4) Contract Amendment— CaIPERS Contract
SUBMITTED BY: John Wohlmuth, City Manager
Recommendation:
1. Waive further reading and adopt Ordinance No. ils2 , an Urgency
Ordinance, amending the City's contract with the California Public Employees'
Retirement System (CaIPERS);
2. Waive further reading and pass Ordinance No. lla3 to second reading,
amending the City's contract with the California Public Employees' Retirement
System (CALPERS);
3. By Minute Motion, authorize the Mayor to execute Certification of Compliance
with Government Code Section 20903 and the contract amendment documents.
Discussion:
At its meeting of March 26, 2009, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 09-16 stating
its intent to amend the City's contract with CaIPERS to include Section 20903 which
allows the City to offer early retirement with two years additional service credit. Due to
current economic conditions and budgetary concerns, it is beneficial for the City to

encourage early retirements at this time by offering an incentive of additional service
credit for those who retire within a predetermined date range. The passage of an
ordinance is required to complete the contract amendment process.
Staff is requesting that Council adopt an urgency ordinance in order to expedite the
processing of early retirements and alleviate budget concerns. The urgency ordinance
will allow the City to open the "window" for early retirement immediately. Government
Code Section 20903 requires that the "window" be no less than ninety (90) days;
therefore, staff is requesting the period for early retirement be set to begin May 1, 2009,
and end August 15, 2009. Employees who retire during this period will receive an
additional two years of service credit.
Financial Impact:
The potential financial impact was reviewed at the March 26, 2009, City Council
meeting. The final fiscal impact will be dependent upon the number and the
classifications of employees who elect to retire. This program has the potential for a
significant savings in salary projections for the ne�ct fiscal year. It will also create the
need for reorganization throughout the City.
