The System is administered by a board of eightmembers, composed of three members of the System, an official of a bank, an official of a life insurance company, the Director of Finance, a member of the State Personnel Board, and an official of the University of California. 2. Retirement for service is optional upon attainment of age 55 by lo- cal firemen and local policemen, and age 60 or age 55 at the election of the Public Agency, by other employees, and completion of twenty years of service for the Public Agency, and is compulsory at age 65 for local firemen and local policemen, and at age 70 for other employees. 3. The monthly retirement allowance payable upon retirement for service is dependent upon such factors as age, sex, salary and years of ser- vice. For local firemen and local policemen, retiring at age 55 in paragraph 2, or at a higher age with 20 years of service, the month- ly allowance is approximately one-half the average monthly salary during the five years :immediately preceding retirement, unless the Public Agency elects to provide prior service benefits at less than the fall amount. For other Agency employees, the monthly allowance, upon retirement at age 65 if the Agency elects 60 as the lowest op- tional service retirement age, is approximately 1/70th of the aver- age monthly salary during the five years immediately preceding retirement, for each year of service after the effective date of participation, plus approximately 1/70th, or less as may be pro- vided in said contract by the Public Agency for its employees, of "final compensation" or of the average monthly salary during the three years immediately preceding the effective date of partici- pation, for each year of service prior to that date. Upon retire- ment at age 60, if the agency elects 55 as the lowest optional service retirement age, the fraction is approximately 1/60th instead of 1/70th. F 122d - 1 (Guar. % & Comp.) 10-50 I.. A minimum service retirement allowance of $40 per month is guaranteed upon retirement at age 70 with credit for service rendered prior to said effective date, if the Public Agency elects age 60 as the lowest optional service retirement age, or a minimum allowance of $60 per month upon retirement at age 65 or over with twenty years of service, or upon retirement at age 70 with credit for prior service, if the Pub- lic Agency elects age 55 as the lowest optional service retirement age. 5. Retirement for disability, except in the case of local firemen and lo- cal policemen disabled from injury arising out of and in the course of employment, is permitted only after ten years of service and upon proof of incapacity for the performance of duty. 6. The monthly retirement allowance payable upon disability retirement, described in preceding item 5, is dependent upon such factors as age, salary and years of service, but generally is equal to 90% of 1/70th, or 1/60th as the case may be, of the average monthly salary during the five years immediately preceding retirement, for each year of service, with a guarantee of 25% of said salary, subject to certain restrictions and modifications. 7. Disability retirement of local firemen and local policemen, in the event of disability arising out of and in the course of employment, is permitted regardless of age and service, the monthly retirement allowance being one-half the average monthly salary during the five years immediately preceding retirement. 8. The benefit payable at death before retirement, except in the case of local firemen and local policemen dying from injury arising out of and in the course of employment, consists of the contributions of the member plus interest, and plus 1/12th of the mernber's annual salary during the year immediately preceding death, for each year, not ex- ceeding six years, of service as a member of the System. Upon death after retirement, and at the election of the Public Agency, a bene- fit of $300 is payable. 9. The monthly allowance payable to the widow and children, at the death of local firemen and local policemen arising out of and in the course of employment, is one-half the average monthly salary during the five years immediately preceding death. 10. The benefit upon separation from service by other cause than death or retirement, is the refund of the member's contributions, with in- terest. Members having accumulated contributions of at least $500 upon resignation or discharge, may elect irrevocably, within ninety days, to leave contributions in the Retirement Fund, and then upon reaching the lowest optional service retirement age or becoming dis- abled, to be entitled to receive such retirement allowance as will be provided by their and the Agency's contributions and their credited service, regardless of service rendered. F 122d - 2 (Guar. % & Comp.) 10-50 11. Contributions required of local firemen and local policemen, without credit for prior service, depend upon salary and upon age of entry into the Retirement System, the contributions per $100 of salary varying from $7.63 at entry age 21, to $14.35 at entry age 35. Contributions of firemen and policemen having credit for prior service depend on salary, entry age, and amount of prior service, the amount of contribu- tions per $100 being $16.33 for example, at entry age 54, with 19 years of prior service. 12. For other Agency employees, the contributions depend upon salary, sex and age of entry into the Retirement System, the contributions per $100 of salary varying from $4.62 at age 20, to $7.99 at age 64, for men, and from $5.36 at age 20, to $9,45 at age 64, for women, all based on the Public Agency's election of age 60 as the lowest optional service retirement age. If the Public Agency elects age 55 as the lowest op- tional service retirement age, the contributions per $100 of salary vary from $7.36 at age 20, to $10.88 at age 59, for men, and from $8.35 at age 20, to $12.81 at age 59, for women. 13. The Agency is required to contribute the balance of funds necessary to meet the cost of the benefits provided under the Retirement System for the Agency employees. The Agency also is required to pay its propor- tionate share of the administrative costs of the System. 14. Ability of. the Retirement System to pay benefits is safeguarded by a provision authorizing the Board of Administration to revise contribu- tions of both employees and the Agency, in the light of experience under the System.
