17. Report regarding Resolution No. 85-2021 of Intention and Introduction of an Ordinance
amending the contract between the Board of Administration, California Public Employees'
Retirement System, and the City of South San Francisco to implement the ability for Classic
Local Miscellaneous members in the Executive Management Unit to pay a portion of the
employer share of their Ca1PERS pension costs. (Leah Lockhart, Human Resources Director)
Human Resources Director Lockhart presented the report and indicated that Ca1PERS is the city's
pension provider for employees in its negotiating units, and the city has a contract with them. The
state passed pension reform on January 1, 2013, giving all "new members" a new, lower-cost
formula. Employees hired before January 1, 2013 (referred to as "Classic members") were entitled
to the pension formulae in effect at the time of the pension reform's passage.
By statute, Local Miscellaneous employees in the Tier 1 retirement formula must pay an eight
percent (8%) employee contribution. Tier 2 members are required to pay a seven percent (7%)
employee contribution. The Executive Management Unit Local Miscellaneous member employees
began paying an additional one percent (1%) in 2020. Further, the group agreed to increase this by
one percent (1%) for a total of two percent (2%) for the employer contribution towards the cost of
their pension benefits, effective the first full pay period in July 2021 (July 9, 2021).
She noted that the contract amendment does not affect New Members as defined by Ca1PERS, who
are subject to the terms of the Public Employee Pension Reform Act (PEPRA). New members are
required to pay 50 percent of the total normal cost rate. Following the adoption of the resolution of
intent, the final ordinance to amend the contract with Ca1PERS will be brought to Council on May
26, 2021, to ensure a July 9, 2021, effective date.
