Discussion of FPD&R Amendments underway
Mary Jo Markle
City Council formed a reform team that will discuss how to amend the Fire and Police Disability and Retirement Fund. Council staff, FPD&R Board members, city police and fire unions, citizen representative of the independent review committee members, and a member of the City Club of Portland are all participating in the discussions. The amendments will be referred to the voters in November 2006. The group is expected to complete their discussions by April 1.
Faced with a 1.6 billion dollar liability for one of the only pay as you go disability and pension systems in the county, this is a complex and important issue for the city.
We want to hear your thoughts about the process and the potential outcome.
