12 | Sec. 1-160. Provisions applicable to new hires. | ||||||
13 | (a) The provisions of this Section apply to a person who, | ||||||
14 | on or after January 1, 2011, first becomes a member or a | ||||||
15 | participant under any reciprocal retirement system or pension | ||||||
16 | fund established under this Code, other than a retirement |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | system or pension fund established under Article 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, | ||||||
2 | 15 or 18 of this Code, notwithstanding any other provision of | ||||||
3 | this Code to the contrary, but do not apply to any self-managed | ||||||
4 | plan established under this Code, to any person with respect to | ||||||
5 | service as a sheriff's law enforcement employee under Article | ||||||
6 | 7, or to any participant of the retirement plan established | ||||||
7 | under Section 22-101. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary | ||||||
8 | in this Section, for purposes of this Section, a person who | ||||||
9 | participated in a retirement system under Article 15 prior to | ||||||
10 | January 1, 2011 shall be deemed a person who first became a | ||||||
11 | member or participant prior to January 1, 2011 under any | ||||||
12 | retirement system or pension fund subject to this Section. The | ||||||
13 | changes made to this Section by Public Act 98-596 this | ||||||
14 | amendatory Act of the 98th General Assembly are a clarification | ||||||
15 | of existing law and are intended to be retroactive to January | ||||||
16 | 1, 2011 ( the effective date of Public Act 96-889 ) , | ||||||
17 | notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1-103.1 of this Code. | ||||||

22 | consecutive years) of service within the last 120 months (or 10 | ||||||
23 | years) of service in which the total salary or earnings | ||||||
24 | calculated under the applicable Article was the highest by the | ||||||
25 | number of months (or years) of service in that period. For the | ||||||
26 | purposes of a person who first becomes a member or participant |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | of any retirement system or pension fund to which this Section | ||||||
2 | applies on or after January 1, 2011, in this Code, "final | ||||||
3 | average salary" shall be substituted for the following: | ||||||
4 | (1) In Article 7 (except for service as sheriff's law | ||||||
5 | enforcement employees), "final rate of earnings". | ||||||
6 | (2) In Articles 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12, "highest average | ||||||

8 | 10 years of service immediately preceding the date of | ||||||
9 | withdrawal". | ||||||
10 | (3) In Article 13, "average final salary". | ||||||
11 | (4) In Article 14, "final average compensation". | ||||||
12 | (5) In Article 17, "average salary". | ||||||

16 | this Code (including without limitation the calculation of | ||||||
17 | benefits and employee contributions), the annual earnings, | ||||||
18 | salary, or wages (based on the plan year) of a member or | ||||||
19 | participant to whom this Section applies shall not exceed | ||||||
20 | $106,800; however, that amount shall annually thereafter be | ||||||
21 | increased by the lesser of (i) 3% of that amount, including all | ||||||
22 | previous adjustments, or (ii) one-half the annual unadjusted | ||||||
23 | percentage increase (but not less than zero) in the consumer | ||||||
24 | price index-u
for the 12 months ending with the September | ||||||
25 | preceding each November 1, including all previous adjustments. | ||||||
26 | For the purposes of this Section, "consumer price index-u" |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | means
the index published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of | ||||||
2 | the United States
Department of Labor that measures the average | ||||||

7 | of Insurance and made available to the boards of the retirement | ||||||
8 | systems and pension funds by November 1 of each year. | ||||||

17 | 12 of this Code that is subject to this Section) and has at | ||||||
18 | least 10 years of service credit and is otherwise eligible | ||||||
19 | under the requirements of the applicable Article may elect to | ||||||

21 | of this Section. | ||||||
22 | (c-5) A person who first becomes a member or a participant | ||||||
23 | under Article 8 or Article 11 of this Code on or after the | ||||||
24 | effective date of this amendatory Act of the 99th General | ||||||

24 | on or after the attainment of age 67 (beginning January 1, | ||||||
25 | 2015, age 65 with respect to service under Article 12 of this | ||||||
26 | Code that is subject to this Section and beginning on the |

9 | election under item (i) of subsection (d-10) of this Section ) | ||||||
10 | or the first anniversary of the annuity start date, whichever | ||||||

12 | one-half the annual unadjusted percentage increase (but not | ||||||
13 | less than zero) in the consumer price index-u for the 12 months | ||||||
14 | ending with the September preceding each November 1, whichever | ||||||
15 | is less, of the originally granted retirement annuity. If the | ||||||
16 | annual unadjusted percentage change in the consumer price | ||||||
17 | index-u for the 12 months ending with the September preceding | ||||||
18 | each November 1 is zero or there is a decrease, then the | ||||||
19 | annuity shall not be increased. | ||||||
20 | Notwithstanding Section 1-103.1 of this Code, the changes | ||||||
21 | made to this Section by this amendatory Act of the 99th General | ||||||
22 | Assembly are applicable without regard to whether the employee | ||||||

2 | after January 1, 2011 shall be in the amount of 66 2/3% of the | ||||||
3 | retired member's or participant's retirement annuity at the | ||||||
4 | date of death. In the case of the death of a member or | ||||||
5 | participant who has not retired and who first became a member | ||||||
6 | or participant on or after January 1, 2011, eligibility for a | ||||||
7 | survivor's or widow's annuity shall be determined by the | ||||||
8 | applicable Article of this Code. The initial benefit shall be | ||||||
9 | 66 2/3% of the earned annuity without a reduction due to age. A | ||||||
10 | child's annuity of an otherwise eligible child shall be in the | ||||||
11 | amount prescribed under each Article if applicable. Any | ||||||
12 | survivor's or widow's annuity shall be increased (1) on each | ||||||
13 | January 1 occurring on or after the commencement of the annuity | ||||||
14 | if
the deceased member died while receiving a retirement | ||||||
15 | annuity or (2) in
other cases, on each January 1 occurring | ||||||
16 | after the first anniversary
of the commencement of the annuity. | ||||||
17 | Each annual increase shall be calculated at 3% or one-half the | ||||||
18 | annual unadjusted percentage increase (but not less than zero) | ||||||
19 | in the consumer price index-u for the 12 months ending with the | ||||||
20 | September preceding each November 1, whichever is less, of the | ||||||
21 | originally granted survivor's annuity. If the annual | ||||||
22 | unadjusted percentage change in the consumer price index-u for | ||||||
23 | the 12 months ending with the September preceding each November | ||||||
24 | 1 is zero or there is a decrease, then the annuity shall not be | ||||||
25 | increased. | ||||||
26 | (g) The benefits in Section 14-110 apply only if the person |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | is a State policeman, a fire fighter in the fire protection | ||||||
2 | service of a department, or a security employee of the | ||||||
3 | Department of Corrections or the Department of Juvenile | ||||||
4 | Justice, as those terms are defined in subsection (b) of | ||||||
5 | Section 14-110. A person who meets the requirements of this | ||||||
6 | Section is entitled to an annuity calculated under the | ||||||
7 | provisions of Section 14-110, in lieu of the regular or minimum | ||||||
8 | retirement annuity, only if the person has withdrawn from | ||||||
9 | service with not less than 20
years of eligible creditable | ||||||
10 | service and has attained age 60, regardless of whether
the | ||||||
11 | attainment of age 60 occurs while the person is
still in | ||||||
12 | service. | ||||||
13 | (h) If a person who first becomes a member or a participant | ||||||
14 | of a retirement system or pension fund subject to this Section | ||||||
15 | on or after January 1, 2011 is receiving a retirement annuity | ||||||
16 | or retirement pension under that system or fund and becomes a | ||||||
17 | member or participant under any other system or fund created by | ||||||
18 | this Code and is employed on a full-time basis, except for | ||||||
19 | those members or participants exempted from the provisions of | ||||||
20 | this Section under subsection (a) of this Section, then the | ||||||
21 | person's retirement annuity or retirement pension under that | ||||||
22 | system or fund shall be suspended during that employment. Upon | ||||||
23 | termination of that employment, the person's retirement | ||||||
24 | annuity or retirement pension payments shall resume and be | ||||||
25 | recalculated if recalculation is provided for under the | ||||||
26 | applicable Article of this Code. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | If a person who first becomes a member of a retirement | ||||||
2 | system or pension fund subject to this Section on or after | ||||||
3 | January 1, 2012 and is receiving a retirement annuity or | ||||||
4 | retirement pension under that system or fund and accepts on a | ||||||
5 | contractual basis a position to provide services to a | ||||||
6 | governmental entity from which he or she has retired, then that | ||||||
7 | person's annuity or retirement pension earned as an active | ||||||
8 | employee of the employer shall be suspended during that | ||||||
9 | contractual service. A person receiving an annuity or | ||||||
10 | retirement pension under this Code shall notify the pension | ||||||
11 | fund or retirement system from which he or she is receiving an | ||||||
12 | annuity or retirement pension, as well as his or her | ||||||
13 | contractual employer, of his or her retirement status before | ||||||
14 | accepting contractual employment. A person who fails to submit | ||||||
15 | such notification shall be guilty of a Class A misdemeanor and | ||||||
16 | required to pay a fine of $1,000. Upon termination of that | ||||||
17 | contractual employment, the person's retirement annuity or | ||||||
18 | retirement pension payments shall resume and, if appropriate, | ||||||
19 | be recalculated under the applicable provisions of this Code. | ||||||
20 | (i) (Blank). | ||||||
21 | (j) In the case of a conflict between the provisions of | ||||||
22 | this Section and any other provision of this Code, the | ||||||
23 | provisions of this Section shall control.

