City Attorney Shellan was present and the matter was presented in regard to splitting costs of medical and hospital bills between the Firemen's Pension Board Fund and other agencies which may cover such liabilities. Mr. Shellan advised that before an expenditure can be authorized from the Pension and Relief Fund it is necessary to determine if the illness or injury was service connected but any such bills should not be split with part payment being made by each agency. The report issued by Dr. Heilpern, regarding Fireman John Parks, Jr., was checked over by the Board Members. It was moved by Alexander, seconded by Sherertz, and unanimously carried that the matter be redirected to the Doctor for the purpose of ascertaining whether the illness complaint was more likely than not to have been incurred while in the performance of the subject's duties with the Ren- ton Fire Department, inasmuch as the wording in the present medical statement "may haue.been"would not be legally sufficient to allow the bill. The Board, before acting on any bill, must have competent medical statement verifying that the illness in question was approximately caused or at least connected to the job.

Walsh, Fireman A Special Meeting of the Firemen's Pension Board was held at Fire Station No. 1 with the City Attorney and Members of the Fire Department. All Board members were present. Chairman Aliment called the meeting to order and explainedlne purpose of same to be for clarifying some of the provisions of the 1961 Session Laws, Chapter 255. A question and answer period followed. City Attorney Shellan advised that prior to the 1961 Act, with specific reference to the 1955 Act, payments were not provided for disability not incurred in line of duty. The 1961 Act allows compensation to Firemen in the event of disability incurred outside his regular performance of duty, under Non-service connected disability provisions. If a disability due to injury or sickness renders a Fireman unable to continue his service he may make certain application to the Board for retirement. Upon retirement being recommended by the Board, which may be for a non-service connected disability, allowance is provided based upon a percentage of basic pay, and for a period of ninety days following such disability medical or hospital care shall be provided. Inquiry was made relative to a person having a few days off and going skiing, breaking his leg requiring doctor and hospital care, thereby being unable to perform his duties as a fireman. The City Attorney advised that upon proper medical finding that a dis- ability exists, the man would be entitled to compensation for hospital and medical care up to ninety days. However, if the accident were resultant from dissipation, abuse, or employment other than while engaged as a fireman then the compensation would not apply. S: A man had been working until Monday. Tuesday and Wednesday are days off and having a headache and not feeling well he obtains a prescription for pills. He returns to work Thursday. Is he entitled to reimbursement or payment of his medical. A: No, unless physician certifies him to have been disabled. g: A Fireman is on call 24 hours but is unable to respond due to illness. Would he then be entitled to compensation? A: If illness is limited to a day the Fireman is off duty and not working and is called but unable to respond the facts would not be altered,and according to the intent of the Act, payment of medical bills would not be warranted. There must be a disability and the finding of such disability having prevented performance of his regular duties before eligibility is established. _Q: If a fireman becomes ill the day his vacation began but he is able to return to work at the end of the vacation period could he secure payment for bills incurred in connection with the illness. A-.No. FIREMENtS PENSION AND RELIEF BOARD MINUTES (Cont.) 12-1a-61 Question and answer period: VA . Q: Assuming a fireman becomes ill and it is either service or non- service connected, could any portion be run through King County Medical. Would it be possible to apply to King County for the doctor bill and to the Pension Board Fund for medical. A: It would not be advisable to split it. The Pension Board should pay all of it or nothing. By splitting it you establish a policy of doubtful legality. King County Medical could invoke the right of subrogation. If run into by another car and King County pays all the bill, you subsequently make claim against the other party and collect also from their in- surance carrier, King County has the right to recover costs from you every time. If you have collected from the Pension Board there is no established policy and you could collect twice. Q: If a Fireman had an accident, ie, going through a red light hits another car, breaking his own back, would he be entitled to collect his doctor and medical from the Board even though it was definitely his fault. A: You do not have to prove that you are completely free from negligence or fault. If the man were under the influence of liquor this would alter the situation and it would be considered the result of abuse, however, for ordinary neglect he would be covered under the 90-day provision, non-service connected dis- ability. Dissipation or abuse was discussed relative to the use or influence of alcohol it being pointed out that one drink means a reading of 1.5. Inquiry also followed regarding the requirement that disability retirement must be applied for and attention subsequently called to the fact that a disability might be only for one week. Disability being a medical question, the Act implies that there should be some medical finding of disability. No law exists forcing application for retire- ment. g: What about the common cold or flu that requires medication. How will that be classified? A: If the doctor states it to be service connected he could receive medical payments. If not service connected and no time is lost from work, he could not claim non-s-ervice disability and could not receive payments. Doctors rely on case history and the Board must have some evidence to rely on. It is up to each fireman to give the doctor adequate case history for payments on medical matters. Chairman Aliment asked"How well do you like your Pension Law and how much do you want to abuse it."? g: What if you have a cold and go to a fire and within three weeks T.B. is found. Wouldn't this be a service connected disability? Would it be best to stay within -the act and not file with King County. You could have complications later. A: You should be sure to secure evidence to establish it service connected. Comment was made that in going all the way with the act in service connected disability was-bad' the firemen should try to save the Pension Board money where it is not service connected . In such cases King County should be requested to make payment as sooner or later the Pension Fund may be in difficulty. r -2- FIREMEN'S PENSION AND RELIEF BOARD MINUTES (Cont.) 12-15-61 Question and Answer Period +�- Fireman Strom inquired whether a man who had retired on disability and who was drawing the 50% pay for any period, such as a year, would receive credit for the full amount of contributions upon returning to worlk, as he had in the Pension Fund when he went on disability. Fireman Strom added that if retired at the age of 55 income tax is not paid on pension moneys until as much has been drawn as had personally been contributed. _A:- City Attorney Shellan advised he would not want to answer the inquiry without checking. S: Inquiry was made regarding performance of duties whereupon an ankle is sprained and the person cannot ride the rig or perform his regular duty but can work otherwise. A: You are performing 100% if you are assigned to the desk. _Q: When a physicians report states"possibly"in connection with service connected injury or illness what action may be taken. A: The word "possibly" is not sufficient. "More probably than not" should be used. As there was no further discussion or questions the question and answer session was closed. The Special meeting of the Firemen's Pension Board followed. Chairman Aliment called the special meeting to order at 11:30 a.m. r... All Board members were present as well as the City Attorney and a number of members of the Fire Department.

