Title
A substitute charter ordinance amending the global pension settlement to make a technical correction relating to MPSO eligibility.
Sections
36-04-1-c am
Analysis
Charter ordinance file no. 000792 amended charter ordinance file no. 991585 relating to the global pension settlement. Part 3 of file no. 991585 was amended to add police and fire management to those eligible for military service credit. Unfortunately the placement of the new language reduced the eligibility period for the Milwaukee Police Supervisors Organization (MPSO). This amendment is a technical correction designed to place the new language so as not to reduce MPSO eligibility.
Body
The Mayor and Common Council of the City of Milwaukee do ordain as follows:
Part 1. Part 3 of common council file no. 991585, as amended by file no. 000792, is further amended to read:
36-04. Creditable Service. 1. SERVICE CREDITED. c. The board shall allow one year of creditable service for each 3 years of active military service prior to enrollment in the retirement system to policemen represented by the MPA and firemen represented by Local 215, IAFF, who participate in the combined fund and who retire on a service retirement allowance between January 1, 1998 and December 31, 2002, and policemen represented by the MPSO, [[non-represented fireman or policemen who participate in the combined fund and who retire on a service retirement allowance between January 1, 2000 and December 31, 2002 and]] >>,<< general city employes who participate in the combined fund and who retire on a service retirement allowance between January 1, 1999 and December 31, 2002 >>and non-represented fireman or policemen who participate in the combined fund and who retire on a service retirement allowance between January 1, 2000 and December 31, 2002<< . The creditable service awarded under this par. shall not exceed 3 years. To be eligible the member must be honorably discharged from the armed forces of the United States. To be eligible for inclusion in the calculation, a period of active military service must be a period of not less than 90 consecutive days spent in the active service of the armed forces of the United States and meet the requirements of 10 U.S.C. § 101(d)(1). If a member has accumulated less than 3 years of active military service, the member shall be allowed additional months of service credit on a pro rata basis calculated as the product of the full months of active military service under this par. multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is one and the denominator of which is 3. The additional service credit earned under this par. shall be taken into account for purposes of determining the amount of the service retirement allowance, but shall not be taken into account for any other purpose including, but not limited to determining eligibility for a service retirement allowance under s. 36-05-6-b-2 or 6-d-2, an early retirement allowance under s. 36-05-6-b-3 or 6-c, or eligibility for additional imputed service credit under sub. 4.
Part 2. This is a charter ordinance and shall take effect 60 days after its passage and publication, unless within such 60 days a referendum petition is filed as provided in s. 66.01(5), Wis. Stats., in which event this ordinance shall not take effect until submitted to a referendum and approved by a majority of the electors voting thereon.
