Cumulative Reserve l\1nd being set aside for that ~PQSI.l., It,wl;\s,14s.opinion that the majority of local
citizens were in favor of the said station. It was .mQved, by I{.r, Steele, that $40,000.00 of the Current

~not seconded, and did not carry. Mayor Epperson e:xplained. that the budget ,as now set up, did not include :
lithe retirement system, but since then the opinion of two members had been reversed. The Mayor could not see I
,way clear to entertain motion to set asieje that amount until further consideration be given to retirement "
and other funds.

.:Mr. Conniff spoke for the retirment plan and cited amoWlts to be raised for each department by taxation. It I
i~as his opinion that one mill of the levy v,ould be sufficient far pension plan, and could see no valid 11
i,reason why system should not be installed. Mr. Steele read total figures to which tax levy must supply over i
1$11,000.00, and if the State Examiner would permit transfers from Light and Water Funds to provide matching'
'Ifunds for pensions, he Viould approve the plan. It was moved by Commissioner Johnson that the City of Port -+-
Angeles adopt the retirement system and that two mills be taken from the <Current Expense Cumulative Reserve
End and set aside for the City's share of the retirement Fund. Motion secoooed by Mayor Epperson. Mr.,
,Steele did not vote. The motion carried.