Walsh, Fireman A s-)ecial meet--ng of the Firemen's Penson and Relief Board was called to order by Mayor Aliment, Chairman at 10:00 A.M. on August 3rd. All board members were present as listed, also City Attornc-.y Shellan and Messrs. Chuck Glasford and Bob Seifert, representing King County Medical Scrvice Bureau. Mayor Aliment outlined the purpose of t_i .s meeting was an endeavor to clarify the dividing line between participz:cion in medical charges between the King County Medical Service Bureau and the Firemen's Pension Fund. Messrs. Glasford and Seifert informed the Board that King County Medical Ser- vice Bureau would provide the benefits of the offers according to the terms of their medical plan with the City, right to the lette_^ of the contract. If the nature of the illness or injury is job-connected this is considered an occupational hazard and King County Medical's coverage would not amply. The Bureau is not concerned with the submission of bills to the Firemen's Pension Board, which have already been paid by t'^a Burca:a. Their attitude is the same as applies to any subscriber who may have duple^ate coverage under a similar ty, e of insurance. Any steps taken in connection -- with the submission of a claim to other insurance companies does not concern them. There is no exclusion as to any other type of payment, except under their Third-Party Liability Clause, the application of which was explained. No benefits are provided according to the terms of the King County Medical contract with the City for personal injuries resulting from acts or omissions for which a third person may be legally liable, but in the event such third person fails to provide medical and surgical care then King County Medical till, upon application, pay transportation and hospital- _zation costs to the extent of their medical elan with the City In such case if the If J_njured person collects any sums for damages, then that person would be liable to Icing County Medical for reasonable charges in connection with services provided. As an illustration, Mr. Glasford stated that if a fireman were involved in an accident of any nature, in which the liability was determined to be that of the other party, and no faint of the fireman, then the fireman could be requested to sign subrogation papers authorizing King County Medical to recover their reasonable charges from the individuals responsible for the accident. In answer to a question whether the Fire- men's Pension Board could be considered the Third Party and correspondingly recovery made from them, Mr. Glasford advised they could hardly be considered as such in the: sense being discussed, this being the case only if the Board had physically caused or contributed to the injury or illness. Mr. Shell= informed the Board that 'Third Pawty Liability' ordinarily refers to the party who has contributed to, or caused the Injury or accident. Some of the services and exclusions under King County's Medical Plan with the City were explained by their representatives. This coverage does not include cost >f medication for home and office care. Hospital bed and board is provided in tie maximum amount of $21.50 per day. Hospital service incidentals as outlined in the contract, are provided in full. This includes use of surgical operating rooms, I Minutes of: Special Meeting - Firemen's Pension and Relief Board August 3, 1962 'age 2. equipment, .laboratory tests requested by the physician, among others. Hospital_ser mom - vices are limited to 70 days per condition, with certain provisions under 'Exhibit D' of the contract entitled 'Major Medical Benefits' providing for certain services up to two years, with limitations as outlined (Sec contract) . Persons travelling or temporarily out of the state in any part of the world when in need of emergency ser- vice, are entitled to reimbursement for expenses for such services in an amount that would not exceed the charges that King County Medical would have allowed for physician or hospital e;u view rendered within King County. The hospital providing said service in this case must be accredited and the physician a doctor of medicine. The same would apply for medical services rendered within the State of Washington, but tempor- arily outside of King County, with the additional stipulation that the doctor in this case be a member of the County Medical Bureau or the local medical society. In both of the aforementioned instances, charges for ambulance calls, not exceeding the amount payable in King County, would be allowed. Mr. Glasfo:?d stated that hospitals refer to a manual which outlines the cover- age of various medical plans„ King County Medical Service operates under a contrac- tual agreement with the persons who offer their services under the medical plan, and will accept ass full payment a lesser amount than if billing the patient directly. A question relating to payments for medical bills from the Firemen's Pension Find fog treatment of colds and influenza was directed to the City Attorney. Mr. Shellan odv:is2d that applying this question to non-service connected illness only, that ur_le:,,, the board makes a proper finding based upon physician's examination and -report; `U-hal', th*T.s is a disabling illness, under the law the Board could not properly allow pa,�rent, norcould such bills be paid if the illness occurred on the fireman's time off duty, This is not the intent of the law. Mr. Shellan stressed the importance of informing the person upon application for medical e--v-cew, relative to the coverage provided under the King County Medical Contract w.th the City and request that bills be submitted directly to the Medical Bureau by the pe.^"son rendering the service, He added that you have a medical plan and you should take advantage of it. You are ;,pending public funds for public pur- pose, and not t_- .Ing advantage of the protection offered., The Board que-stioned Mr. Shellan relative to the legality of paying these He adv-.!.,-,cd that the Board would be within its legal rights to allow such pay- ment cove-ing non-service connected illness or injury, providing as heretofore men- tioned that it is a disabling illness or injury, findings having been determined upon proper medical examination and report. He again informed the Board that such medical care cou;_d be provided for a period of ninety days, unless the disability were theresuJ_v of dissipation or abuse,, or employment outside his regular duties as a Fireman. A question was raised relative to a patient requiring a private hospital room. Mr. Gla- ord stated that $21.,50 is the maximum allowance by King County Medical for bcd and bo^.-gid while hospitalized. Mr. Shellan informed the group that if the seri- ousnecs of the illness would require such privacy, then it would be a matter for the Board to determine whether or not they would pay the difference involved. -- r Minutes of• Special Meeting - Firemen's Pension and Relief Board August 3, 1962 'age 3. Mayor Aliment stressed that Firemen, for their own protection, should consider the fact that tax funds and other revenues are used to support both the Firemen's Pension Fund and to provide the benefits for employees under King Ccunty's Medical Plan. Abuse of privileges might result in the loss of some of the present benefits. Firemen should consider how well they like their Pension Fund and the benefits af- forded them through the medical plan. He compared the amount of tax moneys appro- priated for Fire Department purposes and Firemen's Pension, as compared to all other municipal uses. A previous opinion by the City Attorney relative to the inadvisability of plitting medical bills between the Pension Fund and the Medical Service Bureau was brought up at this time. Mr. Shellan advised that this would not be applicable where bills are submitted directly to the Bureau. At this time the City Attorney and King County representatives were excused in order that the Board might consider routine matters. The secretary presented a bill from K's Prescription Pharmacy dated June 16, 1962, account Paul Henry, in the amount of $5.10. Moved by Walsh, seconded by Sherertz, that this bill be allowed. Carried. A bill from Dr. Jacob Wagner in the amount of $23.00, account Mr. Karl Strom, was read. Moved by Gossett, seconded by Walsh, that this bill be returned to Mr. Strom for referral to King County Medical Service Bureau, or further clarification. Carried. Moved by Gossett, seconded by Walsh, that all Firemen be notified that it is the personal responsibility of each individual, upon making application for medical services covering non-service connected illness or injury to inform the physician and/or hospital of present coverage under the City's medical plan, further direct- ing that charges for services rendered be billed directly to the King County Medical Service Bureau. Carried. It was further moved by Gossett, seconded by Sherertz, that in the event additional charges for medical services over and above the amount collectible under the City's medical contract, then such amount may be presented to the Board for consideration, supported with report from examining physician. Carried. There being no further business to come before the Board at this time, upon motion of Nelson, seconded by Walsh and carried, meeting was adjourned.

