The rate for Authority’s time for the Additional Services shall be the then-current fully burdened overhead rate (the “Fully Burdened Overhead Rate”) for the employee performing the Additional Services. The Fully Burdened Overhead Rate is an hourly billable rate that captures all Authority costs (direct and indirect) associated with an employee, over and above gross compensation or payroll costs. Typical costs associated with the Fully Burdened Overhead Rate include payroll taxes, worker's compensation, health insurance, paid time off, pension contributions, other benefits, and indirect costs including departmental and citywide administrative overhead allocations. The applicable Fully Burdened Overhead Rate will depend on the Authority employee performing the Additional Services as each employee has a different Fully Burdened Overhead Rate that is calculated based on that particular employee’s salary and benefits. (e) Invoices for Additional Services. Authority will submit a monthly itemized invoice to the City for any Additional Services provided by the Authority during the preceding month. The City will pay the Authority within 30 days after approval of each invoice.
4. Method of Payment. The Authority shall provide to City an invoice for payment for the Services on the following dates and in the following amounts:
(a) On July 1, 2024, an invoice equal to 50% of the Baseline Rate for fiscal year 2024-2025 in the amount of $52,750.00 plus the Pass-Through Rate for fiscal year 2024-2025 of $2,000.00 for a total of $54,750.00; and
(b) On January 1, 2025, a second invoice for the remaining 50% of the Baseline Rate for fiscal year 2024-2025 in the amount of $52,750.00.
(c) On July 1, 2025, a third invoice for 50% of the Baseline Rate for fiscal year 2025-2026 in the amount of $54,850 plus the Pass-Through Rate for fiscal year 2025-2026 in the amount of $2,000.00 for a total of $56,850.00; and
(d) On January 1, 2024, a fourth invoice for the remaining 50% of the Baseline Rate for fiscal year 2025-2026 in the amount of $54,850.00.
City shall pay the Authority within thirty (30) days following receipt of an invoice.

TITLE
NBCAP - 2024-25 Chemical Purchases
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolu*on authorizing the purchase of chemicals for the Water Enterprise in the amount of $490,000; for the Wastewater Enterprise in the amount of $35,000 and for the Recycled Water Enterprise in the amount of $90,000. These amounts have been budgeted in FY 2024/25
CONTACT
Erica Ahmann Smithies, P.E., Public Works Director
Dominic Patrick, Water Systems Manager
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS
The City cooperates with other local agencies to obtain bulk pricing for chemicals to aid in the treatment of drinking water, wastewater and recycled water. The “North Bay Agency Chemical Pool” is comprised of the ci*es of American Canyon, Napa, Vallejo, Fairfield, Vacaville and others. The City has par*cipated in the “Pool” since 1994. Each Fiscal Year, this process ensures the City receives the best possible prices from vendors.
Sodium Hydroxide is used to adjust pH depending on source water quality and Sodium Hypochlorite is used in the disinfec*on process of finished potable and recycled water. The disinfec*on process and pH adjustments help control and mi*gate the forma*on of disinfec*on byproducts and opera*onal changes made in this regard can result in a change of consumables. Aluminum sulfate is used in water purifica*on. In water purifica*on, it causes suspended impuri*es to coagulate into larger particles and then settle to the bottom to be filtered out.
For FY 2024/25, the lowest responsive and responsible bidders for the Pool are as follows:
Vendor Chemical
Chemtrade
Aluminum Sulfate (Acid
Alum, Full)
Univar Sodium Hydroxide (25%
NaOH, Full)
27 Thatcher
Sodium Hypochlorite
(12.5% NaOCI, Short)
Other chemicals outside the Consor*um are ADVFLOC and CC950S which are advanced engineered coagulants that enhances organic removal assis*ng in reduc*on of Disinfec*on-By-Products and improves overall plant performances. By using Advanced Floc (ADVFLOC) and CC950S it reduces other chemicals. Citric Acid is a weak acid made of citrus fruits, it is used in water chemistry for stabiliza*on, neutraliza*on and removes inorganic material from the membrane filters. These chemicals are obtained from BWS, Inc., USALCO, LLC and Thatcher.
It is an*cipated that the cost of Chemicals will be $490,000 for the Water Enterprise; $35,000 for the Wastewater Enterprise and $90,000 for the Recycled Water Enterprise. These amounts have been budgeted in FY2024/25.
COUNCIL PRIORITY PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS
Infrastructure: "Develop and maintain infrastructure resources to support sustainable growth."
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds are appropriated in the FY2024/25 Budget, Water Enterprise 510-50-560-43115, Wastewater Enterprise 540-50-570-43115 and Recycled Water Enterprise 580-50-590-43115 to implement the recommended action.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
15378(b) - The ac*on is not a "Project" subject to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") because it does not qualify as a "Project" under Public Resources Code Sec*ons 21065 and 21080 and in Section 15378(b) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations.

