These proposed program and service enhancements, in addition to aligning with City Council goals and priorities, promote the deep-rooted value of kindness San Leandro embodies. Salary Adjustments The budget includes salaries and benets funding based on terms contained in existing Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) for three labor groups. Salaries and benets for time periods in 2023-24 and 2024-25 that are not covered by an existing MOUs are adjusted by 3%. Medical Insurance The budget and multi-year forecast include a 4% annual rate increase for medical and dental insurance cost. Retirement Plan Costs (CalPERS) The City contracts with CalPERS to administer its pension plans. Pension costs are made up of normal costs and unfunded accrued liability (UAL). Normal cost represents service credits earned by active employees in the current year and is calculated as a percentage of payroll. UAL is an amortized dollar amount to fund the difference between the estimated cost of pension benets for current and future retirees when compared to current assets. Based on actuarial valuation reports provided by CalPERS, the normal cost rates for Miscellaneous and Safety plans are expected to be slightly lower than 2022-23 rates. While benets remain unchanged, employer contributions are down due to prior year portfolio investment gains and higher employee contributions for two labor groups. Pension costs are estimated at approximately $22,500,000 for all funds. Fire Contract The 2023-24 proposed budget for the re services contract with the Alameda County Fire Department amounts to $32,027,000 and this amount is expected to increase to $33,276,000 in 2024-25. The contract provides for both emergency and non- emergency re services in the City. Transfers Out Transfers out of $6,911,000 in 2023-24 and $6,888,000 in 2024-25 include General Fund contributions to Capital Improvement Program projects, the Business Improvement District, the Gas Tax Fund, Self-Insurance Fund, and the Information Technology Fund.
