Box 1115 <br />La Porte, Texas 77571 <br />Dear Jim: <br />In accordance with your request, our Legal Counsel has prepared an ordinance that will <br />grant Prior Service Credit to the City of La Porte's employees who previously had <br />served with the City of Lomax. Once this ordinance is approved, we will appreciate <br />receiving a copy for our files. <br />According to the information furnished to me by Dortha Gray, the former Lomax em- <br />ployees listed below became La Porte employees. I have also shown the date of their <br />first TP1RS deposit, according to our records. <br />Name <br />Betty 4laters <br />Diana Haskins <br />Jessie Taylor <br />Frank Castro <br />Jackie W. Williams <br />Gary W. Bonds <br />Gordon D. Rogers <br />Month of 1st TMRS Deposit <br /> <br />August 1980 <br />June 1980 <br />August 1980 <br />August 1980 <br />August 1980 <br />August 1980 <br />August 1980 <br />Assuming the City of La Porte adopts the enclosed ordinance, each of these employees <br />would need to make back deposits to TMRS to reflect that they became members of the <br />System May 1, 1980 (the first day of the month following the consolidation of La Porte <br />and Lomax). In the case of all of the employees shown, except Pls. Haskins, each em- <br />ployee would need to make 7% deposits for the months May, June and July. Ms. Haskins <br />would need to make a 7% deposit for May, since she began making deposits to the System <br />in June. These deposits would need to be shown on a "supplemental" monthly report and <br />forwarded to our office along with the City's matching funds. This will give all of <br />these employees current service credit beginning May 1, 1980; the Prior Service Credit <br />granted by the City will cover each employee's period of employment with the City of <br />Lomax prior to May 1, 1980. It will be mandatory for these back deposits to be made <br />before the Prior Service Credit will be granted to these employees. <br />If you or any of your staff should have any questions regarding this matter, or if I <br />may be of assistance in any way, please let me know. <br />Si cerely, <br />GWA/lc ary .Anderson <br />Enclosure Admi strative Assistant <br />
