As of January 1, 2011
Notwithstanding Section 20577, the board may merge a plan that has been terminated pursuant to Section 20572 into the terminated agency pool without benefit reduction, or with a lesser reduction, if (a) the board has made all reasonable efforts to collect the amount necessary to fully fund the liabilities of the plan, and (b) the board finds that the merger of the plan into the terminated agency pool without benefit reduction will not impact the actuarial soundness of the terminated agency pool.
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.
