Charter Amendment#220640Passed
In plain English

This legislation amends the city charter to change how cost of living benefits are funded for certain retired city employees, allowing for a cap on payments in years when the retirement system is not fully funded. It also adjusts retirement allowances for those retirees to account for missed cost of living adjustments in specific years and permits the Retirement Board to contract with new executive directors hired after January 1, 2023.

Charter Amendment (First Draft) to amend the Charter of the City and County of San Francisco to eliminate the full funding requirement for supplemental cost of living benefit payments to members of the San Francisco Employees’ Retirement System who retired before November 6, 1996, subject to a monthly monetary cap for retirees and their qualified survivors and beneficiaries in years that the Retirement System is not fully funded; adjust the base retirement allowance for these retirees, or their qualified survivors and beneficiaries, to account for supplemental cost of living adjustments not received in the years 2013, 2014, 2017, 2018 and 2019; and authorize the Retirement Board to enter into an individual contract with any Retirement System executive director hired on or after January 1, 2023; at an election to be held on November 8, 2022.
