What this means
The Committee took actions that affect city employee pay and benefits administration: it cleared a change allowing employers to contribute to employee 457(b) deferred compensation accounts and approved changes related to Fire and Police pension board rules. The Committee also approved additional resources for the city payroll project, while delaying further decisions on the LADWP payroll rollout, layoffs, Convention Center hiring, and police sworn hiring so staff can provide more information. A city retirement system financial report was filed for the record, and members heard an informational update about health and wellness programs.
