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 Confidential Mid -Management General Services Maintenance and Operators Fire Fire Mid -Management Police Mid -Management Percent Emolover Contributes to Emglovee-Paid Retirement 0% 0% 6% 3.7% 6% 6% 3.7% 8� 8� 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. APPROVED: t: Konradt Bartlam, City Manager FUNDING AVAILABLE: Not applicable.
