Title
A substitute charter ordinance relating to military service credit under the employes' retirement system.
Sections

Analysis
The global pension settlement allows employes who retired prior to December 31, 2002, one year of creditable year of service for each 3 years of active military service prior to enrollment in the retirement system to a maximum of 3 years of creditable service.
