Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
Authority
Portland City Charter Section 2-506(a) authorizes the City Auditor to establish rules for the Office of the Auditor. Charter Section 2-506(b) authorizes the City Auditor to establish and administer human resources rules for the Auditor’ Office that are consistent with City human resources rules, except where the City Auditor determines, in writing, that a City human resources rule impairs the Auditor Office’s independence or duties.
Therefore, the City Auditor’s Office proposes the revision of the below administrative rule, which is available for public comment for thirty days before adoption.
ARA 3.03 - Recruitment and Hiring
About the changes
ARA 3.03
ARA 3.03, Chapter VI. Employment of Retirees was amended through interim adoption to adopt HRAR 3.06 – Employment of Retirees by reference with minor exceptions. This update was prompted by the update of HRAR 3.06 to extend the length of time a returning retiree may work, from two to five years, and make them eligible for vacation accrual. It is now open for public comment to make these changes permanent.
