Various Personnel Related Requests to Include Establishing a New Job Classification, Approving a CalPERS 180-day Waiting Period Exception to Hire a Retired Annuitant, and Adopting the Salary Schedule for the Poway Firefighters' Association Pursuant to the Current Six-Year Memorandum of Understanding
The City of Poway has several employees who will be retiring after many years of outstanding and selfless service to the organization and community. When a position becomes vacant, especially after the incumbents served the City for many years, it is prudent to evaluate the position, determine how it can best serve the community, and create transition plans to ensure services are not interrupted during the recruitment process. In Community Services, the Recreation Coordinator in Interpretive Services is retiring after eighteen years of service to the City. Based on an evaluation of the position by the Community Services Director, in coordination with Human Resources staff, it is recommended the City Council change the Recreation Coordinator position in the Interpretative Services division of the Community Services Department to a specific Interpretive Services Coordinator position to better communicate and reflect what the position requires and is responsible for performing.
In addition, the Senior Accounting Technician responsible for the City's entire payroll is also retiring in August after seventeen years of service to Poway. This creates an urgent and critical need in the Finance Department to fill the vacancy on a temporary basis while the City recruits for a new Senior Accounting Technician. The City desires to hire the retiring Senior Accounting Technician as a retired annuitant on a part-time, temporary basis until the position is filled through a recruitment, and then to train the new Senior Accounting Technician once hired. Government Code Sections 7522.56 and 21224 allow for an agency to request a waiver to the 180-day waiting period before a retired annuitant may be re-employed by an agency that contracts with Cal PERS for retirement benefits.
1 of 14 July 19, 2022, Item #7
July 19, 2022, Item #7Lastly, as a housekeeping action, the City Council must publicly adopt the salary schedule for the Poway Firefighter's Association (PFA), reflecting the 3.5% salary increase already approved and effective July 1, 2022, as part of the current six-year agreement between the City and the PFA. Recommended Action: It is recommended the City Council: 1) approve the resolution adopting the revised City of Poway Position Classification Plan and Non-Safety Salary Schedule, which include the new classification of Interpretive Services Coordinator; 2) approve the resolution waiving the 180-day waiting period to hire a retired annuitant pursuant to Government Code Sections 7522.56 and 21224; and 3) approve the resolution with the Fiscal Year 2022-23 Safety Salary Schedule in accordance with the terms of the Memorandum of Understanding between the City of Poway and the PFA. Discussion: Establishing a New Job Classification The City of Poway currently has a Recreation Coordinator job classification along with specialized Coordinator classifications supporting the numerous different recreation sites, programs and services offered by the City through the Community Services Department. Recreation Coordinators support Lake Poway, Old Poway Park, and Community Park divisions and directly coordinate recreation programs, including day camps, specialty contract camps, and special events. The Recreation Coordinator in the Interpretive Services Division is retiring in August and to better reflect the duties and responsibilities of the position before the City recruits for the vacancy, staff recommends changing the classification to the more specialized job classification of Interpretative Services Coordinator. The position requires specific knowledge of flora and fauna, wildlife, environmental conservation, Kumeyaay history, trail maintenance, and natural reserve management, and the position trains docents to be knowledgeable on the same topics. There is also a significant educational component as part of the responsibilities, including developing third-grade curriculum to host school tours at the Kumeyaay Center and Blue Sky Ecological Reserve. In addition, all programs and events are designed to educate the public. Interpretive skills are required, and techniques include teaching concepts as opposed to teaching individual facts, how the environment, plants and animals interact with each other, and then making it relatable to the audience. The interpretive services duties are specialized, and the job classification should provide clear standards and criteria for what is required of the position, which will help to recruit someone with specific interpretive experience and in evaluating their performance once hired. The City has other specialized Coordinators in the Community Services Department including: Box Office Coordinator, Technical Theater Coordinator and Front of House Coordinator at the Poway Center for Performing Arts, and Aquatics Coordinator at the Poway Swim Center. Changing the job classification and job description from Recreation Coordinator to Interpretive Services Coordinator will not add an additional position to the department, just change an existing one. The proposed Interpretive Services Coordinator job classification is on file in the Human Resources Department and the recommended salary grade for the Interpretive Services Coordinator is Grade 320, which is the same as the grades for Recreation Coordinator and the other specialized Coordinators in the Community Services Department mentioned above. Waiver of the 180-Day Ca/PERS Requirement for Retired Annuitants California Government Code Sections 7522.56 and 21224 authorize the City to re-employ a retired 2 of 14
