7 Boone County employees offered early retirement - Rockford, IL - Rockford Register Star

Watchdog’s Comment:  “Only Boone County’s County Board would approve a “retirement incentive” to someone who already retired.  After all it is only $10,000 and it is paid to a top employee of the Sheriff’s Department.”

The employees have until March 31 to sign a form expressing their intent to retire.
“When they turn this in, it’s done,” Boone County Administrator Ken Terrinoni said. “They pick their retirement date, they retire and they get their incentive. It’s two choices: We pay the employer share of the single health insurance for three years and they still pay the employee share, or (they get) $10,000.”

Only seven employees have shown an interest and are eligible for the incentives, including one person who has retired since the proposal came forward in the fall.
