Why This Vote Matters
The council approved hiring Bruce Soublet, a CalPERS retiree, as a temporary worker with broad support in a 6-1 vote, with Mayor Butt dissenting. This allows the city to bring back a retired public employee for temporary help under state pension rules that cap his pay at $94,916 for this assignment. The approval follows a standard process for cities needing short-term staffing assistance from experienced former employees. This marks a rare departure from Mayor Butt's usual support for appointment items, as he typically votes yes on nearly all such decisions.
