OTHER BUSINESS
Mr. Williams stated he had agreed with Kathy Skelton's attorney that they would argue the case on
the law. The facts being, Kathy and Roy were mamed during part of the time that he was a fireman.
That they got divorced on or about September 9, 1998. They entered into a qualified domestic
relations order. Roy did not remarry Kathy prior to his death. He was going to say that he was
survived by two minor children, Kelly and Kimberly. He was entitled to receive benefits from the
Firemen's Pension Fund during his life prior to his death. His opinion is that Kathy was not his
spouse. That she was an ex-spouse and therefore she should not receive the pension benefit. That
it should go to the children.
Mr. Doss stated it was his understanding that they would receive the benefit until age twenty-three
if they stayed in college. They had to furnish proof of that they were in college. He did not believe
that they could pay her the money even if they wanted to.
Mr. Williams stated the fund was governed by the State statute and it stated "spouse." He did not
believe that meant someone that he had divorced.
Mr. Doss stated he would like to discuss a benefit increase for volunteer firemen at their next
meeting.
Meeting adjourned at 11:10 a.m.
