City Attorney Gillenwater informed the Board of Works that Fireman

is in regards to the letter from PERF dated B-17-92, copy attached.
Attorney Gillenwater recommended to the board that vacation pay be
paid to Fireman Adams for June 19 through August BI, 1991 as he is
due. Since the disability eligibility was not determined until a much
later date: the local pension board and Fire Chief at that timer
decided that effective September 1, 1991, Mr. Adams be paid at 55M
disability pay through the Fire Dept.budget. Since eligibility
findings have been determined officially: it is a belief that the
Board of Works ask the council to approve a claim from the City of
Jeff, Fire Pension fund in the amount of $?,45?.82 to be reimbursed to
the General Fund. Director Matra made the motion to approve, seconded
by Director Lakeman and carried unanimously.

reimbursement to Fireman Adams in the amount of SB68.BO, which is a B%
