Status: in_force

The Legislature finds and declares it to be the policy of the state, as it relates to Morgan County, consistent with its duty to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the residents of Morgan County, to protect the water of public water supply systems from contamination by hazardous materials including, but not limited to, any oil, gasoline, diesel fuel, aviation fuel, or petroleum product. The Legislature further finds that accidental spills or discharge of hazardous materials, if and when they may occur, pose a significant and unacceptable risk to public water supply systems and thus to the public health and safety of the residents of Morgan County and, where the transport to, storage in, and distribution from a storage facility occur from sites that are in close proximity to intake facilities of public water supply systems in Morgan County, that any spills or other releases of such sub-stances would likely be ingested into the public water systems of municipalities lying within or partly within Morgan County. As a consequence of potential contamination risks, protection areas should be established by the Legislature around the source water public water system intake facility of any municipality in Morgan County in order to reduce or prevent the risk of contamination of the public water supply of the residents of Morgan County.

(b) A person who receives a notice of violation may contest the imposition of the fine by submitting a request for an administrative hearing of the civil violation, in writing, within 15 days of the 10th day after the date the notice of violation is mailed. Upon receipt of a timely request, the city or its designee shall notify the person of the date and time of the administrative hearing by U.S. mail.

(c) Failure to pay a fine or to contest liability in a timely manner is an admission of liability in the full amount of the fine assessed in the notice of violation.

(d) Any fine imposed pursuant to this part shall not be collected if, after a hearing, the Administrative Hearing Officer appointed by the Mayor of the city enters a finding of no liability.

(e) If an administrative hearing is requested, the city shall have the burden of proving the traffic signal violation, stop sign violation, or speeding violation by a preponderance of the evidence. The reliability of the photographic traffic signal enforcement system or photographic stop sign enforcement system used to produce the recorded image of the violation may be attested to by affidavit of a trained technician. An affidavit of a trained technician that alleges a violation based on an inspection of the pertinent recorded image is admissible in a proceeding under this part and is evidence of the facts contained in the affidavit.

(f) The notice of violation, the recorded and reproduced images of the traffic signal violation, stop sign violation, or speeding violation, regardless of the media on which they are recorded, accompanied by a certification of authenticity of a trained technician, and evidence of ownership of a vehicle as shown by copies or summaries of official records shall be admissible into evidence without foundation unless the Administrative Hearing Officer finds there is an indication of untrustworthiness, in which case the city shall be given a reasonable opportunity to lay an evidentiary foundation.

(g) All other matters of evidence and procedure not specifically addressed in this part shall be subject to the rules of evidence and the rules of procedure as they apply in the small claims courts of this state, except that on any petition to Jefferson County Circuit Court for trial de novo, the evidence and procedures shall be as for any civil case in the district court except as otherwise provided in this part.

A person who is found liable for a civil violation after an administrative hearing shall pay the fine and costs within 10 days of the hearing.

(i) Whenever payment of a fine is owed to the city, the amount of the fine as set by ordinance may not be increased, decreased, or abated by the city, and the liability may be satisfied only by payment.

(j) It shall be an affirmative defense to the imposition of civil liability under this part, to be proven by a preponderance of the evidence, that one or more of the following conditions existed:

(1) The traffic control signal was not in proper position and sufficiently visible to an ordinarily observant person.

(2) The operator of the motor vehicle was acting in compliance with the lawful order or direction of a police officer.

(3) The operator of the motor vehicle violated the instructions of the traffic control signal so as to yield the right-of-way to an immediately approaching authorized emergency vehicle.

(4) The motor vehicle was being operated as an authorized emergency vehicle under Sections 32-5A-7 and 32-5-213, and that the operator was acting in compliance with those sections.

(5) The motor vehicle was stolen or being operated by a person other than the owner of the vehicle without the effective consent of the owner.

(6) The license plate depicted in the recorded image of the violation was a stolen plate and being displayed on a motor vehicle other than the motor vehicle for which the plate had been issued.

(7) The presence of ice, snow, unusual amounts of rain, or other unusually hazardous road conditions existed that would make compliance with this part more dangerous under the circumstances than noncompliance.

(8) There was no sign installed as required by this act near the location at which the violation allegedly occurred warning that a photographic traffic signal enforcement system was being used.

(k) To establish that at the time of the violation the motor vehicle was a stolen vehicle or the license plate displayed on the motor vehicle was a stolen plate, the owner must submit proof acceptable to the hearing officer that the theft of the vehicle or license plate, prior to the time of the violation or promptly following the theft, had been timely reported to the appropriate law enforcement agency.

