SUBJECT:
Amendment to Ordinance No. 1901, the General Employees Pension System,
providing for Employees who have reverted to part-time status and were
inadvertently continued as Members of the System
Administrative Recommendation:
The Administration recommends that the City Commission approve this Ordinance
on second reading after the public hearing for September 16, 1992.
Back~round:
There are four (4) employees currently on the membership roll of the General
Employees Pension System that were full time employees but whose status changed and
these employees are currently assigned to less than thirty hours of work per week. These
four employees should have been deleted from membership in the System when their status
changed from full to part time. This was not done and they have been carried as members
for several years. In order to not penalize these employees for a mistake that was beyond
their control, the attached Ordinance has been prepared. The administrative procedures
surrounding the proper placing of these employees in the respective pension systems or
Social Security have been reviewed and modified to insure that no such occurrence will
happen again. These four employees by name title and department are:
Rosa Eberhart Concession Attendant Parks & Recreation
John Ellsworth Concession Attendant Parks & Recreation
Darline Lewis Concession Attendant
Arturo Fernandez Recreation Leader II

Analysis:
There is no cost impact to the City for the inclusion of these employees as members
of the General Employees Pension System. As they have been carried as members for a
number of years, the City has been funding the system as a whole with these persons
already included. The pension to be paid to these employees is a minimal amount as the
average earnings of these employees is low due to their part time status.
Conclusion:
As there is no cost impact to the City for the inclusion of these employees and as
that the administrative procedures have been changed to prevent any reoccurrence of this
problem, the Ordinance is recommended for approval.
