Approval: Resolution to approve appointment of two outgoing Court Reporters as retired annuitants to fill critically needed positions within the 180-day period after retirement. Action: The Executive Committee will consider whether to pass a resolution approving the appointment of two of the Court’s recently retired Court Reporters as retired annuitants within the 180-day period after his retirement, as authorized by Government Code

section 7522.56, subdivision (f)(1), and

section 21224, subdivision (a). Background: Government Code

section 7522.56, subdivision (f)(1), makes a retired public employee eligible to be employed within the 180 days following retirement if (

a) their employer certifies the nature of the post-retirement employment and that the employee’s appointment as a retired annuitant is necessary to fill a critically needed position within that 180-day post-retirement period, and (

b) the employer’s governing body approves the employee’s appointment to a retired annuitant position at a public meeting. Further, Government Code

section 21224, subdivision (a), provides that a retired employee may return to work as a retired annuitant upon appointment by the appointing power of a public employer if the retired employee has specialized skills needed in performing work of limited duration. At this point, the lack of Court Reporters in California has been well-documented, and Alameda, like other trial courts across the state, continues to struggle with recruiting into those positions. Two of Alameda’s Court Reporters recently announced their retirement.

While the Court continues to recruit in hopes of hiring tenured Court Reporters to fill its vacancies, it has an immediate and critical need that warrants the appointment of these two retirees as Court Reporter Per Diems to ensure that a verbatim transcript is made of critical court proceedings.