July 19, 2022, Item #7Cal PERS annuitant without reinstatement from retirement upon a finding that the retired person has specialized skills needed to perform work of a limited duration. Under the law, a non-safety retired annuitant is not eligible to be employed by a CalPERS contracting agency for a period of 180 days following the retirement date unless the City Council certifies the nature of the employment, and the appointment is necessary to fill a critically needed position before 180 days has passed. After serving the City for seventeen years, Ms. Blanton has specialized skills in payroll services, including knowledge of the payroll processes, including the more complicated payroll processes for fire safety schedules and the twenty-four hour water treatment plant schedules. Her services are needed over the next several months during the recruitment to perform biweekly payroll, CalPERS reporting, and various other payroll and accounts payable procedures, including yea rend procedures. As such, the appointment of Krista Blanton, on a temporary basis while the City recruits for a new Senior Accounting Technician, and to train the new person once hired, would be in compliance with Government Code Sections 7522.56 and 21224. Ms. Blanton's compensation in the retired annuitant role wou Id be limited to the posted salary schedule for the Senior Accounting Technician classification. Retired annuitants are not eligible for any employee leaves or benefit programs. Along with the resolution, also attached is the employment agreement between the City of Poway and a retired annuitant, which outlines the terms of the temporary employment. Prior to the start date of Ms. Blanton's temporary employment with the City of Poway as a retired annuitant, the City must submit to Cal PERS a copy of: 1) the approved and executed resolution; 2) the employment agreement; and 3) the publicly available salary schedule listing the comparable or vacant position. Salary Schedule for the Poway Firefighters' Association In September 2021, the City Council approved a six-year Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) from July 1, 2021 throughJune 30, 2027, between the City of Poway and the Poway Fire Fighter's Association. The MOU includes a 3.5% wage increase, effective July 1, 2022. The California Public Employee Retirement System (Cal PERS) requires all salary schedules be publicly adopted by the governing body. The attached resolution provides the approval for the salary schedule, pursuant to the terms of the six-year agreement. Environmental Review: This action is not subject to review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Fiscal Impact: There is no additional cost to establish the new classification of Interpretative Services Coordinator because the new classification will be established at the same grade as the Recreation Coordinator. The total estimated cost to hire the retired Senior Account Technician as a retired annuitant is anticipated not to exceed $25,000 and will paid be out of salary savings in the Finance department budget. Funds for the 3.5% salary increase for the PFA were included and approved as part of the City's Fiscal Year 2022-23 budget.

July 19, 2022, Item #7EXHIBIT A CITY OF POWAY Retired Annuitant -Employment Agreement Government Code (GC) sections 7522.56 and 21224 permit employees who retire and receive CalPERS retirement benefits to accept limited, post-retirement, employment without reinstatement or loss or interruption of benefits. A retired person (Retired Annuitant), whose employment without reinstatement is authorized by Government Code Sections 7522.56 and 21224, shall acquire no service credit or retirement rights unless she reinstates from retirement. I. Conditions of Limited Appointment Post-retirement service must be attributable to either an emergency event (to prevent stoppage of public business) or the Retired Annuitant has skills needed to perform work of limited duration (GC 7522.56.c). II. Length of Appointment Retired Annuitants are restricted to working a maximum of 960 hours within a fiscal year (GC 7522.56.d) and both the City and the Retired Annuitant are responsible for tracking hours of employment. Krista Blanton has been appointed to serve as the Senior Accounting Technician on an, as-needed, interim basis, beginning August 8, 2022 during the recruitment process and to assist with the transition of the incoming Senior Accounting Technician, once the position is filled. Employing a retiree in excess of the 960 hours limit per fiscal year may jeopardize the retiree's retirement benefits and/or require reinstatement from retirement. Krista Blanton will immediately notify the City of Poway should they perform work as a Retired Annuitant for any other CalPERS member agency during the term of this agreement. __ (Initials) Ill. Compensation The rate of pay for these services shall be no less than the minimum and no more than the maximum rate of pay for other employees performing comparable functions (GC 7522.56.d). Based upon the approved Salary Schedule for classifications within the Management Confidential Group, the City's hourly rate of pay for a Senior Accounting Technician ranges from $29.1623 to $35.4464. For the term of this agreement, Krista Blanton will be compensated at an hourly rate of $35.4464, which is within the approved, allowable pay range for this position. Retired Annuitants are not eligible for any other benefit, incentive, compensation in lieu of benefit or other form of compensation in addition to this hour pay rate including holidays, sick leave, vacation or any employee leave or benefit program. IV.
