board members and staff present at the day's meeting and thanked the Council for their
support.
A presentation on the Texas Municipal Retirement System (TMRS) and Salary and
Benefits Survey Project followed.
City Manager Garza explained the salary and benefits study analysis previously
distributed to the Council. Through the use of charts, he compared the City's vacation,
holiday, sick leave, long-term disability plan, insurance and retirements benefits, and salaries
to local private and public sector organizations.
Council Member Martin inquired whether the City offered social security benefits to
City employees. City Manager Garza replied in the affirmative, and stated that the one
exception was the City's firefighters.
Mr. Garza next reviewed and compared the City's benefit package to those offered
by surveyed cities in Texas and by cities of approximate size to Corpus Christi on the
national level. Responding to an inquiry from Council Member Martin about a referenced
percentage of an employer's contribution, Mr. Garza stated that he would provide a
verification of the figure. Mr. Garza further stated that the City has a defined contribution
plan with a cap of 11.5 percent on the City's contribution.
Mr. Garza next reviewed average retirement benefit levels of present annuitants
under TMRS and stated that the City is generally below local, state, and national levels.
A brief discussion followed.
Responding to Mr. Galindo's inquiry, Mrs. Cynthia Garcia, Director of Human
Resources, commented that the City's 1992 turn -over employment rate was 6.9 percent.
Further, Mr. Garza commented that the City has approximately 50 retirees annually.
Council Member Martin inquired about the percentage of salary an employee would
receive upon retiring after twenty years of employment with the City at the appropriate age.
In response, City Manager Garza introduced Mr. Gary Anderson, representative of Texas
Municipal Retirement System. Mr. Anderson commented that, since TMRS was a defined
contribution plan, and not a defined benefit plan, there was no definite formula to calculate
specific retirement benefits.
Council Member Martin suggested using caution when determining average
retirement rates because the rates are influenced by different retirement options available
to employees.
Mr. Anderson explained that, on a system -wide basis, the average annuitant is a 62
year old male with twenty-five years of service. He further stated that male retirees usually
choose a joint survivor option which results in a lower annuity.

Council Member Martin next inquired whether an average annuitant would have a
pension eligibility option in the 55 to 60 percent pre -retirement salary range. Mr. Anderson
stated that, under the City's plan, the annuitant could be in this range. Mr. Martin inquired
whether the pension percentages could be as high as 75 percent, and Mr. Anderson stated
that, when the employee had approximately 35 to 40 years of service with the City in a high
salary range, this could be possible. Mr. Martin inquired if a person served his/her working
career at the City, the 50 to 70 percent pension range would be normal, and Mr. Anderson
stated that this range would be more than normal. Mr. Anderson commented that the
federal government had determined that a reasonable level of retirement income
(maintaining the current standard of living) would be between 60-80 percent of a person's
pre -retirement income which would need to be replaced through primary retirement sources.
Council Member Moss stated that in the City's two -to -one match, the variable would
be the City's match, and Mr. Anderson agreed. Mr. Anderson further stated that City
contribution rates vary from year to year depending on the experience of the City and the
rate of employee turnover. Additionally, Mr. Moss inquired whether the current 10.74
percent under consideration was the twenty-five year average, and, therefore, the average
of actuarial determination over 25 years. Mr. Anderson answered that the rate for each
city is calculated separately by the actuary. Mr. Anderson further stated that the employer
contributions to TMRS are utilized when a person retires and draws a monthly benefit by
virtue of employment with the City. At this point, the City's contribution rate is calculated
based upon the individual characteristics of the City such as age and service characteristics
of the employee group.
Council Member Moss inquired whether fluctuating interest rates would affect the
fund. Mr. Anderson explained that by law TMRS's Board of Trustees set the rate of
interest credited to accounts within the retirement system each year based on the investment
return of the system. He stated that the rate as of December 31, 1992 would be 11 percent,
and the rate for the past nine years had been 11.3 percent. He stated that the interest rate
is gradually reducing because the system is not presently investing new funds at the same
rate of return as in prior years.
Council Member Moss inquired, if the City proceeds with Council Member
McComb's prior proposal to reduce the matching ratio of the City's contribution, would it
be retroactive and would people receive credit for the prior two -to -one contributions.
Responding, Mr. Anderson stated that, if the City made a change in the matching ratio on
a certain date, the reduction would apply only to benefits earned after that date.
Council Member Moss inquired about the effects a reduced City contribution would
have on current retirees. Mr. Anderson stated that singularly this concept would not affect
current retiree's benefits, but that the effect of not enrolling new employees in the
retirement system on an actuarial basis would be to erode the funding base of the plan.
Responding to Council Member McComb's inquiry, Mr. Anderson explained the
funding sources for contributions to the TMRS plan. He stated that existing retirees receive
monthly annuities consisting of two parts. The first part is the current service benefit which
is the obligation of TMRS (from the City's actuarially -determined contributions paid to
Minutes