TITLE
Increase to the Fire District's Development and Fire Capital Facili)es Fee for Fiscal Year 2024 -2025 by the change in the Consumer Price Index.
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolu)on approving an increase to the American Canyon Fire Protec)on District’s Development Impact Fee and Fire Capital Facili)es Fee for All New Construc)on and New Development to Fund Fire Protec)on Services for Fiscal Year 2024-2025 by the Change in the Consumer Price Index of 3.8%.
CONTACT
Geoff Belyea, Fire Chief
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS
On January 24, 2023, at a Regular Fire Board Mee)ng, the Board adopted Resolu)on 2023-05. This resolu)on ini)ated the process of implemen)ng a fee to offset the rising costs that new development imposes on the District. The Board resolved to collaborate with the City of American Canyon to implement this fee for proper)es within both the City and the District, and with the County of Napa for properties within both the District and the County.
Subsequently, on March 21, 2023, the City of American Canyon adopted Ordinance 2023-02. Sec)on 2, item H of this ordinance s)pulates that the Fire Capital Facili)es Fee shall automa)cally be adjusted annually on July 1, based on the change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the San Francisco/Oakland/San Jose area for the twelve-month period ending the preceding April.
In accordance with Ordinance 2023-02, it is recommended that the Development Impact Fee for all new construc)on and new development, which is intended to fund fire protec)on services, be increased by the cost of living adjustment of 3.8%. This adjustment aligns with the CPI increase for the specified region.
If approved, this adjustment will result in the Impact Fee increasing from ninety-eight cents ($0.98) per square foot to one dollar and two cents ($1.02) per square foot, represen)ng a four-cent ($0.04) increase.
32 COUNCIL PRIORITY PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS
Public Safety: "Ensure American Canyon remains a safe community."
FISCAL IMPACT
The fiscal impact of applying the 3.8% CPI increase to the Development Impact Fee will result in the fee increasing from ninety-eight cents ($0.98) per square foot to one dollar and two cents ($1.02) per square foot. This represents a four-cent ($0.04) increase.

TITLE
Building & Safety Services Agreement
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolu-on approving a two-year agreement with BPR Consul-ng Group not to exceed $1,725,500 for Building Official, Plan Check, and Building Inspec-on services during Fiscal Year 2024/25 and 2025/26.
CONTACT
Brent Cooper, AICP, Community Development Department
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS
Since 2011, Interwest Consul-ng Group has provided contract Building and Safety Services that includes a part--me Building Official, Plan Check services, and on-call Building Inspec-on Services.
This contact has provided flexible staff levels and customer service throughout stronger and weaker economic conditions.
The current contract with Interwest expires at the end of this fiscal year. Unlike prior renewals, Interwest requested significant changes to its compensa-on for the upcoming fiscal year.
Furthermore, the City's Fiscal Policy requires contracts to be compe--vely bid on a periodic basis.
As a result, staff released a Request for Proposal to several Building and Safety services companies using our new on-line GovDelivery RFP system.
The City received six proposals that were rated by the Finance Director, Public Works Director, Community Development Director, Code Enforcement Officer, Permit Technician, and Senior Planner. A summary of scores is included as Attachment 2.
The highest scoring firm is BPR Consul-ng Group. This firm proposed compe--ve rates, and is lead by Ron Beehler, formerly with Interwest Consul-ng Group. While at Interwest Consul-ng Group, Mr. Beehler served as a Contract Building Official for the City of American Canyon for an approximately 2-year period. During this -me, Mr. Beehler, who is both a Structural Engineer and a Cer-fied Building official, provided very high quality Building Official services with a "common sense" approach during his prior service at the City of American Canyon. The BPR proposal iden-fies Mr. Beehler for the Building Official role for the proposed BPR contract. 39 Many of the current BPR Plan Check and Inspec-on staff proposed for service to American Canyon served that role for the City during their former employment at Interwest Consulting Group.
For Fiscal Year 2024/25, staff an-cipates that the Interwest Building and Safety services will cost $850,000 which is offset from building plan check and inspec-on revenue. The 2-Year contract cost of $875,500 includes a 3% inflation factor for a total not to exceed cost of $1,725,500.
COUNCIL PRIORITY PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS
Organizational Effectiveness: "Deliver exemplary government services."
FISCAL IMPACT
Funding to implement the Recommended Action is included in the FY2024/25 Annual Budget.

Construction Inspection Services
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolu'on approving Amendment #2 to Agreement #2023-A147 with Coastland Civil Engineering, Inc. for Construc'on Inspec'on Services in an amount of $375,000 for a total contract amount not to exceed $475,000.
CONTACT
Erica Ahmann Smithies, P.E., Public Works Director
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS
With the con'nued growth throughout the City it has been necessary to contract with Coastland Civil Engineering to increase our ability to provide skilled construc'on inspec'on services for infrastructure that is being built by Developers in areas such as Watson Ranch and Oathill. Coastland Civil Engineering has been assis'ng Public Works since 2021 to ensure that new infrastructure like streets, water mains, pump sta'ons and sewer mains, to name just a few, are properly built prior to acceptance. This contract currently provides approximately 90% Development and 10% Capital Improvement inspec'on services. All inspec'ons done for Development are reimbursed to the City by the Developer.
Staff is very pleased with the con'nued quality of Coastland's work and would like to extend the current contract to include fiscal year 2024/25 and increase the contract amount not to exceed $475,000. Sufficient budget exists in Fiscal Year 2023/24 and has been budgeted in Fiscal Year 2024/25 to accommodate this request.
COUNCIL PRIORITY PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS
Infrastructure: "Develop and maintain infrastructure resources to support sustainable growth."
FISCAL IMPACT
The original contract - including Amendment 1 - was for a total contact amount of $100,000. The recommended ac'on will increase the total contact to $475,000. There is sufficient budget in both GL 105-60-660-42160 for FY23/24 and FY24/25 to implement the recommended action. The cost for 44 these services are offset by increased revenue received from private developers.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
15378(b) - The ac'on is not a "Project" subject to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") because it does not qualify as a "Project" under Public Resources Code Sec'ons 21065 and 21080 and in Section 15378(b) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations.

