Supervisors as part of the FY 2018-19 Recommended Budget. Because the original system had
not yet reached the end of its useful life, the manufacturer offered a purchase discount in the

in place, the original equipment may be returned to the manufacturer to receive the credit.The

4.05 CalPERS Post-Retirement Employment Exemption - The Public Employees' Pension Reform Act
(PEPRA) of 2013 makes retirees ineligible for a period of 180 days. An exemption to this rule is
permitted by Government Code section 7522.56(f)(1), if approved by the governing body in a
public meeting on the regular agenda. The Probation Department recommends approval of a
resolution to allow the extra-help hiring of Charles Peck as a Supervisor, Food Services, for the
Department. Charles Peck retired as a regular-help employee on September 4, 2018. The
proposed extra-help hire date is September 12, 2018. The position of Supervisor, Food Services
is necessary for the Department to oversee food service operations within Juvenile Hall. It was
originally anticipated this position would be filled enough in advance of Charles Peck's retirement
to allow for adequate training of his replacement. However it will not be filled until October 2018.
Without adequate training of the incoming Supervisor regarding the complexities of such items
as the school lunch program reimbursement and other State and federal reporting requirements,
the Department will risk being out of compliance and/or lose out on reimbursable activities.The
Department anticipates the duration of extra-help will be approximately 30 days. The Director
of Human Resources has reviewed the facts and concurs that the request is consistent with
Government Code section 7522.56(f)(1) — action requested — 1) APPROVE CALPERS POST-
RETIREMENT EXEMPTION PURSUANT TO GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 7522.56(f)(1); AND 2)
