Also present were all members of the Fire and Commission, Gayle Bantner, H. Robert Goldsmith and Dr. Alan Shapiro, as well as their Attorney, Peter A. Felice. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the impact of the Americans With Disabilities Act upon the respective commissions and their rights and responsibilities. It was discussed as to whether Charles Boyajian, M.D. for the Fire and Police Commissioners, and being the initial medical examiner for all initial appointees, whether it would be conflict for him to make his recommendations to the Fire and Police Commissioners as well as the respective Pension Boards. After lengthy discussion and a discussion of Holmes v. Illinois Retirement Fund 540 N.E. 2d 112 , 133 Ill.Dec.256, (1989) as presented by Peter Felice, it was determined that a policy would be instituted by the respective commissions; and that possibly Dr. Boyajian would only present medical examination results as to eligibility to be able to perform police duties would be certified to the Police and Fire Commission; and that if the Police Pension Board, and/or in the alternative the Fire Pension Board desires copies of lab examinations as well as tests and conclusions from Dr. Boyajian, they would present him with a separate request from them as well as a release and consent from any prospective applicant into their respective funds. Furthermore, it was discussed as to whether a disclosure would be made on the fact sheet presented to prospective applicants to the Police and Fire Departments advising them as the possibility of them being accepted as an employee of the Village and not being eligible to participate in either one of the Pension Funds. Peter Felice indicated that he would contact George Knickerbocker, Village Attorney, to discuss this matter and what programs and what benefits would be rendered to such employees who were appointed a firefighter or police officer and not accepted into the Pension Fund. There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned until such future notice would be sent to all parties.
