MINUTES Page 9 City of San Leandro City Council and San Leandro Redevelopment Agency Joint Meeting-March 1, 2010 Councilmember Prola suggested that the Finance Committee at its next meeting consider whether there are other classifications that could be added to the list in order to increase the savings and avoid layoffs. Mr. Hollister stated that he could do additional outreach to employees, and report his findings to the Finance Committee. If additional classifications are identified and offered the additional service credit incentive, this process would need to be repeated later in the year. The Council discussed the inclusion of the Human Resources Director position on the list of identified classifications, expressing concerns about a vacancy in a director level position, the community perception, and the potential loss of all three management-level positions in the Human Resources Department. Mr. Hollister commented that he can begin to develop plans for reorganization once the results of the early retirement incentive are known. Mr. Hollister added that he has issued anorganization-wide memo to keep City staff apprised. • Resolution No. 2010-026, Resolution of Intent to Provide Two Years Additional Service Credit as an Incentive to Identified Classifications to Retire (establishes a designated period of March 15, 2010 through June 15, 2010 for an early retirement incentive for 20 job classifications).
