arose. Councilmember Rosene concurred and felt it was important to ensure that such
benefits were equally applied. In regard to the proposed Ordinance's statement regarding
newly hired employees, Councilmember Rosene suggested the following verbage be added:
". . . to newly hired employees who would deserve credit for prior experience . . ."
Councilmember Cohen indicated he was comfortable with the proposed Ordinance and
with Councilmember Rosene's proposed addition.
There was a motion by Councilmember Cohen and seconded by Councilmember Rosene

on the committee and staff was still in the process of sending out applications to others.

in the process.

much of the information was already available to the Council. Councilmember Cohen

to the committee be deferred until the formal policy had been adopted. Councilmember
Pedlar concurred.
