MEMO TO: TOWN BOARD MEMBERS
FROM:
RALPH J. HOLT, CHAIRMAN
RE:
N.Y.S. RETIREMENT SYSTEM
Since two members of the Recreation Committee are already members of the NYS
Retirement System in their regular jobs, they are required to have deductions for their retirement
taken from the stipend that they receive from the Town. At the present time the members receive
$20.00 for each meeting that they attend. Usually the meetings last approximately 2 hours. The
"Guidelines" from the N.Y .S. Retirement System states "To properly determine the number of days
worked by a member, the Town Board must first establish the number of hours that constitute a
standard day (minimum six hours per day) for each position. Once we have arrived at a total, we
will then be able to divide the number of hours worked by the standard workday to arrive at the
total number of days worked to be reported."
We, therefore, request that the Town Board determine the number of hours that
constitute a standard day for these positions so that the correct number of days can be reported for
each of these members.
