Ann, I hope the distrcit does not plan on making this retirement benefit retroactive. The County of Orange is currently being sued for providing this benefit to their Sheriff deputies retroactively. This is considered a gift of public funds to back fund a state retirement fund. Do the police really deserve this benefit? This is VERY costly and many cities are not trying to get rid of this public safety benefit. Can the district really afford this?
The POA proposal has an “effective July 2008″ date. The department began in 2003 with a $150,000 federal grant. Current costs have grown to $1,000,000 per year.
