Status: in_force

(a) Any permanent employee subject to this part may be removed, discharged, or demoted by his or her appointing authority, provided that within five days the appointing authority makes a report in writing of the action to the board, giving the reason for the removal, discharge, or demotion. The employee shall have 10 days from the time of notification of his or her discharge, removal, or demotion in which to appeal to the board. The board shall thereupon order the charges or complaint to be filed immediately in writing and shall hold a hearing de novo on the charges. No permanent employee, officer, or official of the city whose employment comes within the jurisdiction of this part, and whose probationary period has been served, shall be removed, discharged, or demoted except for some personal misconduct, or fact, rendering his or her further tenure harmful to the public interest, or for some cause affecting or concerning his or her fitness or ability; and if the removal, discharge, or demotion is appealed to the board, then the same will become final only after a hearing upon written charges or complaint has been had and after an opportunity has been given him or her to face his or her accusers and be heard in his or her own defense. Pending a hearing on appeal, the affected employee may be suspended. After the hearing the board may order the employee reinstated, demoted, removed, discharged, or suspended, or take other disciplinary action as in its judgment warranted by the evidence and under the law. Charges may be filed by any resident citizen of the city as follows: The charges must be in writing, must set forth succinctly the matters complained of, and must be sworn to before any member of the board or before any person authorized to administer oaths. Upon the receipt of the charges, the board, after due consideration, shall determine whether in its opinion it considers that the good of the service will be served by a trial thereon; and, if not, the charges may be dismissed by the board. If in the judgment of the board the charges are of a minor nature, the charges may be referred by the board to the proper department head who shall make an investigation of the charges and make his or her recommendation to the board within a time as the board may prescribe, as to what disciplinary action, if any, should be taken. After the recommendation is made by the department head and after due notice is given to the affected employee of the receipt of the recommendation and the contents thereof, the board may, in its discretion, adopt and order executed the action recommended by the department head or any part thereof. However, if the complainant or the affected employee, or both of them, objects to the recommendation of the department head, the board shall hold a public hearing de novo on the charges, and take disciplinary action as in its judgment is warranted by the evidence and under the law. All hearings before the board shall be open to the public. All testimony given in all hearings before the board shall be taken down in shorthand by a stenographer or by some other legally accepted means. In all cases, the decision of the board shall be reduced to writing and entered in the record of the case. In all proceedings before the board, the city attorney may appear and prosecute all charges instituted by the city governing body or any member thereof or by any department head, when requested or directed to do so by the city governing body. The city attorney may not prosecute any charges brought by a private citizen. In all proceedings before the board, the city attorney may appear and represent the interests of the city.

In case a person refuses to obey a subpoena, the board or its representative may invoke the aid of any circuit court in order that the testimony or evidence be produced. Upon proper showing, the court shall issue a subpoena or order requiring the person to appear before the board or its representative and produce all evidence and give all testimony relating to the matter in issue. A person who fails to obey a subpoena order may be punished by the court for contempt. The fees of witnesses for attendance and travel shall be the same as fees for witnesses in the circuit courts of this state, which fees shall be paid from the treasury of the city.

(c) Any person aggrieved by a decision of the board may appeal the decision to the Circuit Court of Calhoun County in equity within 30 days from the rendition of the decision by the board. Review by the court shall be without a jury and be confined to the record, and to a determination of the questions of law presented. The board’s findings of fact shall be final and conclusive.

(1) The requirements of § 415(b), Internal Revenue Code, are met, determined by treating the accrued benefit derived from all such contributions as an annual benefit for purposes of § 415(b), Internal Revenue Code, provided, however, the plan shall not fail to meet the reduced limit under § 415(b)(2)(C), Internal Revenue Code, solely by reason of this section; or

(2) The requirements of § 415(c), Internal Revenue Code, are met, determined by treating all such contributions as annual additions for purposes of § 415(c), Internal Revenue Code, provided, however, the plan shall not fail to meet the percentage limitation under § 415(c)(1)(B), Internal Revenue Code, solely by reason of this section.

(b) Limitation on nonqualified service credit. The plan shall fail to meet the requirements of this section if:

(1) More than five years of nonqualified service credit are taken into account; or

(c) Definitions.

(1) PERMISSIVE SERVICE CREDIT. a. For purposes of this section, means service credit that is:

1. Recognized by the plan for purposes of calculating a member’s benefit under the plan;

2. Which such member has not otherwise received under the plan; and

3. Which such member may receive only by making a voluntary additional contribution, in an amount determined under the plan, which does not exceed the amount necessary to fund the benefit attributable to such service credit.

b. Permissive service credit may include service credit for periods for which there is no performance of service, and, notwithstanding subparagraph 2. of paragraph a., may include service credited in order to provide an increased benefit for service credit which a member is receiving under the plan.

