Executive Summary: Staff is requesting the City Council approve an amendment to the City’s contract with the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) to modify employee retirement cost sharing provisions for employees in safety positions and classified as “New Members” under the Public Employees’ Pension Reform Act of 2013 (PEPRA). This includes members of the Fremont Association of Management Employees (FAME), Fremont Police Association (FPA), Fremont Police Management Association (FPMA), Fremont Professional Firefighters, International Association of Fire Fighters, Local 1689 (IAFF), and Battalion Chiefs, International Association of Fire Fighters, Local 1689 (IAFF-BC).
The proposed amendment to the City’s CalPERS contract is needed to comply with the cost-sharing terms that were negotiated and agreed to by the City and the affected employee bargaining groups in 2013 and further amended in 2019. The intent of the 2013 agreements and 2019 amendments was for Safety New Members to make an additional cost- sharing contribution, above the statutorily required minimum, for a total employee retirement contribution of 12%.
To comply with CalPERS’ requirements, the City Council must adopt a Resolution of Intention to Approve an Amendment to Contract and introduce an Ordinance Authorizing an Amendment to contract.
The ordinance was introduced by the City Council at its June 9, 2026 meeting. The ordinance is now before the Council for adoption
