At various times between May 20, 2008 and June 30, 2008, the CITY may offer to some of its employees additional retirement service credit pursuant to Government Code Section 31641.04, as an incentive for those employees to retire. Such additional service credit shall not exceed the following amount of service credit per eligible employee. No. of Years of City Employment Completed Service Credit 5-10 years 0.5 years 11-20 years 1 year > 20 years 2 years 2. In granting such additional retirement service credit, the CITY will comply with all of the conditions and requirements set forth in Government Code Section 31641.04, including, but not limited to, the requirement that the San Juan Capistrano City Council must adopt one or more resolutions containing all of the information required by said Section 31641.04. From and after the date of this Agreement, each resolution adopted by the CITY in connection with the ' Early Retirement Incentive Plan shall also state that notwithstanding any other provision of the resolution, the amount of additional retirement service credit granted to employees pursuant to such resolution will in no event cause the retirement allowance of any employee to exceed the EXHIBIT A maximum benefit allowed under Section 415 of the Internal Revenue Code (including all special Govemment plan limits), for participants of tax -qualified retirement plans. 3. In accordance with subsection (a)(3) of Government Code Section 31641.04, for each CITY employee who receives additional retirement service credit pursuant to said statute, the CITY must transfer to OCERS an amount of money determined by the Board of Retirement to be the actuarial equivalent of the difference between the retirement allowance such employee receives after the receipt of service credit under this section and the amount he or she would have received without such service credit. It is impractical to calculate this amount until after the employees who receive such additional service credit have actually retired. Therefore, the parties agree that the calculation of such amounts, and time and manner of payment (including interest), shall be as follows: (a) As soon as practicable after June 30, 2008, OCERS will provide its actuary with relevant information pertaining to all employees of the CITY who retired between May 20, 2008 and June 30, 2008, and who were granted additional retirement service credit pursuant to Government Code Section 31641.04. Based on the information provided by OCERS, the actuary will calculate, for each such employee, the actuarial equivalent of the difference between the allowance the retired employee receives with such additional service credit, and the amount the retiree would have received without such service credit. (b) As soon as practicable after June 30, 2008, OCERS will provide the CITY with a statement that sets forth the amounts calculated by the actuary pursuant to the preceding paragraph, and the CITY will be obligated to pay such amount to OCERS in accordance with Government Code Section 31841.04. The CITY will pay OCERS the present value amount per the actuary calculations to be paid in full no later than December 31, 2008. Interest will accrue on all unpaid amounts from the date the employee retires until the date of payment. The interest rate will be the same as the actuarial Interest assumption rate, which is currently seven and three quarters (7.75) percent per year, but may be periodically adjusted pursuant to Government Code Section 31453 up to an amount not to exceed ten (10) percent per year. 4. If, for any reason, the CITY fails to make the payment required under this agreement on or before the date such payment is due (for any reason), the Board of Retirement of OCERS may make a demand to the CITY for immediate payment of the amount due. The CITY shall then, within 30 days, transfer the amount required to the County Advance Reserve Account of the Retirement Fund. WHEREFORE, the parties have entered into this agreement as of the date first written above.
