ISSUE: Board of Directors' authorization is required for a medical leave of absence
without pay in excess of 30 days.
RECOMMENDATION: Authorize extension of medical leave of absence without pay for
Senior Plant Operator Gordon Trapp.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS: Currently, the District is only paying for Mr. Trapp's medical
and health benefits resulting in an approximate monthly cost of $1,882.00.
ALTERNATIVES /CONSIDERATIONS: At this time, there are no other alternatives as
the District cannot lawfully terminate Mr. Trapp's medical leave of absence without pay
until a determination regarding his eligibility for disability retirement has been made by
the Contra Costa County Employees' Retirement Association (CCCERA).
BACKGROUND: Mr. Trapp has been on a medical leave of absence without pay since
February 18, 2010 and the Board has authorized several extensions with the last
authorization extending his leave to November 17, 2012.
The District was notified by the Contra Costa County Employees' Retirement Association
(CCCERA) that Mr. Trapp had applied for disability retirement on April 13, 2012. CCERA
is currently reviewing his eligibility for disability retirement and has informed the District
that the review process requires further review. As a result, Board authorization is
requested to approve the medical leave of absence without pay through March 17, 2013.
RECOMMENDED BOARD ACTION: Authorize extension of medical leave of absence
without pay for Senior Plant Operator Gordon Trapp through March 17, 2013.
