CT: Request to Over-hire One Assistant City Clerk Position

RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the temporary over- hire of the Assistant City Clerk position through July 9, 2026.

FI

SCAL IMPACT
The cost of the temporary over -hire will be absorbed within the existing departmental budget allocations and salary savings for Fiscal Year 2025/26 and partially in the first month of Fiscal Year 2026/27.

DIS

CUSSION
Staff has identified the need to temporarily over -hire the position of Assistant City Clerk to ensure cross training and uninterrupted delivery of essential community services. The temporary over-hire will allow sufficient time for transition , cross-training opportunities, and continuity of departmental operations following the announced retirement of the current Assistant City Clerk. This temporary overlap is necessary to allow the future Assistant City Clerk employee to receive hands on training and knowledge related to the day-to-day operations, processes, statutory responsibilities, and institutional practices of the City Clerk’s department to ensure a smooth and efficient transition.

The City Clerk Department oversees a full range of technical and functional guidance of assigned staff for the completion of day-to-day functions and provides information to the public, City staff, and City officials related to function, policies, and procedures of the City Clerk’s department. W ithout this short -term over -hire, several day-to-day operation s could experience delays or service interruptions, negatively impacting the community.

Approving the over -hire will allow the City to maintain operational stability and fulfill ongoing City Clerk departmental requirements and reporting commitments. In addition, the overlap period will help preserve institutional knowledge and minimize disruptions AEC

associated with the transition of critical duties and responsibilities. Not approving this request would result in significant impacts to service delivery, including operational inefficiencies, loss of institutional knowledge, and potential setbacks in cross - departmental coordination efforts. The over-hire request is essential to support continuity in leadership and sustain operational continuity and legal compliance and services during the staffing transitions occurring in the City Clerk’s department.

There is no fiscal impact associated with the revision to the Code Enforcement Manager class specification.

DISCUSSION
The Community and Economic Development Department is proposing a restructuring of the Code Enforcement Division to enhance operational effectiveness and support long- term organizational needs. As part of this effort, staff recommends establishing two new job classifications to replace the existing Code Enforcement Officer and Code Enforcement Officer w/Certificate classifications.

The proposed restructuring mirrors the current structure of the Building Division by creating a Code Enforcement Officer I/II series and a Senior Code Enforcement Officer classification. The existing Code Enforcement Officer classifications will be replaced with the flexibly staffed Code Enforcement Officer I/II classification. Additionally, the Senior Code Enforcement Officer classification is being created to establish a clear career pathway that supports employee development, succession planning, and retention.

The Senior Code Enforcement Officer will provide an additional level of oversight within the Division and support the Code Enforcement Manager. This position will perform complex assignments requiring advanced knowledge of code enforcement practices and procedures. Key responsibilities include training staff; assisting in the development and implementation of division goals and objectives; and reviewing the work of assigned employees and consultants for accuracy, proper methods, and compliance with applicable standards, while ensuring adherence to safe work practices.

This role will also oversee specialized, citywide matters such as commercial property enforcement, vendor regulation, and complex cases requiring multi-agency coordination.

Additionally, the position will assist in developing policies and procedures, monit oring performance standards, and resolving complex code enforcement issues. Through experienced leadership, this role will help ensure consistent and accurate inspections, supporting compliance with applicable codes and enhancing public safety.

The Code Enforcement Officer II will serve as the journey-level classification and perform the full range of duties with a higher degree of independence, judgment, and technical expertise. This includes managing complex and sensitive cases, interpreting and applying applicable codes and regulations, and exercising sound decision- making with minimal supervision. This level requires advanced knowledge of code enforcement principles and relevant municipal, state, and federal regulations, as well as attainment and maintenance of specialized certifications.

Establishing the flexibly staffed Code Enforcement Officer I/II classification will expand the number of staff capable of operating independently, improving operational efficiency, workload distribution, and consistency in enforcement practices. It will also strengthen proactive code enforcement efforts and enhance com munity engagement through education and guidance to residents, property owners, and businesses.

Additionally, staff is recommending revising the Code Enforcement Manager class specification regarding the PC 832 certificate requirement. The current specification Antioch City Council Report
May 12, 2026 Agenda Item #I 3
requires possession of a “valid, current P.C. 832 certificate.” Upon further review, it was determined that the terms “valid” and “current” are typically applicable to sworn peace officers, as maintaining an active status generally requires continued servi ce in a sworn capacity.

Because the Code Enforcement Manager is a non-sworn classification, staff recommends revising the requirement to simply require possession of a PC 832 certificate, removing the “valid and current” designation to better reflect the operational needs of the position.

