City Manager Glaves reported that he had reviewed this request with the City Attorney and concluded that such a provision would be added by ordinance to the code as Section 17-2.2. There is a question as to whether it is appropriate to place this provision in the code in order to achieve the desired purpose. A City Code provision might conflict with the specific provisions of the State inactments governing the same provision thus setting up a legal situation which might have to be dealt with in the courts. The City Attorney has drafted the following language to satisfy the City Council's request which can be either meted as an ordinance or as a policy statement: POLICY STATEMENT' "Retirenez►t - ADOPTED RE ADVANCED NOTIFICATION OF Any department or designated management personnel other RE.TI1U%EW OF KEY than the City Manager, City Attorney, City Clerk and PEFSONNEL City Treasurer, wishing to retire from service with the City, shall file with the City Manager at least 6 months before retirement, a written notice of intent to retire. The City Manager, City Attorney, City Clerk, and City Treasurer wishing to retire from service with the City, shall file with the City Council at least 6 months before retirement, a written notice of intent to retire." Following discussion, Council, on motion of Councilman Hughes, Yatnich second, directed that the heretofore set forth language be included in the Administrative Policy Manual of the Citj of Lodi. r- --iOUNCIL COMMUNICATP"N TO THE CITY COUNCIL DATE NO.

In any event, I can assure the City Council that I will comply its request for six months notice prior to the retirment date. i I believe it is understandable that retirement dates for department heads will be considerably more tentative because they deal with longer range planning.

Amwa,",1j, k Henry A. Glaves, Jr. City Manager UNCIL COA'IMUNICATTAN TO THE CITY COUNCIL DATE NO. FROM THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE January 18, 1982 SUBJECT: Proposed ordinance regarding Advanced Notification of Retirement of Key Personnel At its meeting of December 9, 1981, the City Council requested "that the language of Section 17-2.1 of the City Code be clarified to provide, in as much as possible, adequate advance notice to the City Council of planned retirements of other key personnel." I have reviewed this request with the City Attorney and concluded that such a provision would be added by ordinance to the code as Section 17-2.2. There is a question as to whether it is appropriate to place this provision in the code in order to achieve the desired purpose. The rules and regulations regarding employee rights to retirement are, for the most part, legislated into the Public Employees Retirement System by the State Legislature or the PERS advisory body. A City Code provision might conflict with the specific provisions of the State inactments governing the same provision thus setting up a legal situation which might have to be dealt with in the courts. If we consider a situation in which an employee announces a retirement date less than six months, but in compliance with all other PERS requirements, we would be faced with the question as to how to secure compliance with the City Y i Code. It is doubtful that we could deny the employee's request for retirement under these circumstances. If, on the other hand, it is the desire of the City Council to provide a policy for guidance of employees contemplating retirement, it can be accomplished by the adoption of such a policy statement to be included in the Administrative Policy Manual. This policy statement would be effective as a guide as to what is expected of key personnel without contending with conflict in inforcement in the event of special circumstances that might affect an individuals plans. Accordingly, the City Attorney has drafted the follc i„y 'language to satisfy the City Council's request which can be either inacted as an ordinance or as a policy statement as recommender?. "Retirement - Any department or designated management personnel other than the City Manager, City Attorney, City Clerk and City Treasurer, wishing to retire from service with the City, shall file with the City Manager at least 6 months before retirement, a written notice of intent to retire. Page 2 Council Communication The City Manager, City Attorney, City Clerk, and City Treasurer wishing to retire from service with the City, shall file with the City Council at least 6 months before retirement, a written notice of intent to retire." The language of the above provision complys with City Code Section 17-4, providing for the designation and powers of appointing authorities. �j AAix.*, p4aw Henry A.
