(9) "Plan benefit", the benefit amount payable from a plan together with any supplemental payments from public funds;
(10) "Substantial proposed change", a proposed change in future plan benefits which would increase or decrease the total contribution percent by at least one-quarter of one percent of active employee payroll, or would increase or decrease a plan benefit by five percent or more, or would materially affect the actuarial soundness of the plan.
