Title
An Ordinance to Amend Sections 1:552(14) and 1:572(b) of Chapter 18, Title I of the Code of the City of Ann Arbor to Implement a “Pick-Up” Provision Allowed by Internal Revenue Code 414(h) for Non -Union Employees of the City of Ann Arbor (Ordinance No. ORD-09-34)
Memorandum
Human Resources Services recommends approval of amendment of the pension ordinance. The amendments to the pension ordinance implement a pick up feature as permitted by the Internal Revenue Code.

This pick up feature will convert the current post-tax 5% pension contribution made by non-union employees to a 5% pre-tax contribution. There will be no impact to the pension fund, but it will result in a greater net pay for non-union employees. The amendment becomes effective with the first pay period of 2010. It applies only to non-union employees of the City.
