the terms of two such members shall expire on even-numbered years
and the terms of one such member shall expire on odd-numbered years.
Thus, the second term for one such member shall be for three years.

by the total amount of retirement annuities and benefits paid for
all annuitants and benefit recipients since the date of aggregation.
The value of the participation for each year subsequent to the initial

respect to that plan during the year and reduced by the amount of
retirement annuities and benefits paid from the Pension Trust Fund
for annuitants and benefit recipients of that plan during the year,
bears to the total value of all participation in the Pension Trust
Fund as of the close of the preceding year plus the total contributions
received by the Pension Trust Fund during the year and reduced by
the total amount of retirement annuities and benefits paid for all
annuitants and benefit recipients during the year.
[Ord. 7554, adopted 3-14-2002]

[Ord. 7554, adopted 3-14-2002]

and applicable law.
