back to the City Manager to contact Ministers and get their
feeling and work out as best he can and would suggest it go on
West end of field.
Mr. Harry Boggs of the State Treasurer' s Office arrived and
presented in detail the State Insurance Plan for Police and
Firemen. Those participating would pay 5% of their salary
and he estimated the City' s share of cost would be $3 , 772.00
per year for Police and $3, 019.00 per year for Firemen. However
subtracted from the City' s cost would be 1% of all casualty
insurance sold in City and 1% of all fire insurance sold in the
City which the State would send to us. This would not increase
insurance premiums. There is also a plan where other City
Employees can be brought in but the State would not send anything
on theirs. The matter was discussed at length, following which
Mr. Holloway moved we approve receiving the proposal as pre-
sented and let the Pension Committee see if can work into overall
project so that all employees can be under Pension plan, seconded
by Mr. Rosborough, and further discussion followed in which it
was brought out that the Police and Firemen would be retroactive.
Also Mr. Howell advised we would need an Ordinance but understand
the State Treasurer' s Office will set up. Following this
discussion the Mayor put the question and the motion carried.
Mr. Vogel advised that he and the City Attorney, Mr. Ball, would
like to go to the Florida League of Municipalities meeting at
Daytona Beach on October 26, 27, 28, 1969. It was agreed that
they go, representing the City.
There being no further business, Mr. Howell declared the meeting
adjourned.
