RESOULTION NO. ______
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RIALTO, CALIFORNIA, FINDING THAT ANDREW LORE A LOCAL SAFETY MEMBER, IS INDUSTRIALLY DISABLED FROM HIS DUTIES AS A FIRE CAPTAIN WHEREAS, the City of Rialto (hereinafter referred to as “City”) is a contracting agency of the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (“CalPERS”); 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 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 orthopedic disabilities to the right shoulder from Andrew Lore, employed by the City in the position of Fire Captain, has been filed with CalPERS; and WHEREAS, the City of Rialto has reviewed the medical and other evidence relevant to such alleged disability.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Rialto does hereby find and determine that Andrew Lore is substantially incapacitated within the meaning of the California Public Employees’ Retirement Law from performance of his duties in the position of Fire Captain for adhesive capsulitis of right shoulder, and does hereby certify under penalty of perjury that this determination was made on the basis of competent medical opinion and was not used as a substitute for the disciplinary process in accordance with Government Code section 21156(a)(2). If the disciplinary process occurred before the member’s separation from employment, all relevant personnel documents were forwarded to CalPERS for determination of the member’s eligibility for disability retirement and CalPERS’ determination that the member is eligible to apply for disability retirement was obtained prior to starting the process of determination. Andrew Lore had filed a Workers’ Compensation claim for his disabling condition. The Workers’ Compensation claim was accepted.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City of Rialto does hereby find and determine that such disability is a result of injury or disease arising out of and in the course of employment with the City. Neither said Andrew Lore nor the agency, City of Rialto, has applied to the Workers’ Compensation Appeals Board for a determination pursuant to Government Code section 21166 whether such disability is industrial; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the last date paid in the position of Fire Captain after expiration of his rights under Gov. Code sections 21163 and 21164, is effective May 6, 2023, and that no dispute as to the expiration of such leave rights is pending. The member will exhaust unused sick leave, compensating time off, or Labor Code 4850 until the last date paid. There is not a possibility of third-party liability. Advanced Disability Pension Payments will be made. The payments will be made biweekly in the amount of $2,274.55 beginning May 7, 2023. The primary disabling condition is orthopedic (right shoulder). The duration of the disabling condition is expected to last at least twelve consecutive months from the date of the application for benefit which is certified by competent medical opinion.
PASSED AND ADOPTED at regular meeting of the City Council of the City of Rialto held on this 11th day of April 2023. _______________________________
