Columbus Consolidated Government
Council Meeting
Date
Agenda Report #
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 on behalf of University of Georgia Cooperative
Extension Service and Columbus Consolidated Government City Council to 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
March- June 30, 2016
Salary 51110 Monthly Payroll 4,336
51940 FICA OASDI (Soc Sec) 6.2% 269
51942 FICA-HI (Medicare) 1.45% 63
51971 ORP Retirement 9.24% 401
New prorated total 5,069
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 March 1, 2016-June 30, 2016 for salary.
Please note: Contracts and Grants
Columbus Consolidated Government would like to be billed no later than 45 days
