3. STUDY SESSION
Study Session items are items for in-depth discussion and possible direction to staff. No action will be taken.
3.1 SANTA ROSA ANNEXATION OPPORTUNITIES
In February 2022, the Council set six goals for the 2022/2023 fiscal year, one of which is “Deliver housing for all” and another is “Promote economic and community vibrancy.” One of the strategies noted for achieving these goals is to initiate annexation discussions with the County of Sonoma, including areas within south Santa Rosa (Moorland Avenue, Santa Rosa Avenue and the Todd Creek/”2010 area”) and other unincorporated areas within the City’s Urban Growth Boundary (UGB). In June 2022, the Council reviewed the City’s Draft Housing Element and directed staff to continue with the City’s Housing Element as drafted but to continue conversations with the County on potential transfer opportunities for the County’s Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) allocations through annexation and mutual agreement. In October 2022, the Council directed staff to add the prioritization and annexation of the Todd Creek/”2010 area” as a future Council agenda item for discussion. At the study session, City staff will present the opportunities for annexation and will seek Council direction on next steps. One option for next steps would be for Council to take no action at this time and instead consider a city-initiated annexation effort within the comprehensive context of the Council’s upcoming 2023/2024 Goal Setting process. Another option would be to proceed with a city-initiated annexation now, by setting proposed boundaries, identifying key principles and directing staff to come back with a work plan and budget for Council consideration.

DURATION (This item has been continued to February 14, 2023) BACKGROUND: Jeffrey Berk retired from his position as Chief Assistant City Attorney as of January 3, 2023. The City is currently conducting an open recruitment for his replacement. It is anticipated that the recruitment could take four to six months. There are critical issues and projects pending which will need to be addressed while the recruitment for a permanent replacement is underway. Mr. Berk has the specialized knowledge and skills to address those critical issues and projects. Existing staff resources are not otherwise sufficient to undertake that work. To ensure a smooth transition and uninterrupted City operations, it is recommended that Mr. Berk return as an Extra-Help Temporary Employee to serve in the position of part-time Acting Chief Assistant City Attorney pursuant to the provisions of Government Code sections 7522.56, 21221(h), and 21224. In particular, Government Code section 21221(h) permits the hiring of a CalPERS retired annuitant to a vacant position while a recruitment for a permanent placement is underway and Government Code section 21224 permits the hiring of a CalPERS retired annuitant when specialized skills are needed in performing work of limited duration. The appointment will also be made in compliance with the City’s Extra Help Temporary Employee policy.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the City Attorney’s Office and Human Resources Department that the Council, by resolution: 1) approve Jeffrey Berk to be hired as an Extra Help Temporary Employee to the position of part-time Acting Chief Assistant City Attorney for a limited period from January 30, 2023 through July 30, 2023, or until the permanent full-time position is filled, whichever is sooner; and 2) amend the City’s Classification and Salary Plan to add the temporary classification of Extra-Help Chief Assistant City Attorney with an hourly salary of $101.46.
