[HISTORY: Adopted by the Borough Council of the Borough of Churchill 1-18-1991
by Ord. No. 627. Amendments noted where applicable.]
Pursuant to applicable provisions of the statutes of the United States
of America and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, the Borough of Churchill,
Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, hereby establishes the Borough of Churchill
Welfare Benefit Plan[1] to be funded through current donations and other contributions.
[1]
Editor's Note: The Trust Agreement and Summary Plan Description
are on file in the borough offices.
This Welfare Benefit Plan shall be under the direction and supervision
of the Council of the Borough of Churchill and shall be operated under such
regulations of the Council of the Borough of Churchill as the Council of the
Borough of Churchill may, by ordinance or resolution, prescribe for the benefit
of those who retire as regular, full-time, salaried members under the normal
retirement provisions of the Police Department of the Borough of Churchill
and all other employees of the borough retiring under the normal retirement
provisions of the borough.
The Borough of Churchill hereby directs and accepts the transfer of
inadvertent contributions from the Police Pension Plan of the Borough of Churchill
as authorized by Ordinance No. 614, as amended, under paragraphs 7C, 8(B)(1)
and 8(E) which provided for payments from the Borough of Churchill police
to provide for various benefits and which contributions now are directed to
the proper vehicle.
The moneys received by the plan through the transfer of contributions
shall be managed by the Borough of Churchill for retired former members of
its Police Department and other retired employees and shall exist so long
as there are funds to provide benefits as hereinafter set forth.
The Borough of Churchill shall pay to those officers and employees normally
retiring from service with the borough after the effective date of this plan
the sum of $150 monthly as an additional benefit over and above any other
benefits received under any other pension plan or borough contract. It is
the intent of this plan to fund an amount sufficient to allow retirees of
the Churchill Borough Police Pension Plan to pay for part of their medical
insurance premium costs from the date of their retirement until their eligibility
for Medicare and for such other purposes as may be deemed appropriate.
The proper officers of the Borough of Churchill are directed to establish
a bank account, with said account to be known as the "Borough of Churchill
Welfare Benefit Plan" account of the Borough of Churchill and to deposit in
said account all moneys received from the transfer of the inadvertent contributions
from the pension plan(s) as previously set forth and such other donations
and contributions as may be made, from time to time, and to administer the
same.
A.
The proper officers of the borough shall be permitted
to accept any additional donations as may be given by any member or former
member of the Churchill Borough Police Department or by the Borough of Churchill
or its employees, or other interested individuals.
The proper officers of the Borough of Churchill are hereby further authorized
to enter into any agreement with the Borough Police of Churchill Borough or
borough employees with regard to this Welfare Benefit Plan to the extent their
participation may hereinafter be necessary to effectuate any term, condition
or requirement.
The Borough of Churchill Welfare Benefit Plan shall be effective
as of January 1, 1991, and is to apply to only those members or employees
retiring after said date.
