Compromise ends dispute over sergeant's discharge and pension
Village officials and Rich Haltek reach a settlement after a lengthy dispute over his status. Haltek, injured in a 1973 accident, will receive a 65 percent disability pension retroactive to October 20 and can choose a reduced retirement path after 20 years. Jakala notes the deal favors both sides, with Haltek giving up back pay and waiving future lawsuits while the village avoids firing him.
