A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF ORANGE CERTIFYING THE NEED FOR

OF THE 180 DAY WAIT PERIOD.
WHEREAS, Richard Jacobs, Finance Director, has announced his retirement from
the City of Orange effective January 17, 2014; and
WHEREAS, a recruitment has begun but there has not been adequate time to fill this
critical position; and
WHEREAS, Government Code Section 21221(h) allows a retired employee to
continue to work for a public employer for a term not to exceed 960 hours in a 12 month period
under certain conditions and also provides for the maximum levels of compensation; and
WHEREAS, Government Code Section 7522.56(f)(1) provides further that a retired
employee must wait 180 days before returning to work for a public employer, unless the City
Council certifies that due to the nature of the employment, the appointment of Richard Jacobs
is necessary to fill a critically needed position before 180 days has passed since his retirement.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of
Orange does hereby certify that the position of Finance Director of the City of Orange is a
critical position within the City structure; and
FURTHER, the City Council of the City of Orange certifies that it is necessary to
immediately appoint Richard Jacobs to this position on an interim basis, by virtue of his 10
years in the position as the City's Finance Director and over 25 years of municipal
governmental accounting experience to fill this critical need as there is no other viable
candidate who can immediately perform the requirements of the position. This action meets
the requirements of both Government Code sections 21221(h) and 7522.56(f)(1).
