it is based on medical evidence by a doctor or clinic appointed by the local board which
establishes an accidental disability. Seconded by Richard Tracy Sr. Motion carried
unanimously.
The packet was previously submitted to PSPRS. Dr. Thrasher's signed Accidental Disability
Retirement Questionnaire will be sent with today's minutes and submitted to the PSPRS by fax
today and also sent overnight to PSPRS. Sgt. Trujillo will confirm that PSPRS received the
packet. The Board will receive copies of the minutes for review. Since the board is not
scheduled to meet until the annual meeting in February 2005, they will not be able to approve the
minutes until then. The minutes will be sent in draft format to the PSPRS.
Item 10 of the Accidental Disability Checklist was not applicable to Officer Tucker.
REVIEW OF RETIREMENT APPLICATION

recognizes that an adjustment on the final contribution may be necessary due to Officer Leigh's
potential for overtime. This adjustment is acceptable to the Board Seconded by Chuck Sweet.
Motion passed unanimously.

calculations after they have been calculated, submitted to PSPRS then are accepted and
agreed upon by PSPRS that they are within acceptable range.
