The Montague County Commissioner’s Court Monday approved $500,000 to continue paying down the county’s unfunded portion of the retirement liability from the 2020-21 budget.
During the last several years the court has undertaken an effort to pay down the liability number with excess cash that may be left in the budget at the end of the year. Last year $500,000 was paid into the program and the year before it was $700,000.
The 2020-2021 budget is winding down as the Oct. 1 new fiscal year nears. Precinct Four Commissioner Bob Langford, a longtime advocate for reducing the liability, said they have money left in contingency and autopsies from where to draw the funds.
