<br /> 73-546 - "I submit the attached two ordinances and recommend they be placed on
<br />first reading. One ordinance amends the Supplemental Retirement System and the other
<br />amends the Fire and Police Retirement System to provide vesting rights to City employees.
<br />
<br /> The ordinances provide that employees with ten years of service will have 50% vested
<br />rights in retirement benefits. They shall also receive 5% for each additional year
<br />up to twenty years of service.
<br />
<br /> Employees under the Supplemental System who leave the employment of the City under
<br />the vested interest rights cannot receive retirement benefits until age sixty-five.
<br />Under the Fire and Police system, they must attain age sixty-two.
<br />
<br /> This also amends the Supplemental System to prohibit membership to anyone employed
<br />after age fifty-five."