of the city shall levy a tax annually upon all | ||||||
21 | taxable property in the city at
a rate that will produce a sum | ||||||
22 | which, when added to the amounts deducted from
the salaries of | ||||||
23 | the employees or otherwise contributed by them and the
amounts | ||||||
24 | deposited under subsection (f), will be sufficient for the
| ||||||
25 | requirements of this Article, but which when extended will |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | produce an amount
not to exceed the greater of the following: | ||||||
2 | (a) the sum obtained by the levy
of a tax of .1093% of the | ||||||
3 | value, as equalized or assessed by the Department
of Revenue, | ||||||
4 | of all taxable property within such city, or (b) the sum of
| ||||||
5 | $12,000,000.
However any city in which a Fund has been | ||||||
6 | established and in operation
under this Article for more than 3 | ||||||
7 | years prior to 1970 shall
levy for the year 1970 a tax at a rate | ||||||
8 | on the dollar of assessed
valuation of all taxable property | ||||||
9 | that will produce, when extended, an
amount not to exceed 1.2 | ||||||
10 | times the total amount of contributions made by
employees to | ||||||
11 | the Fund for annuity purposes in the calendar year 1968,
and, | ||||||
12 | for the year 1971 and 1972 such levy that will produce, when
| ||||||
13 | extended, an amount not to exceed 1.3 times the total amount of
| ||||||
14 | contributions made by employees to the Fund for annuity
| ||||||
15 | purposes in the calendar years 1969 and 1970, respectively; and | ||||||
16 | for the
year 1973 an amount not to exceed 1.365 times such | ||||||
17 | total amount of
contributions made by employees for annuity | ||||||
18 | purposes in the calendar
year 1971; and for the year 1974 an | ||||||
19 | amount not to exceed 1.430 times
such total amount of | ||||||
20 | contributions made by employees for annuity
purposes in the | ||||||
21 | calendar year 1972; and for the year 1975 an amount not
to | ||||||
22 | exceed 1.495 times such total amount of contributions made by
| ||||||
23 | employees for annuity purposes in the calendar year 1973; and | ||||||
24 | for the year 1976
an amount not to exceed 1.560 times such | ||||||
25 | total amount of contributions made by
employees for annuity | ||||||
26 | purposes in the calendar year 1974; and for the year 1977
an |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | amount not to exceed 1.625 times such total amount of | ||||||
2 | contributions made by
employees for annuity purposes in the | ||||||
3 | calendar year 1975; and for the year 1978
and each year | ||||||
4 | thereafter through levy year 2016 , such levy as will produce, | ||||||
5 | when
extended, an amount not to exceed the total amount of
| ||||||
6 | contributions made by or on behalf of employees to the Fund for | ||||||
7 | annuity
purposes in the calendar year 2 years prior to the year | ||||||
8 | for which the annual
applicable tax is levied, multiplied by | ||||||
9 | 1.690 for the years 1978 through 1998
and by 1.250 for the year | ||||||
10 | 1999 and for each year thereafter through levy year 2016. | ||||||
11 | Beginning in levy year 2017, and in each year thereafter, the | ||||||
12 | levy shall not exceed the amount of the city's total required | ||||||
13 | contribution to the Fund for the next payment year, as | ||||||
14 | determined under subsection (a-5). For the purposes of this | ||||||
15 | Section, the payment year is the year immediately following the | ||||||
16 | levy year .
| ||||||
17 | The tax shall be levied and collected in like manner with | ||||||
18 | the general
taxes of the city, and shall be exclusive of and in | ||||||
19 | addition to the
amount of tax the city is now or may hereafter | ||||||
20 | be authorized to levy for
general purposes under any laws which | ||||||
21 | may limit the amount of tax which
the city may levy for general | ||||||
22 | purposes. The county clerk of the county
in which the city is | ||||||
23 | located, in reducing tax levies under the
provisions of any Act | ||||||
24 | concerning the levy and extension of taxes, shall
not consider | ||||||
25 | the tax herein provided for as a part of the general tax
levy | ||||||
26 | for city purposes, and shall not include the same within any
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | limitation of the percent of the assessed valuation upon which | ||||||
2 | taxes are
required to be extended for such city.
| ||||||
3 | Revenues derived from such tax shall be paid to the city | ||||||
4 | treasurer of
the city as collected and held by the city | ||||||
5 | treasurer him for the benefit of the fund.
| ||||||
6 | If the payments on account of taxes are insufficient during | ||||||
7 | any year
to meet the requirements of this Article, the city may | ||||||
8 | issue tax
anticipation warrants against the current tax levy.
| ||||||
9 | The city may continue to use other lawfully available funds | ||||||
10 | in lieu of all or part of the levy, as provided under | ||||||
11 | subsection (f) of this Section. | ||||||
12 | (a-5) (1) Beginning in payment year 2018, the city's | ||||||
13 | required annual contribution to the Fund for payment years 2018 | ||||||
14 | through 2022 shall be: for 2018, $266,000,000; for 2019, | ||||||
15 | $344,000,000; for 2020, $421,000,000; for 2021, $499,000,000; | ||||||
16 | and for 2022, $576,000,000. | ||||||
17 | (2) For payment years 2023 through 2058, the city's | ||||||
18 | required annual contribution to the Fund shall be the amount | ||||||
19 | determined by the Fund to be equal to the sum of (i) the city's | ||||||
20 | portion of the projected normal cost for that fiscal year, plus | ||||||
21 | (ii) an amount determined on a level percentage of applicable | ||||||
22 | employee payroll basis (reflecting any limits on individual | ||||||
23 | participants' pay that apply for benefit and contribution | ||||||
24 | purposes under this plan) that is sufficient to bring the total | ||||||
25 | actuarial assets of the Fund up to 90% of the total actuarial | ||||||
26 | liabilities of the Fund by the end of 2058. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (3) For payment years after 2058, the city's required | ||||||
2 | annual contribution to
the Fund shall be equal to the amount, | ||||||
3 | if any, needed to bring the total actuarial assets of the Fund | ||||||
4 | up to 90% of the total actuarial liabilities of the Fund as of | ||||||
5 | the end of the year. In making the determinations under | ||||||
6 | paragraphs (2) and (3) of this subsection, the actuarial | ||||||
7 | calculations shall be determined under the entry age normal | ||||||
8 | actuarial cost method, and any actuarial gains or losses from | ||||||
9 | investment return incurred in a fiscal year shall be recognized | ||||||
10 | in equal annual amounts over the 5-year period following the | ||||||
11 | fiscal year. | ||||||
12 | To the extent that the city's contribution for any of the | ||||||
13 | payment years referenced in this subsection is made with | ||||||
14 | property taxes, those property taxes shall be levied, | ||||||
15 | collected, and paid to the Fund in a like manner with the | ||||||
16 | general taxes of the city. | ||||||
17 | (a-10) If the city fails to transmit to the Fund | ||||||
18 | contributions required of it under this Article by December 31 | ||||||
19 | of the year in which such contributions are due, the Fund may, | ||||||
20 | after giving notice to the city, certify to the State | ||||||
21 | Comptroller the amounts of the delinquent payments, and the | ||||||
22 | Comptroller must, beginning in payment year 2018, deduct and | ||||||
23 | deposit into the Fund the certified amounts or a portion of | ||||||
24 | those amounts from the following proportions of grants of State | ||||||
25 | funds to the city: | ||||||
26 | (1) in payment year 2018, one-third of the total amount |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | of any grants of State funds to the city; | ||||||
2 | (2) in payment year 2019, two-thirds of the total | ||||||
3 | amount of any grants of State funds to the city; and | ||||||
4 | (3) in payment year 2020 and each payment year | ||||||
5 | thereafter, the total amount of any grants of State funds | ||||||
6 | to the city. | ||||||
7 | The State Comptroller may not deduct from any grants of | ||||||
8 | State funds to the city more than the amount of delinquent | ||||||
9 | payments certified to the State Comptroller by the Fund. | ||||||
10 | (b) On or before July 1, 2017, and each July 1 thereafter | ||||||
11 | January 10, annually , the board shall certify to notify the
| ||||||
12 | city council the annual amounts required under of the | ||||||
13 | requirements of this Article , for which that the tax herein
| ||||||
14 | provided shall be levied for the following that current year. | ||||||
15 | The board shall compute
the amounts necessary to be credited to | ||||||
16 | the reserves established and
maintained as herein provided, and | ||||||
17 | shall make an annual determination of
the amount of the | ||||||
18 | required city contributions, and certify the results
thereof to | ||||||
19 | the city council.
| ||||||
20 | (c) In respect to employees of the city who are transferred | ||||||
21 | to the
employment of a park district by virtue of the "Exchange | ||||||
22 | of Functions
Act of 1957", the corporate authorities of the | ||||||
23 | park district shall
annually levy a tax upon all the taxable | ||||||
24 | property in the park district
at such rate per cent of the | ||||||
25 | value of such property, as equalized or
assessed by the | ||||||
26 | Department of Revenue, as shall be
sufficient, when added to |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the amounts deducted from their salaries and
otherwise | ||||||
2 | contributed by them to provide the benefits to which they and
| ||||||
3 | their dependents and beneficiaries are entitled under this | ||||||
4 | Article. The city
shall not levy a tax hereunder in respect to | ||||||
5 | such employees.
| ||||||
6 | The tax so levied by the park district shall be in addition | ||||||
7 | to and
exclusive of all other taxes authorized to be levied by | ||||||
8 | the park
district for corporate, annuity fund, or other | ||||||
9 | purposes. The county
clerk of the county in which the park | ||||||
10 | district is located, in reducing
any tax levied under the | ||||||
11 | provisions of any act concerning the levy and
extension of | ||||||
12 | taxes shall not consider such tax as part of the general
tax | ||||||
13 | levy for park purposes, and shall not include the same in any
| ||||||
14 | limitation of the per cent of the assessed valuation upon which | ||||||
15 | taxes
are required to be extended for the park district. The | ||||||
16 | proceeds of the
tax levied by the park district, upon receipt | ||||||
17 | by the district, shall be
immediately paid over to the city | ||||||
18 | treasurer of the city for the uses and
purposes of the fund.
| ||||||
19 | The various sums to be contributed by the city and park | ||||||
20 | district and
allocated for the purposes of this Article, and | ||||||
21 | any interest to be
contributed by the city, shall be derived | ||||||
22 | from the revenue from the taxes
authorized in this Section or | ||||||
23 | otherwise as expressly provided
in this Section.
| ||||||
24 | If it is not possible or practicable for the city to make
| ||||||
25 | contributions for age and service annuity and widow's annuity | ||||||
26 | at the
same time that employee contributions are made for such
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | purposes, such city contributions shall be construed to be due | ||||||
2 | and
payable as of the end of the fiscal year for which the tax | ||||||
3 | is levied and
shall accrue thereafter with interest at the | ||||||
4 | effective rate until paid.
| ||||||
5 | (d) With respect to employees whose wages are funded as | ||||||
6 | participants
under the Comprehensive Employment and Training | ||||||
7 | Act of 1973, as amended
(P.L. 93-203, 87 Stat. 839, P.L. | ||||||
8 | 93-567, 88 Stat. 1845), hereinafter
referred to as CETA, | ||||||
9 | subsequent to October 1, 1978, and in instances
where the board | ||||||
10 | has elected to establish a manpower program reserve, the
board | ||||||
11 | shall compute the amounts necessary to be credited to the | ||||||
12 | manpower
program reserves established and maintained as herein | ||||||
13 | provided, and
shall make a periodic determination of the amount | ||||||
14 | of required
contributions from the City to the reserve to be | ||||||
15 | reimbursed by the
federal government in accordance with rules | ||||||
16 | and regulations established
by the Secretary of the United | ||||||
17 | States Department of Labor or his
designee, and certify the | ||||||
18 | results thereof to the City Council. Any such
amounts shall | ||||||
19 | become a credit to the City and will be used to reduce the
| ||||||
20 | amount which the City would otherwise contribute during | ||||||
21 | succeeding years
for all employees.
| ||||||
22 | (e) In lieu of establishing a manpower program reserve with | ||||||
23 | respect
to employees whose wages are funded as participants | ||||||
24 | under the
Comprehensive Employment and Training Act of 1973, as | ||||||
25 | authorized by
subsection (d), the board may elect to establish | ||||||
26 | a special municipality
contribution rate for all such |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | employees. If this option is elected, the
City shall contribute | ||||||
2 | to the Fund from federal funds provided under the
Comprehensive | ||||||
3 | Employment and Training Act program at the special rate so
| ||||||
4 | established and such contributions shall become a credit to the | ||||||
5 | City and
be used to reduce the amount which the City would | ||||||
6 | otherwise contribute
during succeeding years for all | ||||||
7 | employees.
| ||||||
8 | (f) In lieu of levying all or a portion of the tax required | ||||||
9 | under this
Section in any year, the city may deposit with the | ||||||
10 | city treasurer no later than
March 1 of that year for the | ||||||
11 | benefit of the fund, to be held in accordance with
this | ||||||
12 | Article, an amount that, together with the taxes levied under | ||||||
13 | this Section
for that year, is not less than the amount of the | ||||||
14 | city contributions for that
year as certified by the board to | ||||||
15 | the city council. The deposit may be derived
from any source | ||||||
16 | legally available for that purpose, including, but not limited
| ||||||
17 | to, the proceeds of city borrowings. The making of a deposit | ||||||
18 | shall satisfy
fully the requirements of this Section for that | ||||||
19 | year to the extent of the
amounts so deposited. Amounts | ||||||
20 | deposited under this subsection may be used by
the fund for any | ||||||
21 | of the purposes for which the proceeds of the tax levied by
the | ||||||
22 | city under this Section may be used, including the payment of | ||||||
23 | any amount
that is otherwise required by this Article to be | ||||||
24 | paid from the proceeds of that
tax.

