WHEREAS, the State Employees' Retirement Act permits the participation
of municipal corporations in the State Employees' Retirement System, making
their employees members of said System, and sets forth the procedure by which

body of the municipal corporation, of a resolution giving notice of intention
to approve a contract between said legislative body and the Board of Administration
of said Retirement System, providing for said participation, which said resolu-
tion shall contain a summary of the major provisions of the proposed retirement
system, and

age 65 for city firemen and city policemen, and at age 70 for
other employees.

five years immediately preceding retirement, for each year of service
after the effective date of participation, plus approximately 1/70th,
or less as may be provided in said contract by the municipal corpora-
tion for its employees, of the average monthly salary during the three
years immediately preceding the effective date of participation, for
each year of service prior to that date.
