Status: in_force

(a) In the event of the death of a married employee and if at the time of such death the employee (1) is in the active employment of the city, or (2) is receiving a pension either for disability or for longevity from the city a pension shall be paid to his or her spouse.

(b) The annual amount of such spouse’s pension, which shall be payable monthly, shall be equal to one-half of the amount of pension which the deceased employee, if on a disability pension, was receiving or entitled to receive at the time of his or her death; or one-half of the amount which the deceased employee, if actively employed, would have been entitled to as a pension upon attaining age 55, or immediately if he or she is then age 55 or older as the case may be, if he or she had retired instead of dying on the day of his or her death. In no event, however, will the amount of such spouse’s pension be less than 10 percent of the annual compensation of the employee at the time of his or her death, or 10 percent of his or her annual compensation over the then past four calendar years, whichever shall be the greater. Each such spouse’s pension shall be increased by 10 percent thereof on account of each child under the age of 18; provided, however, that such child or children shall be the natural children of the deceased employee or the spouse, or shall have been legally adopted prior to the death of the employee. Each such additional 10 percent of the spouse’s pension shall cease upon the attainment of the age of 18 by the child on whose account such additional pension is payable or upon such child’s earlier death.

(c) On the death of a widow or widower, or employee divorced or legally separated from his or her spouse, leaving a child or children under the age of 18, provided such children are the natural children of the deceased employee or the spouse, or were legally adopted by the deceased employee and the spouse prior to the date of death of the employee, the part of the spouse’s pension that would have been paid on behalf of each such child shall be doubled and paid to the legally appointed guardian of such child, if any there be, and if not to the person in whose care or custody such child shall be, or such other suitable person as directed by the city council (and such payment to such person shall be a complete release for the city and for the trustee of this pension plan) on an annual basis up to and including the year in which such child attains the age of 18 years.

(d) In the event of the remarriage of a spouse who is receiving a spouse’s pension, such spouse shall receive a lump sum payment of three times the annual pension then payable to him or her, including in the computation of such pension the additional pension being paid on account of children under the age of 15. For those children over the age of 15 and not yet 18 at the time of the remarriage of the spouse, such spouse will receive the amount that would have been paid such children until they reached age 18 had such spouse not remarried. This lump sum payment will be made in lieu of and in full discharge of all further pension payments which the spouse, or children, would otherwise have been entitled to receive.

(e) In the event of the death of a spouse receiving a spouse’s pension from this pension fund, together with an additional amount on behalf of the dependent children under the age of 18 years, the spouse’s pension inclusive of any amount received by him or her on account of such children shall cease, but each of such dependent children shall receive through his or her legal guardian (or to the person and under the conditions as hereinbefore set forth, and with the same relief of responsibility to the city and to the trustee under this part) an annual pension the amount of which for each such dependent child shall be double the amount allowed for him or her in the augmented spouse’s pension. Each such orphan’s pension shall cease after the year in which the child on whose account such pension is payable attains the age of 18 or upon such child’s earlier death, it being understood that the proper payment shall be made upon the eighteenth birthday of such child, but that thereafter no payments shall be made to such child.

(f) Under no circumstances shall the city council of the city raise the compensation of any city employee for the purpose of increasing the employee’s pension benefits upon retirement.

Status: in_force

(a) The Legislature of Alabama finds and declares that the health, safety, and welfare of the people of the City of Montgomery, in Montgomery County, Alabama, are enhanced by the continual encouragement, development, growth, and expansion of private enterprise within this state; that there are certain economically depressed areas in the city that need particular attention to create new jobs, stimulate economic activity, and attract private sector investment rather than government subsidy to improve the quality of life of their citizens. Therefore, it is the purpose of this section to encourage new economic activity in this depressed area by means of reduced taxes and the removal of unnecessary governmental barriers to the production and earning of wages and profits and the creation of economic growth.

(b) In order to further the purposes of this section, the municipal governing body is hereby authorized to create by ordinance one or more specific areas as enterprise zones which the governing body finds are areas of pervasive poverty, unemployment, and general economic distress, and, in order to encourage private investment, to promote the creation of jobs within such zones, the city is authorized within such zones to initiate and carry out special programs which include, but are not limited to, the following:

(1) A reduction of municipal tax rates, municipal license rates and/or municipal fees for governmental services within such zones.

(2) An increase in the level or efficiency of public services within the zone including provision for the providing of such services by nongovernment entities.

(3) Reduction, removal, simplification, or other modification of regulatory requirements applying within such zones.

