California Public Employees' Retirement System Audit Regarding Pay
SUBJECT: Schedule Requirements and Adjustment of Employer-Paid Member
Contributions Reporting
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for the Committee to:
1) Adopt Resolution No. 15-002 "Resolution of Riverside County Transportation
Commission Adopting the Fiscal Year 2012/2013 Publicly Available Pay Schedule as
Required by Ca/PERS";
2) Adopt Resolution No. 15-003 "Resolution of Riverside County Transportation
Commission Adopting the Fiscal Year 2013/2014 Publicly Available Pay Schedule as
Required by Ca/PERS";
3) Adopt Resolution No. 15-004 "Resolution of Riverside County Transportation
Commission Adopting the Fiscal Year 2014/2015 Publicly Available Pay Schedule as
Required by Ca/PERS";
4) Adopt Resolution No. 15-005 "Resolution of Riverside County Transportation
Commission Adjusting Reporting of Employer Paid Member Contributions"; and
5) Forward to the Commission for final action.
BACKGROUND IN FORMATION:
Throughout 2014, the California Public Employees' Retirement System (CalPERS) Office of Audit
Services conducted an audit of the Commission's payroll reporting and member enrollment
practices for the period of July 1, 2010 through July 10, 2013. The audit returned with two
findings -both of which are administrative in nature. The purpose of this staff report is for the
Commission to address both findings. The two findings involve the need for the Commission,
rather than the Executive Committee, to approve an annual salary schedule and to take action
to resolve inconsistent reporting to CalPERS in previous years regarding the employer-paid
member contributions (EPMC).
Agenda Item 5
------------------------------------------------------
Salary Schedule Approval
The Commission's Administrative Code was revised when the Commission was reorganized in
1998, to make the Executive Committee responsible for overseeing and approving staff
functions and salary schedules. Following this procedure, the Commission's salary schedules
have historically been approved by the Executive Committee, subject to possible
reconsideration by the Commission if requested under the processes set forth in the
Administrative Code. The audit report found this process did not conform to the requirements
of Section 570.5 of Title 2 of the California Code of Regulations, which requires that salary
schedules meet the requirements of publicly available pay schedules as outlined in
Section 5 70.5.
Staff disagrees with the auditor's conclusion since the Commission's Administrative Code clearly
assigns jurisdiction over personnel and staffing issues to the Executive Committee.
Commission's legal staff argued that approval by the Executive Committee (a fully noticed
Brown Act meeting) with the option of it being pulled for hearing by a Commissioner complied
with the law. That argument was rejected by CalPERS. The Commission could appeal CalPERS'
conclusion, however, staff believes the better course is to take the necessary steps to ensure
the Commission's salary schedules are deemed publicly available pay schedules as that term is
interpreted by CalPERS. Therefore, staff is requesting that the Commission adopt the above
referenced Resolutions No. 15-002, 15-003, and 15-004 including the respective salary
schedules, which are identical to the salary schedules previously approved by the Executive
Committee and included in the budgets approved by the Commission beginning in FY 2015/16.
In the future, the Commission will continue to comply with the procedures outlined in its
Administrative Code however will ensure the annually approved salary schedule for all staff will
be considered separately and approved by the Commission during the budget process.
Additionally, the Commission always complied, and will continue to comply, with the law and
requirements of the State Controller to post its salary schedule and positions on its website.
Commission Reporting to Ca/PERS
In the course of this same audit Cal PERS also requested that the Commission adopt a resolution
to reconcile EPMC paid and reported by the Commission to CalPERS on behalf of employees,
the EPMC reflected in the Commission's personnel policies and the EPMC documented in the
Commission's EPMC resolution for the period commencing on July 1, 2010 and concluding on
July 10, 2013 (Modification Period), the day before the phase out of the EPMC began.
In 2003, the Commission's contract with CalPERS was amended to change the retirement
formula and to increase the normal member contribution. However, this amendment to the
Commission's CalPERS contract did not adjust CalPERS' records to reflect a corresponding
change in the EPMC then in effect from 7 percent to 8 percent.
Agenda Item 5
The auditor requested that the Commission adopt a resolution that is applicable only for the
Modification Period in order to reconcile the Commission's policies regarding the EPMC with
CalPERS' records. This action will ensure the Commission's prior actions and employees'
expectations consistent with the foregoing actions are reflected in Cal PERS' records. Therefore,
staff is requesting the Board adopt Resolution No. 15-005 which reflects a 8 percent EPMC for
employees hired prior to November 28, 2003, and a 7 percent EPMC for employees hired on or
after November 28, 2003. This resolution is only applicable for the Modification Period. It does
not affect Resolution No. 14-009 which documents the phase out of the EPMC for all employees
beginning on July 11, 2013. The Commission's reporting was based on advice given to it at the
time by CalPERS, which has now proven to be inconsistent. The proposed resolution will clarify
the reporting and will not have a fiscal impact on past or current employees or the Commission
itself. In looking forward to the future, the issue becomes a moot point since RCTC has phased
out the EPMC.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no direct fiscal impact associated with these recommended actions. Adoption of the
Resolutions simply ensures that the Commission's policies regarding publicly available pay
schedules and the payment and reporting of EPMC are consistent.
