Councilmember McGovern said she felt there were impacts not clearly defined in the staff report, most notably being that the employee pickup of the EPMC also reduces the overall retirement package and that the three year highest salary formula attempts to stop the spiking of pensions. Mr. Bartel confirmed that the projections provided do reflect the fact that the EPMC is no longer calculated as part of pensionable wages. He also noted that the calculations assumed cost of living increases, which are eliminated with this agreement, and that this would lower total wages even further. In regards to three-year average earnings, he concurred that this essentially eliminates the ability to spike benefits. Councilmember Cook-Kallio acknowledged that the state works much slower than anyone would like but said there has been chatter from the democratic leadership in both the Assembly and Senate that there has to be pension reform. BREAK Vice-Mayor Thorne called a brief recess and reconvened the meeting at 9:33 p.m. 17.

In consideration of the dialogue presented that evening, staff prepared a number of changes for the Council's consideration. Mr. Dolan stated that the most significant change, and certainly the item that generated the most discussion, relates the inclusion of different and separate design guidelines for the Bart property. The guidelines presented at that time accommodated a fairly substantial amount of growth that had not been comprehensively discussed in the context of the current framework for Hacienda Business Park. After considering that dialogue, staff felt that it could postpone a decision on these guidelines until there could be a broader discussion, while still meeting the obligations under the settlement agreement. Planning Manager Janice Stern reviewed the proposed changes as described in the staff report. She noted that a number of questions were raised during the joint workshop regarding maximum density. She referred to her slide presentation to demonstrate that several columns had been added to Table 2.1, including the maximum number of units analyzed under the Supplemental Environmental Impact Report (SEIR). She noted that the values are identical to those presented in the draft Standards and Guidelines, with exception of the last column. City Council Minutes Page 10 of 19 August 21,2012
