Employee Benefits

Texas Municipal Retirement System (TMRS)

The Town’s retirement system is through the TMRS. The plan is a nontraditional, joint contributory, and hybrid-defined benefit plan with TMRS, an agent multiple-employer public employee retiree system

TMRS is a mandatory program for all full-time employees and part-time employees whose regularly scheduled hours total at least 1,000 hours per calendar year. These employees contribute 7% of their salary to TMRS, and the Town matches these contributions 2-to-1.

International City Management Association-Retirement Corporation (ICMA-RC)

The Town also has a 457 Deferred Compensation Plan available to employees through ICMA. This optional retirement savings plan is above and beyond contributions to TMRS. Employees may contribute up to $19,500 to ICMA. In addition, there are catch-up provisions as an employee is closer to retirement that allow additional dollars to be contributed. The Town does not match any contributions to ICMA. As with TMRS contributions, any contributions to ICMA are made before federal income tax.
