ratification and execution of the Agreement.
Article 33 Retirement Benefits

be eligible to participate in the City's General Employees Pension Plan. All new employees hired
on or after October I, 2011 will join the ICMA-RC defined contribution (DC) 457 plan.

overtime pay, bonuses and any other forms of additional compensation outside otbase wages.
The benefit accrual rate is reduced to two and a quarter percent (2.25'170) per year for future

The current accrued benefits of General Employees are frozen and payable under the
current terms of the Plan at the currently defmed normal retirement date -the later of attainment of
age fifty-five (55) and completion of ten (10) years of credited service. Future benefit accruals,
including increases due to increases in FMC, will be payable at the proposed new normal
retirement date -the later of attainment of age sixty (60) and completion of ten (10) years of
credited service.
The supplemental benefit Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) for General Employees
(eligible retirees and beneficiaries) is eliminated for future benefit accruals, including increases in
the current accrued benefit due to increases in FMC. General employees will receive the
supplemental benefit on their current accrued benefit.
All new employees hired on or after October I, 2011 will join the ICMA-RC defined
contribution (DC) 457plan. City employees are NOT required to contribute to the DC 457,
however the City will match the employee's percentage of contribution up-to a maximum of seven
