(d)(2) On duty presumptions.
(a) Presumption. Any condition or impairment of health of a member
caused by hypertension or heart disease shall be presumed to have been
suffered in line of duty unless the contrary is shown by competent
evidence, provided that such member shall have successfully passed a
physical examination upon entering into such service, which examination
failed to reveal any evidence of such condition; and provided further, that
such presumption shall not. apply to benefits payable or granted in a
policy of life insurance or disability insurance.
(d)(4) Conditions disquali~ing disability benefits. Each member who is claiming
disability benefits shall establish, to the satisfaction of the board, that such disability was not
occasioned primarily by:
a. Excessive or habitual use of any drugs, intoxicants or narcotics.
b. Injury or disease sustained while willfully and illegally participating in
fights, riots or civil insurrections or while committing a crime.
c. Injury or disease sustained while serving in any branch of the Armed

d. Injury or disease sustained after his employment as a firefighter with the
City of Sanford shall have terminated.
(d)(6) Disability payments. The monthly benefit to which a member is enti~ed in the
event of the member' s disability retirement shall be payable on the first day of the first month
after the board determines such enti~ement. However, the monthly retirement income shall

Page 10
be payable as of the date the board determined such enti~ement, and any portion due for a
partial month shall be paid together with the first payment. The last payment will be:
a. If the retiree recovers from the disability prior to his normal retirement
date, the payment due next preceding the date of such recovery; or
b. If the retiree dies without recovering from disability or attains his normal
retirement date while still disabled, the payment due next preceding his
death or the 120th monthly payment, whichever is later.
Provided, however, the disability retiree may select, at any lime prior to the date
on which benefit payments begin, an optional form of benefit payment as described in section
2-287, subsection (1)(a) or (1)Co), which shall be the actuarial equivalent of the normal form
of benefit.
(d)(7) Workers' compensation. When a retiree is receiving a disability pension and
workers' compensation benefits pursuant to Chapter 440, Florida Statute and/or any other
disability benefit provided by the city, for the same disability, and the total monthly benefits
received from all sources exceeds one hundred (100) percent of the member' s average monthly
wage, as defined in Chapter 440, Florida Statutes, the disability pension benefit shall be
reduced so that the total monthly amount received by the retiree does not exceed one hundred
(100) percent of average monthly wage. The amount of any lump sum workers' compensation
payment shall be convened to an equivalent monthly benefit payable for ten (10) years certain
by dividing the lump sum amount by 83.9692. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event
shall the disability pension benefit be reduced below the greater of forty-two percent (42 %) of
average final compensation and two percent (2 % ) of average final compensation limes years
of credited service.

to him commencing at member' s otherwise normal or early retirement date, determined as if
he had remained employed, provided he does not elect to withdraw his accumulated contribu-
tions, and provided member survives to his otherwise early or normal retirement date. In the

reason, but who remains employed by the city in some other capacity, shall have all retirement
benefits accrued up to the date of such termination under this system preserved, provided he

percent (50 % ) of the total present value of payments to the retiree and his joint
pensioner.
(c) If a member retires prior to the time at which social security benefits are
payable, he may elect to receive an increased retirement benefit until such time
as social security benefits shall be assumed to commence and a reduced benefit
thereafter in order to provide, to as great an extent as possible, a more level
retirement allowance during the entire period of retirement. The amounts
payable shall be as recommended by the actuaries for the system, based upon the
social security law in effect at the time of the member's retirement.
Ordinance No.
Page 14
(2) The member, upon electing any option of this section, will designate the joint
pensioner (subsection (1)(b) above) or beneficiary (or beneficiaries) to receive the benefit, if

change such designation from lime to time. Such designation will name a joint pensioner or
one (1) or more primary beneficiaries where applicable. A member may change his beneficiary

ment income benefits have commenced, the member may thereafter change his designated
beneficiary at any lime, but may only change his joint pensioner twice. Subject to the
restriction in the previous sentence, a member may substitute a new joint pensioner for a
deceased joint pensioner
(3) The consent of a member' s or retiree' s joint pensioner or beneficiary to any such
change shall not be required. The fights of all previously-designated beneficiaries to receive
benefits under the system shall thereupon cease.
(4) Upon change of a retiree's joint pensioner in accordance with this section, the
mount of the retirement income payable to the retiree shall be actuarially redetermined to take
into account the age of the former joint pensioner, the new joint pensioner and the retiree and
to ensure that the benefit paid is the actuarial equivalent of the present value of the retiree's
then current benefit at the time of the change. Any such retiree shall pay the actuarial
recalculation expenses. Each request for a change will be made in writing on a form prepared
by the board and on completion will be filed with the board. In the event that no designated
beneficiary survives the retiree, such benefits as are payable in the event of the death of the
retiree subsequent to his retirement shall be paid as provided in section 2-282 (2).
(5) Retirement income payments shall be made under the option elected in
accordance with the provisions of this section and shall be subject to the following limitations:
Ordinance No.
Page 15
(a) If a member dies prior to his normal retirement date or early retirement date,
whichever first occurs, no retirement benefit will be payable under the option to
any person, but the benefits, if any, will be determined under section 2-286(c).
(b) If the designated beneficiary (or beneficiaries) or joint pensioner dies before the
member's retirement under the system, the option elected will be eanCeled
automatically and a retirement income of the normal form and amount will be
payable to the member upon his retirement as if the election had not been made,
unless a new election is made in accordance with the provisions of this section
or a new beneficiary is designated by the member prior to his retirement.
(c) If both the retiree and the beneficiary (or beneficiaries) designated by member
or retiree die before the full payment has been effected under any option
providing for payments for a period certain and life thereafter, made pursuant

the commuted value of the remaining payments be paid in a lump sum and' in
accordance with section 2-282 (2).
(d) If a member continues beyond his normal retirement date pursuant to the
provisions of section 2-286(a)(1), and dies prior to his actual retirement and

monthly retirement income payments will be made, or a retirement benefit will
be paid, under the option to a beneficiary (or beneficiaries) designated by the
member in the amount or amounts computed as if the member had retired under
the option on the date on which his death occurred.
(6) A retiree may not change his retirement option after the date of cashing or
depositing his first retirement check.
(7) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the board in its discretion, may
elect to make a lump sum payment to a member or a member 's beneficiary in the event that the
monthly benefit amount is less than one hundred dollars ($100.00) or the total commuted value
of the remaining monthly income payments to be paid do not exceed five thousand dollars
Ordinance No.
Page 16
