Applicant was not present and no presentation was requested.
b. APPOINT MEDICAL BOARD
Richard Tracy Sr. MOVED to direct the Town Attorney with the Human
Resource Division and the Police Department to find a local Independent
Medical Examiner (IME) to Chair a Medical Board to consist of an additional
IME from Texas, nearer the applicant's home and to bring forward IME
recommendations to this Board who can provide medical opinions regarding
the applicant's health/medical condition and who can answer the three
required medical questions in the process and also those additional questions
raised by the Board during the meeting. When the Medical Board
recommendations are ready, the Board would have another meeting to appoint
the Board formally and a requested completion time. Seconded by Corporal
Troy Kranz. Motion unanimously carried.
CONSIDERATION AND/OR POSSIBLE ACTION REGARDING THE APPLICATION
FOR DISABILITY RETIREMENT RECEIVED FROM PATRICK F. FOJT
Tabled until after Medical Review Board responses are complete.
NEW BUSINESS
Currently, Oro Valley police officer membership to the Public Safety Personnel Retirement
System (PSPRS) is the day the applicant starts Basic Academy. As they are not certified police
officers until after they graduate from Basic Academy, it was requested that the Local Board
change the membership to the Public Safety Personnel Retirement System upon successful
completion of Basic Academy when they are Arizona Peace Officer Standards and Training
Board Certified as a Police Officer.
The full range of elements need to be considered (i.e. standards with other agencies, employee
agreement, how it affects benefits, impact to new recruits, etc.) As to the question of whether the
recruit would put money into the system, the recruit would not put money into the PSPRS until
he/she achieved certified police officer status, then the officer would start putting money into it.
Human Resource is to look into it. It was decided to put this as an action item at a later date.
ADJOURNMENT
Corporal Kranz MOVED to adjourn. Richard Tracy Sr. seconded the motion. Motion
unanimously carried.
Meeting adjourned at 5:13 p.m.
