Council discussed the cost -of -living increase for City
retirees which had been a part of the November 2Sth regular
session business. At that time, Council passed Resolution No.
172-8S which said the City would. approve the COL increase only
if the Now ll`ngland plan retirees could be included with the
State Employees' Retirement plan retirees. A letter from the
State plan explained that they could not handle the New England
plan retirees; a letter from the legal staff of the Alabama
League of Municipalities advised that, should the City try to
handle the Now England retirees by a direct payment plan from
city funds, the City would be in violation of Section 68 of
the Alabama Constitution. In view of this, Council decided to
let Resolution No. 172-85 stand, which means no cost -of -living
increase will be given to any City retirees. Councilwoman
Nelson moved to have notice sent to local legislators advising
of the unfairness of this COL Legislative Act. Seconded by