3 | (a) Beginning January 1, 2018, the city shall be obligated | ||||||
4 | to contribute to the Fund in each fiscal year an amount not | ||||||
5 | less than the amount determined annually under subsection (a-5) | ||||||
6 | of Section 8-173 of this Code. Notwithstanding any other | ||||||
7 | provision of law, if the city fails to pay the amount | ||||||
8 | guaranteed under this Section on or before December 31 of the | ||||||
9 | year in which such amount is due, the retirement board may | ||||||
10 | bring a mandamus action in the Circuit Court of Cook County to | ||||||
11 | compel the city to make the required payment, irrespective of | ||||||
12 | other remedies that may be available to the Fund. The | ||||||
13 | obligations and causes of action created under this Section | ||||||
14 | shall be in addition to any other right or remedy otherwise | ||||||
15 | accorded by common law or State or federal law, and nothing in | ||||||
16 | this Section shall be construed to deny, abrogate, impair, or | ||||||
17 | waive any such common law or statutory right or remedy. | ||||||
18 | (b) In ordering the city to make the required payment, the | ||||||
19 | court may order a reasonable payment schedule to enable the | ||||||
20 | city to make the required payment without significantly | ||||||
21 | imperiling the public health, safety, or welfare. Any payments | ||||||
22 | required to be made by the city pursuant to this Section are | ||||||
23 | expressly subordinated to the payment of the principal, | ||||||
24 | interest, premium, if any, and other payments on or related to | ||||||
25 | any bonded debt obligation of the city, either currently |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | outstanding or to be issued, for which the source of repayment | ||||||
2 | or security thereon is derived directly or indirectly from any | ||||||
3 | funds collected or received by the city or collected or | ||||||
4 | received on behalf of the city. Payments on such bonded | ||||||
5 | obligations include any statutory fund transfers or other | ||||||
6 | prefunding mechanisms or formulas set forth, now or hereafter, | ||||||
7 | in State law, city ordinance, or bond indentures, into debt | ||||||
8 | service funds or accounts of the city related to such bonded | ||||||
9 | obligations, consistent with the payment schedules associated | ||||||
10 | with such obligations.

19 | January 1, 1972, 6-1/2% of each payment of the salary of each | ||||||
20 | present
employee and future entrant , except as provided in | ||||||
21 | subsection (a-5) and (a-10), shall be contributed to the fund | ||||||
22 | as a
deduction from salary for age and service annuity.
| ||||||
23 | (a-5) Except as provided in subsection (a-10), for an | ||||||
24 | employee who, on or after January 1, 2011 and prior to the | ||||||
25 | effective date of this amendatory Act of the 99th General |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Assembly, first became a member or participant under this | ||||||
2 | Article and made the election under item (i) of subsection | ||||||
3 | (d-10) of Section 1-160: prior to the effective date of this | ||||||
4 | amendatory Act of the 99th General Assembly, 6.5%; and | ||||||

