are eligible to purchase under Chapter 3307, ORC; and
Whereas the State Teacher Retirement Board Rule 3307:1-3-11(M) and the Internal Revenue
Code Section 414(h)(2) permit Benjamin Logan Local School District to “pick-up” the
employee portion of contributions to STRS Ohio made for the purpose of restoring service
credit or purchasing service credit, thereby resulting in a tax deferral of employee
contributions: and

Now therefore be it resolved that in order to permit tax deferral of the employee contributions
for restored or purchased service credit, and employee who is eligible and wishes to restore or
purchase service credit by payroll deduction must either enter into a binding irrevocable
payroll deduction authorization and the employee may not opt out of having the contribution
for such restored or purchased service credit treated as “picked-up” contributions or elect to
receive the amounts directly instead of having them paid by Benjamin Logan Local School
District to STRS Ohio or terminate or alter the payroll deduction until the service credit is
fully restored or purchased or employee is terminated;
Be it further resolved that the amount herein specified, which shall be deducted from the
employee’s salary through payroll deductions, are designed as being pick-up contributions by