BOARD MEMBERS FIREMEN'S PENSION AND RELIEF FUND BOARD MINUTES .;onald W. Custer, Mayor-Chairman July 17, 1964 Dorothea Gossett, City Treasurer Helmie Nelson, City Clerk-Secretary Gerald Nichols, Fireman Jack Pringle, Fireman A special meeting of the Firemen's Pension Board was called to order at 11:30 a.m. by Chairman Custer and all members of the Board were present as listed. City Attorney Shellan and Fireman Marvin Sherertz were also in attendance. Mayor Custer explained that the purpose of t; e meetinL was to consider the matter of disability of Fireman Sherertz. Physician's report from Dr. Leavitt was read after which an opinion vas requested of the City Attorney whether the Board, on the basis of this report, could declare Fireman Sherertz inactive and his disability service-connected. Mr. Shellan stated tl:at the report was in- consistent as submitted and the Board could make no determination until a more satisfactory statement was received from the Doctor, confirming that the injury or illness was a-44-ii2t result of duties in the fire department. Such statement,or one that it was more probable than not that the disability was service connected,would be required before the Board could make a finding.to that effect. Fireman Sherertz requested a clarification of the sick-leave benefits to which he would be entitled under Ordinance 2044. Discussion ensued as to whether he would be entitled *o use accumulated sick leave under the City Ordinance, prior to Pension Board Disability ,verage and Mr. Shellan stated that it was not anticipated that a Fireman would be en- titled to two types of coverage, sick leave and disability when the pension law was passed and inasmuch as the Board must certify that the period of disability is to commence on June 1st, this would be duplicate coverage. The time of payment could be deferred until such time as the sick leave to which he has been entitled has been used. Moved by Pringle, seconded by Nelson, that the Board make the following findings: THAT, Pursuant to RCW 41.18.050 and RCW 41.18.080, Fireman Sherertz is entitled to his disability for a period of six months from date of disability (June 1st) if service-connected and for a ninety day period in event the disability is non-service connected. In addition thereto, 'ordinance No. 2044 allows each full time City Employee certain sick leave benefits up to a maximum of 90 days. It has been determined therefore that such disabled person, as provided by law, shall be entitled to his accrued sick leave benefits pursuant to Ordinance No. 2044, and upon expiration of such benefits he shall be entitled to receive his statutory disability payments. It is provided, however, that the commencement of such disability period shall be determined and fixed based upon the Physician's Report, but the time of payment therefor deferred until the sick leave benefits have been used up. clarification from the Doctor on the Physician's Report as to the origin andhe s requests cause of the injury for the purpose of determining whether service-connected or not. An additional report shall be submitted by Fireman Sherertz at the next Firemen's Pension Board Meeting. Moved by Pringle, seconded by Nelson, that the meeting adiourn. Carried.

Carried. Following discussion regarding disability status of Fireman Sherertz, it was moved by Nichols, seconded by Pringle, that based upon the Physician's Report, the Board finds that Fireman Sherertz was disabled as a result of his duties in the Fire Department. Carried. Fire Chief- Walls requested that the matter of sick leave credits be discussed stating that if a fireman is injured on the job and placed on disability for six months and also receives up to 90 days of sick leave, the Fire Department would be faced with a vacancy for a period which could be for as much as nine months, a very undesirable situation. Fireman Nichols stated a determination is to be made whether or not the firemen areentitled to sick leave.-City'Attorney She-Ilan recalled that the Board by motion at the previous meeting had allowed the disabled Fireman would use up his accumulated sick leave, no determination regarding disability status being submitted by the Physician at that time. Attention was called to inconsistency in the Pension Law and the City Ordinance. The purpose of the City's Ordinance was to allow an employee to collect his pay when sick or disabled - to pay him what he ordinarily receives if he had not been sick. It was not the intent of the City to provide duplicate protection for the firemen by providing sick leave privileges plus disability pay which would be the case if both coverages are allowed. The sick leave was meant to provide benefits assuming there was no other coverage,, however this is a matter for the legislative body - to determine whether sick leave should be granted in addition to the disability allotment. It is a matter of intent and also a matter of fairness to the City. Fireman Sherertz agreed that it was a bad policy to have a position vacant for nine montlis but the State Law allows disability for six months from disability date. He is agreeable to leaving his sick leave credited to his account at present and going on disability as of June 1st, but would like to see the matter settled. Moved by Nichols, seconded by Pringle, that the Board find Fireman Sherertz disabled in the line of duty and that he be declared inactive, effective June 1, 1964 for a period not to exceed six months, during which time he shall receive dis- ability allowance equal to his basic salary and be provided with medL cal, nursing and hospital care as long as the disability exists in accordance with R.C.W. 41.08.060.

Carried. Old Business: Discussion ensued regarding inactive status of Fireman Marvin Sherertz and various opinions were expressed as to whether retirement at the end of his inactive period of 11-30-64 was mandatory or should be effected. The Secretary reported,relative to the Board's request for determination by the City Council as to whether the City's sick leave plan should be allowed prior or after inactive status of Firemen, that Fire and mater Committee report had established it to follow the disability period and algo recommended a change in the City's Sick Leave Ordinance. Moved by Gossett, seconded by Nelson, that the Current Fund Claim for reimburse- ment be paid and the cash transfer be effected this month for disabilities of John Alexander, $1,088.00 from 8-26-64 to 10-16-64 and Marvin Sherertz, $3,015.00 from 6-1-64 through 10-15-64.

Moved by Gossett, seconded by Pringle that the Secretary be directed to contact Dr. Michel to arrange for physical examination for the next applicant on the eligible list for position in the Renton Fire Department.

City Treasurer Gossett reported that Government Bills earn from 2, to 4%, Savings and Loan Associations, 4 to 414% with maximum allowed of $10,000.00 investment. Both of these are now being utilized and also invest- ments have been made in City of Renton L.I.D. 's bearing interest rates from 4.25% to 4.755/.. The $10,000.00 maximum allowance limits the bank investments until such time as more banks are available, trips having been made all over the State by Mrs. Gossett to make the present investments.

Custer, Mayor-Chairman Dorothea Gossett, City Treasurer Helmie Nelson, City Clerk �.• Jack Pringle Jack Colombi Chairman Custer called the special meeting of the Firemen's Pension Board to order at 9:30 a.m. for the purpose of discussing retirement status of Fireman Sherertz. All members of the Board were present. City Attorney Shellan was also in attendance. Fireman Pringle opened the discussion with question of whether actions taken have been correct as far as the legal aspect is concerned,specifically with regard to expiration on November 30th of the inactive period and possible conflict with statutes by not retiring Fireman Mary Sherertz at the end of the six months per R.C.I.1. 41.18.060. Treasurer Gossett expressed opinion that the City's sick leave benefits should be allowed prior to the period of inactive status being effective. Fireman Pringle outlined the provisions of the statute wherein it states that when a fireman is disabled in the line of duty and the Board has received proper medical report to substantiate that it is job connected, the Fireman is placed on an inactive status and for a period of six months he receives disability allowance equal to his basic monthly salary. Marv's inactive status began June 1st and expired on November 30th. If he was unable to return to �7ork at that time, should the Board have retired him? It was felt that an opinion was needed concerning this portion of the statute. Secretary Nelson quoted from R.C.W. 41.18.050 which authorizes the Board, if it deems it for the good of the Fire Department and the Pension Board, to recommend the re- tirement of a fireman disabled in the line of duty, but he must be given a30 days written notice of the recommendation. Mayor Custer advised City Attorney Shellan of some question as to whether sick benefits under the City's plan would apply first or last, the Council for the present time having acknowledged that the provision should follow the inactive period. The Board,based upon medical reports had determined this disability to be job connected and established June lst as beginning of the inactive period, which six months period terminated on 11-30-64. In the event retirement were recommended and 30 days notice is required would Mary be retired following the period covered by accumulated sick leave! City Attorney Shellan stated the Board did not have Physician's reports at the time the disability occurred. Once the Board determines it to be job connected, based upon competent medical evidence, the period or disability runs from the time the disability occurred. The State Law is controlling first and takes precedence over City Ordinances. The City sick leave plan therefore would follow, being regulated by City Ordinance. There are two retirement provisions in the State Laws which are not consistent. In one case, the 1955 act, the Fireman has the right to request retirement and the Board may consult a physician to determine whether he should be retired, or the Board, if it deems it for the best interest of the Department and Pension Board, may recommend retirement which would become effective after 30 days written notice has been given. On the other hand, R.C.W. 41.18.060 has mandatory provision that at the end of six months the Fireman shall be retired if unable to return and perform his duties. Mr. Shellan advised the Board to select a physician to examine Fireman Sherertz,and that 1113 condition as of November 30th be included in a report to the Board was the concensus of opinion in further discussion. It was determined that the 30 days following the six months disability would be funded from the City Payroll and covered by sick leave benefits, request to be made of the Fire Department as to number of accumulated hours now credited to Marv's records. Moved by Gossett, seconded by Colombi, that Fireman Sherertz request report from Ire Dr. Leavitt, his attending physician on his physical condition on 11-30-64 as well as the present time and in addition the Board arrange for examination by an orthopedic specialist who is to be furnished with case history from Dr. Leavitt. -1- �r Firemen's Pension Fund Board Meeting (cont.) 12-22-64 The Board will have independent reports from the two Physicians and may determine that the doctors are in agreement protecting the Fireman and the Board. Further discussion ensued relative to ability to return to work at the end of the six months period and City Attorney Shellan again pointed out that the Board may retire for the good of the Fire Department and the Firemen's Pension Fund, giving the Board discretion if it is doubtful whether the work could be done and the other section simply states that if unable to return to work the Fireman should be retired. A man may have recuperated from his injuries and the Board still feel that he may not be able to perform his duties and may therefore recommend retire- ment. Question on the pending motion to secure two physician's reports was put to vote and upon request roll call vote was taken as follows: Aye: Gossett, Nelson, Custer. No: Prinf*le and Colombi. Motion carried. The Secretary was directed to select an orthopedic doctor and suggested were Dr. Ernest Burgess, Dr. David Anderson and Dr. Forrest L. Flashman. Moved by Colombi, seconded by Pringle to adjourn. Carried. The meeting was ad,jontned at 1:00 p.m. D. W. Custer.

