AI Summary
- Amends the Macon Water Commissioners Pension Plan (originally approved December 30, 1953) to revise rules governing termination of employment before retirement and direct rollovers
- Terminated members with account balances between $1,000.00 and $4,999.99 will have funds deposited into an individual retirement account on their behalf; those with balances of $5,000.00 or more (excluding rollover funds) may keep contributions in the plan
- Terminated members receive a 12-month election period from their termination date to choose between taking a severance benefit (cumulative employee contributions plus simple interest at 75% of the actuarial interest credit rate) or leaving contributions in the plan to preserve accrued employer-contribution benefits
- Establishes a cliff vesting schedule requiring five or more years of service for 100% vesting in employer contributions, with 0% vesting for fewer than five years
