A RESOLUTION OF THE CARMEL BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS AND SAFETY
ESTABLISHING AND REINSTATING EARNED LONGEVITY FOR CITY EMPLOYEE
L. DIANNE FREWER
WHEREAS, on March 2, 1994, the Office of the Attorney General,
State of Indiana, formally demanded repayment to the City of
Cannel, Indiana, a sum of $726.92 from City employee, L. Dianne
Frewer for monies overpaid by the City of Cannel to said employee
for earned longevity; and
WHEREAS, the Office of the Attorney General, State of Indiana,
urged said employee to pay the funds or file a formal dispute with
the Office of the Attorney General; and
WHEREAS, City of Cannel employee, L. Dianne Frewer so filed a
petition to the Indiana Attorney General disputing said charge and
disputing removal of one year of earned longevity from her salary;
and
WHEREAS, after review of all documents pertaining to the disputed
charge, on March 31, 1994 the Office of the Attorney General of the
State of Indiana wrote a decision as follows: "...Because of the
ambiguity of your hire date and the varying interpretation of the
ordinance I have recommended to the State Board of Accounts that
this matter not be pursued. The State Board of Accounts has agreed
with our decision to not continue pursuit of this matter."; and
WHEREAS, the Cannel Board of Public Works and Safety agrees that
ambiguity exists and deems it necessary to exempt the employee from
liability and to reestablish longevity as originally computed by
the City due to the findings of the Attorney General's Office of
the State of Indiana and agreement of the State Board of Accounts
to not pursue the matter.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Cannel Board of Public Works
and Safety that effective immediately, establishment of earned
longevity for City of Cannel employee L. Dianne Frewer shall be the
earned longevity as prescribed by the City in 1986, to be based
upon a first year earned longevity date effective January 1, 1987.
Be it further resolved that the Board respectfully requests all
monies withheld from L. Dianne Frewer as a result of reducing her
hi-weekly salary by removal of one (1) year earned longevity, since
November 1992, be reimbursed to her, in full, by the Clerk-
Treasurer of the City of Carmel as expeditiously as possible.
APPROVED by the Board of Public Works and Safety of the City of
Cannel, Indiana this 20th day of July, 1994.
