.

They come in, they're dueApril 1 . As you can see, this time of year, as oflast night, I had 4 72 FRA's submitted theirfinancial statements as required. This is aboutten more than last year at the same time. You cansee the comparisons in the years, of course, the5 58 and 5 55 in the last years preceding this weretotals for the entire year.So right now, we still have about 1 08FRA's that have not submitted their financialstatements as required, and you can see that thatrepresents over $ 400, 000 of unobligated taxdollars that are sticking out like a bogey on aradar screen, so I've already sent out nasty gramsto these hundred folks to try and encourage themOWENS, BRAKE & ASSOCIATESP.O.

This is the money end of it.We' re going to go over now to show you whathappened statewide. We've got about $18 millionin receipts that we got last year. Remember, Isaid sent about $ 9.2 million to the FRA's. Withthe money that you have, that you have investedand got return on, the total receipts were 18million, so we almost doubled the money that Isent out to you. So the program is working verywell in that.OWENS, BRAKE & ASSOCIATESP.O. Box 1362, Salina, Kansas 67402-1362 785-825-6665

We' ve got a check that we sendyou, we got some insurance policies that we getsome proceeds off of, we have our annuityprograms, and our banks that we deal with, andhere' s how that's broken down for the entire year.You can see that our biggest money makeris our annuities, so our annuity program and ourpension programs are the biggest winners when itcomes to making money for you.Then our expenditures for the last yearwere about $14 million. We took in 18, we spentabout 14. You can see that the biggest part of itwas towards an insurance product that we have, sowe' ve got about $ 9 million, I give you $9 million,you spend about 9 million on an insurance productfor your firemen. That's excellent, because thatshows what I sent out is going back out for ourfiremen. I can sell this all day long to alegislature.The other part on the top end there, yousee where it' s relief to firefighters, that's theother thing, the big thing, when we have afirefighter that' s injured or one that' s killed inthe line of duty, we are able to take care ofOWENS, BRAKE & ASSOCIATESP.O.

We've got about$ 2 million, that' s 10... I don' t know, somewherearound 13, $14 million that are directly relatedto benefits to our firemen. That is outstanding.Okay, these are the products that weinvest our monies in throughout the year, and youcan see how they' re done. When you look at ourbanking institutions that we utilize for our CD's,our checking accounts, our savings accounts, ourtime CD's and things, that is put in there, thenyou look at our annuity and our pension programs,and this is how it' s broken out.Basically, there' s two products that weinvest in, it's a bank product, and it' s anannuity and a pension product. Our bank products,we have $ 29 million in, and we' ve made about$ 300, 000 interest in those products throughout theState of Kansas.

You never know what' s going to happen.You need to have money to be able to take care ofthe firefighter and his family when the timecomes, so I encourage folks to have money in thebank, but you also need to look at your long- terminvestments with your money as well.When I took over the program, one of thethings I noticed is that we had a lot ofbureaucracy and what we like to refer to at theState is desk drawer rules.In other words, I don't know why we'redoing it this way, we've been doing it this wayfor so long, that's how we do it, so. ..Then the other thing we looked at is thatmost of you firemen are out there, you have totake care of your FRA business during your owntime or some time else that's outside the normalduty hours, and our program doesn't address that,that we had.So one of the things I'm big on is, I 'mnot going to have you do anything that' s notrequired by statute.

So this is how we're goingto fix the inequities in the old formula and howwe' re going to do it from this point forward.It' s going to take us 25 years to fixwhat it took 25 years to break, but we' re going todo that without opening the Relief Act, so I thinkit' s the fix, it' s the way to go. We're going toput it in writing so it'll be there so that nomatter who' s the commissioner, who' s the governor,whoever's going on, this is how we' re going to usethis and apply the formula at this point.Okay, we just had an issue, dodged theOWENS, BRAKE & ASSOCIATESP.O.