(4) Involvement of private entities, organizations, neighborhood associations, and community groups with such zones, including the provision by such entities of jobs, job training, and technical, financial, and other assistance to employers, employees, and residents of such zones.

(5) Other services or modification of requirements as may be necessary or desirable to qualify for financial assistance to the city or private entities within such zones under any act of the Congress of the United States heretofore or hereafter enacted.

(c) In carrying out any program established in an enterprise zone created hereunder, the governing body of the county in which the city is situated, and all agencies of the city and county agencies created thereby, and the State of Alabama and all agencies thereof, are authorized to carry out programs which include, but are not limited to, those authorized for the city under subdivisions (1) to (5), inclusive, of subsection (b).

Status: in_force

(a) If any firefighter or policeman is discharged or if for any other reason leaves his or her employment before he or she becomes entitled to the retirement benefits provided in this part, he or she forfeits his or her rights under this part. But he or she shall be entitled to a refund of all deductions made against his or her salary, without interest, less one-half of all benefits which may have been paid to him or her from the fund. If any such person however, elected or elects upon leaving the service to leave on deposit in the fund the money he or she has theretofore paid into the fund, he or she shall, if reemployment in the fire or police department within six months, be entitled to receive credit for continuous service from the beginning of the service which he or she had rendered prior to leaving the service, provided he or she pays all the dues which he or she would have been required to pay had he or she remained a member of the pension fund from the date of his or her withdrawal to the date of his or her reemployment, with interest thereon, at the rate of six percent per annum from the date due until his or her reemployment. If the firefighter or policeman does not repay the fund as above prescribed, he or she may be readmitted to membership in the fund, in which case he or she shall be entitled to credit for services rendered prior to his or her ceasing to be a firefighter or policeman but not for the interim when he or she was out of such service.

(b) When a member with a vested interest is separated from service, the member shall be entitled to such retirement allowance whether he or she voluntarily separated from service or is dismissed for cause or for any other reason. In the event the member is dismissed for cause or for any other reason, he or she shall be entitled to make applications for and receive the retirement allowances herein above provided for upon his or her given written notice herein mentioned. (c) Any member of the pension fund who, upon ceasing to be a firefighter or policeman, withdraws the money which he or she has contributed to the fund, upon reentering the fire or police service, within 30 days, may repay to the fund all the money so withdrawn with interest at the rate of six percent per annum from the date of withdrawal to the date of his or her reemployment, and thereby be readmitted to the membership in the fund with all the credit for his or her prior service. In the event a person who has previously withdrawn the monies he had paid into the fund becomes a firefighter or policeman again and fails to repay the fund all the money withdrawn with interest thereon as above prescribed, he or she shall receive no credit for his or her years of service prior to his or she reentry into the fire or police department, but he or she shall be deemed a new employee and a new member of the fund as of the date of his or her reemployment as a paid firefighter or policeman. Firefighters or policemen absent from the service for a period of two years or more are ineligible to participate in a pension fund other than as a new member.

(c) Any member of the pension fund who, upon ceasing to be a firefighter or policeman, withdraws the money which he or she has contributed to the fund, upon reentering the fire or police service, within 30 days, may repay to the fund all the money so withdrawn with interest at the rate of six percent per annum from the date of withdrawal to the date of his or her reemployment, and thereby be readmitted to the membership in the fund with all the credit for his or her prior service. In the event a person who has previously withdrawn the monies he had paid into the fund becomes a firefighter or policeman again and fails to repay the fund all the money withdrawn with interest thereon as above prescribed, he or she shall receive no credit for his or her years of service prior to his or she reentry into the fire or police department, but he or she shall be deemed a new employee and a new member of the fund as of the date of his or her reemployment as a paid firefighter or policeman. Firefighters or policemen absent from the service for a period of two years or more are ineligible to participate in a pension fund other than as a new member.

(d) Any person who is presently employed as a firefighter or policeman on October 1, 1975, who has previously served his or her employment with the fire or police department and withdrawn his or her retirement monies and reentered service as a new member of the fund who desires to reinstate his or her prior service credit may do so, provided that within 90 days after October 1, 1975, he or she repays all the pension monies withdrawn from the fund, with interest at the rate of six percent per annum. If he or she also repays monies that he or she would have paid into the fund during the period of his or her absence from service he or she will be given full continuing service credit from the time of the beginning of his or her previous employment in the fire or police service toward pension benefits under the fund. If, however, he or she repays the monies withdrawn from the fund but does not repay the monies that he or she would have paid during his or her absence from the service, then he or she shall only have credit for service rendered prior to the time he or she left the fire or police service.
