WE HAVE CONSIDERED THE STATE PLAN AND OTHER FORMS OF PENSIONS AND WE ARE OF THE OPINION THAT THE TYPE OF PLAN WHICH THE CITY NOW HAS AND HAS HAD FOR MANY YEARS IS THE BEST ANO MOST ECONOMICAL FOR BOTH THE EMPLOYEE AND THE CITY. IT IS TO BE NOTED THAT THE EMPLOYEE DOES NOT CONTRIBUTE TO THE FUND NOR DOES HE RECEIVE ANY BENEFITS UNLESS HE REMAINS WITH THE CITY UNTIL HE REACHES RETIREMENT AGE AS STATED IN THE GENERAL STATEMENT OF POLICY. WE BELIEVE THAT AN ORDINANCE AND DECLARATION OF POLICY SHOULD BE ADOPTED IN ORDER TO ASSURE THE EMPLOYEE THAT A SOUND ANO "LASTING" RETIREMENT PLAN EXISTS AND THAT A FUND SHOULD BE ESTABLISHED FOR THIS PURPOSE. ACCORDINGLY, (1) WE RECOMMEND THAT THE ATTACHED ORDINANCE AND GENERAL STATEMENT OF POLICY BE ADOPTED AND SPREAD IN THE ORDINANCE BOOK AND THAT COPIES BE PRINTED AND DISTRIBUTED TO EACH OF THE CITY EMPLOYEES. (2) WE RECOMMEND THAT AN AMOUNT EQUIVALENT TO 2°~ OF ALL PAYROLLS AND WAGES APPROXIMATELY 20,000.00 AT THE PRESENT TIM E BE BUDGETED EACH YEAR TO PAY THE BENEFITS AS SET OUT IN THE PLAN AND TO ESTABLISH A FUND. ANY BALANCE LEFT AFTER ACTUAL PAYMENTS TO THE RETIRED WORKERS SHOULD 8E PLACED IN A SPECIAL FUND AND HELD FOR FUTURE NEEDS. DEPOSITS TO THIS SPECIAL FUND SHOULD BE CONTINUED UNTIL THE SAME HAS REACHED THE SUM OF ~IOO,000.OO. (3) THIS SPECIAL FUND SHOULD BE TURNED OVER TO THE SINKING FUND COMMISSION AND SHOULD BE HANDLED AND INVESTED BY THEM. (4) IT IS ESTIMATED THAT THERE WILL BE APPROXIMATELY X120,000.00 LEFT _ _.. _ n _ .... . .. _ r... .., n.. ...... .. ..
