If a person decides to appeal any decision made by the Council with respect to any matter considered at such meeting, such person will need a record of the proceedings, and for such purpose, such person may need to ensure that a verbatim record of the proceedings is made, which record includes the testimony and evidence upon which the appeal is to be based.

 

 

 

 

 

Council Member Schellenberg distributed information regarding recent changes to the AT&T Corporation’s pension plan, including a reduction in the discount rate used to calculate the present-day value of future pension obligations and a switch to a more recent actuarial mortality table, both of which are intended to more accurately reflect the actual obligations and asset expectations for the pension fund. Mr. Schellenberg urged the City to adopt more realistic investment return and life expectancy measures to produce a more realistic view of future pension obligations.
