MEMORANDUM
TO: City Council
FROM: Nicole Valentine, Director of Administrative Services BY: Megan Schotborgh, Accounting Manager
SUBJECT: Statement of Investment Deposits for February 2025 DATE: April 8, 2025
RECOMMENDATION:

Receive and file the attached report listing investment deposits of the City of Arroyo Grande as of February 28, 2025, as required by Government Code Section 53646(b).

IMPACT ON FINANCIAL AND PERSONNEL RESOURCES:

There is no funding impact on the City related to these reports. However, the City does receive interest revenue based on the interest rate of the investments. Little to no future staff time is projected.

BACKGROUND:

The Administrative Services department has historically submitted to the City Council a monthly report providing the following information:

1. Type of investment.

2. Financial institution (bank, savings and loan, broker, etc.).

3. Date of maturity.

4. Principal amount.

5. Rate of interest.

6. Current market value for all securities having a maturity of more than 12 months.

7. Relationship of the monthly report to the annual statement of investment policy.

ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:

This report represents the City’s investments as of February 28, 2025, and includes all investments managed by the City. As of February 28, 2025, the investment portfolio complied with all State laws and the City’s investment policy.

Item 9.b.

City Council
Statement of Investment Deposits for February 2025
March 11, 2025

ALTERNATIVES:

The following alternatives are provided for the Council’s consideration:

1. Approve staff’s recommendation to receive and file the attached report listing the investment deposits;

2. Do not approve staff’s recommendation; or

3. Provide other direction to staff.

ADVANTAGES:

Safety of principal is the foremost objective of the City. Investments are undertaken in a manner that seeks to ensure the preservation of capital in the overall portfolio.

DISADVANTAGES:

Some level of risk is present in any investment transaction. Losses could be incurred due to market price changes, technical cash flow complications such as the need to withdraw a non-negotiable Time Certificate of Deposit early, or even the default of an issuer. To minimize such risks, diversification of the investment portfolio by institution and by investment instruments are being used as much as is practical and prudent.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:

The Statement of Investment Deposits is not a project subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) because it has no potential to result in either a direct, or reasonably foreseeable indirect, physical change in the environment. (State CEQA Guidelines, §§ 15060, subd. (c)(2)-(3), 15378).

PUBLIC NOTIFICATION AND COMMENTS:

The Agenda was posted at City Hall and on the City’s website in accordance with Government Code Section 54954.2.

MEMORANDUM
TO: City Council
FROM: Nicole Valentine, Director of Administrative Services BY: Megan Schotborgh, Accounting Manager
SUBJECT: Acceptance of the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report, Single Audit, and Audit Report for the Transportation Development Act Transportation Fund Reports
DATE: April 8, 2025
RECOMMENDATION:
1) Receive and file the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR), Single Audit, and Audit Report for the Transportation Development Act Transportation Fund for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024; and;
2) Determine that receiving and filing the ACFR, Single Audit and Audit Report for the Transportation Development Act Transportation Fund is not a project subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) because it has no potential to result in either a direct, or reasonably foreseeable indirect, physical change in the environment. (State CEQA Guidelines, §§ 15060, subd. (c)(2)-(3), 15378.) IMPACT ON FINANCIAL AND PERSONNEL RESOURCES:

Preparation of the City’s financial reports requires approximately 250 hours per year of personnel resources and auditing services costing approximately $30,735 annually.

BACKGROUND:

State law requires that every general-purpose local government publish an annual comprehensive financial report (the “ACFR”) on its financial position and activity, and that the report be audited by an independent firm of certified public accountants. The goal of the independent audit is to provide a reasonable assurance that the City’s financial statements are free of material misstatements. In addition, the auditing firm is responsible for providing an independent review of the City’s internal financial controls. The City’s financial statements, internal documents, and financial controls have been audited by the certified public accountant firm of Moss, Levy & Hartzheim, LLP for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024. The City’s ACFR is included herein as Attachment 1.

Item 9.c.

