<br /> <br />Item # 1 . 2. <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />TO: Mayor and City Council <br /> <br />FROM: Bruce A. West, Fire Chief <br /> <br />DATE: August 15, 2005 <br /> <br />SUBJECT: Resolution Accepting Cliff Anderson as a Member of the Public <br />Employees Police and Fire Plan <br /> <br />The Public Employees Retirement Association (PERA) is accepting fire inspector's as eligible <br />participants in PERA's Police and Fire Pension Plan. I have been in contact with Scott McLeod <br />from the Public Employee Retirement Association to discuss the issue of what is needed from the <br />City of Elk River for Fire Inspector Cliff Anderson to be accepted as a member of the Public <br />Employees Police and Fire Plan. <br /> <br />There are many other communities, both metro and greater Minnesota, that are now switching their <br />fIre inspector and/ or fIre marshal employees from the PERA Coordinated Plan into the PERA <br />Police and Fire Pension Plan. Information received from PERA is that due to policy changes at <br />PERA, the City of Elk River must submit a resolution adopted by the City of Elk River City Council <br />and a letter formalizing the request to change Cliff Anderson from PERA Coordinated to PERA <br />Police and Fire. <br /> <br />I have met with both Human Resources Representative Lauren Wipper and Finance and <br />Administrative Services Director Lori Johnson to discuss this potential change and any fInancial <br />implications it may have. Attached is a memo from Ms. Johnson addressing this issue of changing <br />from PERA Coordinated to PERA Police and Fire Pension Plan and the short-term and long-term <br />budget implications. <br /> <br />If you have any questions please feel free to call me at the Elk River Fire Department, 763-635-1105. <br /> <br />Action Requested <br />Mayor and Council approval of the attached resolution accepting Cliff Anderson as a member of the <br />Public Employees Police and Fire Plan. <br /> <br />S,\OFFSITE\FlRE\StaffMemos\2005\Anderson - Police and Fire Plan. doc <br />
