A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GRAND
TERRACE, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING A ONE-TIME OPTION TO SELL
BACK A LIMITED AMOUNT OF ACCRUED VACATION OR PERSONAL
LEAVE HOURS FOR THE EMPLOYEES OF THE CITY OF GRAND
TERRACE
WHEREAS, a Fiscal Sustainability Model was presented to the City Council at a
regular Council meeting on May 24, 2011 identifying financial challenges of the City; and
WHEREAS, one of the challenges identified was that the City lacks traditional
reserve and replacement funds, which includes not having a reserve established for the
future payout of accrued employee leaves, and
WHEREAS, employee accrued leaves are an unfunded liability for the City; and
WHEREAS, the City Council acknowledges that over the past four fiscal years,
employee compensation has been impacted by various budget actions; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has considered offering employees a one-time option
to sell back vacation leave or personal leave in an effort to reduce the unfunded liability
and to offer something positive for the employees, and
WHEREAS, the City Manager held "Meet and Advise' meetings on November 14,
2011 with unrepresented City Hall Employees and on November 16, 2011 with
unrepresented Child Care Employees to inform them of the possible optional leave sell
back which would require Council approval; and
WHEREAS, the aforementioned eligible employees were given a deadline of
December 9, 2011 to exercise their option to sell back vacation and personal leave time,
subject to the City Council approval of the program.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Grand
Terrace, State of California, hereby approves the following:
SECTION 1: Approve a one-time option to sell back a limited amount of accrued
vacation or personal leave hours.
SECTION 2: An eligible employee may sell back a maximum of 40 hours of
vacation or personal leave if doing so does not reduce his/her combined leave balance to
less than two weeks (80 hours for full time employees).
SECTION 3. The sell back will take place on December 22, 2011 for all eligible
employees who exercised their option to participate in the aforementioned leave sell back
program on or before December 9, 2011.
