Summary Fact Sheet Mayor’s Chief of Staff Chris Hand
addressed the committee in reference to an e-mail he had circulated the
previous afternoon pointing out several instances in which he believed the language
of the amendments drafted by the Office of General Counsel as a result of the
action of the joint Rules and Finance Committee meeting the previous week did
not accurately reflect the committees’ intention as expressed in the meeting.
The committee agreed to several wording refinements to better reflect the
committees’ intent in Gulliford Amendment #4 and #6 and in the Boyer
amendment. The committee discussed how the proposed agreement would affect
the use of Chapter 175/185 insurance rebate funds and the nature of the
future commitment of those funds to payment of annual contributions to the
pension plan versus the granting of year-end bonuses to retirees. In response
to a question from Council Member Schellenberg about the effect of the City
refusing to accept the Chapter 175/185 funds from the state, City pension
consultant Jim Linn stated that the City would be able to change the
composition of the Police and Fire Pension Fund board of trustees (which is
controlled by the legislation that authorizes the “chapter” funds), but noted
that the “chapter” funds are currently pledged to use for specific benefits
and to change that pledged use would require collective bargaining with the
police and firefighter unions. The committee directed the Office of
General Counsel to roll all of the amendments into a Rules Committee substitute,
with the exception of the amendment proposed at the Joint Rules/Finance
Committee meeting last week by John Keane of the Police and Fire Pension
Fund. SUBSTITUTE/APPROVE

Summary Council Member Schellenberg suggested
to Mr. Lopez that all of the City’s parks need to be kept up to a high level
of maintenance, and many currently fail to meet that standard. Council Member
Jones noted the importance of maintaining open lines of communication between
the Parks and Recreation Director and City Council members. Council Member
Carter advocated for hiring City department heads from the local community
and not bringing in candidates who don’t know the City and its particular
needs and preferences. APPROVE