Update City Classification Plan
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution updating the City's Classification Plan.
CONTACT
Maria Ojeda, Assistant City Manager
Scott Corey, Human Resources Officer II
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS
The City of American Canyon’s Classifica2on Plan (the "Plan") is a systema2c process for defining specific scopes of work, iden2fying the knowledge, skills and abili2es to perform that work, and grouping job classifica2ons into job families based on similari2es in du2es, responsibili2es and requirements. The City Council maintains the Plan by approving the addi2on of new job classifications, significant updates to existing classifications and removal of obsolete job classes.
In Fiscal Year 2023/2024, the City undertook a Citywide employee sa2sfac2on survey and organiza2onal assessments of the Public Works, Maintenance and U2li2es, and Parks and Recrea2on departments. On April 16, 2024, the City Manager presented the findings of the survey and assessments and proposed staffing changes for Fiscal Year 2024/2025 and beyond (staff report attached as Attachment A).
In 2023, the City Manager's Office and the Maintenance and U2li2es Department collaborated to update the Maintenance Worker I/II/III classifica2on to clarify du2es and requirements of this classifica2on that may vary depending on specific duty requirements of the division to which an employee is assigned. This work resulted in revisions to the classifica2on requiring City Council approval.
A vacancy in the Human Resources Division in January 2024 triggered a review of the classifica2ons in that work group; such review is a best prac2ce to ensure the accuracy of classifica2ons over 2me.
With the help of a consultant, it was determined that the exis2ng classifica2ons were outdated and did not adequately describe the required work or appor2on it appropriately among the exis2ng classifica2ons. As a result, it is recommended the exis2ng classifica2ons be replaced, and staff 47 members be reclassed appropriately.
The Fiscal Year 2024/2025 Budget approved by the City Council on June 4, 2024, funded the posi2on changes requiring new or updated classifications.
The City Manager's Office has met and consulted with Teamsters representa2ves on the proposed changes to all represented classifications.
It is recommended that the City Council amend the Plan as follows:
Add the following classifications:
Chief Plant Operator
Deputy City Clerk-Community Development Department (Represented) Human Resources Analyst I/II
Human Resources Manager
Human Resources Technician
Management Analyst I/II (Represented)
Recreation Specialist
Remove the following classifications:
Maintenance & Utilities Director
Administrative Services Director
Aquatics Supervisor
Amend the following classification:
Deputy Public Works Director, change title to Assistant Director of Public Works Deputy City Clerk (Unrepresented)
Management Analyst I/II (Unrepresented)
Maintenance Worker I/II/III
Recreation Coordinator
Recreation Manager
Recreation Supervisor
The added and amended classification specifications are attached to the enabling resolution.
Classifica2ons covered by the provisions of employee group Memorandums of Understanding (the "MOUs") and the Unrepresented Compensa2on Program (the "Program") are listed specifically in those documents. As classifica2ons are added or removed from the Plan, it is appropriate to update the MOUs and Program documents to ensure clarity of inten2on. It is recommended the City Manager be authorized to update these documents accordingly to reflect the City Council's action. 48 COUNCIL PRIORITY PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS

MAINTENANCE WORKER I
MAINTENANCE WORKER II
MAINTENANCE WORKER III
Class specifications are intended to present a descriptive list of the range of duties performed by employees in this class. Specifications are not intended to reflect all duties performed in a job.
DEFINITION
Under supervision, performs a variety of maintenance and construction duties and operates public works, maintenance and utilities equipment. Initial hires and assignments are made to either the buildings, parks, streets/storm drainage, water distribution, or wastewater collection divisions, although Maintenance Workers may be reassigned to any of the divisions at any time for business or career development reasons.
DISTINGUISHING CHARACTERISTICS
Maintenance Worker I/II/III is a flexibly-staffed class series. Positions allocated to the I/II levels are normally filled at the I level. Advancement from the I to the II level is at the discretion of the appointing authority provided that the following criteria are met: (1) the minimum qualifications and time-in-grade requirements, (2) demonstration of the ability to independently perform the full scope of the assigned duties.
Advancement from the II level to the III level is at the discretion of the appointing authority provided that the following criteria are met: (1) the minimum qualifications and time-ingrade requirement, (2) demonstration of the ability to perform the most difficult and complex maintenance/construction work for the preponderance of the time.
At the Maintenance Worker II and III levels, separate minimum qualifications and recruitments are permitted which allow for separate eligibility lists for each work division (Buildings, Parks, Streets/Storm Drainage, Water Distribution, or Sewer Collection).
Since the Maintenance Worker I class is the entry level with only minimal experience requirements, there are no separate recruitments conducted and hiring lists established.
Rather, only one hiring list is established and all Maintenance Worker I positions are filled from the same list.
Maintenance Worker I is the entry level class. Initially under close supervision, incumbents learn basic maintenance, construction, and safety procedures. As experience is gained, there is greater independence of action within established guidelines and incumbents are expected to perform a broader scope of duties.
Maintenance Worker II is the experienced, journey level class, fully competent to independently perform the full range of the assigned maintenance and construction work.
Specific duties will vary depending upon the section to which assigned. This class is distinguished from the next higher class of Maintenance Worker III in that the latter performs the most difficult, complex, and specialized maintenance/construction duties which require a higher level of skill and knowledge.
Maintenance Worker III is the advanced journey and highly specialized class. The class is responsible for performing the most difficult, complex, and specialized duties for the 93 2
preponderance of the time. Incumbents at this level are highly experienced and capable of handling the most difficult work and equipment across one or more assignments (Buildings, Parks, Streets/Storm Drainage, Water Distribution, Sewer Collection, etc.).
Examples of such advanced, specialized duties are: operating complex equipment with a high degree of skill; and, understanding, implementing, and acting as a project lead on projects that involve City standard specifications. This class is distinguished from the Senior Maintenance Worker in that the latter is the lead-worker and is responsible for assigning work to, and reviewing the work of, lower-level Maintenance Workers in addition to handling complex maintenance and construction assignments.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA

STAFF REPORT
WORKSHOP
ITEM NUMBER: 14.
TITLE
Proposed Staffing FY 24/25 and Beyond
RECOMMENDATION
Receive a presenta-on on employee sa-sfac-on surveys, organiza-onal assessments and proposed staffing for Fiscal Year FY 24/25 and beyond.
CONTACT
Jason Holley, City Manager
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS
Staff and consultants conducted various employee sa-sfac-on surveys and organiza-onal assessments in prepara-on for the Fiscal Year 24/25 Budget. Generally, the iden-fied needs are staffing (full-time or part-time), outside resources (ie. consultants, contractors, etc.), training, and/or technology & equipment.
Employee Satisfaction Survey
An Employee Sa-sfac-on Survey was undertaken by Pollco in Fall 2023. The results present the opinions of City employees regarding their job sa-sfac-on, engagement, and key characteris-cs of their work environment (Attachment 1).
A total of 69 employees completed surveys (78% response rate). American Canyon's results compare favorably to the benchmarks of more than 25,000 other local government employees surveyed across the U.S.
A summary is below:
Employee development is valued by American Canyon employees and exceeded the na-onal average in many areas.
Although employees appreciate the work environment and benefits provided, there is some concern surrounding resources provided.
American Canyon employees are sa-sfied with their jobs and plan to con-nue working for American Canyon.
American Canyon is making positive strides in the areas of inclusivity and equity. 118
Organizational Assessment - Public Works and Maintenance and Utilities Departments The assessment of the Public Works and the Maintenance and U-li-es Departments was extensive.
It includes an analysis of organiza-onal structures, management systems and use of best prac-ces by Baker Tilly, one of the na-on’s preeminent municipal advisory firms. The report (AJachment 2) provides a roadmap for some changes - other changes are proposed independently by the City Manager.
The following methods were used:
Individual Interviews: FiKeen (15) individual staff interviews. These mee-ngs will be confidential with only the consultants and staff member participating.
Focus Groups: Four (4) focus group mee-ngs. One (1) each at the Corpora-on Yard, Water Reclama-on Facility, Water Treatment Plant and City Hall. All employees of each Department were invited to aJend these group mee-ngs. This included the U-lity Billing team because of their critical role.
Survey: a confidential employee survey for each Department.
Peer ci-es review: Comparison of four (4) peer ci-es for their organiza-on structures and how functions are aligned.
The City Manager and Baker Tilly share the following key findings:
Merge into single department.
Recruit for leadership position over utilities only (not maintenance).
Address confusion/efficiency Capital program
Build analytical capacity.
Separate construction inspection from design
Supervisory needs for building maintenance & fleet.
Narrow the focus of park maintenance group
Technology, technology, technology
Training & succession planning
Utilize contractors and consultants
The following changes are underway:
Combine into a single Public Works Department.
Recruit for Assistant Public Works Director – Utilities and Environmental position Change Streets & Drainage Division to report to PWD Superintendent (instead of Public Works Director)
Change work location for Corp Yard staff
The following changes are proposed for Fiscal Year 24/25:
Create “Site Supervisor” role for each treatment plant
New Management Analyst position reporting to PWD Director New Project Manager position
Utilize contractor for pool maintenance
119
Utilize sheep contractor for vegetation management
The following changes are under consideration for the future:
Change work location of utility field staff
Create Field Inspection Division
Create a leadership position to oversee Engineering Divisions (City Engineer) New full-time Maintenance Worker position for Parks Division New Maintenance Supervisor for Facility/Fleet Division
New permanent part-time Maintenance Worker position(s)
Additional clerical support
Organizational Assessment - Parks and Recreation Department Municipal Resources Group (MRG) was hired to perform an assessment of the Parks and Recrea-on Department. Their work is all-encompassing and includes one-on-one interviews, group interviews and mentoring and leadership developments.
The assessment focusses on the following positions and how their job classifications are utilized:
Recreation Manager
Administrative Technician
Recreation Supervisor
Recreation Coordinator
Program Coordinator
Key finding includes:
Organiza-onal Structure: Consider adding two Recrea-on Supervisor posi-ons to supervise the Recreation Coordinators and other recreation program positions.
Recrea-on Manager: The posi-on is classified correctly; however, the class specifica-on should be updated.
Administra-ve Technician: The posi-on is classified correctly, and no changes to the class specification are recommended.
Recrea-on Supervisor: Revise the class specifica-on to: (1) iden-fy the classifica-on as a full supervisor over permanent, full--me staff; (2) iden-fy it as an FLSA-exempt management classifica-on; and (3) update the minimum qualifica-ons and other sec-ons, especially pertaining to supervisory functions.
Recrea-on Coordinator: Revise the class specifica-on to clearly differen-ate it from Recreation Supervisor.
Program Coordinator: Establish a new Recrea-on Specialist classifica-on and reclassify the Program Coordinators in the Parks and Recrea-on Department to Recrea-on Specialist. Keep the Program Coordinator classification to be used in other departments.
MRG's assessment provides a roadmap for some changes - other changes are proposed independently by the City Manager. The following changes are underway, but will require Council 120
approval prior to becoming effective:
Revise the Recrea-on Coordinator class specifica-on to clearly differen-ate it from Recreation Supervisor.
Revise the Recrea-on Supervisor class specifica-on to a FLSA-exempt management classification.
Update the Recreation Manager class specification.
Professional development work focusing specifically on enhancing team dynamics and maximizing strengths and talents remains ongoing; topics include:
Strategic program planning and development
Recreation career and leadership strategy
Team development and communication
Goal setting and implementation
Increasing the use of the community centers, the pool, and community-wide program planning
Managing program and event planning and implementation
Enhancing budget and funding practices
Supporting current projects
Time management
No addi-onal full--me staff posi-ons are proposed as part of the FY 24/25 Budget, but others are under consideration for the future.
Organizational Assessment - Police Department
Chief Greenberg con-nues to assess the needs of American Canyon Police Department (ACPD) con-nues to provide a high level of service to the community. Council previously approved supervisory positions of Lieutenant and Sergeant, in preparation to add future additional officers.
Currently, ACPD consists of 26 sworn officers, including 1 Chief, 1 Lieutenant, 5 Sergeants, and 19 officers. But as American Canyon grows, additional law enforcement staffing is needed.
Of the current 19 officers, one (1) officer is assigned as the full--me community resource officer (CRO), two (2) are assigned as full--me traffic enforcement and vehicle collision inves-gators, and two (2) are assigned as School Resource Officers (SRO’s) at the high school and middle school respectively.
By January 2027, the recommenda-on is to increase total sworn staffing to 30 officers. The recommenda-on is par-ally based on sizing the ACPD for popula-on growth (1.1 officer per 1000), assumed increases in vehicle traffic, and responding to the community's desire to con-nue the high level of service, including above average crime clearance rates. The addi-onal four (4) officers would be:
(1) community outreach officer
121
(1) traffic enforcement officer
(2) additional patrol officers
The addi-onal community outreach officer will augment the exis-ng CRO's high level of communityoriented policing, community outreach, and participate in special events.
The addi-onal traffic enforcement officer will join the two (2) exis-ng motor officers in providing high level of traffic enforcement and traffic collision inves-ga-on. Having more visible traffic enforcement officers should reduce bad driving behavior and traffic collisions.
The addi-onal patrol officers will support the inevitable increase in calls for service as American Canyon's popula-ons grows. Adding the addi-onal officers as proposed, will keep our response -me down, increase visible police presence helping to deter crime, and to con-nue ACPD's excep-onal crime clearance rates.
There is a separate Business Item tonight related to the contractual procedures necessary for implemen-ng the Chief's recommenda-on in conjunc-on with the Law Enforcement Services contract with Napa Sheriff's Office.
COUNCIL PRIORITY PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS
Organizational Effectiveness: "Deliver exemplary government services."
FISCAL IMPACT
Funding for the changes underway are already included in the FY 2023/24 Budget. Funding for changes in the FY 2024/25 are included in the Proposed Budget for Council review on May 21. Final adoption of the FY 2024/25 Budget is scheduled for June 4.

