Fiscal Impact The estimated salary cost for approving the Information Technology Department to hire the retired annuitant, on a temporary basis that does not exceed 960 hours total in Fiscal Year 2025- 26, would be up to approximately$62,220. Alternative Action The City Council could choose not to adopt the attached resolution, and the retired annuitant will not be hired to assist with training of replacement staff, completion of moving applications from the IBM iSeries environment to Oracle and/or other systems, and decommissioning the IBM computer platform, which includes the 2025 end-of-year close out of payroll and financial processing.
