It is the considered opinion of this body that the extension
of the social security system to employees and officers of the Borough
of Darby will be of great benefit not only to the employees of the
said Borough by providing that said employees and officers may participate
in the provisions of the old age and survivors insurance system, but
will also be of great benefit to the Borough of Darby by enabling
it to attract and retain in employment the best of personnel and thus
increase the efficiency of its government.
The 1951 Session of the General Assembly of the Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania, in regular session, enacted a statute, known as Act
No. 491,[1] which designated the Secretary of Labor and Industry of
the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to act as the state agency to implement
the coverage of all employees and officers under the said old age
and survivors insurance system. The Borough of Darby is hereby authorized
to execute and deliver to the state agency a plan or plans and agreement
required under Section 6 of the said enabling act[2] and the Social Security Act, to extend coverage to employees
and officers of the Borough of Darby and do all other necessary things
to effectuate coverage of employees and officers under the old age
and survivors insurance system.
The Secretary is hereby authorized to establish a system of
payroll deduction to be matched by payments by the Borough of Darby
to be made into the Contribution Fund of the Social Security Act through
the office of the state agency, and to make charges of this tax to
the fund or funds from which wage or salary payments are issued to
employees of the Borough of Darby. Such payments which are delinquent
shall bear interest at the rate of 1/2 of 1% per month until such
time as payments are made.
Appropriation is hereby made from the proper fund or funds of
the Borough of Darby in the necessary amount to pay into the Contribution
Fund as provided in Section 4 of the enabling act[1] and in accordance with the plan or plans and agreement.
Authority is given to the President and Secretary of the Council of
the Borough of Darby to enter into an agreement with the state agency,
which agreement shall be in accordance with Act No. 491[2] and with paragraph 218 of the Social Security Act. Such
plan and agreement shall provide that the participation of this Borough
of Darby shall commence as of January 1, 1951.
