Date: April 7, 2026

I SUBJECT
Update Section 5.04.260 of Municipal Code- License-Tax-Payment

I RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Ordinance No. 874 (second reading), Amending Section 5.04.260 to the Anderson Municipal Code regulating Business License - General Provisions as introduced (first reading) on March 17, 2026 (first reading)

I FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact for the recommended updates to the municipal code.

I DISCUSSION and BACKGROUND
At the January 20, 2026, Council unanimously approved a budget amendment and authorization to proceed with a new business license software, as our current system is over two decades old. As part of the planned update to the City's business license software, the system will allow for greater flexibility in establishing license renewal dates and allow the city to eliminate the current requirement that all licenses expire on June 30.

ITEM 6.6a PAGE1 4/7/2026
23 Under the existing system, new business licenses issued after July are prorated based on the number of months remaining in the fiscal year. With the proposed update, licenses will instead renew annually based on the original issuance month. Subsequent renewals will occur each year during that same month. Below is the current language in the Anderson Municipal Code, with the proposed changes.

Current:

5.04.260 - License - Tax- Payment
A. Unless otherwise specifically provided, all annual license taxes, under the provisions of Chapter~ 5.04. et al, shall be due and payable in advance on the first day of July of each year; provided that license taxes covering new operations commenced after the first day of July may be prorated for the balance of the license period.

Amended:

5.04.260 - License - Tax - Payment
A. Unless otherwise specifically provided, all annual license taxes, under the provisions of Chapters 5, 04. et al, shall be due and payable in advance on the first day of the month, one year from the month of purchase.

This proposed change is expected to improve administrative efficiency by distributing license renewals throughout the calendar year rather than concentrating them around the July 1 renewal period. As a result, staff will be able to process renewals more effectively, and businesses should experience timelier issuance of their renewed licenses.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ANDERSON AMENDING SECTION 5.04.260 OF THE ANDERSON MUNICIPAL CODE REGARDING BUSINESS

LICENSE RENEWAL
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ANDERSON does hereby find, determine, and declare as follows:

WHEREAS, the Anderson Municipal Code sets forth a process for acquiring and renewing a business license for operation of a business within the City limits; and WHEREAS, the City Council seeks to amend Section 5.04.260 of the Anderson Municipal Code to change the business license renewal date from July 1 to the one year anniversary of the purchase of th~ business license, which will enable all businesses to receive the benefit of a full year for the business license purchase.

NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Anderson does ordain as follows:

SECTION 1. Section 5.04.260 ("LICENSE- TAX- PAYMENT") of Chapter 5.04 ("BUSINESS LICENSES- GENERAL PROVISIONS") of Title 5 ("BUSINESS LICENSES AND REGULATIONS") of the City of Anderson Municipal Code is hereby amended to read as follows:

5.04.260 - License-Tax-Payment.

A Unless otherwise specifically provided, all annual license taxes, under the provisions of Chapters 5.04. et al, shall be due and payable in advance on the first day of the month, one year from the month of purchase.

8. Except as otherwise provided in Chapters 5.04. et al, license taxes, other than annual, required hereunder shall be due and payable as follows:
!.Semiannual license taxes, by the appropriate rate, on the first day of January and the first day of July of each year;

4. Weekly flat-rate license taxes on Monday of each week in advance;

5. Daily flat-rate license taxes each day in advance;

6. Other flat-rate license taxes are payable in advance on the first day of business and thereafter on the first day of any applicable period.
25 SECTION 2. CEQA. This ordinance is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to the General Rule (14 C.C.R. Section 15061(b)(3)) because it can be seen with certainty that the project will have no possibility for causing a significant effect on the environment.

SECTION 3. SEVERABILITY. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase or word of this ordinance is found to be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid by any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the remaining provisions of this Ordinance.

SECTION 4. ENACTMENT. The City Clerk shall certify the adoption of this ordinance and shall cause it to be posted and/or published in accordance with the law. The ordinance will go into effect 30-days after enactment.

Through:

Honorable Mayor and Members of the Anderson City Council Joey Forseth-Deshais, City Manager
From: Cindy Wheeler, Finance Director /Treasurer
Date: April 7, 2026
!SUBJECT
Award of Bid for Audit Services for City of Anderson for years ending 2026, 2027, and 2028

I RECOMMENDATION
Finance Director/Treasurer recommends that the City Council:

Award a contract for annual audit services to CliftonLarsonAllen LLP (CLA) for Fiscal Year 2025-2026 in the amount of $68,480, Fiscal Year 2026-2027 in the amount of $69,820, and Fiscal Year 2027-2028 in the amount of $71,120, and authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement and all related documents.

I FISCAL IMPACT
While the largest portion of audit cost is a general fund expense, approximately 15% is for other funds, such as the Streets and Roads funds for the TDA portion of the audit and Successor Agency Funds.

I DISCUSSION and BACKGROUND
The City's annual independent audit provides assurance to the City Council and the public that financial operations are conducted accurately and in compliance with applicable legal ITEM 6.6b PAGE1 4/7/2026
27 and professional standards. The Pun Group, LLP (TPG) performed the City's audits for the past three fiscal years. As the contract concluded, staff issued a request for proposals to evaluate audit services, while retaining the option to extend the existing agreement. One proposal was received and evaluated based on experience with comparable municipalities, audit approach, proposal quality, independence in accordance with Government Finance Officers Association standards, and cost. CLA demonstrated extensive experience conducting audits for cities, counties, and state agencies and submitted a clear and comprehensive proposal. Although cost was considered, greater emphasis was placed on qualifications and audit approach, particularly as the proposed fees were lower than the cost of extending the contract with TPG. Following evaluation and interviews, the City Manager and Finance Director determined that CLA's proposal best meets the City's needs.

Staff anticipates that the firm's ability to meet in person and adhere to a defined audit schedule will support efficient and timely completion of audits for the next three fiscal years.

