Charter Review Committee
TL;DR
The Charter Review Committee approved a proposal to let Denver's fire department hire experienced firefighters from other agencies through intergovernmental agreements. This change would allow Denver to provide fire services to other government agencies while bringing in qualified personnel laterally rather than only through standard recruitment. The measure will go to voters on May 3, 2005.