ITEM NUMBER: 12.
TITLE
Amend Employee Agreements to Update Certification Programs
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolu*on authorizing amendments to employee agreements to update cer*fica*on programs.
CONTACT
Maria Ojeda, Assistant City Manager
Scott Corey, Human Resources Officer II
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS
The City Council has approved Memorandums of Understanding (the "MOUs") with Teamsters Local 315, which represents both General Unit and Mid-Management Unit employees, that extend through June 30, 2027. The City Council also approved the Unrepresented Compensa*on Program for At-Will Managers, Confiden*al and Part-Time/Seasonal Employees (the "Program") with the same term.
The MOUs provide for a program by which represented employees can earn cer*fica*on pay of $50 per month for a designated cer*ficate or skill that exceeds the requirement of their job classifica*on, up to $200 per month. The ability to obtain cer*fica*on pay is available only to employees who are not in a Proba*onary designa*on, which all employees are during their first nine months of employment with the City. One of the recognized skills is the "ability to speak fluently in either Spanish or Tagalog (no more than $50 will be paid for either or both languages)." It was observed that new employees with language skills tended to naturally put them to work immediately upon hire, par*cularly when providing customer service, which appeared to be inequitable. ACer conferring with the Teamsters, it was agreed that all City employees - Proba*onary or Regular - should be eligible for the language skill-based cer*fica*on pay immediately upon hire because they use these skills immediately upon hire.
The City met and conferred with the Teamsters on this issue and the addi*on of ISA Cer*fied Arborist as a recognized cer*fica*on, and prepared the Side LeDers aDached to the Resolu*on as Exhibits A and B.
123
When considering the City's unrepresented employees, which includes At-Will Execu*ve, Confiden*al, Seasonal and Temporary employees, it was observed that incen*ves to pursue continued professional development through certification pay was not available to these employees, including any language skill-based cer*fica*on pay. For Confiden*al, Seasonal and Temporary employee this situa*on appeared to be inequitable par*cularly in light of a stated purpose of the Program being to ensure "that employees who are not represented by a union are treated at least equally to represented employees." Some exis*ng Confiden*al employees carried over the language skill-based cer*fica*on pay from represented classifica*ons they held prior to promo*on to more senior classifica*ons, and some Temporary Employees, par*cularly Office Assistants, naturally use their languages skills when providing customer service.
Amendments to the Program were prepared to add both professional and language skill-based certificate pay to covered employees as attached to the Resolution as Exhibit C.
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the following: 1) The City Manager is authorized to execute the aDached side leDers and Program update and 2) The City Council delegates to the City Manager the authority to nego*ate and execute side leDers to current MOUs and to amend the Program to implement minor modifications within approved budgetary authority.
COUNCIL PRIORITY PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS
Organizational Effectiveness: "Deliver exemplary government services."
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no immediate fiscal impact of this ac*on. The provision of any cer*fica*on pay is subject to authorized appropriations.

Unrepresented Compensation Program 7/1/2022 – 06/30/2027 1 SECTION 1: INTRODUCTION
1.1 Employee Definitions:
At-Will Management Employee – an employee who serves at the will of the City Manager and who has responsibility for formulating, administering, and/or managing City policies and programs. In the City, this would typically be department heads and their assistants/deputies.
Confidential Employee – an employee, who in the course of his or her duties, has access to confidential information relating to the City’s administration of employer-employee relations.
This access may include instances of an occasional but critical nature or due to the employee whose position requires the incumbent to provide direct administrative support to a manager who has such access.
Seasonal/Temporary Employee – an employee who is employed for a temporary duration, or to a limited, but specified period of time for training purposes. Assignments may be to specified programs that may continue from year-to-year or as part of a training program for a limited duration. Except for classes that have been identified as part of a special training/apprentice program lasting more than six months, Seasonal/Temporary employees are not eligible for City benefits.
1.2 Purpose of the Unrepresented Employee Compensation Program: For At-will Management employees, this program is adopted to promote the development of a stronger, more effective Management Team, not merely for purposes of employer-employee relations but also as a means of recognizing outstanding management performance in all public service areas. These general purposes may be achieved through several means, notably: training, more effective communication among departments, clear identification of goals and objectives, and by relating effective job performance to an incentive program. Also inherent in such a program is the means of retaining good department heads and strengthening the managers (if any) whose effectiveness and performances fall short of reasonable levels of expectation.
For Confidential and Seasonal/Temporary employees, this program recognizes and rewards performance and ensures that employees who are not represented by a union are treated at least equally to represented employees. Because of the nature of their jobs, these employees serve the City without any representation and should not suffer as a consequence.
1.3 Employees Covered: Employees covered under this program shall include the following:
A. At-Will Management/FLSA Exempt
▪ City Manager
▪ Assistant City Manager

Additional job classes may be added to the Unrepresented Program from time to time, based upon the creation of additional City departments/divisions, the addition of new positions, or by the reclassification of existing positions to either At-will Management, Confidential, or Seasonal/Temporary based upon the nature of the work.
1.4 Exempt Status of Employees Covered: Based upon the nature of the work, it is expressly understood that the At-will Management employees covered under this program are exempt from the overtime provisions of the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act. Other positions within Confidential and Seasonal/Temporary employee groups are evaluated for FLSA coverage on a position-by-position basis.

Where there are conflicting terms and conditions between this program and an employment contract, the greater benefit shall apply.

