Council Meeting Minutes -9- June 13, 2005 COMMUNICATIONS Resolution #C-299-05 Moved by Councillor Pingle, seconded by Councillor Robinson THAT Correspondence Item I -11 be received for information. "CARRIED" 1-22 A01.AM Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO), advising Council of higher costs for municipalities, municipal employees and property tax payers as the Provincial government introduced a Bill to reduce its oversight role in the Ontario Municipal Employees Retirement System (OMERS) and permit additional pension benefits for some plan members. The Bill would change OMERS in two very significant ways: First, changes to its governance structure would allow the Government of Ontario to withdraw from its responsibilities as the plan's sponsor, and its responsibility as an indirect employer of thousands of OMERS members. Administrative costs currently borne by the Province would become the responsibility of a "Sponsor's Corporation" of employer and employee plan "sponsors" who will have to create new capacity where none currently exists. In addition, the Government would no longer be responsible for approving contribution rate increases such as a substantial and costly increase being considered for 2006. Second, the Bill provides for the creation of supplemental plans requested by some employee groups. The supplementary plans would provide additional retirement benefits for fire fighters and police officers. The supplemental plans would be separate from, and in addition to, the OMERS Basic plan, which would also create additional administrative complexity and, therefore, higher operational costs. Resolution #C-300-05 Moved by Councillor Trim, seconded by Councillor Schell THAT Correspondence Item I - 22 be received; and THAT OMERS be requested to allow the Municipality of Clarington the opportunity for input. "CARRIED" . Council Meeting Minutes -10- June 13,2005 COMMUNICATIONS 1-29 L 11.GE Ministry of Labour, advising Council that the McGuinty government is introducing legislation that would end mandatory retirement and provide a greater fairness and choice for workers aged 65 and older. The Ontario Human Rights Code currently does not protect people aged 65 and over from age discrimination for employment purposes. As a result, employees can be forced to retire at age 65. If passed, the proposed legislation would amend the code and a variety of other statutes that have provisions connected to mandatory retirement. Among other things, the legislation would: . Become effective one year after it receives Royal assent; . Continue to allow mandatory retirement where it can be justified on "bona fide occupational requirement" grounds determined under the Human Rights Code (i.e. where there is a requirement or qualification necessary for the performance of essential job duties ).
