Administrative Services Committee Meeting 4/24/2018 1:10 PM Probate Court Lobby Renovations Department:Central Services Department Presenter:Takiyah A. Douse Caption:Approve award of contract for the Augusta Probate Court Lobby Renovations to Sommers Construction in the amount of $170,000.00. (Bid 18-156) Background:The Probate Court Lobby is experiencing some security concerns, which has been a problem since the John H. Ruffin, Jr. Courthouse completion in 2011. It has been determined that the entrance and waiting area for Suite 100, housing the Probate Court, needs to be renovated to provide enhance security for the Judge, staff and public. Due to the current layout of the suite, individuals are able to walk through the reception area, most times unnoticed, directly into the courtroom without challenge. The Probate Court has endured this lack of security since moving into the Augusta Judicial Center, and it is the only court in the facility experiencing this situation. This proposed renovation plan would establish control procedures for gaining access to the court, making the court’s administration operation and courtroom safer. Analysis:Security of the Probate Courtroom has been an issue since its relocation to the Judicial Center. Funds to perform the needed renovation upgrade of the court’s security had not been available in the sufficient amount until recently. The cost of the security renovation of the court lobby is within the market range for the scope of work and determined to be fair and reasonable. Financial Impact:The cost of renovating the Probate Court Lobby is $170,000.00 Alternatives:1. Approve the Probate Court Lobby Renovations for $170,000.00 to meet the security needs of the court for its Judge, staff and the public. 2. Do not approve the proposal. Recommendation:Approve the Probate Court Renovation for $170,000.00 to meet the security needs of the court for its Judge, staff and the public. Funds are Available in the Following Accounts: Funds are available in account 329-05-1120 ($24,520) and 272- 02-1710 ($145,480). REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY: Finance. Procurement. Law. Administrator. Clerk of Commission Info on Changes to 2008 GMEBS Pension Plan At the March 6, 2018 commission meeting, changes proposed by the Pension Committee to the 2008 GMEBS Defined Benefit Pension Plan were approved by the Augusta Commission. These changes are scheduled to become effective on July 1, 2018 after the plan is amended. This information is being provided in order to help explain how, or if, those changes will affect you. What are the changes? There are two major changes: 1. The Multiplier – which is one of the numbers in the formula used to compute retirement benefits – will increase from 1.65% to 2%; 2. The amount contributed by both the employee and Augusta will increase. Employee contributions will increase by 2.25%. Augusta’s contribution will increase to $5,552,531. Who does this affect? The changes apply to active members of the 2008 GMEBS Plan. This includes: 1. Members of the former City of Augusta GMEBS plan who moved to the 2008 GMEBS Plan; 2. Members of the former 1977 Pension plan who moved to the 2008 GMEBS Plan; 3. Members of the 1998 Defined Contribution plan who moved to the 2008 GMEBS Plan; 4. Employees who were in no plan prior to 2008 who joined the 2008 GMEBS Plan; 5. All employees hired or rehired after October 1, 2007 who are members of the 2008 GMEBS Plan. Who is NOT affected: 1. Members of the former City of Augusta GMEBS plan who elected to stay in that plan; 2. Members of the 1977 Pension Plan who elected to stay in that plan; 3. Members of the 1998 Defined Contribution Plan who elected to stay in that plan; 4. Vested non-active members/ former employees with frozen accounts; 5. Non-members of the 2008 GMEBS Defined Benefit Plan; 6. Members currently drawing retirement benefits; 7. Members who retire prior to the effective date of changes. How does this affect me? If you fall into one of the five groups affected by the upcoming changes, after the effective date these changes will have an impact on your paycheck as an active employee as well as the benefits check you receive after retirement. What is the effect on my paycheck before I retire? Effective with the first paycheck issued in January 2019, the rate of employee contributions will increase by 2.25%. What is the effect on my paycheck after I retire? For current active employees whose retirement date is July 1, 2018 or later, the multiplier used to compute retirement benefits will increase from 1.65% to 2%. Other FAQ: 1. Did the retirement age change? No. Normal retirement age is age 65, or age 62 with 25 years of service (YOS). For public safety employees, the retirement age is 65, or 55 with 25 years of service. 2. What is the new benefit formula? The new formula changes the current multiplier of 1.65% to 2%. The new benefit is calculated as follows: Number of Years of Service X 2.0% X Final Average Earnings 3. How are my Years of Service (YOS) calculated? Your credited years of service are counted from your date of participation. This is the date you began to make contributions to the plan. If you were in another plan and moved to this plan in 2008, your date of participation is the date you began to contribute to the first plan. Depending on whether or not you immediately joined a plan when you were first hired, your date of participation and your date of employment may be different. 4. Does this change give me credit for all years I have worked for this government? This change does not give any additional years of credit for service. If you first contributed to a plan when you began working, your YOS and the number of year employed are the same. If you did not join a plan until later, your YOS are less than the amount of years you have worked. YOS are only the years for which you made contributions to the plan or for which you have purchased service years. 5. Does this change apply the 2% multiplier to all years I have contributed to the plan or are the years prior to this change computed at 1.65%? This change will credit the employee at the rate of 2% for all years contributed. 6. What is the Multiplier? Multiplier is the term used for the number in the benefit formula that is the percentage of your final average earnings you receive for each year of service. 7. What are Final Average Earnings? Final Average Earnings is the average of the 5 consecutive years prior to retirement in which the employee’s earnings were the highest. This may or may not be the last five years worked. 8. Does the new formula for benefits affect those already drawing a retirement check on this plan? No. This change only affects benefit calculations for those employees with a retirement date of July 1, 2018 or later. 9. When will I see the increased amount of my contribution taken out of my check? The increase will start on your first check in January 2019. 10. I was on the old city GMEBS plan and moved to the 2008 Plan. My contribution remained at 3.5%. What will my new contribution be? For those employees who were members of the old City GMEBS plan who moved to the new plan whose contribution remained at 3.5%, your contribution will increase by the same amount – 2.25%- and will now be 5.75%. 11. I chose to remain on the 1977 plan, the old City GMEBS Plan or the 1998 Defined Contribution Plan, can I now join this plan? No, the opportunity to convert to the 2008 GMEBS plan was a one-time election. 12. Why didn’t Augusta split the increased cost of the new benefit 50-50 with employees? The amount contributed by employees is specified in the plan document and can only be changed by an amendment to the plan. The amount has remained at 4% since 2008. Augusta, as the employer, is required to contribute all remaining amounts to keep the plan funded at the level required by state regulations. This amount is recomputed annually by the actuarial study and is then converted to a percentage of the total payroll. The amount has varied from 6.88% for 2014 to 4.63% for 2018. Employees will receive credit for all years of service at the higher rate but are only being charged for the years going forward. Given the potential future costs as well and the impact on current budgets, the cost to Augusta of 50-50 split would not have made it possible to increase to multiplier to 2% at this time.
