November 16 Working Group Update

 The 911 Telecommunicators Pension Benefit Working Group met on November 16.

The Chair apologized for cancelling the November 9th meeting she says there was a scheduling conflict.

A Vice Chair was elected so if the Chair is ever absent again the show can go on.

As most readers of this blog know opposition letters came in from MNCORA, 88 Hennepin County Detention Deputies and 3 PERA Correctional Retirees. It seems to have got some attention.

At this meeting the Chair said she "got off the rails" by only focusing on two choices for Dispatchers, their current General Fund Plan and the PERA Correctional Plan and she was "tabling" the Correctional Plan so they could consider other options.

Tabled does not mean gone as an option.

The meeting got very long and they did not get through the whole agenda. I tried to question Chad Burkitt about his memo to no avail. It should be the first item at the next meeting.
