ANALYSIS:
An appointment for an Interim City Manager is necessary to fill a critical position with the
City. The City Manager is the chief executive officer of the City and serves as
department head for the Management Services Department. He/she is responsible for
the efficient direction of all departments and the administrative affairs of the City,
including direct s.upport to the City Council. Since the City has limited staff and has also
recently lost its Community Development Director, the existing management staff are
required to service their existing departments to avoid reduction of City services.
The following is a highlight of Mr. Takata's employment agreement . Since Mr. Takata will
be a CaiPERS retired annuitant on his commencement date, he will be paid an hourly rate
of $91.34 for each hour worked, not to exceed 960 hours. Mr. Takata will not receive any
benefits (e.g. health, vision, dental insurance, life insurance, or other benefits typically
received by management employees). It is anticipated that Mr. Takata will commence
work with Temple City on Monday, March 1, 2014 and will work at City Hall five days per
week. It is expected that Mr. Takata will assist the City in retention of a professional
executive recruiting firm to undertake the recruitment of a new full time City Manager and
that Mr. Takata will oversee that process as well as other City operations. Mr. Takata's
employment agreement is attached as Attachment "A".
However, before Mr. Takata can commence work as a CaiPERS retiree, Government
Code sections 7522.56 and 2122(h) require cities which seek to employ a retired
CaiPERS annuitant within the 180 day waiting period after retirement, the governing board
(here the City Council) must certify that the hiring is necessary to fill a critical position.
Based on the facts set forth above and in the employment agreement, Mr. Takata's
retention is necessary to fill the critical position of Interim City Manager. Resolution No.
14-4976 making this certification is attached as Attachment "B".
CONCLUSION:
This matter appeared after the posting of City Council meeting agenda due to the need to
clarify Mr. Takata's status as a retired CaiPERS annuitant and the requirements implicated
if he held that status. As of the posting of this matter, his status has been clarified and all
requirements meet. Based on this, the City Council is requested to take the actions
recommended above.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There will not be a fiscal impact to the Fiscal Year (FY) 2013-14 City Budget with this
action. Sufficient funds have been budgeted for the City Manager's compensation in the
FY 2013-14 City Budget and Mr. Takata is being compensated as a signficiantly lower
amount than budgeted for salary and benefits of a permanment City Manager.
