Council Member Clark suggested the need to refer the bill, if amended as proposed, to the Rules Committee given its invocation of an exception to the Ordinance Code.  Council Member Joost spoke in opposition to taking action on the bill without knowing the actuarial impact on the already-underfunded pension plan.  Deputy General Counsel Steve Rohan conveyed the Council President’s desire that the bill be voted on in committee and not deferred for another cycle.  Council Member Webb cited the need to honor the collective bargaining process that produced this bill enacting an agreed-upon benefit.

 

DEFER (Corrigan and Webb opposed)

 

Council Member Yarborough announced that as a result of the Finance Committee’s deferral, the PHS Committee would defer action on the bill today as well.

Council Member Joost made a presentation on pension funding and the impact of previous mayors and city councils taking pension funding holidays and urged that the practice be specifically prohibited in the future.  Council Member Webb asked if the prohibition against pension funding holidays, if adopted, could be strengthened by imposing a super-majority vote requirement to override.  Mr. Rohan stated that the only way to impose such a requirement is by amending the City Charter, since the Council can waive any Ordinance Code provision, including a super-majority requirement, by a simple majority vote.
