Council approves PERA Police Officer blanket declaration for part-time officers
Summary
Council adopted Resolution No. 25-11-12-37 declaring that part-time law enforcement positions meet Minnesota Statutes 353.64, Subd. 2 requirements and directing staff to provide a copy to PERA when coverage is granted.
The council reviewed a resolution referencing Minnesota Statutes 353.64, Subdivision 2, and approved Resolution No. 25-11-12-37 declaring that the part-time law enforcement position satisfies the statutory requirements to be covered under the Public Employees Retirement Association (Police & Fire plan). The resolution requires the city to provide a copy to PERA each time membership is provided to a person hired into such a part-time position.
Council Member Krueger moved to approve the resolution; the motion was seconded by Council Member Gripne and passed unanimously. The resolution details the statutory requirements (licensure by the Peace Officer Standards and Training board, primary duty enforcement of criminal laws, arrest powers, assignment to a designated police department) that the city affirms the part-time position meets.
