Polk County commissioners voted unanimously on April 2 to amend the county’s Personnel Policy Section 24, reinstating a post‑employment retirement benefit that had been removed when the county ended its Defined Benefit Retirement Plan for hires on or after July 1, 2021.
The change was presented to the board as a recruitment tool. Commissioner Jordan Hubbard moved to approve the resolution amending the personnel policy; Commissioner Ray Carter seconded the motion, which passed unanimously.
The meeting record does not specify the cost estimate, eligibility details, or implementation timeline for the reinstated benefit; those details were not provided in the discussion and are therefore not specified in this report.
