The pension accumulation funds A and B shall be the funds to which shall be credited all payments to the system, exclusive of payments to the annuity savings fund and including contributions from employers and taxes from sheriffs and ex officio tax collectors on behalf of members of Plans A and B respectively. From each of these funds shall be paid the amounts required to be transferred to the annuity reserve funds as prescribed by Subsection C of this Section. (1) On account of each member there shall be paid periodically as determined by the board, but not less than annually, into the pension accumulation funds, an amount equal to the employer contributions. The rate of contributions as prescribed in Part III and IV shall be adjusted by the board as required, based on the liabilities of the system as shown by actuarial valuation. (2) Each sheriff and ex officio tax collector shall deduct one-fourth of one percent of the aggregate amount of the tax shown to be collected by the tax roll of each respective parish excepting Orleans Parish which money each respective sheriff shall turn over to the Municipal Employees' Retirement System of Louisiana periodically on an annual basis at the same time said sheriff disburses funds to the tax recipient bodies of his respective parish. (3) The board of trustees shall annually apportion and pay to the Employees' Retirement System of the city of Baton Rouge and the parish of East Baton Rouge a percentage of the taxes remitted by the sheriff of East Baton Rouge Parish to the Employees' Retirement System for the fiscal year, the amount of this percentage being arrived at by dividing the number of employees who are members of the Employees' Retirement System of the city of Baton Rouge and the parish of East Baton Rouge, excluding policemen and firemen, by the total number of employees of all other municipalities in the parish of East Baton Rouge plus the members of said system. (4) The taxes collected in accordance with Subsections 2 and 3, above, shall be apportioned between the pension accumulation funds A and B, based on the salary of members on which contributions were made for the previous fiscal year. C. The annuity reserve funds A and B shall be the funds in which shall be held the reserves for liabilities for retirees and beneficiaries of plans A and B, respectively. Upon retirement or death of a member the respective annuity reserve fund shall be credited with said member's accumulated contributions and the required additional amount from the respective pension accumulation fund, so as to provide for the benefits of the applicable plan. All benefits shall be paid to retirees or beneficiaries from the respective annuity reserve fund, including any refund of contributions upon death after retirement. Should a member, retired for disability, return to active employment at a rate of compensation not less than his final compensation at time of his last retirement, the balance of his accumulated contributions reduced by the member's annuity payments received, shall be transferred to the respective annuity savings fund and credited to his individual account therein.
