Bill 2020-529
Summary of 2020-529 (Six-Month Window for Normal or Early Retirement):
1. Creates new Code Sec. 120.216 providing for a 2021 Limited Retirement Option
• Age 55 with 10 years of credited service (reduced from age 55 with 20 years)
• Age 60 with 5 years of credited service (reduced from age 65 with 5 years)
• Any age with 20 years of credited service, but less than 30 years of credited service,
with a reduced accrual rate of 2% (reduced from 25 years of service at any age)
2. Police and Fire Pension Fund, Correctional Officer Retirement Plan, and JEA
employees are not eligible for this early retirement window
3. Establishes a six month early retirement window from 4/1/21 – 9/30/21
4. Requires written or electronic notice of the retirement election and date of retirement
to the Board between 4/1/21 – 5/31/21
5. Employees retiring under this option may not come back under full time employment
with the City for one year and may not rejoin the DB plan if ever re-employed by the City
6. Allows employees eligible to retire under this option to convert to the Defined
Contribution (DC) plan at the actuarial present value of their DB pension
7. Provides for an exception to Code Sec. 106.108(c) which requires the affected
pension plan to be at least 90% actuarially funded at the time of approval of legislation
affecting pension benefits (approval of this exception requires 2/3 vote of Council)
Financial Impact/Discussion Points:
1. Based on the October 1, 2019 actuarial valuation, there are 491 participants eligible
for early retirement under the proposed options
2. The actuarial impact statement shows an increase in the Unfunded Actuarial Accrued
Liability (UAAL):
• $28,740,961 based on 100% take rate
• $14,370,481 based on 50% take rate
• $7,185,240 based on 25% take rate
3. The actuarial impact statement shows an increase in the annual Employer
Contribution:
• $648,913 based on a 100% take rate
• $324,457 based on a 50% take rate
• $162,228 based on a 25% take rate
4. The legislation does not reduce the authorized employee cap. The City would incur
an increase in the employer contribution to the DC plan (12%) should the positions be
filled. If the positions are filled, the employer’s DC contribution would increase by:
• $2,847,574 based on a 100% take rate
• $1,423,787 based on a 50% take rate
• $711,894 based on a 25% take rate
5. The total financial impact of bullets #3 and #4 above is equal to:
• $3,496,487 based on a 100% take rate
• $1,748,244 based on a 50% take rate
• $874,122 based on a 25% take rate