Dr. Michel reported an excellent health record, satisfactory physical examination including negative report on all laboratory tests, normal cardiogram and chest x-ray and it was felt that Mr. Miller would make a fine fireman. All L'oard Members approved the candidate for position in the Renton Fire Department and concurred that his name be submitted for approval by the City Council. D. W. Custer, Chairman Helmie W. Nelson, City Clerk-Treasurer FIREMEN'S PENSION AND RELIEF FUND BOARD MINUTES BOARD MEMBERS January S, 1965 D" W. Custer, Mayor-Chairman Dorothea Gossett, City Treasurer Helmie Nelson, City Clerk-Secretary Jack Pringle, Fireman Jack Colombi, Fireman The special meeting of the Firemen's Pension Board was convened at 9:30 a.m. for purpose of considering further the disability status of Fireman Mary Sherertz Roll call taken with all nembers present as listed. Also in t-adance were Fire Chief Walls and Fireman Mary Sherertz. The Mayor stated the Board now has in their Possession the medical reports which the Board deemed necessary for a proper determination in this matter. Fireman Sherertz' inactive status ended on November 30, 1964, and since that time he has been carried on the City's payroll, drawing from the accumulated sick leave to which he is entitled, as approved by the City Council, in cc;-.�:ur-rence with the recommendation of the Fire and ;Vater Committee. Fireman Sherertz now requests authorization to return to his duties in the Fire Department. The medical reports requested by the Board from the attending physician and an orthopedic specialist selected by the Board, were presented and read by the Secretary. Report dated December 28, 1964, from Dr. D. G. Leavitt, physician who had attended Fireman Sherertz during his disability, indicated that this fireman was more able to work now than he had been prior to surgery, but noted there was some permanent disability in his neck, also that due to his age he could not engage in a strenuous manner in the activities of a fireman. Dr. Leavitt approved return to work by Fireman Sherertz on January 1, 1965. Dr. Ernest H. Burgess, in his report dated December 29, 1964, concluded that Fireman Sherertz is now able to return to work. lie reported that there wia- disability in the cervical spine as evidenced by moderate limited motion, but attributed this condition in part to inactivity, advising that some general exercise would be beneficial to improve muscle tone generally. In the doctor's opinion this would not sufficiently disalle him to prevent him from returning, to his duties in the Fire Department. It was noted that the medical reports were very complete, but had left unanswered the question as to whether or not Fireman Sherertz in the doctor's opinion, would have been physically able to return to his duties in the Fire Department at the end of his inactive status on November 30th. Fire Chief walls called f�_ thu 0-ird's attenti. n tinfthe State law provides that a fireman shall be retired at the end of the inactive status if he is unable to return to work at that time. The Mayor pointed out that this did not present a problem in this particular case, inasmuch as Fireman Sherertz was still an employee of the City, carried on the City payroll, and urnwing upon the accrued sick leave credits to which he was entitled by City Ordinance.This had been approved by the City Council, -,fter recommendation by the Fire and ',Nater Committee. An amending ordinance has been prepared which is presently under consideration by the Fire and Water Cora.iittoe. The proposed amendment provides that sick leave benefits shall not be anrlicablc to any employee covered under any Relief and Pension Act or similar legislation providing for sickness and/or disability payments. Moved by Nelson, seconded by Pringle, that based upnn proper medical evidence the Board now finds Fireman Sherertz able to return to his duties in the Fire Department, and that he resume his duties effective as of this date.

