Council approves interim city clerk hiring of retired annuitant Cathy Baylor
Summary
Council approved a resolution to hire retired annuitant Cathy Baylor as interim city clerk at $87.05/hour (approx. 20 hours/week), with no additional benefits, to maintain continuity while a permanent recruitment proceeds.
The Aliso Viejo City Council unanimously approved an employment agreement to hire retired annuitant Cathy Baylor as interim city clerk while the city conducts a search for a permanent replacement.
City Manager outlined the proposal and said Baylor brings more than 42 years of municipal experience, most recently serving as Garden Grove city clerk. The proposed agreement sets compensation at $87.05 per hour with no additional benefits or retirement contributions and anticipates roughly 20 hours of work per week, subject to CalPERS limits (960 hours for retired annuitants).
Councilmembers asked no substantive questions and moved, seconded and approved the resolution by roll call. City staff said the hourly cost would be offset by salary savings from the vacancy and the agreement remains in effect until a permanent hire is made.
Next steps: staff will proceed with the recruitment for a permanent city clerk while Baylor serves in an interim capacity.
