Board approves amended resolution to reclassify contracted role as "extra help retired annuitant" after CalPERS request; one trustee voiced opposition
Summary
The board approved a clarified resolution requested by CalPERS to reclassify a returning worker as an "extra help retired annuitant." Trustee Nancy McCarthy opposed on qualifications grounds; the resolution passed on roll call.
The board considered an amended personnel resolution to clarify terminology at CalPERS' request so that Ken Libby (named during discussion) would be defined as an "extra help retired annuitant" rather than the earlier term used in the item packet.
Assistant Superintendent (speaker 17) explained the change: "CalPERS has asked us to bring this back today to clarify that mister Libby will work as an extra help retired annuitant," and said the scope of work, pay rate, maximum hours and project completion terms remain unchanged. Trustee Nancy McCarthy objected, saying she did not believe Libby was the appropriate type of expert for the assignment and questioned why the district should pay for his return to the project.
Supporters on the dais argued Libby’s knowledge of the Oak Hill project and his role as a liaison justified the appointment. The board moved to a roll‑call vote; the minutes record affirmative votes from each member called and the resolution passed.
