Our client has directed that we provide an overview of the enclosed proposed ordinance amendment to be considered by the City Commission. The Board of Trustees of the Pension Plan recommends adoption of this proposed ordinance amendment to the existing code in order to comply with Chapter 185 of the Florida Statutes. Florida Law 2004 -21 specifically amended Section 185.05 of the Florida Statutes allowing municipalities that receive state contributions under Chapter 185 of the Florida Statutes to authorize trustees of the city's pension plan, when authorized by a participant, to make deductions from monthly retirement payments and make direct payments to certain third parties. The City of South Miami receives such state contribution under Chapter 185. The following summarizes the necessary amendment to the existing code in order to provide such authority to the Board of Trustees for the City of South Miami Pension Plan. Section 16 -24. Limitations generally. (e) Alienation of proceeds, levy, etc; prohibited. This section of the code prohibits participants from assigning or alienating any payments of pension benefits. 4' The proposed amendment would allow a participant to authorize the board of trustees, withhold amounts from any monthly benefit payment and to pay directly to certain third parties necessary amounts to pay for benefits being received through the city or the certified bargaining agent and to make payments for child support or alimony. This amendment allows for direct payment of continued group insurance provided by the city that the city is required under Section 112.0801 to offer to all retirees. 112.0801 Group insurance; participation by retired employees. -Any state agency, county, municipality, special district, community college, or district school board which provides life, health, accident, hospitalization, or annuity insurance, or all of any kinds of such insurance, for its officers and employees and their dependents upon a group insurance plan or self - insurance plan shall allow all former personnel who have retired prior to October 1, 1987, as well as those who retire on or after such date, and their eligible dependents, the option of continuing to participate in such group insurance plan or self - insurance plan. Retirees and their eligible dependents shall be offered the same health and hospitalization insurance coverage as is offered to active employees at a premium cost of no more than the premium cost applicable to active employees. For the retired employees and their eligible dependents, the cost of any such continued participation in any type of plan or any of the cost thereof may be paid by the employer or by the retired employees. To determine health and hospitalization plan costs, the employer shall commingle the claims experience of the retiree group with the claims experience of the active employees; and, for other types of coverage, the employer may commingle the claims experience of the retiree group with the claims experience of active employees. Retirees covered under Medicare may be experience -rated separately fi°om the retirees not covered by Medicare and from active employees, provided that the total premium does not exceed that of the active group and coverage is basically the same as for the active group. This amendment also allows for direct payment for child support of alimony, as required by an appropriate court order, under the Alvarez case, 580 So.2d 1st DCA (Fla. 1991), which makes the Retirement System subject to income deduction orders and provides the only exception to the non - alienation provisions as set forth in Board of Trustees of the City General Employees Pension Plan, City of Jacksonville v. Vizcaino, 653 So.2d 1012 (Fla. 1 st DCA 1994), in which the Court held: However, the QDRO exception to the prohibition against assignment or alienation of pension benefits is of no assistance to Anna because, as the parties correctly recognize, "governmental plans " (defined as including plans established or maintained by a political subdivision of a state) are expressly excluded from ERISA coverage. 29 U S. C. Secs. 1003(b) (1) & 1002(32). Therefore, the board believes that enactment of this amendment should reduce administrative activities in relation to third party payments and improve efficiency in delivering pension benefits to retirees of the pension plan. The Pension Plan actuary has provided a statement of no impact for your consideration prior to final reading and enactment of this ordinance amendment. We remain available to respond to any questions you may have on this matter. Yours truly, KENNETH R. HARRISON, SR. cc: Board of Trustees, c/o Benefits USA Larry Wilson, Actuary, Gabriel, Roeder, Smith & Co. (_U O IV.Lu_!_ VICE OF A COPY OF THIS NO- TICE ON THEM.
