PRESENT: Mayor Hanna, Eldon Roberts, Randy Bradley, Dr. Mashburn, Jerry Friend, Hollis Spencer and City Clerk Heather Woodruff. ANGELA MUNSON Mayor Hanna stated the meeting had been called to consider Angela Munson's medical retirement. Dr. Mashbum stated he had spoken with her doctor: She was at risk in her present occupation. She would be at risk in an emergency situation, such as drawing a weapon Any sudden force to her shoulder could put her at risk. Mr. Roberts stated Ms. Munson also has the potential to have problems with her other shoulder. She has not had surgery on it yet. She has completed nineteen years. She is asking for medical retirement, not work related retirement. Dr. Mashburn recommended the board make her eligible for retirement for non -work related health reason. Mr. Roberts seconded the recommendation. Upon roll call the motion carried unanimously. Retirement would be affective as of the 28th of June. TIM HELDER Mr. Roberts explained there had been a law passed during the 1960's which allowed a police officer that had worked at a sheriff's office then transferred to a municipal police agency in the same county to use their sheriffs time to round out their twenty years at the municipal agency they were working at. They had people take advantage of the law several years ago. At first there were no provisions in the law that required those people using their County time to pay any monies into the City's plan. In 1983, the Police Pension Board had met and decided to adopt a sunset clause to allow people working for the department with County time to buy into the plan. The cut off date they had selected had cut Tim Helder out of the deal. Mr. Helder would like to have the option to use his County time. Mr. Bradley moved to table the issue until they were able to find out the capacity in which Mr. Helder had worked for the County. Mr. Spencer seconded the motion. Upon roll call the motion earned unanimously. Meeting adjourned at 2:00 p.m. • •
