Mr., McDonough stated that there are a couple of concerns. The first is the DROP program and we just touched on raises of three (3) percent. The other concern is the 2% multiplier for the guys that are coming on to raise it to three (3) percent. Of course instead of them paying five (5) percent, they would be paying eight (8) percent. In addition would be these change would bring in new guys. Another big concern is getting a COLA after retirement. Over half in Florida already have this benefit. This would be another perk. With this, the guys will stick around here. This would be a great benefit. The membership is looking for keeping people here and when we retire what really works. We need to have some discussion about this. It's the DROP which is a "no-brainer". The City feels this is a positive it just has to be reviewed. The membership wants to make those employed on or after October 1, 2011 whole. The 185 State Money can help then we will work with this. The City, Mr. Killgore understands where the membership is coming from and we will work out some of the minor changes and I will go to the City Manager to discuss your concerns. The first budget meeting is the 14`h of September. Mr. Killgore is asking for the DROP information from Steve Marcinik and we have to go to the City Manager. We will also discuss the Vehicle Take Home Program. Mr. Killgore will send Mr. Boettjer an email regarding the next meeting. The meeting ended at 4:50 PM.