6 | 99th General Assembly and prior to January 1, 2018, 7.5%; and | ||||||
7 | beginning January 1, 2018 and prior to January 1, 2019, 8.5%; | ||||||
8 | and beginning January 1, 2019 and thereafter, 9.5% of each | ||||||
9 | payment of salary shall be contributed to the fund as a | ||||||
10 | deduction from salary for age and service annuity. Beginning | ||||||
11 | with the first pay period on or after the date when the funded | ||||||
12 | ratio of the fund is first determined to have reached the 90% | ||||||
13 | funding goal, and each pay period thereafter for as long as the | ||||||
14 | fund maintains a funding ratio of 75% or more, employee | ||||||
15 | contributions for age and service annuity for those employees | ||||||
16 | who made the election under item (i) of subsection (d-10) of | ||||||
17 | Section 1-160 shall be 5.5% of each payment of salary. If the | ||||||
18 | funding ratio falls below 75%, then employee contributions for | ||||||
19 | age and service annuity for those employees who made the | ||||||
20 | election under item (i) of subsection (d-10) shall revert to | ||||||
21 | 9.5% until such time as the fund once again is determined to | ||||||
22 | have reached a funding ratio of 75%, at which time the 5.5% of | ||||||
23 | salary contribution for age and service annuity shall resume. | ||||||
24 | An employee who made the election under item (ii) of subsection | ||||||
25 | (d-10) of Section 1-160 shall continue to have the | ||||||
26 | contributions for age and service annuity determined under |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | subsection (a) of this Section. | ||||||
2 | (a-10) For each employee who, on or after the effective | ||||||
3 | date of this amendatory Act of the 99th General Assembly | ||||||
4 | becomes a member or participant under this Article, 9.5% of | ||||||
5 | each payment of salary shall be contributed to the fund as a | ||||||
6 | deduction from salary for age and service annuity. Beginning | ||||||
7 | with the first pay period on or after the date when the funded | ||||||
8 | ratio of the fund is first determined to have reached the 90% | ||||||
9 | funding goal, and each pay period thereafter as long as the | ||||||
10 | Fund maintains a funding ratio of 75% or more, employee | ||||||
11 | contributions for age and service annuity for each employee | ||||||
12 | subject to this subsection (a-10) shall be 5.5% of each payment | ||||||
13 | of salary. If the funding ratio falls below 75%, then employee | ||||||
14 | contributions for each employee subject to this subsection | ||||||
15 | (a-10) shall revert to 9.5% until such time as the fund once | ||||||
16 | again is determined to have reached a funding ratio of 75%, at | ||||||
17 | which time the 5.5% of salary contribution for age and service | ||||||
18 | annuity shall resume. | ||||||
19 | Such deductions beginning on the effective date and prior | ||||||
20 | to July 1,
1947 shall be made for a future entrant while he is | ||||||
21 | in the service until
he attains age 65 and for a present | ||||||
22 | employee while he is in the service
until the amount so | ||||||
23 | deducted from his salary with the amount deducted
from his | ||||||
24 | salary or paid by him according to law to any municipal pension
| ||||||
25 | fund in force on the effective date with interest on both such | ||||||
26 | amounts
at 4% per annum equals the sum that would have been to |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | his credit from
sums deducted from his salary if deductions at | ||||||
2 | the rate herein stated
had been made during his entire service | ||||||
3 | until he attained age 65 with
interest at 4% per annum for the | ||||||
4 | period subsequent to his attainment of
age 65. Such deductions | ||||||
5 | beginning July 1, 1947 shall be made and
continued for | ||||||
6 | employees while in the service.
| ||||||
7 | (b) (Blank). Concurrently with each employee contribution | ||||||
8 | beginning on the
effective date and prior to July 1, 1947 the | ||||||
9 | city shall contribute 5
3/4%; and beginning on July 1, 1947 and | ||||||
10 | prior to July 1, 1953, 7%; and
beginning July 1, 1953, 6% of | ||||||
11 | each payment of such salary until the
employee attains age 65.

12 | (c) Each employee contribution made prior to the date the | ||||||

contribution shall be credited to the | ||||||
15 | employee and allocated to the
account of the employee for whose | ||||||

22 | Sec. 8-228.5. Action by Fund against third party; | ||||||
23 | subrogation. In those cases where the injury or death for which | ||||||
24 | a disability or death benefit is payable under this Article was | ||||||
25 | caused under circumstances creating a legal liability on the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | part of some person or entity (hereinafter "third party") to | ||||||
2 | pay damages to the employee, legal proceedings may be taken | ||||||
3 | against such third party to recover damages notwithstanding the | ||||||
4 | Fund's payment of or liability to pay disability or death | ||||||
5 | benefits under this Article. In such case, however, if the | ||||||
6 | action against such third party is brought by the injured | ||||||
7 | employee or his or her personal representative and judgment is | ||||||
8 | obtained and paid, or settlement is made with such third party, | ||||||
9 | either with or without suit, from the amount received by such | ||||||
10 | employee or personal representative, then there shall be paid | ||||||
11 | to the Fund the amount of money representing the death or | ||||||
12 | disability benefits paid or to be paid to the disabled employee | ||||||
13 | pursuant to the provisions of this Article. In all | ||||||
14 | circumstances where the action against a third party is brought | ||||||
15 | by the disabled employee or his or her personal representative, | ||||||
16 | the Fund shall have a claim or lien upon any recovery, by | ||||||
17 | judgment or settlement, out of which the disabled employee or | ||||||
18 | his or her personal representative might be compensated from | ||||||
19 | such third party. The Fund may satisfy or enforce any such | ||||||
20 | claim or lien only from that portion of a recovery that has | ||||||
21 | been, or can be, allocated or attributed to past and future | ||||||
22 | lost salary, which recovery is by judgment or settlement. The | ||||||
23 | Fund's claim or lien shall not be satisfied or enforced from | ||||||
24 | that portion of a recovery that has been, or can be, allocated | ||||||
25 | or attributed to medical care and treatment, pain and | ||||||
26 | suffering, loss of consortium, and attorney's fees and costs. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Where action is brought by the disabled employee or his or | ||||||
2 | her personal representative he or she shall forthwith notify | ||||||
3 | the Fund, by personal service or registered mail, of such fact | ||||||
4 | and of the name of the court where such suit is brought, filing | ||||||
5 | proof of such notice in such action. The Fund may, at any time | ||||||
6 | thereafter, intervene in such action upon its own motion. | ||||||
7 | Therefore, no release or settlement of claim for damages by | ||||||
8 | reason of injury to the disabled employee, and no satisfaction | ||||||
9 | of judgment in such proceedings, shall be valid without the | ||||||
10 | written consent of the Board of Trustees authorized by this | ||||||
11 | Code to administer the Fund created under this Article, except | ||||||
12 | that such consent shall be provided expeditiously following a | ||||||
13 | settlement or judgment. | ||||||
14 | In the event the disabled employee or his or her personal | ||||||
15 | representative has not instituted an action against a third | ||||||
16 | party at a time when only 3 months remain before such action | ||||||
17 | would thereafter be barred by law, the Fund may, in its own | ||||||
18 | name or in the name of the personal representative, commence a | ||||||
19 | proceeding against such third party seeking the recovery of all | ||||||
20 | damages on account of injuries caused to the employee. From any | ||||||
21 | amount so recovered, the Fund shall pay to the personal | ||||||
22 | representative of such disabled employee all sums collected | ||||||
23 | from such third party by judgment or otherwise in excess of the | ||||||
24 | amount of disability or death benefits paid or to be paid under | ||||||
25 | this Article to the disabled employee or his or her personal | ||||||
26 | representative, and such costs, attorney's fees, and |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | reasonable expenses as may be incurred by the Fund in making | ||||||
2 | the collection or in enforcing such liability. The Fund's | ||||||
3 | recovery shall be satisfied only from that portion of a | ||||||
4 | recovery that has been, or can be, allocated or attributed to | ||||||
5 | past and future lost salary, which recovery is by judgment or | ||||||
6 | settlement. The Fund's recovery shall not be satisfied from | ||||||
7 | that portion of the recovery that has been or can be allocated | ||||||
8 | or attributed to medical care and treatment, pain and | ||||||
9 | suffering, loss of consortium, and attorney's fees and costs. | ||||||
10 | Additionally, with respect to any right of subrogation | ||||||
11 | asserted by the Fund under this Section, the Fund, in the | ||||||
12 | exercise of discretion, may determine what amount from past or | ||||||
13 | future salary shall be appropriate under the circumstances to | ||||||
14 | collect from the recovery obtained on behalf of the disabled | ||||||
15 | employee. | ||||||
16 | This Section applies only to persons who first become | ||||||
17 | members or participants under this Article on or after the | ||||||
18 | effective date of this amendatory Act of 99th General Assembly.

