PARTICIPATION IN STATE )j]JPLOYEES I RETIREi!;ENT SYSTEM WlIERFAS, the State Employees I Retirement Law permits the participation of public agencies in the State Employees' Retirement System, by the execution of a contract making their employees members of said System, and sets forth the procedure by which said public agencies may elect to subject themselves and their employees to arlendments to said law, providing for a guaranteed percentage of final compensation for each year of service as "Member", and providing for the portion of compensation to be in- cluded in computations WIder said law; and . \TIIEREt,S, one' step in said procedure is the adoption by the legislative body of the public agency, of a resolution giving notice of its intention to approve an amend- ment to a contract between said governing board and the Board of Administraticn of said Retirement Systa~, providing for said participation, which said resolution shall contain a summary of the major provisions of the proposed RetiraTllent System; and W!1EREAS, the following is a smmnary of the major provisions of the proposed Retirement System: . l. The System is administered by a board of eightmembers, composed of three members of the System, an official of a bank, an official of a life insurance company, the Director of Finance, a member of the state Personnel Board, and an official of the University of California. 2. Retirement for service is optional upon attainment of age 55 by lo- cal firemen and local policemen, and age 60 or age SS at the election of the Public AGen~, by other employees, and completion of twenty years of service for the Public Agen~, and is compulsory at ace 65 for local firemen and local policemen, and at age 70 for other en?lo~'ees. . 3. The monthlJ' retirement allowance payable upon retirement for service is dependent upon such factors as age, sex, salary and years of ser-' vice. For local firemen and local policemen, retiring at age 55 in paragraph 2, or at a higher age with 20 years of service, the month- ly allowance is approximately one-half the average monthly salary during the five years L~ediately preceding retirement, unless the Public Agen~ elects to provide prior service benefits at less than the full amount. For other Agency employees, the monthly allowance, upon retirement at age 65 if the Agen~ elects 60 as the lowest op- tional service retirement age, is approximately 1/70th of the aver- age monthly salary during the five years immediately preceding retirement, for each year of service after the effective date of participation, plus approximately 1/70th, or less as may be pro- vided in said contract by the Public Agency for its employees, of "final compensation" or of the average monthly salary during the three years immediately preceding the effective date of partici- pation, for each year of service prior to that date. Upon retire- ment at age 60, if the agen~ elects 55 as the lowest optional service retirement age, the fraction is approximately l/60th instead of 1/70th.
