It was <br />stated that if Falcon Heights does not act on this bill <br />before the end of the year, it will die. The Council <br />stated that it was not in agreement with some of the <br />policies set forth in this piece of legislature, particularly <br />mandatory funding on a 20 year instead of !~0 year basis. <br />One of the Council's concerns is the effective date of the <br />bill. One of the firemen, Bert Slama should have retied <br />bef ore now. If the Council adopts this special legislation <br />it is not clear if Mr. Slama will qualify for a pension. <br />However, if the Council could make the bill.-retroactive, as <br />Mr. Ashbach thinks is possible, the problem would be solved. <br />The Firemen present agreed to ha~re the attorney draw up a <br />draft and then submit it to them by about Janua ry 11, 1969 <br />so that they could look it over befcrF the final draft is <br />written up. Robert Bell advised the Council to get in <br />touch with him when they have the draft. After the draft <br />is written, a new acturial statement can be obtained and on this <br />basis the funding can be changed. <br />Onrye Bert Slama starts receiving his pension, the Council <br />wanted to know if he could c cntinue working on a~p.art-time <br />basis as inspector and equipment custodian.
