BACKGROUND INFORMATION: On October 10, 2012, Anne Mayer discussed with the Executive Committee the impacts affecting current and new employees in response to the new California Public Employees' Pension Reform Act of 2013 (PEPRA). Ms. Mayer conveyed that the Commission has undergone several significant organization changes in the past and is anticipating significant organizational changes in the future given the assumption of major new projects and new funding including toll operations, thereby warranting the need to conduct a compensation and organization study. In response to the PEPRA provisions and the comprehensive impacts affecting current and future employees, the Executive Committee deliberated on the issues affecting cost sharing of Employer Paid Member Contributions by current ,, employees and how to address the hiring of future employees who are already in the PERS system and options to help retain and attract qualified and talented employees while ensuring effective succession planning. Implementation of the first phase of requiring employees to pay their share of normal pension costs of 3 percent effective July 1, 2013, results in approximately $121 ,000 in an annual cost adjustment from fringe benefits to salaries. Given that employee's salaries will be offset with a 3 percent increase effective July 1, 2013, to offset their share of normal pension costs, this results in a limited financial impact to the Commission. CaiPERS requires a resolution be adopted to reflect the cost sharing of normal pension costs from employer to employee. The Commission will be required to adopt a new resolution each fiscal year for normal pension cost sharing adjustments of 3 percent in FY 2014/15 and the remaining 2 percent in FY 2015/16. A corresponding salary increase will be provided to employees each fiscal year respectively to offset their share of normal pension costs. The 8 percent EPMC paid by the Commission currently will be eliminated by FY 2015/16. The implementation of the normal pension .cost sharing has been reflected in the FY 2013/14 proposed budget that will be presented at the May Commission meeting.
