The
Chairman Dunn asked whether any new Information has been received on Robert Noonan. He was advised
nothing was received. Things will stay the same unlll the documentation (s received.
Frederick Woodard submitted a request to the Committee for a non-Job.connected disability pension. He will
be notified that he needs leuers from two orthopedic doctors before the Committee can consider the request.
Discussion ensued regarding the recent Pension Trustees meeting and the decision made by the Trustees to
allow the attorney Involved '0 submlt more documentation concerning Walter Kosiba and John Welch. Charles
Dunn and John Nicholson vehemenlly slated their objections to the Trustees reversing the decision made by the
Pension Advisory Comml"ee in enher case.
, MUss Lance, Assistant City Attorney, and Secretary Laursen advised the Committee that the Trustees may not
necessarily overturn the Committee's decision. The Trustees are taking the posltlon that they need more time
'to review the material presented to them In that they only receive the Information on Friday and are expected
to make a decision on Monday morning. Therefore, they postponed making a decision until their next meeting
(In two weeks). In the meantime, they granted Walter Kosiba and John Welch a non-job-connected disability
until such time as they make a final decision. Charles Dunn expressed concern that they took this action when
he had been Informed previously the City Manager said they could not grant a non-job-connected disability
pension while further revewlng whether It should be job-connected.
