AMOUNT OF MONEY AND SOURCE: N/A BACKGROUND/EXPLANATION: The Amendment will enable the public safety unions to have a single (1) Trustee with voting rights on the Retirement Savings Plan of the City of Baltimore (RSP) Board of Trustees (which has purview over the City’s 457(b) DCP). Legislation enacted on May 5, 2014 established the RSP. The legislation provides for a Board of Trustees to administer and oversee the RSP, as well as the City’s 457(b) DCP. As only newly hired or rehired civilian employees are covered by the RSP, the legislation did not provide for a Trustee to represent the City’s public safety unions. However, public safety employees participate in the City’s 457(b) DCP. Prior to the establishment of the RSP, there was a 457(b) DCP committee that was responsible for the administration and operation of the 457(b) DCP. The City’s public safety unions had a representative with full voting rights on that committee. This Amendment to the City’s 457(b) DCP Document will allow for the City’s public safety unions to designate a representative to 23 AGENDA BOARD OF ESTIMATES 02/03/2016 Retirement Savings Plan – cont’d serve on the RSP Board of Trustees with voting rights only on those matters that pertain to the 457(b) DCP.
