AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF BRISTOW, OKLAHOMA ORDINANCE NO. 144-030617 00/9

AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 7.7(d)(1) OF THE EMPLOYEE RE-TIREMENT SYSTEM AND SECTION 7(C) OF THE JOINDER AGREEMENT,DEFINED BENEFIT PLAN FOR CITY OF BRISTOW, OKLAHOMA; PER-TAINING TO JOINT LIFE ANNUITIES WHERE THE BENEFICIARY IS NOTTHE PARTICIPANT’S SPOUSE BY ADDING REQUIRED IRS LANGUAGE;PERTAINING TO NORMAL RETIREMENT AGE; PROVIDING FOR RE-PEALER AND SEVERABILITY; AND DECLARING AN EMERGENCY.

BE IT ORDAINED BY CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BRISTOW, OKLA-HOMA.Section 1. The Employee Retirement System, Defined Benefit Plan, of the City

of Bristow, Oklahoma, Section 7.7 (d) (1) is hereby amended to read as follows :"7.7 (d)(i) Joint Life Annuities Where the Beneficiary Is Not the Participant'sSpouse. If the Participant's interest is being distributed in the form of a joint andsurvivor annuity for the joint lives of the Participant and a nonspouse beneficiary,annuity payments to be made on or after the Participant's required beginning dateto the designated beneficiary after the Participant's death must not at any time ex-ceed the applicable percentage of the annuity payment for such period that wouldhave been payable to the Participant using the table set forth in Treas. Reg. Section1.401(A)(9)-6, Q&A 2(c)(2), in the manner described in Q&A 2(c)(1) of the reg-ulations, to determine the applicable percentage. If the form of distribution com-bines a joint and survivor annuity for the joint lives of the Participant and anonspouse beneficiary and a period certain annuity, the requirement in the preced-ing sentence will apply to annuity payments to be made to the designated benefi-ciary after the expiration of the period certain."Section 2. Section 7(C) of the Joinder Agreement for the Plan is hereby amended

to read as follows:"C. Normal Retirement Age. Normal retirement age shall be:

[X] The later of age 65, or the fifth anniversary of the time the Participant commenced participation in the Plan.

[ ] The earlier of (i) and (ii) as follows:(i ) age 65(ii) the later of age 62 and the age at which the Participant has completed 30 Years of Service.Examples: An employee hired at age 20 who worked for 30 years and terminated at age 50 would be entitled to unreduced payments at age 62.An employee hired at age 30 who worked for 25 years and terminated at age 55 would be entitled to unreduced payments at age 65.

[ ] Modified Rule of 80:The earlier of (i) and (ii) as follows:(i) age 65(ii ) the later of age 55 and the age at which the sum of the Participant's age in completed years and the participant's number of completed Years of Service total 80 or greater. To be eligible, the Participant's age plus Years of Service must be at least 80 prior to termination of employment (or, after termination of employment inthe case of a Participant who transfers to another Municipality in accor- dance with Section 8.1(b) of the Plan).

Examples: 1. An employee hired at age 30 who worked for 25 years and terminated at age 55 would be entitled to unreduced payments immediately. Age 55 plus 25 years equals 80.

2. An employee hired at age 20 who worked for 30 years and term- inated at age 50 would be entitled to unreduced payments at age 55. The employeehas age plus Years of Service points at age 50 but the minimum age for paymentis 55.

3. An employee hired at age 25 who worked for 25 years and termi nated at age 50 would be entitled to unreduced payments at age 65. Age 50 plus 25 years is less than 80, so the Normal Retirement Age is 65."A Participant shall be 100% vested upon attaining his or her Normal Re-

tirement Age."Section 3. If regardless of cause, any section, subsection, paragraph, sentence,

or clause of this ordinance is held invalid or to be unconstitutional, the remainingsections, subsections, paragraphs, sentences, or clauses shall continue in full forceand effect and shall be construed thereafter as being the entire provisions of thisordinance.

Section 4. Any ordinance inconsistent with the terms and provisions of this or-dinance is hereby repealed; provided, however, that such repeal shall be only tothe extent of such inconsistency and in all other respects this ordinance shall becumulative of other ordinances regulating and governing the subject matter cov-ered by this ordinance.

Section 5. This amendment to the retirement plan shall become effective July1, 2016.

Section 6.Whereas, in the judgment of the City Council of the City of Bristow,Oklahoma, the public peace, health, safety, and welfare of the City of Bristow,Oklahoma, and the inhabitants thereof demand the immediate passage of this or-dinance, an emergency is hereby declared, the rules are suspended, and this ordi-nance shall be in full force and effect on its passage and approval.Note: New language shown in bold

OKLAHOMA MUNICIPAL RETIREMENT FUNDBY: Donna DoolinTitle: Chairman

ATTEST:Barbara Ann YoungSecretary

A change to the OklahomaHouse website removed legisla-tors’ public email addresses andreplaced them with a contactform that some critics believe willrestrict access to lawmakers.

