Resot-ces
Resulting from a projected structural deficit, in an effort to avoid transfers, demotions. and layoffs that
would impact greater than one percent (1 %) of the workforce, the City Council of the City of National
City approved the implementation of an Employee Voluntary Separation Program. Under the terms of
the program, eligible employees may elect to retire from the City and receive two additional years of
service purchased by the City and creditable towards the employees' retirement from the California
Public Employee Retirement System (CaIPERS). In order to execute this provision of the Program, as
authorized under Government Code Section 20903, staff hereby requests that the City Council
designate a ninety (90) day period, effective March 30, 2011 during which eligible employees must retire
in order to receive the additional service credit. Consistent with the provisions of Section 20903, at least
one position shall remain permanently unfilled thereby resulting in an overall reduction in the workforce.
The list of eligible employee classifications is contained in Attachment 1.
