20575. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this part to the contrary, upon request of a terminating agency, the board shall enter into an agreement with the governing body of a terminating agency in order to ensure that both: the final compensation used in the calculation of benefits of its employees shall be calculated in the same manner as the benefits of employees of agencies that are not terminating, regardless of whether they retire directly from employment with the terminating agency or continue in other public service; and related necessary adjustments in the employer’s contribution rate are made, from time to time, by the board prior to the date of termination to ensure that benefits are adequately funded or any other actuarially sound payment technique, including a lump-sum payment at termination, is agreed to by the governing body of the terminating agency and the board.
(b) The terminating agency that will cease to exist shall notify the board not sooner than three years nor later than one year prior to its termination date of its intention to enter into agreement pursuant to this section.
(c) The terms of the agreement shall be reflected in an amendment to the agency’s contract with the board.

20576. (a) Upon the termination of a contract, the board shall hold for the benefit of the members of this system who are credited with service rendered as employees of the contracting agency and for the benefit of beneficiaries of this system who are entitled to receive benefits on account of that service, the portion of the accumulated contributions then held by this system and credited to or as having been made by the agency that does not exceed the difference between (1) an amount actuarially equivalent, including contingencies for mortality fluctuations, as determined by the actuary and approved by the board, the amount this system is obligated to pay after the effective date of termination to or on account of persons who are or have been employed by, and on account of service rendered by them to, the agency, and (2) the contributions, with credited interest thereon, then held by this system as having been made by those persons as employees of the agency.
(b) All plan assets and liabilities of agencies whose contracts have been terminated shall be merged into a single pooled account to provide exclusively for the payment of benefits to members of these plans. Recoveries from terminated agencies for any deficit in funding for earned benefits for members of plans of terminated agencies, and interest thereon, shall also be deposited to the credit of the terminated agency pool.

20577. If, at the date of termination, the sum of the accumulated contributions credited to, or held as having been made by, the contracting agency and the accumulated contributions credited to or held as having been made by persons who are or have been employed by the agency, as employees of the agency, is less than the actuarial equivalent specified in clause (1) of subdivision (a) of Section 20576, the agency shall contribute to this system under terms fixed by the board, an amount equal to the difference between the amount specified in clause (1) of subdivision (a) of Section 20576 and the accumulated contributions. The amount of the difference shall be subject to interest at the actuarial rate from the date of contract termination to the date the agency pays this system. If the agency fails to pay to the board the amount of the difference, all benefits under the contract, payable after the board declares the agency in default therefor, shall be reduced by the percentage that the sum is less than the amount in clause (1) of subdivision (a) of Section 20576 as of the date the board declared the default. If the sum of the accumulated contributions is greater than the amount in clause (1) of subdivision (a) of Section 20576, an amount equal to the excess shall be paid by this system to the contracting agency, including interest at the actuarial rate from the date of contract termination to the date this system makes payment. The market value used shall be the value calculated in the most recent annual closing.
The right of an employee of a contracting agency, or his or her beneficiary, to a benefit under this system, whether before or after retirement or death, is subject to the reduction.

20577.5. The board shall, prior to exercising authority granted pursuant to Section 20577, and to the extent consistent with its fiduciary duties, consider and exhaust all options and necessary actions, including evaluating whether to bring a civil action against any and all of the member agencies that are parties to a terminated agency formed by an agreement under Chapter 5 (commencing with Section 6500) of Division 7 of Title 1 to compel payment of the terminated agency’s retirement obligations, and shall be entitled to reasonable attorney’s fees in addition to other costs.

20578. (a) Except as provided in subdivision (b), on and after January 1, 1991, the rights and benefits of a former employee of a contracting agency which terminated on or before January 1, 1991, or of his or her beneficiary, shall be the same as if the agency had continued as a contracting agency. Any monthly allowance of that individual, or of his or her beneficiary, that was reduced pursuant to Section 20577 because the contracting agency failed to pay the board the amount of the difference shall not be subject to continued reduction on or after January 1, 1991. As of January 1, 1991, benefits shall be paid at the level provided in the contract prior to that reduction. However, if a former employee of a contracting agency that terminated on or before January 1, 1991, becomes employed by another covered employer after the date of termination, including an employer subject to reciprocity, the benefits shall be calculated by using the highest compensation earned by the individual.
In accordance with Section 20580, an individual who has withdrawn his or her accumulated contributions from the terminated agency shall not be permitted to redeposit any withdrawn contributions upon again becoming a member of this system.
(b) If a contracting agency has not paid the system for any deficit in funding for earned benefits, as determined pursuant to Section 20577, members shall be entitled to the benefits to which members of the plan were entitled 36 months prior to the date the agency notified the board of its intention to terminate its contract or 36 months prior to the date the board notified the agency of its intent to terminate the contract, whichever is earlier. Entitlement to earned benefits under this subdivision shall be subject to Section 20577.5.

