FUNDING AVAILABLE:
the Council approve the revisions to compensation and other benefits for
mployees.
The total long term annual cost of the proposed agreement is $10,100 once
the PERS cost sharing contract is implemented. For the four months prior
to the PERS cost sharing implementation, additional cost will be
approximately $13,000 ($3,250 per months) as the 3% salary adjustment is
effective as of October 8, 2018. City staff will work with CaIPERS to
implement the cost sharing as soon as administratively possible.
It is anticipated that existing appropriations will be sufficient to cover
increased costs due to vacancies throughout the City. Budget adjustments
within funds will be necessary and executed at a staff level as authorized
by the City of Lodi Budget and Fiscal Policies.
