abused children who are not

development of the proposed
budget
Holguin told the council (hat
he would like the go ahead to
include the retirement system
in the proposed budget and then
if the proposed budget can not
be balanced the council can
begin to cut back
Tuesday, Holguin said there
are (wo routes open for the
creation of a retirement fund
He said he would like the
council to take a look at the IRA
plan where an individual can
establish his own retirement

fund which is tax deductable
Holguin said he favors the
IRA plan because Ihe return on
Ihe investment for the
employee's money is seven or
eight percent while the TMRS
return on the investment is
three to four percent. He said
that with Ihe IRA the individual
would stand lo have greater
tienefils when he begins to draw
retirement
The city manager also said
Ihe city would nnl match
contributions under Ihe IRA
system but would work tl where
employees would get a five
percent across Ihe board pay
ruise
The decision on the retire-
ment system is a tough one for
Ihe city officials The council-
men while favoring increased
pay for the employees must also
take into consideration putting
the city in a postilion to make
retirement contributions with-
oul a lax increase and also
giving a pay raise without
increasing taxes
Holguin said i( is a big
decision to make -because it
could involve increasing laxes
or increasing service fees.
Is term insurance a better
.* buy than cash-value
insurance? Sometimes yes.
Sometimes no. Who tells
it like it is?
A professional.