!SUBJECT
Zone Amendment (ZA) 26-01 to update Chapter 17.44 - Comprehensive Sign Ordinance

I RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Ordinance No. 873 (second reading) amending Chapters 17.44 of the Anderson Municipal Code regarding the Comprehensive Sign Ordinance and as introduced (first reading) March 17, 2026.

I FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact.

I DISCUSSION and BACKGROUND
At the October 7, 2025, Anderson City Council meeting, a member of the public asked the Council about the implementation of Title 17 - Zoning, specifically regarding Section 17.44 - Comprehensive Sign Ordinance regulations for illuminated signs and the limitation on changing copy to 24-hour intervals.

As a result of the October 7 meeting, City staff were tasked with providing the City Council information for review and discussion to address the potential for amending Anderson Municipal Code Section 17.44 - Comprehensive Sign Ordinance to amend the limitations ITEM 6.8 PAGE1 4/7/2026
29 for digital sign displays which are currently limited to update copy once in 24 hour as specified in the definitions section 17.44.030 as follows:

17.44.030- Definitions:
"Attraction board", "reader board" and "Digital Display Signs" equivalent terms which means a changeable copy.
a. "Attraction Boards or Digital Display Signs" means signs which use technologies such as LCD, LED and Projection to display content such as digital images, and information. Any displays shall display unanimated images and/ or copy. For the purpose of this section, unanimated images and/or copy shall be defined as those which are changed no more than once per twenty-four hours. b. Digital displays shall not be brighter than the illumination limit recommended by the International Sign Association (ISA) for Electronic Message Center signs, or 0.3 footcandles above ambient light when measured at the recommended distance as set forth by the ISA Digital display signs shall be equipped with a photocell, timer, or other similar device which automatically dims the display during nighttime hours 10 pm to 6 am to prevent glare impacts to motorists. "Off-premises sign" means signs which advertise any business, goods, products, or services not conducted, sold, manufactured or distributed from the premises or facilities on which the sign is located.

At the October 21, 2025, City Council meeting, the Council members received a staff report outlining digital displays in the current zoning ordinance and discussed potential remedies as updates to the current AMC Section 17.44 - Comprehensive Sign Ordinance. As a result of the discussion, Council members directed staff to address three potential options for changeable copy digital signs as follows, which would pertain to uses of property located in the Anderson Municipal Code Section 17.28 - Public/Semi-Public (P-SP) Zone district. The P-SP district allows uses permitted and uses permitted by conditional use permit that typically provide services to the general public and could provide additional information to the general public when digital messages change more frequently than once every 24 hours, as is allowed in Section 17.44.030 - Definitions for "Attraction Boards or Digital Display Signs".

At the November 04, 2025, City Council meeting, the Council members received a staff report with three options:
1) Property owners in P-SP can illuminate more frequently than 24-hours if they obtain an administrative use permit (AUP).
2) Property owners in P-SP can illuminate more frequently than 24-hours per the code. 3) Property owners in P-SP would be permitted under the code to illuminate more frequently than 24 hours, and non-P-SP owners could illuminate more often through an AUP.

The City Council chose option 2 to amend Ordinance 860, which was adopted on July 2, 2024. The City Council has requested that the definition of Attraction Boards be clarified to include a reduction in the time required to allow for changes in copy more frequently than ITEM 6.8 PAGE2 4/7/2026
30 twenty-four hours. A redlined version of the amendments has been attached as Attachment C.

The change would alter the following sections.

17.44.030 - Definitions:
"Attraction board", "reader board" and "Digital Display Signs" equivalent terms which means a changeable copy.
a. "Attraction Boards or Digital Display Signs" means signs which use technologies such as LCD, LED and Projection to display content such as digital images, and information. Any displays shall display unanimated images and/ or copy. For the purpose of this section, unanimated images and/or copy shall be defined as those which are changed no more than once per twenty-four hours.

17.44.040 -General Provisions:

F. Attraction Boards. Changeable copy signs, which include LCD, LED, and Projection to display digital content, where authorized shall not require a permit to change copy.

Attraction Boards on properties located in the Public/Semi-Public zones shall be changed no more than every thirty (30) minutes. Attraction Board on properties located on any non-Public/Semi-Public zones shall be changed no more than twenty-four (24) hours. 17 .44.060 - Special Regulations:

B. 1. A. i. "Attraction board" means a changeable copy sign which use technologies such as LCD, LED, and Projection to display content such as digital images, and information. Any displays shall display unanimated images and/ or copy.

At the January 26, 2026, Planning Commission meeting, the Planning Commission unanimously approved PC Resolution 26-01, recommending the proposed changes to the City of Anderson City Council for a first reading.

Environmental Determination:

The City of Anderson finds that this Ordinance is not a ''project" according to the definition outlined in the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA"), and, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines sections 15060(c)(2) (the activity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment) and 15061(b)(3) (there is no possibility the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment), the adoption of this ordinance is therefore not subject to the provisions requiring environmental review.

PUBLIC NOTICE:

A 20-day public hearing notice of the subject project was published in the RecordSearchlight and in accordance with notice requirements provided in AMC Section

17.54.040 - Zoning Amendments and Government Code Section 65854, requiring a 20-day hearing. The Planning Department received no public comments on the project at the time of this report.

Jo
To:

From:

Honorable Mayor and Members o the Anderson City Council Joey Forseth-Deshais, City Manager
Date: April 7, 2026

I SUBJECT
Adoption of a Master Fee Schedule

I RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council:

1. Receive a staff report;

2. Open the public hearing, and receive public comments;

3. Close the public hearing

4. Adopt a resolution establishing the master fee schedule effective July 1, 2026

I FISCAL IMPACT
The proposed fee increase will support improved cost recovery for services provided by the City, generating additional revenue beginning in Fiscal Year 2026- 27. The fees will not be implemented until July 1, 2026, and due to variability in activity, the full impact of adjusted revenues will be more accurately projected in the subsequent budget cycle for Fiscal Years 2027-28 and 2028-29.