(l) No person who rents to another person or is the lessor of a motor vehicle pursuant to a written lease agreement, nor any affiliates thereof, shall be liable for a photographic stop sign traffic enforcement system, photographic vehicle speed enforcement system, or photographic traffic signal enforcement system violation involving such motor vehicle during the period of the rental or lease, provided that upon request of the city or its designee received within 60 days after the violation occurred, such person provides to the city within 30 days after receipt of such request the name and address of the renter or lessee of such motor vehicle. The driver’s license number of the renter or lessee may be subsequently specifically requested by the city or its designee if needed for the enforcement of this part. Upon the provision by the lessor, its affiliate, or its designee, of the information as described in this subsection, the city or its designee may issue a new notice of violation to the renter or lessee of the vehicle in the same manner it would issue a notice of violation to an owner pursuant to Section 45-37A-42.04, except that the notice will be sent no later than 30 days after receiving the renter’s or lessee’s information from the person, or any affiliate thereof, who rented or leased the motor vehicle. The renter or lessee may be held liable for the violation in the same manner that an owner may be held liable pursuant hereto.

(m) Notwithstanding anything in this part to the contrary, a person who fails to pay the amount of a fine or to contest liability in a timely manner is nevertheless entitled to an administrative hearing on the violation in either of the following circumstances:

(1) The person files a sworn affidavit with the hearing officer stating the date on which the person received the notice of violation that was mailed to the person, if such notice was not received by the 10th day after same was mailed as set out in subsection (a) of Section 45-37A-42.04.

(2) Within 15 days of the date of actual receipt of such notice, such person requests an administrative hearing.

Section 45-37-123.131 Maximum Annual Benefit
Status: in_force

(a) Notwithstanding the foregoing and subject to the exceptions and adjustments below, effective for limitation years ending after December 31, 2001, the annual benefit otherwise payable to a member under the plan at any time shall not exceed the maximum annual benefit, and if the benefit a member would otherwise accrue in a limitation year would produce an annual benefit in excess of the maximum annual benefit, the benefit shall be limited, or the rate of accrual reduced, to a benefit that does not exceed the maximum annual benefit. The maximum annual benefit payable to a member under the plan in any limitation year shall equal the defined benefit dollar limitation. The defined benefit dollar limitation is one hundred sixty thousand dollars ($160,000), as adjusted, effective January 1 of each year, under § 415(d), Internal Revenue Code, in such manner as the secretary shall prescribe, and payable in the form of a straight life annuity. Such dollar limitation as adjusted under § 415(d), Internal Revenue Code, shall apply to limitation years ending with or within the calendar year for which the adjustment applies.

(b) For purposes of applying the limitations of § 415, Internal Revenue Code, the limitation year shall be the calendar year. All qualified plans maintained by the county shall use the same limitation year. If the limitation year is amended to a different 12 consecutive month period, the new limitation year shall begin on a date within the limitation year in which the amendment is made.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this subpart to the contrary, if the plan was in existence on May 6, 1986, and had complied at all times with the requirements of § 415, Internal Revenue Code, the maximum annual benefit for any individual who is a member as of the first day of the limitation year beginning after December 31, 1986, shall not be less than the current accrued benefit. Current accrued benefit shall mean a member’s accrued benefit under the plan, determined as if the member had separated from service as of the close of the last limitation year beginning before January 1, 1987, when expressed as an annual benefit within the meaning of § 415(b)(2), Internal Revenue Code. In determining the amount of a member’s current accrued benefit, the following shall be disregarded: Any change in the terms and conditions of the plan after May 5, 1986; and any cost-of-living adjustment occurring after May 5, 1986.

(d)(1) For the purpose of this subpart, all qualified defined benefit plans, whether terminated or not, ever maintained by the county shall be treated as one defined benefit plan.

(2) If a member is, or has ever been, a member in more than one defined benefit plan maintained by the county, the sum of the member’s annual benefits from all such plans may not exceed the maximum annual benefit of this section. Where the member’s county provided benefits under all defined benefit plans ever maintained by the county, determined as of the same age, would exceed the maximum annual benefit applicable at that age, the county shall reduce the rate of accrual in the plan to the extent necessary so that the total annual benefit payable at any time under such plans shall not exceed the maximum annual benefit.

