Board adopts CalPERS compensation-reporting resolution after regulatory change
Summary
Trustees approved resolution 26-27-01 to align district compensation reporting with a recent CalPERS regulatory change that altered the definition of creditable compensation; the resolution passed on a roll-call vote of five ayes.
The Lammersville Joint Unified Board adopted Governing Board Resolution 26-27-01 to establish district compensation-reporting practices in response to a change in the California Public Employees' Retirement System (CalPERS) regulation.
During the staff report Dr. Nicholas explained that CalPERS revised the definition of "creditable compensation," which affects which forms of pay count toward retirement credit. "CalPERS changed the definition of what is creditable compensation and so based on that regulation change and the board approval, then certain employees don't get creditable compensation for, let's say, vacation time if it's not specific to their job description and job duties," he said.
Trustee Lisa Boulet moved approval; Trustee Stephanie Olsen seconded. The clerk conducted a roll-call vote: Lisa Boulet, Benita Daniel, Sameek Modi, Stephanie Olsen and David Pombo each voted aye; the resolution carried 5–0.
The resolution changes district reporting practices to match the CalPERS definition and staff warned that affected employees who do not meet the new criteria may lose creditable compensation for certain pay categories. The board did not identify individual employees during the meeting and did not take personnel action.
