SUBJECT:
Title

I. SUMMARY
The attached resolutions, if adopted by the City Council, would appoint a retired annuitant to the vacant position of Chief Deputy City Clerk for limited duration, approve and authorize the City Manager to sign the employment agreement, and approve a 180-day wait period exception for her to commence work as a retiree within six months of her retirement date. (A CalPERS retired annuitant must typically wait 6 months following retirement to begin work for a CalPERS agency as a retiree.)

III. ALTERNATIVES
TAKE another action the City Council deems appropriate.
