3) Temporary Hiring Back of Retired Employee to Assist with Upcoming
Pumping Stations (PS) Upgrades-Phase 2 Project and PS Computerized
Maintenance Management System (CMMS) Enhancements
The Treatment Plant Maintenance Division will hire back retiree Chris Haisley, effective
January 3, 2023, to assist temporarily with PS Upgrades-Phase 2 project (Phase 2
Project. Supporting PS Upgrades-Phase 1 project was extremely demanding on staffing
levels and scheduling of PS staff. Filling a temporary position will reduce the load on
current staff and allow for proper attention to support the Phase 2 Project at the Martinez,
Fairview, and Maltby Pumping Stations.
Mr. Haisley is a former Central San PS Operator III who retired on January 3, 2022;
therefore, no Board action is required to waive the 180-day waiting period to employ a
retiree. This temporary hire is for an as-needed hourly basis for a period not to exceed
one year to augment staff to support the PS projects and the efforts to enhance PS
CMMS functionality. Mr. Haisley has 25 years of experience in PS operation and
maintenance, and is an expert in all areas of PS operations. The District currently has
three relatively new employees in PS operations - one Trainee and two PS Operator IIs
with less than one year experience. The two newer operators are both on the north side
which is part of the Phase Two Project.

Hiring a temporary employee to help with the workload is needed and very cost effective
compared to hiring other outside temporary services, with little understanding of Central
San's systems. There is no anticipated incremental cost to the Operations and
Maintenance project budget given forecast labor savings in the current fiscal year and will
be included in the next fiscal year budget.
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: 1) the retiree cannot work more than 960 hours per fiscal year,
2) 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,
and 3) the retiree will receive no service credit or retirement rights for the temporary
assignment.
