RCRC and Member Counties Staff to Attend CalPERS Invite-Only Meeting

On Sunday, Leroy Anderson, Tehama County Auditor-Controller, Debi Bautista, Tuolumne County Auditor-Controller, and Chester Robertson, Modoc County Administrative Officer will join Lisa McCargar, RCRC Chief Financial Officer, at an invite-only meeting hosted by senior managers of the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS).  The purpose of the meeting is to provide CalPERS and stakeholders the opportunity to share information on critical issues surrounding pension funding, costs, and sustainability. 

The meeting will be attended by approximately 35 participants, with representatives from schools, public agency employer associations, employer executives, CalPERS executives, and CalPERS Board Members. 

RCRC continues to monitor and participate on issues related to employee relations and pensions noting that costs to most rural counties who participate in CalPERS have dramatically escalated in recent years.  RCRC will provide an update from the October 22, 2017 meeting in next week’s Barbed Wire.  RCRC’s employee relations and pensions write-up can be accessed here.
