MEMORANDUM
DATE: May 20, 2011
TO: Council Members
Mayor Tomlinson
FROM: Tiny B. Washington, CMC
Clerk of Council
SUB: Employees Pension Boards of Trustees
======================================================
The terms of office of Ms. Reather Hollowell, Mr. Lemuel H. Miler, III and
Mr. Joseph Smith on the Employees Pension Boards of Trustees will expire on
June 30, 2011. Mr. Smith is eligible to succeed himself for another term of
office.
As you may recall an ordinance was adopted on last year authorizing the
members of the Employees Pension Boards of Trustees to serve more than two
consecutive terms offices; however, I don?t believe that exception was meant to
apply to those serving in the two positions where a general government
employee, and a public safety employee is appointed by the City Manager and
Mayor.
All appointments to these boards are made pursuant to the provision of
Section 16A-53 of the Columbus Code, a copy of which is attached.
Also, attached for your information, is a list of the current members of
the board, along with a copy of our data sheet on the board.
Please advise if there are any questions.
