AGENDA TITLE: Adopt Resolution Approving the Extension of Hours for a Retired Annuitant to
Provide Training to New Fleet Superintendent
MEETING DATE: July 21, 2021
SUBMITTED BY: Human Resources Manager
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt resolution approving the extension of hours for a retired
annuitant to continue to train new Fleet Superintendent.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: On December 30, 2020, Fleet Superintendent, Randy Laney retired
after 25 years of service within the Fleet Division, prior to the new
Superintendent being hired. Mr. Laney possesses a wealth of
Institutional knowledge that is pertinent to the City and the incoming Superintendent. There are numerous
state and federal regulations, compliance and reporting requirements that the incoming Superintendent
needs to be trained on. The City conducted a successful recruitment and the newly hired Superintendent
began employment on February 22, 2021. It is critical to the Fleet Division of the Public Works Department
to ensure the continuity of work flow to provide a transition of that institutional knowledge to the newly hired
Superintendent.
The City hired Randy Laney, as a retired annuitant, to train the incoming Superintendent on the myriad of
state and federal reporting processes. Mr. Laney was initially approved to work up to 200 hours and
possesses the required knowledge and experience to perform this work. Staff now recognizes a need to
extend Mr. Laney's maximum allotment of work hours by 100 additional hours to allow for additional training
related to fuel island certification requirements with the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District
and assistance with the purchase of several newly budgeted vehicles. If approved, Mr. Laney will be paid
an hourly rate of $44.42 and would work on a limited duration basis, not to exceed 100 hours.
Staff requests that Council approve the resolution approving the extension of hours to Randy Laney as a
retired annuitant in the position of part-time Fleet Superintendent, effective July 26, 2021.
FISCAL IMPACT: This position will cost $44.42 an hour and will be utilized based on need, not
to exceed $5,000.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Funding from 65055000.71003 within Public Works.
