A transfer of $750 within the Police Department for heating oil with the funding provided by the gas and electric utilities account. Funding for this account was initially provided in the gas and electric account whereas it should have been separated between the two accounts for tracking and accounting purposes. 3.

Approved as to form, February 16, 2018 James A Caruso, Esq., Corporation Counsel  Memo in Support On March 6th Assistant Chief George VanBramer will mark 40 years of service in the Troy Police Department. He has a planned retirement date of March 30, 2018. The police chiefs are not represented by a union. Instead we have historically entered into separate contracts with each of the individuals serving in those positions. For reasons currently unknown the City never executed a contract with Assistant Chief VanBramer although during his employment we provided him the same benefits afforded the other assistant chiefs and chiefs. This agreement will clarify the terms of the relationship between Assistant Chief VanBramer and the City of Troy for the remainder of his tenure here as well as during his retirement. The attached agreement mirrors the contracts we had with Chiefs Tedesco and Kaiser as well as Deputy Chief McAvoy.
