The council has to determine if the person qualifies. The effective date of the policy is immediate onward, not retroactively back to anyone injured in the past,but if currently injured,they could apply for the benefits. Councilman Cools stated the problem with this is it doesn't cover injuries in the past and that can't be done so he was not in favor. Councilman Langley said there was a need to improve things going forward. Council President Mark Harris said it should be for someone injured on duty tomorrow and forward not anyone currently injured on duty. Councilman Goodwin said he would be abstaining from voting since he obviously was the one currently injured on duty.
