Buck Passed By Council In Pension Plan
City council debates funding for a police pension overhaul tied to an annuity refund. William Stuart Nicholas says the cash value could cover six to seven years of pension payments, while city attorney John D. Lyons Jr cautions funds may revert to the general fund without special legislation. He notes last year’s annuity premiums cost the city $5,320, a burden expected to rise under the new plan as a $30,000 budget shortfall looms and there is talk of selling 700 real estate parcels to raise about $30,000. The mayor says pensions may be delayed this fiscal year and criticizes prior budgeting for not solving the issue earlier.