Given current labor market conditions and the need to remain competitive with surrounding jurisdictions, the addition of these classifications is expected to significantly benefit the Division. These changes will improve the City’s ability to attract and r etain qualified candidates, support employee development and long- term retention, and reinforce a culture of continuous learning and advancement. Increasing the number of highly skilled staff will also enhance overall service delivery and provide greater benefit to the community.

The City has satisfied its obligation to meet and confer with the applicable bargaining unit regarding the proposed changes.

Upon a breach or threatened breach, any non-defaulting Party may pursue injunctive or other equitable relief and/or damages.

Jim Thor 02/26/26
Addendum to application for Parks and Rec Commission

It is that time in my life for me to start contributing to the community as my father did, in a different city, many years ago. I am applying for 3 open positions, so this document will be filed for each, with slight differences specific to the opening.

I have attached my resume, but although it doesn’t speak to community service, as an IT security professional, I have a long life of experience that I feel can help benefit the city and residents of Antioch. I have held leadership positions and managed large groups, mentored many and have been a technical instructor for over a decade. My analytical skill sets are exceptional.

We need to keep our Parks (and similar) clean and safe for our citizens, and especially the children. As a father and grandfather, I know my past experience can assist the Commission in making the decisions that are critical to assuring the residents of Antioch can enjoy the parks in a safe environment.

Feel free to contact me with additional questions.

Thank you
Jim Thor

Antioch City Council Report
May 12, 2026, Agenda Item 8

DISCUSSION
2 Utilizing contracted landscape crews provides the most cost-effective way of maintaining the City's vast landscaped areas. This landscape maintenance services agreement will provide professional landscape maintenance services at various locations based on the work described in the Request for Proposal (RFP).

The contractor is responsible for providing all labor, tools, equipment, vehicles, traffic and safety controls necessary to perform the work, as well as the agreement's required insurance. The Department of Public Works personnel will verify work is performed according to the schedule of duties provided by the contractor.

Public Works provides a higher volume and more consistent level of landscape maintenance services citywide by utilizing a landscape maintenance service contractor.

The City's landscaped areas will receive year-round landscape maintenance services.

This will allow for timely irrigation repairs to prevent water loss and conservation, scheduled weed spraying and litter removal in the City's right-of-ways. The City's improved cleanliness and landscaped aesthetics will enhance the quality of life for all its residents.

On March 4, 2026, Public Works staff published the Landscape Maintenance Services RFP and was distributed via the local newspaper, builder's exchanges, and posted on the City's website. On April 9, 2026, five (5) qualified and competitive proposal submittals were received. Public Works staff evaluated the proposals on experience and understanding, cost, and ability to meet City requirements and determined that Elite Maintenance & Tree Service was the most qualified contractor able to provide the services as described in the RFP and recommend awarding the multi-year agreement.

ECT: Resolution Establishing the Procedures for Responding to Technological Disruptions During City Council Meetings in Accordance with Senate Bill 707

RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt a Resolution establishing the procedures for r esponding to t echnological disruptions during City Council Meetings in Accordance with Senate Bill 707.

F

ISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with the adoption of the proposed policy.

DI

SCUSSION
The Council has previously received a presentation regarding the implementation of the 2025 SB 707, legislation amending the Brown Act in several significant ways. As the presentation explained, the City Council will be required to provide a two-way audiovisual platform for public participation at its meetings beginning July 1st. The Council gave direction regarding the implementation of these new requirements and city staff is currently working to ensure that the City Council chambers are prepared for compliance ions.

One outstanding requirement is the implementation of a technology disruption policy , which is required to be in place prior to the July 1st start date for Sb 707 compliance. A resolution proposing such a policy is included with this Staff Report.

Under the proposed policy, if a disruption occurs that prevents members of the public from observing the meeting remotely, the Mayor must immediately announce the issue and call a recess of the open session. During this time, the City Clerk will coordinate with Information Systems (IS) staff to diagnose and resolve the problem.

The proposed policy requires City staff to make a good- faith effort to restore remote access as quickly as possible. This includes identifying whether the issue stems from incorrect meeting links or passcodes, platform settings, capacity limits, or internet Antioch City Council Report
May 12, 2026 Agenda Item #9 2
connectivity problems, and taking appropriate corrective action. All efforts to restore service must be documented.

The meeting must remain in recess for up to one hour or until remote access is restored, whichever occurs first. If service is restored within that time, the Council will reconvene and proceed with the agenda. If service is not restored after one hour, the Council may reconvene and continue the meeting in open session, without complying with the two-way audio-visual requirements, provided it adopts a formal finding—by roll call vote—that the City made a good- faith effort to restore access and that continuin g the meeting without the two-way audio-visual access serves the public interest.

