Councilman Taylor stated that this plan is in addition to the PERS retirement program
and Social Security, which makes it three retirement plans that the employees will be receiving.
Mr. Taylor stated that he would like to see the figures and percentages for the PARS program.
Councilman Bruesch pointed out that social security benefits for PERS retirees may be
cut back to less than 40%.
Mr. Tripepi explained that the PARS program is a longevity entitlement which will cover
20 year employees that retire from the City. Mr. Tripepi stated that currently PERS can only
write up to 2%, and PARS allows for the supplemental 1%.

3 to 4% retirement packages and other benefits to attract and keep employees.

that staff provide the information that Councilman Taylor requested.
