Dave Crow stated that the
Task Force was “on hold” pending the outcome of two ballot propositions
regarding the Retirement System and makeup of the Retirement Board and the
mayor’s race.
He reported that the Board
agenda is available on the Retirement Office web site and that anyone can
request that they be put on an e-mail notification list.
Dave told the membership that
the 13th check, the three Corbett Settlement checks and the regular November
pension check would be rolled into one “super check” going out by mail or electronically
around the end of November. He reminded
all that three Corbett checks in one year could have tax consequences come
April and to consider authorizing additional withholding, both State and
Federal, from the “super check.”
John Tsiknas reported 5,183
“hits” on the Association’s web site since May 1st.
Dora Garcia asked for volunteer greeters and door workers. She needs two each month and if everyone would take a turn it would spread the work around. Besides, it’s a great way to meet your fellow retirees.
Don Robbins stated that there
were seven people interested in becoming Board members but no candidates as yet
for Secretary. Elections will take place at the November meeting.
The meeting was adjourned at
11:20 AM.
Respectfully submitted,
Robert E. Cain
