Trustees discussed the idea of using pension funds to assist reirees with health insurance costs.
Adminstrative Services Director Van Zile suggested waiting until the City's Group Health Insurance
committee met later this year to see if a city contribution could be made pertaining to all city retirees.
Trustees agreed.
Trustees discussed the possibility of allowing members to purchase prior years service at the current
higher benefit accrual rate of 3.00%. It was also discussed whether the plan should pay for this instead
of the members. Paui Shamoun said that he could provide cost estimates for both options. Trustees
thought it would be good to have the cost estimates before making a recommendation.
