Why This Vote Matters

The council unanimously approved a request to let Acting Police Chief Terry Hudson work beyond the state's 960-hour annual limit for retired public employees who return to work. Hudson, a retired officer, has reached California's cap on how many hours he can work per year, but the city needs him to continue while they search for a permanent police chief. The approval allows the city to ask the state pension system (CALPERS) for permission to extend Hudson's hours. This is an administrative matter that keeps the police department fully staffed during the hiring process.
