SAN DIEGO – In an effort to provide ideas to city officials on how to "expeditiously and properly" implement sweeping changes in city employee pension programs, San Diego City Councilmember Carl DeMaio has created a Retirement Security Task Force.

In announcing the formation of the group today, DeMaio said the task force will be comprised of outside experts who will provide advice on how to manage the transition from the old pension system to new retirement plans, which he says will offer security for employees and affordability for taxpayers.
