Council approves police-retirement ordinance first reading, tables two committee appointments
Summary
Council moved the first reading of an ordinance to amend the police employees retirement plan and approved an amended consent agenda after tabling appointments to the grants review and recreation committees for further review.
The Takoma Park City Council unanimously moved and approved first reading of an ordinance amending Chapter 8.24 of the Takoma Park Code to adjust participant contributions and normal retirement benefits for police employees. Council member Landman moved the ordinance and Council member Hansack seconded; the clerk called the roll and members present voted in the affirmative.
On the consent agenda, council members raised concerns about two committee appointment items. A motion to pull appointments to the grants review committee and the recreation committee was made and seconded so the working group could further reconcile applicant choices; the council voted to table those two appointments and then approved the remainder of the consent agenda by roll call.
The tabled appointments will return to the council after the working group meets and reviews the candidates. No further detail on the specific applicants was recorded during this meeting.