The House replaced publicemails with online forms that re-quire senders to disclose their firstand last names, address and tele-phone number – informationthat previously wasn’t required toemail lawmakers.

Some House members say theform is needed to limit mass andspam emails and help highlightmessages from their own con-stituents. Others questionedwhether requiring personal infor-mation in order to email a staterepresentative would discourageemails from even constituents.

Minority Leader Scott Inman,D-Del City, opposes the new sys-tem and said his office has re-ceived calls and emails askingwhere to find individual repre-sentatives’ email addresses sincethe system went into effect aboutsix months ago.

“Any additional barrier to ac-cess is counterproductive to con-stituent engagement andcommunication,” he said.

Inman also disagrees withusing a system that removes Ok-lahomans’ ability to contact mul-tiple House members at once.

“Now it eliminates that ability,and it only serves as another bar-rier for the citizens to contacttheir elected officials,” Inmansaid.

Jason Sutton, a spokesman for

House Speaker Charles McCall,R-Atoka, said the House transi-tioned to the form in an effort toreduce spam.

“This idea that lawmakers aretrying to prevent constituentsfrom contacting them is ab-solutely absurd,” Sutton said. “Weget emails from constituents allthe time. Nobody has done any-thing up here to prevent con-stituents from contactinglawmakers.”

Tyler Johnson, an associateprofessor of political science atthe University of Oklahoma, ex-pects the form to have a limitedimpact.

“I feel like this is a step that isgoing to keep some people fromwanting to send that message, butif the message is that importantto you, I feel like you’d be willingto jump through these (hoops),”he said.

The Tulsa World recently re-ported that the House also hadblocked external emails sent [email protected], which Sutton said was intended forinternal communications to allmembers and staff. According tothe World, the email address wasposted online, and after membersreceived a particular email thatwas critical of lawmakers, theHouse decided to restrict whocould send email to the address.

“It had absolutely zero to dowith the contents of the email,”Sutton told Oklahoma Watch.“That email in question waspretty tame compared to whatlawmakers get on a daily basis.”

Inman wrote a letter to Mc-Call on March 31 asking that theaddress again allow externalemails. He said he believes thedecision was made after Housemembers received a number ofemails in support of the HouseDemocrats’ revenue plan. Severallawmakers had provided the ad-dress to constituents who hadasked how to email every mem-ber of the House without havingto use the contact forms or copyand paste in each of their ad-dresses, Inman said.

“Trying to silence voters andthe will of the public for the po-litical comfort of the majorityparty is really unacceptable,”Inman said.

Six emails provided to Okla-homa Watch and sent to the ad-dress on March 29 expressedsupport for the Democrats’ rev-enue proposal, with “RestoreOklahoma” in the subject lines.At about 1 p.m., a legislative as-sistant for Rep. Randy McDaniel,R-Edmond, wrote in an email toother legislative assistants withthe same subject line: “Lots ofemails. Does someone knowwhat this is??”

Within two hours, the addressbegan blocking messages fromthe public, according to emailspointing out the issue.

But Sutton insists the decisionwas not made because of whatwas in those emails either, ratherto protect the address for its in-tended purpose.

“The members are happy tohear from people with differentperspectives,” he said, adding,“They’re grown-ups. They cantake it.”

With a limited staff, some law-makers say they are unable to re-spond to emails from people whoaren’t their constituents.

Majority Floor Leader JonEchols, R-Oklahoma City, saidhe doesn’t oppose listing his emailaddress online, and although hewas unfamiliar with the form sys-tem, he appreciated that it re-quires an address.

“Because of the volume ofemails, if I get an email and itdoesn’t have an address, then I as-sume that’s not a constituent, andI don’t respond to non-con-stituent emails, because I can’t doit,” Echols said. “There’s justphysically not enough time in theday.”

Similarly, Rep. Jason Murphey,R-Guthrie, said he now can easilydistinguish out-of-state emailblasts sent to many lawmakersfrom constituent emails that aresent to a single House membervia the form. That makes the

forms beneficial, he said, as massemails from automated systemshave spiked in recent years. Nowhe receives fewer blast emails, hesaid.

“That’s pretty powerful, be-cause it stands out and potentiallygives lawmakers a much stronger,precise ability to distinguish theirconstituents’ correspondencefrom out-of-state correspon-dence,” Murphey said.

Inman acknowledged that theform helps representatives tellwhich emails are from con-stituents, but he said he does re-spond to Oklahomans who don’tlive within his district.

“If a representative votes to cuteducation funding, it doesn’t justaffect the children and parents intheir district. It is detrimental tokids across the entire state,” hesaid.

