Findings and Recommendations
3 findings
In spite of public opinion, there are situations that warrant rehiring pensioners and often it makes good business sense to do so. All managers interviewed follow existing procedures, which allow rehiring of pensioners.
Related Recommendations (1)
If the County or the City/Town of Campbell, Cupertino, Gilroy, Los Altos, Los Altos Hills, Los Gatos, Monte Sereno, Morgan Hill, Milpitas, Mountain View, Palo Alto, San Jose, Santa Clara, Saratoga, Sunnyvale desire to end the practice of rehiring pensioners, they should make that official by means of a policy decision. RESPONSE: The City of Milpitas agrees with Finding 1. • The City of Milpitas agrees with Recommendation 1. The City of Milpitas currently outsources one fire inspector who is a pensioner. The annual savings to the City is approximately $140,000.
For over six years, the City of Santa Clara has filled a previously 24/7 type of management job with a part-time employee. Clearly, the job is not a temporary or limited-time-urgent-needs position and six years is more than sufficient time to find a replacement.
Related Recommendations (1)
The City of Santa Clara should consider consolidating with another agency's fire department for fire services and eliminate the part-time fire chief position or fill the position with a permanent part-time employee.
The fifteen towns and cities - Campbell, Cupertino, Gilroy, Los Altos, Los Altos Hills, Los Gatos, Monte Sereno, Morgan Hill, Milpitas, Mountain View, Palo Alto, San Jose, Santa Clara, Saratoga, Sunnyvale - and the County may be inadvertently creating a demand to rehire pensioners because the public sector retirement age is relatively young at 50 (police and fire) or 55 (administrative positions).

RESPONSE The City of Milpitas agrees with Finding 3. • The City of Milpitas agrees with Recommendation 3. • The City of Milpitas recently adopted a two tiered retirement system increasing the retirement age to 55 (police and fire) and 60 (administrative positions).
