SUBJECT: ADOPTION OF SECOND READING OF THE ORDINANCE TO
AMEND THE CONTRACT WITH PERS TO PROVIDE SECTION
21574 (FOURTH LEVEL OF 1959 SURVIVORS BENEFITS) FOR
LOCAL FIRE MEMBERS
Statement of Issue,Funding Source,Recommended Action,Alternative Actlon(s),Analysis,Environmental Status,Attachment(s)
Statement of Issue: The current Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the
Huntington Beach Firefighter's Association for contract years 10/01/00 to 9/30/03 includes a
provision to increase the level of the 1959 Survivor's Benefit in the city's retirement contract
with the California Public Employees' Retirement System (CaIPERS). This MOU was
approved by the City Council on November 20, 2000.
CaIPERS requires a Resolution of Intention, and a first and final reading of an Ordinance in
order to amend the contract to provide Section 21574 (Fourth Level of 1959 Survivors
Benefits) for local fire members. A Resolution of Intent to consider the Fourth Level of the
1959 Survivors Benefit was approved by the City Council on November 18, 2002. At the
December 16, 2002 meeting, the City Council approved the introduction of Ordinance No.
3597.
Funding Source: Employees contribute $2.00 per month and the employer contributes
$5.00 per month for this benefit. This benefit is a pooled fund of all public agencies
contracted with CaIPERS for the Fourth Level. Due to excess assets in the Fourth Level
pool, no contribution is required based on CalPERS estimates for the next five years. if there
were no excess assets, the normal employer cost would be approximately $7,560 per year
for local fire members. 10j

REQUEST FOR ACTION
MEETING DATE: January 6, 2003 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: 03-03
Recommended Action: Adopt Ordinance No. 3597 to amend the PERS contract to provide
Section 21574 (Fourth Level of 1959 Survivors Benefits) for local fire members.
Alternative Action(s): As the City Council has approved the MOU including the
provision for this contract amendment; there is no alternative to this action.
Analysis: At the November 18, 2002 meeting, the City Council adopted a Resolution of
Intent No. No. 2002-115 between the Board of Administration of the California Public
Employees' Retirement System and the City Council and approved the introduction of
Ordinance No. 3597 on December 16, 2002.
The 1959 Survivor Program was designed to provide pre-retirement death benefits to eligible
survivors of a CalPERS member who dies prior to retirement. Specific criteria apply to
eligibility for a spouse, children, and parents, but generally cover a spouse who has care of
eligible children (under age 22 and unmarried), or a spouse age 60 or older. A copy of the
1959 Survivor Benefit Program brochure is included as attachment 3.
This action will bring the fire members in alignment with local police members, who are
currently at Level IV. Benefits are offered in fixed dollar amounts as follows:
Number of Survivors Level IV
1 $ 950
2 $1,900
3 or More $2,280
This level of benefit requires a $5.00 per month per member employer normal rate.
Additionally, all covered employees are required to contribute $2.00 per month. This benefit
is currently over funded and no employer cost is projected at this time.