(2) NONQUALIFIED SERVICE CREDIT. a. For purposes of this section, means permissive service credit other than that allowed with respect to the following:

1. Service, including parental, medical, sabbatical, and similar leave, as an employee of the government of the United States, any state or political subdivision thereof, or any agency or instrumentality of any of the foregoing, other than military service or service for credit which was obtained as a result of a repayment described in § 415(k)(3), Internal Revenue Code;

4. Military service, other than qualified military service, recognized by the plan.

b. In the case of service described in subparagraph 1., subparagraph 2., or subparagraph 3., such service shall be nonqualified service if recognition of such service would cause a member to receive a retirement benefit for the same service under more than one plan.

(d) Special rules for trustee-to-trustee transfers. In the case of a trustee-to-trustee transfer to which § 403(b)(13)(A) or § 457(e)(17)(A), Internal Revenue Code, applies, without regard to whether the transfer is made between plans maintained by the same employer:

Status: in_force

(a) In each instance in which any provision of this section requires a determination of the value of a security, or securities, in the fund, the fair market value of such security or securities as determined by pricing sources acceptable to the custodian, shall be deemed to be the value thereof.

(b) The fund shall include all assets of the fund in any form, and the city director of finance shall be, ex officio, the custodian of the fund. The custodian shall keep a separate account of the fund and of all assets and liabilities thereof and of all receipts and disbursements thereof and of all prior service time and paid membership time of employee members. The custodian shall keep all monies of the fund in a separate bank account. The custodian shall keep in force and effect a bond in a penal amount equal to the total amount of monies and securities in such custodian’s custody or possession, but in no event in excess of fifty thousand dollars ($50,000), payable to the board and conditioned for faithful performance of such custodian’s duties and for faithful accounting to the board for all monies, securities, and property coming into his or her control, custody, or possession as custodian. Such bond shall be executed by a surety company authorized to do business in the State of Alabama, and the premium on such bond, and all necessary expenses of the board, shall be paid out of the fund upon order of the board. All bonds and securities acquired for the fund shall be registered by the custodian, or his or her designated representative, in the name of the system promptly upon acquisition and shall remain so registered until sold or otherwise disposed of by authority of the board. The board shall select a financial institution as subcustodian of securities, with authority to collect and remit to the custodian dividends, principal, and interest of securities entrusted to its custody as the same may mature, and pay it such reasonable fees or compensation for its services as the board may deem proper, and the board, if it sees fit, may waive any bond otherwise required of such institution as subcustodian so long as the net worth of the subcustodian exceeds one and one-half times the total value of the securities entrusted to its custody. Securities in the custody of the subcustodian shall not be counted as in the custody of the custodian for the purpose of computing the amount of the custodian’s bond. The board is authorized to accept and receive gifts, donations, or legacies for the fund, and to administer same as may be directed by the board. No member or employee of the board of managers, directly or indirectly, shall for himself or herself or as an agent in any manner use the fund, except to make current and necessary payments authorized by the board, nor shall any member or employee of the board of managers become an endorser or surety or in any manner an obligor for monies loaned to or borrowed from the board. In the adjudication of claims against the fund, the records of the city director of finance and subcustodian made and kept for the purpose of this subpart shall be deemed prima facie, to speak the truth.

(c) The board of managers shall have the sole and absolute discretion, if the board deems it advisable to invest, reinvest, and have invested and reinvested all funds of the system, real and personal, in the classes of bonds, mortgages, common and preferred stocks, shares of investment companies or mutual funds, real estate investment trusts, international equity, corporate fixed income, international fixed income, index funds, and derivative securities, and investments recognized as alternative investments or other investments as the board of managers may approve, subject to the limitations herein provided. No money of the fund shall be invested, paid out, or disbursed except pursuant to order or authorization of the board given prior, at the time, or subsequent to same. The board shall be trustee, and have entire management and control of the fund, and shall direct or subsequently approve investment of monies of the fund not needed to meet disbursements provided for in this subpart, in the loans to members hereinabove referred to, in bills, notes and bonds of the United States government, or general obligation bonds of the State of Alabama, or in common or preferred stock of corporations or in bonds registered with the Security and Exchange Commission, mortgage-backed securities, or asset-backed securities, or in securities issued by federal agencies and government sponsored entities, or may invest in Federal Saving and Loan Associations or in other corporations having Federal Savings and Loan Association’s guarantee or in certificates of deposit or bonds issued by banks organized under federal laws or under laws of the State of Alabama and insured by the federal government or in such other assets as the board may prudently approve, with due regard to their suitability and creditworthiness. No funds shall be invested in common or preferred stocks of corporations unless such common or preferred stocks are listed upon exchanges registered with and subject to the jurisdiction of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, are traded through NASDAQ Stock Market, are Rule 144A securities, or are traded on an organized exchange, and the total investment in fixed income securities shall not be less than 15 percent of the fair market value of all the funds available in the system for investment. Securities issued by any single nonguaranteed agency or entity may not constitute more than 10 percent of the fixed income allocation of the fund at the time of purchase. The fair market value of all of the funds available in the system for investment is to be determined periodically, but not less than annually. In exercising its discretion to invest, reinvest, and have invested and reinvested all funds of the system, the board shall act with the care, skill, prudence, and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing that a prudent person acting in a like capacity and familiar with such matters would use in the conduct of an enterprise of a like character and with like aims.
