Executive Summary:
Request Board of Supervisors (“Board”) approval to appoint Anthony Withington and Peggy Betchley to serve an additional 2-year term of the Independent Citizens Pension Committee (“Committee”). Mr. Withington and Ms. Benchley were originally appointed to the Committee in September 2017 for a 2-year term. This appointment of an additional 2-year term will continue their membership on the Committee to September 11, 2021.
The other 3 members of the Committee were appointed in September 2017 to a 3- year term ending in September 2020. Currently, there are two vacancies on the Committee with terms ending September 2021, which the Committee recommends keeping vacant until after the Charter Changes are adopted by the Board tentatively anticipated for March 2020.
Discussion:
The Board has adopted Pension Reform as one of its key priorities, with a goal of ensuring a fair, equitable, and sustainable pension system for taxpayers and employees alike. In April 2017, the Board created the 7-member Committee to represent the best interests of the entire community in a non-partisan manner, and to help improve communication between the County and local residents on pension issues.
The scope of the Committee is intended to improve accountability and transparency of the County’s pension reporting, and provide a way for the County to engage citizens in the process of developing and refining its pension reform strategies.

09-12-2017: Appointed seven individuals to serve in the Independent Citizens Pension Advisory Committee
04-25-2017: Approved the charter for the 2016-17 Pension Ad Hoc Advisory Committee; adopted a Resolution to establish an ongoing Independent Citizens Pension Committee and approved its charter; and directed the Pension Ad Hoc and staff to initiate an open application process.
