One employee participating in the DROP, who terminates his or her active employment
with the city after September 30, 2005, shall upon the commencement of payment of
their normal or early retirement benefit, be paid a three hundred dollar ($300.00)
per month supplement in addition to the member's monthly retirement benefit. Such
benefit shall be payable only during the lifetime of the retiree and shall not extend
any benefits to the retiree's surviving beneficiary. No entitlement to payments or
accruals of this benefit shall begin until active employment with the city has terminated.

a police officer and is entitled to a similar benefit under section 18-36(5) of this Code, the member shall not be entitled to payment of the supplemental
benefit payable under this section.
