Retirement Plan and Phone Rates on City Council Agenda
Unfinished business dominates the city council meeting with talks on a retirement plan a proposed telephone rate increase and a report from the Street Light Committee. The retirement plan would cost the city about 10811.44 this fiscal year based on payroll and would fund five percent of salaries plus a one dollar per employee yearly payment. Estimates show a potential annual cost of 18933.40 if payroll rises and a next fiscal year payroll of 374106.72. Some council members urged quick action while others sought delay. A protest group plans to address the council on the telephone rate hike with attorneys slated to attend. The Street Light Committee aims to arrange free city street lights from Houston Lighting and Power aided by materials availability. The rebate from current credits will fund installation costs.
