Hon. F. Paul Goodland, Mayor
and Members of the Ames City Council
In Re:Utility Retirement System
Codification error, words to
Replace "his".
Dear Mayor Goodland and Council Members,
When the ordinance codification of 1980 was prepared the pronoun "his"
was removed and replaced with alternative wording wherever appropriate.
However, when the word "his" was removed from section 28. 78(1) and sec.
28.80 alternative words were not substituted. The attached ordinance is
proposed to correct the resultant ambiguity. This matter came to light
when the family members of an employee who died before reaching retire-
ment age sought payment of not only the employees contribution, but also
an amount corresponding to the city contribution to the system cost.
Respectfully Submitted,
John R. laus —
City Attorney