I DISCUSSION and BACKGROUND
The City of Anderson has experienced increasing costs associated with providing municipal services, including permit processing, development review, recreation programming, and administrative services. Many of the City's fees have not been comprehensively updated in several years and do not fully recover the cost of providing services. To address this issue, on April 15, 2025, the City Council retained Revenue & Cost Specialists LLC (RCS) to ITEM 7.0 PAGE1 4/7/2026
49 conduct a cost allocation plan and citywide fee study. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the full cost of providing services, identify cost recovery levels, and recommend updated fees consistent with California law and the "costs reasonably borne" standard.

RCS worked closely with City staff over several months to analyze all service areas, including Building, Engineering, Planning, Public Safety, Recreation, and Administrative services. The study includes the calculation of fully burdened hourly rates and allocates both direct and indirect costs to ensure fees reflect the true cost of service delivery. This comprehensive methodology establishes a clear nexus between the fees charged and the services provided, demonstrating that the amounts charged do not exceed the costs reasonably borne by the City in delivering those services, consistent with Articles XIIIB and XIIIC of the California Constitution.

On February 3, 2026, the City Council received the initial presentation of the Cost of Service Fee Study. This presentation provided an overview of the methodology, key findings, and proposed fee adjustments. The Council had the opportunity to ask questions and provide preliminary feedback.

On March 3, 2026, the City Council conducted a workshop with RCS and City staff to further review the proposed fee schedule. During this workshop, the Council provided direction and requested modifications based on a majority consensus. These modifications have been incorporated into the proposed Master Fee Schedule and included clarifying language that deposits associated with facility rentals and development services are typically refundable and also adding an alternative fee option for the Community Room rental that excludes use of the kitchen, providing a lower-cost option for users.

The updated Master Fee Schedule reflects these Council-directed changes while maintaining the integrity of the cost-of-service analysis. The RCS study demonstrates that the City is currently subsidizing a number of fee-based services with General Fund revenues. Adoption of the updated fees will improve cost recovery, promote equity between users and taxpayers, and support the long-term financial sustainability of City services. The study further confirms that recommended fees are based on a documented and systematic methodology that ties each fee to a specific service or benefit received, thereby reinforcing the required nexus and ensuring compliance with the "costs reasonably borne" standard.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ANDERSON

ADOPTING A MASTER FEE SCHEDULE FOR COST OF SERVICE FEES WHEREAS, the City of Anderson provides a wide range of municipal services, including but not limited to planning, building, engineering, public safety, recreation, and administrative services; and
WHEREAS, the City Council desires to establish and maintain a comprehensive Master Fee Schedule to ensure that fees charged for services are fair, equitable, and reflective of the actual cost of providing those services; and
WHEREAS, the City has experienced increased costs associated with processing permits, applications, and service requests due to changes in regulations, staffing, service levels, and inflationary pressures; and
WHEREAS, the City Council authorized the retention of Revenue & Cost Specialists LLC (RCS) to conduct a comprehensive Cost of Service Fee Study to evaluate the full cost of providing City services and to recommend appropriate fees; and
WHEREAS, RCS completed its Cost of Services Study in January 2026 and presented the findings to the City Council at a workshop held on March 3, 2026, which establishes a systematic and documented methodology for determining the full cost of services, consistent with the "costs reasonably borne" standard set forth in Article XIIIB and Article XIIIC of the California Constitution; and
WHEREAS, the RCS study identifies opportunities to improve cost recovery, reduce reliance on General Fund subsidies, and promote equity between taxpayers and fee payers; and WHEREAS, the City Council has reviewed the recommendations of the RCS study and desires to adopt a Master Fee Schedule that reflects the reasonable cost of providing services, while maintaining flexibility for policy considerations where partial cost recovery is appropriate with the adoption of the cost recovery policy for Anderson Parks and Recreation programs on February 17, 2026; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the fees adopted herein do not exceed the reasonable cost of providing the services for which the fees are charged and therefore are not taxes under Article XIIIC of the California Constitution; and WHEREAS, the City Council desires to implement an annual adjustment to fees to account for inflation and avoid significant periodic increases. 51 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council as follows:

1. The City Council hereby adopts the City of Anderson Master Fee Schedule, attached hereto as Exhibit "A" and incorporated herein by this reference. The fees set forth therein shall apply to all applicable City services, permits, applications, and activities effective July 1, 2026.

2. The fees adopted by this Resolution are based upon the Cost of Services Study prepared by Revenue & Cost Specialists LLC and are intended to recover the reasonable costs of providing services, including direct and indirect costs, overhead, and administrative expenses, as permitted by law.

3. The City recognizes the importance of increasing fees annually for inflation based upon the Consumer Price Index - All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) for the West Region, calculated by the annual average change from the prior year as published by the U.S.

Bureau of Labor Statistics. These fees will be reviewed annually and any recommended adjustments based on CPI increases will be brought before the City Council for consideration and adoption.

PASSED AND ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of Anderson on this 7th day of April, 2026 by the following vote:

Probationary employees shall not be entitled to process grievances with respect to matters of discharge, demotion, or discipline. This shall not prevent a probationary employee from enforcing any other rights under this Memorandum of Understanding.

Grievant, as used herein, is defined as an employee or group of employees of the City or the Association.
5 81

7.2 Step One: The initial step in the adjustment of a grievance shall be a discussion between the grievant or the grievant's representative and the Chief of Police or designee, who will answer within ten (10) days. This step shall be started within thirty (30) days of the date of the action complained of or the date the grievant became aware of the incident, which is the basis for the grievance. This step may be taken during the working hours of the grievant.

