(Approved by Pension Committee November 20, 2018 and requested by the Administrator) Background:Augusta offers an optional 457(b) deferred compensation annuity (saving) plan to all employees. Employees can contribute any amount they choose within limits set by Internal Revenue Service. The plan is administered by Nationwide. The account representative, Ms. Disrud, reports that several inquiries have been made concerning Roth contributions. Analysis:Roth contributions are not a current provision of Augusta's plan, but are permissible under IRS rules. By adding this amendment to the service plan, it would simply provide employees with another option to save for the future. Financial Impact:There is no financial impact to Augusta since all contributions to this optional savings plan are made by the employee. Alternatives:do not add the amendment, leaving the plan as it currently exists Recommendation:add the amendment as approved by the Pension committee Funds are Available in the Following Accounts: none needed REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY: Cover Memo Item # 4 Cover Memo Item # 4 Attachment number 1 \nPage 1 of 4 Item # 4 Attachment number 1 \nPage 2 of 4 Item # 4 Attachment number 1 \nPage 3 of 4 Item # 4 Attachment number 1 \nPage 4 of 4 Item # 4
