Report
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Board of Supervisors:
Adopt a Resolution confirming the appointment of Ms. Lorna Taluban as Interim Departmental Human Resources Manager for the Health Department.
SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
Recent changes to the California Government Code have modified the conditions under which retired annuitants with the California Public Employees Retirement System ("PERS") may be employed by PERS contract agencies such as the County. With respect to interim positions, PERS now requires that such appointments be made only in circumstances where there is a recruitment that will be conducted to fill the vacancy. The appointment also needs to be accompanied with a resolution containing certain information about the nature of the appointment, including the position, limit on hourly pay, limit on hours worked (up to 960 per FY), that a valid recruitment is being conducted, and other information. The attached resolution addresses requirements of the Government Code.
A key assignment of the Interim Departmental Human Resources Manager will be to oversee the Health Department's human resources processes and activities while the vacancy is filled.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
Human Resources Department and County Counsel reviewed report and concur with recommendation.
FINANCING:
The Departmental Human Resources Manager position is included in Health Department's Adopted FY 2014-15 Budget (4000-HEA014).
