AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
ITEM TITLE:
AGENDA ITEM NUMBER: _@.4#.+ 2.
Resolution No. 25-R-0020 — IMRF ERI Program
FILE NUMBER:
Resolution No. 25-R-0021 — Amortization Schedule
COMMITTEE AGENDA DATE: 03/03/2025
COUNCIL AGENDA DATE: 03/17/2025
STAFF REVIEW: SIGNATURE
APPROVED BY CITY ADMINISTRATOR: SIGNATURE
ITEM SUMMARY:
During early conversations about the State’s elimination of the grocery tax, one of the options available to
the City to help address the approximately $425,000 shortfall is to approve an early retirement incentive,
replacing any vacated positions at salaries/benefits at least 80% of what they are today. While it is clear
that this Program will save the City money in the long-run, the amount will not be known until the
organization knows who, if anyone, will take advantage of this Program. If the Program is adopted,
management will be talking with any eligible employees about the details to gauge interest in
participation.
Attached is more information about the Program, including a Resolution setting the one-year window at
June 1, 2025 through June 1, 2026, as well as a Resolution establishing an amortization schedule; staff is
recommending that a ten-year schedule be adopted, with the City Council always able to pay any
outstanding amounts earlier.
The City approved the same Program in 2002, with six employees taking advantage of the Program at
that time, and also with the City paying off its responsibility earlier than the chosen ten-year window.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Consideration of Resolution Nos. 25-R-0020 and 25-R-0021.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
The Finance Committee recommends approval of Resolution Nos. 25-R-0020 and 25-R-0021.
