City contends that the Deferred Retirement Option Plan (DROP) is an employment benefit subject to modification through the meet and confer process. Despite Local 145\u2019s disagreement with this contention, the Parties agree that, during the term of this MOU, they will meet and confer over proposals to modify DROP to make DROP \u201ccost free\u201d to City. The Parties acknowledge that City\u2019s proposals will modify DROP to make DROP \u201ccost free\u201d as defined by City and may include any and all aspects of DROP, including but not limited to, all of the DROP alternative plan design proposals set forth in a study by Buck Consultants presented by City to Local 145 on March 14, 2012, or any variations of the alternative proposals which changes numbers or percentages reflected in the Buck study. However, by agreeing to meet and confer regarding proposals to modify DROP, Local 145 is not waiving its right to challenge any proposed modification to DROP on the basis that it may impair a constitutionally protected, individually vested pension benefit, or on any other ground. Local 145 further reserves its right to argue, despite any contrary assertion by City, that the current unmodified DROP is, in fact, \u201ccost free\u201d within the meaning of reasonable actuarial principles and appropriate margins of error. Moreover, in agreeing to meet and confer regarding proposals to modify DROP, neither Party is waiving its rights to make any legal arguments or pursue any legal action related to any proposed DROP modification. In the event City and Local 145 reach agreement on any modifications to DROP, these modifications will become effective on the date agreed upon. In the event the Parties fail to reach an agreement, any impasse hearing related to DROP will be conducted in accordance with Council Policy 300-06 on a date to be agreed upon by the Parties but in no event before January 1, 2013. However, any impasse hearing related to the Parties\u2019 meet and confer over DROP, including the aspects of DROP described above, will be separate from and not combined with any issues remaining for impasse in connection with the Parties\u2019 meet and confer process for a new MOU for Fiscal Year 2014.\n2.
