AGENDA TITLE: Adopt Resolution Indicating Percentage of Employee's Share of Retirement
Contributions that are Paid by City of Lodi for Each Specific Employee
Category/Bargaining Group
MEETING DATE: June 1,2011
SUBMITTED BY: Human Resources Manager
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt Resolution indicating percentage of employee's share of
retirement contributions that are paid by City of Lodi for each
specific employee category/bargaining group.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The City of Lodi is a member of the California Public Employees
Retirement System (CaIPERS). Retirement contributions are
segmented into employer -paid contributions and employee -paid
contributions. Prior to July 1, 2011, the City paid both the employer
and employee -paid contribution amounts.
Effective July 11, 2011, the City will no longer be paying the full cost for the employee -paid contributions
of most City employees. Accordingly, CaIPERS requires the City adopt the attached resolution stating
the specific percentage the City will contribute towards each employee's employee -paid contribution
amount. Since CalPERS recognizes employees through their employee category/bargaining group, the
attachment indicates the specific percentagethe City will contribute towards employee -paid retirement by
specific category/bargaining group. They are as follows:
EmgloveeCateaory/Baraainina Grou
Council Appointee
Executive Management

Mid -Management
General Services
Maintenance and Operators
Fire

Police Mid -Management

Note that the above contributions reflect the amount each employee category/bargaining group has
agreed to during recent concession discussions. Some bargaining groups decided to contribute more
towards retirement and reduce unpaid furloughs days, while other groups decided to contribute less
towards retirement and receive more unpaid furlough days. Absent concessions, the City will continue to
pay the entire employee share for Police Officers Association, Dispatchers and City Council after July 1.
FISCAL IMPACT: Based on this action, Fiscal Year 11/12 CalPERS City -paid retirement costs will
decrease $508,400.
