This appropriation funds salary costs for budgeted positions in Bicycle Program's operating fund. Changes in salary appropriation for miscellaneous employees for FY 2010-2011 and FY 2011-2012 can be attributed to the following budget process: the annualization of positions funded in FY 2009-2010’s budget; position transfers and reclassifications within the department to reflect the Agency’s latest organizational structure; position elimination and defunding to close SFMTA’s projected budget deficits; and a giveback of 12 unpaid furlough days per year for the next two years based on the collective bargaining agreements by most unions included in the Public Employees Committee (PEC).

Calculated by the Controller’s Office, this line item includes the cost of contributions the City makes to the Employee Retirement System for the positions budgeted in this organizational area. The budget includes two types of contributions: the employer retirement contribution and the participating employee-paid retirement contribution picked up by the City for certain labor unions based on the labor agreements between the City and those unions.For FY 2010-2011, the employer retirement contribution rate for the City Miscellaneous Retirement for all classifications is 13.56% of the payroll cost; the rate for FY 2011-2012 is 16.50%. The increase in retirement costs is attributed to lower projected earnings in retirement assets and a projected growth rate in successive years.
014SOCIAL SECURITY75,45915,01014,993(60,449)-80.1%(17)-0.1%
This appropriation funds mandatory employer contributions. The rates for the two-year budget are estimated to be, 6.20% for Social Security and 1.45% for Medicare. These amounts are calculated by the Controller’s Office.
015HEALTH SERVICE103,02321,01222,904(82,011)-79.6%1,8929.0%
The City Charter establishes an employer contribution to the Health Service Trust Fund that covers health and dental insurance costs for current employees and their dependents. Each year, the health benefit rates are reviewed and determined by the San Francisco Health Service Board and calculated by the Controller’s Office. Health service premiums for employees are estimated to increase on average by 6.3% in FY 2010-2011 and 9% in FY 2011-2012. For dependent care coverage, the Controller’s Office has changed the methodology it calculates the rates to distinguish between employees with one dependent and those with two or more dependents. This change has resulted in moderate savings for dependent care cost.
016DENTAL COVERAGE13,9873,1673,452(10,820)-77.4%2859.0%
Like the health benefit rates, the Charter-required employer contribution to employee dental benefit is determined annually by the Health Service Board and calculated by the Controller’s Office. The premium for dental coverage is projected to increase by 13% in FY 2011-2012 and 9% in FY 2011-2012.
