Background:
The Administration worked with TCG (Third-Party Administrator), the City Attorney’s Office, and outside counsel Ice Miller to restate the Milwaukee Board of School Directors Executive 403(b) Plan ("Plan") on a standardized plan document that reflects current Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") model language. The Plan is restated as of January 1, 2020 to take advantage of the IRS remedial amendment period that closes June 30, 2020.

The deadline to approve the Adoption Agreement for the standardized plan document was originally March 31, 2020. In consideration of the COVID-19 crisis, the IRS extended this deadline to June 30, 2020.

Attached are the following items:

Summary of the requested Board action prepared by the City Attorney’s Office and outside counsel
