PERMIT COUNTER UPDATE
1) Permit Counter now Open for In-Person Services, by Appointment
With the rapid decline in infection rates following the Omicron surge, the Permit Counter
recently reopened to in-person services, by appointment only, on Monday, March 28.
Beginning on March 21, the Permit Counter began taking appointments for the following
services: requests for information; pay fees by check or credit card; sewer repair permit
issuance; and application package submittals. Appointments can be made online, by
phone, or e-mail. More information is available by visiting the Permits section on Central
San's website.
HUMAN RESOURCES
2) Temporary Hiring Back of Retired Employee to Assist with Permit Counter
Plan Review
The Planning and Development Services Division is hiring back retiree Michael Penny
effective April 4, 2022, to assist temporarily with plan review submittals as an Engineering
Assistant I. The Permit Counter staff are seeing peak activity for application submittals
and plan review, while also restarting the Oracle permitting module and require staff
augmentation. Mr. Penny is a former Central San Associate Engineer who retired in
March 2020; therefore, no Board action is required to waive the 180-day waiting period to
employ a retiree. This temporary hire is for a period not to exceed one year to augment
staff with plan reviews during the busy construction season.
It is anticipated that Mr. Penny's services will be utilized full-time between April and
August and then on a part-time/as-needed basis. Mr. Penny has 35 years' experience in
engineering and assisted at the Permit Counter during his tenure. There is no anticipated
incremental cost to the Operations and Maintenance project budget given forecast labor
savings in the current fiscal year.
Pursuant to Section 7522.56 of the California Government Code and Board Policy No.
BP 003 - Hiring of District Retirees, a Central San retiree may be hired if he or she
possesses a skill set needed to perform specialized work of a limited duration subject to
the following conditions:
• The retiree cannot work more than 960 hours per fiscal year.
• The retiree' s hourly rate of pay cannot be less than the minimum or exceed the
maximum of the published salary range for the job classification for which they are
hired.
• The retiree will receive no service credit or retirement rights for the temporary
assignment.
