Public hearing and ordinance to allow retirement after 20 years of TMRS service
What this is
The council is considering an ordinance that would amend Section 2-123(a) of the city's Code of Ordinances to allow eligible city employees who are members of the Texas Municipal Retirement System (TMRS) to retire and receive a service retirement annuity once they have at least 20 years of credited service, consistent with Section 854.202(g) of the Texas Government Code.
Why it matters
This change would expand retirement eligibility for qualifying city employees, potentially affecting workforce retention and the city's long-term pension obligations.
