RESOLUTION NO. 83 -33
RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT INCENTIVE PROGRAM
WHEREAS, the City of Brooklyn Center has been subjected to the loss of
revenue from the State of Minnesota and other sources; and
WHEREAS, these revenue shortages have necessitated and will continue to
necessitate the City of Brooklyn Center to reduce its expenditures; and
WHEREAS, this reduction in expenditures will result in the loss of funding
for centain employment positions with the City of Brooklyn Center; and
WHEREAS, it is the policy of the Brooklyn Center City Council to accomplish
staff reductions, if possible, through attrition;
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL that the City of Brooklyn Center
establish an Employee Retirement Incentive Program with the following provisions:
1. Employees qualifying for this program must be eligible for
a full retirement annuity under PERA or PERA Police without
reduction of benefits because of age on the effective date of
their retirement. In addition, to be eligible for this program
an employee must have been employed by the City of Brooklyn Center
for the last five (5) consecutive years prior to July 1, 1983.
2. To enroll in this program qualified employees must submit a
letter of retirement effective on or before December 31, 1985.
These letters must be submitted to the City Manager before
July 1, 1983.
3. Qualified employees submitting their letters of retirement
should understand that once submitted their letter of
retirement is final.
4. Positions vacated by employees retiring under this program will
not be filled without prior City Council approval of the funds to
be expended on filling the vacancy.
5. Qualified participating employees will be entitled to receive
payment of an amount not to exceed $15,000 per employee
calculated by multiplying the number of months between the
date on which the employee retires and the employee's or
their spouses sixty -fifth (65) birthday (whichever is the greater)
times $125 rounded to the nearest full month. This payment is
intended to reflect the City's desire to allow the retiring
employee to maintain current levels of health insurance benefits
for themselves or their dependents.
