Analysis
A 401(a) Plan through ICMA-RC allows a specific group or groups designated by the City, to save and invest money for retirement with tax benefits. Each group must participate in the mandatory contributions set by the plan which are pre-tax and reduces taxable income. The City may contribute as well on a fixed dollar or percentage basis which is defined in the plan established. No taxes are due, including on earnings, until the participant makes withdrawals. The maximum contribution limit (employee and employer combined) for this plan is $56,000 per year. This plan is being implemented for the City Manager and Deputy City Managers, since that group can agree on the mandatory contributions.
Financial Consideration
There is no cost to the city to implement this plan.
