Joint administrative and disability appeals committees move into closed session to consider disability applications and administrative appeals
Summary
At a special called meeting held at the Kentucky Public Pensions Authority offices, the joint administrative and disability appeals committees voted to enter a closed session to consider disability applications and administrative appeals under KRS 61.810; the committees approved prior minutes and heard no public comments.
The joint administrative and disability appeals committees of the County Employees Retirement System and the Kentucky Retirement Systems voted to enter a closed session to consider disability applications and administrative appeals during a special called meeting at the Kentucky Public Pensions Authority offices in Frankfort.
A motion to go into closed session was made and carried after recorded assent. The Chair initiated the request for the motion and the meeting record shows at least one affirmative vote before the Chair announced, "The motion carries." The committees had first approved the minutes of the May 27 meeting earlier in the session.
The statutory basis for the closed session was read into the record by a staff member, who cited KRS 61.810(1)(j) and KRS 61.810(1)(k) as authorizing consideration of disability applications and administrative appeals in closed session. The staff member further referenced KRS 61.661(1) in explaining that each member's account must be administered confidentially due to sensitive medical and member records.
No public comments were received before the vote to move into closed session, and the meeting proceeded to the closed portion to consider the identified cases. The committees did not take any further public action in the portion of the transcript provided.
