STATE OF CALIFORNIA, DELEGATING AUTHORITY TO THE
CITY MANAGER REGARDING THE PROCESSING OF
APPLICATIONS FOR DISABILITY RETIREMENT AND
REINSTATEMENT FROM RETIREMENT FOR CITY
EMPLOYEES UNDER THE CALIFORNIA PUBLIC EMPLOYEES
RETIREMENT SYSTEM (CaIPERS)
WHEREAS, the City of Napa (herein referred to as"City") is a "contracting agency"
of the California Public Employees' Retirement System (as defined by California
Government Code Section 20022); and, therefore, City employees are members of,
receive benefits from, and are subject to the requirements of, the California Public
Employees' Retirement System ("CaIPERS"); and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Napa (herein referred to as "City
Council") is the "governing body" of the City of Napa, as that phrase is used in the Public
Employees' Retirement Law (California Government Code Title 2, Division 5, Part 3;
including Sections 20000 through 21716); and
WHEREAS, the Public Employees' Retirement Law requires the City Council to
take certain actions regarding determinations of, and applications for, applications to the
CaIPERS Board for retirement of a City employee for disability (including those set forth
in California Government Code Sections 21150 through 21203); provided, however, that
the same law authorizes the City Council to delegate its duties and authority to the City
Manager; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has determined that it is in the best interests of the
City to delegate authority to the City Manager, as specified in this resolution.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of Napa,
as follows:
1. The City Council hereby finds that the facts set forth in the recitals to this
Resolution are true and correct, and establish the factual basis for the City Council's
adoption of this Resolution.
2. The City Council hereby delegates authority to the City Manager to exercise
the authority and duty conferred or imposed on the City Council under the Disability
Retirement requirements of the Public Employees' Retirement Law (see California
Government Code Sections 21150 through 21203, particularly Section 21173). The City
Manager's authority under this resolution shall include the authority to:
a) make applications on behalf of the City to the CaIPERS Board, for disability
retirement of any City employee who is a member of CaIPERS (see
California Government Code Section 21152 (c));

Code Sections 21154, 21156, 21166, 21192); and
c) appoint a physician or surgeon to examine employees that are the subject
of a determination for disability retirement, or reinstatement from a disability
retirement.
3. The City Council hereby authorizes the City Manager to make a written
delegation of authority to a qualified City employee to exercise the City Manager's
authority under this resolution.

as a City Council Policy Resolution. The City Council hereby directs the City Clerk to
organize and publish this resolution as a part of the City Council Policy Resolutions.
