Council adopts personnel-policy wording to satisfy Utah Retirement Systems Tier 2 audit

Mona City Council voted to adopt Resolution 2026-6, updating the city personnel policy to include the specific Tier 2 language required by the Utah Retirement Systems (URS) audit. A staff member told the council the change is needed to satisfy URS auditors and that the city must submit a signed copy by Thursday to complete the audit process.

Under the adopted wording, Tier 2 provisions — described during the meeting as applying to elected officials — are included in the personnel manual. The staff member said the update does not change Tier 1 language but adds a brief Tier 2 statement clarifying that Tier 2 employees are ineligible for certain retirement benefits under URS rules.

Council discussion was procedural and brief. A member moved and a colleague seconded the resolution; the council recorded voice votes (ayes) and adopted the resolution. The staff member said further revisions discussed in a recent working session will be brought back to a future meeting for additional action.

The council also noted administrative follow-up: the clerk and relevant staff will provide the signed, stamped policy copy to URS before the stated deadline. No amendments to the adopted text were recorded during the meeting.

What happens next: Staff will file the signed copy with URS to complete the audit requirement. Any additional changes raised in the working session will return to council at a later date for deliberation.
