Whenever it determines that a payment is or may be

the amount of the payment and bill the participating

17
The bill shall specify the calculations used to determine the

21
writing for a recalculation. The application must specify in

Sec. 7-205.
Reserves for annuities.
Appropriate reserves
2
shall be created for payment of all annuities granted under
3
this Article at the time such annuities are granted and in
4
amounts determined to be necessary under actuarial tables
5
adopted by the Board upon recommendation of the actuary of the
6
fund. All annuities payable shall be charged to the annuity

reserve.
8

1. Amounts credited to annuity reserves shall be derived
9
by transfer of all the employee credits from the appropriate
10
employee reserves and by charges to the municipality reserve
11
of those municipalities in which the retiring employee has
12
accumulated service. If a retiring employee has accumulated
13
service in more than one participating municipality or
14
participating instrumentality, the municipality charges for
15
non-concurrent service shall be calculated as follows:
16

(A) for purposes of calculating the annuity reserve,
17

an annuity will be calculated based on service and
18

adjusted earnings with each employer (without regard to
19

the vesting requirement contained in subsection (a) of

Section 7-142); and

(B) the difference between the municipality charges

municipality charges based upon the ratio of each from

those calculations to the aggregated total from paragraph

2. Supplemental annuities shall be handled as a separate
6
annuity and amounts to be credited to the annuity reserve
7
therefor shall be derived in the same manner as a regular
8
annuity.
9

3. When a retirement annuity is granted to an employee
10
with a spouse eligible for a surviving spouse annuity, there
11
shall be credited to the annuity reserve an amount to fund the
12
cost of both the retirement and surviving spouse annuity as a
13
joint and survivors annuity.
14

4. Beginning January 1, 1989, when a retirement annuity is
15
awarded, an amount equal to the present value of the
$8,000

($3,000 for those who first retired prior to the effective

24
required therein by such revaluation shall be charged or

credited to the earnings and experience variation reserve.

reserve shall be transferred to the municipality reserves. An
7
amount equal to the deficiency in the reserve of participating

municipalities and participating instrumentalities which have

no participating employees shall be allocated to their
