At
the beginning of the meeting Beth McCague, Interim Executive Director of the
Police and Fire Pension Fund, addressed the committee regarding e-mail
correspondence received by City Council members over the past weekend from
Mr. Curtis Lee alleging improprieties by
the PFPF in paying for travel for the former Executive Director and a former
PFPF board member to attend a conference after they were presumably no longer
eligible for board funding for such travel and questioning the awarding of
compensatory time to salaried employees working more than 40 hours in a
workweek. Ms. McCague said that Mr. Lee’s allegations were without merit and
that the PFPF was ready and willing to provide any public record that anyone
may request to substantiate her position.

Summary F: Defer RCDPHS:
Defer Council Member Hazouri noted that the
Finance Committee had deferred action on the bill yesterday pending receipt
of further information, and said that he and Council Member Becton would be scheduling
a noticed meeting in the next week to discuss the bill. Council Member
Brosche suggested adding additional language requiring posting of signage in
places where temporary and day labor are frequently used and Mr. Hazouri will
consider adding language regarding signage for migrant laborers. Chairman
Schellenberg suggested the need to amend the provision regarding the $500
fine for violation to clarify what counts as a violation for failure to post
the required signs – per day the sign is not in place? Per visit by an
inspector that finds a violation? DEFER |