(e) For the purpose of this subpart, if the county is a member of a controlled group of corporations, trades, or businesses under common control, as defined by § 1563(a) or § 414(b) and (c) as modified by § 415(h), Internal Revenue Code, or is a member of an affiliated service group, as defined by § 414(m), Internal Revenue Code, all employees of such employers shall be considered to be employed by a single employer.

(f) Notwithstanding anything contained in this subpart to the contrary, the limitations, adjustments, and other requirements prescribed in this subpart shall at all times comply with § 415, Internal Revenue Code, and the regulations thereunder.

(g) Effect on members of Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001 (EGTRRA) increase in § 415(b), Internal Revenue Code limitations. Effective for limitation years ending after December 31, 2001, benefit increases resulting from the increase in the limitations of § 415(b), Internal Revenue Code, on account of the EGTRRA shall be provided to all current and former members, with benefits limited by § 415(b), Internal Revenue Code, who have an accrued benefit under the plan immediately prior to the effective date of this subpart, other than an accrued benefit resulting from a benefit increase solely as a result of the increases in limitations under § 415(b), Internal Revenue Code.

Section 45-37A-51.226 Extraordinary Disability Allowance
Status: in_force

(a) Extraordinary disability allowance for participants joining the system prior to January 1, 1989.

(1) In the event a participant who joins the system prior to January 1, 1989, shall become totally disabled to perform his or her customary duties by reason of personal injury received as a result of an accident arising out of and in the course of his or her employment in the service and occurring at a definite time and place, then in the event such total disability shall continue until the participant ceases to draw salary as an employee of the city, such disabled participant shall be entitled to a monthly allowance from the fund equal to 70 percent of his or her monthly salary at the time of the accident which resulted in such total disability, subject to the offset for any workers’ compensation benefit or other such disability benefit payable by the city as set forth hereafter.

(2) Benefits payable hereunder shall commence upon the cessation of the disabled participant’s drawing a salary from the city and shall continue until such time as such participant is no longer disabled by such injury to perform his or her customary duties or substantially comparable duties at the same or greater salary or wage. If, however, such disabled participant, during the continuation of such disability, should be separated from the service of the city and should the disability cease to exist, the board, in its discretion, may continue him or her on the disability rolls until such time as in the judgment of the board he or she is able to find suitable employment at a rate of pay equal or in excess of his or her disability allowance.

(3) Application for an extraordinary disability allowance shall be made within 12 months after the accident resulting in such disability and if granted shall be granted within 12 months after the accident resulting in such disability. Applications for injuries prior to January 1, 1989, received thereafter shall not be considered and no extraordinary disability allowance shall be awarded with respect thereto.

(4) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, an extraordinary disability allowance heretofore or hereafter granted shall be computed and paid throughout the continuance of such disability as provided and at the rate prescribed by the law in effect at the time of the commencement of such disability. If any extraordinary disability beneficiary should become separated from the service and withdraw his or her contributions, his or her right to continuance of disability benefits shall immediately cease.

(b) Extraordinary disability allowance for participants joining the system on or after January 1, 1989.

(1) In the event a participant who joins the system on or after January 1, 1989, shall become totally disabled to perform his or her customary duties by reason of personal injury received as a result of an accident arising out of and in the course of his or her employment in the service and occurring at a definite time and place, then in the event such total disability shall continue until the participant ceases to draw salary as an employee of the city, such disabled participant shall be entitled to a monthly allowance from the fund

equal to 70 percent of his or her monthly salary at the time of the application for extraordinary disability benefits arising from the accident which resulted in such total disability. If such participant shall be eligible for extraordinary disability benefits subsequent to August 1, 2009, the extraordinary disability benefit shall be subject to the offset for any workers’ compensation benefit or other such disability benefit payable by the city as set forth hereafter.

(2) Benefits shall not be payable hereunder during any period that a disabled participant is able to perform other duties in his or her job classification or the customary duties of another job with that participant’s employer, which other duties or job has been offered to participant and which job pays a salary or wage equal to or greater than the salary or wage such participant was earning at the time of the application for the extraordinary disability benefits arising from the accident causing the disability.

(3) Benefits payable hereunder shall commence upon the cessation of the disabled participant’s drawing a salary from the city and shall continue until such time as such participant is no longer disabled by such injury to perform his or her customary or other duties, substantially comparable duties, or a substitute job as described above. If, however, such disabled participant, during the continuation of such disability, should be separated from the service of the city and should the disability cease to exist, the board, in its discretion, may continue him or her on the disability rolls until such time as in the judgment of the board he or she is able to find suitable employment with an employer at a rate of pay equal or in excess of his or her disability allowance.

