PERS Rate Increase Appeal
RESOLUTION NO. 2003-019
WHEREAS, eight public employers brought suit against the Oregon Public Employee Retirement
System in Marion County Circuit Court; and
WHEREAS, those employers claimed they were being overcharged in the calculation of employer
contribution rates; and
WHEREAS, Judge Paul Lipscomb has returned the case to the Oregon Public Employee Retirement
System Board with instructions to update employee mortality tables, issue new employer rate orders for 1998
and 2000 and make a new earnings allocation order for the 1999 investment year; and
WHEREAS, the Oregon Public Employee Retirement System Board has yet to comply with these
instructions; and
WHEREAS, the Oregon Public Employee Retirement System Board adopted employer rate increases at
its February 11, 2003 regular meeting, contrary to Judge Lipscomb's opinion; and
