members. The <strong>City</strong> pays 100 percent for the employer and employee share <strong>of</strong> funding<br />

this plan. In 2008, the <strong>City</strong> contracted with CalPERS Employer Trust Fund to pre-fund<br />

the retiree health liability.<br />

The <strong>City</strong> contracts with private deferred compensation administration firms to act as<br />

agent <strong>of</strong> the <strong>City</strong> to fulfill all the <strong>City</strong>’s administrative responsibilities. The amount<br />

deferred is not available to employees until termination, retirement, death or<br />

unavoidable emergency. The <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong>fers these plans to the employees, but does not<br />

fund these plans.<br />

Project employees (part-time, temporary) are provided pension benefits through a<br />

defined contribution plan. Federal legislation requires contribution <strong>of</strong> at least 7.5<br />

percent to a retirement plan. The <strong>City</strong> and the employee each contribute 3.75% <strong>of</strong> the<br />

employee’s salary into the plan. The <strong>City</strong>’s contribution is fully vested immediately.<br />

Medical Benefits are provided at time <strong>of</strong> retirement for all represented employees <strong>of</strong> the<br />

<strong>City</strong> who meet the eligibility requirements as defined as a PERS service or industrial<br />

disability retirement.<br />
