The Spokane Employees’ Retirement System (SERSor Plan) is a multiple employer defined benefit pension plan covering employees of the City of Spokane, administered in accordance with Chapters 3.05 and 4.14 of the Spokane Municipal Code.

 

 

 

All permanent employees of the City, including employees of the Plan, are eligible to belong to SERS with the exception of elected officials, who may opt out of the Plan, and police and firefighters, who are members of the State Law Enforcement Officers and Firefighters’ Retirement System. Additionally, certain SERS members that moved to the Spokane Public Facilities District (PFD) or Spokane Regional Emergency Communications (SREC) are eligible to remain in SERS. Such members have the same benefits, eligibility requirements, and contribution rates as current SERS members. The Plan has more than 3,000 participants and oversees an investment portfolio of $350 million.  As of December 31, 2021, the Plan’s funding ratio was 70.7%.

 

 

 

Management of SERS is vested in the SERS Board, which consists of seven members: three members are elected by active employee Plan members, three members are appointed by the Spokane City Council, and one member (who may not be an elected official or employee of the City) is appointed by the other six Board members.  All Board members are volunteers. The plan is seeking a qualified candidate for one of the members appointed by the Spokane City Council.
