If passed, this proposal would let Barton Temple keep serving as a Holland firefighter until age 70, if he remains able to serve and the select board agrees.
Holland could keep Barton Temple as a firefighter until age 70 if he stays fit. He would stop sooner if he retires or the select board removes or does not reappoint him.
For service after age 65, no more retirement deductions would come from Temple's regular pay. When he retires, he would receive the benefit he would have received if he had retired at 65.
Holland could keep Barton Temple serving as a firefighter. This applies only to Barton Temple in Holland's fire department. He must be mentally and physically able to do the job. The select board alone decides whether to keep him. Holland may require a yearly exam by an impartial doctor it chooses and would pay for it. If passed, this would take effect upon passage. His service would end at the first of those stopping points.
No further retirement deductions would be taken from Temple's regular pay, and his retirement benefit would be set at the age-65 amount. These rules apply to Barton Temple's regular pay and retirement benefit. The deduction rule covers only service after he reaches age 65. His retirement benefit would equal what he would have received if he had retired at 65. The pay rule applies after he reaches age 65, and the benefit rule applies when he retires. Both would take effect upon passage.
No hearings or votes scheduled.
