County Administrator Cx)stn
DATE: June 20, 1988 Cl. J*
SUBJECT: Legislation: Assembly Bill 3456 (Elder)
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) a BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION•
Adopt a position in opposition to AB 3456 by Assemblyman Elder
which removes the county treasurer as a member of the Los Angeles
county retirement board and, instead, substitutes an additional
representative of retired employees.
BACKGROUND:
The County Employees Retirement Law of 1937 specifies the
composition of 9-member retirement boards and includes as an ex
officio member the county treasurer. In addition, four members
are appointed by the board of supervisors, one member represents
retired employees, and other members represent miscellaneous
members and safety members. The county treasurer is the one
ongoing member of the retirement board and frequently can serve
as a balance between the members appointed by the board of
supervisors and the members elected by various employee groups.
Assemblyman Elder has introduced AB 3456 which removes the county
treasurer from the retirement board in Los Angeles County
and, instead, adds an additional member representing retired
employees. While this bill does not apply to Contra Costa
County, we believe that it establishes a dangerous precedent.
Attempts may be made in the future to make similar changes in the
composition of the retirement boards in all 1937 Act counties.
As a result, the Treasurer-Tax Collector strongly opposes AB 3456
as is reflected in the attachment memorandum and this office
concurs in that recommendation.