| ||||||
20 | Sec. 8-243.2. Alternative annuity for city officers.
| ||||||
21 | (a) For the purposes of this Section and Sections 8-243.1 | ||||||
22 | and 8-243.3,
"city officer" means the city clerk, the city | ||||||
23 | treasurer, or an alderman of
the city elected by vote of the | ||||||
24 | people, while serving in that capacity or as
provided in | ||||||
25 | subsection (f), who has elected to participate in the Fund.
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (b) Any elected city officer, while serving in that | ||||||
2 | capacity or as
provided in subsection (f), may elect to | ||||||
3 | establish alternative credits for
an alternative annuity by | ||||||
4 | electing in writing to make additional optional
contributions | ||||||
5 | in accordance with this Section and the procedures
established | ||||||
6 | by the board. Such elected city officer may discontinue making
| ||||||
7 | the additional optional contributions by notifying the Fund in | ||||||
8 | writing in
accordance with this Section and procedures | ||||||
9 | established by the board.
| ||||||
10 | Additional optional contributions for the alternative | ||||||
11 | annuity shall
be as follows:
| ||||||
12 | (1) For service after the option is elected, an | ||||||
13 | additional contribution
of 3% of salary shall be | ||||||
14 | contributed to the Fund on the same basis and
under the | ||||||
15 | same conditions as contributions required under Sections | ||||||
16 | 8-174
and 8-182.
| ||||||
17 | (2) For service before the option is elected, an | ||||||
18 | additional
contribution of 3% of the salary for the | ||||||
19 | applicable period of service, plus
interest at the | ||||||
20 | effective rate from the date of service to the date of
| ||||||
21 | payment. All payments for past service must be paid in full | ||||||
22 | before credit
is given. No additional optional | ||||||
23 | contributions may be made for any period
of service for | ||||||
24 | which credit has been previously forfeited by acceptance of
| ||||||
25 | a refund, unless the refund is repaid in full with interest | ||||||
26 | at the
effective rate from the date of refund to the date |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | of repayment.
| ||||||
2 | (c) In lieu of the retirement annuity otherwise payable | ||||||
3 | under this
Article, any city officer elected by vote of the | ||||||
4 | people who (1) has
elected to participate in the Fund and make | ||||||
5 | additional optional
contributions in accordance with this | ||||||
6 | Section, and (2) has attained
age 55 with at least 10 years of | ||||||
7 | service credit, or has
attained age 60 with at least 8 years of | ||||||
8 | service credit, may
elect to have his retirement annuity | ||||||
9 | computed as follows: 3% of the
participant's salary at the time | ||||||
10 | of termination of service for each of the
first 8 years of | ||||||
11 | service credit, plus 4% of such salary for each of the
next 4 | ||||||
12 | years of service credit, plus 5% of such salary for each year | ||||||
13 | of
service credit in excess of 12 years, subject to a maximum | ||||||
14 | of 80% of such
salary. To the extent such elected city officer | ||||||
15 | has made additional
optional contributions with respect to only | ||||||
16 | a portion of his years of
service credit, his retirement | ||||||
17 | annuity will first be determined in
accordance with this | ||||||
18 | Section to the extent such additional optional
contributions | ||||||
19 | were made, and then in accordance with the remaining Sections
| ||||||
20 | of this Article to the extent of years of service credit with | ||||||
21 | respect to
which additional optional contributions were not | ||||||
22 | made.
| ||||||
23 | (d) In lieu of the disability benefits otherwise payable | ||||||
24 | under this
Article, any city officer elected by vote of the | ||||||
25 | people who (1) has
elected to participate in the Fund, and (2) | ||||||
26 | has become
permanently disabled and as a consequence is unable |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | to perform the duties
of his office, and (3) was making | ||||||
2 | optional contributions in accordance with
this Section at the | ||||||
3 | time the disability was incurred, may elect to receive
a | ||||||
4 | disability annuity calculated in accordance with the formula in
| ||||||
5 | subsection (c). For the purposes of this subsection, such | ||||||
6 | elected city
officer shall be considered permanently disabled | ||||||
7 | only if: (i) disability
occurs while in service as an elected | ||||||
8 | city officer and is of such a nature
as to prevent him from | ||||||
9 | reasonably performing the duties of his office at
the time; and | ||||||
10 | (ii) the board has received a written certification by at
least | ||||||
11 | 2 licensed physicians appointed by it stating that such officer | ||||||
12 | is
disabled and that the disability is likely to be permanent.
| ||||||
13 | (e) Refunds of additional optional contributions shall be | ||||||
14 | made on the
same basis and under the same conditions as | ||||||
15 | provided under Sections 8-168,
8-170 and 8-171. Interest shall | ||||||
16 | be credited at the effective rate on the
same basis and under | ||||||
17 | the same conditions as for other contributions.
Optional | ||||||
18 | contributions shall be accounted for in a separate Elected City
| ||||||
19 | Officer Optional Contribution Reserve. Optional contributions | ||||||
20 | under this
Section shall be included in the amount of employee | ||||||
21 | contributions used to
compute the tax levy under Section 8-173.
| ||||||
22 | (f) The effective date of this plan of optional alternative | ||||||
23 | benefits
and contributions shall be July 1, 1990, or the date | ||||||
24 | upon which approval is
received from the U.S. Internal Revenue | ||||||
25 | Service, whichever is later.
| ||||||
26 | The plan of optional alternative benefits and |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | contributions shall
not be available to any former city officer | ||||||
2 | or employee receiving an
annuity from the Fund on the effective | ||||||
3 | date of the plan, unless he
re-enters service as an elected | ||||||
4 | city officer and renders at least 3 years
of additional service | ||||||
5 | after the date of re-entry. However, a person who
holds office | ||||||
6 | as a city officer on June 1, 1995 may
elect to participate in | ||||||
7 | the plan, to transfer credits into the Fund from
other Articles | ||||||
8 | of this Code, and to make the contributions required for prior
| ||||||
9 | service, until 30 days after the effective date of this | ||||||
10 | amendatory Act
of the 92nd General Assembly, notwithstanding | ||||||
11 | the
ending of his term of
office prior to that effective date; | ||||||
12 | in the event that the person is already
receiving an annuity | ||||||
13 | from this Fund or any other Article of this Code at the
time of | ||||||
14 | making this election, the annuity shall be recalculated to | ||||||
15 | include any
increase resulting from participation in the plan, | ||||||
16 | with such increase taking
effect on the effective date of the | ||||||
17 | election.
| ||||||
18 | (g) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Section or | ||||||
19 | in this Code to the contrary, any person who first becomes a | ||||||
20 | city officer, as defined in this Section, on or after the | ||||||
21 | effective date of this amendatory Act of the 99th General | ||||||
22 | Assembly, shall not be eligible for the alternative annuity or | ||||||
23 | alternative disability benefits as provided in subsections | ||||||
24 | (a), (b), (c), and (d) of this Section or for the alternative | ||||||
25 | survivor's benefits as provided in Section 8-243.3. Such person | ||||||
26 | shall not be eligible, or be required, to make any additional |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | contributions beyond those required of other participants | ||||||
2 | under Sections 8-137, 8-174, and 8-182. The retirement annuity, | ||||||
3 | disability benefits, and survivor's benefits for a person who | ||||||
4 | first becomes a city officer on or after the effective date of | ||||||
5 | this amendatory Act of the 99th General Assembly shall be | ||||||

14 | taken, subjected to, detained, or levied upon by virtue of any | ||||||

any process or proceeding whatsoever issued out of | ||||||

State, for the payment and satisfaction | ||||||
17 | in whole or in part of any debt,
damage, claim, demand, or | ||||||
18 | judgment against any annuitant, pensioner,
participant, refund | ||||||
19 | applicant, or other beneficiary hereunder.
| ||||||
20 | (b) No annuitant, pensioner, refund applicant, or other | ||||||
21 | beneficiary
shall have any right to transfer or assign his | ||||||
22 | annuity, refund, or disability
benefit or any part thereof by | ||||||
23 | way of mortgage or otherwise, except that:
| ||||||
24 | (1) an annuitant or pensioner who
elects or has elected | ||||||
25 | to participate in a non-profit group hospital care
plan or |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | group medical surgical plan may with the approval of the | ||||||
2 | board and
in conformity with its regulations authorize the | ||||||
3 | board to withhold from the
pension or annuity the current | ||||||
4 | premium for such coverage and pay such
premium to the | ||||||
5 | organization underwriting such plan;
| ||||||
6 | (2) in the case of refunds, a participant may pledge by | ||||||
7 | assignment, power
of attorney, or otherwise, as security | ||||||
8 | for a loan from a legally operating
credit union making | ||||||
9 | loans only to participants in certain public employee
| ||||||
10 | pension funds described in the Illinois Pension Code, all | ||||||
11 | or part of any
refund which may become payable to him in | ||||||
12 | the event of his separation from
service; and
| ||||||
13 | (3) the board, in its discretion, may pay to the wife | ||||||
14 | of any annuitant,
pensioner, refund applicant, or | ||||||
15 | disability beneficiary, such an amount out of
her husband's | ||||||
16 | annuity pension, refund, or disability benefit as any court | ||||||
17 | of
competent jurisdiction may order, or such an amount as | ||||||
18 | the board may consider
necessary for the support of his | ||||||
19 | wife or children, or both in the event of his
disappearance | ||||||
20 | or unexplained absence or of his failure to support such | ||||||
21 | wife
or children.
| ||||||
22 | (c) The board may retain out of any future annuity, | ||||||
23 | pension, refund or
disability benefit payments, such amount, or | ||||||
24 | amounts, as it may require for
the repayment of any moneys paid | ||||||
25 | to any annuitant, pensioner, refund
applicant, or disability | ||||||
26 | beneficiary through misrepresentation, fraud or
error. Any |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | such action of the board shall relieve and release the board | ||||||
2 | and
the fund from any liability for any moneys so withheld.
| ||||||
3 | (d) Whenever an annuity or disability benefit is payable to | ||||||
4 | a minor or
to a person certified by a medical doctor to be | ||||||
5 | under legal
disability, the board, in its discretion and when | ||||||
6 | it is in the best
interest of the person concerned, may waive | ||||||
7 | guardianship proceedings and pay
the annuity or benefit to the | ||||||
8 | person providing or caring for the minor or
person under legal | ||||||
9 | disability.
| ||||||
10 | In the event that a person certified by a medical doctor to | ||||||
11 | be under legal
disability (i) has no spouse, blood relative, or | ||||||
12 | other person providing or
caring for him or her, (ii) has no | ||||||
13 | guardian of his or her estate, and (iii) is
confined to a | ||||||
14 | Medicare approved, State certified nursing home or to a | ||||||
15 | publicly
owned and operated nursing home, hospital, or mental | ||||||
16 | institution, the Board
may pay any benefit due that person to | ||||||
17 | the nursing home, hospital, or mental
institution, to be used | ||||||
18 | for the sole benefit of the person under legal
disability.
| ||||||
19 | Payment in accordance with this subsection to a person, | ||||||
20 | nursing
home, hospital, or mental institution for the benefit | ||||||
21 | of a minor or person
under legal disability shall be an | ||||||
22 | absolute discharge of the Fund's liability
with respect to the | ||||||
23 | amount so paid. Any person, nursing home, hospital, or

may, solely as an accommodation to such annuitant, | ||||||
6 | pay the annuity due him
to a bank, savings and loan association | ||||||

or to a bank or | ||||||

and such annuitant may withdraw such direction at any

13 | beneficiary or
annuitant for whom no estate guardian has been | ||||||
14 | appointed and who is
confined in a publicly owned and operated | ||||||

