AGENDA TITLE: Adopt Resolution Approving CalPERS Employer Paid Member Contributions
MEETING DATE: November21, 2012
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 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 table below indicates the specific
percentage the City will contribute towards employee -paid retirement by specific category/bargaining
group.
The Employee Share currently paid by the City as called for in this resolution shall become fully paid for by
the council members on the date upon which one or more of the council member positions becomes
eligible for a salary/benefit adjustment by virtue of a current or future member beginning a new term of
office following the next general municipal election (Government Code 36516.5).
