Most City employees are members of the San Francisco Employee Retirement System (SFERS). Certain City employees, including probation officers and district attorney investigators, are members of the Public Employees Retirement System (PERS). These employees are referred to as "miscellaneous safety employees." The Charter permits the City to contract with PERS to provide retirement benefits to these employees if there is "no net increase in cost" to the City.

The Proposal:

Proposition B is a Charter amendment that would allow the City to amend its contract with PERS to change the retirement benefits for miscellaneous safety employees even if there is an increase in the cost of the contract. Any increase in the cost of the contract would be paid by the employees rather than the City.

Meaning of Voting Yes/No

A YES vote of this measure means:

you want to allow the City to amend its contract with the Public Employees Retirement System to change the retirement benefits for miscellaneous safety employees, as long as any increase in the cost of the contract is paid by the employees rather than the City.

A NO vote of this measure means:

you do not want to make these changes.
