Substantially all City employees are eligible to participate in pension plans offered by <br />California Public Employees' Retirement System ("PERS"), an agent multiple -employer defined benefit <br />pension plan which acts as a common investment and administrative agent for its participating member <br />employers. PERS provides retirement and disability benefits, annual cost of living adjustments, and death <br />benefits to plan members who must be public employees and beneficiaries. The City's employees <br />participate in the separate safety (police and fire) and miscellaneous (all other) employee plans. Benefit <br />provisions under both plans are established by state statute and City resolution. <br />Benefits are based on years of credited service, equal to one year of full time employment. Funding <br />contributions for both plans are determined annually on an actuarial basis as of June 30 by PERS; the City <br />must contribute these amounts. See Note 9 of the City's June 30, 2018 audited financial report, which is <br />attached to this Appendix A as Exhibit I, for information as of June 30, 2018 related to the City's pension <br />and post-retirement medical benefit costs. <br />The City's total PERS plan contributions are determined through PERS' annual actuarial valuation <br />process. The actuarially determined rate is the estimated amount necessary to finance the costs of benefits <br />earned by employees during the year, with additional amount to finance any unfunded accrued liability. <br />The employer is required to contribute the difference between the actuarially determined rate and the <br />contribution rate of employees. For the measurement period ended June 30, 2017 (the measurement date), <br />the average active employee contribution rate is 7.607% of annual pay for the Miscellaneous Plan and <br />9.124% of annual pay for the Safety Plan; and the employer contribution rate is 8.78% of annual payroll <br />for the Miscellaneous Plan and 21.27% of annual payroll for the Safety Plan. <br />For the year ended June 30, 2018, the City recognized pension expense of $17,289,578 for the <br />Miscellaneous Plan and $20,924,659 for the Safety Plan.
