Its purpose is similar to other city programs whereby such groups are permitted to adopt parks and esplanades. The program, jointly administered by the Houston Fire Department and the General Services Department, involves directing donor materials and services to the fire station the donor desires “to adopt.” The program does not replace the city’s established fire station restoration program currently administered by the General Services Department. Rather, it serves as a supplement. The program is not set up to receive cash donations; however, some donors may prefer to give money. Therefore, on behalf of the Adopt-A-Fire Station Program, the Fire Department will accept cash donations through the following affiliates: Citizens Fire Academy Alumni Association or MediLife of Houston. To learn more about the Adopt-A-Fire Station Program attend one or both of Council Member Stardig’s upcoming town hall meetings or visit the website at the following link: www.houstontx.gov/fire/community/adoptafirestation.html SM The Heart of Houston!

  • Houston Ambulance Chase Nets $28 Million
    Digitech Computer, Inc. 555 Pleasantville Road Suite 110, North Building Briarcliff Manor, New York 10510 (914) 741-1919 Fax (914) 741-1325 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE www.digitechcomputer.com Houston Ambulance Chase Nets $28 Million Supplemental payment program closes the gaps in reimbursement for ambulance transports Briarcliff Manor, NY – December 11, 2015 – When the Houston City Council selected Digitech to handle its billing for ambulance transports in 2013, it signed on with a partner that could help the city address both an information gap and a budget gap. A federal program allows governmental ambulance providers to recover a portion of the difference between the actual cost of services provided and the reimbursement allowed under Medicaid, Medicaid Managed Care, and uninsured patients. Houston had been missing out on these Ambulance Supplemental Payment Program (ASPP) funds, because it couldn’t be certain of providing the extensive documentation of these expenditures required by the state of Texas, which administers the program. Digitech’s Ambulance Commander software, combined with their data mining experience and reporting expertise, enabled Houston to provide the detailed accounting of all the city’s ambulance trips required by the ASPP. Houston had already seen an $11 million increase in revenue captured from ambulance billing— from $29 million in 2012-13 to nearly $40 million in 2013- 14. For 2013-14, the ASPP has returned almost $28 million in additional revenue to the City of Houston. Digitech projects a similar return for Houston for the 2014-15 fiscal year, which will help the city close a projected $63 million budget gap. “The City Council made a wise decision in Digitech,” states Mayor Annise Parker.

    A PUBLICATION FOR THE Summer 2019 ACTIVE/RETIRED MEMBERS AND BENEFICIARIES OF THE HOUSTON FIREFIGHTERS’ RELIEF AND RETIREMENT FUND Investing for Firefighters and Their Families® A MESSAGE FROM CHAIRMAN BESSELMAN Dear Fund Members, First, it is an honor to serve as the Chairman once again. I continue to be in close communication with all Houston Firefighters’ Relief and Retire- ment Fund (HFRRF or “the Fund”) members, both active and retired. Brett R. Besselman As I continually meet more members and listen to your stories about Chair your experiences in the Houston fire department, it re-affirms my com- mitment to the Board and the long-term health and viability of this pension fund. The appellate ruling in this latest round of court proceedings sided with the City of Houston re- garding the suit to stop underfunding our pension plan. On June 20, 2019 the Texas Court of Ap- peals, 14th Appellate District in Houston, affirmed a previous district court ruling that permitted experimental revisions relating to funding from the 2017 Texas Legislature to continue. We are very disappointed in this ruling but plan to continue our challenge to what we believe is an unconstitu- tional law in situations where the Board’s actuaries believe the City contribution must be higher. SB 2190 allows the City to short change the pension year to year, instead of producing long term pension security. We still believe SB 2190 conflicts with the Texas Constitution by taking away the Board’s right to select sound actuarial assumptions to be used by the Fund for this plan.
