Carbon County’s retirement fund is healthy, officials say.

On Thursday, county Controller Mark Sverchek, secretary to the retirement board, announced that the retirement portfolio value as of Dec. 10 was $97,223,677 after dipping down to $95.29 million at the end of November.

The board also approved setting the interest rate on members’ accounts for 2022 at 5.5%.

By law, counties are required to set the interest rate between 4 and 5.5%.

The interest rate is based on members accounts, which represents the money members contribute to the system.
