AGENDA ITEM

DATE: August 6, 2025

TO: Mayor and City Council

FROM: Isaac Aziz, IT Manager

SUBJECT: DESKTOP COMPUTER REPLACEMENT

Recommended Action:

Approve and authorize the City Manager to issue a Purchase Order with SHI for the purchase of new desktop computers for an amount not to exceed $141,680.80.

Fiscal Impact:

The total cost of the proposed project is $141,680.80, which includes the procurement of equipment and five-year post deployment support . This project was budgeted for $145,000 in the adopted Fiscal Year 2025-26 budget.

Background:

The City’s desktop computers currently in use were primarily purchased in 2016 and are well beyond their industry -standard five -year lifecycle. Most of these devices reached end-of-support status in 2021 and are no longer eligible for manufacturer support.

The continued use of these aging systems has created numerous operational inefficiencies, inc luding hardware failures, compatibility issues, and prolonged user downtime. IT staff have had to routinely improvise with off -the-shelf replacement parts, often at inflated costs and with delayed availability. As a result, staff productivity is adversely impacted when basic computing tasks are slowed or halted due to system instability.

Desktop computers are the backbone of staff productivity. Replacing obsolete systems with modern, supported devices is essential to ensuring business continuity, protecting data integrity, and maintaining cybersecurity standards.

Discussion:

The City’s IT infrastructure must keep pace with evolving security, software, and hardware standards. The existing desktop inventory, now approaching 10 years of service, is no 21

longer compatible with all the current software or essential productivity tools. Software upgrades and new business applications often require system resources and performance capabilities that outdated devices cannot provide.

Continued reliance on the se end -of-life machines presents not only a challenge to productivity but also poses a cybersecurity risk. Unsupported hardware may not be compatible with updated firmware, increasing the potential for vulnerabilities. Moreover, aging devices are incompati ble with modern AI -driven applications and collaboration tools.

Based on a review of commercial grade desktop computers and accessories with similar specifications and evaluations considering price, service, reliability, and support, staff recommends the purchase of H P computers from SHI, Inc. Staff solicited prices for 60 replacement PC’s and received 3 responses ranging from $141,547 to $166,955.

To ensure a smooth transition and maximize operational effectiveness, staff is proposing to procure and deploy new desktop computers through trusted vendors HP and SHI. The IT Department has consistently received prompt and high -quality support from these vendors, and their products are known for reliability and enterprise -grade security features.

The new desktop systems will be deployed with up -to-date hardware specifications capable of supporting the City’s productivity, cloud services, and security platforms for the next 5 years.

City of Aliso Viejo

AGENDA ITEM

DATE: August 6, 2025

TO: Mayor and City Council

FROM: Isaac Aziz, IT Manager

SUBJECT: PURCHASE AND REPLACE VIDEO SURVEILLANCE CAMERAS AT THE

ALISO VIEJO CENTER AND AQUATIC CENTER

Recommended Action:

Approve and authorize the City Manager to execute a Professional Services Agreement with NIC Partners for the purchase and replacement of new video surveillance cameras at the Aliso Viejo Center and Aquatic Center for an amount not to exceed $96,000.

Fiscal Impact:

The total cost of the proposed project is $95,73 8, which includes the procurement of equipment, design, engineering, and installation services. This project was budgeted for $96,000 in the adopted Fiscal Year 2025-26 budget.

Background:

The video surveillance system currently in place at the Aliso Viejo Center and Aquatic Center was installed in 2017 and has reached end-of-life. The system is no longer under warranty and has become increasingly difficult to maintain. Additionally, the Aqu atic Center lacks adequate camera coverage in key areas, such as the children’s pool and jacuzzi areas. Past incidents of unauthorized access and vandalism, including individuals jumping over facility fences , have occurred and justify the need for addition al coverage for these areas.

The proposed camera replacement project is intended to modernize and expand video surveillance coverage to provide 24/7 monitoring. This system will enhance security, deter future vandalism, and support investigative efforts s hould incidents occur. The new camera system will integrate with the City’s existing network and provide cloud -based video retention, remote access, and AI-supported analytics.