Finally, under the proposed policy, the City Clerk must document the disruption in the official meeting minutes, including the nature and timing of the issue, the steps taken to resolve it, the time the meeting reconvened, and any formal findings made by the Council.

In
sum, adoption of the proposed policy is intended to provide clarity for the handling of situations—hopefully rare, but inevitable—when technological disruptions prevent the public from participating remotely via two -way audio, visual access during City Council meetings.

RESOLUTION NO. 2026/___

RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ANTIOCH

ESTABLISHING THE PROCEDURES FOR RESPONDING TO

TECHNOLOGICAL DISRUPTIONS DURING CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS IN ACCORDANCE WITH 2025 SENATE BILL 707
WHEREAS, Senate Bill 707, enacted in 2025 (“SB 707”), amended the Ralph M. Brown Act to require the City Council to adopt a technology disruption policy in the open session of a public meeting on or before July 1, 2026; WHEREAS, in accordance with SB 707, the City Council will begin providing two-way audiovisual communication capability for members of the public to observe and provide comments during City Council meetings beginning July 1, 2026; and WHEREAS, to comply with SB 707 , the City Council desires to confirm how it will handle technological disruptions as it seeks to increase public access and provide remote participation during City Council meetings.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Antioch establishes the following Technological Disruption Policy to implement SB 707’s mandate for two-way audiovisual communications during City Council meetings and address technology disruptions that may occur:

1. Background

Senate Bill 707 (2025) amended the Brown Act to require eligible legislative bodies to adopt, on or before July 1, 2026, a policy addressing how the City of Antioch (“City”) will respond to disruptions in telephonic or internet service that prevent members of the public from attending or observing a meeting remotely.

This Technology Disruption Policy (“Policy”) is adopted to comply with that requirement.

2. Purpose

This Policy establishes procedures for responding to a disruption in the telephonic or internet services that provide two -way remote public access to meetings of the City Council of the City of Banning (“City Council”), as required by the Brown Act (Gov. C ode § 54953.4). The Policy ensures transparency, public participation, and continuity of government during technology disruptions if the City Council finds the public interest in continuing the meeting outweighs the public interest in remote public access.

3. Definitions

For purposes of this Policy:

ATTACHMENT A

a. “Disruption” means any failure, outage, or other interruption that prevents members of the public from attending or observing the meeting via these remote access services.

b. “Remote access services” means the two-way telephonic service and/or two-way audiovisual platform used to provide real -time remote public attendance and observation of meetings.

4. Applicability

This Policy applies to all open and public meetings of the City at which remote public participation is offered or required under the Brown Act.

5. Procedures in the Event of Remote-Access Disruption

a. Response to Service Disruption . If the Presiding Officer or Clerk becomes aware of a disruption to the City’s remote access services that prevents members of the public from attending or observing the meeting remotely:

(1) The Presiding Officer or Clerk shall immediately announce the disruption to the public.

(2) The Presiding Officer may then call for a recess of the open session or convene the legislative body in closed session, consistent with the Brown Act.

(3) Staff shall begin efforts to diagnose and restore the disrupted service.

(4) The meeting shall remain in recess for at least one hour or until service is restored, whichever is earlier. The recess period may be extended if restoration efforts are ongoing.

b. Efforts to Restore Service. The City shall make good faith efforts to restore remote access services, which may include:

(1) Troubleshooting platform or teleconferencing software

(2) Resetting or replacing audiovisual equipment

(3) Attempting alternative connection methods

(4) Contacting necessary support staff or service providers

(5) Switching to back-up equipment or platforms, if available

ATTACHMENT A

The Clerk shall document the restoration efforts undertaken.

6. Reconvening the Open Session

a. Timing. The open session may be reconvened after at least one hour has elapsed from the time of disruption or as soon as service is restored, whichever occurs earlier.

b. If Service Is Restored. If the remote access service is restored before or at the time the meeting reconvenes, the meeting shall continue as normal.

c. If Service Is Not Restored. If service has not been restored after one hour, the City Council may reconvene and:

(1) Adjourn the meeting; or

(2) Continue the meeting in open session by adopting, by roll call vote, the following, or a substantially similar, finding:

“The City has made good faith efforts to restore telephonic or internet service in accordance with its adopted Policy, and the public interest in continuing the meeting outweighs the public interest in remote public access.”

Upon adoption of the finding, the legislative body may continue the open session despite the fact that remote access services have not been restored.

7. Recordkeeping

The Clerk shall enter a brief statement into the meeting minutes, including the following:

• The nature and time of the disruption

• The restoration efforts undertaken

• The time the meeting was reconvened (if applicable)

• Any finding adopted pursuant to section 6.c(2)

ATTACHMENT A

8. Review and Updates

This Policy may be amended by the City Council at a noticed public meeting in open session, not on the consent calendar.

