A lengthy discussion followed, with the Committee giving the following guidance to take back to the Benefit Committee: ■ Develop a reasonable policy ■ Cap the liability ■ Defer payment as long as possible We also briefly discussed the vacation policy, which is proposed to change with all new hires beginning January 1, 2005. The only exception to this change will be the police officers because of the way their contract is written. (d) Adjournment Respectfully submitted, DeSha D. Kalmar Director of Human Resources
