AN ACT to authorize the village of Sleepy Hollow to offer an optional
twenty year retirement plan to certain police officers employed by
such village
The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-bly, do enact as follows:
1 Section 1. Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary,
2 the village of Sleepy Hollow, a participating employer in the New York
3 state and local police and fire retirement system, which previously
4 elected to offer the optional twenty year retirement plan, established
5 pursuant to section 384-d of the retirement and social security law, to
6 police officers employed by such village, is hereby authorized to make
7 participation in such plan available to Jose Quinoy, Raymond
8 D'Alessandro, and James Warren, police officers employed by the village
9 of Sleepy Hollow, who, for reasons not ascribable to their own negli-
10 gence, failed to make a timely application to participate in such
11 optional twenty year retirement plan. The village of Sleepy Hollow may
12 so elect by filing with the state comptroller, on or before December 31,
13 2009, a resolution of its local legislative body together with certif-
14 ication that such police officers did not bar themselves from partic-
15 ipation in such retirement plan as a result of their own negligence.
16 Thereafter, such police officers may elect to be covered by the
17 provisions of section 384-d of the retirement and social security law,
18 and shall be entitled to the full rights and benefits associated with
19 coverage under such section, by filing a request to that effect with the
20 state comptroller on or before June 30, 2010.
21 § 2. All employer costs associated with implementing the provisions of
22 this act shall be borne by the village of Sleepy Hollow over a ten year
23 period.
24 § 3. This act shall take effect immediately.
EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
[] is old law to be omitted.

FISCAL NOTE.--This bill would allow Officers Jose Quinoy, Raymond
D'Alessandro, and James Warren to become covered by the provisions of
Section 384-d of the Retirement and Social Security Law.
If this bill were enacted, we anticipate that there will be an
increase of approximately $11,300 in the annual contributions of the
Village of Sleepy Hollow for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2010.
In addition to the annual contributions discussed above, there will be
an immediate past service cost of approximately $123,000 which would be
borne by the Village of Sleepy Hollow as a one-time payment. This esti-
mate is based on the assumption that payment will be made on February 1,
2010. If the past service cost is amortized over a period of ten (10)
years, the past service costs for the first year including interest,
would be approximately $17,000.
This estimate, dated April 3, 2009 and intended for use only during
the 2009 Legislative Session, is Fiscal Note No. 2009-196, prepared by
the Actuary for the New York State and Local Police and Fire Retirement
System.