21 | may authorize
the withholding of a portion of his or her | ||||||
22 | annuity for payment of dues to the
labor organization which | ||||||
23 | formerly represented the annuitant when the annuitant
was an | ||||||
24 | active employee; however, no withholding shall be required | ||||||
25 | under this
subsection for payment to one labor organization |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | unless a minimum of 25
annuitants authorize such withholding. | ||||||
2 | The Board shall prescribe a form for
the authorization of | ||||||
3 | withholding of dues, release of name, social security
number | ||||||
4 | and address and shall provide such forms to employees, | ||||||
5 | annuitants and
labor organizations upon request. Amounts | ||||||

subsection shall be promptly | ||||||
7 | paid over to the designated organizations,
indicating the | ||||||
8 | names, social security numbers and addresses of annuitants on
| ||||||
9 | whose behalf dues were withheld.
| ||||||
10 | At the request and at the expense of the labor organization | ||||||
11 | that formerly
represented the annuitant, the City of Chicago | ||||||
12 | shall coordinate mailings no
more than twice in any | ||||||
13 | twelve-month period to such annuitants and the Board
shall | ||||||
14 | supply current annuitant addresses to the City of Chicago upon | ||||||
15 | request.
These mailings shall be limited to informing the | ||||||
16 | annuitants of their rights
under this subsection (b), the form | ||||||
17 | authorizing the withholding of dues from
their annuity and | ||||||
18 | information supplied by the labor organization pertinent to
the | ||||||
19 | decision of whether to exercise the rights of this subsection. | ||||||
20 | To meet
this obligation, the City of Chicago shall, upon | ||||||
21 | request, create and update
records of all retirees for each | ||||||
22 | labor organization as far back in time as
records permit, | ||||||
23 | including their names, addresses, phone numbers and social
| ||||||
24 | security numbers.

Act came into effect for the employer.
| ||||||
9 | (c) Any person employed by the board ; however, with respect | ||||||
10 | to any person who first becomes employed by the board on or | ||||||

2 | Sec. 11-125.9 Action by Fund against third party; | ||||||
3 | subrogation. In those cases where the injury or death for which | ||||||
4 | a disability or death benefit is payable under this Article was | ||||||
5 | caused under circumstances creating a legal liability on the | ||||||
6 | part of some person or entity (hereinafter "third party") to | ||||||
7 | pay damages to the employee, legal proceedings may be taken | ||||||
8 | against such third party to recover damages notwithstanding the | ||||||
9 | Fund's payment of or liability to pay disability or death | ||||||
10 | benefits under this Article. In such case, however, if the | ||||||
11 | action against such third party is brought by the injured | ||||||
12 | employee or his or her personal representative and judgment is | ||||||
13 | obtained and paid, or settlement is made with such third party, | ||||||
14 | either with or without suit, from the amount received by such | ||||||
15 | employee or personal representative, then there shall be paid | ||||||
16 | to the Fund the amount of money representing the death or | ||||||
17 | disability benefits paid or to be paid to the disabled employee | ||||||
18 | pursuant to the provisions of this Article. In all | ||||||
19 | circumstances where the action against a third party is brought | ||||||
20 | by the disabled employee or his or her personal representative, | ||||||
21 | the Fund shall have a claim or lien upon any recovery, by | ||||||
22 | judgment or settlement, out of which the disabled employee or | ||||||
23 | his or her personal representative might be compensated from | ||||||
24 | such third party. The Fund may satisfy or enforce any such | ||||||
25 | claim or lien only from that portion of a recovery that has |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | been, or can be, allocated or attributed to past and future | ||||||
2 | lost salary, which recovery is by judgment or settlement. The | ||||||
3 | Fund's claim or lien shall not be satisfied or enforced from | ||||||
4 | that portion of a recovery that has been, or can be, allocated | ||||||
5 | or attributed to medical care and treatment, pain and | ||||||
6 | suffering, loss of consortium, and attorney's fees and costs.
| ||||||
7 | Where action is brought by the disabled employee or his or her | ||||||
8 | personal representative he or she shall forthwith notify the | ||||||
9 | Fund, by personal service or registered mail, of such fact and | ||||||
10 | of the name of the court where such suit is brought, filing | ||||||
11 | proof of such notice in such action. The Fund may, at any time | ||||||
12 | thereafter, intervene in such action upon its own motion. | ||||||
13 | Therefore, no release or settlement of claim for damages by | ||||||
14 | reason of injury to the disabled employee, and no satisfaction | ||||||
15 | of judgment in such proceedings, shall be valid without the | ||||||
16 | written consent of the Board of Trustees authorized by this | ||||||
17 | Code to administer the Fund created under this Article, except | ||||||
18 | that such consent shall be provided expeditiously following a | ||||||
19 | settlement or judgment. | ||||||
20 | In the event the disabled employee or his or her personal | ||||||
21 | representative has not instituted an action against a third | ||||||
22 | party at a time when only 3 months remain before such action | ||||||
23 | would thereafter be barred by law, the Fund may, in its own | ||||||
24 | name or in the name of the personal representative, commence a | ||||||
25 | proceeding against such third party seeking the recovery of all | ||||||
26 | damages on account of injuries caused to the employee. From any |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | amount so recovered, the Fund shall pay to the personal | ||||||
2 | representative of such disabled employee all sums collected | ||||||
3 | from such third party by judgment or otherwise in excess of the | ||||||
4 | amount of disability or death benefits paid or to be paid under | ||||||
5 | this Article to the disabled employee or his or her personal | ||||||
6 | representative, and such costs, attorney's fees, and | ||||||
7 | reasonable expenses as may be incurred by the Fund in making | ||||||
8 | the collection or in enforcing such liability. The Fund's | ||||||
9 | recovery shall be satisfied only from that portion of a | ||||||
10 | recovery that has been, or can be, allocated or attributed to | ||||||
11 | past and future lost salary, which recovery is by judgment or | ||||||
12 | settlement. The Fund's recovery shall not be satisfied from | ||||||
13 | that portion of the recovery that has been or can be allocated | ||||||
14 | or attributed to medical care and treatment, pain and | ||||||
15 | suffering, loss of consortium, and attorney's fees and costs.
| ||||||
16 | Additionally, with respect to any right of subrogation asserted | ||||||
17 | by the Fund under this Section, the Fund, in the exercise of | ||||||
18 | discretion, may determine what amount from past or future | ||||||
19 | salary shall be appropriate under the circumstances to collect | ||||||
20 | from the recovery obtained on behalf of the disabled employee. | ||||||
21 | This Section applies only to persons who first become | ||||||
22 | members or participants under this Article on or after the | ||||||
23 | effective date of this amendatory Act of 99th General Assembly.

