Pension Trustee Cover Memorandum
Trackinq Number: 1,292
Actual Date: 05/16/2005
Subiect / Recommendation:
Jeffrey Rawson, Police Department, be allowed to vest his pension under Section(s) 2.397 and
2.398 of the Employees' Pension Plan as approved by the Pension Advisory Committee.
Summary:
Jeffrey Rawson, Police Officer, Police Department, was employed by the City on March 25, 1991,
and began participating in the Pension Plan on that date. Mr. Rawson terminated from City
employment on March 25, 2005.
The Employees' Pension Plan provides that should an employee cease to be an employee of the
City of Clearwater after completing ten or more years of creditable service (pension
participation), such employee shall acquire a vested interest in the retirement benefits. Vested
pension payments commence on the first of the month following the month in which the
employee normally would have been eligible for retirement.
Section 2.393 also (p) provides for normal retirement eligibility when a participant has
completed twenty years of credited service in a type of employment described as "hazardous
duty" and further specifically defines service as a Police Officer as meeting the hazardous duty
criteria. Mr. Rawson would have completed 20 years of service on March 25, 2010. His pension
will be effective April 1, 2010. This pension was approved by the Pension Advisory Committee
on April 14, 2005.
