A blistering, 26 page report on the use of comp or flex time by Denver’s fire chief and his top seven commanders calls the years-long practice a violation of Denver’s Revised Municipal Code, “an organizational failing” and a “problematic practice.” Mayor Mike Johnston said after the report was released Tuesday night he was asking Fire Chief Desmond Fulton to repay some of the vacation time Fulton has cashed out since 2023, and the mayor said what happened was “A troubling and systemic misuse of Flex Time.”
