Type o/Action: ADOPT ADMINISTRATIVE POLICY
sua~ecr: ADOPT A POLICY ON HIRING DISTRICT RETIREES
Su6miKed By:
Cathryn R. Freitas, Human
Resources Manager
REV/EWED AND
Initiating Dept./Div.:
Administration
FOR BOARD ACTION:
RECOMMENDATION: Adopt a District policy and procedure on hiring District retirees.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS: There is no direct financial impact.
ALTERNATIVES/CONSIDERATIONS: The Board could (1) prohibit the hiring of
District retirees, (2) require Board approval, or (3) Board notification and review before
the hiring of a District retiree. In addition, the Board could also (4) delegate the
approval or review to a Board Committee, or (5) delegate the ability to hire a District
retiree to the General Manager.
BACKGROUND: In response to the Board Budget and Finance Committee's
comments on the DistricYs current practice of hiring District retirees and their concern
of providing insufficient notification and review by the Board of Directors, staff has
prepared two policies for consideration. The Committee believes that the DistricYs
hiring of retired employees should provide a"transparenY' process to the public so that
there is no perceived conflict of interest or favoritism in such decisions. Staff believes
that occasionally it is in the DistricYs best interest to be able to hire retirees for
legitimate business reasons. By bringing the hiring to the Board, or a Board Committee
prior to a commitment, the Board could provide staff guidance, as well as to provide
staff the opportunity to address any Board concerns. The DRAFT Policies outline such
practices, and include the requirement for Board notification.
The General Manager was requested by the Budget and Finance Committee to provide
two aiternative DRAFT policies, one requiring Board approval, and one requiring Board
notification and review through the General Manager. Either policy will provide the

before hiring of District retirees. The option the Board chooses will be included in the

HUMAN RESOURCES PROCEDURE
Effective Date: Sheet 1 of 2
Subject: POLICY AND PROCEDURE FOR HIRING DISTRICT RETIREES
Established by: Randall M. Musgraves, Director of Administration
The District occasionally may hire a retired employee for legitimate business reasons.
The District may wish to hire or contract with former District employees after retirement
for the overall benefit of the organization, such as to retain special knowledge or
expertise until a replacement is hired, to provide training to another employee, to
complete specific shoR-term tasks or projects, or to provide a short-term service
normally contracted for by the District. The intent of the District in hiring any District
retiree is to address a short-term need in a method beneficial and cost-effective to the
District, and not as a means for providing on-going employment or income.
The Contra Costa County Employee Retirement Association (CCCERA) and the State
of California dictate many of the rules governing the hiring of District retirees. The
District may hire District retirees under one of the following procedures:
District Temporaries - The District policy for hiring District retirees as temporaries
is based on a CCCERA policy for member agencies. The policy permits the District
to hire retirees who receive pensions from the CCCERA for one hundred and twenty
days or nine hundred and sixty hours in a fiscal year.
It is District practice to hire retirees on a temporary basis only when a position is
vacant within the hiring Department. The retiree is paid the hourly base salary of
the step and range at which he/she was assigned upon retirement from the District.
Note_that_the_base_salary excludes_loogevity_pay_or_other_contractual benefits
accorded to regular, full-time employees.
When employment may last more than one hundred and twenty days or nine-hundred
and sixty hours per fiscal year and/or the retiree wishes to continue employment in a
capacity other than as a District temporary, the retiree has the following two options:
Independent Contractor- The retiree may become an independent contractor
under the laws of the State, i.e. establish her/his own working hours, provide his/her

own vehicle, equipment, and tools, not be supervised by District staff, contract for a
project or number of hours, etc. (The District retains oversight of the final work
product); aiso under the District Purchasing Policy and Procedures s/he must have
evidence of personal liability insurance,- unless waived, or
Contract Employee - Retirees who do not wish to meet the requirements of self-
employment may work for a private firm that contracts for work with the District. For
example, a retiree may be hired by a consulting firm that would assign the
employee to provide services to the District but not be a District employee.
The CCCERA only limits the amount of time a District retiree may work for any of the
CCCERA member agencies. A retiree may supplement his/her income by working for
himself or herself, or any private corporation or public institution not affiliated with the
CCCERA without any restriction on working hours or income.

FROM: RANDALL MUSGRAVES
DEBBIE RATCLIFF D2
SUBJECT: April 3, 2006 Finance Committee Meeting
There were some outstanding questions from the last Board Budget and Finance
Committee meeting which required additional staff research. The questions and
answers are provided below:
1. Page 32, 160218 I.M.P.A.C. Government Services - What were the entries
for "audit trail only"?
The "audit trail only" entries were fraudulent transactions that an employee found
on his procurement card. Once found, the District notified US Bank and credits
were issued in the same amount. Accounting entered both the transactions and
the credits for audit purposes. The procurement card was cancelled and a new
one was issued.
2. Page 44, 28548 Valley Engineering Group - What services does Valley
Engineering provide?
Valley Engineering Group provides construction inspection services for the
District. Attached is some information from their website. To view the website in
its entirety, go to www.veqonline.com. Also a copy of the agreement for
professional engineering services is attached, as requested.
3. A list was requested of employees at the District having authority to
contact attorneys. A list is attached for calendar year 2004. An updated list for
2005 will be brought to the committee meeting.
4. Information was given to the Finance Committee members at the Board
Meeting of April 6 regarding the safety shoe purchase for John Mercurio.
All Board members received a Financial Status Report on the Suzanne

April 4, 2006
TO: ~udget and Finance Committee~
FROM: Randall M. Musgraves Dir rc oe t of Administration R~~
SUBJECT: Safety Boots Purchased by John Mercurio
At the Committee's direction I requested additional information, attached, regarding the
purchase of John Mercurids safety boots in relation to his retirement. In addition, I have
attached a copy of the invoice. The invoice is for five pairs of boots. One pair was for
Engineering (John Mercurio) and was authorized by Don Berger and Randy Schmidt,
three pairs for CSO and was authorized by Bill Brennan and Jim Kelly and one pair for
Plant Operations and was authorized by Doug Craig and Jim Kelly.
Please note that according to Engineering staff the boots were purchased on 2/6/06 and
John notified them of his retirement in March 2006.
Please let me know if any further information is needed.
From: Ann Farrell
To: Musgraves, Randy
Date: 4/4/2006 8:43:55 AM
Subject: Fwd: John Mercurio's Safety Boots
»> Don Berger 4/3/2006 5:32 PM »>
Ann,
Attached is the email I sent to Don Rhoads after the incident in which the meter vault lid at the Contra
Costa Country Club fell on John's foot and ruined his boot. Fortunately he was not injured because he
was wearing his safety shoes.
Since this vault lid is large and heavy and was not installed with a spring assist, I asked Don Rhoads to
replace the meter with a meter that could be read electronically from the surtace without having to open
the vault each time and climb down inside.
John Mercurio purchased his boots in early February after the incident which occurred on February 1. He
needed the boots to read the meters March 1 and was also in the field again at the end of March training
Steve Sauter.
We could not deny John safety shoes just like we could not deny them to summer students or co-op
students.
Lastly, John did not announce his retirement until March, so how were we to know that he wouldn't be
using the boots for long?
Let me know if you need any more information on this issue
Don
