§ 8.05.1. The council, and the city treasurer elected or appointed

tract, he or she shall remain a member of any pension or retirement system

or retirement system on the effective date of such contract and does not
elect, in writing, within sixty days after the effective date of such con-
tract, to become a member of the Virginia Supplemental Retirement System