Custer, Mayor-Chairrian Dorothea Gossett, City Treasurer Helmie W. Nelson, City Clerk Jack Pringle, Fireman Jack Colombi, Fireman The regular meeting of the Firemen's Pension Board was called to order by Chairman Custer at 10:20 a.m. with all members of the board present. Mr. James Ashurst, Assistant Fire Chief was also in attendance. Moved by Colombi, seconded by Pringle, that the Minutes of the previous meeting of April 16, 1965 be approved as written. Carried. COMMUNICATIONS AND BILLS: A letter from Attorney Shellan submitted opinion regarding Contributions and Withholding as follows: "DEDUCTIONS FROM DISABILITY PAYMENTS MADE TO FIREMEN" "When a Fireman is receiving disability payments under the provisions of RCW 41.18.060 which provides that a fireman may receive a disability allowance equal to his basic monthly salary for a period of six months from the time of being disabled while in the performance of his duties, the City should deduct from such disability payment the fireman's six per cent contribution to the pension fund and the federal withholding tax. Since these Payments are in the nature of continued salary payments, all normal deductions should be made from the salary. If the fireman desires to have this period of time counted toward his retirement, the six per cent contribution will of course, have to be made. Since certain payments made during periods of disability may not be subject to federal income tax, it might be advisable to issue a certificate to the Fireman indicating the amount paid and that it was paid during a period of disability." The Secretary reported that she had written a letter to Fireman Marvin Sherertz requesting reimbursement of $80.40 which represents contributions due the pension fund for the months of October and November, 1964. No reply has yet been received. It was pointed out that without payment of said contributions those two months would have to be deducted and could not be counted. Moved by Gossett, seconded by Colombi, to concur in the communication directed to Fireman Sherertz by the Secretary and in the event no reply is received that the matter be referred to the City Attorney for determination of further action to be taken. Carried. A communication from C. A. Gaisford, Director of Finance, City of Tacoma, was read. The letter recalled an inquiry from the City of Renton concerning method of payment to disability pensioners by the City of Tacoma. (Tacoma follows the procedure of making payments during this disability period directly from the fire department payroll, making all deductions, including contributions to the Firemen's Pension Fund, withholding tax, etc - and filing a claim with the Firemen's Pension Board for reimbursement to the Current Fund). Mr. Gaisford noted that the Association of. Washington Cities has forwarded a court decision and legal opinions that cover the subject of deductions for firemen on disability which follows right in line with the way the City of Tacoma is handling such deductions. The Secretary reported relative to a meeting of the Washington State Council of Fire Fighters, held in Tacoma on May 11, 1965 attended by Board Members, Attorneys, and representatives from every Firemen's Pension Board in the State with the exception of three. Attending from Renton were Helmie Nelson, City Clerk, Gwen Marshall, Deputy City Clerk, Dorothea Gossett, City Treasurer and Captain Alexander. Well known City Attorneys Marshall McCormick, Tacoma, John Tracey, Spokane, and John Winn, Vancouver, comprised a panel to answer legal problems with which pension boards are confronted. Mr. Jack Waller, former Vice-President of the 7th District, State Council of Fire Fighters, served as moderator and the meeting lasted from 10:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m. Written inquiries had been submitted by Kennewick, Vancouver, Walla Walla, Renton, Bellevue and Richland, copies of which were submitted to all present, together with a copy of Substitute House Bill No. 391. i j r;Cl Firemen's Pension and Relief Fund Board Minutes (cont.) 5-20-65 Menton questioned whether the Board might make its own determination that an injury or illness is service-connected regardless of a Physicians report which might diagnose otherwise. The Secretary noted that it had been brought out that any court would likely hold that the Board had acted in an arbitrary and capricious manner to ignore the Physician's report. City Treasurer Gossett stated the Board has the final determination. It is understood that Fire Department representative, John Alexander, has made a complete report to the members of the Fire Department on all matters discussed at this meeting including Substitute House Bill No. 391. Assistant Fire Chief Ashurst brought forth that one of the problems our Board has to contend with is that the Board does not have a Pension Board doctor who can make the final positive+ determination. The opinion was expressed among the firemen Board Members that the fireman might go to his personal physician who may not be familiar with the fire department rules and regulations or duties of the firemen and might thus make an improper determination as to the cause of the illness whereas if the Board had its own doctor he would be familiar with all aspects of the firemens duties and would be more capable of making a determination as to whether the injury or illness was service connected or otherwise. This would not prevent a fireman from going to his own physician but would mean the determination would be made by the Firemen's Pension Board doctor if the other doctor did not feel that he could make a determination as to the cause of the illness. It was pointed out that Dr. Michel was presently the Firemen's Pension Board Physician for physic", examinations and that possibly the Board might be able to use the services of our Health Officer under his present basis of nay or for a lesser remuneration for the services he night perform. Moved by Nelson, seconded by Gossett, that the Firemen Board members contact Dr. Hartwig in this regard and secure his views and report back. Carried. Secretary Nelson reported that one of the things she felt would be of particular impo.tan- to the Firemen was the possibility of jeopardizing their pension when injured on other occupational duties outside the fire department. Chairman Custer suggested that perhaps Fireman Goodwin who is now receiving disability benefits, possibly might be able to perform in some other capacity that would not be detrimental to his health. Fireman Colombi stated a fireman could not be required to serve in a lesser capacity as he would be paid less, the pension calling for full salary during disability leave.

Chairman Custer reported the Council has asked him to socura the Boards opinion on the possibility of obtaining a loan from the Pension Fund in order to finance construction of the grand stand in Liberty Park ,adjacent to the ball field. Repayment would be budgeted in an annual basis in the Park Department, Capital Outlay. During ensuing discussion the City Treasurer stated she felt the Firemen's Pension Fund had been criticized some years back for making a loan to another fund. however, she felt that if the Council bonded themselves, nothing would prevent the Firemen's Pension Fund from bidding, on the purchase of bonds. The Secretary suggested that possibly the City Treasurer and the City Clerk could check this matter and determine the action the Board could legally take.

Nelson, City Clerk-Secretary Jack Pringle, Fireman Jack Colombi, Fireman The regular meeting of the Firemen's Pension Board was called to order by Mayor Custer, Chairman, at 10:00 a.m. All members were present with the exception of Jack Colombi; Dave %Ialsh, alternate, serving in his absence. Also in attendance was Captain John Alexander. Moved by Pringle, seconded by Gossett, that the Minutes of the previous meeting of July 30, 1965, be approved as written. Carried. l COMMUNICATIONS AND BILLS A letter from City Engineer Jack Wilson was read asking if the Firemen's Pension Fund would consider purchasing the bonds for a proposed Local Improvement District for Sanitary Sewers in the vicinity of Longacres (L.I.D. No. 2S3). The cost of the project was estimated not to exceed $15,000. Moved by Gossett, seconded by Pringle to concur, assessing an interest rate of 4.750. Carried. The Secretary read a communication from Marsh $ HcLennan, Inc., Consulting Actuary, submitting the Actuarial Valuation of the City of Renton Firemen's Pension and Relief Fund projected to December 31, 1965. The report made the following conclusions: "The actuarial balance sheet shows the present value of future City and State taxes necessary to balance the funding of the Firemen's Pension Fund is $1,145,996. Your share of State taxes has been estimated to provide $68,453 of this amount, leaving the balance of $1,077,543 to be provided from City taxes. Our report shows that a mil rate of .993 will be sufficient to meet the necessary revenues and we recommend that you assess taxes at a mil rate of .993 in respect of your obligations to the 14 Firemen's Pension and Relief Fund until the next actuarial valuation. While there has been a substantial increase in the assessments of the City since the last valuation, there has also been a substantial increase in pay rates of firemen and in the number of firemen covered. It is for these reasons that the recommended contribution rate is not lower. The Fund is actuarially sound in that the assets and the prospective income are sufficient to pay the anticipated benefits. Many of these funds in other cities have determined the mil rate to be contributed only on the basis of receipts and disbursements during the year of valuation. If you were to adopt this interpretation of the applicable law, it would not be necessary to make any contribution ution during 1966 since State Taxes, Interest and Employee Contributions would be greater than the probable payout. This is not a sound method of financing these benefits and we do not recommend it while you are in a position to fund the benefits in an orderly fashtion." The Secretary stated that all Board Members had been furnished copies, and each Fire Station. More copies have been requested for the Council Members. A Doctor's Report from Dr. Heilpern regarding disability of John L. Parks due to injury of left thumb sustained while sawing a board was read.

