Senate committee confirms four FPPA appointees and puts confirmations on consent calendar
Summary
The committee heard brief introductions from four governor appointees to the Fire & Police Pension Association board and advanced their confirmations unanimously (4–0) to the consent calendar.
The committee received a short presentation from the Fire & Police Pension Association and four appointees the governor named to its board. Director Lindahl said the agency "provides pension benefits and disability benefits for the majority of Colorado firefighters and police officers" and introduced the nominees.
Appointees introduced themselves and summarized professional qualifications. Karen Grama described her investment and pension administration background and said she would serve as an individual board member from the state's financial community. Joan Brown said she had practiced ERISA law for decades and had served on the board; Kim McDaniel summarized her career in retirement administration for the City of Westminster; and Don Lombardi described his 34‑year fire service career and said he was appointed as the retiree representative.
After member questions, a senator moved to confirm the four appointees with a favorable recommendation. The roll call vote recorded approval 4–0; the confirmations were placed on the committee’s consent calendar.
What happens next: The confirmations will be forwarded for final consideration via the consent calendar process unless committee members later remove the items for separate consideration.
