Title
An Ordinance to Amend Sections 1:552(14) and Section 1:572(b) of Chapter 18 (Employees Retirement System), Title I of the Code of the City of Ann Arbor to Implement Bargained Changes for Members of Teamsters Deputy Chiefs, Teamsters Local 214, and Teamsters Police Professional Assistants (Ordinance No. ORD-10-27)
Memorandum
The proposed amendments to the pension ordinance:
(a) implements a “Pick-Up” provision allowed by Internal Revenue Code 414(h) for Members represented by the Teamsters Deputy Chiefs Bargaining Unit, Local 214 Teamsters Civilian Supervisors, and Teamsters Police Professional Assistants. This “Pick-Up” provision is already applied to non-union employees.
(b) increases the employee contribution made by members of the Teamsters Police Deputy Chiefs Bargaining unit, Local 214 Teamsters Civilian Supervisors bargaining unit and the Teamsters Police Professional Assistants bargaining unit to the annuity savings fund of the Employees Retirement System effective August 1, 2010.
This increase is consistent with the current contribution level for fire fighter members represented by IAFF 693 and non-union employees and reflects the City Administrator’s budget recommendation approved by City Council on April 17, 2010 as part of the adopted budget for the fiscal year July 1, 2010 - June 30, 2011.
These amendments are being submitted for first reading pending the ratification of the collective bargaining agreements for the specified collective bargaining units which are scheduled to take place over the next two weeks. If the collective bargaining agreements are not ratified by the specified collective bargaining units before the second reading scheduled for July 19, 2010, these amendments will be withdrawn.
