supervisors in a county of the 10th class as described by Section
28031 may adopt, by majority vote, a resolution providing that:
(a) Any general member employed by the county or any district
included within the membership of the county retirement association
shall have the option, at any time prior to retirement, of having his
retirement allowance for service rendered after the date of his
exercising this option calculated to equal the following:
(1) The fraction of one-ninetieth of the first one thousand fifty
dollars ($1,050) monthly of the member's final compensation set forth
in the table appearing in Section 31676.1 in the column applicable
to the member's age at retirement taken to the preceding completed
quarter year multiplied by the number of years of creditable service
as provided therein.
(2) The fraction of one-sixtieth of any remaining portion of the
member's final compensation set forth in the table appearing in
Section 31676.1 in the column applicable to the member's age at
retirement taken to the preceding completed quarter year multiplied
by the number of years of creditable service.
The retirement allowance payable for service rendered prior to the
date of the member's election shall be computed in accordance with
the provisions of Section 31676.1. The retirement allowance payable
for service performed after the effective date of the member's
election shall equal the total of paragraphs (1) and (2) of this
subdivision.
Any member who elects to have his retirement allowance so
calculated shall have the definition of "final compensation" in
Section 31462 or Section 31462.2, whichever is applicable, applied at
the date of retirement regardless of previous service under the
provisions of Section 31462.1.
(b) Any safety member employed by the county or any district
included within the membership of the county retirement association
shall have the option, at any time prior to retirement, of having his
retirement allowance for service rendered after the date of his
exercising this option calculated to equal the following:
(1) The fraction of one seventy-fifth of the first one thousand
fifty dollars ($1,050) monthly of the member's final compensation set
forth in the table appearing in Section 31664 in the column
applicable to the member's age at retirement taken to the preceding
completed quarter year multiplied by the number of years of
creditable service as provided therein.
(2) The fraction of one-fiftieth of any remaining portion of the
member's final compensation set forth in the table appearing in
Section 31664 in the column applicable to the member's age at
retirement taken to the preceding completed quarter year multiplied
by the number of years of creditable service.
The retirement allowance payable for service rendered prior to the
date of the safety member's election shall be computed in accordance
with the provisions of Section 31664. The retirement allowance
payable for service performed after the effective date of the safety
member's election shall equal the total of paragraphs (1) and (2) of
this subdivision.
Any safety member who elects to have his retirement allowance so
calculated shall have the definition of "final compensation" in
Section 31462 or Section 31462.2, whichever is applicable, applied at
the date of retirement regardless of previous service under the
provisions of Section 31462.1.
(c) Before permitting a member to exercise the option authorized
by this section, the board of supervisors shall provide that member
with a written explanation of the effect on the member's retirement
benefits and contributions of exercising that option. No member may
rescind his action after exercising the option authorized in this
section.
(d) Any member who elects deferred retirement after becoming
subject to the provisions of this section shall receive a retirement
allowance determined in accordance with subdivision (a) or
subdivision (b) of this section.
(e) Any member who exercises the option authorized in this section
shall continue to contribute as provided for in Article 6
(commencing with Section 31620) or Article 6.8 (commencing with
Section 31639), of this chapter, whichever is applicable, a lesser
amount as determined by an actuary.
(f) Any member who exercises the option authorized in this section
and who is also eligible and elects or has elected to receive credit
in the retirement system for public service as provided in Section
31641.1 shall have the retirement allowance for such public service
calculated as if he had not exercised the option authorized in this
section.
(g) Any member who exercises the option authorized in this section
and who is also eligible and elects to receive the benefits of
Section 31641.5, 31652, or 31831.1 shall have the retirement
allowance for that service calculated in accordance with subdivisions
(a) or (b) of this section.
For the purposes of this section, all contributions, liabilities,
actuarial interest rates, and other valuation factors shall be
determined on the basis of actuarial assumptions and methods which,
in the aggregate, are reasonable and which, in combination, offer the
actuary's best estimate of anticipated experience under the system.
Any additional employer contributions required under this section
shall be computed as a level percentage of member compensation. The
additional contribution rate required at the time this section is
adopted shall not be less than the sum of (1) the actuarial normal
cost, plus (2) the additional contribution required to amortize the
increase in accrued liability attributable to benefits elected under
this section over a period of not more than 30 years from the date
this section becomes effective in the public agency's contract.
