(1966 Code, sec. 2-100; 2001 Code, sec. 2-817; Ordinance 38-2025 adopted 7/15/2025)
Retirement for police and fire civil service employees shall be on the last day of the month following the month in which the employee reaches 65 years of age. In the police and fire service, there is factual basis for believing that substantially all employees above the age of 65 years would be unable to perform safely and efficiently the duties of their particular jobs; thus, retirement at age 65 years is a bona fide occupational qualification for these employees.
