RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF NATIONAL CITY
AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO IMPLEMENT A ONE-TIME
INCENTIVE -BASED VOLUNTARY SEPARATION PROGRAM FOR ELIGIBLE
FULL-TIME, CAREER EMPLOYEES OF THE CITY OF NATIONAL CITY
WHEREAS, in response to the City's projected structural deficit, on May 25,
2010, the City Manager presented the City Council with a menu of cost -saving suggestions
developed by employees, employee labor associations, and management; and
WHEREAS, to create on -going personnel related savings, the City Council
authorized an expenditure of up to $1 million to incentivize eligible full-time, career employees of
the City of National City to voluntarily separate from City employment; and
WHEREAS, based upon the direction of the City Council, staff has developed a
model program through which employees have the option of resigning or retiring from the City
during a specified time period in return for a modest economic benefit; and
WHEREAS, the model program is designed to create savings and eligibility will
include consideration of the extent of the cost savings achieved.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of
National City hereby authorizes the City Manager to implement a one-time incentive -based
voluntary separation program for eligible full-time, career employees of the City, described
generally as follows:
A. RETIREMENT INCENTIVE PROGRAM
Any eligible employee, approved by the City Manager, to voluntarily retire
from the City between June 24, 2010 and September 20, 2010 shall
receive two additional years of service credit with the California Public
Employee Retirement System (CaIPERS). Employees are eligible for this
program if they have completed at least five (5) full years of service in a
full-time, benefited, career position, are at least 50 years of age and
eligible to retire through CaIPERS within the defined window period.
B. VOLUNTARY SEPARATION PROGRAM
Any employee who, as determined by the City Manger assists in
achieving cost savings through the elimination of a position or ancillary
position, is approved to voluntarily resign, from the City between June 24,
2010 and September 20, 2010 shall receive a cash incentive. The cash
incentive for individual employees will equal $5,000 plus $1,000 for each
year of service with the City of National City as of the employee's
effective date of separation. Employees opting to voluntarily resign may
continue employee -only health care for a period of twelve (12) months
from separation at a level equal to current active employees. Employees
are eligible for this program if they have completed at least five (5) full
years of service with the City of National City in a benefited, career
position. The City Manager will make the determinations for eligibility
based on the cost savings achieved.
