b. Request for Pension.
o
The Interim City Manager presented the recommendation of the Advisory
Committee, General Employees' Pension Fund that the employee listed below be
granted a job-connected Disability Pension under Section 26.35 of the Employees'
Pension Plan.
John Welch, Police Department, to be effective April 16, 1987.
Mr. Welch was previously granted a non-job connected disability and the
issue of whether or not the disability was job-connected was remanded to the
Pension Advisory Committee.
Discussion ensued regarding the Pension Advisory Committee not holding
a full hearing in this case. The Personnel Director indicated that Mr.
Singletary, attorney representing Mr. Welch, had the doctors' statements updated
and the Pension Advisory Committee did not feel a hearing was necessary.
Concerns were expressed regarding information provided by Police Chief
Klein regarding Mr. Welch's job performance. In response to a question, it
was indicated the psychiatrists who had examined Mr. Welch did not have access
to this information.
G>
Commissioner Regulski moved not to accept the Pension Advisory Committee's
recommendation at this time, that the Pension Advisory Committee forward the
information provided by Chief Klein to the four psychiatrists and request
reevaluations of whether or not Mr. Welch's disability is job-related and
report the results to the Trustees. Hotion was duly seconded and carried
unanimously.
It was stated the City would pay for the reevaluations.
Commission consensus is that the Trustees should meet with the Pension
Advisory Committee regarding these types of issues.
ITEM 114

regarding resolving the 45 year limitation in the Pension Plan. It was