You' re doing a bake sale to wash thetruck, they want you to track those hours, so youcan imagine the paper trail and to manage that tokeep up with all the other requirements that youhave to do as well.They also wanted to up the minimumpremium to $300, and they did that without ourknowledge as well, so once we found out about it,Bob come in and took over, and corrected thesituation.He is the board chairman of the workers'comp for the firefighters across the State ofKansas.

It serves as an umbrellaOWENS, BRAKE & ASSOCIATESP.O. Box 1362, Salina, Kansas 67402-1362 785-825-6665

Legislature passed a new program for peoplehired in the KPERS program July 1 st, 2009, alittle over a year and a half ago, almost two2122yearsago.They did a similar thing in the KP& F232425program, Kansas Police and Fire Systems, startedin 1965, and the legislature passed a new programfor KP& F members starting July 1 of ' 89, so theOWENS, BRAKE & ASSOCIATESP.O.

Theretirement system for the judges started in 1975and did a similar thing, I think it was in 1983, Ibelieve.Anyway, that gives you some of the realquick history on the different programs, and youthink, who cares? Well, the reason I did that isbecause I 'm going to be making a few short remarksregarding the legislature and what changespossibly might come up, and who knows what theymay do, but it would probably be another changefor future people and stuff like that.As I mentioned, the structure for allthree organizations is the same, so when I'mvisiting with a group of members, I like to breakit down into three areas. I also take about anhour doing that, but I'm going to give you a veryshort version of that because I understand I don' thave but 15 minutes, so that' s fine.But the first area, when I'm talking tomembers, whether they just started today or areOWENS, BRAKE & ASSOCIATESP.O.

95123456789101112ready to retire today or anywhere in between, oneof the first things they are interested in is whatthe heck happened to your money. Back when youbecame a member, depending on which system youwere in, contributions were deducted out of yourpaycheck and sent into the retirement system,along with employers' rates.The money over in Topeka, they throw itinto reserves and invest it. However, they keep aseparate accounting of the members' money, and itgoes into what I like to refer to as the membersthat count. You also get interest added to that1314accountbalance.What' s important about this first area is15161718192021two things. One, you get interest paid on yourmoney, and I might mention it's a pretty darn goodinterest rate. The whole programs are coveredunder state law. It' s a state law to pay you thatinterest rate and it' s a state law to pay theaccount and the whole program's covered understate law, so the account is considered a22guaranteedaccount.232425So I don' t know if any of you have hadthe opportunities to shop around banks recentlyfor CD rates, I have just a little over a weekOWENS, BRAKE & ASSOCIATESP.O.

9612345678910111213141516171819202122232425ago, I had a little ol' CD come due, and we had torenew it, and it was a low rate to begin with.Well, the low rate was considered good compared towhat it renewed at a little over a week ago. Iremember asking the lady at the bank, if I comeback in 18 months when this renews again, am Igoing to have to pay you to take it?So you compare that to similar typeguaranteed accounts, pretty darn good interestrate you get paid on your account money. But thesecond thing is probably the most important. Thisis a no brainer. Regardless what happens, everypenny of the member's money, plus 100 percent ofthat interest is going to be paid out by theretirement system, either to the member or on themembers' behalf, regardless of what happened. Themember doesn' t stick around and retire, they quit,they can withdraw the whole account balance.Regardless how long they' ve been employed.There's no minimum time requirement. You canwithdraw the whole amount, including 100 percentof that interest.Member dies are all paid out in deathbenefits.

I say a " littleaccount", if you' ve been watching your annualstatements from the retirement system over yourcareer, no, that' s not a little account, it'sthousands of dollars, but in comparison to thataccount balance, and the probable retirementbenefits, it' s fairly small.The average person retired under KP&F orKPERS, either one, today would receive all theirmoney and interest on that money in about three,three and a half years, but it' s going to pay themthe rest of their lifetime.Second area of the overall retirementprograms are a series of death and disabilitybenefits covering active members, yourselves,right today, while you' re still employed, andyou're covered with that while you' re stillemployed, building up the last area, the thirdarea, which is the retirement benefit itself.The retirement systems operates theseprograms under what's called a defined benefitplan.

