WHEREAS, the City of Tustin (hereinafter referred to as "City") is a contracting
agency of the California Public Employees' Retirement System (CaIPERS); and
WHEREAS, the California Public Employees' Retirement Law requires that a
contracting agency determine whether an employee of such agency in employment in
which he/she is classified as a local safety member is disabled for purposes of the
California Public Employees' Retirement Law and whether such disability is "industrial"
within the meaning of such law; and
WHEREAS, an application for the industrial disability retirement of John Strain,
employed by the City in the position of Police Lieutenant, for cardiovascular and sleep
disorder disabilities, has been filed with CaIPERS; and
WHEREAS, the City has reviewed the medical and other evidence relevant to
such alleged disability.
