Councilors discussed an ordinance to change pension contributions, DROP suspension rules and vesting. Councilor Davis secured an amendment to reduce certain employee contributions (8%→6%) effective Jan. 1, 2027 or earlier if the city manager approves; staff said actuarial reports show the pension plans are funded above 100% for FY27.

City staff and consultants recommended changes to the pension plan — vesting from 10 to 5 years, a 1% multiplier for years 31–40, and lowering employee contributions for later hires from 8% to 6% — to be financed by extending the unfunded‑liability amortization from 5 to 10 years; the pension board voted to support the change.
