From: Scott Carroll, General Manage
Via: Wendy H. Davis, Finance Manager „Alija
Date: June 25, 2015
Subject: Resolution No. 2015-868 Adopting CaIPERS Plan Amendment
Summary
On July 28, 2011, the Board amended the District's California Public Retirement System
(CaIPERS) retirement agreement formula to 2% @ 60, with retirement benefits based on
the average of the thirty six highest consecutive months of salary providing a second tier
of benefits for newly hired employees. A second resolution was required to amend the
District's Employer Paid Member Contributions (EMPC). CaIPERS is requesting we
submit the attached Resolution for compliance purposes.
Staff Recommendation
That the Board of Directors approves Resolution No. 2015-868 adopting the Employer
Paid Member Contribution of 0% for Classic Second Tier Miscellaneous Members
effective August 28, 2011.
Analysis
On July 28, 2011, the Board amended the District's CaIPERS retirement agreement
formula to 2% @ 60, with retirement benefits based on the average of the thirty six highest
consecutive months of salary providing a second tier of benefits for newly hired
employees. A second resolution was required to amend the District's Employer Paid
Member Contributions (EMPC). The EMPC resolution will change the employer
contribution paid on behalf of the employee from seven percent (7%) to zero percent (0%).
District employees hired on or after August 28, 2011 have been picking up their share of
the retirement. The adoption of this resolution is just a cleanup item for compliance with
CaIPERS rules.
