11 part of their gross compensation and may invest such funds in
12 any such manner as prescribed by the deferred compensation
13 program adopted by it under this Article. Compensation deferred
14 pursuant to a deferred compensation program adopted under this

19 amendatory thereto.

21 provide public employees with a plan for the deferral of
22 compensation and the accrual of income and gain thereon if such
23 deferred compensation be invested, and to encourage the
24 continued service of public employees by making available such
25 benefits to them.
