RECOMMENDATION
title
Adopt an Ordinance amending Napa County’s contract with the Board of Administration of the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) for unrepresented employees. (No Fiscal Impact; Discretionary)
body
BACKGROUND
On August 19, 2025, the Board of Supervisors introduced an Ordinance amending the County’s contract with CalPERS to change retirement cost-sharing contributions for Unrepresented Management and Confidential employees.
The County's Management Compensation Plan guarantees these unrepresented employees the same terms as those in the Napa Association of Public Employees Public Services Supervisory (PSE Supervisory) Unit MOU. The Board previously affirmed a 0.410% rate reduction for PSE Supervisory employees in Retirement Tiers I and II, bringing their cost share of the employer’s rate to 1.936%. This amendment extends that same 0.410% reduction to Unrepresented Management Miscellaneous, Confidential Miscellaneous, and Safety employees in Retirement Tiers I and II.
This amendment will not change the cost sharing formula. Unrepresented Management and Confidential employees voted to approve the cost sharing rates agreed to in the County’s Management Compensation Plan.
Requested Action:
1. Adopt the ordinance.
