The Personnel Director brought to the attention of the Advisory Committee a letter
from Wayne E. Starkey, Social Services Coordinator within the Housing Department,
ques'tioning the mandatory inclusion of employees in the Pension Plan when the Plan
does not provide benefits for disability from disease or accident not job connected
until an employee has ten years service with the City. The Adviso~J Committee
asked the Personnel Director to advise Mr. Starkey by letter that the Pension Act
is mandatory on inclusion of City employees subject to age and acceptable physical

the Act.

Pension Advisory Committee meeting
July lO, 1974
Advisory Committee considered a letter from Russell Riendeau requesting a disability
pension. Attached with the letter were two medical statements from Dr. L. J.Cordrey
and Dr. B. L. Bercaw in support of the request. The Personnel Director advised
tho Committee that the Civil Service Board had approved on July 8, 1974 a one year
leave of absence for Detective Riendeau for medical reasons. The Advisory Committee
did not have information relating to whether the disability is or is not job
connected. Therefore, the City Nurse was instructed to check the necessary
records to clarify this question. The Committee asked that the Personnel Director
call a special meeting as soon as the appropriate information is available to
expedite this request.
At the request' of the Personnel Director, the Advisory Committee re-affirmed as a
matter of record the following:
1. Procedure for Pension Physicals (as outlined in the
Personnel Director's Memorandum to all departments
dated February 26, 1974). (Copy attached)
2. Policy regarding the repayment of pension monies to
the Pension Plan from those employees who resign,
withdraw their pension monies, and subsequently
withdraw their resignation.
Meeting adjourned.
Respectfully
