CC - Item 5E - Approval of Human Resource ConsultantROSEMEAD CITY COUNCIL
STAFF REPORT
TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: GLORIA MOLLEDA, CITY MANAGER
DATE: MARCH 27, 2018
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF HUMAN RESOURCES CONSULTANT
SUMMARY
Ca1PERS requires a Resolution to hire a retired PERS annuitant. Therefore, the City Council
must approve the Resolution to authorize the City Manager to appoint a qualified individual to
the position of Interim Human Resources Manager during the period of recruitment and training
of the permanent full time position.
Due to the separation of service with HR Dynamics & Performance Management, Inc., in
February of this year, and the unsuccessful recruitment for an experienced Human Resources
Manager, and due to the high demands of this position, it is necessary to have additional help in
Human Resources until such time as the permanent position can be recruited for and filled.
The relatively new California Public Employees Retirement System (CaIPERS) law requires the
authorization of the governing body to hire a Ca1PERS annuitant (i.e., retiree). This type of
appointment is permitted as long as an agency is actively recruiting to fill the full-time position
and the governing body deems that the position requires someone with specialized skills to fulfill
the needs during the interim appointment.
In order to be compliant with Ca1PERS state law, it is necessary for the governing body to adopt
a resolution authorizing the appointment. With approve of Resolution No. 2018-20, the City
Manager can appoint an Interim Human Resources Manager with a contingency of working a
limit of 960 hours per fiscal year and specifying that no benefits will be provided.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that Council approve Resolution No. 2018-20, entitled "A Resolution of the
City Council of the City of Rosemead, California, Authorizing the Appointment of an Interim
Human Resources Manager" and authorize the City Manager to execute any Personnel Action
forms related to the appointment.

FISCAL IMPACT
Funding for this appointment will be paid from the salary cost savings associated with the
currently vacant Human Resources Manager position. This will result in a savings to the General
Fund as this appointment will receive no benefits other than an hourly salary within the current
range for the vacant Manager position.
In addition, due to the separation of service with HR Dynamics & Performance Management,
Inc., there is a remaining balance of $35,739 that was previously allocated for this contract and
was not utilized.
