Resolution offered by King seconded by Jeska, Supporting the coordination of PERA and OASDi, and opposing cer'~-ain legislation amending provisions of the PERA Law. ~.'E{EREAS, the Public Employees Retirement Association program fails to ack- nowledge and provide for n]obility in employment, which mobility it a major characteristic of contemporary society, and therefore, 'the retirement pro- gram operates against 'the recruit~]ent of qualified personnel in'~-o the field of local government in the State of ~t~nnesota; and.. WHEREAS, the coordination of PERA with the Social Security Program would permit mobility in employment without the loss of retirement credits earned while in municipal employ, and further adequate death and disability pro- visions to protect the family of the municipal employee; and 97HEREAS, since the benefit payments under the Social Security pro,ram are not fully funded by employee and employer contributions, and-this deficit is made up through general taxation, the municipal employee is forced to con- tribute to th~ maintenance of a program from which he derives no benefi'~-;and W~rE. REAS, experience with other retirement funds, with excessive deficits in- dicates that,when such funds were coordinated with OASDI, the deficits were substantially reduced over time; and ~,7~EREAS, both the L~ague of Minnesota Municipalities and the Hennepin County League of Municipalities have adopted resolutions calling for the coordin- ation of PERA with OASDI; and W~REAS, the inclusion of an option fea'~-ure in such legislation which would permit current employees to select the retirement program most beneficial to the individual would meet the dictates of equity constantly sought by govern- ment: NOW, 5%%q~REFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by -the City Council of the City of Col~u~bia Heights as follows: 1.

For the reasons set out above, the City Council opposes any legislation which would perpetuate the present philosophy and program of the Public Employees Retirement Association, especially the proposal embodied in House File 187 which would remove 'the limitation on individual salary deductions, and the representatives of the citizens of Columbia Heights are urged to oppose and work for the defeat of such proposals. 3,'. The Clerk is. herewith inseructed to distribute copies of this resolution to the Governor of 'the Sta3ce~of 'Minnesota, represen'~atives of th'e above Distr~icts and members of the legisl~ative committees concerned.
