RESOLUTION No. 4629 (CCS)
(CITY COUNCIL SERIES)
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
SANTA MONICA SUPPORTING SB 839 REGARDING LIMITING
THE PRESUMPTION OF CERTAIN ILLNESSES FOR WORKERS'
COMPENSATION FOR PUBLIC SAFETY EMPLOYEES TO FIVE
YEARS FROM LAST DATE ACTUALLY WORKED.
WHEREAS, the "Soby Decision" has placed an onerous burden on the
Cities and Counties of the State of California to the extent that large
sums of money are required for potential post retirement workers'
compensation heart attack cases for policemen and firemen; and
WHEREAS, the City of Santa Monica believes that the original intent
of the presumptive clause of Labor Code Section 3212 did not call for
the granting of workers' compensation benefits for heart attack cases
occurring after retirement or termination; and
WHEREAS, SB 839 (Way) would reverse the effect of the "Soby Decision";
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA MONICA DOES
RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. That the City Council of the City of Santa Monica
supports SB 839.
SECTION 2. That copies of this resolution be sent to Senator Howard
Way, to the Senator and Assemblyman representing our districts, and to
the League of California Cities.
SECTION 3. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this
resolution and thenceforth and thereafter the same shall be in full
force and effect.
ADOPTED and APPROVED this 13th day of May, 1975.
