Summary

The council repealed and re‑adopted a prior resolution to permit retired annuitant Maria Alvarez to continue serving in a corrected title, senior advisor to the mayor, and at a corrected hourly rate; the motion passed unanimously with no recorded dissents.

The Sacramento City Council voted to repeal an earlier February resolution and adopt corrected resolutions allowing retired annuitant Maria Alvarez to continue working for the mayor’s office with the corrected title senior advisor to the mayor and at a corrected hourly rate.

A public speaker asked the council to waive the CalPERS 180‑day waiting period in a related prior item; staff returned with a cleanup item and corrected documentation. At the meeting a representative seeking the update described the needed corrections: repeal of the prior resolution, a corrected job title and an hourly rate of $66.860826.

Councilmember Gera moved the repeal and replacement. After a motion and second, council members voted in favor; Mayor Mary McCarty announced the item passed with no votes against and no abstentions. No substantive debate occurred and staff noted Mayor’s office needs continued support.

The measure is an administrative personnel action intended to ensure compliance with CalPERS retired annuitant rules and correct clerical errors in the prior resolution.