City Council
Acceptance of the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report, Single Audit, and Audit Report for the Transportation Development Act Transportation Fund Reports April 8, 2025

The Single Audit is an organization-wide audit of a non-federal entity that expends $750,000 or more in federally-awarded funds in one year. In fiscal year 2023-24, the City expended $1,639,575 in federal funds. The $1,639,575 was combined funding for the Traffic Way Bridge project and American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds. As a result, the City has completed a Single Audit for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024, which is included with this report as Attachment 2.

The Transportation Development Act (TDA) provides a state funding source for use by local jurisdictions at the county level to improve existing public transportation and to encourage regional public transportation coordination. It also provides some funding for bicycle and pedestrian projects and, when certain conditions are met, streets and roads.

The main purpose and priority of TDA, however, is to provide funding for public transportation. The Local Transportation Fund (LTF) is a local fund into which the State deposits sales tax revenue to be used for transportation purposes as defined by the TDA.

The State Department of Tax and Fee Administration, based on sales tax collected in each county, returns the general sales tax revenues to each county’s LTF. The City has completed the TDA Audit report every year and posts the reports on the City’s website.

Though not formally presented to the City Council in some prior years, this audit report contains the results of the TDA audit for the Council’s information and review as Attachment 3.

ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:

Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR)
Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) provide the criteria for judging whether a financial report is presented fairly. In defining the minimum standard of acceptable basic financial reporting for state and local governments, GAAP mandates a complete set of basic financial statements, including accompanying note disclosures, as well as the presentation of certain required supplementary information. GAAP encourages government agencies to present this information within the ACFR.

The ACFR provides a more detailed financial report beyond the basic financial statements. The ACFR is made up of three sections:
 The introductory section: provides general information on the City which includes the letter of transmittal, list of principal officials, and organizational chart.  The financial section: provides the overall financial information of the City which includes the report of the independent auditor, management’s discussion and analysis (a narrative of the City finances), the basic financial statements, required supplementary information and other supplementary schedules and statements.  The statistical section: provides a broad range of operational, economic, and historical data that provides a context for assessing the City’s economic condition.

This section provides information about the City’s general financial trends, revenue capacity, debt capacity, economic and demographic trends, and operating information.

Item 9.c.

City Council
Acceptance of the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report, Single Audit, and Audit Report for the Transportation Development Act Transportation Fund Reports April 8, 2025

The City’s external auditors at Moss, Levy & Hartzheim, LLP conducted testing of the City’s internal financial controls in July 2024, October 2024, and February 2025. The testing included reviewing the City’s procedures for receiving and disbursing cash, the accounting methodology used to record transactions, the separation of duties to avert collusion, and the City’s asset securities. As a result of this testing, there were no internal control issues/events noted by the auditors.

An audit was also conducted on the net position of the City for the financial period ending June 30, 2024. Documentation in support of the assets, liabilities, and fund balance of all the funds in the City were examined and verified. This process assures an impartial review and substantiation of the City’s net position. The result of this review is documented in the City’s ACFR. The City’s ACFR complies with newly effective Government Accounting Standards Board pronouncements, as detailed in the Notes to the Financial Statements (see Page B-46 of Attachment 1).

Auditors may issue three different types of opinions at the conclusion of an audit; an unmodified, modified, or adverse opinion. An unmodified opinion assures the reader that the information presented in the ACFR fairly represents the financial position of the City.

A modified opinion states that the information is fairly presented except for a particular issue. An adverse opinion indicates that the agency has major accounting and/or internal control issues and no reliance may be placed on the financial statements. The Administrative Services Department staff is proud to report that for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, the City of Arroyo Grande received an unmodified opinion, reflecting that the information presented in the ACFR fairly represents the financial position of the City.

As presented in the ACFR, the City’s combined net position on June 30, 2024, decreased by $4.2 million or -4.06% from $102.9 million to $98.7 million. This overall decrease is due to a decrease in governmental activities ($2.6 million) and a decrease in businesstype activities ($1.6 million). The largest portion of the City’s net position, $81 million, reflects investments in capital assets net of depreciation (e.g. land, buildings, infrastructure, and machinery & equipment). The City uses these capital assets to provide services to the public; consequently, these assets are not available for future spending.

Item 9.c.

