County Administrator COUNTY
DATE: JUNE 15, 1999
SUBJECT: EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT PLAN CONTRIBUTION RATES FOR FISCAL YEAR.
1999-2000
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION($)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION'S:
1. ADOPT the attached resolution approved by the Retirement Board which establishes the
retirement plan contribution rates and authorizes supplemental payments to retirees effective
July 1, 1999 through September 30, 1999.
2. CONSIDER the proposed retirement plan contribution rates for the period of October 1, 1999
through June 30, 2000 after a Retirement Board review of an actuarial valuation study.
BACKGROUND/REASON(S) FOR RECOMMENDATION(S):
Each year, the Retirement Board establishes contribution rates for employee retirement plans as
well as payments to retirees. On May 4, the Retirement Board adopted the attached resolution
establishing essentially the same rates as this year for Tier 1, Tier 11 and safety retirement plans
for the three month period of July 1 through September 30, 1999.
The rates are for a three month period because the annual actuarial valuation study has not been
conducted. The study has been delayed because of delays in obtaining information from the new
payroll system.
Staff of the Retirement Board have indicated that the study will factor in the long term casts of the
Ventura Decision, which will likely cause the new rates to rise.
The proposed new rates should be available in September, for the remainder of fiscal year 1999-
2000.