Factor No. 1 ,years of credited service. You work a year, youhave a year of credited service. You work asecond year, you have two years of creditedservice, third year, fourth year and so forth,years of credited service in the retirementprograms.Each one of these years under factor No.1 is worth a percent value, depending on whichsystem you' re covered with, KPERS or KP&F, whatthat percent is. Under the KPERS program, thatpercent value for each year is worth 1.75 percent.Under the KP& F program, each one of those years isworth a percent value, two and a half percent.But each of those years under Factor No. 1 arethat percent of Factor No. 2.

That's it.Those two factors are going to determinehow much the member's going to get in a retirementbenefit on down the road when the member retires,and one of those factors isn' t how much money topay to him. Now, that' s important, but that' s whyI like to explain that, the first area goes intoaccount, it's going to be paid out regardless ofwhat happens, but it' s not going to be used incalculating the retirement benefit. Years offinal average salary.When a member retires, you actuallyreceive monthly paid benefits, so thatcalculation, you divide by 12. Now, that is oneimportant calculation. What that comes up with atretirement time is referred to as the maximummonthly benefit, the most the retirement systemcan pay a person per month.There's a number of options that arereductions to the maximum monthly benefit, but atretirement time, if a member chose the maximummonthly benefit, it's calculated that way. Theend of the first month of retirement, that maximumbenefit is paid to the member, the end of thesecond month, again, third month, month afterOWENS, BRAKE & ASSOCIATESP.O.

Now,when that happens, that's when that maximummonthly benefit's going to stop, but not untilthen.Lifetime payable retirement income tolive on during what, the retirement. It' s not anaccount balance. Really important for members tokeep that in mind as they consider the otheroptions, and that type of thing, especially thepartial lump sum option.Guess what? At the point when the memberpasses on after retiring, the retirement system isgoing to pay another lump sum $ 4,000 death benefitto the member's beneficiary.So that was a very quick description ofthe defined benefit plan that you have under KPERSor KP&F, either one, and that's important to keepthat in mind, and also, as we consider some of thethings that are in the news recently about thefunding of the retirement system and what mayOWENS, BRAKE & ASSOCIATESP.O.

They're formembers getting ready to retire, I think it'swithin the next five years or so, that type ofthing, and we've had good attendance for membersall across the state at these meetings, but thisparticular year, there was a lot of attendance. Ithink it definitely broke attendance records, andI think a lot of that is because of a lot of thearticles in the news about the funding problem.Not that a lot of them are going to retireimmediately right this year, but they certainlyhave an interest because of the funding articlesin the news and this type of thing, so a littlebackground on that.The famous date as far as the retirementsystem, July 1 of ' 93.

10212345678910111213141516171819202122232425legislature back at that time passed legislationthat increased the value of everybody's retirementby 25 percent. That percent value of yourcredited service in the two systems, in the KPERSprogram was 1 .4, it went to 1 .75. In the KP& Fprogram was 2 percent, went to 2 and a half.That' s exactly a 25 percent increase in the valueof everybody' s retirement today.Can you imagine the amount of liabilitythat added to the retirement program at that time.And the actuaries that did the study at that time,programed to pay for this unfunded liability thatwas added over a 40 year period. Increased theemployers' rate, kinda aligned something likethat, if I had a chalk board, I guess ( indicating).But the legislature shortly after thatthen passed a cap of what employers' rates couldbe increased, so if you have a line like this,that' s required, to pay that liability at righthere, you change that line to here, can you seethe longer you go, like this, the more the problemthat' s going to be (indicating) .That came to light after the terribleinvestment year of 2008, and at that time, therewere studies done and this type of thing, and theOWENS, BRAKE & ASSOCIATESP.O.