City Council
Acceptance of the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report, Single Audit, and Audit Report for the Transportation Development Act Transportation Fund Reports April 8, 2025

The description of the City’s net position of all funds reflects all the assets and liabilities of the City. It includes the City’s investment in capital assets such as parks, bridges, and roads as well as the liabilities or obligations to pay vendors, employees, and debt service payments. The net position is the mathematical difference between assets and liabilities, but it does not necessarily reflect the economic health of an organization. In the City’s case, about 82% of the total net position reflects capital assets. While these assets are important, they cannot be used to fund the day-to-day operations of the City and, therefore, may not be the most useful measure of the City’s liquidity.

For financial reporting purposes, the half percent Measure O-2006 Local Sales Tax revenue and Other Post-Employee Benefits funds (OPEB) are combined with the General Fund in the ACFR. However, the City’s quarterly and year-end reporting is based on the General Fund exclusively and does not include the OPEB funds. The combined funds, as shown in the table below, reports total revenues of $26.4 million and expenditures of $29.2 million. As a result, there was an overall decrease to the fund balance of $2.8 million during the 2023-24 fiscal year.

Item 9.c.

City Council
Acceptance of the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report, Single Audit, and Audit Report for the Transportation Development Act Transportation Fund Reports April 8, 2025

The ACFR reports a General Fund total fund balance of $17.8 million. However, a small amount of the fund balance is considered non-spendable because it is held as inventory and lease receivable ($804,261). Additionally, $4.8 million is designated for completing capital projects or meeting other commitments in the future, including post-employment benefits. This leaves an unassigned balance of $10.7 million in the General Fund and $0.51 million in the Measure O-2006 Local Sales Tax fund. The City’s Fiscal Policy establishes the maintenance of a fund balance reserve goal of 20% of expenditures with a minimum of 15% in the General Fund. At the conclusion of Fiscal Year 2023-24, the reserve, based on available General Funds, was 42% and exceeded the City’s reserve goal. A discussion item related to expending the excess fund balance and a review of the fund balance policy will be brought to the Council at a future meeting.

Single Audit
The City’s independent auditor completed the Single Audit of federal awards for fiscal year ended June 30, 2024. The auditors opined that the City complied, in all material respects, with requirements that could have a direct and material effect on each of its major federal programs for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024. The City provided the following list of federal funding expenditures as of June 30, 2024:

City Council
Acceptance of the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report, Single Audit, and Audit Report for the Transportation Development Act Transportation Fund Reports April 8, 2025

Audit Report for the Transportation Development Act Transportation Fund The City’s independent auditor, Moss, Levy & Hartzheim, LLP also completed the Audit Report for the Transportation Development Act Transportation Fund Report (the “TDA Transportation Fund Report”). The auditors opined that the City complied, in all material respects, with requirements that could have a direct and material effect on each of its major federal programs for the year ended June 30, 2024. There were no findings issued or questioned costs.

The TDA Transportation Fund Report is for the Transportation Fund, which is a special revenue fund of the City. The California Code of Regulations, Title 21, sections 6661 and 6751, required Local Transportation Fund and State Transit Assistance Fund recipients such as the City to submit a fiscal audit report to the State Controller’s Office annually.

The Transportation Fund Audit reflected that the City’s allocations under Article 8, Section 99400(a), which relates to projects for local streets and other multimodal transportation, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, was $397,945. The City’s allocations under Public Utilities Code Article 3, Section 99233.3, which relates to funding facilities for use of pedestrians and bicycles or other local transportation projects, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, was $22,564. The City's allocation of the TDA Funds are used to support the Streets program that maintains all city streets, rights-of-way, and sidewalks.

MEMORANDUM
TO: City Council
FROM: Matthew Downing, City Manager
BY: Aleah Bergam, Management Analyst
SUBJECT: Confirm Direction on a “Buy Local Program”
DATE: April 8, 2025
RECOMMENDATION:

Confirm staff’s direction on a “Buy Local Program” administered by the South County Chambers of Commerce to support Village businesses impacted during the Traffic Way Bridge Replacement Project.

