Council Member Lumb proposed a substitute to increase the amount of JSO savings to be carried over to

FY12-13 from $6.12 million to $10.5 million.  The committee discussed the rationale for the emergency request and debated whether the matter would be more appropriately dealt with in the upcoming budget hearings.  Sheriff Rutherford urged emergency action so that he can begin making preparations for the orderly shutdown of several programs and facilities and the lay-off of staff if that is Council’s decision.

 

The motion to consider the bill as an emergency failed 3-3.

Council Member Crescimbeni gave an overview of effort to change the method of appointment of one of the five members of the board from joint selection by the other four board members to selection by the City Council.  In response to a question from Council Member Lumb about whether the selection method for the board is enshrined in the 30 year agreement between the City and the Police and Fire Pension Fund, Deputy General Counsel Steve Rohan indicated that it was not.  In response to a question about which would prevail – the Charter or the 30 year agreement – if the issue was covered in the agreement, Peggy Sidman indicated that the question would need to be properly researched.
