January 19, 2010 <br />-2- <br />7.B. - Page 24 <br />would last until June 30, 2013. After that, under current procedures, you would receive a single employer <br />contribution rate for all your Safety plan members which blends the different benefits of the members of this Safety <br />plan. The reduced contributions made up through June 30, 2013 would cause that blended rate to be slightly larger <br />than it would have been under the first option. <br />Please be advised that the analysis above does not take into account impending employer contribution <br />rate increases due to the investment market losses during the fiscal year ending 3une 30, 2009. <br />Further, the analysis does not take into consideration the recent changes in the actuarial assumptions <br />adopted by the CalPERS' Board of Administration in April 2010 and their impact on employer rates. It <br />is recommended that you refer to the enclosed Circular Letter 200 - 056 -09 dated August 25, 2009 <br />which addresses how these investment losses and Board approved enhancements to our actuarial <br />smoothing methodology will impact future employer contribution rates. For information on how the <br />assumption changes will impact future employer rates, you should refer to the enclosed Circular Letter <br />200 - 028 -10 dated May 12, 2010. <br />To initiate an amendment to the contract, please complete the attached election form and mail or FAX (916) 795- <br />3005 the form with a letter to the Contracts Maintenance Unit, indicating your wish to contract for Section 20475 <br />(Different Level of Benefits) and identifying the group(s) to which the benefit reduction applies. <br />In sections 20463 (b) and (c), the California Public Employees' Retirement Law requires the governing body of a <br />public agency within five days of receipt of the contract amendment cost analysis, to provide each employee <br />organization with a copy of the analysis. If this cost analysis was requested by an employee organization, the <br />employee organization is also required within five days of receipt of the analysis, to provide a copy of the analysis to <br />the public agency. <br />If you have questions and wish to discuss your options further, please contact your plan actuary. <br />David Du Bois, FSA <br />Senior Pension Actuary, CalPERS <br />