Discussion:

To ensure a competitive and responsible selection process, staff solicited proposals from three qualified vendors for the replacement and installation of surveillance equipment.

Evaluation criteria included cost, technical approach, solution comprehensiveness, and relevant experience with municipal facilities. Staff received 3 responses from vendors ranging in cost from $95,738 to $129,810.

After a thorough review, staff identified NIC Partners Inc. as the most qualified and cost - effective vendor. NIC Partners proposed a tailored solution using advanced camera technology and demonstrated extensive experience in deploying video surveillance systems for municipalities. The proposal includes the removal of outdated cameras, installation of new indoor and outdoor cameras, licensing, training, and project documentation. The total cost of the proposal, including applicable taxes and labor, is $95,738.

The equipment includes dome, fisheye, and bullet cameras to address various environmental conditions and visibility requirements at both sites. NIC Partners will also provide all labor, mounting materials, and programming necessary to complete the project. The work will be performed during off-hours to minimize disruptions to the public and City operations.

Background:

The State of California Building Standards Commission has adopted the triennial edition of the California Code of Regulation, Title 24, which is also known as the 2025 California Building Code Standards Code (“State Code”). The updated State Code pertains to all aspects of construction, including building, plumbing, mechanical, and electrical regulations. State law mandates that all California jurisdictions enforce the State Code for new building construction, effective January 1, 2026.

The State Code does not have to be locally adopted to be in effect . However, state law permits local jurisdictions to make modifications, referred to as “local amendments.” Local amendments may be more stringent, but no less than the State Code, based on local climatic, geologic, or topographical conditions. The City has adopted the local amendments to the State Code during each of the prior triennial code adoption cycles.

Discussion:

2025 California Building Code (“CBC”)

One of the most significant changes in the 2025 CBC is the introduction of the California Wildland-Urban Interface ( “WUI”) Code. This set of building standards is designed to reduce wildfire risk in areas where urban development borders undeveloped wildland.

The WUI Code applies to new construction and certain remodels or additions within designated WUI zones, also known as Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones (“VHFHSZ”). The City has adopted the applicable fire zone map that identifies the properties in the VHFHSZ, which is available through its GIS platform.

The WUI Code regulates key aspects of construction, including fire -resistant roofing, siding, and decking materials; ember -resistant vents and eaves; defensible space requirements; and enhanced standards for windows and doors to minimize heat and flame intrusion. These updates, including amendments recommended by the Office of the State Fire Marshal, are reflected in Section 13.02.130 Amendments to the California Wildland-Urban Interface Code (Ordinance Exhibit ”A”).

2025 California Fire Code

The 2025 California Fire Code introduces several significant updates, aligning state regulations with the latest national fire safety standards and best practices. These changes, including amendments recommended by the Orange County Fire Authority, are reflected in Chapter 13.04 – Fire Regulations (Ordinance Exhibit “B”).

Local Amendments

The current building codes are based on the adopted 2022 California Building Code (“CBC”), along with previously adopted local amendments. When the 2025 CBC takes effect, it will fully replace the existing codes, thereby nullifying the local amendments. To 88

Page 3 of 4 ends

retain these amendments, they must be reintroduced through the ordinance adopting the 2025 CBC.

In addition to retaining previously adopted amendments, Staff is propo sing the following additional local amendments to the 2025 CBC. The current local amendments as well as proposed amendments are included in Ordinance Exhibit “A”.

 AVMC 13.02.060 (Amendments to Chapter 1 of the California Building Code) [Section 109.4. Fees]: Failure to pay fees and obtain a permit before commencing work shall be deemed a violation of this chapter. At the Building Official’s discretion, a A violation may result in an assessment, which includes double the required permit fees , of up to do uble the permit fees for work on a building, structure, mechanical, gas, electrical or plumbing system before obtaining the necessary permits. Payment of assessed fees shall not relieve any person from fully complying with the requirements of this chapter nor from any other penalties prescribed herein.

