public safety employer retirement contribution rate rises above 50%. Each
percentage picked up by the employees will result in approximately $27,000 in
savings to the City. The City’s financial forecast estimates that public safety
employer retirement contribution rates will reach 50% in Fiscal Year 2017/2018.
