HD.~ CITY AlTYV)CB CITY MQR..& RECOMMENDED ACTION: The City Council adopt Resolution No. 7548' authorizing the City Manager to submit applications for disability retirements to PERS on behalf of the city. ITEM EXPLANATION: The Public Employees' Retirement System grants three types of retirements--service, disability, and industrial disability. Service retirements may be requested only by the employee who meets a combination of service and age requirements and is granted by the system. Industrial disability retirements are only available to safety personnel and are requested by the individual. A disability retirement can be requested by either the employee or the employer and is granted by PERS. To qualify an employee must have five years of service and a disability which prevents the employee from performing his/her job. The disability can result from work or non-work injuries or illness. The disability retirement pay is computed the same way service retirement pay is computed. There is no special compensation. Government Code Section 21023 provides that an application for disability retirement may be made by the employee or by the City Council, or an official of the city designated by the City Council. The attached resolution would authorize the City Manager to make application for disability retirement on behalf of the city. FISCAL IMPACT: None as a result of this action.