IMPACT ON FINANCIAL AND PERSONNEL RESOURCES:

Pursuant to a December 2016 Settlement Agreement between Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) and the local San Luis Obispo County governmental entities and, later, SB 1090, the City has received one-time Economic Development Funds (EDF) of $747,422 to support the City’s economic development needs in light of the planned closure of the Diablo Canyon Power Plant. On March 9, 2021, the Council allocated a portion of these funds to a COVID Relief Program, one component of which included a Grant Program administered by the Chamber. At the FY 2024-25 First Quarter Status Report, the Council approved the reallocation of $21,500 from the retraining scholarship program funded by SB 1090 funds to support a future “Buy Local Program.”
The South County Chambers of Commerce has agreed to administer the program on behalf of the City. The City will pay a small administrative fee to the Chambers of Commerce as well as pay for marketing material that can be absorbed within the current budget. The City will contribute staff time as needed to help with administrative duties.

BACKGROUND:

On January 29, 2025, staff met with owners of many of the Village Businesses to gather feedback on the Traffic Way Bridge Replacement Project as the City approaches a construction start date. Construction will require the full closure of Traffic Way at the current Traffic Way Bridge segment, the closure of Nevada Street, as well as traffic circulation modifications, which can be seen in Figures 1 and 2 below. At the meeting, a

possible “Buy Local Program” was discussed, and the majority of attendees expressed interest in the City pursuing this program.

Figure 1: Northbound Traffic Detour

Item 9.e.

City Council
Confirm Direction on a “Buy Local Program”
April 8, 2025

Figure 2: Southbound Traffic Detour
ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:

Several cities in San Luis Obispo County have “Buy Local Programs,” which enable residents and visitors to support the local economy while also enjoying a shopping or dining experience. While there are many forms that these programs can take, one predominant form is a gift card program, where for specific dollar amounts spent at eligible businesses, customers receive a gift card to a qualifying restaurant, brewery, wine tasting, or retail establishment in the qualifying area.

Program Administration
Recently implemented “Buy Local Programs” were developed to support businesses during road construction. The South County Chambers of Commerce has administered the program on behalf of the agencies. While specific details of each program have been slightly different by jurisdiction, the predominant methodology has been that for every $100 a person spends at participating businesses, that person receives a gift card to a restaurant, brewery, winery, or coffee shop. Multiple receipts can be combined to reach the $100 goal. Any one single receipt over $100 only counts for one gift card. Receipts must be from businesses within the program area. Receipts can be submitted online through the South County Chambers of Commerce website.

In addition, and to encourage local spending during the holiday season, another local community partnered with their Chamber of Commerce to launch a ‘Spend $100, Get $20’

Item 9.e.

City Council
Confirm Direction on a “Buy Local Program”
April 8, 2025

program, during which shoppers who spent $100 or more at a qualifying local business could receive a $20 gift card to a participating business. Receipts had to be itemized, dated within the program period, and exclude taxes, delivery fees, and shipping costs.

Each household could earn up to two gift cards, which were distributed on a first-come, first-served basis while supplies lasted. Receipts were redeemed in person at the Chamber of Commerce.

Scope and Location
Staff intends to implement a similar program structure to these examples. Staff has discussed this program with the South County Chambers of Commerce, who can administer the program on behalf of the City due to limited internal capacity to administer the program by City staff.

Based on reviewing other Buy Local Programs and conversations with the Village businesses, staff intends the following program specifics:
 For every $100 spent within the Program boundaries, participants will be eligible to receive a $20 gift card to a Village business, to be defined in the program guidelines.
 Multiple receipts can be combined to reach the $100 goal. Any one single receipt over $100 will only count for one $20 gift card.
 Receipts must be from restaurants, breweries, wine tasting, coffee shops, salons, or other qualifying retail establishments doing business within the area displayed in Figure 3 below:

City Council
Confirm Direction on a “Buy Local Program”
April 8, 2025

Timeline
Staff intends to begin the program in May 2025, in consultation with and availability of the South County Chambers of Commerce. Additionally, staff intends to implement the program in phases, as this is the first Buy Local Program the City has undertaken.

Implementing the program in phases allows the City and community to observe how successful the Program is and allows modifications to be made to continue to address the needs of the Village businesses. The first phase would end after half of the funds available have been distributed ($10,000). Any suggested modifications or improvements will be made before disbursing the remaining $10,000.

