"I would like to have the Committee reactivated that made the study last Spring 1: regarding a Pension Plan within the Police Department, or, the Police Department Committee, make the study. IIThe reason I have suggested the above two committees, there must be funds appropriated to cover a Pension Plan and the Council, being the Governing Body, must approve the payment of this money by the City. On November 15, 1966 this Department will become a Merit System Department and this, within itself, will not cure our employment turnover, The Merit System, plus Pension and salaries, to compare with industry, with ! vacation, days off, medical benefits, hospitalization, funeral and relief associations, uniform allowance and credit union. All this, plus the willingness to make police work a career, in traffic or in the criminal investigation fields, I think, offers a young man a rewarding future, in police work, and attracts more young men to take up this field as a career. i;I would appreciate this study being made and if a feasible plan is drawn up, that it would be in ample time to be placed on the ballot for the voters at the next General Election in the Spring.
