Carbffuna.,&._ City Manager Subject: Amendments to the 401A Defined Contribution Plan Administrative Recommendation TELEPHONE: (306) 673-7010 FAX: (306) 673-7712 March 3, 1993 The Administration Recommends that the City Commission hold a public hearing and approve the proposed amendments to the Defined Contribution Pension Plan Ordinance on second reading. When the Administration brought forth the Ordinance on the creation of a defined contribution pension plan as an alternate to the defined benefit pension plan as amended for unclassified employees, an option on the contribution levels that the employee could elect to contribute was included. In the process of implementing this program for our employees, it has been determined that by allowing employees the option on the amount of their contributions a 401K plan has been created. Analysi In the tax law changes in 1986 any local government that had a 401K type plan was allowed to continue such a plan. However, no additional 401K type plans were to be allowed to be created by local governments. The 401A plan is an alternative to the 401K which is acceptable under the Tax Code but a set contribution must be mandated to the employees in the plan. The amendments proposed will modify the existing Ordinance the mandate a ten percent (10%) contribution by the employee which makes the plan a 401A ins:ea" of a 4:1;:;- Conclusion i::'Z. Conclusion The amendments proposed are necessary for the implementation of the Defined Contribution Pension Plan under the Tax Code and approval of the amendments is requested.
