As discussed by Council, League of California Cities Representative Rexford
to communicate the following at the October 12� League meeting:
o Given that only three out of five Councilmembers were able to attend the
workshop on October 6, the discussion was not reflective of the views of
the entire City Council.
• Councilmembers in attendance expressed support for pension reform in
gene�al.
• Those in attendance support a regional approach to pension reform given
that statewide reform is unlikely.
• All Councilmembers in attendance agreed that employees shouid
contribute toward their pensions. Just how much will have to be
determined through the labor negotiations process.
