Application for Accidental Disability Retirement from the Public Safety Personnel Retirement System
("PSPRS") —Grant Eaton
Grant Eaton, a Police Officer with the City of Glendale, applied for Accidental Disability Retirement through
the Public Safety Personnel Retirement System ("PSPRS") on October 12, 2009. He has been a member of
the PSPRS since July 1, 1996. Mr. Eaton had requested to be present for the Board's discussion of his
application.
Lt. John Wolfe advised the PSPRS Police Board that Mr. Eaton had encountered an unavoidable work-related
commitment, and was unable to attend the meeting, but had reiterated his request to be present when the Board
discussed his disability application. At this time, Larry Clark, Acting Chair, asked for a motion to table the
application until the next Board meeting so that Mr. Eaton could be present. Lt. John Wolfe made a motion to
table the application and Mayor Scruggs seconded the motion. The Board voted and passed the motion
unanimously.
Distribution of Annual Actuarial Valuation of Members for Glendale Police Covered By the PSPRS
The Board received a copy of the June 30, 2009 Annual Actuarial Valuation Report of Glendale Police
covered by the PSPRS. The purpose of the valuation is to measure the funding progress of the plan and to
establish contribution rates for the 2010-2011 fiscal year.
Distribution of the Open Meeting Law Booklet
The Board received a copy of the Open Meeting Law Booklet in keeping with Arizona Revised Statutes §38-
431-01(G).
At this time, Mayor Elaine Scruggs advised the Board to always use caution when answering any e-mail that
is addressed to all Board Members (e.g., a meeting reminder). Mayor Scruggs stated that if a `Reply All' is
used and there happens to be any additional information appearing in the e-mail, it becomes problematic as it
could be considered a `meeting' and would be in violation of the Open Meeting Law. Mayor Scruggs stated
that the safest way to proceed is not to use a `Reply All'.
Distribution of the Calendar for 2010 PSPRS Board Meetings
The Board received a calendar listing the PSPRS Board Meetings scheduled in 2010.
New Business
There was no new business.
Adjournment
Larry Clark asked for a motion to adjourn the meeting. Mayor Elaine Scruggs made a motion to adjourn the