Section 21574-The Fourth Level of 1959 Survivor Benefit Program for the Local Members
The table on the following page shows the change in the Liabilities and Costs for adopting the Fourth Level 1959 Survivor
Benefit for the coverage groups indicated above. The amounts are determined using the Term Insurance Method. Under this
method,the Accrued Liability is equal to the Present Value of Benefits currently payable(including deferred benefits that
will be payable to a spouse of a deceased member as soon as the spouse attains age 60). The Normal Cost is equal to tIte
Present Value of Benefits for expected deaths'during the upcoming year.
The assets and liabilities of the public agencies are pooled for each of the Third,Fourth and Indexed Levels. Assets and
liabilities are kepi individually by coverage group for Levels One and Two. When a group contracts for the Fourth Level,the t
Unfunded Liability and 5 years of Normal Cost,both at the Fourth Level,must be paid. The asset-.which arc used to
determine the Unfunded Liability are simply the assets for the coverage groups if they are moving from Level One or Two.
For coverage groups moving from Level Three or the indexed Level,assets are allocated in accordance with a formula based
on various factors, including the length of time in the current level pool,the pool's current financial condition and the
liabilities(level 3)or present value of benefits(indexed Ievcg. Ageneics will be allowed to amortize this unfunded liability
over a period of five years and pay S annual payments of Normal Cost plus the amortization payment. At the end of the five
years,the groups become part of the pool and the cost will be the pool's cost. The agency also has the option of paying their
costs in a single lump sum. if th..at option is chosen,then the groups become part of the pool immediately and costs will be
the pool's costs beginning with the following year. If there are Excess Assets rather than an Unfunded Liability,then the
excess will be used to offset the Normal Cost payments to the extent possible.
For the Fourth Level 1959 Survivor Benefit, the Ca1PERS Board of Administration approved a fiscal year 2002-2003
employer normal cost rate of S5.00 per active member. per month. Based on current experience, CalPE-RS expects that
Excess Assets in the Fourth Level pool will pay employer normal costs for at least another year. Please note,however,that
there could be a cost if actual experience is less favorable than expected.
Should you choose to amend and payments are due,annual payments will be in level dollar amounts and will not be
expressed as a percentage of your covered payroll. If you are set up on a 5-year amortization payment schedule,you will
be billed in June and your first payment is due by June 30. In addition,if you currently have a positive 1959 Survivor
rate for Level One or Two that is incorporated into your pension costs(expressed as a Percentage of your covered payroll),
that positive piece of your total pension rate will go to 7.ero unless you have remaining groups at that level that incur a cost.
The valuation has been performed in accordance with standards of practice prescribed by the Actuarial Standards Board,and
the assumptions and methods are internally consistent and reasonable for this plan,as prescribed by the CaIPERS Board of
Administration according to provisions set forth in the California Public Employee's Retirement law. The valuation has been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted actuarial practice.
This Valuation is valid until June,2003.

Statement of Issue: The current Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the
Huntington Beach Firefighter's Association for contract years 10/01/00 to 9/30103 includes a
provision to increase the level of the 1959 Survivor's Benefit in the city's retirement contract
with the California Public Employees' Retirement System (CaIPERS). This MOU was
approved by the City Council on November 20, 2000.
CalPERS law requires a Resolution of Intention, and a first and final reading of an Ordinance
In order to implement this contract amendment. A Resolution of Intent to consider the Fourth
Level of the 1959 Survivors Benefit was approved by the City Council on November 18,
2002.
Funding Source: Employees contribute $2.00 per month for this benefit. This benefit is a
pooled fund of all public agencies contracted with CaIPERS for the Fourth Level. Due to
excess assets in the Fourth Level pool, no employer contribution is required this fiscal year.
If there were no excess assets, the normal employer cost would be approximately$7,560 per
year for local fire members.
Recommended Action: Approve the first reading of Ordinance No.3,*7 providing notice
that on January 6, 2003 the City Council will consider adopting an ordinance to amend the
contract with CalPERS to provide section 21574 (Fourth Level of 1959 Survivors Benefits)for CA/

MEETING DATE: November 18, 2002 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: 02-52
Alternative Action(s): As the City Council has approved the MOU including the
provision for this contract amendment; there is no alternative to this action.
Analysis: The 1959 Survivor Program was designed to provide pre-retirement death
benefits to eligible survivors of a CalPERS member who dies prior to retirement. Specific
criteria apply to eligibility for a spouse, children, and parents, but generally cover a spouse
who has care of eligible children (under age 22 and unmarried), or a spouse age 60 or older.
A copy of the 1959 Survivor Benefit Program brochure is included as attachment 3.
This action will bring the fire members in alignment with local police members, who are
currently at Level IV. Benefits are offered in fixed dollar amounts as follows:
Number of Survivors Level IV
1 $ 950
2 $1,900
3 or More $2,280
This level of benefit requires a $5.00 per month per member employer normal rate.
Additionally, all covered employees are required to contribute $2.00 per month. This benefit
is currently over funded and no employer cost is projected at this time.

offered the Two Years Additional Service Credit six times since 1983, most recently in July
2002. The designated period for offering the Two Years Additional Service Credit is 90 -
180 days, and can be offered by classification, department or retirement plan.
The Two Years Additional Service Credit will be offered to all eligible City employees who are
members of the City miscellaneous retirement plan with CalPERS. Members of the
miscellaneous retirement plan are all eligible members of Municipal Employees' Association
(MEA), plus all non-sworn members of the Management Employees' Organization (MEO),
Police Officers' Association (POA) and those non-safety employees designated as non-
associated. To be eligible for the Two Years Additional Service-Credit an employee must be
age fifty, be vested with CalPERS (a minimum of five-years of service credit), and retire
between July 1, 2003 and September 30, 2003 (90 days).
The new designation period for the Two Years Additional Service Credit is proposed to help
address the ongoing General Fund budget shortfall. By offering this retirement incentive, it is
hoped that General Fund salary expenditures can be reduced. Currently, employee salaries
and benefits account for 75 percent of all General Fund expenditures.
CalPERS requires the reporting of the maximum possible cost (assumes all eligible
employees retire) of$5.5 million. Considering those employees who are more likely to retire,
the total cost is estimated to be approximately $660,000. The actual cost will be determined
by actuarial after the close of the designated period.

