Our meeting with the City Manager was quite productive and while Mr. Gretsas doesn't feel he can support an across the board 5% COLA, he was receptive to a possible increase for members retired prior to November 1, 2000. We will contact the Actuary to provide updated numbers for that group.

At the request of the City Manager's Office, the meeting scheduled for today regarding the recommended retiree COLA has been postponed to Monday, April 21st, at 2:00 PM.
