Sec. 21. REDUCTION OF BENEFITS; DISSOLUTION OF SYSTEM. (a) If the pension board determines that the pension fund is seriously depleted, the pension board may proportionately and temporarily reduce the benefits of all retirees, eligible survivors, alternate payees, and beneficiaries.
(b) The amount of any reduction under Subsection (a) of this section shall be paid to the retirees, eligible survivors, alternate payees, and beneficiaries if the pension board determines that the pension fund is sufficiently reestablished to pay the amounts.
(c) If the reserve and surplus in the pension fund become exhausted and the payouts of the pension fund exceed the income to the pension fund, the governing body of the city by ordinance may dissolve the pension system and require liquidation of the pension system without any liability to the city.
(d) Any retiree or eligible survivor receiving a retirement pension or survivor benefit may, at that person's option, receive a smaller retirement pension or survivor benefit after properly making a request in writing to the pension board.
