Council adopts ordinance changing TMRS participation; changes effective Jan. 1, 2026
Summary
After a public hearing during which a resident asked about the city's contribution percentage, the council approved Ordinance No. 1078‑25 to authorize 20‑year retirement eligibility, increase the employee contribution rate, and readopt updated service credit and COLA selections, effective Jan. 1, 2026.
The Navasota City Council held a public hearing on proposed changes to the city's participation in the Texas Municipal Retirement System (TMRS) and then adopted Ordinance No. 1078‑25. Mayor Bert Miller opened the hearing at 6:24 p.m.; citizen Deborah Richardson asked questions about the percentage the city contributes to TMRS. The hearing closed at 6:31 p.m., and Councilmember Grant Holt moved to approve the ordinance; Mayor Pro‑Tem Josh M. Fultz seconded and the motion passed with each councilmember voting AYE.
The ordinance, as recorded in the minutes, authorizes 20‑year retirement eligibility, increases the employee contribution rate, and readopts the city's Updated Service Credit and Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) selections. The minutes state the ordinance is to be effective January 1, 2026. The minutes do not specify the exact new employee contribution percentage in the meeting record.
During the hearing a resident sought clarification about the city's contribution rate; the minutes summarize the question but do not record a numeric answer. The council's formal action completed the local adoption step; any administrative implementation (payroll changes, notice to employees, and TMRS filings) will follow the effective date.