We dipped down into thepoor funding area for the retirement programs.Since then, investments have certainlyimproved and everything else and last report Ihad, a while back, but we're up to 64 percent now,so better, but a long ways to go. 80 percent orabove is considered good, so we got a long ways togo.So that is part of it, and it came tolight, but it's not an immediate problem. Now,$ 13 million to me is a lot of money. I mean,that' s like talking about a lottery or somethinglike that. I can't even visualize that muchmoney. Well, they don' t have 13 million, theyhave approximately 13 billion in reserves. Theyhave money to pay benefits for decades. The realproblem is the long range funding, and the longeryou go, not paying what is required, you can seewhat a catastrophic problem that' s going to be ondown the road by not doing things today to correctthat.

10412345678910111213141516171819202122232425Now, the legislature, I think this year,probably is more serious about actually doingthings to change the problem, the fundingproblems, more serious than they' ve ever been.New governor has made it one of his priorities tocorrect the funding of the KPERS system. Both theSenate and the House have committees specificallyfor looking into the funding problems of theretirement system so along that line, at leastthere's seriousness looking at doing something tochange the funding of the retirement system.And there's a number of things at thestart. They kinda put it on the table, anythingincluding kitchen sink was all right to put on thetable. Well, they' ve certainly kicked out a bunchof those, because they literally threw everythingout there. But they' ve kinda narrowed it down,and the House has a bill and the Senate has abill, and they' re not the same. So at thisparticular time, which I just got a report firstthing this morning where the three committeemembers from both are in trying to negotiate thedifferences in that, and they aren' t succeeding atthat just yet.The House kinda is changing - - coming upOWENS, BRAKE & ASSOCIATESP.O.

10512345678910111213141516171819202122232425with changing the plan to a 401(k) type of plan,which would be a defined contribution plan ratherthan a defined benefit plan, and that would startin 2013, I think is what they're proposing. TheSenate Bill is not against a defined contributionplan, but is more in studying and not jumpingright into something because they still need totake care of the funding problems that are alreadythere. So these are kinda where they're at.Now, in the past, every year, when I'mtalking to members and this type of thing, I say,hey, I can' t even predict the weather, so I don'tknow what the legislature is going to do. Well,now, I think I can predict the weather better thanI can what the legislature may do, I don' t know.I guess one thing, it wouldn' t surpriseme at all if right this year, they did nothing,because one of the proposals is to establish acommittee between the House and the Senate to comeup with a compromised bill by the end of this yearso they can act on that next legislature. Givethem a little bit more time to study all thesedifferent things, rather than jumping right intosomething. The House is not really in favor ofthat, they want to pass something immediately andOWENS, BRAKE & ASSOCIATESP.O. Box 1362, Salina, Kansas 67402-1362 785-825-6665

Now, a little bit more onthat, and I 'll get off of that. Most of the stuffyou read in the paper and everything else, righttoday is all talking about the KPERS program, notthe KP& F system, or the judges system. Now, thosetwo programs are funded along the line wherethey' re supposed to be. In fact, both of them,the KP& F program and the judges system, not thislast year, they did have an increase this lastyear, employers' rates I'm talking about, but thetwo years prior to that, employers' rates actuallydecreased, so they' re funded pretty much along theline where they're supposed to be as far asfunding goes through a system. So everythingthat' s on the table right now is looking mainly atthe funding of the KPERS program itself.A lot of the reason there is, of course,the State of Kansas budget covers all stateemployment, but it also covers the employers' partof all the school districts in the state sothey' re talking a lot of money regarding statebudgets, so that' s where they're talking, butOWENS, BRAKE & ASSOCIATESP.O.

That is certainly, youknow, don't have any idea on that.Okay, we' ve covered all of that, theproblems with the system, how the system works,it' s good to understand that, how the futurechanges might affect that.There is a positive note after all ofthat. The retirement system also handles a sideprogram through the retirement program for thethree different systems, KPERS, KP& F and thejudges systems called the Optional Group Life1516InsuranceProgram.Now, what that program does, optional,171819202122232425two different ways. It's optional whether thedifferent employers even offer this program forits employees, so some cities do, some citiesdon't. Some counties do, some counties don't.State of Kansas does.

It' s handled through the retirement systemcalled the Optional Group Life Insurance Program.Those members can buy $ 5,000 incrementsup to a quarter million dollars coverage.

