Pension to be Granted
Recommendation/Motion:
Stephen Revello, Parks & Recreation Department, be granted a job-connected disability pension
under Section(s) 2.397 and/or 2.399 of the Employees' Pension Plan as recommended by the
Pension Advisory, Committee.
and that the appropriate officials be authorized to execute same.
BACKGROUND:
Stephen - Revello, Maintenance ?Vorker II, Parks & Recreation Department, was
employed by the City on April 18,' 1983, and began participating in the Pension Plan on that date.
On January 9, 1990, he injured his back picking up a high wheel mower while on duty which is
the basis for his request for this job-connected disability pension. He suffered further injuries to
his back on April 2, 1992, and July 2, 1993.
Mr. Revello submitted letters from Dr. Ralph E. Rydell, dated February 13, 1995; Dr. Joseph M. Sena,
dated September 23, 1991; and Dr. Kenneth P. Botwin, dated May 3, 1995. The letter from Dr. Rydell
states, "...his symptoms are related to a mild disc bulging at L-4 with nerve root entrapment... He is
then at maximum medical improvement and has a permanent partial disability of 3% of the body as
it whole ...I don't feel that he could return to his previous employment which would require heavy
lifting with frequent bending and stooping and twisting." The letter from Dr. Sena states that
Mr. Revello "sustained injuries at work on 712193 when lifting a lawn mower ...I do not feel that
Nir. Revello is capable of returning to his regular work duty job... He should avoid lifting greater
than 50 pounds.-This patient's restrictions include avoiding lifting greater than 50 pounds and
avoiding excessive repetitive bending at the low back This represents a permanent partial.
disability." The letter from Dr. Botwin states, "I do feel that he has a component of mechanical
back pain which is probably related to his disc degeneration at the L4-5 level...With regards to
work restrictions, the patient would be able to work at the light/medium work capacity, which
would mean lifting 35 pounds on an occasional basis, lifting 15 pounds on a frequent basis and
lifting 7 pounds on a constant basis. These physical demands should not be exceeded."

PATIENT: STEPHEN REVELLO
CHIEF COMPLAINT: low'back and right lower extremity pain.
HISTORY: This 40 year old righthanded man had an.
,original back injury in 1990 while at work. He states that at that
-time scans were, performed and protrusion or bulging of the disc at
L--5 was revealed. He recovered from that and did well until April
2nd, 1992 when he had a second injury while at work. This time he
was mowing on a hill. The patient was off work for approximately
three months. Scans at that time showed bulging of the disc at L-4.
He then had a third exacerbation of back pain on'June 14th, 1993
and again while at work. He returned to work, but the back pains
increased and he has been off work for the last ten months. The
pain that he describes is in the low back area at the lumbosacral
junction and radiates into the right buttock and posterior thigh
and at times it extends into the middle toes. He has numbness and
parasthesias in the same distribution. There has been no cough-
sneeze effect., He has not identified a specific muscle paresis but
a feeling of generalized weakness in the right lower extremity.
The patient has had an MRI Scan, a myelogram and CAT Myelogram.
These are reported to show some bulging of the disc at L-5.
Patient' saw Dr. Sinoff and conservative treatment 'was carried out.
He had some epidural steroid injections with variable results. He
was discharged as being at maximum medical improvement with a 3%
permanent partial disability and diagnosis of unresolved lumbar
sprain. He saw Dr. Ibrhin in St. Petersburg. He felt,that the
patient had degenerative disc disease at L-4-5 and lumbar sprain.

RECOMMENDATIONS:.'
1)•1 dont 'feel that:the'patient would have a high chance of being
improved by lumbar.laminectomy though there is some possibility
that his symptoms are related'to a mild'disc bulging at L-4
with, nerve root" entrapment . However, the likelihood'of improve-
ment would be small:'
2) He is then at maximum medical improvement and has a permanent
.,'partial disability of 3% percent of the body as a whole when.
t.. reference is made'to the'FLORIDA IMPAIRMENT RATING GUIDE.
I'dont feel that he could return to his previous employment
which.would require'heavy lifting with frequent bending and
stooping and twisting. I feel that he could do light,duty
type of work with weights limited in the range of maximum of
50 pounds. •z also would recommend limiting bending and
stooping and twisting.

1'. Lift heavy par; benches. 2. Hoe weeds and scuffle hoe. 3. Mow
with Lawn boy on steep heels. 4. Gift Lawn Boy or'edger on and off
truck without hydraulic lift. 5. Empty trash cans that weigh over
50 pounds. 6. 'geed eater used around hilly ditches. 7. Pull weeds
by 'hand. 3. Lift heavy tailgate on truck. 9. Rake seaweed or
pitch seaweed on truck. 10. Use post hole digger to put in signs.
11. Use shovel, to'edge overgrown grass on sidewalks'.
I do not. feel that Mr. Revello is capable of.returning to his
regular work duty job. He is capable of full time light duties, to
avoid excessive bending, twisting, and heavy lifting. He should
avoid lifting greater than 50 pounds: it is recommended that- he
change rosition frequently.

