Historical Note
The original authority for a retirement system came from an amendment to the City Charter submitted to the voters at the Municipal election of March 8, 1927. By the mid-1950s, within certain limitations, all officers and employees of the City were able to have membership in the Retirement System. Exceptions were the uniformed members of the police and fire departments who were under relief and pensions systems prescribed by State law. Beginning in 1956, the Retirement System was coordinated with Federal Social Security through Ordinances 84510 and 84566.
