SUMMARY: Associate Hydrologist, Tom Lindberg, will retire on December 30, 2023. The District is in the process of hiring a Meter Program Coordinator that will take over the well registration, metering, and reporting program duties from his position. The other duties from his position will be assigned to the District’s Assistant Hydrologists.
It would greatly benefit the District to offer a limited-term, part-time contract as a retired annuitant to Mr. Lindberg. The contract would be for Mr. Lindberg to train the Meter Program Coordinator at the hourly rate of $58.02, for up to 960 hours from January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2024. He would not receive any benefits, other than those mandated by state and federal law.
The California Public Retirement System (CalPERS) requires that the governing body of any agency wishing to hire a retiree prior to 180-days following their retirement date, pass a resolution to that effect. The resolution must be presented and considered in open session, not on the consent calendar.
RECOMMENDATION: The Finance and Administration Committee
should recommend that the Board adopt Resolution 2023-16, Exhibit 3-A, authorizing an exception to the CalPERS 180-day wait
period to hire Tom Lindberg as a part-time, limited-term employee.
IMPACTS TO STAFF/RESOURCES: The cost to the District for a 12-month, part-time contract would not exceed $55,700.
