Irvine Council Votes to Early Pay Off Pension Liability
Irvine City Council unanimously approved paying down nearly all of its $91.1 million unfunded pension liability ahead of schedule using existing funds. The plan could save up to $33.1 million over a decade, reducing annual payments as the liability shrinks, with $3 million from 2012 2013 year end, then $5 million yearly for 10 years from Asset Management Plan funds, plus $1 million from year end balances.
