SUBMITTED BY: Paul Dictos, C.P.A, Assessor-Recorder
SUBJECT: Resolution to Fill Special Properties Appraiser with Extra-Help-Retiree-
California Public Employees' Pension Reform Act Exception
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
TITLE
Adopt resolution to fill an Assessor's Special Properties Appraiser position with Extra-Help retiree Bill Hicks, part-time, effective July 27, 2023, finding, pursuant to Government Code section 7522.56 (f)(1), that a 180-day separation period for retired employees returning to employment as Extra-Help is not applicable based on your Board certification that the nature of employment and appointment is necessary to fill a critically-needed position before the 180-day separation period.
REPORT
Approval of the recommended action will adopt a resolution consistent with exceptions identified in the provisions of Government Code section 7522.56 (f)(1) that, except certain critically needed positions, retirees are subject to a 180-day separation ("sit-out") period following the date of retirement for employees who are re-employed by a public agency within the same retirement system. The recommended action meets the requirements of the California Public Employees' Pension Reform Act (PEPRA), which went into effect January 1, 2013.This item is countywide.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION(S):
Your Board could choose to not approve the recommended action, which would result in staff to work overtime to complete the tasks that would be covered by this extra-help employee. Additionally, staff will need to work additional hours to learn unique assessments as they arise and research new legislations as needed which the requested retiree has previous knowledge and experience completing.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no additional Net County Cost associated with the recommended action. Sufficient appropriations and revenues for the appointment are included in the FY 2023-24 Assessor-Recorder Org 0420 Adopted Budget.
