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. Motion: It was moved by Councilmember Amante and seconded by Mayor Pro Tern Murray 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).
