A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
SANTA ANA TO AMEND RESOLUTION NO. 94-027 TO
MEMORIALIZE CERTAIN CHANGES TO THE PAYMENT AND
REPORTING THE VALUE OF EMPLOYER PAID MEMBER
CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE CALIFORNIA PUBLIC
EMPLOYEES' RETIREMENT SYSTEM.
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA AS
FOLLOWS:
Section 1: The City Council hereby finds, determines and declares as follows:
A. On June 20, 1994, the City Council adopted Resolution
No. 94-027 to comply with Government Code Section 20636(c)(4),
pursuant to Section 20691 declaring the City of Santa Ana's intention to
report to the California Public Employees Retirement System the full
monetary value of normal member contributions to be paid by the
employer, as compensation earnable.
B. The City of Santa Ana adopted this resolution as a procedural matter to
comply with the legal requirements and approved Memorandums of
Understanding with several represented bargaining units, Unrepresented
Executive Management and Appointed employees. At that time, the
employer paid member contributions ("EPMC") was 7% for local
miscellaneous CalPERS members and 9% for local safety members.
C. The City of Santa Ana adopted Resolution 2008-050 on July 7, 2008 to
provide Section 21354.5 (2.7% @ 55 Full Formula) for local miscellaneous
members. As part of this formula, the normal member contributions to be
paid by the employer increased from 7% to 8%. The City began paying
this 8% of the normal contributions as EPMC on January 1, 2009. The
local safety members employer paid member contribution remained the
same at 9%.
D. In 2011, City staff determined with the approval of CalPERS that it was
unnecessary to update Resolution No. 94-027 to reflect the EPMC
increase which occurred as a result of Resolution 2008-050 which
implemented 2.7% @ 55 Full Formula for local miscellaneous members.
Recently, CalPERS advised the City that it wanted an updated Resolution
setting forth the current EPMC rate for classic miscellaneous CalPERS
members.
