position'of Assistant City Auditor, effective April, 2009; and
WHEREAS, the City of Palo Alto ("City") appointed Edmunds to the position of

year on or about May 4, 2011; and
WHEREAS, the City Auditor's Office has three full-time Senior Performance
Auditor positions and one full-time administrative assistant in its organizational structure,
reporting to the City Auditor. The City Auditor position is required to perform and manage
audits related to internal accounting and management activities to assure, and identify and
improve controls, procedures and system efficiencies in the City's operating departments. The

perform these duties while the City recruits for a new, permanent City Auditor.

CalPERS Board of Administration be requested to approve an extension in accordance with