Carried. FIREMEN'S PENSION BUDGET The Secretary requested that the Firemen's Pension Budget for 1966, as approved at the last regular meeting, be brought up at this time for reconsideration. Mayor Custer stated that in accordance r:ith the recommendation contained in the actuarial survey, he has included .z levy of .993 mills for the benefit of the Firemen's Pension Fund, which would provide $82,286 in revenue from this source. Other estimated revenues included $26,000 interest, 1;5,215 - the City's share in the distribution of 45% of taxes on fire insurance premiums made to those cities having a statutory firem en,s pensbn fund,emp]oyee contributions in the sum of $15,732, for a total estimated revenue figure of $129,233. The Secretary noted that this would necessitate an addition to the expenditure section of the budget, as available surplus from 1966 revenue, in the sum of $103,129, bringing the expenditure section of $26 104 to the P , total of $129,233, to balance with receipts, as required. I The Mayor pointed to the actuary's report wherein the statement was made that if the City were tc adopt the interpretation of the applicable law, it would not be necessary to make any contribution during, 1966, since State Taxes, Interest and Employee Contributions would be greater than the probable payout. lie further noted that there is a lack of funds to provide for requested and needed improvements to Fire Station facilities--including the requested addition to the Headquarter Station, $55,000; Training Area and Station, h15,000, and costs attendant with the acquisition and j construction of a third Fire Station. Ile asked the Board's feelings relative to financing some of these costs through the Firemen's Pension Fund. It was the general consensus that this would leave the Hoard open to criticism, and would not constitute a proper use or administration of Firemen's Pension Fund. City Treasurer Gossett stated that when the City purchased Cedar River Park a loan had been secured from the Pension Fund and had been written up by the State Auditor in their annual report. -2- Firemen's Pension and Relief Fund Board Minutes (cont.) August 26, 1965 FIREMEN'S PENSION BUDGET (cont.) The Secretary called the Board's attention to her letter dated August 17, directed to the Board and all members of the Fire Department, withdrawing the request for reimbursement to the General Fund, for services rendered by the City Clerk's Department. Mayor Custer stated he was not in agreement with the withdrawal of this appropriation, and that it had been included in the Preliminary Budget, as previously authorized by the Board. The letter from the Secretary had pointed out that all services, materials and supplies, etc. had been paid from the General Fund, in past years, with the exception of a typewriter and printed forms for reporting injuries and illness. All other expenditures and services had been provided out of the City Clerk's and Treasurer's budgets and charged against the General Fund. It was pointed out that the Constitution provides that one fund shall not benefit from another fund--each should bear their own costs of operation, and this has been done by other funds, with the exception of the Firemen's Pension Fund. At this time Fireman Pringle recalled that sometime past the Board had authorized the purchase of a filing cabinet. The budgetary cards for years 1960 - 1965 were brought to the meeting and examined and no such purchase was found on the records. The Secretary stated,ghe had previously informed the Board that the file cabinet had not been purchased at the time authorized as she had secured one from Mayor Aliment. This was provided by the Mayor at that time to compensate the Clerk's Department for furnishing secretaries for various meetings which included Mayor's meetings, weekly Citizens's Advisory Council, Highway Commission meetings and others. The Firemen's Pension Board records are now housed in this and another cabinet, together with Clerk's records, and the Secretary stated she could continue to do so. These cabinets are not fireproof, however. The discussion returned to the problem of financing capital improvements for the Fire Department and whether this could be accomplished using Firemen's Pension Funds. The Mayor noted that the millage designated to the Fund for next year, recommended by the Actuary but not mandatory, as other revenues meet the requirement could have been used. Needed improvements not previously mentioned included Fire Station Sites in the Kennydale and Sierra Heights Areas. The Board members felt that the Firemen's Pension Fund could only participate in the event the City Council issued General Obligation Bonds . Council authorized bonds can only be authorized to the extent of one and one-half per cent of the Assessed Valuation. This is the limitation imposed without submitting a bond issue to a vote of the people. Council authorized levy for this purpose nust be contained within the 15 mills allotted to cities. It was noted that the Board would only be interested if they received an attractive interest rate and that the City could secure a lower rate from other sources. Moved by Pringle, seconded by Walsh, that the amount in the budget for reimburs&ble services remain as submitted. Carried. Fireman Pringle reported that Bruce Phillips stated he has never received payment for a bill in the amount of $5.51 for prescriptions, which had been authorized by the Board. The Secretary checked with her office and a photostatic copy of Warrant No. 6993, carrying the endorsement of Mr. Phillips and the bank was tendered to the Firemen Board Members to turn over to Fireman Phillips. There being no further business meeting was adjourned at 12:15 P.M. D. W. Custer, Hayor-Chairman Helmie IV.

Nelson, City Clerk-Secretary Jack Pringle, Fireman Jack Colombi, Fireman The meeting of the Firemen's Pension Board was called to order this date due to the Thanksgiving Holiday and postponing the regular meeting of November to this date. meeting convened at 4:00 p.m. with all Board Members in attendance. The Fire Depa :,- -' has not yet held an election to elect a new Board Member to fill the position of Pringle whose term has expired, but will do so in the near future. Moved by Gossett, seconded by Colombi, that the Minutes of the previous meeting of October 29, 1965 be approved as written. Carried. COMMUNICATIONS: Letter was read from City Attorney Shellan submitting opinions as requested. "Answering item No. 1, we refer you to RCW 41.18.050 et seq (1955 Act) which provide- for the benefits accruing to a fireman who is disabled in line of duty. It is, in c,--.r opinion, a question of fact to be determined by the Board as to whether any fireman was injured or killed while in the line of duty. You will also notice that the 1955 Act provides for benefits when such disablement or death occurs while not in line of duty. You have supplied no information as to how many firemen in our City Department, if any; are covered by the "Volunteer Firemen's Pension and Relief Act" as codified in RCW d' 24.010. Please refer to the definition of "Fire Department" of the aforesaid sectiuz -L,"No determine whether it applies to the City of Renton. Said Act also provides for benef _ts in case of death, disability and retirement. You may also wish to refer to RCW 41.241.0;:;) and advise `whether such "enrollment" has taken place by the City of Renton. We under- stand that there is an Attorney General's opinion (1947-48 p.8) pertaining to the of enrollment of a member serving both city and a fire district. If you wish to pu c-.- . this matter further, we shall be glad to secure a copy of said Opinion." Your next question relates to the authority of the Firemen"s Pension Fund to pay oat $500.00 per year for the expense of annual physical examinations for the personnel of the Fire Department. again looking at the 1955 Act hereinabove referred to, the Do--_:_'. has has the power to make rules and regulations which are not inconsistent "with this chapter for the purpose of carrying out an6 effecting the same." All reference to physical exams refer to instances where the fireman has become disabled or injured we cannot find any express authority within said chapter that would allow the Board expend funds for medical expenses not connected with or arising by reason of some injury or disability. Please refer to RCW 41.18.050, 060, 090, etc. We therefore would conclu '- that it may be of doubtful legal practice to spend funds for annual examinations when they are not related whatever to any injury or disability sustained by the firemen. We also refer you to RCW 41.16.040, sub-section "10" relating to the employment of a physician by the Board. We suggest that said section be brought to the attention of jthe Board since it appears to answer, at least partially, the question raised. Answering your final question as to the possibility of the city securing a $30,000.00 loan from the Firemen"s Pension Fund to purchase a fire station site, we definitely believe that such loan or investment would be illegal since it certainly would not b- one of the investments authorized by statute . We again refer you to RCW 41.16.040, sub-section "4" which should answer your question in full. Firemen's Pension and Relief Fund Board Meeting COMMUNICATIONS: (Cont.) Mayor Custer advised that his letter of November 15, 1965 directed to the City Council regarding the cost of physical examinations and budget hearing action, had been referred to the Committee of the Whole and the Committee will be recommending transfer of $500.00 ,.. from the Fire Department Account 2200, Capital Outlay 606 - Landscape, Unto the 1966 Civil Service Budget to cover funding of the physical examinations in question. All Police and Fire Department personnel will receive physicals the first year and thereafter such examinations will be given as directed or required by the Civil Service Commission. The physicals will be used to determine whether retirement should be effected or whether assignment should be made to less strenuous positions as the physical report may designate. It was pointed out that a person cannot be required to accept an assignment if there is less salary involved but may, however, do so if it is his request or desire due to his physical disability. Notices of Disability, Physician's Report and Recovery Notice were read as follows: Physician's Report by Baird M. Bardarson, dated 10-29-65 advised of disability of LeRoy Smith caused by fall from scaffolding resulting in injury to both heels. This was not a service connected disability. It was estimated that 21- months would be required before return to active duty. Notice of Disability dated 11-14-65 reported that Donald Goodwin had called in ill with a cold. Notice of Recovery reported return to duty on November 17, 1965 and was signed by Captain George Banasky. The matter of the Claim by the Current Fund against the Pension Fund for salary paid firemen during disability periods was discussed and verification from the Fire Department covered an extended period resulting in some discrepancy, also where period extended over VAMW a week end but actually involved days off. The reports will be revised to coincide and be resubmitted.

