introduction of the amendment by April lst instead of July lst. City Attorney Currie �� . stated that it would be possible to introduce ordinance tonight and adopt same on March 8th and adopt the plan as of May lst if the Council so desired. Councilwoman Tinney stated that the ori�inal action of the Council establishing July lst was based on inPormation that the necessary funds wers not available, however, City Auditor worked up a statement which indicated the status of retirement fund at the present time, esti- �■-* ' mating the amounts anticipated from �e Library, Port, Parking Meter and P�ater Departments. � The total of all of these funds would appear to be sufficient to adopt the plan prior to July lst without creating a drain upon the Unbudgeted Reserve. After further dis- cussion as to the effect upon the employees on retirement and those about to retire, � it was decided to take no further action., the plan to go into effect at the beginnin� �rr of the next f iscal year.
