SUMMARY: Planning and Engineering Manager/District
Engineer, Larry Hampson, retired on May 31, 2019. Some of his duties
were transferred to existing District staff. However, there is a
need for his specialized skills and knowledge of District projects, such as the
Sleepy Hollow Intake Facility Project. He will provide assessment and oversight
on District projects. Mr. Hampson’s unique experience and historical
knowledge, after 28 years with the District, make him the only individual who
can carry out these functions. The District is also required to have
a registered Professional Engineer on staff and Mr. Hampson is a registered
Professional Engineer.
It
would greatly benefit the District to offer a limited-term, part-time contract
as a retired annuitant to Mr. Hampson. The contract would be for Mr.
Hampson to act as a District Engineer at his former hourly rate of $78.03, for
up to 960 hours from July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021. He would not receive
any benefits, other than those mandated by state and federal law.
RECOMMENDATION: The Administrative Committee recommends the
Board authorize the expenditure of funds to hire retired annuitant for up to
960 hours of work from July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021. Approval of this item will be contingent upon
final adoption of the FY 2020-2021 budget.
IMPACTS
TO STAFF/RESOURCES: The cost to
the District for a 12-month, part-time contract would not exceed $85,000.