7.3 Step Two: If a grievance is not resolved in the first step, the second step shall be the presentation of the grievance in writing by either the grievant or the grievant's representative to the Assistant City Manager, who shall answer, in writing, within twenty (20) calendar days. The second step shall be taken within ten (10) calendar days of the date of the answer in Step One. The written presentation shall be a clear, concise statement of the grievance, the circumstances involved, the pertinent dates, the decision rendered at the previous step, the section of this Memorandum of Understanding alleged to be violated, and the specific remedy sought.

7.4 Step Three: If a grievance is not resolved in the second step, the third step shall be the presentation of the grievance, in writing, by either the grievant or the grievant's representative to the City Manager, who shall answer, in writing, within twenty (20) calendar days. The third step shall be taken within ten (10) calendar days of the date of the answer in Step Two. The written presentation shall be a clear, concise statement of the grievance, the circumstances involved, the pertinent dates, the decision rendered at the previous step, the section of this Memorandum of Understanding alleged to be violated, and the specific remedy sought.

7.5 Step Four: If a grievance is not resolved in the third step, the fourth step shall be referral by the Association to mediation (if mediation is mutually agreed to by the City and the Association) within twenty (20) calendar days of the answer in Step Three.

Whenever a grievance is referred to mediation, either party may request that the California State Mediation and Conciliation Service refer a state mediator. The state mediator shall assist the parties in the resolution of the grievance in the same manner as that which is normally used in the mediation of interest disputes. Referral to Step Five shall not occur until a mediator has released the parties from the mediation process. If mediation is not mutually agreed to by the City and the Association, the Association may refer the grievance to Step Five within 20 days of the denial of mediation by the City or the Association.

7.6(a) Step Five: If a grievance is not resolved in the fourth step, the fifth step shall be referral by the Association to arbitration. The fifth step shall be taken within twenty (20) days of the date of the answer in Step Four.
7 .6(b) An arbitrator shall be appointed on each occasion that a grievance is submitted to arbitration. In the event that the City and Association are unable to agree on the selection of an arbitrator, they shall request the State of California Mediation and 6 82
Conciliation Service to nominate five (5) persons to be the arbitrator. The City and Association each will alternately challenge two (2) of such nominees, the party having the first challenge to be determined by lot. The remaining nominee shall be accepted as the arbitrator, and his compensation and expenses shall be borne equally by the City and Association. The City and the Association shall pay the compensation and expenses of their respective appointees and witnesses. At Association's request, the City shall release from duty to participate in arbitration proceedings employees necessary to the adjudication process. Expense items such as court reporters, transcripts, or room rent shall be borne equally by the parties.

7.6( c) The arbitrator shall hold such hearings and shall consider such evidence as to the arbitrator appears necessary and proper. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on the City, Association, and the aggrieved employee, provided, however, that such decision shall not in any way add to, disregard or modify any of the provisions of this Memorandum of Understanding.

7.6(d) Grievances referred to arbitration that are appeals of disciplinary suspensions of five days or less or disciplinary action with an equivalent dollar value, shall be subject to expedited arbitration, with no court reporters, and an immediate bench decision made by the arbitrator.

7.7 Failure by the grievant or the Association to meet any of the aforementioned time limits will result in forfeiture of the grievance. Except, however, that the aforementioned time limits may be extended by mutual agreement. Failure by the City or its representative to meet any of the aforementioned time limits will allow the grievant or the Association, as applicable, to proceed to the next step of the grievance procedure.

7.8 Any employee may present grievances in accordance with this Article without the intervention of the Association, so long as the adjustment is reached prior to arbitration and is not inconsistent with the terms and conditions of this Memorandum of Understanding and further provided that the City shall not agree to a resolution of the grievance until the Association has received a copy of the grievance and the proposed resolution and has been given the opportunity to file a response.

7.9 A grievant shall in no way interfere with the right of the City to proceed in carrying out its management responsibilities subject to a final decision on the grievance. In the event, the grievance involves an order, requirement, or other directive, the grievant shall fulfill or carry out such order, requirements or directives, pending the final decision of the grievance.

7.10 All documents resulting from the processing of a grievance shall be kept in a separate grievance file and shall not be placed in an employee's personnel file. 7 83

12.1 Each employee shall report for work at a regularly established headquarters and shall return thereto at the conclusion of the day's work, except as otherwise directed by the employee's immediate supervisor. Time spent in traveling between an employee's headquarters and the work site shall be considered as time worked.

12.2(a) For those employees assigned to non-shift duty, the work week is defined to consist of seven (7) consecutive calendar days, Saturday through Friday, and a basic work week is defined to consist of five (5) consecutive workdays of eight (8) hours each, or four (4) consecutive workdays often (10) hours each. Non-shift employees shall observe Council approved holidays.

12.2(b) For those employees who are assigned to a twelve-hour shift work schedule, the regular biweekly shift schedule shall consist of one eight (8) hour shift and six twelve (12) hour shifts with a meal break. Twelve-hour shift work hours are: Day Shift- 0600 hours to 1800 hours and Grave Shift - 1800 hours to 0600 hours. With the exception of shift rotations, the biweekly work schedule for shift employees shall normally consist of four consecutive workdays and three consecutive non-work days followed by three consecutive workdays and four consecutive non-work days. Shift employees' workweek may begin on any day of the week or any shift of the day. The foregoing work hours, workdays, and work schedules may, however, be modified from time to time by the Chief of Police as he determines necessary by the needs of the service. Prior to each four (4) month period beginning with the first day of a pay period closest to January 1, May 1, and September 1 each year, the City shall post the shift schedule for each position. Employees shall then indicate their preference for a work schedule. Insofar as is practicable and consistent with the needs of the service, the City shall assign work days and work hours, giving first consideration to employees' preferences in the order of employee's seniority in rank. 12 88

Except as otherwise approved by the Chief of Police, employees will be prohibited from remaining on the same shift for more than two (2) consecutive four ( 4) month periods. Employees shall not work more than sixteen (16) consecutive hours in a twenty-four-hour period unless directed by the Chief of Police.

