Trimet forks over $6,000,000 !

I am pleased to report that retroactive COLA checks for active employees will be mailed on August 24.  The gross total of the wages is $6,001,646.96 and includes 2,318 separately mailed checks at an average amount of $2,589.14.

Retroactive COLA checks for retirees will be mailed by the end of August.  They have a different process for those checks, which involves US Bank.  The interface with the bank has slowed processing.
