Description/Analysis
IssueDetail
Issue Detail: On May 5 2026, the City Council approved a resolution to initiate the CalPERS contract amendment process to include retirement cost sharing in the Personnel Resolution Covering compensation for unrepresented Council Appointed Officers. Amending the contract between the City of Sacramento and CalPERS is a multi-step process. The next step of the process is for City Council to approve a resolution of intention to amend its contract with CalPERS, and then to separately enact an ordinance authorizing an amendment to the City’s contract with CalPERS, as required by the California Government Code.
Retirement cost-share amounts paid by unrepresented Appointed Officers who are CalPERS classic members are paid in addition to the member contribution rate. Amending the City’s contract with CalPERS allows the cost share amount paid by the employee to be credited to the member’s CalPERS account. This action does not change the City’s contribution to CalPERS.
