Resolution Authorizing Summary Publication of Ordinance No. ORD-08-16 Amending Sections 1:552 and 1:569 of Chapter 18, Employees Retirement System, of Title I of the Code of the City of Ann Arbor - Duty Death Benefit
Memorandum
The attached resolution authorizes the summary publication of Ordinance No. ORD-08-16. The Ordinance amendment would base the payment of duty death benefits from the Retirement System on whether the employee’s death is considered a compensable death under the Worker’s Compensation Act regardless of whether or not worker’s compensation is actually paid. In addition the Ordinance would be amended to allow the deceased employee to be credited with a minimum of 25 years of service for the purpose of calculating the amount of benefit to be paid to his or her survivors.
The City Charter contains provisions to allow summary publications of ordinances that are in excess of 500 words in length. The purpose of this resolution is to lessen the City’s cost resulting from the required publication of the revisions to the City Code.
