I'm not saying we can help out on every single situation but the small things where you get someone, her husband actually had two brain surgeries and he was an army vet. So she doesn't have $1,000 to fix a roof or pain. So I'm asking that code enforcement, maybe we could give our phone number, whatever the case may be. If someone has an issue
that's

Everybody can't ‸ handle all their violations ‸ or code enforcement issues. And also I talked to Brian about code enforcement knocking on doors and actually talking to the residents. Because sometimes when they get papers in the mail or it's kind of threatening, it's scary if you're an elderly woman to get these things in the mail and you know you don't have the funds to take care of the situation. So I'm asking for maybe a partnership with our organization to help out people who don't have the money. Because they get violated $250 a day and you have to choose between a light bill and a fence. You're not going to take care of that fence.

The caretaker rented a utility shed and his representative, which I have here the documents for it.

to interrupt. There's a dry well and also there's no generator ‸ on the current lift station. So it's within feet of the lagoon. So there's a potential there for during hurricanes for influence to flood the dry well and damage equipment that's in there. The proposed project would be to replace that with a wet well system and also add a generator out there, a permanent generator, which would include, which would also help with worker safety because it would eliminate a confined space entry.

amending section 2-191 definitions and section 2-220 share plan. Just by way of background, earlier this year, in the process of, as you know, we doing our, you know, repair pensions in a timely fashion, it was determined that we'd collected, on holiday pay, we had collected, you know, employee contributions and a strict interpretation of the Ordinance was that holiday pay, because the Ordinance went from total earnings to base pay plus state and funded incentives and up to 150 hours of overtime.

bonus check and it's not counted toward pension purposes. So, based on that interpretation, which, based on the Ordinance, refunds were made to officers for their pension contributions. and it brought to light an issue of which, as you are aware, once we were made aware of it, one, we did refund the pension contributions, but we also sought to get clarification with our actuary in terms of whether or not holiday pay was considered in their evaluation of base pay. It was not the intent, And so we came to you and you approved us to retain the actuary. It's normally a best practice every three or five years to replicate and validate the results of the actuarial evaluation reports.

holiday pay ‸ was not clearly identified as part of the proposed changes in the 2015 bargaining. In good faith, the city administration wanted to make this right in fairness to the union and its members and we recommended, if you recall, that the holiday pay be added back in retro to the October 1st date to be compensable toward pensionable earnings. At the time, we believed on a preliminary analysis that it was going to increase the annual required contribution to the police pension by about $76,000. However, subsequent to our meeting, the police pension board, based on a recently completed actuary experience study, they approved several plan assumptions to include in decreasing

which is something you're seeing happen nationwide. It's actually a very responsible move on the part of the police pension board. And so based on that, we had Bolton, ‸ the city's actuary, reanalyze the actuary impact and based on the approved assumption changes, the impact to the annual required contribution would now be at $52,000. We did enter into, or I entered into a memo,

and the city's going to put ‸ its contribution in at the end of the year. And this makes the officers whole. Again, as I think I emphasized to you on several occasions, ‸ it's the right thing to do. It wasn't, it's not what was contemplated. And I understand the strict interpretation of the ordinance.

And
