City of Bakersfield
The Board of Administration, California Public Employees' Retirement System, hereinafter
referred to as Board, and the governing body of the above public agency, hereinafter referred
to as Public Agency, having entered into a contract effective August 1, 1944, and witnessed
July 17, 1944, and as amended effective January 1, 1950, November 1, 1957, October 1,
1958, April 1, 1965, October 1, 1967, January 1, 1971, June 26, 1972, January 22, 1973,
May 23, 1973, September 19, 1973, April 24, 1974, January 1, 1977, September 25, 1978,
March 23, 1979, October 3, 1983, June 6, 1992, April 15, 1993, February 20, 1995, February
19, 1997, November 20, 1999 and May 25, 2001 which provides for participation of Public
Agency in said System, Board and Public Agency hereby agree as follows:
Paragraphs I through 15 are hereby stricken from said contract as executed effective
May 25, 2002, and hereby replaced by the following paragraphs numbered 1 through
15 inclusive:
All words and terms used herein which are defined in the Public Employees'
Retirement Law shall have the meaning as defined therein unless otherwise
specifically provided. "Normal retirement age" shall mean age 60 for local
miscellaneous members and age 50 for local safety members.
ORIGiNA~
Public Agency shall participate in the Public Employees' Retirement System
from and after August 1, 1944 making its employees as hereinafter provided,
members of said System subject to all provisions of the Public Employees'
Retirement Law except such as apply only on election of a contracting agency
and are not provided for herein and to all amendments to said Law hereafter
enacted except those, which by express provisions thereof, apply only on the
election of a contracting agency.
Employees of Public Agency in the following classes shall become members of
said Retirement System except such in each such class as are excluded by law
or this agreement:
a. Local Fire Fighters (herein referred to as local safety members);
b. Local Police Officers (herein referred to as local safety members);
Employees other than local safety members (herein referred to as local
miscellaneous members).
In addition to the classes of employees excluded from membership by said
Retirement Law, the following classes of employees shall not become members
of said Retirement System:
EXCLUDE ALL FIREMEN EMPLOYED ON OR PRIOR TO JUNE 26,
1972 EXCEPT THOSE IN EMPLOYMENT ON CONTRACT DATE WHO
WAIVED RIGHTS UNDER LOCAL SYSTEM; AND
SCHOOL CROSSING GUARDS AND POLICE CADETS HIRED ON OR
AFTER FEBRUARY 1, 1974.
Prior to January 1, 1975, those members who were hired by Public Agency on a
temporary and/or seasonal basis not to exceed 6 months were excluded from
PERS membership by contract. Government Code Section 20336 superseded
this contract provision by providing that any such temporary and/or seasonal
employees are excluded from PERS membership subsequent to January 1,
1975. Legislation repealed and replaced said Section with Government Code
Section 20305 effective July 1, 1994.
Assets heretofore accumulated with respect to members under the local
retirement system who waived their rights under that system have been
transferred to the Public Employees' Retirement System and applied against
the liability for prior service incurred thereunder. That portion of assets so
transferred which represent the accumulated contributions (plus interest
thereof) required of the employees under said local system have been credited
to the individual membership account of each such employee under the Public
Employees' Retirement System.
10.
The percentage of final compensation to be provided for each year of credited
prior and current service as a local miscellaneous member shall be determined
in accordance with Section 21354.3 of said Retirement Law (3% at age 60 Full).
[Note that future legislative proposals are being considered. One
proposal could amend the 3% at 60 benefit formula under Government
Code Section 21354.3 to coincide with the 2.7% at 55 benefit formula
under Section 21354.5 between the ages of 50 and 55. Another proposal
being considered could amend Government Code Section 21354.3 to
make the 3% @ 60 formula applicable to both active and inactive members
who have not yet retired. If enacted, this amendment could have an effect
on your agency's actuarial valuation and employer contribution rates in
future years.]
The percentage of final compensation to be provided for each year of credited
prior and current service as a local police member shall be determined in
accordance with Section 21362 of said Retirement Law (2% at age 50 Full).
The percentage of final compensation to be provided for each year of credited
prior and current service as a local fire member shall be determined in
accordance with Section 21362.2 of said Retirement Law (3% at age 50 Full).
Public Agency elected and elects to be subject to the following optional
provisions:
Section 21536 (Local System Service Credit Included in Basic Death
Benefit) for local fire members only.
Sections 21624 and 21626 (Post-Retirement Survivor Allowance) for
local safety members only.
c. Section 21571 (Basic Level of 1959 Survivor Benefits).

be an "employer" for purposes of Section 20834 effective on January 1, 1977.

thereafter shall be held by the Board as provided in Government Code Section
20834.

remittances. Adjustments on account of errors in contributions required of any
employee may be made by direct payments between the employee and the
Board.
