Committee amends resolution to finalize 25‑year retirement option for corrections officers

Steuben County Finance Committee · May 12, 2026

Summary

The committee amended Resolution No. 023‑26 to finalize participation in the 25‑year option of the New York State Retirement and Social Security Law, Section 89‑p, for certain correction officers and to include deputy sheriffs in the cost calculation; motion carried 5-0.

County Manager Jack K. Wheeler explained that the Legislature had previously adopted a resolution to elect participation in the 25‑year option under the New York State Retirement and Social Security Law, Section 89‑p, for certain corrections officers but administrative steps remained. The minutes indicate the Personnel Office was instructed to submit deputy sheriffs for the cost calculation because the state requires their inclusion even if they will not opt for the 25‑year option; the county recorded that the costs are unchanged. Jeffrey P. Horton moved to amend Resolution No. 023‑26 to finalize participation and include deputy sheriffs for the calculation; William Thew seconded and the motion carried 5-0.

The committee recorded that the amendment will finalize the process with the state and that a resolution is required to implement the change. The minutes explicitly reference the New York State Retirement and Social Security Law, Section 89‑p.