In, summe'ry'. this. patient's diagnosis is unresolved lumbar strain. • .
Regarding his prognosis we expect ' him to have continued residual

has within reasonable medical'probability,, reached,the point of,
maximal medical improvement with regard to'his injuries sustained
at the time 'of accidents 1/9.0, .'.4/92, and 7'2/93 Maximal medical,
improvement was 'reached' on 4%,8/94.
His permanent partial impairment, according to the Minnesota
guidelines for-an unresolved lumbar strain, would-be on the order
of three point five percent to the ,body as a whole. This patient's
restrictions' incluc3a avoa di;tg. l if ting greater than 50 pounds and
avoiding . e' 1 essive repetitive bending at -the low back. This
represent a, permanent partial"d?sability. 'It is recommended that.

first MRl:was obtained on 04/21/92, which revealed degeneration of
the L4-5-disc with mild bulging centrally. Subsequently a lumbar
myelogram was performed on 11/16/93 at Northside Hospital. This
film was available for review today and was reviewed also with Dr.
Shah of Neurpradiology here at the Florida Spine Institute.. This
appears to•reveal a disc bulge at, the 4-5 level. This was
apparently interpreted as a small disc herniation by Dr. Anderson.
Subsequent to this, an MRI of the•lumbar spine done on 09/10/94 at
UDI in Tampa was also available for review today. This scan
revealed a mild disc bulge at the L4-5 level. It extended slightly
more eccentric' to the right than the left, but is more in the
inidline area. -There was no disc herniation apparent. No spinal
stanosis appeared present.
Also as part of a work up Dr. Sena' had done, electrodiagnostic
studies had been performed. These consisted of nerve conduction
studies which were done on 08/12/93, which apparently revealed
evidence of early.peripheral neuropathy. There was some slowing of
the H-reflexes which could represent an L5-S1 radiculopathy.
However, there was no needle EMG study apparent for review at that
time.
Somatosensory evoked potentials were performed in the lower
extremities. This was interpreted as there being some increased
latency of the L4-5 dermatomes. This was read as being indicative
of a large fiber sensory conduction deficit by Dr. Borges.
Over the course of his conservative treatment, epidural injections
were tried without significant relief of pain and symptoms for any
long lasting period of time. He' also had numerous sessions of
physical therapy and has also had a functional capacity evaluation
performed at the request of Dr. Sena at kehability Center on
01/25/94. It is the recommendation of this capacity evaluation
that the patient was at the light-medium work capacity, lifting 35
pounds on an occasional basis, lifting 15 pounds on a frequent
basis and lifting 7 pounds on a constant basis. Since this time,
he has had several independent medical opinions which have been
rendered through Dr. Ibrahim of orthopedic surgery in St.
Petersburg, Dr. Gene A. Balis of neurological surgery in Tampa and
also Dr. Rydell of neurological surgery also in Tampa.
Currently, Mr. Revello complains of lower back pain with pain in
the, right buttock and posterior hip area. He also complains of an
aching pain down the right dorsum toes. He denies any. current
numbness or tangling in the extremities. He says his pain gets
worse when he tries to do any strenuous bending'', twisting or heavy

RECOMMENDATIONS:
I,feel at the present time, the patient has clearly maximized all
conservative medical treatment options for his lower back pain. I
do feel that he has a component of mechanical back pain which is
probably related to his disc degeneration at the L4-5 level. I do
not see any evidence of neural element compression based upon his.
imaging studies to warrant or indicate any kind of surgical
management for his condition.
MMI: I do believe that the patient has reached MMI with regards to
his job injuries sustained in 1992 and 1993.
PPI: His PPI, based upon the Minnesota.Guidelines, which would be
applicable to his initial injury which was prior to November
of 1992 would be based upon Page 402, under the subtitle Item
#2, Pain Associated with Rigidity or Chronic Muscle Spasm
which would be a total, of 3.50. Using the Florida Impairment
Guide, Page 12, Impairment of the Whole Person would be based
on Item #2 , Intervertebral Disc or Soft Tissue Injuries at 301.

