DESCRIPTION



This act revises provisions of the Kansas City Police and Civilians Retirement Systems. This act provides active members of the system who are on the retirement board with up to 10 days paid leave to be able to attend meetings and educational seminars approved by the retirement board.

The act authorizes the retirement board to administer early retirement incentives offered to employees in addition to other benefits such members may be entitled to. However, the city shall agree to increase its contribution to provide for the full actuarial costs of the early retirement incentives.

The act also adds a funeral benefit of $1,000 for members as of August 28, 2003, who die in service or who die after retiring.

This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
