ROLL CALL
Police Pension Board: General Employee's Pension Board:
Mayor Robert Christy Present Mayor Robert Christy Present
Chief Earl Baugh Present City Clerk Nancy Blazi Present
Patrolman Britain Present Cornelia Kinsey Present
Lt. Rickelman Excused Everett Wilcox Present
Rev. Canova Present Rev. Hardin Present
Also present Mr. Jack Ascherl, Insurance Agent and Joseph Mitchell,
City Manager.
The board discussed the eligibility age for membership in the
pension plan. Presently, employees must be 21 years old to be
eligible to join the pension plan. The City has hired some employees
between the ages of 18 and 21 and these employees are not presently
eligible to join the pension plan. This is discriminatory in view
of the fact that State law allows the hiring of police personnel under
the age of 21. Mr. Ascherl assured the boards that the addition
of a few employees to our present plan would not be costly.
Mr. Britain motioned to recommend to Council that the eligibility
age be reduced from 21 to 18, seconded by Chief Baugh.
Mrs. Kinsey also motioned to recommend the reduction of the eligibility
age from 21 to 18, seconded by Rev. Hardin.
There was a joint roll call and the motions CARRIED unanimously.
Further discussion followed concerning the effective date of this
change.
Mr. Britain motioned to make the changes retroactive to allow
existing employees to get full pension credit, seconded by Chief
Baugh.
Mrs. Kinsey motioned to accept Mr. Britain's motion for the general
employees, seconded by Rev. Hardin.
There was a joint roll call and the motions CARRIED unanimously.
•Chief Baugh motioned to adjourn the meeting, seconded by Rev. Hardin.
Meeting was adjourned.
