| | | | | | | | ANALYSIS
| This amendment to the City’s pension ordinance was prepared at the request of the sponsor, Mayor Gelber.
On February 10, 2021, as part of the City Commission’s annual performance evaluation of the City Clerk, the City Commission approved, among other terms and in lieu of a merit increase, an amendment to the employee benefits to be provided to the City Clerk. Specifically, the City Commission approved for the employee pension accrual factor for the City Clerk to be modified from three percent (3%) to four percent (4%), to provide the City Clerk with the same employee pension accrual factor afforded to the City Manager and City Attorney under the Miami Beach Employees’ Retirement Plan (the “Plan”).
The change to the employee pension accrual factor for the City Clerk requires an amendment to the implementing ordinance creating the Plan. The proposed amendment is attached hereto.
If approved on first reading, the Administration will prepare the required actuarial statement, to be included as part of the agenda materials for second reading. |
