This account shall also be charged with the amount of interest required to be credited to the Fixed Benefit Account and with the interest to be credited to the individual accounts in the Fixed Accumulation Account. The interest to be credited to the individual accounts in the Fixed Accumulation Account shall be at rates established by the council from time to time and shall be credited on the basis of balances in such accounts at the beginning of the fiscal year.
