TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council / FROM: Martha Valenzuela, Director of Personnelr RE: Service Credit for Unused Sick Leave Background: The City adopted Sick Leave Resolution Number 9267 on March 5, 2007 for the accrual of sick leave hours for city employees with a maximum cap of 480 hours for miscellaneous and police personnel and 672 hours for fire personnel. Exhibit A section III,. E states "Employees shall have the option of obtaining service credit for the accrued unused sick leave hours instead of a cash payment." ' At this point the City has not amended the contract with CalPERS to include the unused sick leave benefit. We are now in receipt ofthe cost analysis (seeattachments)from CalPERS and the cost increases are as follows: Year: 2012-13 Miscellaneous .467% or $ 54,226.64 Fire .380% or $ 31,222.36 Police .232% or $ 12,194.26 $ 97,643.26 Increase Year: 2013-14 Miscellaneous .5% or $ 58,058.26 Fire .4% or $ 32,865.82 Police .2% or $ 10,512.58 $ 101,436.66 Increase Recommendation: Based on the CalPERS cost analysis in which the CalPERS rates will increase for this next budget year and for the following year and considering our current budget restraints, my recommendation is not to contract with CalPERS for this benefit at this time, therefore Sick Leave .Resolution Number 9267 needs to be amended to reflect the elimination of this benefit. Respectfully submitted.