3.3 Merit Adjustments: Typically, merit adjustments may be made by the City Manager upon recommendation of the direct supervisor and department head according to established City policy based on the employee’s performance. Performance reviews with the potential for merit increases will occur no less frequently than annually on an employee’s anniversary date.
Additional merit increases may be approved by the City Manager for documented exceptional performance.
3.4 Longevity: Employees covered by this Program who are covered by the Fair Labor Standards Act (non-exempt FLSA) and, therefore, receive compensation for overtime hours worked shall receive longevity pay in the following increments:

Unrepresented Compensation Program 7/1/2022 – 06/30/2027 5
3.53.6 Recruitment/Retention Adjustments: On occasion, situations may occur when adjustments may be necessary to At-will salary ranges for documented recruitment or retention problems. The City Manager is authorized to adjust the salary range of an At-will management position up to 10% without Council approval if one of the following conditions is met:
Recruitment Problem – If the City makes an extensive effort to recruit qualified candidates including outreach, advertising, and procuring the services of an executive recruiter and that recruitment is not successful based upon the City’s compensation package, then the City Manager can authorize an adjustment to the salary to attract qualified candidates.
Retention Problem – In rare cases, it may be necessary for the City to increase an At-will manager’s pay for retention purposes. This would require that the manager have a bona fide offer, in writing, from another organization with a significant increase in pay.
3.6 Confidential Pay Differential: Each Unrepresented Confidential employee will receive a 3% pay differential to be added to the employee’s base pay. This 3% pay differential will not be added to the salary range for that job class. If at any time that a currently designated Unrepresented Confidential employee who receives the confidential differential is deemed to be Non-Confidential, the 3% confidential differential will cease at that time.
3.7 Application of Compensation Plan: Annual performance evaluations will be completed and salary adjustments implemented within sixty (60) days after the employee’s anniversary date. If a person’s anniversary date falls within the first week of a pay period, any increases will then be effective at the beginning of that pay period; if a person’s anniversary date fall within the second week of a pay period, any increases will then be effective the pay period following the employee’s anniversary date.
Failure to complete a performance evaluation within sixty (60) days after the employee’s anniversary date shall move said employee to the next higher pay rate, and pay increase shall become effective on the employees’ anniversary date. In the case of employees that supervise others and are required to write performance evaluations, such pay adjustment will not occur until the performance evaluations of subordinates are complete.
SECTION 4: RETIREMENT BENEFITS
Section 4 does not apply to the Seasonal/Temporary employee group.
4.1. Benefits: The City shall provide the Public Employees Retirement System’s (PERS) 2%@55 formula (single highest year) Retirement Plan for “classic” Local Miscellaneous Members; 2% @ 62 formula (3-year average final compensation) for new PERS members.
Additional benefits may be added from time to time, as approved by the City Council. The City will only pay for the employer’s share of PERS. The retirement benefits shall also include Sick Leave Conversion, Single Highest Year, Pre-retirement Survivor Benefits, and Post-retirement Survivor Allowance.
135
Unrepresented Compensation Program 7/1/2022 – 06/30/2027 6
4.2 Cost Sharing: If the City’s PERS contribution rate exceeds sixteen percent (16.00%), the employee and City shall share equally such excess rate, provided, however, that the additional employee maximum contribution under this formula shall not exceed five percent (5%).
Beginning September 18, 2021, or at the beginning of a pay period as soon thereafter as practical, the employee contribution will be 5%.