2 | Sec. 11-169. Financing; tax levy.
| ||||||
3 | (a) Except as provided in subsection (f) of this Section, | ||||||
4 | the city
council of the city shall levy a tax annually upon all | ||||||
5 | taxable property in the
city at the rate that will produce a | ||||||
6 | sum which, when added to the amounts
deducted from the salaries | ||||||
7 | of the employees or otherwise contributed by them
and the | ||||||
8 | amounts deposited under subsection (f), will be sufficient for | ||||||
9 | the
requirements of this Article. For the years prior to the | ||||||
10 | year 1950 the tax
rate shall be as provided for under "The 1935 | ||||||
11 | Act". Beginning with the year
1950 to and including the year | ||||||
12 | 1969 such tax shall be not more than .036%
annually of the | ||||||
13 | value, as equalized or assessed by the Department of Revenue,
| ||||||
14 | of all taxable property within such city. Beginning with the | ||||||
15 | year 1970 and
each year thereafter through levy year 2016, the | ||||||
16 | city shall levy a tax annually at a rate on the dollar
of the | ||||||
17 | value, as equalized or assessed by the Department of Revenue
of | ||||||
18 | all taxable property within such city that will
produce, when | ||||||
19 | extended, not to exceed an amount equal to the total
amount of | ||||||
20 | contributions by the employees to the fund
made in the calendar | ||||||
21 | year 2 years prior to the year for which the annual
applicable | ||||||
22 | tax is levied, multiplied by 1.1 for the years 1970, 1971 and
| ||||||
23 | 1972; 1.145 for the year 1973; 1.19 for the year 1974; 1.235 | ||||||
24 | for the
year 1975; 1.280 for the year 1976; 1.325 for the year | ||||||
25 | 1977; 1.370
for the years 1978 through 1998; and 1.000 for the | ||||||
26 | year 1999
and for each year thereafter through levy year 2016. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Beginning in levy year 2017, and in each year thereafter, the | ||||||
2 | levy shall not exceed the amount of the city's total required | ||||||
3 | contribution to the Fund for the next payment year, as | ||||||
4 | determined under subsection (a-5). For the purposes of this | ||||||
5 | Section, the payment year is the year immediately following the | ||||||
6 | levy year .
| ||||||
7 | The tax shall be levied and collected in like manner with | ||||||
8 | the general
taxes of the city, and shall be exclusive of and in | ||||||
9 | addition to the
amount of tax the city is now or may hereafter | ||||||
10 | be authorized to levy for
general purposes under any laws which | ||||||
11 | may limit the amount of tax which
the city may levy for general | ||||||
12 | purposes. The county clerk of the county
in which the city is | ||||||
13 | located, in reducing tax levies under the
provisions of any Act | ||||||
14 | concerning the levy and extension of taxes, shall
not consider | ||||||
15 | the tax herein provided for as a part of the general tax
levy | ||||||
16 | for city purposes, and shall not include the same within any
| ||||||
17 | limitation of the per cent of the assessed valuation upon which | ||||||
18 | taxes
are required to be extended for such city.
| ||||||
19 | Revenues derived from such tax shall be paid to the city | ||||||
20 | treasurer of
the city as collected and held by the city | ||||||
21 | treasurer him for the benefit of the fund.
| ||||||
22 | If the payments on account of taxes are insufficient during | ||||||
23 | any year
to meet the requirements of this Article, the city may | ||||||
24 | issue tax
anticipation warrants against the current tax levy.
| ||||||
25 | The city may continue to use other lawfully available funds | ||||||
26 | in lieu of all or part of the levy, as provided under |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | subsection (f) of this Section. | ||||||
2 | (a-5) (1) Beginning in payment year 2018, the city's | ||||||
3 | required annual contribution to the Fund for payment years 2018 | ||||||
4 | through 2022 shall be: for 2018, $36,000,000; for 2019, | ||||||
5 | $48,000,000; for 2020, $60,000,000; for 2021, $72,000,000; and | ||||||
6 | for 2022, $84,000,000. | ||||||
7 | (2) For payment years 2023 through 2058, the city's | ||||||
8 | required annual contribution to the Fund shall be the amount | ||||||
9 | determined by the Fund to be equal to the sum of (i) the city's | ||||||
10 | portion of projected normal cost for that fiscal year, plus | ||||||
11 | (ii) an amount determined on a level percentage of applicable | ||||||
12 | employee payroll basis that is sufficient to bring the total | ||||||
13 | actuarial assets of the Fund up to 90% of the total actuarial | ||||||
14 | liabilities of the Fund by the end of 2058. | ||||||
15 | (3) For payment years after 2058, the city's required | ||||||
16 | annual contribution to the Fund shall be equal to the amount, | ||||||
17 | if any, needed to bring the total actuarial assets of the Fund | ||||||
18 | up to 90% of the total actuarial liabilities of the Fund as of | ||||||
19 | the end of the year. In making the determinations under | ||||||
20 | paragraphs (2) and (3) of this subsection, the actuarial | ||||||
21 | calculations shall be determined under the entry age normal | ||||||
22 | actuarial cost method, and any actuarial gains or losses from | ||||||
23 | investment return incurred in a fiscal year shall be recognized | ||||||
24 | in equal annual amounts over the 5-year period following the | ||||||
25 | fiscal year. | ||||||
26 | To the extent that the city's contribution for any of the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | payment years referenced in this subsection is made with | ||||||
2 | property taxes, those property taxes shall be levied, | ||||||
3 | collected, and paid to the Fund in a like manner with the | ||||||
4 | general taxes of the city. | ||||||
5 | (a-10) If the city fails to transmit to the Fund | ||||||
6 | contributions required of it under this Article by December 31 | ||||||
7 | of the year in which such contributions are due, the Fund may, | ||||||
8 | after giving notice to the city, certify to the State | ||||||
9 | Comptroller the amounts of the delinquent payments, and the | ||||||
10 | Comptroller must, beginning in payment year 2018, deduct and | ||||||
11 | deposit into the Fund the certified amounts or a portion of | ||||||
12 | those amounts from the following proportions of grants of State | ||||||
13 | funds to the city: | ||||||
14 | (1) in payment year 2018, one-third of the total amount | ||||||
15 | of any grants of State funds to the city; | ||||||
16 | (2) in payment year 2019, two-thirds of the total | ||||||
17 | amount of any grants of State funds to the city; and | ||||||
18 | (3) in payment year 2020 and each payment year | ||||||
19 | thereafter, the total amount of any grants of State funds | ||||||
20 | to the city. | ||||||
21 | The State Comptroller may not deduct from any grants of | ||||||
22 | State funds to the city more than the amount of delinquent | ||||||
23 | payments certified to the State Comptroller by the Fund. | ||||||
24 | (b) On or before July 1, 2017, and each July 1 thereafter | ||||||
25 | January 10, annually , the board shall certify to notify the
| ||||||
26 | city council the annual amounts required under of the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | requirement of this Article , for which that the tax herein
| ||||||
2 | provided shall be levied for the following that current year. | ||||||
3 | The board shall compute
the amounts necessary for the purposes | ||||||
4 | of this fund to be credited to
the reserves established and | ||||||
5 | maintained as herein provided, and shall
make an annual | ||||||
6 | determination of the amount of the required city
contributions; | ||||||
7 | and certify the results thereof to the city council.
| ||||||
8 | (c) In respect to employees of the city who are transferred | ||||||
9 | to the
employment of a park district by virtue of "Exchange of | ||||||
10 | Functions Act of
1957" the corporate authorities of the park | ||||||
11 | district shall annually levy
a tax upon all the taxable | ||||||
12 | property in the park district at such rate
per cent of the | ||||||
13 | value of such property, as equalized or assessed by the
| ||||||
14 | Department of Revenue, as shall be sufficient, when
added to | ||||||
15 | the amounts deducted from their salaries and
otherwise | ||||||
16 | contributed by them, to provide the benefits to which they and
| ||||||
17 | their dependents and beneficiaries are entitled under this | ||||||
18 | Article. The
city shall not levy a tax hereunder in respect to | ||||||
19 | such employees.
| ||||||
20 | The tax so levied by the park district shall be in addition | ||||||
21 | to and
exclusive of all other taxes authorized to be levied by | ||||||
22 | the park
district for corporate, annuity fund, or other | ||||||
23 | purposes. The county
clerk of the county in which the park | ||||||
24 | district is located, in reducing
any tax levied under the | ||||||
25 | provisions of any Act concerning the levy and
extension of | ||||||
26 | taxes shall not consider such tax as part of the general
tax |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | levy for park purposes, and shall not include the same in any
| ||||||
2 | limitation of the per cent of the assessed valuation upon which | ||||||
3 | taxes
are required to be extended for the park district. The | ||||||
4 | proceeds of the
tax levied by the park district, upon receipt | ||||||
5 | by the district, shall be
immediately paid over to the city | ||||||
6 | treasurer of the city for the uses and
purposes of the fund.
| ||||||
7 | The various sums to be contributed by the city and | ||||||
8 | allocated for the
purposes of this Article, and any interest to | ||||||
9 | be contributed by the city,
shall be taken from the revenue | ||||||
10 | derived from the taxes authorized in this
Section, and no money | ||||||
11 | of such city derived from any source other than
the levy and | ||||||
12 | collection of those taxes or the sale of tax
anticipation | ||||||
13 | warrants in accordance with the provisions of this Article | ||||||
14 | shall
be used to provide revenue for this Article, except as | ||||||
15 | expressly provided in
this Section.
| ||||||
16 | If it is not possible for the city to make contributions | ||||||
17 | for age and
service annuity and widow's annuity concurrently | ||||||
18 | with the employee's
contributions made for such purposes, such | ||||||
19 | city shall
make such contributions as soon as possible and | ||||||
20 | practicable thereafter
with interest thereon at the effective | ||||||
21 | rate to the time they shall be
made.
| ||||||
22 | (d) With respect to employees whose wages are funded as | ||||||
23 | participants
under the Comprehensive Employment and Training | ||||||
24 | Act of 1973, as amended
(P.L. 93-203, 87 Stat. 839, P.L. | ||||||
25 | 93-567, 88 Stat. 1845), hereinafter
referred to as CETA, | ||||||
26 | subsequent to October 1, 1978, and in instances
where the board |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | has elected to establish a manpower program reserve, the
board | ||||||
2 | shall compute the amounts necessary to be credited to the | ||||||
3 | manpower
program reserves established and maintained as herein | ||||||
4 | provided, and
shall make a periodic determination of the amount | ||||||
5 | of required
contributions from the City to the reserve to be | ||||||
6 | reimbursed by the
federal government in accordance with rules | ||||||
7 | and regulations established
by the Secretary of the United | ||||||
8 | States Department of Labor or his
designee, and certify the | ||||||
9 | results thereof to the City Council. Any such
amounts shall | ||||||
10 | become a credit to the City and will be used to reduce the
| ||||||
11 | amount which the City would otherwise contribute during | ||||||
12 | succeeding years
for all employees.
| ||||||
13 | (e) In lieu of establishing a manpower program reserve with | ||||||
14 | respect
to employees whose wages are funded as participants | ||||||
15 | under the
Comprehensive Employment and Training Act of 1973, as | ||||||
16 | authorized by
subsection (d), the board may elect to establish | ||||||
17 | a special municipality
contribution rate for all such | ||||||
18 | employees. If this option is elected,
the City shall contribute | ||||||
19 | to the Fund from federal funds provided under
the Comprehensive | ||||||
20 | Employment and Training Act program at the special
rate so | ||||||
21 | established and such contributions shall become a credit to the
| ||||||
22 | City and be used to reduce the amount which the City would | ||||||
23 | otherwise
contribute during succeeding years for all | ||||||
24 | employees.
| ||||||
25 | (f) In lieu of levying all or a portion of the tax required | ||||||
26 | under this
Section in any year, the city may deposit with the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | city treasurer no later than
March 1 of that year for the | ||||||
2 | benefit of the fund, to be held in accordance with
this | ||||||
3 | Article, an amount that, together with the taxes levied under | ||||||
4 | this Section
for that year, is not less than the amount of the | ||||||
5 | city contributions for that
year as certified by the board to | ||||||
6 | the city council. The deposit may be derived
from any source | ||||||
7 | legally available for that purpose, including, but not limited
| ||||||
8 | to, the proceeds of city borrowings. The making of a deposit | ||||||
9 | shall satisfy
fully the requirements of this Section for that | ||||||
10 | year to the extent of the
amounts so deposited. Amounts | ||||||
11 | deposited under this subsection may be used by
the fund for any | ||||||
12 | of the purposes for which the proceeds of the tax levied by
the | ||||||
13 | city under this Section may be used, including the payment of | ||||||
14 | any amount
that is otherwise required by this Article to be | ||||||
15 | paid from the proceeds of that
tax.

