CITY OF SAN BERNAf LINO - REQUEST FO'- COUNCIL ACTION
STAFF REPORT
On July 16, 1990, the Mayor and Common Council established the street lighting and street
sweeping assessment district. As part of the establishment of the district, a determination
was made to utilize the General Fund dollars which were previously obligated to fund street
lighting services for law enforcement services.
A commitment was also made in the first year of this program to use a portion of these
monies to enhance police benefits. The San Bernardino Police Officers' Association
(SBPOA) decided on a goal of establishing a trust fund for retired Police Safety Employees.
The amount transferred to the trust fund will total $438,126.
The purpose of the Trust Fund is "providing and paying . . . pursuant to the SBPOA
Medical Premium Reimbursement Plan . . . a portion of the premium for coverage in an
established health plan for certain retired employees of the San Bernardino Police Department
who retired with 20 years of service on or after July 1, 1990." SBPOA has agreed to
establish a cap for premium payments.
Participation in the Trust Fund will be voluntary. New officers will be eligible to sign up
for the Trust Fund during an 18-month "window period," which begins after 12 months of
service and continues for another 18 months until they reach their "D" step as a Police
Officer.
On February 3, 1993, the Mayor and Common Council imposed new contract terms and
conditions on Police Safety Employees. The terms and conditions included language on
"New Employees - POA Trust Fund," stating that:
"Within one (1) month of completion and ratification of rules, regulations and
bylaws for the Trust Fund, an agreed-upon date will be set to meet and confer
on New Employees - POA Trust Fund."
The City has held three (3) meet and confer sessions with the San Bernardino Police
Officers' Association on the POA Trust Fund: May 21, 1992; January 29, 1993; and,
February 12, 1993.
The Finance Department will designate one (1) employee to serve as a member of the Board
of Directors. However, SBPOA will be responsible for orienting new officers about the
Trust Fund, forwarding payroll deduction forms to the Finance Department and tracking
members' deductions.
The Finance Department has recommended that SBPOA select a third-party administrator for
the Trust Fund. The monies will be transferred from the City to the third-party
administrator for the POA Retirement Trust Fund Agreement.

The City Team (Barbara Dillon, Barbara Pachon, Dan Robbins, Fred Wilson) recommends
that the Mayor and Common Council adopt the attached resolution on transferring $438,126
from the City to the POA Retirement Trust Fund Agreement.
