Serious Discrepancy with Lodi’s Pension Numbers for Marcel Wurms…

At the August 21, 2012 council meeting, I asked the following question:




The following month, this administration acknowledged that I was right.  Marcel Wurms never belonged in the pension program for his position as “Special Borough Counsel” in which they claimed he was paid $65,000 a year. 

They also said he was being paid to be the Deputy Emergency Management Coordinator.  With their numbers, he would be making almost $5,000 a year for his part-time employment as Deputy Emergency Management Coordinator.  They claimed he would remain in the pension program only for that position.

By the end of 2012, no more than $5,000 should have been listed as a pensionable salary for Marcel Wurms.  That was not the case.
Public sites list Marcel Wurms’ number of public positions being reduced from two to one.  However, they show his pensionable salary only being reduced from $70,000 to $49,133. 

This administration stated at a public meeting that his $65,000 position was removed from the pension program.  They should not be reporting a $49,133 salary for his part time position in the OEM.

This is a serious matter.  It should be addressed swiftly.
