Financial Impact on County’s Retirement System
Government Code Section 31515.5 requires the County to provide the estimated financial impact that proposed benefit changes or salary increases for current employees would have on the funding status of SamCERA‘s retirement fund, the County’s retirement system.
As reflected in the attached letter from SamCERA’s actuary, Milliman, the changes reflected in this amendment, specifically the adjustment to the salary of the Airports Manager that are in addition to the assumed annual salary increases of affected current employees, increases the Actuarial Accrued Liability (AAL) by approximately $76,000. While the Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liability (UAAL) of SamCERA will be higher by this amount, the funded ratio, rounded to the nearest one basis point, will be unchanged.
COMMUNITY IMPACT:
These amendments to the Master Salary Resolution ensure that pay for County classifications are externally and internally competitive; and that positions and vacancies are classified appropriately as to maintain pay equity, pay transparency and promote the goals of diverse and inclusive hiring consistent with the Human Resources Department’s mission and values.
FISCAL IMPACT:
These actions represent an estimated monthly salary and benefits cost of $66,223 or an annual cost estimate of $794,677.