Echols and Murphey both saidthey save information from thecontact forms to keep up withtheir constituents, but they don’tsell the information or use it for

other purposes. Inman expressedconcerns that the informationcould be used to micro-targetpeople based on their interests inparticular issues.

Meanwhile, the Senate’s sitestill lists its members’ emails, andthere don’t appear to be plans tomove to the form. Sen. DavidHolt, R-Oklahoma City, saideven if the Senate adopted the

contact forms, he’d insist on leav-ing his email up.

“I want my email address to bepublicly available,” Holt said. “…It’s just easier that way, and peo-ple have more confidence they’recommunicating directly with thatperson.” Contact reporter MollieBryant at (405) 990-0988 [email protected].

The site was brought to thefederal government’s attention bythe Oklahoma Department ofEnvironmental Quality, who re-ferred it to the EPA becauseOklahoma does not have the re-sources to address the site accord-ing to Region Six Superfund

Director Carl Elund.“Sites that pose serious risks to

human health and the environ-ment and warrant Superfund at-tention continue to be identifiedby EPA and our state partners,”said Mathy Stanislaus, assistantadministrator for EPA’s Office ofSolid Waste and Emergency Re-sponse. “EPA continues to act onits statutory obligation to updatethe NPL annually and clean uphazardous sites to protect humanhealth with the goal of returningthem to communities for produc-tive use. Superfund cleanups im-prove local economies, protect

people’s health and improve over-all quality of life in affected com-munities.”

Located on the site were sixoccupied homes and a church,which, according to the EPA, arein areas of former waste opera-tions of the refineries.

Hot TopicsBy Shirley Todd

What to do?So I’ve noticed for a while

now, many of you have postedon social media the troubleyoung people are causing in theneighborhoods at night. Theseyoung people are out late evenon school nights.

Whenever we talk about ayoung person causing troubleor out late we blame the par-ents. Because, of course, therest of us have perfect angels.

Don’t get me wrong, thereare people who should havenever become parents. If youcan’t take care of yourself, youshouldn’t be raising a child.These kids are raising them-selves. Some are falling intothe wrong group. Because oflack of parenting at home, theymay believe all adults don’t care.Without an adult telling themtheir choices are wrong andshowing that they care, kidswill act out.

I have seen parents who don’tdiscipline their kids. We havea large group of kids who be-lieve they are untouchable.They have been raised with theentitlement disease.

This is tough. How do westop these kids from causing somuch trouble? I agree withmany of you, it will take thecommunity to stand together.But, what can we do?

I do know that it isn’t be-cause we need more things intown to entertain them. Whycan’t these kids just hang outwith their friends? Don’t youthink that is the problem withthis generation? They con-stantly need to be entertained.My older daughter was a teenin Tulsa and had plenty for herand her friends to do. Theyhung out at someone’s house orWhataburger.

Kids need to be taught to berespectful of others. I realizeI’m older. I was a kid in the1970s and 80s, you know, backwhen kids were taught to be re-spectful. We didn’t back talkour parents, teachers or otheradults. Our parents alwaysknew where we were and thiswas before cell phones. Oh,and if any of us caused trouble,we got in trouble at home. Mysiblings and I were always toldif we got in trouble at school,we would be in trouble athome. Mine or my friend’sparents didn’t question theteacher, or go to the school and

cuss her out. We were in trou-ble, period.

Maybe the problem lies,when parents’ rights have beentaken away. We are scared todiscipline our kids with aspanking we could be accusedof abuse. We can’t yell, becausethis could be considered verbalabuse. A school administratorcan’t spank a child without theparent’s approval and let’s faceit, the kids who need a paddlingare the ones whose parentsthink they do no wrong.

Not all parents are too blamefor their child’s choices. I thinkinstead of judging and criticiz-ing, we should find out what isgoing on. What if that parentis trying to do his or her bestand is overwhelmed?

So, what do we do? Do wereport to the police each timewe see vandalism? If these kidsare ever caught, can they docommunity service? Stealing isa crime; it is still considered afelony if items stolen are over$500. State question 780, if itdoes pass, does not go into ef-fect until July. This bill willchange the amount stolen to beconsidered a felony to $1,000from $500.

Why not start a neighbor-hood watch in your area? Orbegin a national night out. Thisis a community-building cam-paign that promotes police-community partnerships.National night out also helpsbring camaraderie in commu-nities which helps to makethem safer.

Let us not forget, there arefar more great kids in this com-munity than bad. Focus on thepositive of what Bristow has tooffer and what we, its residents,can offer the community.

When you see kids not mak-ing good choices, do somethingabout it. Don’t go to socialmedia and talk about the prob-lems. Instead find solutions.

Isn’t this a community thathelps and supports one an-other? Be supportive and helpthese kids to make betterchoices. Many need positiverole models; stand up and bethat model. Remember, kidslearn more by observing ourbehavior, than by what we tellthem.
