SUBJECT: IMPLEMENTATION OF SB 2467 IN CONTRA COSTA COUN'T'Y
SPECIFIC REOUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the attached Resolution to make SB 2467 (Chapter 651 ,
Statutes of 1990) effective in Contra Costa County.
BACKGROUND:
The Legislature passed a bill in 1990 and the Governor signed it
into law which would allow retired employees to return to work.
This bill, SB 2467 (Chapter 651, Statutes of 1990 ) is effective
January 1, 1991. The Contra Costa County Employees' Retirement
Association' s Retirement Board supports implementation of the new
law and has urged the Board of Supervisors to implement the law
in Contra Costa County.
Under current law, there is no provision to allow an employee who
has retired to terminate their retirement benefits and return to
work. SB 2467 allows this. Under the provisions of SB 2467, an
employee who, for whatever reason, decided after retiring that he
or she wanted or needed- to return to work could apply to the
Retirement Association for permission to do so. If the
Retirement Administrator felt it appropriate, she could authorize
the"employee to return to work. The employee' s retirement checks
would stop and the employee would again begin making
contributions to the Retirement Association. The employee would
continue to gain additional credit both in terms of years of
service and age. The employee could then retire again and
benefit from the additional service credits and age at the time
of retirement.

It might, for instance, be that an 'employee retired at a
relatively young age and shortly thereafter his or her life style
suddenly changed, as for instance, with the death of a spouse.
The retiree may well feel that he or she no longer has the desire
to be retired without the presence of his or her spouse, may
still be in good health and a department may be anxious to have
the employee back at work. Likewise, a retired employee' s
economic status may have taken a sudden turn for the worse as
happened recently with many retired individuals who had invested
in "junk" bonds sponsored by savings and loan companies. When the
bonds are determined to be worthless, the retiree may feel that
he or she can no longer afford to be retired. It might be
appropriate for this employee to be allowed to return to
employment status.
This provision would not, we think, be used very frequently, but
it would be available to assist in a situation where it' s use is
judged to be appropriate. This provision cannot become effective
in a county until the Board of Supervisors adopts a Resolution
making the provisions of the new law effective in that County.
We are, therefore,, recommending that the Board of Supervisors
adopt. the attached Resolution which will make the provisions of
SB 2467 effective in Contra Costa County.
A summary of the provisions of SB 2467 prepared by the Retirement
Administrator for the Retirement Board is attached as further
background.