(4) Upon employment by any employer, for which the disabled participant receives wages or other compensation or both, from the new employer, for duties which are alike and substantially similar to the work or job functions performed for the city by the disabled participant at the time the application for extraordinary disability was filed with the pension system under this subpart, the amount of the extraordinary disability benefit payable to the disabled participant shall be reduced by the amount, dollar for dollar, in cash or other types of compensation for which the disabled employee is required to pay taxes to the federal government, so that the extraordinary disability benefit is offset up to the total amount of the extraordinary disability benefit payable under this section.

(5) Further, should the disabled participant who is eligible to receive an extraordinary disability benefit under this section also receive workers’ compensation or other such benefit from the city, which is based upon the same injury giving rise to an extraordinary disability benefit under this section, the fund shall be entitled to reduce the extraordinary disability benefit payable to such disabled participant, dollar for dollar for each amount due to the disabled participant. For the purposes of calculating the amount of monthly reduction in extraordinary disability benefits, the weekly wage under the Workers’ Compensation Act or other such benefit shall be converted into a yearly wage by multiplying the weekly wage by 52 weeks in a year and then dividing the yearly wage by 12 for the monthly amount. The monthly amount of workers’ compensation or other such benefit paid by the city shall be subtracted from the extraordinary disability benefit due to the disabled participant to arrive at the new amount of extraordinary disability benefit due to such disabled participant from the fund while the disabled participant remains disabled under this section. If the disabled participant receives full extraordinary disability benefits, prior to receiving workers’ compensation, or other such benefit from the city, the fund shall be due a refund from the disabled participant through a reduction in the extraordinary disability benefit based upon the amount of monthly benefit, as calculated above, the disabled participant received from the city for workers’ compensation, or other such benefits, for the same period full payment was made by the fund under this section.

(6)a. Application for an extraordinary disability allowance shall be made within 12 months after the accident resulting in such disability and if granted shall be granted within 12 months after the accident resulting in such disability. For injuries occurring after January 1, 1989, the board of managers, in its sole discretion, may choose to waive this one-year limitation and grant an application for extraordinary disability allowance if granted within 36 months after the incident resulting in such disability. Applications received thereafter shall not be considered and no extraordinary disability allowance shall be awarded with respect thereto.

b. Effective January 1, 2005, the board has the discretion to waive the 36-month period and to grant extraordinary disability benefits if the application for the extraordinary disability benefits arising from the accident is filed within 60 months of the accident resulting in such disability; provided that such accident resulting in disability occurred and application for an extraordinary benefit has been filed for an accident which occurred prior to August 1, 2009.

(7) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, an extraordinary disability allowance heretofore or hereafter granted shall be computed and paid throughout the continuance of such disability as provided and at the rate prescribed by the law in effect at the time of the commencement of such disability. If any extraordinary disability beneficiary should become separated from the service and withdraw his or her contributions, his or her right to continuance of disability benefits shall immediately cease.

(c) Extraordinary disability allowance for participants joining the system on or after July 1, 2005. In addition to the provision set forth in subsection (b), the board, in its discretion, in determining an application for extraordinary disability, may consider whether or not the applicant for extraordinary disability has other physical ailments, illnesses, diseases, or other maladies which contribute to the participant’s inability to perform job functions. In circumstances in which, in addition to the injuries in an accident sustained by the participant while performing job functions, there is present in the participant other significant illnesses, diseases, or other maladies which are contributing causes for the participant’s inability to perform job functions, the board, in its discretion, may offset, or reduce the total amount of the extraordinary benefit below 70 percent of the salary at the time of the application based upon the amount the other physical ailments contribute to the participant’s inability to perform job functions for the city. The board may base its decision upon the opinion of a medical expert in the field of job-related injuries. In no event shall the extraordinary disability in such cases be less than that due for ordinary disability.

(d) Certain extraordinary disability benefits for firefighters. Nothing contained in this section shall be interpreted to be in contradiction with or shall alter or replace certain benefits allowed to firefighters pursuant to Section11-43-144, who are not eligible for workers’ compensation or any other such disability benefit from the city.

(e) Subsections (b) and (c) apply to all employees who are participants in the fund on August 1, 2009, who are not currently receiving extraordinary disability.

(f) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the time for the filing of the application for extraordinary disability benefits on account from an accident occurring subsequent to August 1, 2009, shall be within 24 months from the date of the accident causing injury which is the basis of the application for extraordinary disability benefits or the board shall not be able to consider the application.
