National City, California, November 19, 194+7
Adjourned meeting of November 18, 1947, of the City Council
was called to order by Mayor Fritz at 7:30 P. M. Councilmen
present: Adams, Cordingly, Newberry, Thatcher, Fritz.
ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER DICKSON reported on his telephone con-
versation to Sacramento with officials of the State Retirement
System, and stated that it would be impossible for the City to
do anything in regard to an election until they adopt the Res-
olution of Intention. Mayor Fritz suggested that the special
election be held as early in January as possible. Councilman
Adams stated that he was in favor of putting the retirement
system on the ballot at the General Election. Councilman
Newberry stated that the employees do not want the retirement
system on the general election ballot as it could be used as a
political football. Mayor Fritz stated that under Civil Service
the employees are not allowed to campaign in an election but
could openly support the retirement system on a special election.
Councilman Adams stated that he thought the employees were wrong
in thinking that the bill would be used as a political football
in a general election.
Provisions adopted by the Council to apply in the retirement
contract are as follows: Moved by Newberry, seconded by That-
cher, that the retirement age of 60 years, other than the
Policemen and Firemen, which will be 55 years, be adopted. Car-
ried, all Councilmen present voting aye. Moved by Newberry,
seconded by Adams, that the employees upon retirement receive
per month 1/60 of their average salary received in the five
years previous to retirement, but not to exceed $200.00 per month,
