· Resolution
2008-1049 Establish Voluntary Retirement Incentive Plan
for Prosecuting Attorney |
Resolution 2008-1049
was presented to establish a voluntary retirement incentive plan
for the prosecuting attorney’s office. During discussion,
Commissioner Genter asked if this was from this point onward?
Mr. Hall explained that this request is for a 12 month plan,
which will be effective for part of this calendar year and for
the most part, all of next year. It would become effective
once it was passed, and would start today for anyone that is
currently employed by his office. Commissioner Genter stated
that the situation as he understands it, was that there is an
employee that has already filed for retirement and her last day
is tomorrow. Mr. Hall stated that his understanding was
correct. Mr. Genter asked if this incentive program would pass,
as they have encouraged the elected officials to do, how does
that effect that person? Mr. Hall stated that this person would
file a withdrawal with PERS in order to participate in this plan
and would retire the first quarter of next year, not tomorrow.
Commissioner Genter asked how that works if the person has
already filed? Mr. Hall stated that PERS indicates that if she
sends a request in writing for her withdrawal, they will
withdraw her retirement request. Commissioner Genter stated
that the Elected Official has already hired her replacement.
Mr. Hall stated that the Prosecutor has requested additional
revenues in his budget to retain her on the payroll during that
period of time until all this becomes effective and that his
staff would be increased.
Commissioner Barnaby
stated that these retirement incentive plans are to reduce the
heavier end of the scale by allowing people to retire early by
purchasing one (1) year of PERS, making cuts to save the county
money and in the end, lowering the top end. The elected
officials that participate in this plan are expected to stick to
a no-hire or part-time replacement if absolutely needed. He
stated that this particular case has no merits being that this
employee that wishes to retire has before this date filed for
retirement with OPERS and that tomorrow would be her last day.
Someone has already been hired to take her place. This action
will not reduce costs. He said it’s important for all elected
officials to keep in mind what is trying to be accomplished with
these ERIP’s. Commissioner Short added that the spirit in which
the ERIP was enacted was to reduce costs in the general fund.
In this case, since she has already filed her retirement, this
action is not in the spirit of lowering general fund costs. He
added that if someone that has not already filed and then chose
to discuss and implement this plan, that would be in the spirit
in which the early retirement incentive is intended.
Commissioner Genter stated that he encourages all elected
officials to participate in this plan, however does not agree
with the intent presented in this particular case.
Commissioner Genter made the motion and Commissioner Short
seconded the motion. Motion failed 3-0. |