ALTERNATIVES:

The following alternatives are provided for the Council’s consideration:

1. Provide concurrence on the Program;

2. Provide direction on Program modifications; or

3. Provide other direction to staff.

ADVANTAGES:

Implementing a “Buy Local Program” supports local businesses impacted by street closures, traffic circulation modifications and construction activity during the Traffic Way Bridge Replacement Project.

DISADVANTAGES:

There are no disadvantages identified.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:

Authorizing a “Buy Local Program” is not a project subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) because it has no potential to result in either a direct, or reasonably foreseeable indirect, physical change in the environment. (State CEQA Guidelines, §§ 15060 (c)(2) and (3), 15378.) Alternatively, implementing a “Buy Local Program” is exempt from CEQA on the basis that it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment. (State CEQA Guidelines, § 15061, subd. (b)(3).)
PUBLIC NOTIFICATION AND COMMENTS:

The Agenda was posted at City Hall and on the City’s website in accordance with Government Code Section 54954.2.

Item 9.f.

MEMORANDUM
TO: City Council
FROM: Ashley Garcia, Human Resources Officer
SUBJECT: Assembly Bill 2561 (City Workforce Vacancies, Recruitment, and Retention Trends) Compliance Procedure
DATE: April 8, 2025
RECOMMENDATION:
1) Adopt a Resolution adopting procedures for public hearings under Assembly Bill 2561; and
2) Direct staff to incorporate the procedure into the City Council Handbook.

IMPACT ON FINANCIAL AND PERSONNEL RESOURCES:

There is no immediate fiscal impact from the approval of a procedure to comply with Assembly Bill 2561 (AB 2561) requirements. However, it is estimated that eight hours of Human Resources staff time will be required annually to track vacancies, prepare a presentation, and interface with employee groups for AB 2561 vacancy reporting.

BACKGROUND:

Effective January 1, 2025, AB 2561 amended the Meyers-Milias-Brown Act, adding Government Code Section 3502.3, which now requires public agencies to provide annual public updates on vacancy status and associated recruitment efforts. This legislation was intended to respond to concerns in the California Legislature regarding widespread public sector vacancies.

ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:

AB 2561 outlines three key requirements:

1. Annual Public Hearing on Vacancies
Public agencies must present a report on the status of vacancies at a public hearing before their governing body at least once per fiscal year, preceding the adoption of the final budget. This report must include:
 Current recruitment and retention strategies.

Item 9.f.

City Council
Assembly Bill 2561 (City Workforce Vacancies, Recruitment, and Retention Trends) Compliance Procedure
April 8, 2025

 Identification of any policy or procedural changes impacting vacancy reduction efforts.

In accordance with this requirement, a public hearing has been scheduled for the April 22, 2025, City Council meeting.

2. Additional Reporting for High Vacancy Rates
For bargaining units with vacancy rates exceeding 20% of total authorized full-time positions, agencies are required, upon request, to provide detailed information including:
 Total job vacancies within the bargaining unit.
 Number of applicants for vacant positions.
 Average hiring process duration (from posting to hiring).  Opportunities to improve compensation and working conditions.

Currently, no bargaining unit vacancies exceed 20%.

3. Employee Organization Presentations
Recognized employee organizations may make their own presentations during the same public hearing, providing a forum for employee input alongside the agency’s vacancy report.

Staff will invite representatives from Service Employees International Union (SEIU) Local 620 and Arroyo Grande Police Officers’ Association (POA) to present during the City’s vacancy report public hearing on April 22, 2025. Representatives from the International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF) Local 4403 will be invited to present to the FCFA Board when they receive a vacancy report specific to FCFA staffing on April 29, 2025.

To establish a procedure for annual vacancy reporting to comply with AB 2561, staff developed a proposed order of presentation for the public hearing attached.

ALTERNATIVES:

The following alternatives are provided for the Council’s consideration:

1. Adopt procedure to comply with AB 2561 and add to City Council Handbook;

2. Modify proposed procedure; or

3. Provide other direction to staff.

ADVANTAGES:

Establishing a framework and procedure ahead of the first required public hearing will clarify the order of the presentations for the multiple parties involved, including expectations for length of presentation.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:

The AB 2561 Compliance procedure is not a project subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) because it has no potential to result in either a direct, or reasonably foreseeable indirect, physical change in the environment. (State CEQA Guidelines, §§ 15060 (c)(2) and (3), 15378.) Alternatively, the AB 2561 Compliance procedure is exempt from CEQA on the basis that it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment.

