Title
A substitute charter ordinance relating to separation benefits from the employes’ retirement system.
Sections

Analysis
Current charter provisions provide that a member enrolled after December 31, 1970, who separates from service may withdraw his or her accumulated contributions if the member has completed 8 years of creditable service.

This charter amendment does not apply to a policeman enrolled between December 31, 1970, and June 30, 1983, or a fireman enrolled between December 31, 1970, and October 31, 1983.
