Reason for Recommended Action/Background

The Public Employees' Pension Reform Act of 2013 (PEPRA) and Government Code 7522.56 & 21224 requires that individuals who retire from a CalPERS agency wait 180 days before being reemployed by the same or another CalPERS Agency unless the individual chooses to reinstate from retirement. Government Code 7522.56 allows exceptions to this 180-day waiting period under certain circumstances, including rehiring retirees in an extra help status to perform work of limited term duration and limited term special project work. CalPERS requires approval by the County Board of Supervisors in a public meeting (Government Code section 7522.56[f][1].

Effective December 3, 2023, staff recommends approval of the attached CalPERS Resolution to allow the hire of one retired annuitant, Eileen Lee, in the Assessor/Clerk-Recorder/Elections department, to provide continued uninterrupted support of a timely and accurate tax roll completion. The department has faced significant challenges in their recruitments in the field of Auditor-Appraisers. There are currently three open recruitments for a Principal Auditor-Appraiser and the Auditor-Appraiser series. Continuing without a Principal Auditor-Appraiser would make the completion of the tax roll exceptionally difficult.  Rehiring a retired individual with the requisite knowledge, skills and experience ensures continuity and expertise, addressing the immediate staffing need as well as maintaining the progress towards a timely and accurate tax roll.
