How much was this contribution & Where did the money come from & how was it approved? <BR/><BR/>I would suppose Mr. Burris or Ms. Adams would have these number close by.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10887668.post-89010949456774799292009-01-28T09:19:00.000-06:002009-01-28T09:19:00.000-06:00Another great job of doing the research and asking...Another great job of doing the research and asking the right questions. My assumption has always been that the earnings from the investment of the Pension Fund assets would not be adequate to pay the benefits and expenses. This implies that if the Tier I Pension Plan is 100% funded that only Tier I participants would need to continue contributing and that the City would need to continue contributing until the last Tier I employee terminated. Then, the earnings and principle of the Pension Plan assets would be used to pay benefits until the last Tier I participant and their survivors died. If they live longer than the actuary predicts, the City would have to resume payments into the Pension Fund on a year to year basis until it is no longer necessary.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10887668.post-86909406311873457072009-01-27T23:13:00.000-06:002009-01-27T23:13:00.000-06:00Oh, geesh.Thank you to all you b'day well wishers....Oh, geesh.<BR/><BR/>Thank you to all you b'day well wishers.
