Title
A charter ordinance relating to eligibility to make a selection of a protective survivorship retirement option.
Sections
36-05-7-b-4-a am
Analysis
This charter ordinance is a technical correction to the chapter 36 provision on protective survivorship retirement options. When ch. 36 of the charter was amended pursuant to the global pension settlement, s. 36-05-7-b-4-a should have been amended so that when firefighters became eligible to retire at age 49 or older, with 22 years of creditable service, they are also able to elect a protective survivorship option at the time they become eligible for the service retirement allowance. This ordinance makes this revision.
