WN <br />MINUTES OF THE READING RETIREMENT BOARD MEETING <br />TUESDAY, APRIL 12, 2005 <br />The Reading Retirement Board held a regular session meeting on April 12, 2005, in the Accountin¢ and Finance <br />Department Office, Town Hall, Reading, Massachusetts. <br />The meeting was called to order at 6:00 P.M. by Chairman Joseph Veno in the presence of members Richard <br />Foley and Elizabeth Klepeis, and board administrator Karen DeAngelis. <br />APPROVAL OF MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS <br />ELIZABETH KLEPEIS moved to grant Wayne Harding an accidental disability retirement based upon the <br />medical panel certificate that has been received by the board. <br />SECONDED BY: RICHARD FOLEY <br />VOTED: (3 -0) UNANIMOUS <br />• ELIZABETH KLEPEIS moved to grant Kathleen Lentini a member - survivor benefit under G.L. c.32, § 12A <br />while she awaits approval by the Board at the next meeting of an accidental death benefit under the provisions <br />of G.L. c.32, § 9 (under the Heart Presumption Law). <br />SECONDED BY: RICHARD FOLEY <br />VOTED: (3 -0) UNANIMOUS <br />The Board discussed inactive member John Dawson's request for a superannuation retirement. John is a former <br />employee who was hired on December 15, 1969, was injured on April 12, 1978 and then was on worker's <br />compensation. His worker's compensation payments ended on March 9, 1984. He was terminated from the <br />Town of Reading on September 1, 1983 when all of his benefits with the Town ran out. His creditable service <br />would seem to be 14 years, 2 months (12/15/69 to 3/9/84) but it may not be that much. The Board Administrator <br />needs to determine under which section of the worker's compensation law he received benefits but it has not been <br />possible. The Board decided to have Elizabeth Klepeis and Richard Foley go through all of John's files to see if <br />they can determine anything more. <br />
