Historical NoteReturn to Top

The original authority for a retirement system came from an amendment to the City Charter submitted to the voters at the Municipal election of March 8, 1927. By the mid-1950s, within certain limitations, all officers and employees of the City were able to have membership in the Retirement System. Exceptions were the uniformed members of the police and fire departments who were under relief and pensions systems prescribed by State law. Beginning in 1956, the Retirement System was coordinated with Federal Social Security through Ordinances 84510 and 84566.

Content DescriptionReturn to Top

Early annual reports contain some narrative prefacing the financial information that comprises the bulk of the reports. Information in the reports includes lists of individuals on the pension and disability rolls. For some years there are both published and unpublished reports. Researchers should also check the Archives Documents Database for other Employees' Retirements System Annual Reports.

CF Project. A Comptroller or Clerk File (CF) can consist of correspondence, reports, petitions, contracts, agreements, etc. from elected officials, City departments, other government agencies, or the general public, which have been placed "on file" with the Office of the City Clerk (OCC). They are primarily permanent records, but also include routine material which is periodically purged. Beginning in 1987, certain archival records identified in the CF have been removed, arranged into records series, and incorporated into the collection of the Seattle Municipal Archives, a program of the OCC. A single accession number, 1987-048, was assigned to the transfer of the CF to the Archives. The initial transfer included records dating from 1895. These records remain in the CF series until approximately 15 years after they were filed with the OCC, at which point they are removed to the Archives. The transfer of CF records to the Archives is routine and regular. New accession numbers are not created when these transfers are made.
