Whereas, various municipalities in the State have pension plans
for their employees, most of which are local to the particular city,
such as the Minneapolis Retirement plan for its employees, and the
police and fire pension plans for each city of the first class, and
Whereas, these plans have been carefully supervised by the local
authorities and the one State-wide general plan, the P. E. R. A. has,
since its creation, had the supervision of State officials in addition
to a very competent Board of Directors, and all such plans have been
properly operated to the satisfaction of the employees and the local
governing bodies, and
Whereas, the League of Minnesota Municipalities has on occasion
adopted resolutions seeking to change or interfere with the operation of
some of these pension plans, and at no time has succeeded in passing
legislation making such changes because of the opposition of the
employees and local units of government which would have been affected
by such legislation, now therefore be it
Resolved, that the Council of the City of Saint Paul hereby
instructs its representatives at the Annual Meeting of the League at
Winona, Minnesota, to submit a resolution to the effect that the
League does hereby determine that the subject of pensions and pension
plans be stricken from its agenda until such time as the subject is
reinstated therein by, a five - sixths vote of its members at a Legislative
Conference.