OF ARROYO GRANDE ADOPTING PROCEDURES FOR
PUBLIC HEARINGS UNDER ASSEMBLY BILL 2561
WHEREAS, Assembly Bill 2561 (AB 2561), effective January 1, 2025, establishes new legal obligations for the City to report the status of their workforce vacancies and recruitment and retention efforts during a public hearing before the City Council at least once per fiscal year; and

EXHIBIT A
AB 2561 (City Workforce Vacancies, Recruitment, and Retention Trends) Compliance Procedure
Introduction and Scope:

Effective January 1, 2025, Government Code section 3502.3 requires the City of Arroyo Grande to present information on the status of vacancies at the City and the City’s recruitment and retention efforts at a public hearing before the City Council at least once per fiscal year.

Government Code section 3502.3 also requires the City of Arroyo Grande to identify during the public hearing any necessary changes to City policies, procedures, and recruitment activities that may contribute to obstacles in the City’s hiring process.

At the public hearing, a recognized employee organization for a bargaining unit is entitled to make a presentation to the City Council addressing the status of vacancies and recruitment and retention efforts for positions within that bargaining unit.

The purpose of these procedures is to establish a protocol for the City of Arroyo Grande’s public hearings on vacancies in order to ensure a fair, orderly, and efficient hearing process.

The agency should reserve the right to schedule separate public hearings for different bargaining units and is not limited to one Public Hearing to address all vacancies and recruitment and retention efforts within the entire agency.

Notice Requirements:

1. The Human Resources Department will notify in writing each recognized employee organization that represents City of Arroyo Grande employees that the City Council will hold a hearing pursuant to the obligations set forth under Government Code section 3502.3 (Assembly Bill 2561). The notice will provide each recognized employee organization the opportunity to identify any negotiable impacts/effects regarding the agency’s compliance with Government Code section 3502.3 and the agency’s board policy.

The City will request that, for planning purposes, the employee organization provides written notice to the Human Resources Department at least five (5) working days in advance of the public hearing indicating whether the employee organization intends to make a presentation at the public hearing.

EXHIBIT A
The notice will also include information about the amount of time that the City Council has allotted to employee organizations for each bargaining unit that the organization represents for the purpose of making a presentation at the public hearing.

3. In the event the vacancy rate for the bargaining unit is at least 20% of the total number of authorized full-time positions in the bargaining unit, an employee organization may request that the City present “additional information” related to the vacancies as permitted by Government Code section 3502.3. The City will request that the employee organization provide a written request for the presentation of such information to the Human Resources Department at least five (5) working days in advance of the public hearing. The “additional information” includes the following: (1) the total number of job vacancies within the bargaining unit; (2) the total number of applicants for vacant positions within the bargaining unit; (3) the average number of days to complete the hiring process from when a position is posted; and (4) opportunities to improve compensation and other working conditions.

4. Notice of the hearing to the public will be provided in accordance with the Ralph M. Brown Act. (Gov. Code §§ 54950-54963.)

5. A City staff report regarding vacancies and recruitment and retention efforts may be published as part of the agenda packet for the meeting.

6. The City and recognized employee organizations may agree to exchange presentation materials in advance of the public hearing.

Assembly Bill No. 2561
CHAPTER 409
An act to add Section 3502.3 to the Government Code, relating to public employment.
[Approved by Governor September 22, 2024. Filed with
Secretary of State September 22, 2024.]
legislative counsel’s digest
AB 2561, McKinnor. Local public employees: vacant positions.

Existing law, the Meyers-Milias-Brown Act (act), authorizes local public employees, as defined, to form, join, and participate in the activities of employee organizations of their own choosing for the purpose of representation on matters of labor relations. The act requires the governing body of a public agency to meet and confer in good faith regarding wages, hours, and other terms and conditions of employment with representatives of recognized employee organizations and to consider fully presentations that are made by the employee organization on behalf of its members before arriving at a determination of policy or course of action.

