Title
A charter ordinance relating to the minimum retirement allowance.

If the retirement allowance would be less than $25 per month, the member would be paid a lump sum, which would be the actuarial equivalent of the allowance. Common council file number 001665, passed May 10, 2001, authorizes the annuity and pension board to increase the minimum service retirement allowance amount to reflect inflation or measuring the consumer price index (CPI). This charter ordinance authorizes the annuity and pension board to increase the minimum deferred retirement allowance amount and the minimum ordinary death benefit amount of $25 in the same manner.