Statement of Issue:
The Memoranda of Understanding (MOU) with the Huntington Beach Municipal Employees
Association (MEA) and the Huntington Beach Management Employees' Organization (MEO)
approved by the City Council on December 16, 2002 includes a provision to provide the Pre-
retirement Optional Settlement 2 Death Benefit and increase the 1959 Survivors Benefit from
Level III to Level IV for miscellaneous members in the city's retirement contract with the
California Public Employees' Retirement System (CaIPERS). This contract amendment will
also benefit Non-Associated nonsafety employees as well as nonsafety members of the
Police Officers' Association (POA).
CaIPERS law requires a Resolution of Intention, and a first and final reading of an Ordinance
in order to implement these contract amendments.
Funding Source:
According to CaIPERS actuarial study dated January 14, 2003, the Pre-retirement Optional
Settlement 2 Death Benefit will increase the employer normal rate by 0.105%, Due to excess
assets in the City's miscellaneous retirement plan, no employer contribution is required this

MEETING DATE: April 7, 2003 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: 03.15
fiscal year. If there were no excess assets, the normal employer cost would be
approximately$31,500 per year for local miscellaneous members.
Employees contribute $2.00 per month for the 1959 Survivor's Benefit. This benefit is a
pooled fund of all public agencies contracted with CalPERS for the Fourth Level. Due to
excess assets in the Fourth Level pool, no employer contribution is required this fiscal year.
Additionally, none is expected in Fiscal Year 2003-2004, unless actual experience in the pool
is less favorable then assumed. If there were no excess assets, the normal employer cost
would be approximately$42,300 per year for local miscellaneous members.
Recommended Action:
Adopt Ordinance No. 3601 to amend the PERS contract to provide Section 21548 Pre-
retirement Optional Settlement 2 Death Benefit and Section 21574 Fourth Level of 1959
Survivors Benefits for Local Miscellaneous Members.
Alternative_Action(s):
The MOUs with MEA and MEO approved by the City Council included the provision for this
contract amendment; all alternatives would have been considered at that time.
Analysis:
At the March 3, 2003 meeting, the City Council adopted a Resolution of Intent No. 2003 20
between the Board of Administration of the California Public Employees' Retirement System
and the City Council, and the introduction of LOrdinance No. 3601 to amend the Public
Employees' Retirement S ystem contract to provide S ection 21548 P re-retirement Optional
Settlement 2 Death Benefit and Section 21574 Fourth Level of 1959 Survivors Benefits for
Local Miscellaneous Members.
The Pre-Retirement Optional Settlement 2 Death Benefit offers the spouse of a deceased
member, who was eligible to retire for service at the time of death, (i.e., aged 50 or over
and vested in CalPERS) a monthly allowance equal to the amount the member would have
received if the member had retired from service on the date of death and selected Option 2,
the highest monthly allowance a member can leave a beneficiary. The City currently
maintains a status of excess assets in the miscellaneous retirement plan in which no
employer contribution is required for this fiscal year.
The 1959 Survivor Program was designed to provide pre-retirement death benefits to eligible
survivors of a CalPERS member who dies prior to retirement. Specific criteria apply to
eligibility for a spouse, children. and parents, but generally cover a spouse who has care of
eligible children (under age 22 and unmarried), or a spouse age 60 or older. This level of
benefit requires a $5.00 per month per member employer normal rate. Additionally, all
covered employees are required to contribute $2.00 per month. This benefit is currently over
funded and no employer cost is projected at this time.

Section 21574-The Fourth Level of 1959 Survivor Benefit Program for the Local Members
The table on the following page shows the change in the Liabilities and Costs for adopting the Fourth Level 1959 Survivor
lenefit for the coverage groups indicated above. The amounts are determined using the Term Insurance Method. Under this
method,the Accrued Liability is equal to the Present Value of Berefts currently payable(including deferred benefits that
will be payable to a spouse of a deceased member as soon as the spouse attains age 60). The Normal Cost is equal to the
Present Value of Benefiis for expected deaths during the upcoming year.
The assets and liabilities of the public a_encies are pooled for each of the Third,Fourth and Indexed Levels. Assets and
liabilities are kept individually by coverage group for Levels One and Two. When a group contracts for the Fourth Level,the
Unfunded Liability and 5 years of Normal Cost,both at the Fourh Level,must be paid. The assets which are used to
determine the Unfunded Liability are simply the assets for the coverage groups if they are moving from Level One or Two.
For coverage groups moving from Level Three or the Indexed Level,assets are allocated in accordance with a formula based
on various factors, including the length of time in the current level pool,the pool's current financial condition and the
liabilities(Ievel 3)or present value of benefits(indexed Ieve12. Agencies will be allowed to amortize this unfunded liability
over a period of five years and pay 5 annual payments of Normal Cost plus the amortization payment. At the end of the five
years.the groups become part of the pool and the cost will be the pool's cost. The agency also has the option of paying their
costs in a single lump sum. If that option is chosen,then the groups become part of the pool immediately and costs will be
the pool's costs beginning with the following year. If there are Excess Assets rather than an Unfunded Liability,then the
excess will be used to offset the Normal Cost payments to the extent possible.
For the Fourth Level 1959 Survivor Benefit, the CaIPERS Board of Administration approved a fiscal year 2002-2003
employer normal cost rate of 55.00 per active member, per month. Based on current experience, CaIPERS expects that
Excess Assets in the Fourth Level pool will pay employer normal. costs for at least another year. Please note, however,that
there could be a cost if actual experience is less favorable than expected.
Should you choose to amend and Fayments are due,annual payments will be in level dollar amounts and will not be
expressed as a percentage of your covered payroll. If you are setup on a 5-year amortization payment schedule,you will
be billed in June and your first payment is due by June 30. In addition,if you currently have a positive 1959 Survivor
rate for Level One or Two that is incorporated into your pension costs(expressed as a percentage of your covered payroll),
that positive piece of your total pension rate will go to zero unless you have remaining groups at that level that incur a cost.
The valuation has been performed in accordance with standards of practice prescribed by the Actuarial Standards Board,and
the assumptions and methods are internally consistent and reasonable for this plan,as prescribed by the CaIPERS Board of
Administration according to provisions set forth in the California Public Employee's Retirement law. The valuation has been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted actuarial practice.
This Valuation is valid until June,2003.

Present Value of Projected Benefits
The table below shows the change in the total present value of benefits for the proposed plan amendment.
The present value of benefits represents the total dollars needed today to fund all future benefits for
current members of the plan,i.e.without regard to future employees. The difference between this amount
and current plan assets must be paid by future employee and employer contributions. As such,the change
in the present value of benefits due to the plan amendment represents the"cost"of the plan amendment.
However,for plans with excess assets some or all of this"cost"may already be covered by current excess
assets.

Accrued Liability
It is not required,nor necessarily desirable,to have accumulated assets sufficient to cover the total present
value of benefits until every member has left employment. Instead,the actuarial funding process
calculates a regular contribution schedule of employee contributions and employer contributions(called
• normal costs)which are designed to accumulate with interest to equal the total present value of benefits
by the time every member has left employment. As of each June 30,the actuary calculates the
"desirable"level of plan assets as of that point in time by subtracting the present value of scheduled future
employee contributions and future employer normal costs from the total present value of benefits. The
resulting"desirable"level of assets is called the accrued liability.
A plan with assets exactly equal to the plan's accrued liability is simply"on schedule"in funding that
plan,and only future employee contributions and future employer normal costs are needed. A plan with
assets below the accrued liability is"behind schedule",or is said to have an unfunded liability,and must
temporarily increase contributions to get back on schedule. A plan with assets in excess of the plan's
accrued liability is"ahead of schedule".or is said to have excess assets,and can temporarily reduce future
contributions. A plan with assets(AVA)in excess of the total present value of benefits is called super-
funded,and neither future employer nor employee contributions are required. Of course,events such as
plan amendments and investment or demographic gains or losses can change a plan's condition from year

Total Employer Contribution Rate
While the tables above give the changes in the accrued liability and funded status of the plan due to the
amendment,there remains the question of what will happen to the employer contribution rate because of
the change in plan provisions.
CaIPERS policy is to implement rate changes due to plan amendments immediately on the effective date
of the change in plan benefits. This change is displayed as the"Change to Total Employer Rate"on the
following page. If the contract amendment effective date is on or before June 30,2003,the change in the
employer contribution rate should be added to the employer's current rate. In general,the policy also
provides that the change in unfunded liability due to the plan amendment will be separately amortized
over a period of 20 years from the effective date of the amendment and all other components of the plan's
unfunded liability/excess assets will continue to be amortized separately.
However,your actuary may choose to apply different rules to plans with a current employer contribution
rate of zero. The pre-amendment excess assets in these plans were sufficient to cover the employer's
normal cost for one or more years into the future. A plan amendment will use up some or all of the pre-
amendment excess assets. In order to maintain our goal of providing rates that are relatively stable,while
taking into account known or expected future events,ycur actuary may decide to spread any remaining
excess assets over a single number of years. This is known as a"fresh start-'and will generally be for a
period not less than 15 years,and in no case less than 5 years. You may call your actuary to discuss
further alternative financing options. If the amendment uses up all excess assets and creates an unfunded
liability(i.e.from being ahead of schedule to behind schedule),the total post-amendment unfunded
liability may be amortized over 20 years.
In no case may the annual contribution with regard to a positive unfunded liability be less than the amount
which would be required to amortize that unfunded liability,as a level percent of pay,over 30 years.
The table on the following page shows the change in your plan's employer contribution rate due to the
plan amendment for fiscal 2003-2004.

incorporate the—6% investment return in 2001-2002. The estimated employer rates shown in the 2004-
2005 box do take the negative return into consideration and will give you a better estimate of what to
expect in 2004-2005.
Note that the change in normal cost in the table above may be much more indicative of the long term
change in the employer contribution rate due to the plan amendment. The plan's payment on
amortization bases shown in the table above is a temporary adjustment to the employer contribution to
"get the plan back on schedule". This temporary adjustment to the employer rate varies in duration
from plan to plan. For example,a plan with initial excess assets being amortized over a short period of
time will typically experience a large rate increase when excess assets are fully amortized. While a plan
amendment for such a plan may produce little or no inzrease in the employer contribution rate nosy,the
change in normal cost due to the plan amendment will become fully reflected in the employer

Disclosure
If your agency is requesting cost information for two or more benefit changes,the cost of adopting more
than one of these changes may not be obtained by adding the individual costs. Instead,a separate
valuation must be done to provide a cost analysis for the combination of benefit changes. If the proposed
plan amendment applies to only some of the employees in the plan,the rate change due to the plan
amendment still applies to the entire plan,and is still based on the total plan payroll.
Any mandated benefit improvements not included in the June 30,2001 annual valuation have not been
incorporated into this cost analysis.
Please note that the cost analysis provided in this document may not be relied upon once the CalPERS
actuarial stag'have completed the next annual valuation,that is,the annual valuation as of June 30,2002.
If you have not taken action to amend your contract,and Nve have already completed the June 30,2002
annual valuation report,you must contact our office for an updated cost analysis,based on the new annual
valuation.
Descriptions of the actuarial methodologies,actuarial assumptions,and plan benefit provisions may be
found in the appendices of the June 30,2001 annual report. Please note that the results shown here are
subject to change if any of the data or plan provisions change from what was used in this study.
Certification
This actuarial valuation for the proposed plan amendment is based on the participant,benefits,and asset
data used in the June 30,2001 annual valuation,with the benefits modified if necessary to reflect what is
currently provided under your contract with CaIPERS,and further modified to reflect the proposed plan
amendment. The valuation has been performed in accordance with standards of practice prescribed by the
Actuarial Standards Board,and the assumptions and methods are internally consistent and reasonable for
this plan,as prescribed by the CaIPERS Board of Administration according to provisions set forth in the
California Public Employees' Retirement Law.

Post-Amendment
• An employee's eligible survivor may receive the Optional Settlement 2 Death benefit
if the member dies while actively employed,has attained at least age 50,and has at
least 5 years of credited service(total service across all CalPERS employers and with
certain other Retirement Systems with which CalPERS has reciprocity agreements).
A CalPERS member must be actively employed with the CalPERS employer
providing this benefit to be eligible for this benefit. An eligible survivor means the
surviving spouse to whom the member was married at least one year before death. A
members survivor may choose this benefit in lieu of the Basic Death benefit or the
1957 Survivor benefit.
• The Optional Settlement 2 Death benefit is a monthly allowance equal to the Service
Retirement benefit that the member would have received had the member elected
Optional Settlement 2 and retired on the date of his or her death. (A retiree w ho
elects Optional Settlement 2 receives an allowance that has been reduced so that it
will continue to be paid after his or her death to a surviving beneficiary.) The
allowance is payable as long as the surviving spouse lives,at which time it is
continued to any unmarried children under age 18. There is a guarantee that the total
amount paid will at least equal the Basic Death Benefit.

Statement of Issue:
The Memoranda of Understanding (MOU) with the Huntington Beach Municipal Employees'
Association (MEA) and the Huntington Beach Management Employees' Organization (MEO)
approved by the City Council on December 16, 2002 includes a provision to provide the Pre-
retirement Optional Settlement 2 Death Benefit and increase the 1959 Survivor's Benefit from
Level III to Level 1V for miscellaneous members in the city's retirement contract with the
California Public Employees' Retirement System (CaIPERS).
CaIPERS law requires a Resolution of Intention, and a first and final reading of an Ordinance
in order to implement these contract amendments.
Funding Source:
According to CalPERS actuarial study dated .January 14, 2003, the Pre-retirement Optional
Settlement 2 Death Benefit will increase the employer normal rate by 0.105%, Due to excess
assets in the City's miscellaneous retirement plan, no employer contribution is required this
fiscal year. If there were no excess assets, the normal employer cost would be
approximately $31,500 per year for local miscelleaeous members.

REQUEST FOR ACTION �
MEETING DATE: March 3, 2003 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: 03-10
Employees contribute $2.00 per month for the 1959 Survivor's Benefit. This benefit is a
pooled fund of all public agencies contracted with CaIPERS for the Fourth Level. Due to
excess assets in the Fourth Level pool, no employer contribution is required this fiscal year.
Additionally, none is expected in Fiscal Year 2003-2004, unless actual experience in the pool
is less favorable then assumed. If there were no excess assets, the normal employer cost
would be approximately$42,300 per year for local miscellaneous members.
Recommended Action:
Adopt Resolution of Intent No. a resolution of intent between the Boars! of
Administration of the California Public Employees' Retirement System and the City Council of
the City of Huntington Beach providing notice that on April 7, 2003 the City of Huntington
Beach will consider adoption of Ordinance No. 3�)
Introduce Ordinance No. -3601 to amend the Public Employees' Retirement System
contract to provide Section 21548 Pre-retirement Optional Settlement 2 Death Benefit and
Section 21574 Fourth Level of 1959 Survivors Benefits for Local Miscellaneous Members.
Alternative Action(s):
The MOUs with MEA and MEO approved by the City Council included the provision for this
contract amendment; all alternatives would have been considered at that time.
Annlysis:
The Pre-Retirement Optional Settlement 2 Death Benefit offers the spouse of a deceased
member, who was eligible to retire for service at the time of death, (i.e., aged 50 or over
and vested in CalPERS) a monthly allowance equal to the amount the member would have
received if the member had retired from service on the date of death and selected Option 2,
the highest monthly allowance a member can leave a beneficiary. The City currently
maintains a status of excess assets in the miscellaneous retirement plan in which no
employer contribution is required for this fiscal year.
The 1959 Survivor Program was designed to provide pre-retirement death benefits to eligible
survivors of a CatPERS member who dies prior to retirement. Specific criteria apply to
eligibility for a spouse, children, and parents, but generally cover a spouse who has care of
eligible children (under age 22 and unmarried), or a spouse age 60 or older. This level of
benefit requires a $5.00 per month per member employer normal rate. Additionally, all
covered employees are required to contribute $2.00 per month. This benefit is currently over
funded and no employer cost is projected at this time.

SUBJECT: Adoption of Second Reading of Ordinance No. 3497 to Amend f�C Aiw�� lath
PERS to Provide Section 21362.2 (3% @ 50 Full Formula) Eeneefor -Fire
Safety Plan Members
Statement of issue,Funding Source,Recommended Action,Alternative Action(s),Analysis,Environmental StEs.AttAachment(s)
Statement of Issue: At the April 16, 2001 meeting, the City Council approved the
introduction of Ordinance No. 3497 to amend the contract with the Public Employees'
Retirement System (PERS) to provide Section 21362.2 (3% @ 50 full formula) benefit for
local fire safety members. The City Council may now adopt the ordinance to provide the
benefit.
Funding Source: The immediate and near term cost for this benefit is $192,200 per year
paid for by drawing down on the City's "super-funded" status with PERS. Based on a PERS
actuarial dated December 12, 2000, the City will not incur a cost for this benefit at least
through the next fiscal year.
Recommended Action: Adopt Ordinance No. 3497 to amend the PERS contract to provide
Section 21362.2 (3% @ 50 Full Formula) benefit for local fire safety members.
Alternative Action(s): Do not proceed with action to amend the benefits for local fire safety
members contained in Section 21362.2 of the California Retirement Law.
Analysis: At the April 16, 2001 meeting, the City Council adopted Resolution of Intent No.
2001-18 between the Board of Administration of the California Public Employees' Retirement
System and the City Council and approved the introduction of Ordinance No. 3497. The
current 2% @ 50 benefit provides fire with a retirement benefit equal to 2% of pay at age 50
for each year of service credit. This proposed amendment will increase the benefit to 3% @
50. The current maximum benefit a retired employee may earn is 85% of that employee's
final compensation. The City and the Huntington Beach Firefighters' Association agreed in
the current contract to provide this improved benefit in .tune 2001. PERS has indicated that
there is no immediate cost to the City to provide this benefit. As part of the City's agreement
with the Huntington Beach Firefighters' Association, the association has agreed to share
future costs of this amendment up to 2.25% (Attachment 4.) Since PERS law requires all
local safety employees to receive the same retirement formula, Fire Management employees
would also receive this benefit. r
mEQUEST FOR COUNCIL AC'i JN
MEETING DATE: May 7, 2001 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: AS 01-012
The PERS valuation for 3% @ 50 is based on a 9% employee contribution. SB400 was
silent with regard to the employee contribution for the 3% @ 50 formula. S13528, recently
vetoed, was an urgency bill to correct the employees' contribution rate to 9%. CaIPERS will
continue to seek urgency legislation to correct this oversight. If the contract amendment is
effective prior to the corrective legislation, the affected employees might have a "vested right"
to receive benefits under the new formula without paying the 9% employee contribution. To
avoid this result, the City Council approved "Certification of Member Contribution Rate"
(Attachment 3) at their April 16, 2001 meeting.
Although this amendment affects one safety group only, the rate increase will apply to the
total safety payroll.
In accordance with Government Code Section 7507, the future annual cost of the proposed
contract amendment was made public at the City Council Meeting of April 16, 2001. These
costs are as follows:
1. Change in the Present Value of Benefits $ 8,464,948
2. Change in the Unfunded Accrued Liability ($ 4,378,995)
3. Change in the Employer Rate 1.745%

SUBMITTED BY: RAY SILVER, City Administratorco
PREPARED BY: CLAY MARTIN, Director of Administrative Services
SUBJECT: Adopt Resolution of Intent No. and introduce Ordinance No.��. Amend
the Contract with PERS to Provide Section 21362.2 (3% @ 50 Full Wrmt1a) Benefit
for Local Fire Safety Plan Members S. NA. �Oo/--/g' ,t ( /I/o.z? -y
Statement of Issue, Funding Source, Recommended Action, Alternative Action(s),
Analysis, Environmental Status, Attachment(s)
Statement of Issue: Should the City amend the contract with the Public Employees'
Retirement System (PERS) to provide Section 21362.2 (3% @ 50 full formula) benefit for
local fire safety members? '
Fundin Source: The immediate and near-term cost for this benefit is $192,200 per year
paid for by drawing down on the City's "super-funded" status with PERS. Based on a PERS
actuarial dated December 12, 2000, the City will not incur a cost for this benefit at least
through the next fiscal year.
Recommended Action:
1. Adopt Resolution of Intent No. �8between the Board of Administration of
the California Public Employees' Retirement System and the City Council of the
City of Huntington Beach providing notice that on May 7, 2001 the City Council
will consider adoption of Ordinance No.3 Yf-7.
2. Introduce Ordinance No.3Vf to amend the PERS contract to provide Section
21362.2 (3% @ 50 Full Formula) benefit for local fire members.
3. Authorize the Mayor to sign and the City Clerk to attest to the Certification of
Member Contribution Rate.
4. Authorize the City Clerk to attest to the Certification of Compliance with
Government Code Section 7507.
r.cQUEST FOR COUNCIL AC, _JN
MEETING DATE: April 16, 2001 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: AS 01-009
Alternative Action(s): Do not proceed with action to amend the benefits for local fire
members contained in Section 21362.2 of the California Retirement Law.
Analysis: The current 2% @ 50 benefit provides fire with a retirement benefit equal to 2%
of pay at age 50 for each year of service credit. This proposed amendment will increase the
benefit to 3% @ 50. The current maximum benefit a retired employee may earn is 85% of
that employee's final compensation. The City and the Huntington Beach Firefighters'
Association agreed in the current contract to provide this improved benefit in June 2001.
PERS has indicated that there is no immediate cost to the City to provide this benefit. As
part of the City's agreement with the Huntington Beach Firefighters' Association, the
association has agreed to share future costs of this amendment up to 2.25% (Attachment 5.)
Since PERS law requires all local safety employees to receive the same retirement formula,
Fire Management employees would also receive this benefit.
The PERS valuation for 3% @ 50 is based on a 9% employee contribution. SB400 was
silent with regard to the employee contribution for the 3% @ 50 formula. SB528, recently
vetoed, was an urgency bill to correct the employees' contribution rate to 9%. CalPERS will
continue to seek urgency legislation to correct this oversight. If the contract amendment is
effective prior to the corrective legislation, the affected employees might have a "vested right"
to receive benefits under the new formula without paying the 9% employee contribution. To
avoid this result, PERS recommends that the City approve "Certification of Member
Contribution Rate" (Attachment 3.)
Although this amendment affects one safety group only, the rate increase will apply to the
total safety payroll.
Government Code Section 7507 requires that the future annual costs of the proposed
contract amendment be made public at a City Council Meeting at least two weeks prior to the
adoption of the final ordinance. These costs are as follows:
1. Change in the Present Value of Benefits $ 8,464,948
2. Change in the Unfunded Accrued Liability $ 4,378,995
3. Change in the Employer Rate 1.745%

Employees' Retirement System, Section 21382 of the California
Government Code.
b. Effective on or before June 30, 2001, the City shall amend its contract with
PERS to implement the "3% at age 50" retirement formula set forth in
California Government Code Section 21362.2 for all safety employees
represented by the Association. At the present time, based upon actuarial
studies conducted by PERS, the City is not required to make any retirement
contributions with respect to employees represented by the Association. If, # '
at any time after the implementation of the 3% at age 50 formula the City is
required to make retirement contributions with respect to employees
represented by the Association, the amount with respect to which each i
employee is reimbursed pursuant to Article IX.B.1 shall be reduced by a
percentage equal to one-half of the percentage of compensation earnable
the City is required to pay in retirement contributions to PERS, not to exceed
2.25%. For example, if the City is required to contribute an amount equal to
2% of each employee's "compensation earnable,' the amount of the l
reimbursement set forth in Article IX.B.1 shall be reduced from 9% of the
employee's compensation earnable to E% of the employee's compensation i
earnable. If, on the other hand, the City is required to contribute an amount
equal to 8% of each employee's "compensation earnable," the amount of
the reimbursement set forth in Article IX.B.1 shall be reduced to 6.75% of
the employee's compensation earnable.
c. The City shall contract with PERS to have retirement benefits calculated
based upon the employee's highest one years compensation, pursuant to
the provisions of Section 20024.2 (highest single year).
d. The obligations of the City and the retirement rights of employees as
provided in this Article shall survive the term of this MOU.
2. Self-Funded Supplemental Retirement Benefit:
a. In the event a member elects Option #2 (Government Code Section 21333) ,
or Option #3 (Government Code Section 21334) of the Public Employees'
Retirement Law, the City shall pay the difference between such elected
option and the unmodified allowance which the member would have
received for his/her life alone. This payment shall be made only to the
member, shall be payable by the City during the life of the member, and
upon that member's death, the City's obligation shall cease. The method of
funding this benefit shall be the sole discretion of the City. This benefit is
vested for employees covered by this MOU. (Note: The options provide
