MINUTES OF THE READING RETIREMENT BOARD MEETING
TUESDAY, APRIL 12, 2005
The Reading Retirement Board held a regular session meeting on April 12, 2005, in the Accountin¢ and Finance
Department Office, Town Hall, Reading, Massachusetts.
The meeting was called to order at 6:00 P.M. by Chairman Joseph Veno in the presence of members Richard
Foley and Elizabeth Klepeis, and board administrator Karen DeAngelis.

SECONDED BY: RICHARD FOLEY
VOTED: (3 -0) UNANIMOUS
• ELIZABETH KLEPEIS moved to grant Kathleen Lentini a member - survivor benefit under G.L. c.32, § 12A
while she awaits approval by the Board at the next meeting of an accidental death benefit under the provisions
of G.L. c.32, § 9 (under the Heart Presumption Law).
SECONDED BY: RICHARD FOLEY
VOTED: (3 -0) UNANIMOUS
The Board discussed inactive member John Dawson's request for a superannuation retirement. John is a former
employee who was hired on December 15, 1969, was injured on April 12, 1978 and then was on worker's
compensation. His worker's compensation payments ended on March 9, 1984. He was terminated from the
Town of Reading on September 1, 1983 when all of his benefits with the Town ran out. His creditable service
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
needs to determine under which section of the worker's compensation law he received benefits but it has not been
possible. The Board decided to have Elizabeth Klepeis and Richard Foley go through all of John's files to see if
they can determine anything more.