Staff’s Comments: The current language of Section 13.02.060 grants the Building Official discretion to determine the fee for legalizing unpermitted work, up to a maximum of double the standard permit fees. Staff recommends removing this discretion to ensure that fees are applied equitably and consistently.

Additional local amendments to the 2025 CBC include updating dates and minor technical clarifications that do not affect the meaning or intent of existing regulations. If the City Council introduces the ordinance on first reading, the second reading and adoption are scheduled for August 20, 2025, with the ordinance taking effect 30 days thereafter.

Environmental:

This Ordinance is not a “project” subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The Ordinance does not qualify as a project because it has no potential to result in either a direct, or reasonably foreseeable indirect, physical change in the environment. (State CEQA Guidelines, section 15378(a)) and therefore is not a project subject to CEQA. Even if the Ordinance is considered a project , the Ordinance falls within the “common sense” exemption set forth in State CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b)(3), which exempts projects from CEQA where “it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment.” Here, it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the Ordinance may have a significant effect on the environment because the Ordinance simply updates existing building codes in compliance with the California Building Standards Code; and it will not result in any development or in any new activity with the potential to impact the environment.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ALISO VIEJO, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING CHAPTERS 13.02 AND 13.04 OF TITLE 13 OF

THE ALISO VIEJO MUNICIPAL CODE AND ADOPTING BY REFERENCE

THE FOLLOWING MODEL CODES INTO THE ALISO VIEJO MUNICIPAL CODE: (1) CALIFORNIA BUILDING CODE, VOLUMES 1 & 2, 20 25 EDITION; WITH AMENDMENTS (2) CALIFORNIA ELECTRICAL CODE, 2025 EDITION; (3) CALIFORNIA PLUMBING CODE, 20 25 EDITION; (4) CALIFORNIA MECHANICAL CODE, 2025 EDITION; (5) INTERNATIONAL PROPERTY MAINTENANCE CODE, 2024 EDITION; (6) CALIFORNIA ADMINISTRATIVE CODE, 20 25 EDITION; (7) CALIFORNIA ENERGY CODE, 20 25 EDITION; (8) CALIFORNIA REFERENCE D STANDARDS CODE, 20 25 EDITION; (9) CALIFORNIA EXISTING BUILDING CODE, 2025 EDITION; (10) CALIFORNIA RESIDENTIAL CODE, 20 25 EDITION, WITH AMENDMENTS ; (11) CALIFORNIA GREEN BUILDING
STANDARDS CODE, 20 25 EDITION; (12) CALIFORNIA WILDLAND URBAN INTERFACE CODE, 2025 EDITION, WITH AMENDMENTS; AND (13) CALIFORNIA FIRE CODE, 2025 EDITION, WITH AMENDMENTS

WHEREAS, pursuant to California Government Code Section 50022.1 et seq. the City of Aliso Viejo (“City”) may adopt by reference the California Building Standards Code, 2025 Edition as provided in Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations and other model codes; and

WHEREAS, the California Building Standards Commission ("Commis sion") recently adopted the 2025 Edition of the California Building Standards Code; and

WHEREAS, California Health and Safety Code Sections 17958.7 and 18941.5 authorize cities to adopt the California Building Standards Code with modifications determined to be reasonably necessary because of local climatic, geological or topographical conditions; and

WHEREAS, the City desires to adopt the 2025 Edition of the California Building Standards Code and other model codes with the necessary local amendments to assure the Codes are tailored to the particular safety needs of the City as required by its unique climatic, geological and topographical conditions; and

WHEREAS, the Fire Marshal and Building Official have recommended that changes and modifications be made to the California Building Standards Code, and have advised that certain changes and modifications to said Code are reasonably necessary due to local conditions within the City of Aliso Viejo, and have further advised that the remainder of the said changes and modifications are of an administrative or procedural nature, or concern themselves with subjects not covered by the Code, or are reasonably necessary to safeguard life and property within the City of Aliso Viejo; and

Page 2 of 9 ends

WHEREAS, the Fire Marshal and Building Official have also recommended that changes and modifications be made to the California Building Standards Code, which are necessary for administrative clarification and to establish administrative standards for the effective enforcement of the building standards of the City of Aliso Viejo and do not modify a building standard pursuant to California Health & Safety Code Section s 17958, 17958.7, and/or 18941.5; and

