BILL NUMBER:S5697
Title of bill
An act authorizing Bradley M. Fuerst to participate in the optional 20 year retirement plan for police officers in the village of Bath
Purpose
To authorize the Village of Bath, to offer and make available, participation in Section 384-d of the retirement and social security law to police officer Bradley M. Fuerst who is currently employed by the village of Bath.
Summary of provisions
Section one authorizes the Village of Bath to offer the optional 20 year retirement plan, established pursuant to section 384-d and of the retirement and social security law, to police officer Bradley M. Fuerst, who for reasons not ascribable to his own negligence failed to make a timely application to participate in such optional 20 year retirement plan. The Village may so elect by filing with the Comptroller by December 31, 2015, a resolution of the Village Board of Trustees together with a certification that such police officer did not bar himself from participation in such plan as a result of negligence.
Section two requires that all past service costs associated with implementing this provision be borne by the Village of Bath.
Section three provides that this act shall take effect immediately.
Justification
Police Officer Bradley M. Fuerst was hired by the Village of Bath on March 22, 2011, and who through no fault of his own failed to make timely application to participate in the special retirement plan contained in section 384-d and of the retirement and social security plan contained in crediting his service with the village of Bath in the general retirement contained in section 375-e of such law thereby entering him into the wrong retirement plan. The village of Bath has requested this legislation authorizing them to offer an optional 20 year retirement plan to Police Officer Bradley M. Fuerst. All costs associated with implementing this provision shall be borne by the Village.
