Explanation of above estimates (including long-range effect):


An increase in the cost of matching retirement funds in the amount of $5,065 would occur for FY2004. Ten (10) positions within the Division of Protective Services would be currently effected by this change. This change could impact future years as older members of the Division of Protective Services' staff retire and are replaced by younger officers that would like to participate in the Deputy Sheriffs Retirement Plan. The cost, which is only two (2%) percent higher than PERS contributions, would be increased each time this type of change occurs.
