The Charter states that if a vacancy occurs within 180 days PAGE 2- COUNCIL SPECIAL MEETING MINUTES - November 2 , 1981 of a primary or general election that the position must remain vacant until that election. Because of the recall timing , it is possible that the election could be within the 180 days of the primary election. If the recall effort were successful and there were vacancy, it would leave four members of Council to operate until the election date. City Attorney further commented there is a way for Council to avoid the vacancy by setting the recall election before November 20, 1981 . He suggested Council adopt an ordinance to be effec- tive contingent upon approval of recall election of Mayor . Mayor Bishop and Councilman Scheckla left meeting 7 :51 P.M. 7 . President of Council , John Cook adjourned the meeting at 7 : 52 P.M. due to lack of quorum. Recorder - C1 y o,t r ATTEST: V Mayor - City otTigard PAGE 3 - COUNCIL SPECIAL MEETING MINUTES - November 2 , 1981 October 28, 1981 1)J'.MORA*:DUH TO: City Administrator FROM: Finance Director SUBJECT: Appointment — Agent of Record — Bankers Life Pension Program This memo is to provide Council with the necessary information to authorize the appointment of an "Agent of Record" for the Bankers Life Police Pension Program. The previous agent was dismissed by the City Administrator based on complaints by Police personnel and City Staff with respect to performance and lack of service. As a result, Chief Adams, a-zs a representative of the Police Department , and myself interviewed 4 agents, evaluating their experience, ability to respond to police personnel concerns, knowledge of pension programs and ability to represent the City. The agents interviewed are: Steve W. Brookshire, 1221 SW Yamhill, Suite 303, Portland Bob Heestand, 1130 SW Morrison, Portland John Green, 138 Sia Clay Street, Portland Joe Loomis, 1811 Sla Barbur Boulevard, Portland John Greer was selected as the individual who could best fulfill the above requirements of representing the City and it is the staff's recommendation that he be appointed as Agent of Record. Timing is an important factor in this appointment as the agent will need time to study the City plan as well as become familiar with the changes rude by the Oregon State Legislature (new law effective September 1981). A meeting has been scheduled on November 12, 1981 by P.E.R.S. to explain the changes and procedures to have private plans revised. It would be useful to have the new agent attend. Another issue has developed regarding the pension program. Police personnel have expressed an interest in transferring the pension program from Bankers Life to Public Employment Retirement System (P.E.R.S.) . The City Administrator will be recommending a study of our plan vs. P.E.R.S. (estimated cost approximately $320) . This report will be evaluated by the Administrative Assistant, a representative of the Police Department and myself. The result of the study will be reported to Council at a later date. The action requested of Council at this time would be the appointment of an "Agent of Record" to represent the City on matters pertaining to the Bankers Life Pension Program. ;fit J'j {