Page 4
TMRS and placed in the City of Corpus Christi's TMRS Accumulation Fund account) and
is based on the member's (employee's) contributions in the fund up to the time of
retirement. He next explained the second part, updated service credits, which are amortized
over a twenty-five year period and that additionally fund benefits on top of the current
service benefits. He next stated that, if new enrollments did not continue, the payroll base
which is funding retirement benefits would decline because people would continue to leave
the City. In summation, Mr. Anderson stated that the current service credit portion is fully
funded, but the updated service credit portion is contingent upon the City's funding of the
program.
A brief discussion developed concerning current retirement annuity contributions.
Council Member Moss asked about the decrease in the City's contribution rate (from
10.74 percent to 10.10 percent) if the Council voted against updating service credits. City
Manager Garza stated that by adopting updated services credits (at a contribution rate of
10.07 percent), the result would be a .03 percent reduction in cost to the City for 1993 which
would be approximately $19,000. He further stated that, if the updated service credits were
not adopted, the City's contribution rate would be 10.10 percent the first of January of 1993.
Returning to earlier comments, Council Member Martin commented that, if the City
were to provide a different match on a certain date for new employees, the City could
contribute funds for the updated service credits to protect existing retirees. Mr. Anderson
stated that State law did not allow TMRS to provide a divided system. Mr. Martin then
commented that, if the law were changed to allow a split structure, current employees and
current retirees would not be adversely affected, only future unhired employees.
Mr. Anderson agreed.
Mr. Anderson next discussed the request submitted to the TMRS Board by the City
of Lubbock to lower their matching ratio for new employees. He stated that, after
significant consideration, the Board decided not to support or include such legislation in its
package to the State Legislature. He next discussed possible consequences to the City, as
well as TMRS, resulting from such a change.
Council Member Martin expressed concern that the TMRS Board did not support
flexibility in the system.
Responding to Council Member McComb, Mr. Anderson discussed current State law
governing the TMRS Board.
Council Member McComb stated that he felt the City has an obligation to current
employees to continue the two -to -one match, but expressed concern that a change could not
be made concerning new employees. Mr. Anderson stated that the City could not
discontinue present member coverage, but could elect not to enroll new employees.
City Manager Garza commented that the result of this policy and current law could
compel cities to opt out of the TMRS system because the choices are limited. Council
Member Martin suggested that the City of Corpus Christi and the City of Lubbock make
Minutes

a presentation to TMRS requesting support to change the laws governing the contribution
rate which would also protect the system.
Responding to Council Member Martin, Mr. Anderson discussed the short and long
term effects a reduction in the City's match would have on TMRS as well as participating
cities.
Mr. Anderson next discussed the City's present assets and unfunded actuarial liability
held by TMRS. A lengthy discussion followed.
Council Member Guerrero expressed the importance of ascertaining the cost to the
taxpayers for the program.
Responding to Council Member McNichols, City Manager Garza explained that
Item 2 was updating service credits and that adopting such ordinance would reduce the
City's contribution from 10.10 percent to 10.07 percent. Mr. Garza stated that prior City
policy had been to adopt the updated service credits, and recommended adoption.
Council Member Slavik raised issues which could be addressed at a workshop on the
matter.
Council Member Martin commented that he supported the updated service credits
because it kept the City current with costs. Mr. Martin further inquired whether the City
should have a financial goal of reducing the amortization period. City Manager Garza
commented that a shorter amortization period would eventually cause the contribution rate
to be prohibitive. A brief discussion followed.
Mayor Rhodes expressed appreciation to Mr. Anderson.
2. ORDINANCE NO. 021536

determined contribution rate for the City of Corpus Christi of 10.07% for 1993 which
