SOCIAL SECURITY
It is hereby declared to be the purpose of this article to authorize and provide old-age and survivors insurance coverage for certain officers and employees of the city who are eligible therefor under the provisions of title II of the Federal Social Security Act, as amended, and implemented by chapter 126, Arizona Laws of 1951, as amended, being A.R.S. title 38, chapter 5, article 1.
(1953 Code, ch. 20, § 28)
The mayor is hereby authorized and directed to negotiate and sign in behalf of the city an application and agreement, hereinafter called the agreement, with the Employment Security Commission of Arizona, hereinafter referred to as the state agency, containing such terms and conditions as may be required under the provisions of chapter 126, Arizona Laws of 1951, as amended, being A.R.S. title 38, chapter 5, article 1, and the regulations and requirements issued pursuant thereto, whereby such state agency shall be authorized and directed to take the necessary steps to extend old age and survivor's insurance coverage as provided under title II of the Federal Social Security Act, as amended, to the eligible officers and employees designated by such agreement; however, no such agreement, or any modification thereof, shall be signed unless and until the same is authorized and approved by an appropriate resolution of the mayor and council.
(1953 Code, ch. 20, § 29)
Approval of the aforementioned agreement, or any modification thereof, by the state agency and the inclusion of the officers and employees designated thereby in any federal-state agreement now in effect, or hereafter entered into, or any modification thereof, between the state and the federal department of health, education and welfare pursuant to section 218 of the Federal Social Security Act, shall have the effect of making all such officers and employees eligible for old-age and survivors insurance benefits on the same basis as though the services they rendered constituted employment within the meaning of title II of the Federal Social Security Act. The liability for the payment of such benefits, however, shall not constitute obligations of the city; and such officers and employees and their beneficiaries shall look solely to such federal agency as may now be or may hereafter become liable for the payment of such benefits under applicable federal law or laws.
(1953 Code, ch. 20, § 30)
The director of finance is hereby authorized and directed to pay to the state agency such sums as may from time to time be due and payable to such agency in accordance with the agreement and applicable federal and state laws and regulations and requirements issued pursuant thereto. Such payments, except as hereinafter provided, shall be made from the appropriate fund of the city quarterly or at such time or times as the state agency may hereafter prescribe.
(1953 Code, ch. 20, § 31)
The contributions required of the city under the agreement equal to the maximum amount imposed, or which may hereafter be imposed, by section 1410 of the Federal Revenue Code on employers of persons engaged in employment as defined in section 1426 of such code, for the period beginning December 16, 1953, and ending June 39, 1954, together with the city's pro rata share of the cost of administering the provisions of chapter 126, Arizona Laws of 1951, shall be paid from funds budgeted and authorized to be contributed during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1954, as the city's contribution to the Tucson City Employees' Retirement Fund, being chapter 20 of the Code of the City of Tucson, 1953, abolished by Ordinance No. 1420. Beginning with the fiscal year 1954-55, and each year thereafter, the city manager shall cause an amount sufficient to pay such employer contributions to be included in the annual budget request made to the mayor and council. For the purpose of providing funds to meet such employer contributions and administrative expenses, the city council shall annually levy, in addition to all other taxes levied by the city, a tax clearly sufficient to provide the total amount of all such items in the budget, however, the council may appropriate from any other available funds all or part of the total of such amounts in the budget, in which event the tax levy to be made for such purposes shall be clearly sufficient to provide the difference between the amounts so appropriated and the total amount of all such items in the budget.
