Discussion
Adoption of the proposed Resolution is a necessary step in the process to amend the CalPERS contract to add the provision of section 20516 (Employees Sharing Additional Cost) for all miscellaneous PEPRA members, as agreed during labor negotiations with all local miscellaneous groups including Classified Miscellaneous, Supervisory, and all unrepresented groups.
Environmental Review
N/A
Fiscal Impact
The Section 20516 (Employees Sharing Additional Cost) provision will reduce the City’s liability for CalPERS contribution costs, as Employees within the CalPERS PEPRA tier will be paying 0.25% in addition to the Employee Share cost.
This reduction in City liability will be reflected in the Fiscal Year 2020-21 Operations and Maintenance Budget.