As part of its recurring 90-day project list, the City Council has directed the City Attorney’s Office to provide a summary of 2025 legislation, AB 130, 1 which significantly amended the application of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) to certain housing development projects. Although the City Council did not also request a summary of S B 131,2 this Staff Report assumes that the Council also intended for an explanation of that new law, as that bill was enacted to complement AB 130. Narrative summaries of both bills are provided below.

AB 1

30. This legislation substantially modifies the application of CEQA to certain housing development projects. The legislation is intended to expedite residential development by reducing the scope and frequency of CEQA review for qualifying projects, particularly those located in urbanized areas.

M
ost notably, AB 130 establishes a statutory CEQA exemption for qualifying infill housing projects. Under this framework, residential developments located on sites of limited acreage (generally, sites of fewer than 20 acres) and that meet certain density 1 The full text of this bill, enacted as a 2025 budget trailer, can be accessed at https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202520260AB130 2 The full text of this bill, also enacted as a 2025 budget trailer, can be accessed at https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202520260SB131 Antioch City Council Report

requirements3 may be exempt from CEQA if they meet specified criteria, including consistency with applicable planning and zoning regulations and the absence of certain environmental constraints (such as hazardous contamination or location within environmentally sensitive areas). For projects that satisfy these requirements, the City is not required to prepare an environmental impact report, negative declaration, or other CEQA document. Instead, the City’s role is limited to determining whether the project qualifies for the exemption based on objective statutory criteria.

I
n addition to creating new exemptions, AB 130 reduces the timeframe within which local agencies must act on qualifying housing applications. This effectively limits the ability of jurisdictions to delay project consideration through extended environmental review processes. As a result, the City must be prepared to evaluate eligibility for CEQA exemptions promptly and proceed with project approvals within shorter statutory timelines.

AB 1
30 also reflects a broader policy shift by narrowing the circumstances under which comprehensive environmental review is required for residential development. It promotes streamlined review processes and limits the applicability of CEQA to certain housing- related approvals, including specified rezoning actions undertaken to implement adopted housing elements.

I
mportantly, while AB 130 reduces or eliminates CEQA review for qualifying projects, it does not eliminate all environmental or regulatory considerations . Projects must still comply with applicable local zoning and development standards, and certain site-specific conditions—such as the presence of hazardous materials or other environmental risks— may disqualify a project from the exemption. Additionally, other legal requirements, including those related to tribal cultural resources and public health and safe ty, may continue to apply independent of CEQA.

I
n sum, AB 130 significantly alters the City’s obligations under CEQA by exempting a certain category of housing projects from environmental review, requiring more expedited processing of qualifying applications, and reducing local discretion to rely on CEQA as a basis for delaying or conditioning residential development.

AB 1

31. In conjunction with AB 130, the Legislature adopted S B 131 in 2025 as part of its broader effort to reform CEQA and facilitate housing development. While AB 130 primarily creates new exemptions from CEQA for qualifying projects, SB 131 focuses on streamlining and narrowing the scope of environmental review where CEQA continues to apply.

SB
131 modifies CEQA by directing that cities limit environmental analysis to those impacts that are reasonably foreseeable and directly related to the project, rather than requiring expansive or speculative analysis. This bill is intended to reduce the length and complexity of CEQA documents and to focus environmental review on impacts that are both significant and capable of mitigation.

n addition, SB 131 expands the availability of streamlined review processes for certain categories of projects, including housing and mixed-use developments. These provisions allow agencies to rely more heavily on prior environmental analyses, such as programmatic environmental impact reports, and to avoid duplicative study of issues that have already been addressed at a broader planning level. As a result, project-level CEQA review may be more limited in scope and completed more efficiently.

SB
131 also includes provisions intended to reduce procedural delays and litigation risk under CEQA. These changes include clarifications regarding the adequacy of environmental analysis, limitations on the consideration of alternative project designs that are infeasible or inconsistent with project objectives, and measures intended to expedite judicial review of CEQA challenges.

Im
portantly, SB 131 does not eliminate CEQA requirements. Rather, it refines how CEQA is implemented by local agencies. Cities must still conduct environmental review for projects that are not exempt; however, that review is expected to be more focused, less duplicative, and more closely tied to the specific impacts of the proposed project.

E
ffectively, SB 131 complements AB 130 by reshaping CEQA review for projects that remain subject to the statute. Together, both measures reduce the breadth and duration of environmental review, promote efficiency in project approvals, and further the State’s policy of accelerating housing production while maintaining core environmental protections.
