Ray Payroll/Benefits Supervisor County of Elgin 450 Sunset Drive S1. Thomas ON N5R 6V1 Dear Louise 178500 Group # Re: Home by-law Bobier 1997 discussion regarding the recent This is further to our January 22, passed by the County As I mentioned I had a couple of concerns. When Bobier joined OMERS, it had a Board of Directors. This Board passed the original participation resolution. If such a Board was still in existence, we would have required an amending resolution from this Board confirming that Bobier would allow the County to assume its OMERS administration responsibilities under the County's group number. As I understand, Bobier no longer has a Board of Directors. The Home now reports directly to County Council. Obviously then we only need a by-law from Council. My other concern was with section # 2 of this by-law. By applying this section, the County technically agrees to enrol any other-than-continuous full-time (OTCFT) employees hired after December 31, 1996 on their date of hire and to offer membership to any OTCFT employees on staff as of December 31, 1996. As I understand, this was not your intention. You believed that section # 2 dealt with the Pension Benefits Act's requirement to offer membership to OTCFT employees if they met certain requirements. As a result, we require an amendment to this by-law deleting section # 2. A sample is attached. 2 2 Part of this concern also related to information we have on file regarding Bobier's administration of this clause. This information suggested that Bobier had a contract with the London and District Service Workers Union that required mandatory enrolment of all OTCFT employees who belonged to that union on their date of hire. You confirmed that the current contract does not include this requirement. If you have any questions please call is sufficient. I trust this information me.
