During this t�ma my status as an �m�loyea was exac�fy �he samo� and as far as I ha�e been able to �eam, the pension law �lways stated that f� trustees had the autharity to decide who was eligib�e to part�apate �n the ptan. We tust had not be�n allowe� #o ep�r for ssc�mme reason �rrown anfy to Mr. Weimer. At the �mQ ! was approv�ed, I asked Mr. Laursen if I wvuld ba able to g�et credit becic to my 19fi9 employmont date. This was v�ry �mportant #o me as I was losing almost �ive years Q? credit that 1 should ha�e beea� allowed �o have, effect�ng both my re�rement date and tha pens�an I would �var�tuaffy recei�e. Mr. l.aursen discu�sed this with Mr. Wa(mar� but w�s nerrer ��ren an answsr. As we woriced tor Mr. We�mer� there was no turlher recourse. In 1984� as a result af a lawsu#t, empioyaes were g�ven the option of trcryin#� t�c�: eli�ibi�ity to thv earliest possible pension participatlon date. The form ! received stated thaY !�uld buy badc one manth af �me, irom June 29, i974, to May 22� i974. This was the per�od betwves� the Pension Advisory Cor�rr��ttee's approval o# my app�ica�on and approval by the Trustees, i thougMt 1 should be al�owed to raise the issue af the gour and ane haSf years that I had been derried participation. It seemed to me that since the trusiees had deiermined ihat I was a p�rmanent emplayee and eligible to partic�pate in the pl$n, �nd since r�y status had not changed since my boginning date, my earllest partic�patbn da#e must be October 2?,� 1969, the day I begar� my care�r with the City. Furthermdre, my siiva�on was different from the issue in the !aw su�# as the su�t efifected all employees who had not been allawed to participate for their s�x months probaEionary per�od, while my part;cular situaiion dealt with four and one half years of serviaa that � alono had been denied. 1 discussed this with Mr, Laursan astcing what recvurse � migh# have. He s�ggested I raise this quest�on with th�e Pension Advisory Committee. � wrot� a memorandum to Mr. Clauda Zukowski, the chafrmar� o# the commlttee ofl M�rch �3, 19i34, asking the c�mmittee to cons�der my si.tuation and see if they could come up with a way for me io get pen5ion credit far my fuli t�me of empbymertt. I never rece#ved an answor in sp�te at asking Mf. Zukowski wha� was happening with my request several times. I as�Ced Mr. l„aurse� about whaE further steps I should take. We both wo�lced for Mr. Weimsr, and Mr. Laursen and I both fett #hat afnce he had never responded to my inquirles it wouid not be wi�e to push the issue. In 1987, a pension rewri#a cam�nittee was set up #n address needed changes in the pensior� plan. Mr. L�ursen and l again discussed my situation and dec�ded 1 shou�d ra�se tho issue witt� the committee to s�e �f they couid �dentiiy a methai that would a�fow me to rec:etv�e credit #or my fu�� lengt#� ot er�np�oymer�t I wrrote to #he canmittea rec�ues#ing they aonsider my prvWem. O�ce again, I re�eivad no respons�. ! am convince� th�t Mr. Welme� d�d not address this problem as ha dtd not Iike bo do anything that wouid lncrease anyone's pension bene�its. This was his way o� pr�atecti�g tf�e r+esources ot ihe p�ns#on Tund. � aiso i�ink that by tfx� time Mr. Weimef reb�ed �rom th� City, nobody knew what to do abaut my situa�on as �t had never happened befora or sinca, so they did nothir�g. !n tt�s ini�rvening years, I have raised the question of my pension wzth sever�l City Managers and Assistant C�ty Manag�rs. The last person 1 discuss�d this with was Deputy Gity Nlanag�r Kathy A�ce who was responsible fnr pension issu�. She suggested i r�ise tf�e issue upc�n my r�tirement. V�Ihen 1 wa� considg�ing retirement during the summer months of 1998, I r�Ised this issu� w�th the City At�orney and with my personal attom�e�. They bot� �civ�sed me to �piy for my pension using �e date of my or�g�naf employmerrt, Octob�r 27t � 969. I have had a wonderful career with the City and have accompiished muc� that 1 am p�oud a�. a���r,� my r�e�y ��r� y�, I dFd make every offort I saw to i�ave �n equi#able so�ution ta my pens�an eEigibility date tssue withau# jeopardizing my career. ! ha�e sufierQd irom an arbitrary action taken many years ago to reduce cos� to tf� pension f�nd.