WHEREAS, the City held a public hearing on August 20, 2025, at which time all interested persons had the opportunity to appear and be heard on the matter of adopting the Codes as amended herein; and

WHEREAS, the City published notice of the aforementioned public hearing pursuant to California Government Code Section 6066 on July 24, 2025 and July 31, 2025; and

WHEREAS, any and all other legal prerequisites relating to the adoption of this Ordinance have occurred.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ALISO VIEJO, CALIFORNIA, DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:

Section 1: Authority. The City Council enacts this Ordinance under the authority granted to the City as follows:

A. California Government Code Section 50022 et seq. authorizes the City to adopt by reference the California Building Standards Code and authorizes the City to adopt other uniform codes by reference;

B. California Health & Safety Code Section s 17958.7 and 18941.5 authorize the City to adopt the California Building Standards Code with modifications determined to be reasonably necessary because of local climatic, geological or topographical conditions.

Section 2. CEQA. The City Council finds that this Ordinance is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to Section s 15378(a) and 15061(b)(3) as the activity does not qualify as a project and is covered by the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing significant effect on the environment. The City Council finds that the changes in this Ordinance are enacted to mitigate the threats posed to public pea ce, health and safety from earthquakes, storms, flooding, high winds and fire. The Ordinance does not qualify as a project because it has no potential to result in either a direct, or reasonably foreseeable indirect, physical change in the environment. (State CEQA Guidelines, section 15378(a)) and therefore is not a project subject to CEQA . It can also be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the Ordinance may have a significant effect on the environment because the Ordinance simply updates existing building codes in compliance with the California Building Standards Code; and it will not result in any development or in any new activity with the potential to impact the environment . Therefore, it can be seen with 92

Page 3 of 9 ends

certainty that adoption of this Ordinance will not have a significant adverse effect on the environment and is therefore exempt from CEQA.

Section 3. Findings. After receiving public testimony, reviewing the evidence submitted by Staff and discussing the proposed ordinance, the City Council hereby finds that the local amendments proposed to the California Building Code, California Residential Code, California Plumbing Code and California Fire Code, 20 25 editions herein are supported by the following findings:

I. Climatic Conditions:

Amendments to Sections 202, 1505.1, 1505.1.3 and 3109.3 of the 20 25 Edition of the California Building Code ; Section 903.3.5.3 of the 2025 Edition of the California Fire Code; Sections R202, R301.2, 301.2(1), R902.1, R902.1.3, R902.2 and R1001.13 of the 20 25 Edition of the California Residential Code are reasonably necessary due to the following climatic conditions:

1. Orange County and the City of Aliso Viejo are located in a semi-arid Mediterranean type climate. It annually experiences extended periods of high temperatures with little or no precipitation. The warm climate encourages the proliferation of swimming pool construction which make modifications to the California Building Code (“CBC”) relating to swimming pools desirable to adequately protect small children from drowning hazards.

Furthermore, hot, dry (Santa Ana) winds, which may reach speeds of 70 M.P.H. or greater, are also common to the area. These climatic conditions cause extreme drying of vegetation and common building materials.

Frequent periods of drought and low humidity add to the fire danger. This predisposes the area to large destructive fires (conflagration). In addition to directly damaging or destroying buildings, these fires are also prone to disrupting utility services throughout the County. Obstacles generated by a strong wind, such as fallen trees, streetlights and utility poles will greatly impact the response time to reach an incident scene. Additionally, there is a significant increase in the amount of wind force at 60 feet above the ground. Use of aerial type fire -fighting apparatus above this height would place rescue personnel at increased risk of injury.

2. The climate alternates between extended periods of drought and brief flooding conditions. Flood conditions may affect the Or ange County Fire Authority’s (Fire Department) ability to respond to a fire or emergency condition. Floods also disrupt utility services to buildings and facilities within the County.

