The meeting was called to order at 2:55 p.m. by the Chairman, Michael Taylor. The
following members were present: Bill Kirchhoff and Greg Smith. Nigel Price was
excused. Also in attendance was Scott Christiansen, the Plan Attorney, the claimant, Mr.
Aaron Johns, and his wife.
2. Review Medical Information and Disability Application
Scott Christiansen began by reviewing the disability processes and procedures with
everyone. He went on to review the disability criteria detailed in the Pension Plan
Ordinance explaining that the Trustees were also going to have to determine whether
or not the disability occurred in the line of duty.
The medical records that were collected were reviewed and discussed. It was noted for
the record that Mr. Johns had a physical when he began employment with the Police
Department and there were no cardiac issues at that time.
Mr. Johns then provided his personal testimony to the Board.
Following some discussion, the Trustees all agreed that his injuries occurred in the line
of duty, they are total and permanent based on the medical evidence provided and that
he can no longer render service as a Police Officer.
A motion was made by Greg Smith to approve of an in- line -of -duty disability, effective
August 12, 2010. Seconded by Bill Kirchhoff, the motion carried unanimously.
The Attorney will prepare the Order for the Chairman's signature and the Administrator
will work with the Actuary to finalize the calculations.