This bill would, as specified, require a public agency to present the status of vacancies and recruitment and retention efforts at a public hearing at least once per fiscal year, and would entitle the recognized employee organization to present at the hearing. If the number of job vacancies within a single bargaining unit meets or exceeds 20% of the total number of authorized full-time positions, the bill would require the public agency, upon request of the recognized employee organization, to include specified information during the public hearing. By imposing new duties on local public agencies, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The bill would also include related legislative findings.

The California Constitution requires local agencies, for the purpose of ensuring public access to the meetings of public bodies and the writings of public officials and agencies, to comply with a statutory enactment that amends or enacts laws relating to public records or open meetings and contains findings demonstrating that the enactment furthers the constitutional requirements relating to this purpose.

This bill would make legislative findings to that effect.

The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.

This bill would provide that no reimbursement shall be made pursuant to these statutory provisions for costs mandated by the state pursuant to this act, but would recognize that a local agency or school district may pursue any available remedies to seek reimbursement for these costs. 92 STATE OF CALIFORNIA

AUTHENTICATED

ELECTRONIC LEGAL MATERIAL
ATTACHMENT 2

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:

SECTION 1. The Legislature finds and declares as follows:
(a) Job vacancies in local government are a widespread and significant problem for the public sector affecting occupations across wage levels and educational requirements.
(b) High job vacancies impact public service delivery and the workers who are forced to handle heavier workloads, with understaffing leading to burnout and increased turnover that further exacerbate staffing challenges. (c) There is a statewide interest in ensuring that public agency operations are appropriately staffed and that high vacancy rates do not undermine public employee labor relations.

SEC. 2. Section 3502.3 is added to the Government Code, to read:
3502.3. (a) (1) A public agency shall present the status of vacancies and recruitment and retention efforts during a public hearing before the governing board at least once per fiscal year.
(2) If the governing board will be adopting an annual or multiyear budget during the fiscal year, the presentation shall be made prior to the adoption of the final budget.
(3) During the hearing, the public agency shall identify any necessary changes to policies, procedures, and recruitment activities that may lead to obstacles in the hiring process.
(b) The recognized employee organization for a bargaining unit shall be entitled to make a presentation at the public hearing at which the public agency presents the status of vacancies and recruitment and retention efforts for positions within that bargaining unit.
(c) If the number of job vacancies within a single bargaining unit meets or exceeds 20 percent of the total number of authorized full-time positions, the public agency shall, upon request of the recognized employee organization, include all of the following information during the public hearing:
(1) The total number of job vacancies within the bargaining unit. (2) The total number of applicants for vacant positions within the bargaining unit.
(3) The average number of days to complete the hiring process from when a position is posted.
(4) Opportunities to improve compensation and other working conditions. (d) This section shall not prevent the governing board from holding additional public hearings about vacancies.
(e) The provisions of this section are severable. If any provision of this section or its application is held invalid, the invalidity shall not affect other provisions or applications that can be given effect without the invalid provision or application.
(f) For purposes of this section, “recognized employee organization” has the same meaning as defined in subdivision (a) of Section 3501.

SEC. 3. The Legislature finds and declares that Section 2 of this act, which adds Section 3502.3 to the Government Code, furthers, within the 92 Ch. 409 — 2 —

meaning of paragraph (7) of subdivision (b) of Section 3 of Article I of the California Constitution, the purposes of that constitutional section as it relates to the right of public access to the meetings of local public bodies or the writings of local public officials and local agencies. Pursuant to paragraph (7) of subdivision (b) of Section 3 of Article I of the California Constitution, the Legislature makes the following findings:

It is in the public interest, and it furthers the purposes of paragraph (7) of subdivision (b) of Section (3) of Article I of the California Constitution, to ensure that information concerning public agency employment is available to the public.

SEC. 4. No reimbursement shall be made pursuant to Part 7 (commencing with Section 17500) of Division 4 of Title 2 of the Government Code for costs mandated by the state pursuant to this act. It is recognized, however, that a local agency or school district may pursue any remedies to obtain reimbursement available to it under Part 7 (commencing with Section 17500) and any other law.

