18. OFFERING THE PUBLIC AGENCY RETIREMENT SERVICES (PARS) EARLY
RETIREMENT INCENTIVE PROGRAM TO ELIGIBLE EMPLOYEES TO
ACHIEVE BUDGET SAVINGS AND ALLOW FOR ORGANIZATIONAL
RESTRUCTURING
The City continues to face significant financial challenges despite making a
number of substantial changes over the last several fiscal years to reduce
personnel costs. It is projected that offering an early retirement incentive
program administered by Public Agency Retirement Services (PARS) will help
the City directly reduce General Fund expenditures while also making it easier
for the City to restructure its staffing levels and operations in a more economical
and efficient manner. City Council authorization to offer the PARS early
retirement incentive plan to eligible employees does not bind the City to move
forward with the program. After the employee enrollment period closes and the
City determines how vacated positions will be filled, PARS will provide the City
with detailed financial information that will allow the City Council to assess
whether the program will meet the City's fiscal and operational objectives. At
that time, the City Council will have the opportunity to make the final decision to
proceed with the early retirement incentive program or to withdraw the offer in
its entirety or to specific employees.
Joint Regular Meeting of the City Council June 5, 2012
and Tustin Housing Authority Agenda Page 11 of 12
Recommendation: That the City Council take the following actions to initiate the
PARS early retirement incentive process:
1. Adopt Resolution No. 12 -53 to contract with Public Agency Retirement
Services (PARS) to provide an early retirement incentive program; and
2. Appoint the City Manager as the PARS Plan Administrator and authorize
the Plan Administrator to execute the Agreement for Administrative
Services; and
3. Approve the Plan Document for the PARS Supplementary Retirement
Plan (SRP).
RESOLUTION NO. 12 -53
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TUSTIN,
CALIFORNIA, OFFERING THE PUBLIC AGENCY RETIREMENT
SERVICES (PARS) EARLY RETIREMENT INCENTIVE PROGRAM TO
