Whereas, under current law family members can already collect substantial compensation for actual losses such as medical bills, lost income as well as loss of companionship. Whereas, without appropriate amendments, the combined impact of these bills would devastate local government insurance budgets at a time when the local taxpayers are being squeezed because of changes in the Federal Tax code. Now therefore be it resolved by the Mayor and Council of the Borough of Ho-Ho-Kus that: • S-716 be amended to provide that the cancer presumption be limited to types of cancer that scientific evident establishes that Firefighters develop at a higher rate than the general public, and • S-716 be amended to end the presumption at age 65 when the firefighter becomes eligible for Medicare. Alternatively, S-716 should be amended to remove volunteers and establish a special program for them along the lines recently adopted by New York, Connecticut, Michigan, Colorado and Georgia, and • S-716 also be amended so that the standard to rebut the presumption remains at the current “preponderance of the evidence”, and • S-477 be amended to increase statute of limitation on claims involving sexual molestation against public entities to 7 years, subject to no limitation against the molester, and • S-1766 be amended to remove public entities from “emotional distress” compensation for wrongful death claims subject to Title 59, and Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Governor, the legislative delegation in the 40th district, the Governor, the Senate President and the Speaker of the Assembly. 18-75 Accept Resignation Per Diem Police Dispatcher Clayton Kenny WHEREAS, Clayton Kenny, Per Diem Police Dispatcher, has indicted he wishes to resign his 7 BOROUGH OF HO-HO-KUS MAYOR AND COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING MINUTES June 26, 2018 7:30 p.m. employment with the Borough and from his position as Per Diem Police Dispatcher in order to accept employment as a Police Officer with another Municipality, and WHEREAS, the Mayor and Council thank Mr. Kenny for his service.
