RELATING THERETO.
WHEREAS, the City Council of Clermont has several employees
who have faithfully served the City, have reached the age of retirement
because of advance age or health, and are deserving of retirement pay,
but no provision having been heretofore made, they will and should be
continued as employees on a pay basis based on their present income
and years of service; and,
WHEREAS, the Council also finds a number of employees have a
record of continued employment for over ten (10) years and the City will
be able, at prevailing wage scale, to retain the services of day laborers,
as well as office and field employees, if some provision is made for a
pension upon retirement at stated ages; and,
WHEREAS, the State of Florida has made provision for City Fire-
men's Relief and Pension Fund, and like provision has been made for
City Policemen under Chapters 175 and 185, respectively, Florida Statutes,
under which the City has heretofore enacted Ordinances to qualify its
Firemen and Policemen to a pension, but no provision has heretofore been
made for other employees, and the Council now finds it in the best interests
of the City of Clermont that all employees, including the Firemen and
Policemen, be under one Pension Plan;

In the event of such normal retirement the retiring employee shall be

month of retirement and continuing until death. The amount of annuity to
which a retiring employee will be entitled will be calculated as follows:

...
5.3 Delayed Retirement: An employee who does not desire to
retire on his normal retirement date may make written application to
the City Clerk or City Manager for retention in regular or part -time
employment subsequent to the time of normal retirement showing that
the same is in the best interests of the City by reason of his special
knowledge, relative efficiency, difficulty of replacement, or other
similar or extraordinary factors. Upon the reoommendation of the
City Clerk or City Manager, and approval by the Council, the employee
may be retained by the City for a period not to exceed one year following
his date of normal retirement. Nevertheless, similar additional applica-
tions for renewal of retention in employment, may be made under the
same procedure in each of four successive years, or until the employee
reaches age 70, whichever is earlier. In the event of such deferred
retirement, the employee, upon retirement, shall receive the same
amount of monthly retirement pension that he would have received had
he retired on his normal retirement date.
5.4 Retirement Prior to Normal Retirement Date: A general
employee who has twenty years of credited service and has attained his
60th birthday may make written application to the City Clerk or Manager
for early retirement. On recommendation of the City Clerk or City
Manager and approval by the Council, the employee may retire on the
first day of any month following, or coinciding with, his 60th birthday.
In such an event he shall be entitled to and shall be paid in annuity equal
in amount to the annuity computed on the basis of normal retirement,
except that the amount so computed shall be reduced by five-twelfths
(5j12ths) of one (1) per cent of said amount for each month that early
retirement preceeds his 65th birthday.
A Fireman or Policeman who has twenty years of credited service
and has attained his 55th birthday may make written application to the
City Clerk or City Manager for early retirement. On recommendation of
the City Clerk or City Manager and approval by the Council, the Fireman
or Policeman may retire on the first day of any month following, or coincid-
ing with, his 55th birthday. In such an event he shall be entitled to and
shall be paid an annuity equal in amount to the annuity computed on the basis
of normal retirement, except that the amount so computed shall be reduced
by five-twelfths (5j12ths) of one (1) per cent of said amount for each month
that early retirement preceeds his 60th birthday.
5.5 Termination of Service prior to Normal Retirement:
(a) Less than 20 years of credited service or less than age 55:
If a member of the Plan dies or ceases to be a permanent employee
prior to his normal retirement date and has less than 20 years of credited
service, or has not yet attained his 55th birthday, all rights of the employee
in the pension plan will terminate. In case of firemen and policemen the
50th birthday shall apply.
.
(b) 20 Years or more of credited service and aged 55 or more:
If any member of the Plan terminates employment with the City
prior to his normal retirement date and has completed 20 years or more of
(6)
..
credited service and has attained age 55 or greater (in case of Firemen
and Policemen age 50 or greater), the pension credit earned at termina-
tion will be fully credited to the employee. H e may, when he reaches
his normal retirement date, make written application to the City Clerk
or City Manager for the pension earned, and in such an event, he shall
be entitled to, and he shall be paid, an annuity computed on the same basis
as that of other employees who retire on their normal retirement date.
5.6 Death Before Retirement Date: The interest of an employee
who dies before his normal retirement date will cease and no death
benefit under the Plan will be paid to his estate or to his beneficiary.
5.7 Death After Retirement Date: If an employee dies after retire-
ment no additional payments will be made unless the contingent annuity
option has been selected in which case payments will be made in accordance
with the option.
5.8 Retirement Annuity Option: The member may elèct to receive
annuity benefits payable under the Plan with the approval of the Council
in the form of a joint and survivor annuity instead of the normal annuity
form, which shall be the actuarial equivalent of the annuity which he would
normally receive. Under the joint and survivor annuity, two-thirds of
the retirement annuity income èontinues to the surviving contingent
annuftant, until his or her death. The joint and survivor annuity election
must be requested by the employee at least three (3) years prior to date
of retirement, including retirement prior to normal retirement date, and
shall be subject to approval or disapproval by the Council at the time of
election.
The election of a joint and survivor annuity shall be deemed
to be automatically cancelled in the event of the death of either proposed
annuitant prior to the member's actual retirement.
5.9 Social Security Option: An employee who retires before he is
entitled to receive monthly benefits under the Social Security Act may elect
to have his retirement annuity payments increased before his Social Security
benefits begin, and decreased thereafter to obtain, inso far as practical,
a level total yearly retirement income from the two sources. The amounts
he will receive both before and after he becomes eligible for Social Security
Payments shall be the actuarial equivalent of the benefits to which he would have
been entitled had he not selected this option.
5.10 Member Records; Status Statements: A separate record of
account shall be maintained for each member, which, among other things,
shall show his service record, his exact age, any designation of alternate
or contingent beneficiaries, together with any such information as is

under this Plan as determined by the Council.
.

of any member or any beneficiary to any benefits under the plan or any
other right accrued or accruing to any persons under the provisions of this

operation of any bankruptcy or insolvency law or any other process of law
whatever, and shall not be subject to assignment, pledge or hypothecation
unless expressly authorized in this Ordinance.
5.12 Errors, Corrections and Adjustments: Should any change or
error in the records of the Plan be discovered, or any error in any calcula-
tion be made resulting in any member or beneficiary receiving from the
Plan more or less than he was entitled to receive, the Council shall have the
power to correct such error, and as far as possible to adjust the payments
thereafter to be made in such a manner that the actuarially equivalent of
the benefit to which such member or beneficiary was correctly entitled, be
paid.
5.13 No Interest in the Fund: No member, employee, beneficiary or
other persons shall have any interest in, or right in, or to the fund or any
part thereof, or any assets comprising of the same, except only as to the
extent expressed provided in this Ordinance.

or as often as a person entitled to payments hereunder shall be under legal
disability, or, in the sole judgment of the Council, shall otherwise be

of the benefits of such members payable in anyone or more of the following
ways:
