SUMMARY
The City is facing a significant budget shortfall for fiscal year 2011-2012, specifically a
12.5 million dollar deficit (which may grow larger). In addition, the Five- Year Financial
Forecast Report states that budget deficits will continue for additional fiscal years.
Pension reform, including the requirement that employees share in the costs for their
1-1

pension and a second tier retirement plan, is an important step to addressing the deficits
the City faces. The Mayor, Councilmembers, the City Manager, the City Attorney, the
City Clerk, and employees in the Executive, Senior Manager, Mid-Manager Unclassified,
Mid-Manager Confidential, Professional Unclassified, Professional Confidential, and
Confidential employee groups have expressed a willingness to participate in the
necessary pension reform, specifically, they have expressed agreement to share in the
cost of their pension by making contributions, which will be applied to the City's
contribution to CalPERS for optional benefits, in the amounts of eight percent (8%) for
employees in the "miscellaneous" CalPERS member category and nine percent (9%) for
employees in the "local police" and "local firefighter" CalPERS member categories. The
Resolution implements that expressed agreement to share in pension costs with the City
and, as a result, the City will save approximately $426,140 in the current fiscal year and
$852,280 in fiscal year 2011-12. The aforementioned cost sharing would be effective
January 14, 2011. The resolution also directs the City Manager to establish a Second
Tier CalPERS Retirement Plan for the Mayor, Councilmembers, the City Manager the
City Attorney, and the City Clerk, as they are newly elected or appointed, and new
employees in the aforementioned employee groups. The second tier retirement pension
benefit plan would be effective at the earliest possible date after compliance with the
relevant Government Code provisions. The proposed actions would assist to reduce the
City's budget deficit for fiscal year 2011-2012 and beyond.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Environmental Review Coordinator has reviewed the proposed actIvIty for
compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined
that the activity is not a "Project" as defined under Section 15378 of the State CEQA
Guidelines because approval of employee pension reform does not result in a physical
change to the environment; therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA
Guidelines the activity is not subject to CEQA. Thus, no environmental review is
necessary
RECOMMENDATION
That Council adopt the resolution.
BOARDS/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
Not Applicable
DISCUSSION
The City is facing a significant budget shortfall for fiscal year 2011-2012, specifically a
12.5 million dollar deficit (which may grow larger). In addition, the Five-Year Financial
Forecast Report states deficits will continue for additional fiscal years. The City has
recognized these budgetary shortfalls and has declared a fiscal emergency, as stated in
Resolution 2010-147.
1-2
OCTOBER 5, 2010, Item-'--
Page 3 of6
The City's response to this fiscal emergency must address both immediate and long-term
fiscal stability. Pension reform contributes to the City's immediate and long-term fiscal
stability. Pension reform includes the requirement that employees share in the cost of
their pension and the establishment of a second tier retirement plan for new employees.
A. Emplovee Pension Cost Sharing
The City currently bears the full costs of funding the pension for all City employees,
including making "employee contributions" to CalPERS in the statutory amounts of eight
percent (8%) for the "miscellaneous" CalPERS member category and nine percent (9%)
for "local police" and "local firefighter" CalPERS member categories.
The Mayor, Councilmembers, the City Manager, the City Attorney, the City Clerk, and
employees in the Executive, Senior Manager, Mid-Manager Unclassified, Mid-Manager
Confidential, Professional Unclassified, Professional Confidential, and Confidential
employee groups, recognizing the City's dire fiscal situation and showing a willingness
to be part of the solution, have expressed an agreement to share in the costs of their
pension by making contributions, which would be applied to the City's contribution to
CalPERS for optional benefits, in the amounts of eight percent (8%) for employees in the
"miscellaneous" CalPERS member category and nine percent (9%) for employees in the
"local police" and "local firefighter" CalPERS member categories. The aforementioned
employee contribution would be effective January 14, 2011, the first payday of 20 11.
The pension cost sharing by the Mayor, Councilmembers, the City Manager, the City
Attorney, the City Clerk, and employees in the Executive, Senior Manager, Mid-Manager
Unclassified, Mid-Manager Confidential, Professional Unclassified, Professional
Confidential, and Confidential employee groups will save the City approximately
$426,140 in the current fiscal year and $852,280 in fiscal year 2011-12. Moreover, the
savings to the City will continue into the future. These employees are to be commended
for their actions that will directly aid the City in resolving the fiscal emergency it faces.
A complete list of classifications falling within the Executive, Senior Manager, Mid-
Manager Unclassified, Mid-Manager Confidential, Professional Unclassified,
Professional Confidential, and Confidential employee groups discussed herein is attached
as Attachment 1.
The contributions made by the aforementioned employees to share the costs for their
pension will be on a pre-tax basis, to the extent permitted by the Internal Revenue Code.
However, given that the Internal Revenue Code and attendant Revenue Rulings and case
law are subject to change, the employee is ultimately and solely responsible for the tax
consequences of such contributions. Staff is working with CalPERS to prepare
resolutions and documents necessary to ensure that the employee contributions are pre-
tax. Such resolutions and documents would be submitted at time frames to ensure the
January 14, 2011 effective date is met.

B. Second Tier CalPERS Retirement Plan.
Establishment of a second tier retirement plan, as described below, would provide the
City a long-term fiscal benefit. The City would generate a savings because the City's
cost to fund the proposed Second Tier CalPERS Retirement Plan for new employees
would be lower than its costs to fund the current plan for those same employees.
Currently, the City provides a retirement plan for its employees through CaIPERS. The
components of the retirement plan are set forth in the various MOU's for represented
employees and by prior resolution for unrepresented employees. As previously stated,
the City currently fully funds the retirement plan. Among the key components in the
current retirement plan, are the following:
I. A 3% @ 60 benefit calculation for employees in the "miscellaneous" CalPERS
member category and a 3% at 50 benefit calculation for employees in the "local
police" and "local firefighter" member categories;
2. The use of the highest one-year final compensation in the benefit calculation;
3. Employer paid "employee contribution"; and
4. Inclusion of employer paid "employee contributions" as part of the highest one-
year final compensation.
By reducing and/or eliminating these key components to the current retirement plan, the
City can decrease its pension costs. Accordingly, it is proposed that a Second Tier
CalPERS Retirement Plan be created for the Mayor, Councilmembers, the City Manager,
the City Attorney, the City Clerk, as they are newly elected or appointed and new
employees in the Executive, Senior Manager, Mid-Manager Unclassified, Mid-Manager
Confidential, Professional Unclassified, Professional Confidential, and Confidential
employee groups be established. This proposed Second Tier CalPERS Retirement Plan
affects only new employees in the aforementioned positions, not current employees in
those positions.
The proposed Second Tier CalPERS Retirement Plan City would amend the key
components of the current retirement plan, identified above, as follows:
I. For the aforementioned employees in the "miscellaneous" CalPERS member
category, their current benefits would be amended as follows: (I) a 2% @ 60
calculation; (2) that the employees make 100% of the statutory employee
contribution to CaIPERS, currently 8%; (3) that there be no final year concession
of said payments to compensation for CalPERS benefit calculation purposes; (4)
the use of average highest three years calculation; and (5) the City will no longer
provide for subsidized retiree health care rates by offering a blended health care
rate for employees hired under the Second Tier CalPERS Retirement Plan; and
2. For the aforementioned employees in the "local police" and "local firefighter"
CalPERS member categories, their current benefits would be amended as
follows: (I) a 2% @ 50 calculation; (2) that the employees make 100% of the
1-4
OCTOBER 5, 2010, ItemL
Page 50f6
statutory employee contribution to CalPERS, currently 9%; (3) no final year
concession of said payments to compensation for CalPERS benefit calculation
purposes; (4) the use of average highest three years calculation; and (5) the City
will no longer provide for subsidized retiree health care rates by offering a
blended health care rate for employees hired under the Second Tier CalPERS
Retirement Plan.
The proposed Second Tier CalPERS Retirement Plan can only be implemented after
compliance with Government Code sections related to "meet and confer" with
Bargaining Units and CalPERS contract amendments. The Government Code requires
that changes to retirement benefits, including establishment of a Second Tier CalPERS
Retirement Plan, for employees in the "miscellaneous," "local police," and "local
firefighter" CalPERS member categories be applied uniformly within each of these
categories. The "miscellaneous," "local police," and "local firefighter" member
categories for the City of Chula Vista includes not only the aforementioned employees,
but also includes employees that are represented by Bargaining Units. As a result, before
a Second Tier CalPERS Retirement Plan may be established, the City must meet and
confer in good faith with each of the Bargaining Units representing employees in the
"miscellaneous," "local police" and "local firefighter" CalPERS member categories.
Thereafter, a Second Tier CalPERS Retirement Plan may be established for each of the
CalPERS member categories by reaching separate mutual agreements with the
Bargaining Units representing employees in the "miscellaneous," "local police," and
"local firefighter" CalPERS member categories or after utilization and completion of the
impasse procedures stated in the City's Employee Relations Policy with those Bargaining
Units.
In sum, the Pension Reforms discussed herein, will assist the City to rectify the structural
deficits it currently faces.
DECISION MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and has determined that it is
not site specific and consequently the 500 foot rule found in California Code of
Regulations section I 8704.2(a)(l) is not applicable to this decision.
CURRENT YEAR FISCAL IMP ACT
The projected annual total savings to be realized as a result of the affected employees
making contributions to share pension costs at the CalPERS' 8% ("miscellaneous"
CalPERS employee category) or 9% ("local police" and "local firefighter"CalPERS
employee categories) employee contribution rates will be $426,140 in the current fiscal
year and $852,280 in fiscal year 2011-12.
ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
There will be an ongoing annual savings of 8% of the "miscellaneous" (non-safety)
employees' and 9% of the "local police" and "local firefighter" employees' PERSable
compensation.
