BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Many public agencies throughout the State contract with the Public Employees Retirement System (PERS) for retirement i>eneiits administration. In the past, employers have had little or no representation with PERS decision-making authority. The PERS Public Agency Coalition has been formed by the League of California Cities, the California State Association of Counties (CSAC) and special districts throughout the State for two major purposes: 1. To enhance the representation of employer interests before the Public Emplovees Retirement System (PERS) Board of A(Lministration and the Legislature On PERS retirement issues; and 2. To provide an improved information base to participants on PERS and other retirement related issues. In ics first year of operation, PERS PAC has been involved in: developing retirement proposals to ease the impact. of anticipated budget cuts, stricter disability retirement standards for employees who are still employable within the member agency; and, establishing "golden handshake" provisions for early retiremenr_s in the event of a reduction in force. These issues will become increasingly important as Lodi and other agencies face the new ec:onom.ic realities of State budget: reductions and decreasing revenues. The cost of membership in PERS PAC is $750.00 per fiscal year. FUNDING: Contingency Fund. l J Joanne M.