Pension to be Granted
Recommendation/Motion:
Gerald Klinske, Gas Department, be granted a job-connected disability pension under Section(s)
2.397 and/or 2.399 of the Employees' Pension Plan as recommended by the Pension Advisory
Committee.
M and that the appropriate officials be authorized to execute same.
BACKGROUND,
Gerald Klinske, Gas Technician II, Gas Department, was employed by the City
on January 13, 1992, and began participating in the Pension Plan on that date. On January 3, 1994,
he was involved in an automobile accident while on duty which resulted in a back injury which is
the basis for his request for this job-connected disability pension.
Mr. Klinske submitted letters from Dr. William H. Dodson, dated April 5, 1995, and Dr. Dennis M. Lox,
dated April 25, 1995. The letter from Dr. Dodson states, "He has an L4 L-5 disc herniation. His
current work restrictions are no lifting over 25. pounds, no repetitive lifting, no pushing and n o
pulling. He has reached Maximum Medical Improvement and his current signs and symptoms are
permanent. Review of his job description... shows that this job involves much bending and lifting
which he cannot do now, nor will he be able to do so in the future." The letter from Dr. Lox states,
"Mr. Klinske is seen today for evaluation of injuries sustained on 113194. While in the course of
his employment at the Clearwater Gas Company... He. was diagnosed as having a left-sided disc
herniation at L-4-5...I do not feel that he is capable of returning to work in a full-duty capacity in
his previous work at Clearwater Gas Company as a gas technician 1I...I do feel that he has sustained
a permanent injury and has a permanent impairment...."
Mr. Klinske's pension was approved by the Pension Advisory Committee at its meeting on June 8,
1995, and is e ffective on a date to be determined. Based on an average salary of approximately
$20,855 over the past three years and the fo rmula for computing job-connected disability
pensions, this pension will approximate $15,641 annually. Charts from Finance which take into
consideration mortality rates and age reflect the "present value cost of financing" this pension
will be approximately $261,648. The estimated pension cost (cash payout over the life of t h e
pensioner and his/her spouse) is $782,853.

INITIAL EVALUATION'
04/26/95
Dr. Lox
PRESENT ILLNESS: Mr. Klinske is, seen today for evaluation of
injuries. sustained on 1/3/94. While in the course of his employ-
ment at Clearwater Gas Company, he was in a company truck, a car
pulled out in front of him and he struck a telephone pole. He
'developed neck and lower back pain as 'a result of this and numbness
and paresthesias in the left lower extremity. He was diagnosed as
having a lef t-sided disc herniation at L4by MRI. He has had an
EMG by Dr. Dodson on 9/16/94, which was normal except for poly-
ohasics'and decreased recruitment in the left EHL. He has-been
prescribed therapy at All Florida Orthopedics, as well as Morton
Plant Hospital, which did help.. He has been unable to return to
work in a full-duty capacity. Apparently, there is no longer any
light-duty work available.
PAST MEDICAL HISTORY: Noncontributory.
SOCIAL HISTORY: The patient was employed as a gas technician 11,
at Clearwater Gas Company. He is no longer working.
MEDICATIONS: Darvocet, Robaxin and Ibuprofen.
ALLERGIES: No known drug allergies.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION: Physical exam revealed limited lumbar
flexion at the end range. Extension and side bending were full.
Neurologically, manual muscle testing was 5/5. Sensory was dimin-
ished in the left L5 distribution. He was able to stand on his
heels and toes. He had good EHL strength. Reflexes were 2+ in the
knee and ankle. Straight leg raise was negative.
PalpaL•ion of the spine elicited diffuse trigger points in the
lumbar paraspinalis.

RE: Klinske, Gerald
04/26/95 Dr. Lox
IMPRESSION:' L4-5 disc' herniation.
PLAN: At this point, I would recommend that he continue with a
home'exercise program. I do not feel that he is capable of.return-
ing to work in a full.--duty capacity in his previous work at
Clearwater Gas Company as.a gasr technician IX. I 'feel that he is
going to be more suited for a sedentary or light-duty capacity,
where.he is not doing any heavy lifting over-twenty pounds and any,
repetitive bending, twisting, stooping or squatting, activities,' as
this will increase his symptoms. Additionally, I do not recommend
driving 'a truck all day long, as this will exacerbate a disc
herniation. I do feel that he-has sustained a permanent injury and
has a permanent impairment .of 9% of the whole person, based upon
the Florida Guidelines.' In'the future, he may require surgical
.intervention if his symptoms should increase 'or he develops neuro-
logic symptoms.' At the present time, T will recommend continuing.,
him on a home exercise program and I will reassess him depending
upon his,symptoms .

CITY MANAGER
Dear Betty:
We are notifying the City of Clearwater that the Presidents of
the Four. Unions representing the majorityof the Pension Plan
members sincerely wish to continue negotiations on Pension Plan
changes.
As you are aware, Pension changes are a mandatory subject of
bargaining and-must be negotiated in good faith per Florida
Statutes 447.501 - .504. None of the four Unions have waived any
rights to negotiate this subject.
Employee representatives have met with Deputy City Manager
Kathy Rice and City Staff on June 23 and again on June 29th at
which time the City gave their amended Pension Fund language and
a second further amended P.F. language. The Union
representatives and their attorney Lee Dehner have made many
demands and suggested language changes much of which was
submitted to the City on June 19, 1995.
We request that meetings for the purpose of trying to
finalize negotiations of pension changes be set up again as soon
possible for all parties.
Yours Truly,
zai-? Z?:7
