Pension Advisory Committee Meeting
February 20, 1985
Alan Zinunet stated he would advise the Conunittee to continue with the method they have
been using and if Holsapple or his attorney have an objection they can certainly
challenge it in a court of law which will decide whether what you did is correct.
If you want to have doctors brought to the meetings or if you want to call doctors that
is up to the Committee.
Chairman Zukowski stated he was going to have a letter sent to Dr. Jeserski requesting
cla~ification of his letter.
Alan Zimmet said with regard to last meeting he thought the 'Committee wanted to send
Holsapple to an independent physician. Has the Committee dropped the idea of an
independent physician? According to the last meeting, Mr. Zimmet thought the Committee
wanted to send Mr. Holsapple to another orthopedic surReon. Apparently there is another
opinion from Dr. Wassel but nothing from an independent physician. Has that been rejected
by 'the Committee? This was left up to Mr. Holsapple as to whether he wanted to go along
with this. Mr. Zimmett said it was his understanding that Mr. Holsapple was to come back
today and give a yes or no to seeing another physician. Mr. Laursen stated it was his
understanding that the meeting concluded with the recommendation that consideration be
given to the Board coming up with an independent physician and Mr. Griesinger was to
discuss this with Mr. Holsapple after the meeting and either get back with Mr. Zirnmet
and tell him whether or not that was agreeable or come back to the Committee. There
was a recommendation made by Jay Love and Claude Zukowski at the last meeting that he
have the further tests. Rick Griesinger stated he would prefer to go along with what
Charles Dunn just talked about that he call the doctors and talk to them. Attorney
Griesinger said that John Holsapple would refuse to go to another doctor.
,
,
Skip Kroeger said he had a request to the Board. Sometime previous, Firefighter
Verhoeven made a request of the Committee to solicit an opinion from the City Attorney
in regard to his pension benefits. Committee advised Mr. Kroeger that an opinion was
'made by the City Attorney. He was accepted under the Pension Plan based on his previous
service. He was to go under pension as of the date he went into the Military Service.
This information will be forwarded to Firefighter Verhoeven again.
For the record, Personnel Director Laursen advised the Committee that ~hey had received
a response on the Monty Krysko case as to its status. Committee was advised Hearing
is to be held March 13~ 1985 re Krysko.
be adjourned. Seconded by Charles Dunn and motion carried.
