Charles Kettell
Police Officer
Charles Kettell, Police Officer, has requested a job-connected disability.
His disability is the result of an incident in which Officer Kettell shot and
killed a man. The shooting was justified, however, Officer Kettell continues to
suffer from a post-traumatic stress disorder which doctors consider to be a
permanent condition.
Discussion ensued regarding the need to address the disability portion of
the Pension Plan. Concerns were expressed that while individuals may no longer
be able to perform the duties of the job to which they were hired, they are not
totally disabled as there are other jobs they would be able to perform.
The City Manager indicated alternatives have been investigated and options
are still being explored.
Trustee Winner moved to accept the recommendation of the Advisory
Committee. Motion was duly seconded and carried unanimously.
ITEM #6 - Other Business:
Staff was directed to address the Pension rewrite issue, including
consideration of allowing a person, who is disabled for one job, to change to
another job classification. It was requested that input be obtained from all
parties and that an effort be made to have something ready for a referendum in
conjunction with the County election in November, 1990.
