FROM: to/aldH. Warshaw REFERENCES: City Manager ENCLOSURES: RECOMMENDATION 12 JAN 1 5 19999 FILE : FIPO Pension Ordinance Amendments It is recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached emergency ordinance amending Article IV of Chapter 40, entitled "Pension and Retirement Plan, Division 2. City of Miami Firefighters' and Police Officers' Retirement Trust. BACKGROUND The emergency ordinance incorporates into the City's Pension Ordinance the terms and conditions that were negotiated by and between the City of Miami and the Fraternal Order of Police (FOP), Lodge No. 20, and the International Association of Firefighter's (IAFF), Local 587. Additionally, the FIPO Pension Board has requested to replace the current investment requirements with investment language recognizing the prudent person rule which codifies the standards that the FIPO Pension Board has been applying and gives the Board the opportunity to take advantage of any investment vehicles that are deemed appropriate under Florida state statutes. The agreed upon changes provide for the following: an increase in the pension multiplier from 2.75% to 3% for the first 15 years of service for FOP members and 3.5% for years of service in excess of 15 years for both FOP and IAFF members; a cap on the employee's retirement allowance of 100% if such percentage has not already been met; a change of the eligibility rule of 70 to a rule of 64 for IAFF members; a reduction in the employee's contribution rate to 7% effective October, 1999, and in future years an employee contribution of 7% or equal to the City's contribution, whichever is less; and the establishment of a FORWARD DROP and a BACDROP for FOP members and a BACDROP for IAFF members. Additionally, the parties have agreed that the investment return assumption will be net of any investment expense assumption, which was previously a cost to the City. NATURE OF EMERGENCY The emergency ordinance is necessary to effect the benefit provisions for those police and fire employees desirous of immediate retirement.
