National City Firefighters' Association (NCFFA) for the period January 1, 2011 through December 31, 2013. The terms of the MOU

paid the nine percent (9%) employee contribution to PERS for NCFFA represented employees. As` amended, NCFFA employees lave—.
agreed to pay the employee contribution as follows: three percent (3%) effective January 1, 2011, three percent (3%) effective July 10,
2012, and three percent (3%) effective July 9, 2013. As such, NCFFA employees will assume responsibility for the full employee
contribution effective fiscal year 2013/2014.
To effect this provision, pursuant to Government Code Section 20691, the City Council must amend the contract between the Board of
