The City of Burbank is a member of CalPers. As such, OT does not count toward retirement base pay. Be advised, there is a long list of court decisions that have determined exactly what counts toward retirement base pay, and what does not.
Please get your facts straight.
And for what its worth, the Burbank Fireman could get hired at 45, work 5 years, and retire at 50 with 15% of his base pay plus any other specialty incentives that he may qualify for...
