position while a recruitment for a permanent placement is underway and

Government Code section 7522.56 permits the hiring of a CalPERS

retired annuitant when specialized skills are needed in performing work

of limited duration. The appointment will also be made in compliance

with the City’s Use of City Temporary Employees Policy and Hiring

Annuitants Policy.

During his employment as Acting Chief Assistant City Attorney, it is

recommended that Mr. Berk receive compensation at the rate of

$101.46 per hour with no other benefit, incentive, compensation in lieu

of benefit, or other form of compensation paid.

RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the City Attorney’s Office

and Human Resources Department that the Council, by resolution,

approve Jeffrey Berk to be hired as a Temporary Employee to the

position of part-time Acting Chief Assistant City Attorney for a limited

period from February 21, 2023 through February 20, 2024, or until the