Anderson 314.00 Floyd Lawrence 305.00 Mrs. Orpha McDonald 150.00 Moved by Gossett, seconded by Nelson, that the monthly pension warrants be draw-,:. Captair►•Alexander cited provisions of R.C.W. 41.18.060 relating to service- connected retirements, reading in part - "If the Board finds at the expiration of six months that a fireman is unable to return to and perform his duties, tiler he shall be retired at a monthly sum equal to fifty percent of the amount of his basic salary at any time thereafter attached to the rank which he held at the date of his retirement." Definitions - R.C.W. 41.18.010 - Section 4 - "13a:�ic salary" means the monthly salary, including longevity pay, attached to the rank held by the retired fireman at the date of his retirement without regard to extra compensation which such fireman. may have received for special duties or assign- merit riot acquired through civil service examination: PROVIDED, that such basic salary shall not be deemed to exceed the salary of a batallion Chief. Mr. Anderson is receiving the longevity pay allowance based on one-half of $20.00 (for 15 to 20 yrs. of service) whereas the allowance for this longevity period was increased to $25.00 this year. Consequently, Mr. Anderson should draw a monthly pension of $316.50 ($304.00 plus $12.50 longevity) instead of the $314.00 he received in January and February, ($304.00 plus $10.00) Moved by Pringle, seconded by Gossett, to increase Mr. Anderson's pension to $316.50 .�... and adding the $5.00 to his March Warrant which he was shorted in January and. February. Carried. The pending motion to pay the pensions previously read was carried. Captain Alexander further stated that as he interpreted the law on service- connected retirement pensions, a pensioner could accrue an addition a1i..ye .-r's longevity credit each year of his retirement and consequently an increase in his pension payment on this basis also. Moved by Colombi, seconded by Pringl-, that the Board request an opinion from the City Attorney on this matter. Care Secretary Nelson stated that the Firemen's Pension Board had agreed to finance L.I.D. 253 at an interest rate of 4.75%. This L.I.D. was dropped and essentiuly; the same a a r ,•� e e som wh t d . e a , n sa_ze is now covered b L.I.D. 255.

This concerned revised printing of Firemen's Pension Booklet by the Book Publishing Co. which are available at a cost of 65¢ per booklet. No e b Pringle,Noved y Tringle, seconded by Colombi, that the Board order SO booklets. Carried. The secretary also reported that a reply had been received from the City Attorney concerning the matter brought up by Captain Alexander at the previous Board meeting-- on the question whether retired f1remQ n would continue to accrue an additional year of longevity credit for each additional year of retirement. A copy of Mr. Shellan's opinion was sent to all Board members and to Captain Alexander. It read in part: "..., we are unable to find any provision in the law which would also grant a person who had been retired from service connected disability additional credits for longevity after he has retired. The ordinary definition of longevity as we understand it is extra compensation to a person while he is in actual service; this applies particularly to persons serving in the military forces and we know of no reason why the same concept cannot be applied to uniformed personnel. Longevity is simply an award or fringe benefit to a person who is in active service on the theory that the longer lie serves actively, the more valuable his performance would become to his cnmployer, therefore such longevity payment. The same reasoning, of course, cannot apply to somebody who is not longer actively serving a City but has been retired from active service. If the legislature intended to grant longevity to persons, after retirement, then this _� should have been spelled out more clearly and without ambiguity." Firemen's Pension Funf' oard Meeting March 28, 1966 Moved by Pringle, seconded by Colombi, to concur in the opinion rendered by the City Attorney. Carried. 5 A claim was re-submitted from Current Fund in the sum of $3,499.01 requesting; reimbursement from the Firemen's Pension Fund for the period of 9/20/65 to 12/31/65, previously held for a check of Fire Department records, which has now been accomplished.

A previous directive had been made to the Firemen in accordance with this and it had been pointed out that if no bills are submitted to King County it might not be possible to secure duplicate coverage and might jeopardize the King County or other coverage.

PAIN, JR., A. _ISTANI CITY ATTORNCY .Januiry 8, 1968 rI Mrs. Helmie Nelson City Clerk City Hall Reatun, Washill tuli Re: Firemen's Pension Fund Disability Dear Helmie: You recently .requested our opinion in regard to a certain dental bill incurred by Bruce Phillips as well as William Larson's bill for a root resection and removal of abscess. You are inquiring whether these are proper bills to be authorized for payment by the Board. As you know, we have previously rendered to your office several opinions regarding the allowance of medical and related expenses under the provisions of the Firemen's Relief and Pension Act (1955 Act) . Under said Act the term "disability" means and includes injurie3 or sickness sustained by a fireman. Reference is hereby made to RCW 41.18.050(disablement in line of duty - retirement) and the subsequent section .Yhich provides for the allowance of medical, hospital and nursing care. This provides that whenever a fireman has been disabled while in the perfurmance of his duties it- shall declare hire inactive. For a periodof six months from the date of such disability he shall draw from the Pension Fund a disability allowance and shall likewise be provided for with medical, hospital and nursing care as long as the disability exists. You will note that this would require the Board to first find the: fireman to be inactive . before such an allowance is u,ade,� t;'e do not find any provision in the statute relation to payment of dental care. Please also refer to RCW 41.18.080 (Payments upon Disability or Death not in Line of duty) . This again allows, for a period of ninety days followinc, such disability an allowance from the VireLlan's Pension bund o which is equal to his basic salary and in addition thereto provides for such disabled fireman medical, hospital and nursin care as the Board deems proper. I-le sur,gest that you bring the Board 's attention Mrs. Helmie Nelson Page 2 January 8, 1968 to the wording of this particular section to determine whether these requirements have been complied with. As we have indicated on various occasions in the past, it is up to the Board to determine whether a disability exists as provided for by statute and thereupon to allow or disallow the medical expenses incurred in connection therewith. We do not believe that it i.s the purpose or intent of the statute to provide all inclusive medical and dental care for a fireman without complying with the aforecited sections and finding the existence of the disability by the Board and thus declaring him inactive as hereinabove set forth. It would also be our opinion that the disability referred to in RW 41.18.080 must be such that it is actually disabling and thus prevent the fireman from continuing his service with the Department in which case he has the right to apply for a retirement. It is then up to the Board to determine whether he should be retired or order him back to work in case it is determined that he is capable of performing his duties. It would be further our opinion that if the legislature intended to cover a fireman for all medical, dental, nursing and hospital expenses even though they may only disable him for a very brief period of time, such as a day or two, then an amendment to the statute would be in order to clarify such a situation. Under the present wording we do not believe that the example cited by you would be covered without the findings to be made by the Board prior to any such payment or reimbursement. If you haVe any further questions in this matter, please let us know. We remain Yours very t ku 1 , j I � i erard M.

