PERS committee approves four joiner agreements and certifies two delinquent employer contributions
Summary
The board committee approved four agencies seeking Social Security and/or PERS coverage and certified delinquencies for the towns of Goodman ($400,958.31) and Chula ($1,500,601.92), voting each motion to carry without recorded opposition.
The committee voted to approve four agency "joiner" requests for Social Security and/or PERS retirement coverage, staff said, with effective dates generally set for Dec. 31, 2025 (Social Security) and Jan. 1, 2026 (retirement coverage). The agreements covered Shady Grove Utility District, the town of Bolton, the town of Tsukuba and the Pearl and Leaf River Rails to Trail Recreational District.
Staff explained the process: each applicant submitted a joiner request, underwent legal review to confirm public-entity status and a limited financial review. The presenter recommended board approval after those checks. Unidentified Speaker S4 moved to approve all four; an unidentified member seconded and the motion carried after an aye vote was called.
Separately, staff presented two employers with recent delinquent contributions and requested certification of those delinquencies so the board may take later formal certification action. The amounts presented were $400,958.31 for the town of Goodman and $1,500,601.92 for the town of Chula. The committee moved to certify the delinquencies, the motion was seconded and the chair called the vote; members voted in favor and the motion passed.
No detailed dissent or roll-call of opposing votes was recorded for either motion in the transcript. Staff said the amounts were brought forward promptly to avoid delays because employee contributions are involved.
