[Ord. 36-2004, 05 § 1, passed 4-25-2005]
The City of Lebanon, being a member municipality of the Pennsylvania
Municipal Retirement System, hereby elects to change its member benefits
in that System as authorized by the Pennsylvania Municipal Retirement
Law, Act 15 of 1974, as amended, and does hereby agree to be bound
by all the requirements and provisions of said Law, and to assume
all obligations, financial and otherwise, placed upon member municipalities.
All references hereafter shall be based on benefits negotiated between
the Board and the municipality under the provisions of Article IV
of the Pennsylvania Municipal Retirement Law.
[Ord. 36-2004, 05 § 2, passed 4-25-2005]
Membership in the Pennsylvania Municipal Retirement System shall
be mandatory for all full-time municipal employees of the City. Membership
for elected officials, part-time employees, and employees hired on
a temporary or seasonal basis is prohibited, as is membership for
individuals paid only on a fee basis.
[Ord. 36-2004, 05 § 3, passed 4-25-2005]
(a)
All existing part-time employees who are members of the City plan
in the System shall remain members of the City plan in the System
unless the employee elects to withdraw from the pension plan. A member
election to withdraw from the plan must be made in writing and received
by the City before July 1, 2005, and shall be irrevocable.
(b)
All existing part-time employees who are not enrolled in the City
plan in the System may join the City plan in the System if the employee:
(1) makes a written election to join the City plan in the System which
must be received by the City before July 1, 2005; and (2) makes the
required payment of all member contributions plus regular interest
that would have been credited to those contributions had they participated
in the System from their date of hire. The election, once made, is
irrevocable. Failure of the part-time employee to make the required
contributions and regular interest payments as determined by the System
shall be considered the same as if the part-time employee had chosen
not to participate in the System.
[Ord. 36-2004, 05 § 3, passed 4-25-2005]
Credit for prior service for original members is granted for
each year or partial year thereof that the member was employed by
the City from original date of hire or the expiration of the member's
probationary period if one so existed. Benefits provided to members
in the agreement dated April 25, 2005, shall accrue based on all credited
services granted and earned in accordance with this section.
[Ord. 36-2004, 05 § 3, passed 4-25-2005]
Payment for any obligation established by the adoption of this
article and the agreement between the System and the City of Lebanon
shall be made by the City in accordance with the Pennsylvania Municipal
Retirement Law and Act 205 of 1984, the Municipal Pension Plan Funding
Standard and Recovery Act.
[Ord. 36-2004, 05 § 5, passed 4-25-2005]
As part of this article, the City agrees that the System shall
provide the benefits set forth in the agreement between the Board
and the City of Lebanon, dated April 25, 2005. The passage and adoption
of this article by the City of Lebanon is an official acceptance of
said agreement and the financial obligations resulting from the administration
of said benefit package. The City of Lebanon hereby assumes all liability
for any unfundedness created or which may be created due to the acceptance
of the benefit structure outlined in the above-referenced agreement.
[Ord. 36-2004, 05 § 6, passed 4-25-2005]
The City of Lebanon intends this article to be the complete
authorization of the City's plan and it shall become effective
and specifically repeals the ordinance dated July 26, 2004, either
immediately or on March 1, 2005, which is the effective date of the
amended Agreement April 25, 2005, between the Pennsylvania Municipal
Retirement System and the City of Lebanon, whichever is later.
[Ord. 36-2004, 05 § 7, passed 4-25-2005]
A duly certified copy of this article and the referenced agreement
shall be filed with the Pennsylvania Municipal Retirement System of
the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Membership for the municipal employees
of the City of Lebanon in the Pennsylvania Municipal Retirement System
shall be effective the first day of February 1964, with the revised
plan structure reflected in the agreement dated April 25, 2005, effective
the first day of March, 2005.
