Page 2 of 9

Steven Turner, Chairperson, requested assistant Board Secretary Nichole Bombard to address Mr. Bettendorfs separation of employment.

His last day of work was January 3, 2021. The Accidental Disability shall be effective as of February 1, 2021. Lanna seconded the motion, and the vote was unanimous to approve.

Page 3 of 9

Mr. Scotford and his attorney Kathryn Baillie were in attendance and requested to address the Board in modified executive session.

Modified Executive Session - Steven asked for a motion to end the Open Session and to move into Modified Executive Session for confidential medical review. George made a motion to end the Open Session and to move into Modified Executive Session for confidential medical review. Lanna seconded the motion, and the vote was unanimous to end the Open Session and move into Executive Session at 10:10 a.m.


Steven asked for a motion. George made a motion to table the application for an accidental disability for Robert Scotford and request a second Independent Medical Examination (IME) based upon conflicting information in the evidence provided. Lanna seconded the motion and the vote was unanimous to approve.

Steven asked the Board to explain their reasoning for tabling the item. George voted to table the item due to the IME report related to the findings on pages 26, 28 - 29 (discussion items 1, 3, 4), and the testing summary quoted by the doctor on pages 29 - 30, and there is further concern that the testing may not be a fair representation of findings due to Mr. Scotford's extenuating personal circumstances at the time of the exam.

Dan voted to table the item in concurrence with George's items listed and to get a more accurate representation of Mr. Scotford's responses due to outside factors and to receive a more complete and definitive report.

Bill voted to table the item because of concerns with the conflicting information presented in the report and he was not comfortable without doing the due diligence needed to resolve any concerns the board has.

Lanna voted to table the item due to the conflicting statements on page 30 (discussion item 1) in the summary of the testing results and it would be a disservice to the applicant not to have a more complete report considering what was going on in his personal life at the time.

Steven voted to table the item because he feels the Board has a tremendous responsibility to the retirement system and to the individuals within the retirement system. If the application is sent on to the State Board, there is a chance that it would be sent back to the local board for reevaluation. Therefore, it is necessary for all parties involved to reevaluate and to send a complete and thorough packet to the State Board.

The Board confirmed that it is the intention of the vote reflected above, to have the applicant evaluated by a different doctor.

c. Consideration, Discussion, and appropriate Action regarding the Application for Beneficiary Benefits for Mayra Britt, widow of Lyndon Tyler Britt.

January 11, 2021. The Board further confirms that the Marriage License for Lyndon Tyler Britt and Mayra Ivette Gonzalez (#129116) was duly recorded in Maricopa County on July 30, 1994. The Board Secretary, Christine Jarosik, verbally confirmed the Recordation date on January 27, 2021, by Maricopa County Marriage License Department staff member named Kennedy. Further, move to approve the application dated January 11, 2021 based on the January 29, 2021 memorandum submitted to the Board, which established the death as a line of duty death because it was the direct and proximate result of the performance of his public safety duties as provided under A.R.S.§ 38-846(D). George seconded the motion and the vote was unanimous to approve.

Steven asked the Board to explain their reasoning for voting to approve the beneficiary benefits. The Board was provided a memorandum from Ms. Nielsen dated January 29, 2021 regarding the events of Officer Lyndon "Tyler" Britt's passing. George voted to approve based on the clear, concise and specific documented exposures Tyler Britt had related to COVID-19 in particular calls for service from December 8-18, 2020 in which he responded to 23 calls for service having direct and close contact with members of the public who could have had a positive diagnosis. Specifically on December 11, 2021 at 22:30 hours, a call for service during which he interacted with individuals associated with a residence listed on the Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS) known addresses of individuals who have tested positive for COVID-19. Furthermore, George cites all the additional details in the memo.

Lanna voted to approve due to the numerous calls and exposures including symptomatic individuals, and specifically the call for service on December 11, 2020 to a house with individuals that had tested positive for COVID-19 and the additional exposures to masked and unmasked individuals.

Dan voted to approve due to the information outlined in the memo that details an adequate documentation to show the exposures during performance of his duties, which showed a line to be drawn between those exposures and the positive test.

Bill voted to approve based on the memorandum because it clearly outlines the exposures specifically December 11, and 8-18, 2020.

Steven voted to approve due to the adequate number of details that were listed in the memorandum, of the numerous cases and possible exposures documented, which showed a clear line between those exposures and the positive test.

4. ACTION AGENDA

Executive Session - Pursuant to A.R.S. Section 38-431.03 (A), the Chandler Local Police Public Safety Personnel Retirement Board may vote to convene in executive session to discuss or consider confidential records exempt by law from public inspection, and/or to consult with the Board's attorney for legal advice and to consider the Board's position and to instruct the Board's attorney regarding its position on items 4(a) through 4(n). The Board will take action on those items in open session.

Chairperson Steven Turner moved item 4(n) to 4 (a) from the original agenda.

Page 1 of 8

a. Consideration, Discussion and appropriate Action for hiring a former City of Chandler Police Officer retiree, Daniel Scott Williams, as a Court Security Officer.

Page 2 of 8

Rae Lynn informed the Board of the recruitment process for the Court Security Officer position. Recruitment for the position was open to internal and external applicants beginning July 8 - July 15, 2021. There was a total of 182 applications received and then narrowed down to applicants that had prior court or police experience. Anyone with only private security experience was excluded to make the recruitment more manageable. Then the applicants were narrowed to 6 applicant interviews and 3 finalists were put forward. Mr. Williams was the highest ranking and the offer has been made pending Board approval. There was no evidence of an advance agreement to hire Mr. Williams as a CSO. This was a budgeted vacant position and went through the open, competitive recruitment process.

Steven asked for a motion. Dan made a motion to approve the rehiring of Daniel Scott Williams for the City of Chandler as a Court Security Officer, effective September 7, 2021, after having retired from the City of Chandler as a Police Officer on June 4, 2021. Based on the information provided about the two positions and the hiring process, the Board finds:

(1) Mr. Williams IS eligible to continue to receive a PSPRS pension because it has been more than sixty days from the date of retirement for an entry level position.

(2) The Board has reviewed both job descriptions and finds that the position he is being hired for, Court Security Officer, is an entry level position and not the same as Police Officer, from which he retired.

(3) The Board has reviewed information about the hiring process for the Court Security Officer position, and finds that it was an open competitive process, and there was no evidence of an advance agreement to hire Mr. Williams into that job before he retired.

(4) And the position is not a Public Safety eligible position, therefore the City of Chandler IS NOT responsible for paying the PSPRS alternate contribution rate.

The motion was seconded by Bill and the vote was unanimous to approve.