SECTION 7: VACATION LEAVE
Section 7 does not apply to the Seasonal/Temporary employee group.
7.1 Policy and Intent: In recognition of the fact that many management personnel are recruited from outside the City, that the average tenure for top management personnel is substantially lower that of nonexempt personnel, and that at least two (2) to seven (7) years’ prior experience is required, the following vacation leave policy for At-will Management shall be implemented.
7.2 Vacation Entitlement: At-will Management and Confidential employees shall accumulate vacation in accordance with the following vacation entitlement schedule:
Years of Vacation Days
Continuous Service Earned/Year
0 – 2 years 12
3 through 5 years 15
6 through 10 years 20
11 or more years 25
7.3 Vacation Accrual: At-will Management and Confidential employees shall begin earning vacation upon the first day of employment. Vacation leave time shall be accrued as it is earned; odd fractions rounded to the nearest tenth. Vacation time shall not be taken until earned and shall be subject to other provisions of this resolution. When an employee is on a leave without pay status, s/he shall not be entitled to earn vacation.
For purposes of calculating vacation earned upon termination, the employee’s final accrual will be prorated, based on the days worked in the employee’s last month of employment. Upon termination of an employee’s service with the City, s/he shall be paid a lump sum for all earned vacation not taken, at the employee’s hourly rate then in effect.
7.4 Vacation Usage: An employee may take vacation at a time approved by the City Manager, or, in the case of the City Manager, after notification of the City Council. It is the policy of the City that employees take their normal provided vacation leave each year; however, with the approval of the City Manager, an employee may take less than a normal vacation in one year and carry the balance of his/her earned time over to the next year. 140
Unrepresented Compensation Program 7/1/2022 – 06/30/2027 11 Earned vacation may be accumulated up to a maximum of three hundred and twenty (320). All employees with excess vacation hours as of the last day of the pay period containing June 30 will have their vacation accruals adjusted down to the 320 hours accrual cap.
This section and the corresponding vacation accrual caps will also apply to permanent part-time employees on a prorated basis based on their regularly scheduled hours in a work week. For example, a permanent part-time employee who works 20 hours/week will have a vacation accrual cap of one hundred and sixty (160) hours – one-half the three hundred and twenty (320) hours cap applicable to full-time employees.
7.5 Sale of Vacation Leave Hours: At Will Managers and Confidential employees may cash out up to forty (40) hours of accrued but unused vacation time at the employee’s straight time hourly rate.
Qualifying employees must file an irrevocable election identifying the specific amount of vacation he or she wishes to cash out during the month of December. Vacation will be paid in the first paycheck in the month of January in the year following the irrevocable election.
SECTION 8: MANAGEMENT LEAVE
In recognition of the extra hours required to perform at the level of top At-will management, including attendance at numerous meetings outside normal working hours and the fact that employees who are exempt from FLSA are not compensated for overtime work, the following management leave policy shall be implemented:
Each FLSA-exempt, unrepresented employee may receive up to fifteen (15) days Management Leave annually at the discretion of the City Manager. Employees of this group will be able to accumulate a maximum of twenty (20) days of Management Leave in one fiscal year. On July 1 of each year, all hours in excess of 160 will be lost unless an extension of time is granted by the City Manager, who will grant such extensions in limited and extenuating circumstances. It is the responsibility of all employees receiving Management Leave to take their leave in a timely manner. However, upon separation from the City any remaining leave shall be paid to the employee at employee’s then-current hourly rate.
At-Will Managers and exempt Confidential employees may elect to cash out up to sixty (60) hours of accrued but unused Management Leave each year at the employee’s straight time hourly rate. Qualifying employees must file an irrevocable election identifying the specific amount of vacation he or she wishes to cash out during the month of December. Vacation will be paid in the first paycheck in the month of January in the year following the irrevocable election.

ITEM NUMBER: 13.
TITLE
Fiscal Year 2024/2025 Salary Schedule
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution Approving the Fiscal Year 2024/2025 Salary Schedule.
CONTACT
Maria Ojeda, Assistant City Manager
Scott Corey, Human Resources Officer II
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS
The City Council approves all employee salaries, classifica4on 4tles and changes. The California Government Code requires pay rates for employees be established pursuant to a “publicly available” salary schedule that includes certain informa4on, such as posi4on 4tle and pay range. To sa4sfy this requirement, it is necessary for the Council to adopt a Resolu4on approving the Fiscal Year 2024/2025 Salary Schedule (the "Schedule") consistent with funding appropriated by the adoption of the Fiscal Year 2024/2025 budget (the "Budget") on June 4, 2024.
The new Schedule reflects changes to employees’ salaries based on the current Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) with the two employee bargaining units, and the Unrepresented Compensa4on Program (Unrepresented Program). Each of these documents provide for a minimum 2% and maximum 5% cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) for Fiscal Year 2024/2025 based on the Consumer Price Index as reported by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Sta4s4cs for the month of April 2024.
The Schedule includes a 3.8% COLA for classifica4ons in the bargaining units and/or covered by the Unrepresented Program, and for those Temporary classifica4ons indexed to similar Regular classifica4ons. The City Manager's salary is increased 3.8%, per the terms and condi4ons of the current Employment Agreement.
The City completed organiza4onal assessments for Public Works, Maintenance and U4li4es, Parks and Recrea4on, and Human Resources. The proposed Schedule amends the compensa4on plan to add or update job classifica4ons consistent with approved improvements to the City’s opera4ons and organiza4onal structure, including Assistant Director of Public Works, Chief Plant Operator, Deputy City Clerk-CDD, Human Resources Analyst I/II, Human Resources Manager, Human Resources Technician, Management Analyst I/II (Represented) and Recreation Specialist. 146
The City also City completed a Total Compensa4on Survey for execu4ve classifica4ons consistent with the “Performance Management Guidelines, Policies and Procedures for At-Will Managers." The City conducts these studies to ensure it remains compe44ve in the marketplace to aGract and retain highly qualified execu4ve leadership. The proposed Schedule updates the salary ranges for At-Will managers consistent with the survey.
The new salaries will go into effect the first full pay period following July 1, 2024.
Pursuant to California Government Code sec4on 54953(c)(3), the ac4on recommended in this report would cons4tute a final ac4on on the salary or salary schedule of one or more local agency executive, which shall be orally reported prior to a Council vote.
COUNCIL PRIORITY PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS
Organizational Effectiveness: "Deliver exemplary government services."
FISCAL IMPACT
Funding for these increases is included in the City's Adopted Fiscal Year 2024/2025 Budget.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
15378(b) - The ac4on is not a "Project" subject to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") because it does not qualify as a "Project" under Public Resources Code Sec4ons 21065 and 21080 and in Section 15378(b) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations.
