Clifton Heights council adopts Ordinance 892 changing pension participation rules
Summary
Council adopted Ordinance 892 to amend Chapter 33 of the Clifton Heights Borough Code to alter the service increment benefit and the time limit for participation in the deferred option retirement program, a change requested following review by the pension board/state reviewer.
The Clifton Heights Borough Council voted to adopt Ordinance 892, amending Chapter 33 of the borough code to revise the service increment benefit and the maximum participation time in the deferred option retirement program. The change was introduced by the manager and described as a contractual update requested by the pension board and a state reviewer.
Manager-led remarks explained that the ordinance is required to align borough code with the pension board’s and state reviewer’s recommendations. “I move to approve ordinance 892,” the manager said during the meeting; Miss W made the formal motion and Miss Ross seconded. The ordinance passed by voice vote.
Council did not record detailed debate in the meeting minutes about the substantive effect on individual pension beneficiaries; the adoption was framed in the meeting as an administrative/contractual compliance step prompted by the pension board and the state reviewer.
The ordinance will be incorporated into the borough code, and staff indicated paperwork from the pension board/state reviewer prompted the change. Council did not specify an effective date in the verbal record; staff follow‑up was implied.