An employee who works more than eight hours on the one scheduled eight-hour work shift shall accrue overtime after eight hours worked. It is the intent of the parties not to permit the twelve-hour shift schedule to cause regularly scheduled overtime to occur due to Federal Fair Labor Standards Act provisions. As such, the "work period" for the twelve- hour shift work schedule under the Act shall be a fourteen-day work period beginning and ending on Saturdays at 0600 hours.

12.4 Compensation for overtime work shall be paid at a rate equivalent to one and one-half (1-1/2) times the employee's regular rate of pay or at the employee's option, providing it is legally permissible, the employee may elect to receive time off with pay at the rate of one and one-half (1-1/2) hours off for each overtime hour worked.

If an employee who is called out for such work outside of the employee's regular hours on a workday continues to work into their regular work hours, the employee shall be paid overtime compensation only for the actual overtime worked. If an employee performs overtime work immediately following the end of the employee's regular shift, the employee shall be paid overtime compensation only for the actual overtime worked. Planned and scheduled overtime events do not qualify for call back pay with the exception of court.

Court Cancellation: An employee shall receive a minimum of 3 hours of straight-time pay compensation if court appearance is canceled within 48 hours of scheduled appearance. This section only applies to employees whom are not working during the court-requested appearance. Employees shall not schedule vacation or watch exchanges in order to receive compensation under this article.

Exempt employees (Captain/Lieutenant) shall not receive any compensation for overtime work, except for employees who are eligible to receive one and one-half (1 ½) times their regular pay when assigned to perform service on a non-work day or beyond normal work hours. The foregoing provision shall only apply when such service is eligible for reimbursement through the State of California, the Federal government or any other grant, regardless of the actual amount reimbursed to the City, if any.

12.7(b) Whenever an employee is assigned to work graveyard shift, such employee shall be paid five percent (5%) more than the employee's basic wage rate. 90 12.8 Employees may trade work shifts with each other provided the employees involved give advance notice of their intent to the City and receive prior approval of the Chief of Police, or the Chiefs designee, and there is no overtime payment required by the City.

Denials of shift trades by the Chief shall be final and not subject to the grievance procedure set forth in Article 7.

12.9 As set forth in "Exhibit A", note 1, Canine Officers shall be required to spend onehalf (1/2) hour per day, in addition to regular hours, in the routine care and maintenance of their police dog.

Within each classification, all employees, other than regular employees, shall be laid off prior to regular employees being laid off. Regular employees shall be laid off in the reverse order of seniority in the classification with the least senior employee being laid off first.

26.l(b) A second retirement tier of 3% at age 55, and highest consecutive 36 months, through the Public Employees' Retirement System shall be effective for those employees hired after the City amends its contract with PERS for Safety employees.

All other retirement benefits remain the same as those employees covered under the first-tier formula.
27 103

26.l(c) The State of California has mandated that all new employees entering the CalPERS system for the first time shall fall under specific formulas. The formula that the State has mandated for Safety personnel for the City of Anderson is 2.7% @ 57 (PEPRA).

Employees covered by this formula shall pay 50% of the total normal cost, as determined by CalPERS. Effective the pay period following such time that the CalPERS retirement contract can be amended pursuant to Government Code section 20516(a), unit employees will pay an additional 3 % of reportable compensation towards the Cal PERS Employer Contribution to the PERS pension, in addition to the employee's contribution share, through payroll deduction on a pre-tax basis.

26.l(d) The California Public Employee's Retirement System plans with the benefit formula of 3% at age 50, 3% at age 55, and 2.7% at 57 are integrated with Social Security.

Time spent in traveling between an employee's headquarters and the work site shall be considered as time worked.

12.2(a) For those employees assigned to non-shi~ duty, the work week is defined to consist of seven (7) consecutive calendar days, Saturday through Friday. and a basic work week is defined to consist of five (5) consecutive workdays of eight (8) hours each, or four ( 4) consecutive workdays of ten (10) hours each. Non-shifi employees shall observe Council approved holidays.

12.2(b) For those employees who are assigned to a twelve-hour shift work schedule, the regular biweekly shift schedule shall consist of one eight (8) hour shift and six twelve (12) hour shi~ with a meal break. Twelve-hour shift work hours are: Day Shift - 0600 hours to 1800 hours and Grave Shift - 1800 hours to 0600 hours.

Shift employees' workweek may begin on any day of the week or any shift of the day. The foregoing work hours, workdays, and work schedules may, however, be modified from time to time by the Chief of Police as he determines necessary by the needs of the service. Prior to each four ( 4) month period beginning with the first day of a pay period closest to January 1, May 1, and September 1 each year, the City shall post the shi~ schedule for each position.

indicate their preference for a work schedule. Insofar as is practicable and consistent with the needs of the service, the City shall assign work days and work hours, giving first consideration to employees' preferences in the order of employee's seniority in rank.

Seniority in rank shall mean the senior Sergeant shall have a preference among Sergeants and so forth for additional ranks of Lieutenant and Captain. Except as otherwise approved by the Chief of Police, employees will be prohibited from remaining on the same 13 130
shift for more than two (2) consecutive four (4) month periods. Employees shall not work more than sixteen (16) consecutive hours in a twenty-four-hour period unless directed by the Ch iefof Police.

An employee who works more than eight hours on the one scheduled eight-hour work shift shall accrue overtlme after eight hours worked. It is the intent of the parties not to permit the twelve-hour shift schedule to cause regularly scheduled overtime to occur due to Federal Fair Labor Standards Act provisions. As such, the wwork period" for the twelve- hour shift work schedule under the Act shall be a fourteen-day work period beginning and ending on Saturdays at 0600 hours.

