It is the considered opinion of the Borough
Council that the extension of the social security system to employees
and officers of the Borough of Wilson will be of great benefit, not
only to the employees of the Borough by providing that said employees
and officers may participate in the provisions of the old-age and
survivors insurance system, but also to the Borough of Wilson by enabling
it to attract and retain in employment the best of personnel and thus
increase the efficiency of its government.
The 1951 Session of the General Assembly of
the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, in regular session, enacted a statute,
known as "Act No. 491,"[1] which is the enabling act provided for in Section 218
of Public Law 734, 81st Congress, which designated the Secretary of
Labor and Industry of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to act as the
state agency to implement the coverage of employees and officers under
the said old-age and survivors insurance system. The Borough of Wilson
is hereby authorized by and through the President of the Council and
the Secretary of the Council to execute and deliver to the state agency
a plan or plans and agreement, required under Section 6 of said enabling
act[2] and the Social Security Act, to extend coverage to employees
and officers of the Borough of Wilson, and to do all other necessary
things to effectuate coverage of employees and officers under the
old-age and survivors insurance system.
The Secretary is hereby authorized to establish
a system of payroll deductions to be matched by payments by the Borough
of Wilson to be made into the Contribution Fund of the Social Security
Act through the office of the state agency, and to make charges of
this tax to the fund or funds from which wage or salary payments are
issued to employees of the Borough of Wilson. Such payments are to
be made in accordance with the provisions of the law and regulations
promulgated by the state agency and the Federal Security Administrator.
Such payments which are delinquent shall bear interest at the rate
of 1/2 of 1% per month until such time as payments are made.
Appropriation is hereby made from the proper
fund or funds of the Borough of Wilson in the necessary amount to
pay into the Contribution Fund as provided in Section 4 of the enabling
act [1] and in accordance with the plan or plans and agreement.
Authority is given to the President of the Borough Council and the
Secretary of the Borough Council of the Borough of Wilson to enter
into an agreement with the state agency, which agreement shall be
in accordance with Act No. 491 and with paragraph 218 of the Social
Security Act. Such plan and agreement shall provide that the participation
of this Borough of Wilson shall commence as of January 1, 1951.
