To: City Council
From: Assistant City Manager
SUBJECT: CORRECT PROVISIONS OF AND RESCIND RESOLUTION 19802 BY
ADOPTING A REVISED RESOLUTION
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that City Council rescind Resolution 19802 and adopt the attached
Resolution which corrects and amends the action necessary to implement provisions of
agreements reached during the Year 2000 Meet and Confer Process.
SUMMARY:
City Council adopted Resolution 19802 on June 7, 2000, which commenced paying and
reporting the value of Employer Paid Member Contributions for all employees in the
Management Units (MAPS), Exempt and Optional Members, except for the Police and Fire
Chiefs in the Exempt Group.
PERS has requested a correction to the language in the original Resolution, which we have
made, and we are adding the Police Chief and Fire Chief to the EX Group PERS benefit. By
rescinding the original Resolution and adopting a corrected one, these errors will be
corrected to PERS' satisfaction.
BACKGROUND:
The original Resolution adopted by Council on June 7, 2000, stated "This benefit shall apply
to all employees including EX, MAPS, and Optional Members in the Miscellaneous Group".
This infers that all City employees through the City were to have Employer Paid Employee
Share of PERS contributions, which is not the case. Also, negotiations with the Police and
Fire Chiefs were not concluded until later and, thus, were not reported in the original
Resolution, which PERS now wants clarified by adoption of a new Resolution by the City
Council.
The attached proposed Resolution corrects the record for PERS to be able to correctly
implement changes in PERS benefits for the groups identified. Other groups will have
changes to their PERS plans effective during future periods, which will be presented to City
Council for approval at those times.