12.4 Compensation for overtime work shall be paid at a rate equivalent to one and one-half (1-1/2) times the employee's regular rate of pay or at the employee's option. providing it is legally permissible, the employee may elect to receive time off with pay at the rate of one and one-half (1-1/ 2) hours off for each overtime hour worked.

Employees whose employment with the City is terminated for any reason shall, at the time of termination, receive compensation for any unused compensatory time off previously earned.

be paid overtime compensation for the actual time worked, but in any event for not less than three (3) hour's compensation. If an employee who is called out for such work outside of the employee's regular hours on a workday continues to work into their regular work hours, the employee shall be paid overtime compensation only for the actual overtime worked. If an employee performs overtime work immediately following the end of the employee's regular shift, the employee shall be paid overtime compensation only for the actual overtime worked. Planned and scheduled overtime events do not qualify for call back pay with the exception of court,
Court Cancellation: An employee shall receive a minimum of 3 hours of straight-time pay compensation if court appearance is canceled within iat4-hours of scheduled appearance.

This section only applies to employees whom are not working during the court-requested appearance. Employees shall not schedule vacation or watch exchanges in order to receive compensation under this article.

Exempt employees (Captain/Lieutenant) shall not receive any compensation for overtime work, except for employees who are eligible to receive one and one-half (1½) times tht ir regular pay when assigned to perform service on a non-work day or beyond normal work hours.

Whenever such employee is not reliev,ng another employee. said employee shall be assigned to a shift as established by the Chief of Police. No employee will be required to function as the shift relief employee for more than eight (8) consecutive months without the employee's agreement.

ARTICLE 13
Promotion and Transfer
All promotions and transfers shall be in accordance with standards and procedures as determined by the City.

Specialty positions and promotional testing procedures will be a fair, unbiased, and comprehensive process to evaluate candidates' overall attributes from the classification and duties involved. Promotions are not based on entitlement (time in grade, educational achievements, etc.), but rather selected for character traits, merit, and performance. The Chief of Police retains the right to select the candidate most appropriate for the promotion from within the top three ranked tested positions (for a candidate pool of7 or less) or select from the top S positions (for a candidate pool of more than 7).

ARTICLE14

Within each classification, all employees, other than regular employees, shall be laid off prior to regular employees being laid off. Regular employees shall be laid off in the reverse order of seniority in the classification with the least senior employee being laid off first.

26.l(a) Retirement Plan: Regular and probationary employees hired prior to a contract amendment of the City's contract with PERS for Safety employees, are covered by a State of California Public Employee's Retirement System program integrated with Social 28 • ( Formatted: Not Highlight
{ Formatted: Not Highlight
149
Security pursuant to an existing contract with the Public Employees' Retirement System. The basic benefit formula is known as 3% at age SO(Classic). Employee pays the employee's normal nine (9) percent cost for participation in the Public Employees' Retirement System program. At the employee's expense, the military service credit buy back option provision is provided.

26.l(b) A second retirement tier of 3% at age 55, and highest consecutive 36 months, through the Public Employees' Retirement System shall be effective for those employees hired after the City amends its contract with PERS for Safety employees. Employees hired under the 3% at age 55 formula will also pay their normal nine (9) percent member contribution for participation in the Public Employees' Retirement System program. All other retirement benefits remain the same as those employees covered under the first-tier formula.
29 150

26.1 (c} The State of California has mandated that all new employees entering the CalPERS system for the first time shall fall under specific formulas. The formula that the State has mandated for Safety personnel for the City of Anderson is 2.7% @ 57 (PEPRA}.

Employees covered by this formula shall pay 50% of the total normal cost, as determined by CalPERS. Effective the pay period following such time that the CalPERS retirement contract can be amended pursuant to Government Code section 20516(a), unit employees will pay an additional 3 % of reportable compensation towards the Cal PERS Employer Contribution to the PERS pension, in addition to the employee's contribution share, through payroll deduction on a pre-tax basis. In the event that 50% of normal costs plus 3% exceeds a total of 17% member contribution to the PEPRA members, the City and APOA agree to re-open negotiations to discuss further cost sharing possibilities.

26.l(d) The California Public Employee's Retirement System plans with the benefit formula of3% at age SO, 3% at age 55, and 2.7% at 57 are integrated with Social Security.

26.1( Effective January 1, 2021, employees in the Classic or Second Retirement tier, in addition to paying their 9% member contribution, employees shall pay 3% of normal costs for a total pre-tax contribution of 12%.

26.2(a) Group Insurance: All regular and probationary employees and their dependents are eligible to participate in a group insurance benefit program consisting of medical, dental, vision, life, and disability benefits effective the first day of the month following employment. The City shall pay 93.3% of the premium cost of the benefits set forth above, and employees shall pay 6.7% of the premium cost of the benefits set forth above. The employee share shall be paid by each employee by automatic payroll withholding.

Employees and the City shall split (50/50) any future premium increases.

26.2(b) City retains the right to switch to another medical plan with the understanding that the cost will not exceed the present contractual obligation of the City of Anderson. The APMA agrees to waive any, and all meet and confer rights regarding the City's switch to another medical plan, including but not limited to plan premiums and benefits. For edification, the term contractual as used herein is referring to the cost imposed to the City under the current medical plan, which is defined as Teamsters Plan B with VSP and imposes a maximum monthly cost to the City as follows: $1,407.30, per employee, plus 50% of any prospective cost increase to the medical plan beyond the $1,407.30 per employee amount. In no event shall the City be responsible for any cost exceeding the contractual obligation.

26.2(c) Long-term Disability Insurance: All regular and probationary employees are eligible to participate in a long-term disability insurance benefits program effective the first day of the month following employment at the City's expense. Following a ninety-day elimination period, the benefits are 66-2/3 of the employee's base salary.

