The St.�'aul Fire Depastment Relief Association by referendum vote of
its membership on April 6� 1971, a.mended its ByLa,ws to provide added
benefits in two categories:
A. Death Benefit
B. Amount of Disability Pension paid to a Disability
Pensioner with dependent children in school
State law requires that the St.Paul City Council approve of the amend-
ments before they can be put into effect. Copies of the amendments
are attached as part of a resolution being presen��d to the City Council
and are attached hereto:
Ezplanation
DEATH BENEFIT. Since the founding of the Relief Association in 1885,
a Benefit has been paid in the event of the death of a member.
$500 in almost all instances, or
�1000 where an active member dies single with no
dependents to receive a penaion. �There is no
refund of any kind provided in our fund.)
The amendment changes the basic amount of Death Benefit from �500 to
$800; it also changes the single member's �1000 to �1500. It also
� provides a step s,ystem increase of $100 per year in the Death Benefit
for the next seven yeaxs. The Death Benefit is �sid out of the
qperational (General� fund of the Association which ie supported by
+�°� of salary of th� membere.
4 DISABILITY PENSION. The a.mendment appliea only to a Fire Department
� member who is forced off the �ob because of his disability and has
more than two children dependent upon him. In instances where there
are three such children or more, the amount that would have been paid
to his widow in the event of his death might be greater than his dis-
. ability amount. The amendment provides that his pension shall be •
increased to provide for the third child, as lon� as the child is a
student and otherwise qualifies. The cost of this amendment as far
as public funds is concerned only applies to the third child (similar
to the pension for a first and second child). Any child in excess of
, three would be paid out of the operational (General� fund, which is
supported by �f of firefighters' salary.
