On page 3 it states that "TCDRS plans with 8-years vesting can elect to reduce this 10-year eligibility requirements to 8 years." This in referring to Military Service Credit. I think the option to purchase military time for monetary credit expires December 31, 1999. I talked to Larry Griffin about this and he would like for you to brief the court on this and for them to consider the 8-year eligibility for Military Credit. Since time is short, he suggested it be on the next agenda. This issue effects several people at Road & Bridge, and perhaps elsewhere in the county. Thanks for your help with this.
