HUSTON, CITY MANAGER PERSONNEL SERVICES AMEND CONTRACT WITH PERS-APPROVE RESOLUTION 97-2 AND ORDINANCE 1176 RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council approve Resolution No. 97-2 to amend its contract with the Public Employees Retirement System (PERS) to add the Level Three 1959 Survivor Benefits Option for all miscellaneous employees, as previously approved by Council on January 31, 1995, in the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Tustin Municipal Employees Association. In order to enact the contract amendment with PERS, the City is required to pass an ordinance authorizing an amendment to the City's contract with the Public Employees Retirement System. Ordinance No. 1176 is presented for approval of the first reading. FISCAL IMPACT: The City will be required to contribute $1.50 per member, per month on account of the liability for the 1959 Survivor Benefits provided under Section 21573 of the Public Employees Retirement Law. There are 158 employees currently eligible to participate in this benefit with a possible total annual starting cost of $2,844.00 per year. All those eligible may not elect to participate, however, new employees entering employment and covered as miscellaneous members under PERS will be added so the cost is expected to increase over time. In addition, all assets and liabilities of the City of Tustin and its employees shall be pooled in a single account, based on term insurance rates, for survivors of all local miscellaneous members. Employees covered by the 1959 Survivor Benefits contribute $2.00 per month. All eligible employees are given the opportunity to elect or reject this option. DISCUSSION: This contract amendment was delayed due to other amendments to the City's PERS contract which were implemented first. We are currently following the necessary procedures as outlined by the Public Employees Retirement System to implement the contract amendment which was agreed to January, 1995, when the last Memorandum of Understanding with the Tustin Municipal Employees Association was adopted. Ordinance No.1176 will be brought back for the second and final reading at the meeting scheduled for February 18, 1997.