19 | (a) Beginning January 1, 2018, the city shall be obligated | ||||||
20 | to contribute to the Fund in each fiscal year an amount not | ||||||
21 | less than the amount determined annually under subsection (a-5) | ||||||
22 | of Section 11-169 of this Code. Notwithstanding any other | ||||||
23 | provision of law, if the city fails to pay the amount | ||||||
24 | guaranteed under this Section on or before December 31 of the | ||||||
25 | year in which such amount is due, the retirement board may |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | bring a mandamus action in the Circuit Court of Cook County to | ||||||
2 | compel the city to make the required payment, irrespective of | ||||||
3 | other remedies that may be available to the Fund. The | ||||||
4 | obligations and causes of action created under this Section | ||||||
5 | shall be in addition to any other right or remedy otherwise | ||||||
6 | accorded by common law or State or federal law, and nothing in | ||||||
7 | this Section shall be construed to deny, abrogate, impair, or | ||||||
8 | waive any such common law or statutory right or remedy. | ||||||
9 | (b) In ordering the city to make the required payment, the | ||||||
10 | court may order a reasonable payment schedule to enable the | ||||||
11 | city to make the required payment without significantly | ||||||
12 | imperiling the public health, safety, or welfare. Any payments | ||||||
13 | required to be made by the city pursuant to this Section are | ||||||
14 | expressly subordinated to the payment of the principal, | ||||||
15 | interest, premium, if any, and other payments on or related to | ||||||
16 | any bonded debt obligation of the city, either currently | ||||||
17 | outstanding or to be issued, for which the source of repayment | ||||||
18 | or security thereon is derived directly or indirectly from any | ||||||
19 | funds collected or received by the city or collected or | ||||||
20 | received on behalf of the city. Payments on such bonded | ||||||
21 | obligations include any statutory fund transfers or other | ||||||
22 | prefunding mechanisms or formulas set forth, now or hereafter, | ||||||
23 | in State law, city ordinance, or bond indentures, into debt | ||||||
24 | service funds or accounts of the city related to such bonded | ||||||
25 | obligations, consistent with the payment schedules associated | ||||||
26 | with such obligations.

18 | under item (i) of subsection (d-10) of Section 1-160: prior to | ||||||
19 | this amendatory Act of the 99th General Assembly, 6.5%; and | ||||||
20 | beginning on the effective date of this amendatory Act of the | ||||||

22 | beginning January 1, 2018, and prior to January 1, 2019, 8.5%; | ||||||
23 | and, beginning January 1, 2019 and thereafter, 9.5% of each | ||||||
24 | payment of salary shall be contributed to the fund as a | ||||||
25 | deduction from salary for age and service annuity. Beginning |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | with the first pay period on or after the date when the funded | ||||||
2 | ratio of the Fund is first determined to have reached the 90% | ||||||
3 | funding goal, and each pay period thereafter for as long as the | ||||||
4 | Fund maintains a funding ratio of 75% or more, employee | ||||||
5 | contributions for age and service annuity for those employees | ||||||
6 | who made the election under item (i) of subsection (d-10) of | ||||||
7 | Section 1-160 shall be 5.5% of each payment of salary. If the | ||||||

11 | 9.5% until such time as the Fund once again is determined to | ||||||
12 | have reached a funding ratio of 75%, at which time the 5.5% of | ||||||
13 | salary employee contribution for age and service annuity shall | ||||||
14 | resume. An employee who made the election under item (ii) of | ||||||
15 | subsection (d-10) of Section 1-160 shall continue to have the | ||||||
16 | contributions for age and service annuities determined under | ||||||
17 | subsection (a) of this Section. | ||||||
18 | (a-10) For each employee who on or after the effective date | ||||||
19 | of this amendatory Act of the 99th General Assembly first | ||||||
20 | becomes a member or participant under this Article, 9.5% of | ||||||
21 | each payment of his or her salary shall be contributed to the | ||||||
22 | fund as a deduction from salary for age and service annuity. | ||||||
23 | Beginning with the first pay period on or after the date when | ||||||
24 | the funded ratio of the Fund is first determined to have | ||||||
25 | reached the 90% funding goal, and each pay period thereafter | ||||||
26 | for as long as the Fund maintains a funding ratio of 75% or |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | more, employee contributions for age and service annuity for | ||||||
2 | each employee subject to this subsection (a-10) shall be 5.5% | ||||||
3 | of each payment of salary. If the funding ratio falls below | ||||||
4 | 75%, then employee contributions for age and service annuity | ||||||
5 | for each employee subject to this subsection (a-10) shall | ||||||
6 | revert to 9.5% until such time as the Fund once again is | ||||||
7 | determined to have reached a funding ratio of 75%, at which | ||||||
8 | time the 5.5% of salary contribution for age and service | ||||||
9 | annuity shall resume. | ||||||
10 | Such deductions
beginning on the effective date and prior | ||||||
11 | to June 30, 1947, inclusive
shall be made for a future entrant | ||||||
12 | while he is in service until he
attains age 65, and for a | ||||||
13 | present employee while he is in service until
the amount so | ||||||
14 | deducted from his salary with interest at the rate of 4%
per | ||||||
15 | annum shall be equal to the sum which would have accumulated to | ||||||
16 | his
credit from sums deducted from his salary if deductions at | ||||||
17 | the rate
herein stated had been made during his entire service | ||||||
18 | until he attained
age 65 with interest at 4% per annum for the | ||||||
19 | period subsequent to his
attainment of age 65. Such deductions | ||||||
20 | beginning July 1, 1947 shall be
made and continued for | ||||||
21 | employees while in the service.
| ||||||
22 | (b) (Blank). Concurrently with each employee contribution, | ||||||
23 | the city shall
contribute beginning on the effective date and | ||||||

3/4%; and beginning July 1, 1947 and | ||||||
25 | prior to July 1, 1953, 7%; and
beginning July 1, 1953, 6% of | ||||||
26 | each payment of such salary until the
employee attains age 65.
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (c) Each employee contribution made prior to the date age | ||||||
2 | and
service annuity for an employee is fixed and each | ||||||
3 | corresponding city
contribution shall be allocated to the | ||||||
4 | account of and credited to the
employee for whose benefit it is | ||||||
5 | made.
| ||||||
6 | (d) Notwithstanding Section 1-103.1, the changes to this | ||||||
7 | Section made by this amendatory Act of the 99th General | ||||||
8 | Assembly apply regardless of whether the employee was in active | ||||||
9 | service on or after the effective date of this amendatory Act. | ||||||
