Workforce Summary
9 Pension/OPEB Reserve Policy
The City commits half of the increase in the General Fund unassigned residual fund balance from the end of the prior fiscal year to advance pay-down of pension/OPEB obligations
The General Fund unassigned residual fund balance did not increase from June 2022 to June 2023 due to one-time
projected use of fund balance in FY 2023-24 and FY 2024-25 No advance pay-down is recommended according to the
funding formula, although Council could direct staff to return with options for a discretionary contribution
