the value of the property.

Mr. Kraft read Temp. Ord. #1758 by title on first reading.
Comm. Schreiber MOVED to APPROVE Temp. Ord. #1758, SECONDED by V/M Mishkin.
Stanley Hawthorne, Finance Director, said this amendment to the Pension Ordinance is
mostly housekeeping. He stated that due to the DMG changes in job titles, the categories
of the titles have changed slightly. He said previously there was a category for
Executive/Managerial, which allows for these particular employees to opt out of the City's
Pension Plan.
Mr. Hawthorne said that based on the DMG Study, new categories were developed,
Executive and Managerial/Professional, both of which are non -union employees. He said
this provides for these employees to have a choice whether or not to opt out of the Pension
Plan. He said the effect of this would be a reduction to support the Pension Plan and
possibly provide a cost savings to the City.
