<br />Mr. Brilhante: No the provision in the HRS is that if a State or County employee <br /> retires….there’s a six month waiting period before they can…you <br /> know…six month waiting period before they could…seek re- <br /> employment with the County or the State you know…before they <br /> can start drawing their retirement so because she didn’t have that <br /> six month waiting period…she could not start her drawing so she <br /> couldn’t double dip is I think your question is what you’re <br /> asking… <br /> <br />Mr. Robinson: So if somebody were to retire…wait for a certain period of time <br /> and take a position with the County…they could double dip in <br /> essence… <br /> <br />Mr. Brilhante: Well…under the current you know State law…there’s that six <br /> month waiting period… <br /> <br />Mr. Robinson: Waiting period…. <br /> <br />Mr. Brilhante: So as long as they meet that requirement then they can and we see <br /> that quite often…we see that you know retired police officers or <br /> alike where they come back…they wait their six months and then <br /> you know they come back as a special duty officer or something <br /> like that…and the reason is and the rational is because the <br /> individual employees…they gain so much knowledge and <br /> historical you know knowledge and institutional knowledge from <br /> their you know 25 – 30 years of you know serving in their capacity <br /> with the County…you know often times we hate to just see <br /> that…all that knowledge you know wasted so that’s why there’s <br /> that provision is…you know they’re beneficial and they’re <br /> valuable you know going forward and especially a situation like <br /> this where you have a position which is such limited in duration <br /> and require such a specific knowledge based that you know <br /> we’re…we’re fortunate to be able to take advantage of something <br /> like that where we bring somebody in on a part-time basis… <br /> <br />Mr. Robinson: Yeah…. <br /> <br />Mr. Brilhante: You know and benefits the County…. <br /> <br />Mr. Robinson: Yeah I fully understand that part…so if somebody were to retire <br /> from the County and decide to run for public office…. <br /> <br />Mr. Brilhante: Public office is a little different because they’re an appointed or <br /> elected official…. <br /> <br />Mr. Robinson: So they’re under a different…. <br />7 <br /> <br /> <br />
