Authority is hereby given to the Borough Manager to negotiate
and purchase a group life insurance policy or policies on the lives
of all Borough employees who now or hereafter meet the conditions
of employment and service above set forth. Such policy or policies
of insurance shall inure to the life of each eligible employee in
an amount as determined by the Borough Council from time to time and
in accordance with the policies and regulations of the group insurance
carrier contracted with the Borough. Each eligible employee shall
select his own beneficiary to whom the proceeds shall be payable.
A.
Duly elected or appointed Councilpersons of the Borough of Mount
Union shall be entitled to be insured under the group policy of life
insurance in an amount as from time to time determined by Borough
Council of the Borough of Mount Union and in accordance with the rules
and regulations of the group insurance carrier contracted with by
the Borough.
B.
Salary for Borough Councilpersons of the Borough of Mount Union is
hereby established at $75 per month. Councilpersons of the Borough
of Mount Union shall be entitled to miss two regular meetings of the
Borough Council of the Borough of Mount Union and will be compensated
at the rate of $75 per month. Any Councilperson missing more than
two regularly scheduled meetings shall not be compensated for the
month in which a meeting was missed in excess of the second missed
meeting.
All payments for the insurance under this article shall be paid
for out of Borough funds so long as the employee or employees covered
thereby are employed by the Borough within the meaning of this article,
without any deduction therefor from the salaries or wages of such
employees. When any employee covered by such insurance policy leaves
the service of the Borough or is discharged or retired from his employment,
the payment of the premiums out of Borough funds on behalf of such
employee shall cease, and all liability for payment thereof by the
Borough on behalf of such employee shall cease. In the event that
the policy so provides, the employee leaving the employ of the Borough,
as aforesaid, may convert such policy for his own benefit and thereafter
pay the premiums on his own behalf.
It is hereby declared as a policy of the Council that no employee
who now or hereafter may benefit from the benefits of this article
shall have a vested right to the benefits conferred hereby, and that
the Borough may at any time hereafter repeal, annul, abrogate or change
any or all of the provisions of this article or the benefits conferred
thereby, without any liability on the part of the Borough to continue
thereafter the payment of the premiums for any of the insurance mentioned
herein, if such further action of the Borough Council so provides.

The Borough life insurance which covers all employees at a cost
to the Borough and for all Council members at a cost incurred by those
