At last night’s meeting, Homer City Borough Council approved some changes to the pension plans for non-uniform employees.
The change is that new full-time workers will be put into a defined benefit plan instead of a defined contribution plan. Borough Manager Robert Nymick said that this will be a savings for the borough.
Those currently with defined contribution plans will keep them for the remainder of their time as employees.
Council also approved a waiver of the open container ordinance for the upcoming Harvest Festival on October 12th. The motion was initially vetoed by Mayor Arlene Wanatosky, but passed in a second vote of the council. They also approved closing East Wiley Street for the festival.
