COMMUNICATIONS FROM THE CITY ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER (CAO) and CITY ATTORNEY and ORDINANCE FIRST CONSIDERATION relative to amending the Deferred Retirement Option Plan (DROP) for police officers, firefighters, harbor police officers and airport police officers.

 

Recommendations for Council action:

 

  1. PRESENT the accompanying ORDINANCE dated November 1, 2018 amending Los Angeles Administrative Code Sections 4.2100, 4.2101, 4.2102, 2103, and 4.2105 and adding Section 4.2110 to modify the terms and conditions of participation in DROP.

  2. AUTHORIZE the City Clerk and CAO to correct any clerical errors in the Ordinance, or, if approved by the City Attorney, any technical errors.

 

Fiscal Impact Statement:  The CAO reports that California Government Code Section 7507 specifies that an actuary who is an associate or fellow of the Society of Actuaries must provide a statement as to the impact of the proposed changes on the City’s future costs.  Los Angeles Charter Section 1218(c) also requires that, as a condition to the final adoption of an ordinance creating or modifying DROP benefits, City Council must be advised in writing by an enrolled actuary as to the cost of any proposed benefit changes.  In accordance with these provisions, the Segal Company prepared an actuarial statement that is attached to the November 1, 2018 CAO report, attached to the Council file. 

 

That statement concludes that the proposed changes will result in aggregate cost savings to the City of approximately $12.8 million in the first year.  However, Segal recommends that only the projected cost savings associated with the suspension of DROP payments in the amount of $6.8 million be considered in the first year and that projected cost savings associated with employees potentially delaying their retirement to make up for the suspension of DROP payments be reflected only after actual experience becomes available.
