<br />of the City of Portsmouth, Virginia, by amending Sections 31---(al and 31-162(a~ pertaining
<br />to Reduction of Disability Retirement Allowance.
<br />
<br /> "A.recen~ly~nacted State law has superceded'two sestions of the Retirement Chapter of
<br />the Portsmouth City Code. The affected provisions relate to the reduction of disability pensi~
<br />if the retiree obtains employment from another employer. Amendments are proposed that will
<br />bring the City retirement Code into conformance w~th~the recen{ mandate. Explanation of the
<br />proposed amendments is as follows:
<br />
<br /> Under our current City Code, if a person retired on disability subsequently
<br /> returns to gainful employment, the disability pension is reduced such that
<br /> the pension plus work income does not exseed the average final pay (adjusted
<br /> for pension increases). A new State mandate provides a reduction ~ormula
<br /> that will mean smaller reductions to the pensions of working disability
<br /> retirees. Disability pensions must now be reduced such that the pension plus
<br /> ~ork income does not exceed the salar) the retiree would have had if he had
<br /> remained employed and received both general wage increases and merit increases.
<br /> The new mandate will have an estimated annual cost to the C~ty ~etirement
<br /> System of $15,000 to ~20,00[ in additional pension payments to disability
<br /> retirees who are employed. To provide full conformance with the State
<br /> ordinanca the effective date of the amendment is proposed to be July l, 1983.
<br />
<br /> The proposed retirement modifications will achieve the necessary compliance with the
<br />State mandate on disability pensions. Approval of the amendments is recommended."
<br />
<br /> On motion of Mr. Beamer and seconded by Mrs. Webb, the following ordinance was adopted
<br />first and final readi~ and by the following vote:
<br />
<br /> "AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND THE CODE OF THE CITY OF PORTSMOUTH, VIRGINIA, BY AMENDING
<br /> SECTIONS 31-77~a) AND 31-162(a) PERTAINING TO REDUCTION OF DISABILITY RETIREMENT
<br /> ALLOWANCE."
