Such contributions shall be made in accordance with a plan that shall be established by the Borough of Mountain Lakes pursuant to P.L. 1997, c. 388. The said plan shall be administered in accordance with the laws of the State of New Jersey, the United States Internal Revenue Code and this chapter.
The LOSAP shall provide for annual contributions to each eligible member who meets the following criteria:
