D.) gi
DATE: December 8, 2003
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Cff
FROM: John B. Bahorski, City Manager
SUBJECT: (Lifeguard / Police Safety - PERS Contract Amendment)
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
That Council adopt the attached Resolution of Intention to amend the California Public
Employees' Retirement System contract to provide Section 20965 (Credit For Unused
Sick Leave) to the Lifeguard Safety unit .
BACKGROUND:
Prior to the recent contract amendment for the Police Safety unit under the PERS system,
the Lifeguard Safety and the Police Safety units received the same benefits. To restore
equality to the Lifeguard Safety unit under the Ca1PERS retirement system with that of
the Police Safety Unit and to address potential liability concerns with a Lifeguard Safety
unit comprised of only two active employees, the City merged the two plans. However,
after the merge, the Lifeguard Safety unit was not provided with the credit for unused
sick leave credit option which was provided to the Police Safety unit.
To rectify this situation, Ca1PERS requires a resolution of intention be adopted giving
notice of the City's intention to approve an amendment to the PERS contract to provide
credit for unused sick leave to the Lifeguard Safety Unit. In addition to the resolution of
intention, the City must pass an ordinance authorizing an amendment to the contract
between City of Seal Beach and Ca1PERS. Due to a timing problem between the
subsequent adoption of this ordinance and a future scheduled retirement of a Lifeguard
Safety employee, the City Council will be requested to consider an Urgency Ordinance at
its January 12, 2004 meeting.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Government Code 7507 requires that the future annual costs of the proposed contract
amendment be made known. Currently, the City is contributing 42.401% of each safety •
employees' salary into the PERS retirement system. With the contract amendment, that
contribution will change by 0.044% to change to 42.445 %. The total cost on a present
value basis is $11,944.

With the amendment in place, the Lifeguard Chief is expected to retire at the end of
January 2004 and the City would fill the two full -time positions with a Lifeguard Captain
and a Marine Yearly Lifeguard with subsequent salary savings equal to the cost of the
amendment.
Attached is the PERS disclosure of contract amendment costs.