3. Water demand in this densely populated area far exceeds the quantity su pplied by natural precipitation; and although the population continues to grow, the already-taxed water supply does not. Due to storage 93

Page 4 of 9 ends

capacities and consumption, and a limited amount of rainfall, future water allocation is not fully dependable. This necessitates the need for additional and on -site fire protection features. It would also leave tall buildings vulnerable to uncontrolled fires due to a lack of available water and the inability to pump sufficient quantities of available water to floors in a fire.

4. These dry climatic conditions and winds contribute to the rapid spread of even small fires originating in high-density housing or vegetation.

These fires spread very quickly and create a need for increased levels of fire protection. The added protection of fire sprinkler systems and other fire protection methods will supplement normal Fire Department response by providing immediate protection for the building occupants and by containing and controlling the fire spread to the area of origin. Fire sprinkler s ystems will also reduce the use of water for firefighting by as much as 50 to 75 percent. In addition, untreated wood roofs cause or contribute to serious fire hazard and to the rapid spread of fires when such fires are accompanied by high winds. Pieces of burning wood roofs are carried by the wind to other locations and spread fire quickly.

II. Topographical Conditions:

Amendments to Sections 502.1, 903.2, and 903.2.8 of the 20 25 Edition of the California Building Code; Section 903.3.1.1.1 of the 2025 Edition of the California Fire Code; and Sections R319.1, and R1001.13 of the 20 25 Edition of the California Residential Code are reasonably necessary due to the following topographical conditions:

1. Natural slopes of 15 percent or greater generally occur throughout the foothills of Orange County. The elevation change caused by the hills creates the geological foundation on which communities within Orange County are built and will continue to be built on. With much of the populated flatlands already built upon, future growth will occur in areas with steeper slopes and greater constraints in terrain.

2. Located through the County are major roadways, highways and flood control channels that create barriers and slow response times. Hills, slopes, street and storm drain design, accompanied by occasional heavy rainfall, causes roadway flooding and landslides and at times may make an emergency access route impassable. There are areas in Orange County with extended Fire Department emergency response times that exceed the 5-minute goal.

3. Placement of multiple occupancy buildings, location of arterial roads, and fire department staffing constraints due to recent revenue -limiting state legislation have made it difficult for the Fire Department to establish additional fire stations and provide manpower sufficient to respond to 94

Page 5 of 9 ends

fires in high density apartment or condominium buildings. Fire equipment does not allow easy access to areas of buildings greater than 55 feet above the point of vehicle access. These conditions create the need for built-in, on-site fire protection systems to protect occupants and property until fire-fighting apparatus and personnel arrive on the scene.

4. These topographical conditions collectively pose challenges to the Fire Department’s response times. As a result, it is necessary to implement automatic on-site fire -extinguishing systems and other protecti ve measures to safeguard both occupants and property.

III. Geological conditions:

Amendments to Section 1807.1.6 of the 2025 Edition of the California Building Code and Sections R301.2, 301.2(1), R301.9, R309.6, R313.1, R313.2, and R313.3.6.2.2 of the 2025 Edition of the California Residential Code are reasonably necessary due to the following geological conditions:

1. Orange County and the City of Aliso Viejo are located in a highly active seismic area. There are earthquake faults that run along both the northeastern and southwestern boundaries of Orange County. The Newport-Inglewood Fault Zone ( NIFZ), which runs through Orange County, was the source of the destructive 1933 Long Beach earthquake (6.3 magnitude, hypocenter off Newport Beach coast), which took 120 lives. The earthquake caused damage across a wide area - from Laguna Beach to Marina del Rey and inland to Whittier - and represents one of the greatest hazards to liv es and property in the nation. Regional planning for recurrence is recommended by the State of California, Department of Conservation. There was also an earthquake in December 1989, with the epicenter located near the City of Irvine. The fault on which this quake occurred was u nknown prior to this activity.

