AGENDA TITLE: Adopt Resolution Approving CalPERS Employer Paid Member Contributions
MEETING DATE: May 1, 2013
PREPARED BY: Human Resources Manager
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt resolution approving CalPERS employer paid member
contributions.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The City of Lodi is a member of the California Public Employees'
Retirement System (CalPERS). Retirement contributions are
segmented into employer -paid contributions and employee -paid
contributions.
CalPERS requires that the City adopts 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 table below indicates the specific
percentage the City will contribute towards employee -paid retirement by specific category/bargaining
group. Effective July 8, 2013, the new amounts are as follows:
Employee Category/Bargaining Group
