MOTION BY Boardmember Jay Mathias, SECONDED BY Board Member Joe Perry to DENY Alison Braughton's accidental disability application because the record before the Board, relying upon the opinion of Dr. Scott Kirkorsky, does not demonstrate that Ms. Braughton meets the statutory requirements for an accidental disability because:
1. Ms. Braughton's condition is not permanent;
2. Ms. Braughton's condition was not incurred in the performance of her duties; and
3. Ms. Braughton did not terminate employment by reason of accidental disability.
The Board incorporates by reference all of its other findings made on the record to support its denial.
