Except as hereinafter otherwise provided, the council shall provide, <br />by ordinance or ordinances, for the creation, establishment and maintenance of a retirement plan or plans <br />for all officers and employees of the City. Such plan or plans need not be the same for all officers and <br />employees.

Subject to other provisions of this article, the City, by and through its <br />council, is hereby empowered, but not required, to join or continue as a contracting agency in any <br />retirement or pension system or systems existing or hereafter created under the laws of the State of <br />California or of the United States of America to which municipalities and municipal officers or employees <br />are eligible for membership. <br /> <br />(c) Continuance of existing retirement system. Until otherwise provided by ordinance, the City shall <br />continue to participate in the Public Employees' Retirement System of the State of California, as the same <br />now exists or may hereafter be amended. The City Council may not terminate any such contract with the <br />Public Employees' Retirement System of the State of California, and may not amend any such contract in a <br />manner which would decrease or eliminate any benefit accruing to persons employed by the City at the <br />time of such contract termination or amendment, unless such amendment shall substitute a retirement <br />system or systems providing equal or greater benefits for said persons. <br /> <br />(d) Exclusions.
