Board Tackles Budget Issues |
|
Posted by: thepinetree on 02/26/2014 08:46 PM
|
San Andreas, CA....Yesterday the Calaveras County Board of Supervisors received their mid year budget update. Needless to say they have quite a bit of digging to find revenue and savings to get things to balance out. Maintaining core and expected services while plugging and patching budget holes will be a reoccurring theme the next few months. Possible solutions suggested were a trip down paths that were not taken before or taken and proved less than rewarding the first or second time. The first place to look for savings will be the biggest, discretionary budget area which is staff. There seemed to be a consensus that a straight across the board budget cut may not be the best approach and some plan of induced retirements to coax the senior and more costly staffers to enter the next chapter of their lives is expected. Raising sales taxes, increasing the TOT tax and other approaches for increased revenue that have been rejected in the past will probably be freshened up and presented as 2014 solutions as well....

President Obama's Weekly Address: Time to Lift the Minimum Wage and Give America a Raise |
|
Posted by: thepinetree on 02/22/2014 09:21 AM
|
Washington, DC...Hi, everybody. Restoring the idea of opportunity for all requires a year of action from all of us. Wherever I can act on my own, I will – and whenever I can ask more Americans to help, I’ll do that too. In my State of the Union Address, for example, I asked more business leaders to take action to raise their employees’ wages. Because even though our economy is growing, and our businesses have created about eight and a half million new jobs over the past four years, average wages have barely budged.

New CalPERS Costs To Be Borne By Local Governments |
|
Posted by: thepinetree on 02/21/2014 05:25 PM
|
Sacramento, CA...Earlier this week, the Board of Directors of the California Public Employees Retirement System (CalPERS) adopted new actuarial assumptions. These assumptions stem from recent staff reviews of the overall system and needs associated with providing benefits to its members. The adoption of these new assumptions will result in employer (local government members and the State of California) contribution rates increasing. The CalPERS Board of Directors also decided to implement a payment scheme to meet these obligations. Local governments will utilize the “20-5” option whereby the increased costs to local governments will be paid over 20 years with a five year ramp-up and a five year ramp-down. Two alternative options for local governments were considered – a “20-7” scheme or a “30-5” scheme – but neither of these options was adopted. In adopting the 20-5 scheme, payments by local government members will commence in the 2016-17 Fiscal Year. It should be noted that local governments do have the option to pay these new liabilities in advance to minimize finance costs....
