(County Administration) 4.03 CalPERS Post Retirement Employment Exemption for Mary E Van Gilder - The California Public Employees' Pension Reform Act (PEPRA) of 2013 requires newly retired persons to "sit out" for a period of 180 days before returning to work for an employer in the same retirement system which they receive a retirement. 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 Department of Information Systems recommends approval of a resolution to allow the extra -help hiring of Mary Van Gilder as Accounting Systems Analyst. She retired as a regular -help employee on February 25, 2022, after working 50 years for the County. Mary Van Gilder has intimate knowledge of the County's legacy financial system. Even though the County has finished the first phase of the Workday implementation and is preparing for Phase 2, there is an ongoing need to extract data from the legacy system. Her knowledge and experience is crucial as the County transitions to the new system. It is anticipated that Mary will assist periodically during the transition, which could be approximately a year. The Director of Human Resources has reviewed the facts and concurs that the request is consistent with the Government Code section 7522.56(f)(1) — action requested — ADOPT RESOLUTION AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN.

PUBLIC HEARINGS AND TIMED ITEMS 5.01 9:30AM — Timed Item - Consideration of Options for the Use of Land Adjacent to the Neal Road Recycling and Waste Facility (NRRWF) - In recent months, staff has been in conversation with a for-profit company expressing interest in operating a biomass -to -hydrogen facility in partnership with the Butte County Fire Safe Council (BCFSC). Part of those discussions has included the potential sale or lease of property adjacent to the NRRWF recently acquired by Butte County for the future expansion of landfill operations. Various Butte County departments including County Counsel, General Services, the Department of Public Works, and the Department of Development Services have reviewed the proposal and concur that State law most likely requires a competitive solicitation process for the sale or lease of county property. On February 8, 2022, the Board of Supervisors approved a contract to prepare a Master Plan for the NRRWF. The Master Plan includes an analysis to address future operational needs that address regulatory requirements, increase diversion and recycling, and improve core operational efficiencies. Potential uses for the recently acquired property are included as part of the Master Plan. Until this analysis is complete, it is unclear what potential uses of this property may be. Staff are seeking Board direction on the potential use of this land before completion of the Master Plan - 1) DIRECT STAFF TO PURSUE POTENTIAL OPTIONS FOR THE USE OF RECENTLY PURCHASED LAND ADJACENT TO THE NRRWF; OR 2) TAKE NO FURTHER ACTION AT THIS TIME.
