Question from the floor asked
whether a man who was held over past
retirement age 65 would receive more
than> $2.50 for prior service? Mr. De-
France said he would not.
Motion on original resolution, car-
ried.
Resolution from Astoria: Chapter No.
8 ,concerned retirement after 30 years
'O service, or at age 65 and two pay
days* per month. The latter part was
referred to another committee^Reso
lution from The Dalles Chapter No. 9
also called for full retirement pay
afteri thirty years of service. Commit
tee recommended that these resolutions
dd not pass because, first, to effect
change it would be necessary to re
compute and rearrange all contributor
rates and, second, it would greatly in
crease the rate to lower age employees.
In making rough calculations on the
basis of ages 35 to 20 it was found one
was almost double the other. It would
make the rate 20% ’ of employee’s sal
ary in order to achieve the reserve ne
cessary to pay out on the basis,of 30
yearsi A third point against this is th at
the state would be the loser by retiring
a man in his prime, losing the invest^
men| in j training him to be of aid and
use to the state and it is against bet
terments of state service. The commit
tee report was adopted and the reso
lutions did not pass.
SI AC Chapter No. 20 relative to state
matching employee contribution 100%.
Inasmuch as the 100% contribution
now.<is in effect and the 70%. is the
actuarial contribution required on that
basis^ the committee recommended that
the resolution do not pass. Committee
report adopted.
The committee presented a resolution
that employee’s contribution be match-
ed by the state on $3600 instead of
$2400. It;w as suggested the resolution
be amended to "$3600 pf more” so as
not to limit the Board of Directors in
joining w ith the League of Oregon
Cities. Motion made and seconded, that
the amendment be adopted. Motion car
ried. Motion carried on Original reso
lution.
