                STATE OF NEW YORK
        ________________________________________________________________________
 
                                         8227--A
 
                               2017-2018 Regular Sessions
 
                   IN ASSEMBLY
 
                                      June 2, 2017
                                       ___________
 
        Introduced  by M. of A. BARRETT -- read once and referred to the Commit-
          tee on Governmental Employees  --  recommitted  to  the  Committee  on
          Governmental  Employees  in accordance with Assembly Rule 3, sec. 2 --
          committee discharged, bill amended, ordered reprinted as  amended  and
          recommitted to said committee

        AN ACT to authorize Johel E. Dongo, Carl P. Cacace Jr., Douglas J. Parr-
          ish  and  Christopher  Saya,  to  elect to participate in the optional
          twenty year retirement plan for firefighters employed by the Arlington
          Fire District in the county of Dutchess
 
          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  Arlington Fire District, in the county of Dutchess, a participating
     3  employer in the New York state and  local  police  and  fire  retirement
     4  system,  which  previously  elected  to  offer  the optional twenty year
     5  retirement plan, established pursuant to section 384-d of the retirement
     6  and social security law, to firefighters employed by such fire district,
     7  is hereby authorized to make participation in  such  plan  available  to
     8  Johel  E.  Dongo, Carl P. Cacace Jr., Douglas J. Parrish and Christopher
     9  Saya; firefighters employed by such fire district, who, for reasons  not
    10  ascribable  to their own negligence, failed to make a timely application
    11  to participate in such optional twenty year retirement plan. Thereafter,
    12  Johel E. Dongo, Carl P. Cacace Jr., Douglas J. Parrish  and  Christopher
    13  Saya  may  elect to be covered by the provisions of section 384-d of the
    14  retirement and social security law, and shall be entitled  to  the  full
    15  rights  and benefits associated with coverage under such section as well
    16  as section 384-e of such law, by filing a request to  that  effect  with
    17  the state comptroller on or before December 31, 2018.
    18    §   2.  All  past  service  costs  associated  with  implementing  the
    19  provisions of this act shall be borne by the Arlington Fire District and
    20  may be amortized over a period of ten years.
 
         EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                              [ ] is old law to be omitted.
                                                                   LBD07032-10-7
        A. 8227--A                          2
 
     1    § 3. Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary,  this
     2  act  shall  be contingent upon the Arlington Fire District Board of Fire
     3  Commissioners passing a resolution  requesting  the  enactment  of  this
     4  legislation and providing copies of such resolution to each house of the
     5  legislature.
     6    § 4. This act shall take effect immediately.
          FISCAL NOTE.--Pursuant to Legislative Law, Section 50:
          This  bill  will  allow the Arlington Fire District to elect to reopen
        the provisions of Section 384-d  together  with  Section  384-e  of  the
        Retirement  and  Social  Security  Law for fire fighters Johel E. Dongo,
        Carl P. Cacace Jr., Douglas J. Parrish and Christopher Saya.
          If this bill is enacted and these firefighters  become  covered  under
        the  provisions  of Section 384-d together with Section 384-e, we antic-
        ipate that there will be an increase of  approximately  $42,000  in  the
        annual  contributions of the Arlington Fire District for the fiscal year
        ending March 31, 2019. In future years, this cost will vary as the bill-
        ing rates and salaries of these firefighters change.
          In addition to the annual contributions discussed above, there will be
        an immediate past service cost of approximately $399,000 which would  be
        borne  by  the Arlington Fire District as a one-time payment. This esti-
        mate is based on the assumption that payment will be made on February 1,
        2019. If the Arlington Fire District elects to amortize this cost over a
        10 year period, the cost of the first year would be $53,100.
          Summary of relevant resources:
          The membership data used in  measuring  the  impact  of  the  proposed
        change  was  the same as that used in the March 31, 2017 actuarial valu-
        ation.  Distributions and other statistics can  be  found  in  the  2017

        Report.

        Control.
