Encompassing 180 square miles at the southern tip of the San Francisco Bay, San José is Northern California's largest city, third largest in the State, and the 10th largest city in the nation. With more than one million residents, San José is one of the most diverse large cities in the United States. San José's transformation into a global innovation center has resulted in one of the largest concentrations of technology companies and expertise in the world, including major tech headquarters like Cisco, Adobe, Samsung, and eBay as well as start-ups and advanced manufacturing. San José's quality of life is unsurpassed. Surrounded by the Diablo and Santa Cruz mountain ranges and enjoying an average of 300 days of sunshine a year, residents have easy access to the beaches along the California coast including Santa Cruz, Monterey, and Carmel-by-the-Sea; Yosemite and Lake Tahoe in the Sierra Nevada; local and Napa Valley wine country, and the rich cultural and recreational life of the entire Bay region. San José has received accolades for its vibrant neighborhoods, healthy lifestyle, and diverse attractions from national media including Business Week and Money magazines. The downtown area is home to high-rise residential projects, theaters, museums, and diverse entertainment attractions such as live music, live theater, cafes, restaurants, and nightclubs. Inquiring minds are served by The Tech Interactive, the San José Museum of Art, and many local galleries and venues. The City is served by 19 of the 32 public school districts in the County, and over 300 private and parochial schools provide residents with a range of educational choices. Universities in and near the City include San José State University, Santa Clara University, Stanford University, and three University of California campuses.

The ORS oversees the investment of assets and administers the benefits of the two defined benefit retirement plans for City of San José employees. The assets of the two plans total over $10 billion. Each of the retirement plans has a Board of Administration that has fiduciary responsibility over its respective retirement plan. The ORS serves at the direction of the two independent Boards of Administration ("Boards") for the two retirement plans for City employees (the Federated City Employees' Retirement System ("Federated") and the Police and Fire Department Retirement Plan).

The Funds are: * Federated Retiree Health Care Trust Fund * Federated Retirement Fund * Fire Retiree Health Care Trust Fund * Police and Fire Retirement Fund Police * Retiree Health Care Trust Fund The 2024-2025 service delivery goals are: * Manage Retirement Plans' assets and seek solutions to increase investment returns and reduce volatility and cost, while mitigating risk. * Work with the Retirement Plans' actuaries to ensure the plans have adopted and implemented the most appropriate rates, assumptions, and methodologies to remove risk from the plans, and decrease volatility. * Provide quality retirement planning, counseling, and financial reporting. ORS is responsible for interfacing with active, retired, and survivor participants of the plan; with the City Manager, Mayor, and City Council of the City of San José; with the boards of the two plans; and the retained professionals (e.g. legal, actuarial, financial, insurance, and information technology) that are part of the team. The Federated City Employees' Retirement System currently holds assets valued at $3.95 billion and the assets of the Police and Fire Department Retirement Plan are currently valued at $5.97 billion. The Federated board has seven trustees and the Police and Fire board has nine. All boards are made up of independent trustees (typically with financial expertise) and trustees drawn from active and retired City employees.
