NOTE 6 – LONG-TERM LIABILITIES – continued

The debt service required payments to maturity on the City's outstanding revenue bonds and notes at September 30, 2015 is as follows:

The City maintains a single-employer, defined-benefit pension plan which covers substantially all of the City’s full-time employees (General Employees’ Retirement Plan), a single-employer, defined-benefit plan which covers all of its full-time certified police officers (Municipal Police Officers’ Retirement Plan) and a single-employer, defined-benefit plan which covers all of its full-time certified firefighters (Municipal Firefighters’ Retirement Plan). Each of the retirement plans is administered by its Board of Trustees, subject, however, and, in any event, to the authority and power of the Apopka City Council. Each plan’s assets may be used only for the payment of plan administrative costs and benefits to the members of that plan, in accordance with the terms of the plan. Benefits and refunds of contributions to the members of the applicable plan are recognized at the date they become due and payable specific to the terms of the plan. None of the aforementioned retirement plans issues a stand-alone financial report, nor are they included in the report of a Public Employee Retirement System, or any other entity.

A. Plan Description and Membership 1. General Employees’ Retirement Plan

The General Employees’ Retirement Plan (“Plan”) was established on October 16, 1976 for all regular, full-time employees not covered by the Municipal Police Officers’ Retirement Plan or the Municipal Firefighters’ Retirement Plan.

All full-time employees who have attained the age of 57 and 5 years of credited service are entitled to annual benefits of 2.75% of the average of the 5 final years of salary, times years of credited service, subject to a maximum of 100% of average final compensation in the form of a life annuity, ceasing upon death. Early retirement is available for employees attaining the age of 47 with 10 years of service. The early retirement benefit is in the form of a life annuity (options available). A delayed retirement may be elected where the employee remains actively employed and benefits continue to accrue after the normal retirement date. In the event of pre-retirement death and the employee is eligible for normal or early retirement, a beneficiary is eligible to receive a benefit as if the member retired on the date of death. If the employee is not eligible for the normal or early retirement at the time of pre-retirement death, the Plan provides for a refund of any employee contributions. Participation in the Deferred Retirement Option Plan (“DROP”) may not exceed 96 months. Each participant in the DROP has an account credited with benefits not received and investment earnings. The DROP balance as of September 30, 2015 is

$842,476.
