This reaffirmation is required by the California Public Employment <br />Retirement System (CalPERS). <br />BACKGROUND <br />The City of San Leandro, as a contract member of CalPERS, may make determinations <br />relating to Local Safety Members’ industrial disability retirement applications. When CalPERS <br />receives an application for industrial disability retirement filed by, or on behalf of an employee, <br />the City is required to determine whether the employee is incapacitated or “disabled” from <br />performing his/her job duties and, if so, whether their disability is an “industrial” disability. <br />In accordance with Government Code sections 21173 and 21156, the governing body of a <br />contracting agency may delegate authority to make the determination of disability. On <br />February 4, 1974, the City Council adopted Motion No. 1072 delegating authority to the City <br />Manager to make these determinations under the California Public Employee’s Retirement <br />Law. <br />Recently, CalPERS began reviewing paper records and determined that Motion No. 1072 <br />does not comply with the currently established resolution format and does not have the proper <br />signature required by CalPERS. <br />Analysis <br />Page 1 City of San Leandro Printed on 11/16/2016
