Retirements from the Employees Retirement System

Retirements from the Employees Retirement System (ERS)
Updated 4/4/2013

Information Sources

Retirements are announced in the board meeting minutes, but FAC (final average compensation), multiplier and pension are not provided. For those, I used the retiree's pension calculation sheet, which I obtained with a FOIA request at a cost of $5 each. Where retiree name is underscored, you can click it to see the pension calculation sheet. (Note: You won't see any more of these pension calculation sheets, or ever again find out a public employee's pension amount. Why? Read this.) The minutes for the most recent board meeting can sometimes be found on the city clerk's website, but most of them I had to get through a FOIA request. You'd think they'd all be available online, but you'd be wrong. Salary was calculated by multiplying the 2010 hourly wage by 2080. Where there is no salary, the employee was not on the 2010 employee list.

	FD = from deferred; left some time ago, but finally reached age when, combined with service total, qualified employee for a pension .
	DD = duty disability.
	NDD = non-duty disability.
	DND = non-duty death.
	65 = 65 points. Can retire when sum of age and service = 65.
	65o = 65 points, old plan. Can retire when sum of age and service = 65.
	RI = Retirement Incentive Program. So far, all I know about this is what it says in the 3/18/2010 ERS Board minutes: Finance Director Jerry Ambrose says "The program was cost neutral and aimed at employees who were either already eligible to retire or close to retirement. [He] outlined the provisions of the incentive: no health care premium share, purchase of service credits, buy-back of furlough days."
