MAYOR JUNKER announced that this meeting was called to discuss a pension
increase for the Fire Relief Association and a compensation increase for
the Volunteer Firemen.
RICHARD COLEMIER explained the present pension situation and also explained
the effect on increasing the pension from $600 to $900, or to $1,000.
According to the actuarial survey conducted, the City would not be
required to pay anything to fund the pension if it was raised to $900, but
would have to pay about $5,80C a year (at least for 1980) if the pension were
to be increased to $1,000.
COUNCILMAN HARRY PETERSON said that he felt this was a negotiating item
and even if it had not been considered as such in the past, it should,
for the record, be considered as such now.
He suggested that the City not take any action on this matter until
after the contract was settled with the regular firemen.
On motion of Councilman Roger Peter on, seconded by Councilwoman
Ann Bodlovick, the Council tabled at., action until after the
Firefighter's Association Contract is settled. (all in favor)
JOHN ZOLLER, representing the Volunteer Firemen presented graphs and other
data showing comparisons between the regular firefighters compensation
increases over the last few years and the compensation increases for the
volunteers.
MR. ZOLLER also presented a list of suggested increases for the
Volunteers.
On motion of Councilman Powell, seconded by Councilman Roger
Peterson, the Council directed the Finance Director /Coordinator
to cost out the suggested increases and submit them to the Council
by November 30, 1979.
A meeting was also scheduled for 4:30 P. M., November 30, 1979.