The October 17, 1989, Santa Cruz earthquake resulted in only one major San Francisco fire in the Marina District, but when combined with the 34 other fires and over 500 responses, the Fire Department was operating to its maximum capability. The Marina District fire was difficult to contain because the main water distribution pipe burst during the earthquake. If more fires had been ignited by the earthquake, it would have been difficult for the Fire Department to contain them. Experts predict a major earthquake in the Orange County area within the next 50 years. This situation creates the need for both additional fire protection measures and automatic on -site fire protection for building occupants since a multitude of fires may result from breakage of gas and electric lines as a result of an earthquake. As noted by “Planning Scenario on a Major Earthquake on the Newport-Inglewood Fault Zone, 1988, State Department of Conservation,” page 59; “unfortunately, 95

Page 6 of 9 ends

barely meeting the minimum earthquake standards of building codes places a building on the verge of being legally unsafe.”

2. Traffic and circulation congestion presently existin g in the City of Aliso Viejo often places Fire Department response time to fire occurrences at risk. This condition will be exacerbated by any major disaster, including any earthquake wherein damage to the highway system will occur. This condition makes th e need for additional on -site protection for property occupants necessary.

3. The City of Aliso Viejo is located in a seismically active area. The viability of the public water system would be questionable at best after a major seismic event. This would leave tall buildings vulnerable to uncontrolled fires due to a lack of available water and an inability to pump sufficient quantities of any available water to f loors above the 55 -foot-level. A severe seismic event has the potential to negatively impact any re scue or fire suppression activities because it is likely to create obstacles similar to those indicated unde r the high wind section above. With the probability of strong aftershocks there exists a need to provide increased protection for occupants on upper floors.

4. Soils throughout the County possess corrosive properties that reduce the expected usable life of water services when metallic pipes in contact with soils are utilized.

5. Portions of the County contain active or former oil production fields.

These areas contain a variety of naturally occurring gases, liquids, and vapors. These compounds present toxicity or flammability hazards to building occupants. Evaluation of these hazards and the risks they pose to development is necessary to implement appropriate mitigation.

Section 4: Building Regulations. Chapter 13.02 of Title 13 of the Aliso Viejo Municipal Code entitled “Building Regulations” is hereby repealed and replaced by reference with the California Building Code, Volumes 1 & 2, 2025 Edition; California Electrical Code, 2025 Edition, California Plumbing Code, 2025 Edition; California Mechanical Code, 2025 Edition; International Property Maintenance Code, 2024 Edition; California Administrative Code, 2025 Edition; California Energy Code, 2025 Edition; California Referenced Standards Code, 2025 Edition; California Existing Building Code, 2025 Edition; California Residential Code, 2025 Edition; California Green Building Standards Code, 2025 Edition; and the California Wildland Urban Interface Code, 2025 Edition; with the local amendments as set forth attached hereto as Exhibit “A.” The provisions of these Codes, as amended, shall constitute the Building Regulations of the City of Aliso Viejo.

RE: DESIGNATION OF VOTING DELEGATES AND ALTERNATES
League of California Cities Annual Conference and Expo, Oct. 8-10, 2025 Long Beach Convention Center

Every year, the League of California Cities convenes a member-driven General Assembly at the Cal Cities Annual Conference and Expo. The General Assembly is an important opportunity where city officials can directly participate in the development of Cal Cities policy.

Taking place on Oct. 10, the General Assembly is comprised of voting delegates appointed by each member city; every city has one voting delegate. Your appointed voting delegate plays an important role during the General Assembly by representing your city and voting on resolutions.

To cast a vote during the General Assembly, your city must designate a voting delegate and up to two alternate voting delegates, one of whom may vote if the designated voting delegate is unable to serve in that capacity. Voting delegates may either be an elected or appointed official.

Action by Council Required. Consistent with Cal Cities bylaws, a city’s voting delegate and up to two alternates must be designated by the city council. Please note that designating the voting delegate and alternates must be done by city council action and cannot be accomplished by individual action of the mayor or city manager alone.

Following council action, please submit your city’s delegates through the online submission portal by Wed., Sept. 24. When completing the Voting Delegate submission form, you will be asked to attest that council action was taken. You will need to be signed in to your My Cal Cities account when submitting the form.