Custer, Mayor-Chairman Dorothea Gossett, City Treasurer Helmie Nelson, City Clerk-Secretary John Pringle, Fireman John Alexander, Fireman A special meeting of the Firemen's Pension Fund Board was held to consider action to be taken in connection with Public Pension Commission Public Hearings on provisions of the Washington Fire Fighters' and Policemen 's Retirement System Act, House Bill 950, 1967 Session of the Legislature. (Combining the two systems). It was moved by Pringle, seconded by Gossett, that the Board object to the removal of local board administration in favor of a State Board which might not be as knowledgeable on local matters or as efficient in expediting the processing of claims, etc. Carried. It waa moved by Pringle, seconded by Alexander, that the Board express objection, in anticipation of further problems, to the enactment of a second Act affecting only part of the Firemen within a department, with the older members under a prior Act as this could be detrimental to the moralewithin the department. Carried. The Board, during discussion, also felt that it should be pointed out that the City of Renton has an actuarily sound pension fund which it has maintained through compliance with State Law in providing the proper millage from local tax dollars, and the Board does not feel that its fund should subsidize the funds of other cities which have been haphazard and negligent in maintaining their funds. The Secretary was directed to file the objections with the State Public Pension Commission for the Tacoma public hearing to be held 2/6/68. D. W. Custer, Mayor-Chair;,,...

Carried.

D. •!. Custer, i-iayor-Chairman Dorothea Gossett, City Treasurer lielmie Nelson, City Clerk-Secretary John Pringle, Fireman John Alexander, Fireman The regular meeting of the Firemen' s Pension board was called to order at 11:17 a.m. with all members present.. T. K. Anderson, retired Fireman,was also present. Noved by Pringle, seconded by Alexander, that the minutes of the previous meetings of January 26th and February 23rd be approved as distributed. Carried. It was reported that fireman Don Goodwin had broken his eye glasses at a house fire, 10th Avenue North and "P" Street. T. K. Anderson had submitted a bill with a new prescription number and advised that he had changed Doctors and was now being treated by Dr. Vukov since Dr. Patricelli had become ill and that the prescription was the same under a new number. He reported that during the course of his physical examination by Dr. Vukov, there was condition of Cardio Vascular resultin,, which the Dr. determined had been caused by a heart attack at some time. The only incident T.K. could recall was at a fire one morning at Rainier Asphalt when he fell off the platform, Connell, Goodwin and Lawrence were there and this information is in the daily log of the Fire Department. T. K. Anderson was directed to secure a report from Dr. Vukov on his condition to be filed with the Board.. Irr Payment of dental bills submitted by Bruce Phillips was discussed along with the City Attorneys opinion that he felt it was not allowable. Alexander and Pringle pointed out that the man had a lump under his arm and he had gone to a medical physician who referred him to the dentist and the dentist discovered an abscessed wisdom tooth infection caused his general disability, the same as an infected cut or other condition which would cause general disability. The firemen further pointed out that the fireman would be staying out of work on disability which would be costly to the Board so he may as well get medical attention and return to work, the Board having to pay one way or the other. DISABILITY, RECOVERY NOTICES AND PHYSICIAN'S REPORTS WERE READ Physician' s report submitted by Rudolph Heilpern, II.D. advised of examination on 2/15/68 of Edgar 0ooton and diagnosed disability as sore throat and cold, non-service connected.

Payments cover month of !larch, 1960. i-ioved by Gossett, seconded by 1.1exander, to pay the monthly pension and disability payments as read. Carried. Discussion ensued in regard to bill submitted by 14m. Larson since reimbursement authori- zation had not been signed which will need to be furnished to the Board prior to action for an sideration. The subject of income tax was discussed in rei;ard to fact the Board should take into con- sideration any service-connected disability is not subject to income tax and inquiry was made regardin- payment for same being drawn directly from the Pension Fund by Voucher. The Secretary pointed out problems that could arise where a Dr. had not reported to establish the disability and the information mould have to Go to the payroll clerk for that specific period with 3 days notice at least prior to the end of the period at which time it might not be knorm iffiether a fireman had been off in time to properly punch the to?es for exceptions on the data processing payroll operation and any number of exceptions could prove to be very drastic expecially since the Board has to approve the payments and timing would be critical. Record keeping would be time-consuming also. Alexander noted it mould be necessary to hold two Pension Board meetings. At this time Firs. Leila Varner, Programmer and Firs. Doris Stecher, Payroll Clerk, were called in and pointed out that bookkeeping and timing mould be the Fire Department'sresponsibility and all adjustments would have to be properly documented prior to the payroll being sub- mitted and when there is a holiday and they need to be in earlier there might be some problem if reports from Dr. and Firemen are not available. This would be a matter of educating the Firemen to fill in a Doctor' s report and file with his Dr., the reports to be returned to the Board immediately. As it is nor: sometimeG they arrive months after the treatment which would not allow the payroll deduction for that period applicable. i _.inutes - 3/29/68 -3- Firemen' s Pension Fund Board Meeting sof Income Tax Discussion: (Cont.) It was noted that Firemen in filin; their Income Tax forma could take off the portio. which is excludable by inserting the amount in the proper column and/or using special faym,provided but this only allows a portion to be excluded as you must be off a cert-:., period of time before any income is excluded. Non-service disability might not be covered in certain instances and Dr. reports would be required so the procedure could be quite involved in establishing disability as well as requiring some complex record keeping, which would need to be discussed. The Firemen advised they would go over the matter with the Firemen and will report further at a subsequent Pension Board meeting. Each exception to the regular payroll must be punched out where the number of hours differ individually and reprogrammed which could become quite a problem if any number c, changes were to be made in a pay period. Fireman William Larson is to be requcated to file the proper claim form to secure reimbursement for payments on medication. Moved by Pringle, seconded by Alexander, to approve payment of the dental bill of Fireman Phillips which has been established as contributing to the general bodily condition as any other injury of infectious nature. Carried. It was noted that each such instance will need to be considered on its oun merits and that no precedent is being established by this action. s there was no further business to come before the B oa r d, the .meeting was adjourned at 12:00 noon. allow D.

The matter of payment for hearing aid, submitted by retired fireman Charles Goodwin was discussed, the Board unable as yet to make clear determination as to whether same was job-connected since Mr. 'Goodwin has been retired for two years with no previous indication of the disability which was not the disability for which he was retired. It was pointed out that in order to get prescriptions covered the firemen have had to submit evidence it is the same as that prescribed for disability for which he was retired and this would possibly be a point to be considered. , The Firemen Members pointed out that the sirens and long exposure to noise could cause the disability and they felt it should be covered regardless of whether it was the same basis of the retirement disability . They felt that the new pension laws to become effective later provide that this type of billing would be allowed and there was some question whether this would have some affect on the Board ' s determination at this time . It was noted that the City Attorney 's opinion had stated the disability must be the same for which -tirement was based in prior instances and it would be unfair to allow payment for some and not others . ..�. -2- Minutes - Renton Firemen 's Pension Fund 27 , 1969 Mine MOVED BY NELSON , SECONDED BY PRINGLE THAT RETIRED FIREMAN CHUCK GOODWIN BE INVITED TO ATTEND A 6PECIAL MEETING OF THE PENSION BOARD TO SUPPORT HIS CONTENTION THAT HIS HEARING DIFFICULTIES ARE DUE TO ACTIVITIES IN THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AND THAT THE BOARD BE NOTIFIED WHEN HE COULD ATTEND IN ORDER THAT A SPECIAL MEETING MAY BE CALLED.

He advised that after going to a fire and being subjected to the fire sirens the problem worsened, and has subsequently resulted in the need for said hearing aid. Fireman Bruce Phillips called attention to growth on his knee which could result in such similar problem and pointed out that this is one purpose of the Firemen ' s Pension Fund , to benefit the Firemen in such instances . Chairman Custer stated he did not feel the Board could authorize such payments without some substantiating documentation such as Physician ' s report that it was "more likely than not caused by duties in the Fire Department " or precedent might be established to cause later problems .
