CC - Item 4F - City Council Designation and Appointment of Interim Finance Director/Treasurer as a Retired Annuitant Position M ° 9 ° ROSEMEAD CITY COUNCIL civic PRIDE STAFF REPORT or og Er AtoRPpRATED Ae TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL FROM: GLORIA MOLLEDA, CITY MANAGER J A • DATE: MARCH 9, 2021 SUBJECT: CITY COUNCIL DESIGNATION AND APPOINTMENT OF INTERIM FINANCE DIRECTOR/TREASURER AS A RETIRED ANNUITANT POSITION SUMMARY The City has been trying to recruit a permanent Finance Director for the past year. However,with the current COVID-19 issues and other factors, the City has been unable to fill the position. Until the City can fill the position, staff requests the City Council appoint a Retired Annuitant to the position of Interim Finance Director/Treasurer as authorized per California Government Code Sections 7522.56 and 21221(h) and to ensure adequate staffing during this state of emergency. STAFF RECOMMENDATION That the City Council: 1. Approve the position of Interim Finance Director/Treasurer and authorize the position as a Retired Annuitant Position per California Government Code Sections 7522.56 and 21221(h), and, 2. Approve the appointment and authorize the City Manager to sign the agreement on behalf of the City with Paula Chamberlain as the Interim Finance Director/Treasurer; and 3. Adopt Resolution No. 2021-11 authorizing the appointment of a retired annuitant to the position of Interim Finance Director/Treasurer. DISCUSSION In February 2020,the City retained the services of a Dr. Scott Miller to provide municipal finance support services on a contract basis. That agreement expired on December 31,2020 and could not be extended per section 21221(h) of the California Government Code. As the Finance Director position remains vacant due to the continued difficulty of recruiting for the position during the COVID-19 pandemic, there remains an urgent need to fill the position to assist with 2021-22 AGENDA ITEM 4.F City Council Meeting March 9,2021 Page 2 of 2 budget preparation and other financial duties. Staff is recommending the hiring of Paula Chamberlain, another retired annuitant, to fulfill the necessary duties until a permanent replacement is hired. Ms. Chamberlain has over 35 years of experience in public finance with over 22 years at the Finance Director level. She has served in the cities of Baldwin Park, Upland, Colton, Penis, and Pomona. After retiring as Finance Director/City Treasurer from the City of Pomona in 2016, she served as Interim Finance Director for the City of San Gabriel from March 2019 to January 2020. Ms. Chamberlain has agreed to join the City as an appointed Retired Annuitant to the position of Interim Finance Director/Treasurer until the position is filled up to 960 hours per fiscal year subject to extension by the California Governor. This will allow the City additional time to recruit for the vacant position. Under the California laws that govern public sector retirements, in order for a City to fill a vacant position with a retired annuitant, an active recruitment for the vacant must be underway. Additionally, the annuitant may be paid no more than a regular employee in the same capacity, cannot receive benefits or other compensation, and cannot exceed allowable hours. Under these provisions,the City has reopened its recruitment for a permanent Finance Director/Treasurer, and Ms. Chamberlain has agreed to top step of the current salary range of the Finance Director/Treasurer position with no benefits. FISCAL IMPACT There is no additional financial impact associated with this engagement as the Finance Director salary is currently budgeted; however, there will be minimal savings since retired annuitants cannot receive benefits other than those required by law such as the City's portion of Medicare and Social Security.