Submitting your voting delegate form by the deadline will allow us time to establish voting delegate/alternate records prior to the conference and provide pre-conference communications with voting delegates.

Conference Registration Required. The voting delegate and alternates must be registered to attend the conference. They need not register for the entire conference; they may register for Friday only. Conference registration is open on the Cal Cities website.

Council Action Advised by September 24, 2025
139

For a city to cast a vote, one voter must be present at the General Assembly and in possession of the voting delegate card and voting tool. Voting delegates and alternates need to pick up their conference badges before signing in and picking up the voting delegate card at the voting delegate desk. This will enable them to receive the special sticker on their name badges that will admit the voting delegate into the voting area during the General Assembly.

Please view Cal Cities’ event and meeting policy in advance of the conference.

Transferring Voting Card to Non-Designated Individuals Not Allowed. The voting delegate card may be transferred freely between the voting delegate and alternates, but only between the voting delegate and alternates. If the voting delegate and alternates find themselves unable to attend the General Assembly, they may not transfer the voting card to another city official.

Seating Protocol during General Assembly. At the General Assembly, individuals with a voting card will sit in a designated area. Admission to the voting area will be limited to the individual in possession of the voting card and with a special sticker on their name badge identifying them as a voting delegate.

The voting delegate desk, located in the conference registration area of the Long Beach Convention Center in Long Beach, will be open at the following times: Wednesday, Oct. 16, 8:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m. and Thursday, Oct. 17, 7:30 a.m.-4:00 p.m. On Friday, Oct. 18, the voting delegate desk will be open at the General Assembly, starting at 7:30 a.m., but will be closed during roll calls and voting.

The voting procedures that will be used at the conference are attached to this memo.

Please share these procedures and this memo with your council and especially with the individuals that your council designates as your city’s voting delegate and alternates.

Once again, thank you for submitting your voting delegate and alternates by Wednesday, Sept. 24. If you have questions, please contact Zach Seals at [email protected].

General Assembly Voting Guidelines

1. One City One Vote. Each member city has a right to cast one vote on matters pertaining to Cal Cities policy.

2. Designating a City Voting Representative. Prior to the Cal Cities Annual Conference and Expo, each city council may designate a voting delegate and up to two alternates; these individuals are identified on the voting delegate form provided to the Cal Cities Credentials Committee.

3. Registering with the Credentials Committee. The voting delegate, or alternates, may pick up the city's voting card at the voting delegate desk in the conference registration area. Voting delegates and alternates must sign in at the voting delegate desk. Here they will receive a special sticker on their name badge and thus be admitted to the voting area at the General Assembly.

4. Signing Initiated Resolution Petitions. Only those individuals who are voting delegates (or alternates), and who have picked up their city’s voting card by providing a signature to the credentials committee at the voting delegate desk, may sign petitions to initiate a resolution.

5. Voting. To cast the city's vote, a city official must have in their possession the city's voting card and voting tool; and be registered with the credentials committee. The voting card may be transferred freely between the voting delegate and alternates but may not be transferred to another city official who is neither a voting delegate nor alternate.

6. Voting Area at General Assembly. At the General Assembly, individuals with a voting card will sit in a designated area. Admission to the voting area will be limited to the individual in possession of the voting card and with a special sticker on their name badge identifying them as a voting delegate.

7. Resolving Disputes. In case of dispute, the credentials committee will determine the validity of signatures on petitioned resolutions and the right of a city official to vote at the General Assembly.

141
Sixty days before the
Annual Conference
and Expo, Cal Cities
members may submit
policy proposals on
issues of importance
to cities. The resolution must
have the concurrence of at least
five additional member cities or
individual members.

How it works: Cal Cities
Resolutions and the General Assembly
General Assembly
General Resolutions Policy Committees
Developing League of California Cities policy is a dynamic process that engages a wide range of members to ensure Cal Cities represents cities with one voice. These policies directly guide Cal Cities’ advocacy to promote local decision-making, and lobby against statewide policies that erode local control.

The resolutions process and General Assembly is one way that city officials can directly participate in the development of Cal Cities policy. If a resolution is approved at the General Assembly, it becomes official Cal Cities policy. Here’s how resolutions and the General Assembly work.

