3.       Antrim County Transportation (ACT) Pension Issue

The Committee reviewed information regarding the work history of employee Tom Sandeen as it relates to his Michigan Municipal Employee Retirement System (MERS) retirement accrual of time.  It appeared that Mr. Sandeen was given credit toward the pension benefit beginning September 1986 when he may have been eligible beginning December 1985.  The Committee asked Peter Garwood, Coordinator/Planner, to get a calculation of what the County would owe and what Mr. Sandeen would owe if he was credited back to December 1985.
