EL SEGUNDO HERALD: Pub. 9/14,
9/21, 9/28, 10/5/2017 H-1696
Public safety employee costs will swell from
$8.4 million to an astounding $14.7 million. A
presentation to the Council by Public Agency
Retirement Services (PARS) Senior Vice
President Dennis Yu elaborated further on the
growing fiscal crisis. As the California Public
Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS)
continues to drop its discount rate (what the
agency assumes its investments will return
in a typical fiscal year), the City’s unfunded
pension liability in turn edges upward. CalPERS
phased that rate down to seven percent
from 7.5 percent, with a chance for it to sag
to as low as six percent in the not-so-distant
future. The unfunded liability (the amount the
City owes for retirees who no longer work
here) is now up from $112 million in 2015
to $134 million today. This is separate from
the “normal costs” for employees currently
still working at City Hall. “A lot of cities are
in the same boat,” Yu said of the plight of
El Segundo and other municipalities seeing
pension costs take up increasingly larger
portions of their overall budgets.
One option to reduce those long-term costs
is a Section 115 Trust—a vehicle recently
approved by the IRS allowing public agencies
to prefund their pension liabilities. Yu noted
that this approach provides “much greater
flexibility” and retains “local control” over
assets so the City can pull out money at
any time from the trust to pay its CalPERS
contribution and can also diversify investments.
Some cities choose to lower reserves
and put money into the trust since average
investment returns tend to be higher than the
general fund. Nearby Manhattan Beach is
one of 98 other agencies that have adopted
this program.
In a second presentation, Phillip Curls
and Brian Whitworth from Hilltop Securities
discussed the possibility of the City taking
out a bond to essentially replace its CalPERS
payments. The City could refinance at
20 or even 15 years to greatly reduce the
amount of interest paid over time. According
to estimates, the City could save $66
million via this program over 30 years and
eliminate the majority of negative amortization
(an increase in principal balance caused by
making payments that fail to cover the interest
due). The downside is that general fund
costs will rise by about $2 million the first
year of implementation, with slight increases
the next couple of years before savings kick
in—with the bulk of those savings realized
in years 21-30. “We’re looking long-term
rather than year by year,” Finance Director
Joseph Lillio explained.
While the Council did not make a final
decision on either of the above options, it
may choose to employ one or the other
or a combination of both going forward.
Regardless, official implementation would
not take effect until the 2018/19 fiscal year.
Lillio spoke of the Council having “multiple
solutions” and opined that a move to
eliminate negative amortization would be
“financially prudent.” Mayor Pro Tem Drew
Boyles said the City should “do more to
pay down CalPERS in the future” and deal
with the issue ‘as quickly and aggressively
as possible.” Councilmember Don Brann,
who originally called for the formation of
the pension subcommittee, questioned why
the City sits on 18 percent reserves that earn
very little interest “when we have this kind
of debt built up.”
In keeping reserve levels at 18 percent
rather than moving to 19 (note: the Council’s
stated plan was to ease back up to the
past level of 20 percent), the City’s surplus
will increase by nearly $700,000 to the
aforementioned $3.3 million instead of $2.6
million. The Council agreed to take that one
percent and apply it towards paying down
the CalPERS unfunded liability to save $1
million in interest payments.
One caveat—whatever is paid into CalPERS
cannot be recovered once remitted. So
should the City prefund a large amount or
pay off a CalPERS balance with a bond, it
won’t have recourse to get its money back
if the State of California embarks on major
pension reform to reduce future liability for
public agencies. That being said, most experts
feel the odds of a significant revamp of the
system are small.
In addition to studying options to reduce
pension costs, the Council could address
future deficits by using monies from the
economic uncertainty fund that currently
has a $2 million balance, leaving personnel
vacancies unfilled (including openings
from upcoming retirements), and looking
at alternative revenue sources. On that note,
staff will present a fee study in December
for the Council to consider. •
