The City shall continue to make contributions to the California <br />Public Employees Retirement System (CaIPERS) in accordance with its <br />contract with CalPERS for employees covered by said contract. <br /> <br />15.2 Deferred Retirement. The City will shall continue to make payment to <br />CalPERS on behalf of each affected employee covered by this Agreement in <br />an amount equal to 100/0 of each employee's individual retirement <br />contribution.
