The Limestone County Commission on June 15 introduced a resolution (Act number 2026-608) to provide a one-time payment to its employee retirement system estimated at $39,534.
The chair said the payment is calculated as about “a dollar per month service per year,” offering the example that “if you've been here 30 years, it's like $300 one time check.” He described the measure as a reimbursement the county has used previously and said other counties are doing the same. No commissioner raised objections during the work session.
The resolution was presented as a one-time reimbursement to retired employees; the chair did not specify mover/second or record a roll-call vote during the discussion. The transcript records the cost estimate and the act number but does not document a formal vote tally or an effective date for the payment.
If approved in a subsequent formal action, the payment would be distributed to retired employees via the ERS according to the calculation described by the chair. The commission moved on after the presentation with no additional discussion.
