2023 COLA and Active Member Contribution Rate

June 17, 2022 - The most difficult decision that the board makes each year involves what levels to set for active member contributions, Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA), and funding of Health Care. In the June board meeting, the decision was made to provide a 3% COLA in 2023, to those members that qualify based on age, reduce active member contributions to 13%, and to make a one-time allocation to the health care fund of $3.89 million for 2023.
