FISCAL IMPACT: This amendment will have a minimal impact on the Capital MetropolitanTransportation Authority Retirement Plan (Plan) for Administrative Employees. It will result in an estimated increase in the Annual Accrued Liability of $12, 855 and an estimated increase in the Annual Required Contribution of $886.. STRATEGIC GOAL ALIGNMENT: STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE(S): 2. Improve Business Practices 2.1 Strengthen the Financial Health of the Agency EXPLANATION OF STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT: This action is related to Objective 2.1, Strengthen the Financial Health of the Agency and the task to address the labor structure. BUSINESS CASE: Capital Metro has committed to addressing the labor structure transition in a manner that is fair to existing employees whose jobs are affected. This action will allow members of the Pension Plan ("Plan") who do not yet have five years of service in the Plan to become fully vested when their employment is terminated as a result of the transition. COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: This agenda item will be presented to the full Board of Directors. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The Capital Metro Board of Directors approved the Plan in October 2004. The Plan was created in January 2005. As required by SB 650, Capital Metro will be outsourcing all bus and paratransit operations to outside contractors effective August 19, 2012. Approximately 60 administrative employees will be laid off due to this transition. There are seven (7) affected employees who are not fully vested in the Plan. Initial projections of the number of Plan participants who would be terminated indicated that at least 20 percent of the participants would no longer be eligible for the Plan, resulting in a partial plan termination under IRS guidelines. A partial termination of the Plan would result in all employees affected by the termination becoming immediately vested. Due to the transfer of several StarTran, Inc. administrative employees to Capital Metro, that Page 1 Packet Pg. 18
8.1 20 percent threshold will not be reached. Therefore, an amendment to the Plan is necessary to fully vest the seven (7) affected employees who are not fully vested. The Plan Committee has adopted the following amendment to the Plan. Accelerated Vesting for Participants Affected by 2012 Reduction in Force A Participant whose Employment Severance Date occurs on August 18, 2012 in connection with a reduction in force or is notified by the Sponsor prior to August 18, 2012 that his employment will be terminated after August 18, 2012 in connection with the same reduction in force shall be 100 percent vested in his Accrued Benefit regardless of whether he has completed the number of years of Service required under Section 7.1 for 100 percent vesting. The actuary under contract with Capital Metro for the Plan estimates that the affect of this amendment will be to increase the Annual Required Contribution (ARC) by $886 and the Actuarial Accrued Liability (AAL) by $12,855.
