~~ ~ ~ RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that:
1. The City Council approve increased pension benefits (equivalent to those
Retirement Fund benefits approved by the City Council for Fund retirees
-_- " " on September 25, 1990) for Mrs. Anna Sistrunk and Mrs. Millie Cleveland,
effective October 1, 1990. Total annual cost for the pensions is
$13,500.24; the difference between current and the proposed pensions is
$10,956.66; and
2. The City Council adopt the attached supplemental appropriation ordinance
appropriating $5,143.00 from the unappropriated, undesignated General
Fund Balance and increasing the appropriation in the General Fund,
Voluntary Payments account by $5,143.00 to provide for increased pension
payments to Mrs. Millie Cleveland.
Prior to implementation of the current CFW Retirement Plan, City employees
were retired under a "Pay As You Go" type retirement program. Under this
type of plan, when an employee retired, the department budgeted his/her
pension in its annual budget and processed the monthly pension check as if
the employee were still on its personnel roll. Pension amounts were very
small because of the type of plan and the amount of annual earnings received
at that time. There are only two remaining spouses under this plan.
The remaining surviving spouses are Mrs. Anna Sistrunk and Mrs. Millie
Cleveland. Mrs. Sistrunk's husband was Mr. Earl C. Sistrunk of the Water
Department who retired June 3, 1952, with 25 years and 5 months of service.
Mr. Sistrunk died after retirement, and Mrs. Sistrunk now receives $36.13
bi-weekly as her widow's pension ($939.38 annually). Mrs. Sistrunk was born
July 17, 1896, and i s now 94 years old. Under the newly revised retirement
plan, Mr. Sistrunk's service time would provide Mrs. Sistrunk with $562.50 a
month widow's pension, $259.62 bi-weekly or $6,750.12 annually.
Mrs. Cleveland's husband was Detective Henry E. Cleveland of the Police
Department who was killed in the line of duty February 7, 1952. At that
time, he had 25 years and 4 months of service. Mrs. Cleveland currently
receives $61.70 bi-weekly as her widow's pension or $1,604.20 annually. Mrs.
C1 evel and was born Apri 1 9, 1907, and i s now 83 years old. Under the newly
revised retirement plan, Mr. Cleveland's service time would provide Mrs.
Cleveland with $562.50 a month widow's pension, $259.62 bi-weekly or
$6,750.12 annually.
Mrs. Cleveland's pension is paid from the General Fund Non-Departmental
account, Voluntary Payments. Upon adoption of the attached supplemental
