ITEM #4 - Request for Pension:
The City Manager' presented the recommendation of the Advisory Committee,
General Employees' Pension fund that the employees listed below be granted a job-
connected pension under Section 26.~5 and/or 26.27 of the Employees' Pension
Plan.
o
1) Paul Carter
H. M. Laursen, Personnel Director, stated staff is requesting the Trustees
remand consideration of a job-connected disability to the Pension Advisory
Committee. He stated that Mr. Carter has Crohn's Disease which is stress
related. However, in looking at documentation provided, there is some question
regarding whether or not the condition existed prior to Mr. Carter becoming a
Police Officer. The recommendation is to approve a non-job-connected disability
at this time, remanding consideration of the job-connected disability to the
Pension Advisory Committee.
Discussion ensued regarding the need to tighten up on requlrlng submission
of medical records. The Personnel Director indicated the Trustees need to
communicate to the Pension Advisory Committee what the Committee should be
requesting in regard to medical history. He stated currently, they only require
two or three letters from doctors to establish a disability claim. It was
requested that a list of questions that should be asked, be provided to the
Pension Advisory Committee.
Trustee Regulski moved to grant a non-jab-connected disability pension to
Paul Carter and to remand consideration of a job-connected disability to the
Pension Advisory Committee. Motion was duly seconded and carried unanimously.
2) William Harvey
Mr Harvey has requested a job-connected disability due to an injury to his
knee while on his job as a fire fighter.
Discussion ensued regarding the fact that Mr. Harvey may be disabled to be
a fire fighter but there are other jobs he could perform. Conce}'ns were
expressed regarding one doctor stating that he felt, with an operation, Mr.
Harvey could go back to work.
Discussion ensued regarding the need to address the Pension Ordinance. In
particular, the authority of the Pension Advisory Committee and the Trustees. It
was indicated that we will be required to bargain with the Unions prior to