20579. For purposes of Sections 20576 and 20577 in the case of a contracting agency that is an employer for purposes of Chapter 9 (commencing with Section 20790), the contracting agency shall cease to be an employer on the day preceding the effective date of termination, and all accumulated contributions held by this system and made by or credited to the contracting agency shall be determined in accordance with Section 20834.

20580. Upon the termination of a contract, all memberships in this system existing because of that contract continue in existence to the extent that there are accumulated contributions to the credit of each local member, but any member may elect to withdraw his or her accumulated contributions if the member is not employed in a position subject to coverage by the system at the time of election. The status of any member who does not withdraw his or her accumulated contributions shall be the same as if the public agency had continued as a contracting agency. The membership of any member who is eligible and who elects to withdraw his or her accumulated contributions shall be terminated forthwith, and he or she shall not be entitled to any further benefit based upon service credited as an employee of the contracting agency, nor shall he or she have the right to redeposit those withdrawn contributions upon again becoming a member of this system. The portion of the contributions of the contracting agency held under Section 20576 to the credit of each member shall be determined by the board, and may be adjusted from time to time prior to termination of membership. A member whose membership continues under this section is subject to the same age and incapacity requirements as apply to other members for service or for disability retirement, but he or she is not subject to a minimum service requirement. Except as provided in Section 20578, he or she shall receive the retirement benefits as his or her accumulated contributions, together with the portion of the excess of the contributions of the contracting agency as are credited to him or her, shall provide, as determined by the board, but the provisions of this part relative to minimum retirement allowances shall not apply to him or her, nor shall those benefits exceed the benefits provided by the contract prior to its termination. Upon the death of a member, the basic death benefit shall be his or her accumulated contributions.

20581. If a public agency that terminated its contract enters into a contract for participation in this system, the contract may provide for increase in benefits of persons retired or members who retained rights under this system, if the benefits were reduced under this article at the time of termination, to the level provided in the contract for members, and for redeposit of any contributions for service to the agency not credited under a local system maintained by the agency after termination, withdrawn at termination by a person who becomes a member on contract date. Unless the redeposit is made, the member shall not receive credit for the service. All service rendered prior to the contract date and credited as a result of the contract shall constitute prior service whether or not rendered during the period of the terminated contract. All liabilities for service performed under the terminated contract shall become liabilities of a plan under the new contract. The ratio of assets to liabilities that existed at the time the previous contract was terminated shall be used to calculate the amount of assets to be transferred to a plan under the new contract.

The right to a retirement allowance, of a person who had retired prior to the effective date of the termination of a contract, or who has qualified and applied for retirement by written document received at the board’s office in Sacramento, prior to the effective date, even though the board does not approve the application until a later date, and the right of any person to a benefit on account of a death that occurred prior to the effective date, is not affected by termination of the contract, unless the contracting agency fails to make the contributions required of it because of the participation of its employees in this system.

20584. The board may postpone the payment of any amount due a contracting agency on termination of a contract if payment would require the sale of securities, that, in the opinion of the board, would affect adversely the interests of this system.
If the board delays a payment longer than the period reasonably necessary for the determination of the amount due and for the necessary action by the board, interest shall be allowed on the amount remaining due and unpaid from time to time at the rate then in use under this system, and paid to the contracting agency at the same time and in the manner as the original amount due.

20588. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this article, the board may, pursuant to this section and Section 31657, enter into an agreement with the board of retirement of a county maintaining a county retirement system, for termination of participation of a public agency whose contract has been in effect for at least five years in this system or the state with respect to certain safety members who have ceased to be employed by the public agency or the state and have been employed by a county, fire authority, or district as a result of a transfer of firefighting or law enforcement functions from the public agency or the state to the county, fire authority, or district and inclusion of the former public agency employees in that county retirement system.
(b) The agreement shall contain provisions the board finds necessary to protect the interests of this system, including provisions for determination of the amount, time, and manner of transfer of cash or securities, or both, to be transferred to the county system representing the actuarial value of the interests in the retirement fund of the public agency or the state and the transferred employees by reason of accumulated contributions credited to that public agency or the state and the employees transferred. The agreement may also contain any other provisions that the board deems necessary to address issues related to the transfer, including, but not limited to, benefits subject to an outstanding domestic relations order and benefits subject to a lien. The agreement shall apply only to employees who are employed by the county or district on the effective date of the agreement.
(c) All liability of this system with respect to the members transferred under that agreement shall cease and shall become the liability of the county retirement system as of the date of transfer specified in the agreement. Liability of the county retirement system shall be for payment of benefits to transferred employees in accordance with Chapter 3 (commencing with Section 31450) of Part 3 of Division 4 of Title 3.
