This note is writ+~en in haste because of the time element involved and should. not, for that reason, be considered as final or definitive, but, very roughly, my present thought e.s to the steps necessary to be taken in order to bring Santa Ana under the State Employees' Retirement System, e.re as follows; The City Council will. adapt a resolution of inten- d an to enter int° a contrz~et with the State employees' Retirement System. This res°lution gill bA in the standard form required by the State Retirement System, with the excep- tsan that reference will be made to the fact that the Council proposes to submit the ordinance authorizing the contract to a vote of the people, rather than to adopt the ordinance on its own initiative, In this connection it is my understand- ing thaat you now desire t° hsve this election held July 24th. i feel certain that the necessary steps can be taken to have the election on that date. once authorizingtthe heontract~nth rPhmustoble' on the ordin_ among the employees to determin¢ whether the twantltotion the System.

You could get to set on Assuming the empl®yees vote f~vorabl ordinance authorizing the contract receives thePtnecessQryhe ma,}ority votes at the election on July 24th, we can, I feel su re, get the cantre.ct executed in time to have the items for the City cost included in your tax ordinance for this and have the System in operation effective as °f Augustel,~ 19~ 5 , ., ~znr'ae Ana.
