  • Membership requirements;
  • Employer and member contribution rates for each component of the plan, including phased future increases for specified rates;
  • The purchase of service credit by members;
  • Vesting and retirement eligibility requirements;
  • Annual actuarial valuation of the plan;
  • Actions that may be taken by the board of the association to ensure that the plan is fully funded on an actuarially sound basis;
  • Pension and optional survivor benefits;
  • Late and deferred retirement options;
  • Cost of living adjustments;
  • Refunds of contributions to members; and
  • Modification of the plan by the board of the association.
