        S. 5965--B                          2
 
        New York State and Local Police and Fire Retirement System  (PFRS),  for
        the period of July 30, 2007 through January 5, 2014, during which he was
        employed  as  a deputy sheriff in Erie County. Currently, deputy sheriff
        service is not creditable in a PFRS twenty year police retirement plan.
          If  this  bill  is  enacted during the 2020 legislative session, there
        will be an immediate past service cost of approximately  $294,000  which
        will  be  borne by the Town of Hamburg as a one-time payment. This esti-
        mate is based on the assumption that payment will be made on February 1,
        2021.
          There will be no increase in the annual contributions of the  Town  of
        Hamburg.