26.2(d) The City may, at its option, change insurance carriers, claims administrators, or make minor revisions to the benefit structure of the group insurance benefit program set forth in 26.2(a} and 26.2(b} above, providing. however, that the benefit structure 2 151
remains substantially equivalent to the current program. Prior to any such changes, however, at the Association's request the City will consider recommendations of the Association relative to alternatives.

ITEM 8.8a PAGE1 4/7/2026
165
I DISCUSSION and BACKGROUND
Kratom is a substance derived from the leaves of the plant Mitragyna speciosa, which is native to Southeast Asia. In recent years, kratom products have become increasingly available in the United States and are often marketed as dietary supplements or herbal products. These products are commonly sold in powder, capsule, pill, or beverage form and are intended for human consumption.

The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has identified kratom as a drug of concern due to its psychoactive properties. According to the DEA, kratom can produce stimulant effects at low doses and sedative effects at higher doses. Reported adverse effects include psychotic symptoms, psychological and physiological dependence, addiction, hallucinations, delusion, confusion, nausea, itching, sweating, dry mouth, constipation, increased urination, loss of appetite, weight loss, and insomnia.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has also raised significant health concerns regarding kratom use. The FDA estimates that approximately 1.7 million Americans used kratom in 2021, often to self-treat medical conditions without medical supervision. The FDA has warned that kratom is not appropriate for use as a dietary supplement and has linked kratom consumption to serious health risks, including seizures, liver toxicity, substance use disorder, and physical dependence.

Currently, the FDA has not approved any prescription or over-the-counter drug products containing kratom, including its primary chemical compounds, mitragynine and 7- hydroxymitragynine.

In October 2025, the California Department of Public Health issued guidance that businesses are not allowed to sell or manufacture products containing Kratom. However, there is no statute in state law that clearly outright bans Kratom products. Recently, several municipalities in California have imposed their own ban via municipal codes and other states have done the same.

Unlike many regulated substances, kratom products are not federally regulated in the United States, meaning they are not subject to government-mandated safety testing, manufacturing standards, ingredient verification, purity requirements, or dosage regulations. As a result, consumers may be exposed to products of unknown potency, contamination, or inconsistent composition.

In light of these concerns and in the interest of protecting the public health, safety, and welfare of residents, the proposed ordinance would prohibit the sale and distribution of kratom products within the jurisdictional boundaries of the City of Anderson.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ANDERSON ADDING CHAPTER

8.62 TO THE ANDERSON MUNICIPAL CODE PROHIBITING THE SALE AND DISTRIBUTION

OFKRATOM
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ANDERSON does hereby find, determine, and declare as follows:

WHEREAS, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration ("DEA") has stated that consumption of kratom produces both stimulant effects (in low doses) and sedative effects (in high doses) and can lead to psychotic symotoms, psychological and physiological dependence, addiction, hallucinations, delusion, confusion, nausea, itching, sweating, dry mouth, constipation, increased urination, loss of appetite, anorexia, weight loss, and insomnia, and has labeled kratom a drug of concern; and
WHEREAS, The U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") has stated that an estimated 1.7 million Americans used kratom in 2021, often to self-treat conditions without medical supervision, despite FDA warnings that kratom is not appropriate for use as a dietary supplement, and has been found to be associated with serious health risks including, but not limited to, seizures, liver toxicity, physical dependence, substance abuse disorder, and neonatal abstinence syndrome in which newborns exposed to kratom prior to birth experienced withdrawal signs such as jitteriness, irritability, and muscle stiffness, and even death; and WHEREAS, the FDA has not approved any prescription or over-the-counter drug products containing kratom or its two main chemical components, mitragynine and 7- hydroxymitragynine; and
WHEREAS, kratom products are not federally regulated in the United States and are not subject to government-mandated safety checks, resulting in a lack of oversight and accepted safety standards for use, regulation of ingredients, purity levels, and dosage; and WHEREAS, in the interest of the health, safety and welfare of the people of the City of Anderson, the City Council desires to prohibit the sale and distribution of any product containing kratom within the jurisdictional boundaries of the City.

NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Anderson does ordain as follows:

SECTION 1. Chapter 8.62 titled "PROHIBITION OF THE SALE AND DISTRIBUTION OF KRATOM" is hereby added to the Anderson Municipal Code as follows:

Chapter 8.62 - PROHIBITION OF THE SALE AND DISTRIBUTION OF KRATOM

8.62.010 Definitions.

For the purposes of this chapter, the following words and phrases shall have the meaning set forth in this section:
167
"Distribute" means to furnish, give away, exchange, transfer, deliver or supply, whether or not for monetary gain.
"Kratom product" means the leaf of the plant Mitragyna speciosa or any food product, food ingredient, dietary ingredient, dietary supplement, or beverage intended for human consumption that contains any part of the leaf of the plant Mitragyna speciosa or any extract, synthetic alkaloid, or synthetically derived compound of such plant or its leaf including, but not limited to, any powder, capsule, pill, beverage, or other edible product intended for human consumption.
"Leaf' means any or all parts of the leaf of the plant Mitragyna speciosa that contains mitragynine or 7-hydroxymitragynine; including natural or synthetically derived versions. "Sell" or "sale" means to furnish, exchange, transfer, deliver, or supply for monetary gain.

8.62.020 Sale and distribution of kratom prohibited.

It is unlawful to sell, advertise for sale, offer for sale, or distribute, directly or indirectly, any kratom product in the City.

SECTION 2. CEQA. The City Council finds the introduction and adoption of this ordinance is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) (the activity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment) and 15060(c)(3) (the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378) of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Division 6, Chapter 3, because it has no potential for resulting in physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly.

SECTION 3. SEVERABILITY. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase or word of this ordinance is found to be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid by any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the remaining provisions of this Ordinance.

