McComb, F.C.A. With present revenues, the pension fund was found to be actuarially sound. Finance Officer Vavra presented a financial statement of May 31, 1984 which listed receipts, disbursements, and fund balance. A copy of the Financial Statement is attached and made a part of these proceedings. The largest expenditure is the Current Pensions expense which includes 18 retired firemen. Member Watson moved the Firemen's Pension be raised to $150.00/month effective July 1, 1985. Member Dike seconded the motion and upon roll the motion unanimously carried. Discussion followed regarding years of service. Currently, firemen are eligible to receive pensions when they reach 50 years of age and have 20 years of service in the Fire Department. By State Statute, firemen are now allowed a pension with 10 years of service on a prorated basis. The Fire Department would be in favor of stipulating pensions would only be allowed for medical disabilities for those firemen with at least 10 but less than 20 years of service. Following discussion, the Board recommends obtaining a legal opinion from Town Attorney White prior to further action. Member Dike moved the $100 Death Benefit Payment for David P. Gavell be approved. Member Watson seconded the motion and upon roll call the motion unanimously carried. There being no further business, the meeting adjourned.
