This communication reports the mayor’s disapproval of Bill No.
March 22, 2007 TO THE PRESIDENT AND MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PHILADELPHIA I am returning herewith as disapproved Bill No. 060828, passed by the Council on March 1st 2007. This Bill would remove a requirement from the Public Employees Retirement Code that the Pension Fund achieve the actuarial ftrnding level of 76.7%t before any payments to the Pension Adjustment Fund (PAF) can be made.
