None. The City is not making anv contributions on behalf of

totally funded by employee contributions.
DESCRIPTION: On June 21,2005, the City Coundl adopted Resolution No. 116-05, which amended
the City's Benefit Plan. Included in the amcndment provisions to the benefit plan was a provision
(covered in Resolution No. 116-05, Section 9) to allow employees to participate on a voluntary basis, in
additional deferred compensation programs administered by the International City Management
Association (ICMA); with the stipulation that any such program would not require additional
contributions by the City on behalf of employces.
Currently, the City is enrolled in a Section 457 deferred compensation program, which allows employees
to deter a portion of their salary for retirement, subject to limitations established by the Internal Revenue
Service (IRS). ICMA has worked with the IRS to establish new deferred compensation programs, which
also permit employees to deter additional funds toward retirement.
One of these options is the 401 (a) Governmental Money Purchase Plan, which allows employees to defer
a portion of their salary and accrued vacation benefits for retirement, over and above the amount that can
be deferrcd into the Section 457 defcrred compensation program presently being offered by the City_
This program will allow employees to direct the amounts deferred into investments of their choice and are
subject to limitations as established by the IRS.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached resolution to
establish an Employee Paid 401(a) Governmental Money Purchase Plan, and authorize the City Manager
to execute the Administrative Service Agreement for the above noted plan.