The petitioned
resolution is an
alternate method
to introduce policy
proposals during
the annual conference. The
petition must be signed by
voting delegates from 10% of
member cities, and submitted to
the Cal Cities President at least
24 hours before the beginning
of the General Assembly.

Petitioned Resolutions
The Cal Cities
President assigns
general resolutions
to policy committees
where members
review, debate, and recommend
positions for each policy proposal.

Recommendations are forwarded
to the Resolutions Committee.

Who’s who
The Resolutions Committee
includes representatives
from each Cal Cities
diversity caucus, regional
division, municipal
department, and policy
committee, as well as
individuals appointed by
the Cal Cities president.

Voting delegates
are appointed by each
member city; every city
has one voting delegate.

The General Assembly is a
meeting of the collective
body of all voting
delegates —one from
every member city.

Seven policy committees
meet throughout the year
to review and recommend
positions to take on bills
and regulatory proposals.

Policy committees include
members from each Cal
Cities diversity caucus,
regional division, and
municipal department,
as well as individuals
appointed by the Cal
Cities president.

During the General Assembly, voting delegates
debate and consider general and petitioned
resolutions forwarded by the Resolutions
Committee. Potential Cal Cities bylaws
amendments are also considered at this meeting.

Cal Cities policy
development is a member-
informed process,
grounded in the voices and
experiences of city officials
throughout the state.

For more information visit www.calcities.org/general-assembly Prior to the Annual Conference and Expo
Resolutions Committee
The Resolutions
Committee considers
all resolutions. General
Resolutions approved1 by
either a policy committee
or the Resolutions Committee are next
considered by the General Assembly.

General resolutions not approved, or
referred for further study by both a
policy committee and the Resolutions
Committee do not go to the General
Assembly. All Petitioned Resolutions
are considered by the General
Assembly, unless disqualified.2
During the Annual Conference and Expo
1 The Resolution Committee can amend a general resolution prior to sending it to the General Assembly. 2 Petitioned Resolutions may be disqualified by the Resolutions Committee according to Cal Cities Bylaws Article VI. Sec. 5(f). 142

TO: Mayor and City Council

FROM: Mitzi Ortiz, City Manager

SUBJECT: RESOLUTION AMENDING THE CITY EMPLOYEE SALARY SCHEDULE

TO INCLUDE A FULL-TIME HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGER POSITION

Recommended Action:

Adopt a Resolution amending the City employee salary schedule to include a full -time Human Resources Manager position.

Fiscal Impact:

The proposed addition of a full-time Human Resources Manager position is estimated to have a fiscal impact of approximately $16,000 to $30,000 for the remainder of Fiscal Year 2025-26. After the first year, the annual fiscal impact is anticipated to be approximately $25,000 to $45,000.

Background:

In January 2022, the City Council amended the C ity employee salary schedule, converting the full-time Human Resources Manager position to part -time and adding a full-time Human Resources Analyst. The Human Resources Analyst position was filled by an existing employee who had been assisting with human resources (HR) tasks and was interested in pursuing a career in human resources. To support the transition, the part- time Human Resources Manager role was temporarily filled to assist the new Human Resources Analyst.

Discussion:

The City has an upcoming vacancy in the Human Resources Division, which is currently staffed by a single full-time Human Resources Analyst. Staff has evaluated organizational needs and considered several options for filling the position, including hiring at the Human Resources Ma nager level or contracting for HR services. Contracting for 20 hours of service per week is estimated to cost between $145,600 and $182,000 annually, while a full-time, in-house HR Manager would cost approximately $165,000 to $210,000 per year, including salary and benefits.

Based on this analysis, staff recommends filling the vacancy with a full -time Human Resources Manager. This position provides the leadership and expertise necessary to manage complex and sensitive HR matters, develop policy, and suppor t strategic planning. A manager -level role also ensures comprehensive coverage of key HR functions, such as employee relations, compliance, benefits administration, and talent management, while maintaining continuity and reducing reliance on external consultants.
