BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CORPUS CHRISTI,

SECTION 1. Pursuant to the provisions of Sections 62.105, 64.202(f),
64.204, 64.405, 64.406, and 64.410 of Subtitle G of Title 110B, Revised Civil
Statues of Texas, 1925, as amended by the 70th Legislature of the State of
Texas, Regular Session, which Subtitle shall herein be referred to as the "TMRS
Act," the City of Corpus Christi, Texas, adopts the following provisions
affecting participation of its employees in the Texas Municipal Retirement
System (which retirement system shall herein be referred to as the "System"):
(a) Any employee of this City who is a member of the System is eligible to
retire and receive a service retirement annuity, if the members has at least 25
years of credited service in that System performed for one or more
municipalities that have participation dates after September 1, 1987, or have
adopted a like provision under Section 64.202(f) of the TMRS Act.
(b) If a "vested member," as that term is defined in Section 64.204(b) of
the TMRS Act, shall die before becoming eligible for service retirement and
leaves surviving a lawful spouse whom the member has designated as beneficiary
entitled to payment of the member's accumulated contributions in event of the
member's death before retirement, the surviving spouse may by written notice
filed with the System elect to leave the accumulated deposits on deposit with
the System subject to the terms and conditions of said Section 64.204(b). If
the accumulated deposits have not been withdrawn before such time as the member,
if living, would have become entitled to service retirement, the surviving
spouse may elect to receive, in lieu of the accumulated deposits, an annuity
payable monthly thereafter during the lifetime of the surviving spouse in such
amount as would have been payable had the member lived and retired at that date
under a joint and survivor annuity (Option 1) payable during the lifetime of the
member and continuing thereafter during the lifetime of the surviving spouse.
(c) At any time before payment of the first monthly benefit of an annuity,
a surviving spouse to whom subsection (b) applies may, upon written application
filed with the System, receive payment of the accumulated contributions standing
to the account of the member in lieu of any benefits otherwise payable under
this section. In the event such a surviving spouse shall die before payment of
the first monthly benefit of an annuity allowed under this section, the
accumulated contributions credited to the account of the member shall be paid to
the estate of such spouse.
