Absent: Dean Harris. The minutes of the last regular meeting on April 5, 1971, a copy of which had previously been distributed to each of the Board Members, were approved. The Secretary presented the Authorization Form to pay the April pensions and noted that Clarence W. Tune and L. Burl Skelton had been added to the list and the amount of their pension checks had been prorated from April 5, the date their Retirement Applications were presented to the Board for action. City Manager Howe reported that City Attorney David Malone was making an investigation in connection with Mr. Skelton's pension eligibility • and his investigation had not been completed at the time of this meeting. After discussion by the Board, Mr. McWhorter moved that the April dis- bursements be allowed contingent upon the findings of the City Attorney with respect to Mr. Skelton's eligibility. The motion was seconded by Mr. Fraley, and upon roll call the following vote was recorded: "Aye", McWhorter, Fraley, Logue and Springston. "Nay", None. There being four "Ayes" and no "Nays", the Chairman declared the motion passed. Treasurer Tobin discussed the Financial Statement for the period ended April 30, 1971, and also reported to the Board information he had obtained concerning a question raised at the last meeting concerning the Financial Statement. He reported that the figure for the 3% Officers Contribution Fund was a running total rather than a total for the year. Treasurer Tobin reported that the $105,000 reinvestment at the First Federal at 6% interest had been taken care of, as authorized at the last meeting. Mr. McWhorter reported that it had been called to his attention that a law had been put into effect which would allow this Board to authorize an increase in the retirement pay of Allen Strain. He stated that he would like to discuss this matter with the rest of the Fire Department members before further action is taken. The Fire Department members will be meeting Thursday night, May 6, 1971, at which time this matter could be 0 brought to their attention. He further indicated that if the members present at that meeting are favorable toward this action, this Board might wish to call a Special Meeting to officially authorize an increase in Allen Strain's retirement check prior to the preparation of the May disbursement list. There being no further business, Mr. Fraley moved that the meeting be adjourned. The motion was seconded by Mr. Logue and passed unanimously, whereupon the Chairman declared the meeting adjourned.
