Mr. Hawthorne said that based on the DMG Study, new categories were developed, Executive and Managerial/Professional, both of which are non -union employees. He said this provides for these employees to have a choice whether or not to opt out of the Pension Plan. He said the effect of this would be a reduction to support the Pension Plan and possibly provide a cost savings to the City. 1 City Commission Regular Meeting 6/26/96 Page 16 V/M Mishkin said if no one opts out there would not be additional costs to the City, but if someone does choose to opt out of the Pension Plan, this may be a cost savings to the City and Mr. Hawthorne agreed.