At 10 o 'clock, they'reactually going to be discussing on the Senatefloor one of your bills, EMS bill, so I 'm eager toget back there and do what you' re paying us to do.What I'd like to do, I think everyone hasa copy of our report.

There was alittle bit of a hiccup on the House side, and in aconversation last night with the chair of thatcommittee, she said that the major components ofthe EMS bill, she's willing to agree on. Somewill have to wait until next year, so that wasvery encouraging, and that' s as of 7 o'clock lastnight. So we'll look for that to pass the Senateand put in conference committee, and then dealtwith as they try to wrap up their work over thecourse of the next ten days.The other one is House Bill 2 119, theAccident Response Fee. That' s been an interestingbill. At one point, it was a stand alone bill,and then the EMS bill was merged into it, and thenthe EMS bill was stripped out of it. The billitself took on different forms.The way it is going to be voted on andagreed to as it reaches the Governor' s desk isthat you' ll be able to recoup the actual cost ofyour accident response fees.Also on the list you' ll see E 911, this isabout as convoluted a bill as I 've ever seen in myOWENS, BRAKE & ASSOCIATESP.O.

It's morecomplicated than I ever thought it needed to be,but it' s on the way to the Governor's desk after acouple of what are supposed to be simple changes.I mentioned the EMS bill, Senate Bill2 16. That is an ongoing issue.The Fire Sprinkler Bill, very importantbill. Occupied a lot of our time, as it shouldhave. It was a tough issue.

We talked about howmany conflicts there would be. We do notrepresent them, we do represent you, and we triedour best on that bill.Representing your side of the issue,you're on the right side, but the facts sometimesdon't matter.

As of three or four days ago when Iput this together, we've had 20 large fires thataccounted for over 300 acres.To make the large fire category, you haveto have 3 00 acres of grass, hundred acres oftimber, so we look at the grass fires. They' vetotaled, at least the numbers we' ve got, 68,800acres total.

Iexpect it to encompass more counties as we go downthis road because E PA, when they get on their bandwagon, they don't give up.I was a little bit encouraged and Ialways take what they tell me with a grain ofsalt, one of their employees that was sitting inmy boss' office one morning at a meeting and hesaid, we' re the Environmental Protection Agency,and I thought, oh, God, here we go.

He said, we haveto have fire in the Flint Hills and in theagricultural community because that's part of theenvironment. If we don't do that on a regularbasis, we won't have the environment we've gottoday, and we need to maintain that, and Ithought, either this young man doesn' t know whathe' s saying, or he' s really got some guts, becausethat' s not the way EPA has functioned in the past.So I think they're willing right now toOWENS, BRAKE & ASSOCIATESP.O.

And yet,when we looked at our training numbers, we' re onlycatching about 10 percent of those 13,000 plusvolunteer firemen out there.

I 'll give you the truth.If Senate Bill 216, was 2 62, it's 2 16now, if it does not pass, there is, it containsthat ability for you to transition down. We havealready decided internally that if it does notpass, for the last 17 years now, we have beenallowing people to lower their level ofcertification upon request. The way to do thathas always been submit your card with a letterrequesting the level you want to change thatcertification to. Has to be a lower level, youcan't ask to go up.We are going to continue to do that. Ifthat is the case, if we have to do it that way,then what you will need to do is you will need tolower your level of certification and then takethe transition training associated with thatlevel, because we cannot retroactively approvecontinuing education -- transition courses, notcontinuing education, transition courses, and youcan't take a transition course for qualificationto transition to a level of certification thatOWENS, BRAKE & ASSOCIATESP.O.

They allowed that, that's a zoning issue,so that starts us off at a bad spot already.They entered through the front door, fallthrough the floor, right. Was this house builtwith light weight components? No. It was not.The problem is that the fire was downstairs. It' dwithin burning, the best the report can tell, forabout 20 minutes. That's going to come into playwhen we look at those U .L. studies, but theycrawled in the front door, fell through, and diedin the basement.Now, here's two fires. One of these is afire in Kansas.
