%V COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
AGENDA TITLE: Adopt Resolution to Grant Designated Period for Two Years Additional Service
Credit.
MEETING DATE: March 16,2011
PREPARED BY: Human Resources Manager
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt resolution to grant designated period for two years additional
service credit.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The anticipated need to further reduce City spending in FY 2011/12
has necessitated the City explore additional options to reduce
staffing. The CalPERS Two Year Additional Service Credit program,
as established under California Government Code Section 20903, allows the City (as part of a budget
reduction process) to offer a retirement incentive of two years service credit to eligible employees.
The City of Lodi desires to designate a period in which eligible employees qualify for Two Years
Additional Service Credit, based on the amendment to the PERS contract.
The designated period for Two Years Additional Service Credit would begin March 17, 2011 and go
through June 30, 2011 for eligible Miscellaneous and Fire (sworn) members.
This resolution grants final approval and completes the process.
FISCAL IMPACT: The cost of this benefit will be amortized over 20 years and included in the City's
CaIPERS employer contribution rate beginning in FY 2013/2014. Although the net
savings depends on the number of employees who accept the benefit, the
anticipated job vacancies are expected to save the City approximately $800,000
annually in salary and benefits.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Funding available from the departments operating budget.
