from both Pleasanton and Livermore to the LPFD fund. Once a trust is established and <br />specific investments are purchased it would be difficult to segregate those investment <br />instruments whether it is a U.S. Treasury note or a federal agency security. As a result, <br />two separate accounts within the trust will be established; one for non -fire employees <br />and one for LPFD and will be reported separately. It is important to note that all LPFD <br />employees are City of Pleasanton employees under the Joint Powers Agreement <br />establishing the consolidated fire department. Historically, both Livermore and <br />Pleasanton have shared in the amount contributed to reserves that have been <br />accumulated on roughly a 50/50 basis <br />Conclusion <br />The recommendations included in this report are consistent with GASB #43 #45 <br />guidelines and will allow the City of Pleasanton to be in compliance with these new <br />accounting standards. Staff will continue the strategy of adjusting medical costs <br />through a two -tier benefit structure as has already been put in place as described in this <br />report. A strategy of further cost containment provisions will be the keystone of the <br />approach to future labor negotiations and will be done as labor contracts expire and <br />further labor negotiations take place. <br />Submitted by: Approved by: <br />David P.
