A 7893 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Authorizes Lt. Thomas Cleere to receive certain service credit under a twenty year retirement plan

This bill allows Lieutenant Thomas Cleere of the Seneca Falls Police Department to switch from his current retirement plan to a 20-year retirement plan, correcting an enrollment error that occurred when he joined in 2014. The town of Seneca Falls must formally agree to cover the additional costs within 180 days, and Cleere must request the switch within one year. The town will bear all past and future costs, which can be paid over ten years. This is a specific procedural adjustment for one individual, not a broad policy change.

MODERATE

This bill was amended to update the fiscal estimates and effective dates to reflect the current legislative session. The primary changes involve adjusting the projected costs, payment deadlines, and reporting years for the town of Seneca Falls to align with the 2026 fiscal year instead of the previous 2025 estimates.

Scope change

The bill's scope regarding the specific individual and the retirement plan remains unchanged; however, the financial impact and implementation timeline have been updated to reflect current data.

FISCAL

The estimated immediate past service cost increased from $188,000 to $191,000, and the annual contribution increase remains at $13,000 but now applies beginning in fiscal year 2027 instead of 2026.

The amortization cost per year was adjusted from $24,000 to $24,400 based on the updated total cost.

TIMELINE

The deadline for the town to file a resolution with the state comptroller was extended from 180 days after the effective date to one full year after the effective date.

The assumed payment date for the one-time cost was moved from February 1, 2026, to February 1, 2027.

TECHNICAL

The fiscal note was updated to reflect 2025 membership data and 2025 actuarial valuations, with the certification date changed to February 23, 2026.
