RETIREMENT APPLICATION
The Board considered a request for retirement from Don Witt, to be effective
January 29, 1987.
Eldon Roberts said that in August of 1986 Witt had suffered a heart attack
and has not been able to work since that time. Roberts told the Board.he.
had a letter from Witt's physician, Dr. Charles Inlow, in which he states
that Witt should not go back to work. He added that Witt had suffered a
stroke about a year prior to the heart attack which caused a vision problem
which has never been completely corrected.
Dr.. Mashburn said he had reviewed Dr. Inlow's letter which states that Witt
had an acute inferior myocardial infarction, a third degree AV block and
arrythmia. Dr. Mashburn said it appears that he is certainly justified in
applying for total and permanent disability, based on the recommendation of
Dr. Inlow. Dr. Mashburn moved approval of the retirement. The motion was
seconded by Eldon Roberts and unanimously approved.
Mike Mitchell commented that Don Witt was a good patrolman who willingly
worked overtime and double shifts.
Dr. Mashburn suggested a letter of commendation should be written from the
Pension Board or from the City Manager to let Witt know he is appreciated
and well thought of. Public Safety Director Coates said he had plans to
write such a letter.