SECTION 4 . ENACTMENT. The City Clerk shall certify the adoption of this ordinance and shall cause it to be posted and/or published in accordance with the law. The ordinance will go into effect 30-days after enactment.

The foregoing Ordinance was introduced at a regular meeting of the City Council of the City of Anderson held on April 7, 2026 and enacted at a regular meeting of the City Council of the City of Anderson held on April 21, 2026, by the following vote.

Ordinance adding Chapter 8.61 to the Anderson Municipal Code prohibiting the sale, distribution, and recreational use of nitrous oxide within the City of Anderson, with specified exceptions.

I RECOMMENDATION

1. Receive a Staff Report;

2. Receive Public Comment;

3. Introduce an addition to Chapter 8.61 -Prohibition of Sale, Distribution, and Use of Nitrous Oxide to the Anderson Municipal Code (first reading) and set for adoption (second reading) on April 21, 2026.

4. Direct the City Clerk to read the Ordinance by title only.

I FISCAL IMPACT
No fiscal impact.

ITEM 8.8b PAGE1 4/7/2026
169
I DISCUSSION and BACKGROUND
Nitrous oxide is an odorless and colorless gas commonly used in medical and dental settings as an anesthetic. It is also legitimately used in certain industrial and commercial applications, including as a propellant in food products. However, nitrous oxide is also commonly sold in small metal canisters, often referred to as "whippets," which are easily accessible through smoke shops, convenience stores, and online retailers.

Individuals inhale the gas from cartridges or cylinders to produce short-term euphoric effects. This practice has become more prevalent in many communities due to the relative affordability and accessibility of nitrous oxide products.

The misuse of nitrous oxide can cause serious health risks. Medical research has demonstrated that repeated inhalation can lead to significant vitamin deficiencies, neurological damage, nerve damage, paralysis, and in some cases death.

This proposed ordinance is aimed at prohibiting the sale and distribution of nitrous oxide to end users and not apply to legitimate and lawful uses of nitrous oxide. Specifically, it exempts nitrous oxide when it is contained in food products and used solely as a propellant, as well as when it is sold or distributed in a wholesale capacity. It also does not apply to nitrous oxide used for enhancing vehicle performance. Additionally, the chapter excludes medical and dental uses conducted under the supervision of a state-licensed practitioner and in compliance with applicable regulations. Finally, it does not apply to individuals using nitrous oxide pursuant to a valid prescription issued by a licensed medical provider, so long as the use is consistent with that prescription.

Within the City of Anderson, the Police Department has observed these nitrous oxide cartridges and related devices being recovered during contacts with individuals involved in criminal activity.

The proliferation of these devices in public areas, parks, and roadways has also become a growing concern.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ANDERSON ADDING CHAPTER

8.61 TO THE ANDERSON MUNICIPAL CODE PROHIBITING THE SALE, DISTRIBUTION

AND USE OF NITROUS OXIDE
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ANDERSON does hereby find, determine, and declare as follows:

WHEREAS, pursuant to its police powers, the City of Anderson has the authority to regulate matters effecting the health, safety, and welfare of its citizens; and WHEREAS, nitrous oxide is an odorless, colorless chemical that can be inhaled for legitimate purposes associated with medical or dental procedures in a clinical setting and is legitimately used for industrial purposes as a propellant for food products; and WHEREAS, nitrous oxide is also subject to recreational misuse and abuse, in part, because it is easy to purchase from retail vendors and relatively inexpensive; and WHEREAS, the recreational misuse and abuse of nitrous oxide can cause permanent vitamin deficiencies in the blood, and can cause long-term neurological effects, including paralysis and death; and
WHEREAS, the incidence of nitrous oxide recreational misuse and abuse has been on the rise in Shasta County and has been associated within criminal incidents in the past few months; and
WHEREAS, in the interest of health, safety and welfare of the City of Anderson residents and visitors, the City Council desires to prohibit the misuse and abuse of nitrous oxide by restricting the sale, distribution, and use of nitrous oxide within the jurisdictional boundaries of the City
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Anderson does ordain as follows:

SECTION 1. Chapter 8.61 titled "PROHIBITION OF SALE, DISTRIBUTION, AND USE OF NITROUS OXIDE" is hereby added to the Anderson Municipal Code as follows:

CHAPTER 8.61 PROHIBITION OF SALE, DISTRIBUTION, AND USE OF NITROUS OXIDE

8.61.010 Definitions.

"Device" means any cartridge, compressed gas cylinder, apparatus, container, or other object used to contain or dispense or administer nitrous oxide. 171
"Distribute" means to furnish, give away, exchange, transfer, deliver or supply, whether or not for monetary gain.
"Nitrous oxide" means the colorless nonflammable gas sometimes identified as N20, which is sometimes used in aerosols and sometimes used as an anesthetic, and which, when inhaled, produces loss of sensibility to pain, often preceded by exhilaration and laughter. "Sell" or "sale" means to furnish, exchange, transfer, deliver, or supply for monetary gain. "Wholesale capacity" means the sale of or distribution of nitrous oxide or devices in large/bulk quantities to retailers, resellers, or professionals, and not to an individual consumer or end user.

8.61.020 Use of Nitrous Oxide Prohibited.

It shall be unlawful to use or attempt to use nitrous oxide within the City, unless the use of the nitrous oxide is authorized by the exceptions set forth in Section 8.61.040.

8.61.030 Sale and Distribution of Nitrous Oxide Prohibited.

It shall be unlawful for any person in the City to sell, advertise for sale, offer for sale, attempt to sell, distribute, or otherwise provide to any person, directly or indirectly, nitrous oxide, any device to dispense or administer nitrous oxide, or any device that contains any quantity of nitrous oxide, unless authorized by the exceptions set forth in Section 8.61.040.

8.61.040 Exceptions to Prohibition.

This chapter shall not apply in the following circumstances:
