Go Windcrest Texas

March 2018, Windcrest Fire Department (Bugle Crew) Failed to Respond to a 911 call .  Want proof this happened?  (Watch the City Council Video click here)   The Prop 1 votes are not complete and the Bugle Crew has already violated the Protection Agreement.  This organization should be eliminated! VOTE FOR PROPOSITION 1 TO GET RID OF THE BUGLE CREW. The original  Windcrest Volunteer Fire Association Firefighters   NEVER failed to show for a 911 call according to sources.    Vote "FOR" Prop 1 to bring back the Fire Association!   For years the Volunteer Fire Department (WVF Association members) had a Rescue 1 truck on call 24/7/  You would often see the Rescue 1 vehicle parked at a fireman's home nights and weekends, ready to respond immediately, and they DID. Fast forward to March 2018, Windcrest received a 911 call for service around 8am one day in March.  The ambulance took a little longer than normal to arrive due to other calls.

  The Windcrest Pension Fund Board approved the report below.  The Fire Chief has the responsibility to track the service of all Windcrest Volunteer Fireman.  Windcrest pays $36 into the Pension Fund per month per each Qualified Active Windcrest Volunteer Fireman.   The Windcrest Pension Board also submits an annual report certifying the service for each member.  The Board also Certified two other requirements.  The answer to the two questions determines if the members receives credit for the that year.  1. Did Member Attend 24% of Emergencies?  Yes or No 2. Did Member Attend 20 Hours of Training?  Yes or No Clarification:  Although the Fund receives $36 per month based on the quarterly reconciliation report, the member only receives retirement credit for the year(s) that the member actually attended 25% of emergencies and attended 20 hours of training.  This information is used to calculate the dollar amount of retirement pay each individual member received when he/she files for

   Certainly Windcrest can do better !  Windcrest Economic Development Corporation will appoint Rick Cockenham to the board.  This after his spouse called Windcrest residents "Ignorant" while addressing city council.  Remember Rick was voted OFF council for good reason.    WEDC is negotiating with a $60 Million project.  With millions on the line why would WEDC want a board member previously charged with a felon, plead guilty and paid restitution.  With a $60 million project on the table this should raise a huge red flag.   WEDC should say, thank you, but NO thank you. 

 A Vote FOR the Proposition on the May 5th Ballot will end the existence of the Bugle Crew and also trash the new Fire Protection Agreement.   Don't let the awkward legal wording of the proposition confuse your vote.  A Vote FOR will KEEP the original Windcrest Volunteer Fire Association has worked well for over  30 years.  Vote FOR the proposition and bring back the original WVF Association.
