 The State Controller’s office is scheduled to release compensation data for special districts that provide fire, police, transit, transportation planning and waste services today. Special districts should have filed a 2010 Government Compensation Report along with a completed annual financial transactions report within 90 days after the close of the district’s fiscal year when submitting reports by paper; within 110 days after the close of the district’s fiscal year when submitting report by electronic format; or within 120 days after the close of a hospital district’s fiscal year when submitting report electronically.
Due to the large number of agencies, the publishing of compensation information is being divided into four groups.
Group 1: Special districts that provide fire, police, transit, transportation planning and waste
Estimated Publishing Date: February 2012
Group 2: Special districts that provide land reclamation and levee maintenance, health, hospital and water
Estimated Publishing Date: March 2012
Group 3: Special districts that provide cemetery, electric, financing or construction facilities, flood control and water conservation, recreation and park, and community service districts
Estimated Publishing Date: May 2012
Group 4: All other special districts
Estimated Publishing Date: June 2012
County and city compensation data was posted on the Controller’s website in December 2011. The Controller’s office has sent delinquency letters to districts that have failed to file either the Financial Transaction Report and/or the Compensation Report. Pursuant to Government Code Section 53895, districts that fail or refuse to file either of these reports may face a fine of up to $5,000. |

 Last week, CalPERS released a Circular Letter informing CalPERS members of changes to code sections concerning employment after retirement pursuant to Assembly Bill 1028, which took effect January 1, 2012.
Special districts have two choices when hiring a retired annuitant. Under Government Code Section 21221(h), agencies may make an interim appointment to a vacant position during recruitment for a permanent position. This interim appointment is limited to a one year appointment and the employee may only work for a maximum of 960 hours in a fiscal year. Agencies may request an exemption to the 960 hour limitation, however, any appointment made under this Government Code section shall not exceed a total of 12 months.

Last November, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) issued an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) on the definition of what is a government agency for the purposes of public employee retirement plans. The ANPRM sets forth an extensive discussion of the IRS's view on the characteristics of a governmental retirement plan and offers insight into the IRS’s criteria on how government plan status will be determined.
This notice is just the beginning of the guidance process, and the IRS has asked for public comment on the notice to insure that all stakeholders provide feedback and possible concerns with the rulemaking. Please review the ANPRM to fully understand the implications of the rulemaking and provide public comment by visiting the IRS website. All comments must be submitted by February 6, 2012. |
