Columbus Consolidated Government

Council Meeting



June 5, 2018



Agenda Report # 127











TO: Mayor and Council



SUBJECT: Contract between CCG and Board of Regents of the University

System of Georgia



INITIATED BY: Rhea Bentley Cooperative Extension



Recommendation: Approval is requested to have the Board of Regents of the

University System of Georgia, acting on behalf of University of Georgia

Cooperative Extension Service, and Columbus Consolidated Government enter into

a contract for the salary of Anne Randle, County Extension Agent.



Background: All employees of the University of Georgia employees who work a

total of at least 50% time in one or more "regular" positions are required by

the Act of the General Assembly of the State of Georgia to participate in a

retirement program.



Two plans are available: Teachers Retirement System (TRS - defined benefit

plan) and the Optional Retirement Plan (ORP - defined contribution plan).



?Faculty and all benefit-eligible staff in exempt positions have the option of

participating either in the Teachers Retirement System of Georgia or an

Optional Retirement Plan.



Analysis: Anne Randle has chosen the Optional Retirement Plan of the two

choices. ORP will not allow College of Agriculture to pay without it going

through UGA. Since it has to be paid by main campus UGA, it has to be on a

contract.



Financial Considerations: There will not be any change in the amount funded by

the City. The ORP Retirement is 9.24% which is less than Teacher?s Retirement

of 11.27%. Therefore, this will be a cost-savings. The contract is for

salary, ORP Retirement and SS/Med cost only.



Salary

51110 Monthly Payroll (list annual salary) $13,008 a year



51940 FICA OASDI (Soc Sec) 6.2% 806

51942 FICA-HI (Medicare) 1.45% 189

51971 ORP Retirement 9.24% 1,202

*Total Salary & Benefit $ 15,205



The difference is that UGA will bill CCG for Anne?s salary, FICA and retirement

monthly.



Legal Considerations: Any contract involving the City requires Council approval.



Recommendations/Actions: Approval is requested for the Columbus Consolidated

Government to enter into contract with the Board of Regents of the University

System of Georgia on behalf of University of Georgia Cooperative Extension

Service for July 1, 2018 - June 30, 2019 for salary.
