SECTION 13. TMRS Findings. The following recitals are hereby found to be true and correct and are
hereby adopted by the City Council and made a part hereof for all purposes as findings of fact:
Whereas, the City of Corpus Christi, Texas (the "City"), elected to participate in the Texas Municipal
Retirement System (the "System" or "TMRS") pursuant to Subtitle G of Title 8, Texas Government Code,
as amended (which subtitle is referred to as the "TMRS Act"); and
Whereas, each person who is or becomes an employee of the City on or after the effective date of the
City's participation in the System in a position that normally requires services of 1,000 hours or more
per year ("Employee") shall be a member of the System ("Member") as a condition of their employment;
and
Whereas, the City Council finds that it is in the public interest to: (1) in accordance with TMRS Act
§§853.401 through 853.404 and §854.203(h), reauthorize annually accruing Updated Service Credits
and provide transfer Updated Service Credits, and (2) in accordance with TMRS Act §854.203,
authorize an annuity increase, also referred to as a cost of living adjustment ("COLA") for retirees and
their beneficiaries.
SECTION 14. Authorization of Annually Accruing Updated Service Credits and Transfer Updated
Service Credits.
(a) As authorized by TMRS Act §854.203(h) and §853.404, and on the terms and conditions set out in
TMRS Act §§853.401 through 853.404, the City authorizes each Member of the System who on the first
day of January of the calendar year immediately preceding the January 1 on which the Updated Service
Credits will take effect (i) has current service credit or prior service credit in the System by reason of
service to the City, (ii) has at least 36 months of credited service with the System, and (iii) is a TMRS-
contributing Employee of the City, to receive "Updated Service Credit," as that term is defined and
calculated in accordance with TMRS Act §853.402.
(b) The City authorizes and provides that each Employee of the City who (i) is eligible for Updated
Service Credits under Subsection (a) above, and (ii) who has unforfeited prior service credit and/or
current service credit with another System -participating municipality or municipalities by reason of
previous employment, shall be credited with Updated Service Credits pursuant to, calculated in
accordance with, and subject to adjustment as set forth in TMRS Act §853.601 (also known as "Transfer
USC"), both as to the initial grant and all future grants under this Ordinance.
(c) Each Updated Service Credit authorized and provided under this Ordinance shall be 100% of the
"base Updated Service Credit" of the TMRS Member calculated as provided in TMRS Act §853.402.
(d) The Updated Service Credit authorized and provided by this Ordinance shall replace any Updated
Service Credit, prior service credit, special prior service credit, or antecedent service credit previously
authorized for part of the same service.
(e) The initial Updated Service Credit authorized by this Section shall be effective on January 1
immediately following the year in which this Ordinance is approved, subject to receipt by the System
prior to such January 1 and approval by the Board of Trustees ("Board") of the System. Pursuant to
Page 6 of 8
TMRS Act §853.404, the authorization and grant of Updated Service Credits in this Section shall be
effective on January 1 of each subsequent year, using the same percentage of the "base Updated
Service Credit" stated in Subsection (c) in computing Updated Service Credits for each future year,
provided that, as to such subsequent year, the actuary for the System has made the determination set
forth in TMRS Act §853.404(d), until this Ordinance ceases to be in effect as provided in TMRS Act
§853.404(e).
SECTION 15. Authorization of Increases in Retirement Annuities, or COLA.
(a) On the terms and conditions set out in TMRS Act §854.203, the City authorizes and provides for
payment of the increase described by this Section to the annuities paid to retired City Employees and
beneficiaries of deceased City retirees (such increase also called "cost of living adjustment" or "COLA").
An annuity increased under this Section replaces any annuity or increased annuity previously granted
to the same person.
(b) The amount of the annuity increase under this Section is computed as the sum of the prior service
and current service annuities on the effective date of retirement of the person on whose service the
annuities are based, multiplied by 30% of the percentage change in Consumer Price Index for All Urban
Consumers, from December of the year immediately preceding the effective date of the person's
retirement to the December that is 13 months before the effective date of the increase under this
Section.
(c) An increase in an annuity that was reduced because of an option selection is reducible in the same
proportion and in the same manner that the original annuity was reduced.
(d) If a computation under this Section does not result in an increase in the amount of an annuity, the
amount of the annuity will not be changed under this Section.
(e) The amount by which an increase under this Section exceeds all previously granted increases to
an annuitant is an obligation of the City and of its account in the benefit accumulation fund of the System.
(f) The increase in annuities authorized by this Section shall be effective on January 1 immediately
following the year in which this Ordinance is approved, subject to receipt by the System prior to such
January 1 and approval by the System's Board.
SECTION 16. If, for any reason, any section, paragraph, subdivision, clause, phrase, word, or provision
of this ordinance shall be held invalid or unconstitutional by final judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction, it shall not affect any other section, paragraph, subdivision, clause, phrase, word, or
provision of this ordinance, for it is the definite intent of this City Council that every section, paragraph,
subdivision, clause, phrase, word, or provision in this ordinance be given full force and effect for its
purpose.
SECTION 17. Upon final passage of this budget ordinance, a true and certified copy of this Operating
Budget shall be transmitted by the City Manager to the County Clerk of Nueces County, Texas, pursuant
to Section 102.011, Texas Local Government Code. The Operating Budget shall also be part of the
