Ord 3437 3/6/1979 ORDINANCE NO. A/.37
ORDINANCE AMENDING CODE OF ORDINANCE SECTION 2-99
WHICH SETS THE RETIREMENT AGE FOR ALL EMPLOYEES OF
THE CITY.
WHEREAS, Federal Law has increased the mandatory retirement age for
all employees except in those positions where age is a factual basis for
a bona fide occupational qualification; and,
WHEREAS, age is a bona fide occupational qualification for all Civil
Service Employees in the Police and Fire Departments;
BE IT ORDAINED BY THE BOARD OF ALDERMEN OF THE CITY OF WICHITA FALLS,
TEXAS, THAT:
Section 2-99 of the Code of Ordinance is hereby amended to read as
follows:
" (a) Retirement for Police and Fire Civil Service Employees shall
be on the last day of the month following the month in which the
employee reaches sixty-five (65) years of age. In the Police and
Fire Service, there is factual basis for believing that substantially
all employees above the age of sixty-five (65) years of age would
be unable to perform safely and efficiently the duties of their
particular jobs; thus, retirement at age sixty-five (65) is a
bona fide occupational qualification for these employees.
(b) Retirement for all employees of the City other than Police and
Fire Civil Service Employees shall be on the last day of the month
following the month in which the employee reaches seventy (70) years
of age."
PASSED AND APPROVED this the 6th day of March, 1979.
