Retirement plan reopened for six Onondaga deputies

The law lets Onondaga County reopen its optional 20-year retirement plan for six named deputy sheriffs. They are Brittany E. Dorn, Noah C. Hunt, Daniel D. Lorenzini, Gordon J. Lopez, Tre C. Fesinger, and Christopher L. Van Dusen. They must have missed the original application deadline for reasons not caused by their own negligence. The county must have previously chosen to offer the plan. Within 180 days after enactment, the county must file a governing-body resolution and certification with the state comptroller. The certification must confirm that the missed deadlines were not caused by the deputies' own negligence. Each deputy must request coverage from the state within one year after the law's effective date to receive full plan rights and benefits. The law takes effect immediately.

Onondaga County pays retirement coverage costs

Onondaga County must pay all past service costs tied to reopening this retirement coverage. The fiscal note estimates an immediate past service cost of about $382,000 if the county uses this authority. It also estimates $39,000 in added annual contributions for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026. Future added annual costs are estimated at around 5.9% of salary and can vary. These estimates cover six members with combined annual salaries of about $529,000 as of March 31, 2024. They are estimates, not fixed charges; the law requires no specific tax or fee to pay these costs.
