RESOLUTION NO. 2015-26
RESOLUTION SUPPORTING THE EDEN PRAIRIE FIRE RELIEF ASSOCIATION
BOARD OF DIRECTORS' EFFORTS TO SEEK LEGISLATION REMOVING OR
INCREASING THE LUMP SUM PENSION PAYOUT CAP OF 510,000
WHEREAS, MN Statute 424A.02 Subd. 3(d) sets a lump sum pension payout cap of
$10,000 for Fire Relief Association retirees; and
WHEREAS, eliminating or increasing the cap would allow Eden Prairie Fire Relief
Association to consider raising lump sum payouts to more closely match monthly defined
benefits; and
WHEREAS, such a change in the lump sum payout cap would encourage more retirees
to consider choosing the lump sum payout; and
WHEREAS, having more retirees choose the lump sum payout would help reduce Fire
Relief Associations' total plan liability over the long term.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Eden
Prairie, Minnesota, that the City Council hereby supports the efforts of the Eden Prairie Fire
Relief Association Board of Trustees to seek legislation removing or increasing the lump sum
pension payout cap of$10,000.
Adopted by the City Council of the City of Eden Prairie, Minnesota this 20"' day of
January, 2014.
