COUNCILMEMBER ITEMS
32. 18429 Item Withdrawn Submitted by Mayor Posey for the Ortober 16, 2018, City GeunGil
-
Ill Meting ExploFation of Legal al Remedies to hold Ca IPFRR Acco, ratable to their
FiduGiary Responsibilities
Mayor Posey provided background details and information in support of this item, explaining that the
California Legislature is issuing directives that have changed California Public Employees' Retirement
System (CaIPERS) investment policies, and as a result, delivered negative returns.
Councilmember Semeta stated her support for the intent of this item, but questioned the process being
used. In her opinion, any issue which has potential for litigation should be addressed first with the City
Attorney and then as a Closed Session item before being discussed in a public meeting.
Mayor Pro Tem Peterson and Councilmember Hardy echoed Councilmember Semeta's comments and
concerns.
City Attorney Gates confirmed the appropriate procedure would involve first meeting with the City
Attorney's office, having Closed Session discussions, and presenting to the public if Council takes action
to file a lawsuit.
Councilmembers Brenden and Delgleize commended Mayor Posey for his leadership in addressing this
issue, and stated their support for using the procedure as confirmed by City Attorney Gates.
Based on feedback shared by fellow Councilmembers and the City Attorney, Mayor Posey decided to
withdraw the item from consideration and revisit at a future date.

the City Manager and Police Chief conduct an analysis to determine the financial stress created for the
City by the implementation of Assembly Bill 109.
