CITY OF COLTON AGENDA REPORT FOR THE COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 19, 2004 Item #7 TO: Honorable Mayor And Members of the City Council FROM: Anthony Arroyo, Human Resources Manager SUBJECT: Request Determination of Disability Status for Police Officer John Hoffman DATE: October 7, 2004 BACKGROUND: On July 24, 1989, John Hoffman was hired as a Police Officer for the Colton Police Department. ANALYSIS/DISCUSSION: On August 28, 2004, John Hoffman filed an industrial disability retirement application with CalPERS. By law, the City Council is required to make a determination of the member's disability and the deadline established is February 28, 2005 (six months after the City of Colton is in receipt of the application). Given that Mr. Hoffman's effective retirement date is October 1, 2004, this item is being presented to you before the end of the six months so that Mr. Hoffman can receive his retirement benefits in a timely manner. Even though the application is for industrial disability retirement, the City Council can proceed to act on the issue of disability retirement by issuing a formal finding stating that Officer Hoffman was disabled by an injury, as determined by a competent medical opinion, which rendered him incapable of substantially performing the duties of a Police Officer, a position in the Colton Police Department. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: This item does not carry environmental impact. FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact to the present budget since CalPERS will determine disability pension payments. CONFLICT OF INTEREST: — Gift Disclosure Requirements None RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully recommended that the Members of the City Council approve and adopt the proposed Resolution, determining the disability retirement status of Police Officer Hoffman.
