CONSIDERATION AND POSSIBLE ACTION ON THE MEDICAL EVALUATION
REPORT FROM DR. THRASHER, APPOINTED BY THE LOCAL BOARD, TO
DECIDE ON A FINDING OF ACCIDENTAL DISABILITY FOR MR. HERB
WILLIAMS
Ms. Abbey stated that all the board members received a copy of Dr. Thrashers
report with the attached accidental disability retirement questionnaire.
Mr. Tracy requested a motion to approve and accept the report from Dr. Thrasher
with the finding of accidental disability for Mr. Herb Williams with the emphasis on
the three findings; that the claimant has a physical condition which totally and
permanently prevents him from performing a reasonable range of duties within
his job classification, that the claimants disability is a result from a physical
condition or injury that did not exist before the claimants date of membership in
PSPRS, and that the disabling condition was incurred in the performance of
claimants duties as a police officer. Mr. Horetski seconded the Motion. Motion
passed, (5-0).
CONSIDERATION AND POSSIBLE ACTION ESTABLISHING MR. WILLIAMS
LAST DAY ON EMPLOYER PAYROLL AS BEING APRIL 20, 2009.
Ms Abbey stated that once the local board approves the disability retirement, the
final paperwork will be completed and will go to the state for processing. The
local board needs to fill out the form with the last date of work on the employers
payroll. The minutes of the meeting will be forwarded off to the board in Phoenix
along with all of the paperwork.
Mr. Tracy requested a motion to establish that Mr. Williams last day on the Town
of Oro Valley payroll would be April 20, 2009. Mr. Andrews seconded the
Motion. Motion passed, (5-0).
Mayor Loomis asked Mr. Rosen and Ms. Abbey if the local board has taken all of
the actions necessary and used all of the proper wording in the motion to identify
the finding of accidental disability as may be necessary in order to complete and
submit the paperwork.
Mr. Rosen stated that we have complied with the requirements of the statute and
Ms. Abbey agreed.
