COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR �`, _ lkiYws a Costa
DATE: AUGUST 15, 2006 oosrq covriT� cp County
SUBJECT: LEGISLATIVE ACTION ON SAFETY EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT BENEFITS
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATIONS:
SUPPORT legislative, action to authorize the County to establish, pursuant to memoranda of
understanding with different safety bargaining units, revised retirement benefit tiers for different
groups of safety employees and the employee and employer payment obligations for these benefits.
BACKGROUND:
As part of its contract negotiations with the Deputy Sheriff's Association (DSA) the County has
reached conceptual agreement on a method of reconfiguring retirement tiers in order to
successfully recruit and retain deputy sheriffs and to help reduce the County's costs for retirement
benefits. Such a change however would require legislative action.
The County has finalized bill language which is acceptable to the DSA. It is now necessary to
identify a bill that can be "gutted and amended" to include the proposed language and for that bill to
be approved by the Assembly and Senate prior to the conclusion of this legislative session on
August 31, 2006.
