Bonett~, of Richfield Oil Crop., requested that the word 'sale' be clarified for sales taxing purposes. In referring to the Civil Code, Section 1739, Rule 5, the sale or transfer of title occurs at the point of delivery. If a business delivers personal property' outside of the City Limits, no City sales tax would be paid; whereas, if a consumer buys the personal property inside the City and takes delivery inside the City, the retailer would then have to pay the City sales tax.

The System is administered by a board of eIght members, composed of three members of the 'System, an of- ficial of a bank, an official of a life insurance company, the Director of Finance, a member of the State Per- sonnel Board, and an official of the University of California. 2. Retirement for service is option- al upon attainment of age 55 by local firemen and local policemen, and a.ge 60 or age 55 at the election of the Public Agency, by other employees, and completion of twenty years of service for the PUblic Agency, and is compulsory at age 65 for local fire- men and iocal policemen, and at age 70 for other employees. 3. The monthly retirement dHow- ance payable upon retirement for ser- Vice is dependent upon such factors as age, sex, salary and years of service. For local firemen and local policemen, retiring at age 55 in paragraph 2, or at a higher age with 20 years of service, the monthly allowance is ap- proximately one-half the average monthly salary during the five years immediately preceding retirement, un- less the Public Agency elects to pro- vide prior service benefits at less than the full amount. For other Agency employees, the monthly allowance, upon retirement at age 65, if the Agency elects 60 as the lowest option- al service retirement age, is approx- imately 1/70th of the average month- ly salary during the five years im- mediately preceding retirement, for each year of service after the effect- ~ I I. __, ive date of participation, plus approx- imately 1/70th, or less as may be provided in said contract by the Pub- lic Agency for its employees, of "final compensation" or of the aver- age monthly salary during the three years immediateiy preceding the ef- fective date of participation, for each year of service prior to that date. Up- on retirement at age 60, if the agency elects 55 as the lowest optional ser- vice retirement age, the fraction is approximately 1/60th instead of 1/70th. 4. A minimum service retirement allowance of $40 per month is guar- anteed upon retirement at age 70 with credit for service rendered prior to said effective date, 'if the Public Agency elects age 60 as the lowest optional sen'1ce retirement age, or a minimum allowance of $60 per rnonth upon retirement at age 65 or over with twenty years of service, or upon retirement at age 70 with credit for prior service, if the Public Agency elects age 55 as the lowest optional service retirement age, 5. Retirement for disability, except in the case of local firemen and local policemen disabled from injury aris- ing out of and in the course of em- ployment, is permitted only after ten years of service and upon proof of in- capacity for the performance of duty. 6. The monthly retirement allow- ance payable upon disability retire- ment, described in preceding item 5, is dependent upon such factors ,as age, salary and years of service, but gen- erally is equal to 90% of 1/70th, or 1/60l:h as the case may 'be, of the average monthly salary during the five years immediately preceding re- tirement, for each year of service, with a guarantee of 25% of said sal- ary, subject to certain restrictions and modifications. 7. Disability retirement of local firemen and local policemen, in the event of disability arising out of and in the course of employment, is per- mitted regardless of age and service, the monthly retirement allowance be- ing one-half the average monthly sal- ary during the five years immediately preceding retirement. 8. The benefit payable at death be- fore retirement, except in the case of local firemen and local policemen dy- ing from 'injury arising out of and in the course of employment, consists of the contributions of the member plus interest, and plus 1/12th of the mem- ber's annual salary during the year immediately preceding death, for each year, not exceeding six years, of ser- vice as a member of the System. Up- on death after retirement, and at the election of the Public Agency, a ben- efit of $300 is payable, 9. The monthly allowance payable to the widow and children, at the death of local firemen and local pol'icemen arising out of and in the course of employment, is one-half the average monthly sala!'y during the five years immediately preceding death. 10, The benefit upon separation from service by other cause than r;\;/~:"l 1 8 i -.i;..11 353 death or retirement, is the refund of the member's contributions, with in- terest. Members having accumulated contributions of at least $500 upon resignation or discharge, may elect irrevocably, within ninety days, to leave contributions in the Retirement Fund, and then upon reaching the lowest optional service retirement age or becoming disabled, to be entitled to will be provided by their and the Agency's contri'butions and their credited service, regardless of service rendered. 11. Contributions required of local firemen and local policemen, without credit for prior serv1ce, depend upon salary and upon age of entry into the Retirement System, the contributions per $100 of salary varying from $7.63 at entry age 21, to $14.35 at entry age 35. Contributions of firemen and policemen having credit for prior ser- vice depend on salary, entry age, and amount of prior service, the amount of contributions per $100 being $16.33 for example, at entry age 54, with 1'9 years of prior service. 12. For other agency employees, the contributions depend upon salary, sex and age of entry into the Retire- ment System, the contributions per $100 of salary varying from $4.62 at age 20, to $7.99 at age 64, for men, and from $5,36 at age 20, to $'9.45 at age 64, for women, all based on the Public Agency's election of age 60 as the lowest optional service retire- ment age. If the Public Agency elects age 55 as the lowest optional service retirement age, the contributions per $100 of salary vary from $7.36 at age 20, to $10.88 at age 59, for men, and from $8.35 at age 20, to $12.81 at age 59, for women. 13. The Agency is required to con- tribute the balance of funds nec- essary to meet the cost of the ben- efits provided under the Retirement System for the Agency employees. The Agency also is required to pay its proportionate share of the administra- tive costs of the System. 14. Ability of the Retirement Sys- tem to pay benefits is safeguarded by a provision authorizing the Board of Administration to reVise contribu- tions of both employees and the Ag- ency, in the light of experience under the System. BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Coun:cil of 'City of Livermore, give, and it hereby gives notices of in- tention to approve a contract between said City Council and the Board of Administration of the State Employ- ees' Retirement System, providing for the participation of said City of Liver- more in said Retirement System, a copy of said contract being attached hereto, marked "Exhibit A", and by reference made a part hereof.
