457 Plans & Roth IRA

Tax code section 457 provides rules to govern all nonqualified deferred compensation plans of governmental employees and non-church controlled tax-exempt organizations. The pension plan designed to comply with theses rules is simply referred to as a Section 457 plan. Employees are allowed to defer compensation on a pre-tax basis through payroll deductions that further allows them to defer federal and sometimes state taxes until the
assets are withdrawn.

A Roth IRA is a type of Individual Retirement Annuity in which contributions are made with after-tax dollars. If certain requirements are met, earnings accumulate tax-free, and no federal income tax is levied when qualifying distributions are taken from the plan. The City offers participation in both 457 and Roth IRA plans but, the City does not make
contributions to either plan.

Section 125 Cafeteria Plan

The City provides access to a Section 125 Cafeteria Plan. A "Section 125 Cafeteria Plan", often referred to as a "Flexible Spending Account", helps an employee keep more of their paycheck by reducing their Federal and State taxes. It allows an employee to pay certain expenses before taxes are deducted from their paycheck. These expenses include daycare, insurance premiums and most out-of-pocket medical costs.
