Disability Retirement - Kris M~rrison
The Disability Review Board, comprised of Ron Nault, Royleen White and myself
held a hearing on Friday, July 2, 1982 regarding the matter of Kris
Morrison's disability retirement. The retirement action was initiated by the
City based on Officer Morrison's continuing medical and psychological
problems culminating in her release from active duty on September 9, 1981.
The board reviewed the relevant medical reports including the most recent
report from Dr. Albert J. Rosenstein, her psychologist, on 2/16/82 who rated
her as "Permanent and Stationary with her condition moderate-severe." With
this disability rating on a permanent basis, Kris would be considered to be
permanently disabled from the position of Police Officer.
In reviewing the question of causation, it was felt there was sufficient
reference in the medical reports to the Job-related nature of Kris' injuries
to firmly establish that she has an industrially caused injury (condition)
for the purpose of retirement under the guidelines of the Public Employees
Retirement System.
Based on the results of the hearing, it is recommended to the Council that
~ou-approve the attached resolution regarding Kris Morrison's retirem~nt,
establishing 2/16/82 as the effective date of her retirement and establishing
her retirement as being the result of a job-related disability.
