Committee reviews routine appropriation from police retirement system; public commenter urges flexibility
Summary
Ordinance 26-088 would move annual funds from the New Castle County Police Employees Retirement System into public-safety employee-benefits lines. A public commenter urged allowing transfers to cover benefits beyond retirement.
The committee reviewed ordinance 26-088, which would appropriate funds received from the New Castle County Police Employees Retirement System to the Department of Public Safety’s employee benefits line in the FY2026 operating budget. The chair described the item as "the annual money that we get to go into there," and there was no extended debate from committee members.
During public comment, a caller identified by the chair as Lisa Rice said she supports the ordinance and urged that such funds be allowed to "transfer funds and be able to use it for benefits and perks, etcetera now instead of just for retirement funds." The chair confirmed that the comment referenced item 26-088 and noted the remark for the record. The item was advanced without opposition.
