13  of all temporary and total and permanent disability
14  benefits granted during the most recent year for which

16  4. The percentage of earnings of the participating
17  employees of all participating municipalities and

22  fixed.

1  instrumentality for its sheriff's law enforcement employees.
2  A separate municipality contribution rate shall be
3  computed for the sheriff's law enforcement employees of each
4  forest preserve district that elects to have such employees.
5  For the period from January 1, 1986 to December 31, 1986, such
6  rate shall be the forest preserve district's regular rate plus

9  actuarial deficiency in the account of any municipality with
10  respect to a person who has elected to participate in the Fund
11  under Section 3-109.1 of this Code, the Board may adjust the
12  municipality's contribution rate so as to make up that
13  deficiency over such reasonable period of time as the Board
14  may determine.
15  (d) The Board may establish a separate municipality
16  contribution rate for all employees who are program
17  participants employed under the federal Comprehensive
18  Employment Training Act by all of the participating
19  municipalities and instrumentalities. The Board may also
20  provide that, in lieu of a separate municipality rate for
21  these employees, a portion of the municipality contributions
22  for such program participants shall be refunded or an extra
23  charge assessed so that the amount of municipality
24  contributions retained or received by the fund for all CETA
25  program participants shall be an amount equal to that which
26  would be provided by the separate municipality contribution

1  rate for all such program participants. Refunds shall be made
2  to prime sponsors of programs upon submission of a claim
3  therefor and extra charges shall be assessed to participating
4  municipalities and instrumentalities. In establishing the
5  municipality contribution rate as provided in paragraph (b) of
6  this Section, the use of a separate municipality contribution
7  rate for program participants or the refund of a portion of the
8  municipality contributions, as the case may be, may be
9  considered.
10  (e) Computations of municipality contribution rates for
11  the following calendar year shall be made prior to the
12  beginning of each year, from the information available at the
13  time the computations are made, and on the assumption that the
14  employees in each participating municipality or participating
15  instrumentality at such time will continue in service until
16  the end of such calendar year at their respective rates of
17  earnings at such time.
18  (f) Any municipality which is the recipient of State
19  allocations representing that municipality's contributions for
20  retirement annuity purposes on behalf of its employees as
21  provided in Section 12-21.16 of the Illinois Public Aid Code
22  shall pay the allocations so received to the Board for such
23  purpose. Estimates of State allocations to be received during
24  any taxable year shall be considered in the determination of
25  the municipality's tax rate for that year under Section 7-171.
26  If a special tax is levied under Section 7-171, none of the

1  proceeds may be used to reimburse the municipality for the
2  amount of State allocations received and paid to the Board.
3  Any multiple-county or consolidated health department which
4  receives contributions from a county under Section 11.2 of "An
5  Act in relation to establishment and maintenance of county and
6  multiple-county health departments", approved July 9, 1943, as
7  amended, or distributions under Section 3 of the Department of
8  Public Health Act, shall use these only for municipality
9  contributions by the health department.
10  (g) Municipality contributions for the several purposes
11  specified shall, for township treasurers and employees in the
12  offices of the township treasurers who meet the qualifying
13  conditions for coverage hereunder, be allocated among the
14  several school districts and parts of school districts
15  serviced by such treasurers and employees in the proportion
16  which the amount of school funds of each district or part of a
17  district handled by the treasurer bears to the total amount of
18  all school funds handled by the treasurer.
19  From the funds subject to allocation among districts and
20  parts of districts pursuant to the School Code, the trustees
21  shall withhold the proportionate share of the liability for
22  municipality contributions imposed upon such districts by this
23  Section, in respect to such township treasurers and employees
24  and remit the same to the Board.
25  The municipality contribution rate for an educational
26  service center shall initially be the same rate for each year

4  subparagraph (i) of this Section.
5  The municipality contribution rate for a public agency,
6  other than a vocational education cooperative, formed under
7  the Intergovernmental Cooperation Act shall initially be the
8  average rate for the municipalities which are parties to the
9  intergovernmental agreement. When actuarial data become
10  available, a separate rate shall be established as provided in
11  subparagraph (i) of this Section.
12  (h) Each participating municipality and participating
13  instrumentality shall make the contributions in the amounts
14  provided in this Section in the manner prescribed from time to
15  time by the Board and all such contributions shall be
16  obligations of the respective participating municipalities and
17  participating instrumentalities to this fund. The failure to
18  deduct any employee contributions shall not relieve the
19  participating municipality or participating instrumentality of
20  its obligation to this fund. Delinquent payments of
21  contributions due under this Section may, with interest, be
22  recovered by civil action against the participating
23  municipalities or participating instrumentalities.

7  and the amount payable under subparagraph 4 of paragraph (a)
8  of this Section, shall be based on an amortization period of 10
9  years.
10  (j) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section,
11  the additional unfunded liability accruing as a result of
12  Public Act 94-712 shall be amortized over a period of 30 years
13  beginning on January 1 of the second calendar year following
14  the calendar year in which Public Act 94-712 takes effect,
15  except that the employer may provide for a longer amortization
16  period by adopting a resolution or ordinance specifying a
17  35-year or 40-year period and submitting a certified copy of
18  the ordinance or resolution to the fund no later than June 1 of
19  the calendar year following the calendar year in which Public

2  participating municipality or participating instrumentality
3  that paid those earnings shall pay to the Fund, in addition to
4  any other contributions required under this Article, the
5  present value of the increase in the pension resulting from
6  the portion of the increase in reported earnings that is in
7  excess of the greater of 6% or 1.5 times the annual increase in
8  the Consumer Price Index-U, as determined by the Fund. This
9  present value shall be computed on the basis of the actuarial
10  assumptions and tables used in the most recent actuarial
11  valuation of the Fund that is available at the time of the
12  computation.
13  Whenever it determines that a payment is or may be
14  required under this subsection (k), the fund shall calculate
15  the amount of the payment and bill the participating
16  municipality or participating instrumentality for that amount.
17  The bill shall specify the calculations used to determine the
18  amount due. If the participating municipality or participating
19  instrumentality disputes the amount of the bill, it may,
20  within 30 days after receipt of the bill, apply to the fund in
21  writing for a recalculation. The application must specify in
22  detail the grounds of the dispute. Upon receiving a timely
23  application for recalculation, the fund shall review the
24  application and, if appropriate, recalculate the amount due.

2  receipt of the bill. If the participating municipality and
3  participating instrumentality contributions are not paid
4  within 90 days after receipt of the bill, then interest will be
5  charged at a rate equal to the fund's annual actuarially
6  assumed rate of return on investment compounded annually from
7  the 91st day after receipt of the bill. Payments must be
8  concluded within 3 years after receipt of the bill by the
9  participating municipality or participating instrumentality.
10  When assessing payment for any amount due under this
11  subsection (k), the fund shall exclude earnings increases
12  resulting from overload or overtime earnings.

15  resulting from payments for unused vacation time, but only for
16  payments for unused vacation time made in the final 3 months of
17  the final rate of earnings period.

19  subsection (k), the fund shall also exclude earnings increases
20  attributable to standard employment promotions resulting in
21  increased responsibility and workload.
