(1) To budget, to appropriate, and to pay to the Firemen's Pension and Relief Fund a sum of money equal to the annual revenue derived from the payments made by foreign fire insurance companies based upon the insurance premiums collected by said companies, but in no case shall said council pay to said Fund less than fifteen thousand dollars per annum; said council shall annually pay to the Firemen's Pension and Relief Fund the above sum until such time as said Fund shall have from all sources, accumulated a sum considered by the Board of Trustees based upon the findings of a competent and recognized actuary to be actuarially sound.
(2) To deduct three percent of the salaries of all Members of said Fire Department who are eligible for participation in the benefits of this Fund; the said three percent shall be deducted from their respective salaries monthly and paid into the said Fund. The proceeds of the sales of condemned properties owned and used by the Fire Department, all rewards, gifts, or emoluments that may be paid or given for or on account of extraordinary service of said Fire Department except when given to an individual Member or given to endow a medal or other permanent rewards shall also be paid into the Firemen's Pension and Relief Fund. No pensions shall be paid or money drawn from said Fund for any purpose until said sum paid by the City shall be to its credit, and the interest received from investments of said Fund shall be applicable to the payments of pensions and relief under this Part.
(3) If at any time there shall not be sufficient money in such Pension and Relief Fund to pay each person entitled to the benefit thereof, the full amount per month as hereinbefore provided then equal percentage of such payment shall be made to each beneficiary until the fund shall be replenished to warrant the payment in full of each of said beneficiaries.
