Millions<br />
As detailed in the City Manager’s budget message and May 24 th and June 7 th budget staff<br />
reports, the City’s pension rates will increase sharply in 2011-2012 followed by another but lower<br />
planned increase in 2012-2013. Adopting the lower compensation levels and lower pension<br />
benefits for new hires is projected to save nearly $1 Million by 2013-2014 (lowering projected total<br />
costs from $9.7 Million to $8.6 Million). Exhibit 3 summarizes the total pension costs since 2000-<br />
2001 and projected through 2013-2014.<br />

Of the $1.93 Million projected deficit that was adverted for 2011-2012, $1.4 Million were derived<br />
from projected public safety cost increases (pension costs, employee costs and overtime costs).<br />
As a point <strong>of</strong> reference, the City’s General Fund has seen increasing actual costs in public safety.<br />
Overtime costs, as shown in Exhibit 4, have far exceed what were normal levels for both Police &<br />
Fire.<br />
These levels added to the<br />
overall increased level <strong>of</strong><br />
department budgets for Police<br />
and Fire. The City Council and<br />
staff continue to implement<br />
measures that will reduce<br />
overtime in Fire and Police.<br />
Also, to stabilize Fire costs,<br />
consolidation options were<br />
considered as a continuation <strong>of</strong><br />
the 2006 Blue Ribbon<br />
committee’s recommendations.<br />
Staff performed a brief<br />
comparison between the City’s<br />
fire costs and the City <strong>of</strong><br />
Yucaipa’s Fire costs through a<br />
consolidated CalFire contract.<br />
