PE!1sion Advisory Ccmnittee
-2-
JlD'le 4, 1986
The PE!1sion Pdvisory ccmnitt.ee orce a:Jain considered Willie Billups' request for
a non-job-connected disability l;ensioo. Upon consideration of a letter fran Dr.
Merkel stating Mr. Billups is r;ermanently disabled, a vote was taken 00 this
request. Chairman Dunn and John Nicholson voted unanirnoosly to approve this
request .
The Committee considered the request of Chris Kingsley for a job-conne::ted
disability pension due to a knee injury. Upen consideration of the statements
of two doctors, a motion was made to vote 00 this request. Chairman Dunn and
John Nicholson voted in favor of approval of this request.
Discussion ensued regarding this request and the fact the Fire Dep:irtment was
offering Mr. Kingsley the opfOrtunity to return to work as a Fire preventioo
Inspector witoout the neerl to climb stairs and ladders. Chief Davidson assured
Mr. Kingsley and the Committee tlBt Mr. Kingsley would never re required to
fight fires or do any climbing..
See retary Laur sen stated Mr. Kingsley would maintain his tazarCbus duty status
as provided in the pension ordinance as being retirement after 20 years of
seLVic\~ .
See retary Iaurse.n reminded the Canrnittee of a similar situation involving RdJert
Noonan, a Utilities Department employee. Con:essioos were made 00 the part of
this department so Mr. Noonan would not have to nove applian:::es or do le3.vy
lifting. The situations are similar in that neither anployee would be required
to do everything in his job desc ri peicn.
It was anphasized Mr. Kingsley would remain in his current job classificatioo of
Fire Prevention Inspec:tor. The Fire Dep;lrtment would make allatJan:::es for Mr.
Kingsley's injury by not requiring him to climb stairs and ladders during the
course of his duties.
Chairman Dunn questiooed Mr. Kingsley as to what he could and could not <h. Mr.
Kingsley stated he could not 00 his job. Ie stated Chief Davidsion was never a
Fire Inspector and, therefore, does not knOiJ excctly what the job entails.
Chairman Dunn asked Mr. Kingsley if he could 00 the job with the allaY'arces the
Fire Department is willing to make. B; stated 00 feels it would be h3.nnful to
his knee.
,John Nicholson stated he feels they should consider the light duty prop:lsalj
and, in the event Mr. Kingsley canoot do the job, the pe.nsioo should be granted.
If the Fire Department is willing to work with Mr. Kingsley, it should be
considered.
Chairman Dunn stated he will 1) get b:lck with Mr. Kingsley's doctor to detennine
from the doctor's viewpoint whether this profOsal should be considered and 2)
check with the City Manager to re sure the Fire Department has the authority to
make such a pro{X)sal. If the Cbctor (bes not feel Mr. Kingsley can work under
these conditiCX1s, Mr. Dunn will vote to approve the pmsion.
