On the Home Rule Petition, referred on August 10, 2022, Docket #0960,  Re: An Act Regarding the Disability Pension for Richard Cintolo, the committee submitted a report recommending that the petition ought to pass in a new draft.
Number 0959 Councilor Murphy offered the following order for a home rule petition regarding and disability pension for Scott O'Brien and Duncan. Number 0960. Councilor Murphy offer the following order for a home rule petition regarding the disability pension for Richards until. Thank you. The chair recognizes Counsel Murphy of the floor. So take action. On these petitions today and we keep them in committee so we can hold a working session before our next council meeting, so we can get the language correct before we vote and send them back up to the State House for approval. As many of you remember, these six police officers who were injured in the line of duty was brought forward by Councilor Sabby George last session and were all unanimously passed. And I have been working with the police union and the State House because the state initially rejected these home rule petitions due to the Public Employee Retirement Administration Commission not supporting the language the council in the Mayor previously approved. We have the proper language now, so we can add that in our working session. And I also know that we have the home rule petitions for Kurt Stokes and Elaina McAllister that are still in committee, and we will have working sessions to also include the proper language in their home rule petition so we can vote on their disability and retirement at our next council meeting and get them all up to the State House for passage before their next door session. So thank you, Mr. President. Thank you, Counsel Murphy The Chair to Counsel Murphy. Um, Counsel Murphy Well, will stoke and Curt, Stockholder and Elaine also be added to the other police officers that are going up. So the chair. Arroyo may know better, but I know talking with Councilor McMahon that they're still in committee. So I didn't need to put them back. But because the state house rejected them, I filed so that they'll stay in the committee so we don't have to refile them and we could have working sessions. Maybe we'll have all eight together. We may need to have two separate, but I think Chair Arroyo would know better on that. And then we could vote on all eight of them at the next council meeting in the state House said if we have them up to them by then, they will be able to pass before next session. Next session. Thank you, Counselor Murphy, for the important work that you're doing on this. The chair recognizes Counselor Arroyo. Counsel Arroyo, you have the floor. Thank you. There you go. Thank you. President Flynn. Thank you, Counselor Murphy. So we already had a hearing for Curtis Duncan Jr. And what will end up happening is we will have a working session with the ones that we've already had hearings on and we will go forward with those by. The goal is to get these before this body on August 31st. Don't see anything stopping us from that. The one thing I will note is that I am fairly certain that last year, when the council voted on this, they actually voted on three of these names. And so I have to go look back and make sure that some of these folks have actually had their hearings and have provided medical records. Because if I remember correctly, the initial drop from an SS, Abby George had these names on it, but the final one that we voted on had Harry Jean, Terry, Cotton and Ryan the name. And so I have to make sure that all of these names have actually been vetted with medical records and hearings. But the ones that already have which are the names I just said for certain, I have to go look and make sure that I'm accurate on these other ones. And the ones that we've already done that have already been filed will be going up before August 31st, so or on the August 31st. So I will make sure that as a committee we send out to folks those videos of their hearings so that folks can familiarize with familiarize themselves with it, as well as the actual working session date. When we schedule it, it will be this month so that folks can come in and speak to the changes that the State House is asking for, for uniformity. I think it is a good sign that the State House is asking for uniformity on that because it indicates to me that they are looking towards passage of these and so we will do all of that in that session. I have to make sure that all of these names have already had a hearing. I'm not certain that they have. If they haven't, then I can't guarantee those names will go up on the 31st. But the other ones will we won't hold them back for that. And so I just have to double check on that before the 31st. Thank you and thank you, Counsel Arroyo. I'm just wondering if I'm just wondering from the chair to Council Royal. I'm just wondering if if we're able to determine if we're able to do a little bit of research now to determine if the actual hearing was held on those. Three individuals, maybe. Maybe legal counsel can check while we're still we're still meeting them. We just need to confirm. Okay. Okay. Thank you. Okay. Thank you, counselor. We'll take a brief recess. We are in the process of reviewing dockets 095520960. We are seeking some follow up information from. Legal counsel, but at this time, could I recognize counsel? ARROYO Counsel. Arroyo, you have the floor. Thank you, Mr. Chair. It does seem that we did. Now, I remember we did two votes. We had one set, and then we the second set later in that year, the pandemic and all the zooms blur together. But these all went up together, so they'll go all together as one unit. And then we will add Kirk's Stoneking, Jerry and our AMS on there. I was told by our our counsel that there's one edit that may come from the state that we don't have yet, but that we should have it by the 31st. So what we will do is schedule that meeting and give ourselves time to actually get that at it. But once that happens, we'll have a working session and do that and then we will send out all of these committee hearings that happen so that folks can get familiar with them who were not here last year. Thank you. Thank you, Counsel Arroyo. So dark at zero nine, 552.0960 will be referred to the Committee on Government Operations. They'll stay in committee, basically. Mr. Clarke, please read. Dawkins 0961909. Each year.
