Both will be in December so no retirement account has been set up as no funds have been submitted to the LGERS. I assume I would need to just refund the amounts that were deducted from his check. Any comments or other guidance on this?Thanks in advance.

The prior finance director was convinced that this system, which replaced Logics, would help integrate our Utilities division with all of the other divisions that we have. It has not worked out as expected and we are comtemplating moving elsewhere in a year or so. If Edmunds & Associates is on your list, please call me directly before you make the move. I will admit that there are some very strong positives with MCSJ, but there are continuous issues that shouldn't exist, enough to make everyone wish we hadn't switched to begin with.
