C. The Interim Police Chief possesses specialized skills acquired from a long and distinguished career in law enforcement, including previous service as a Police Chief in California. D. The City of Santa Ana previously deemed the position of Interim Police Chief to be a position of limited duration and requiring specialized skills. E. Government Code Section 21221 (h) provides that when an appointment to a position deemed by the governing body to be of a limited duration and requiring specialized skills is expected to, or will, exceed 960-hours in any calendar year the governing body shall request approval from the CalPERS Board of Administration to extend the temporary employment. F. The City has determined that the appointment of the Interim Police Chief will exceed 960-hours during the 2005 calendar year and that it is desirable to retain the Interim Police Chief because of his knowledge of the Santa Ana Police Department and the Santa Ana community.