MEMORANDUM
TO: City Council
FROM: Bill Robeson, Assistant City Manager/ Director of Public Works BY: Dan Kies, Public Works Manager
Shannon Sweeney, City Engineer
SUBJECT: Public Works Budget Reallocation for Vehicle Replacement; and Resolution Declaring Vehicles as Surplus
DATE: April 8, 2025
RECOMMENDATION:
1) Carry over $160,000 of unspent FY 2023-24 funds into FY 2024-25 for the replacement of a bucket truck. Authorize the City Manager to approve the purchase of a bucket truck following competitive bidding per the City’s Purchasing Policy; 2) Reallocate $140,000 in FY 2024-25 funds from the purchase of a medium-duty dump truck to the purchase of three light-duty trucks and authorize the purchase of the vehicles from Arroyo Grande Chevrolet for $120,113.72; and
3) Adopt a Resolution declaring specified equipment to be surplus and authorizing the sale or disposal thereof.

IMPACT ON FINANCIAL AND PERSONNEL RESOURCES:

All requested funds were previously budgeted and not spent. The bucket truck was budgeted in FY 2023-24 and is being requested as a carryover now that staff are ready to make this purchase. FY 2024-25 has $140,000 budgeted to replace a dump truck, staff is recommending reallocating these funds for the replacement of three light-duty trucks.

BACKGROUND:

The Public Works Department operates 40 vehicles and other equipment. This vehicle pool is assessed annually. As vehicles age, they become less reliable and some become non-compliant with California State emissions requirements.

Starting January 1, 2025, Advanced Clean Fleet regulations require, in part, that the City purchase electric technology for a portion of its larger vehicles, such as the bucket truck.

A bucket truck is a specialized truck that has been equipped with a lift and platform that allows workers to access elevated areas (e.g. tree canopies, windows on higher stories).

Bucket trucks of the size needed by the City are currently exempt from the Advanced

Item 9.g.

City Council
Public Works Budget Reallocation for Vehicle Replacement; and Resolution Declaring Vehicles as Surplus
April 8, 2025

Clean Fleet regulations, because no electric bucket trucks are being manufactured.

Purchasing this vehicle now would enable staff to purchase a gasoline-powered bucket truck at considerable cost savings.

Additionally, staff is recommending that three light duty pickup trucks to be purchased in lieu of the one medium-duty dump truck because maintenance on the current pickup trucks exceed maintenance costs on the dump truck. The dump truck will be incorporated into the FY 2025-27 budgeted process.

ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:

The Public Works Department vehicle fleet is aging. As the fleet ages, the cost of maintenance of the vehicles increases due to more significant and costly repairs.

Replacement of older vehicles avoids these high maintenance costs. In addition, there is more downtime associated with the older vehicles which impacts the Department’s ability to meet service expectations. The City’s Fleet Maintenance Coordinator has been successful in extending the useful life of the current vehicles beyond the typical 10-year service life, as the pickup trucks slated for replacement are 17,19, and 24 years old.

The three replacement ½ ton service vehicles will be used by the Streets Division. Three older pickup trucks from the City’s vehicle fleet will be cycled out and sent to public auction, if approved by the City Council.

Staff received three quotes for new pickup trucks. The results are summarized below:

Vendor Vehicle Unit Price Total Price
Arroyo Grande Chevrolet 2 single cab 1500
1 crew cab 1500
$37,382.82
$45,348.08
$120,113.72
Mullahey Ford 2 single cab F150
1 crew cab F150
$38,609.56
$43,236.88
$120,456.00
Cole Dodge RAM 2 single cab 2500
1 crew cab 1500
$44,495.00
$43,361.11
$132,351.11
Arroyo Grande Chevrolet is the low bid for the purchase of these three vehicles, at $120,113.72.

The bucket truck is used for work activities that require working at heights of up to 40 feet, for such tasks as tree trimming, replacement of light bulbs, and seasonal decorations.

ALTERNATIVES:

The following alternatives are provided for the City Council’s consideration:

1. Approve staff’s recommendation as stated herein;

2. Do not approve the carryover, reallocation, and purchase;

3. Direct staff to reprioritize vehicle replacements; or

Item 9.g.

City Council
Public Works Budget Reallocation for Vehicle Replacement; and Resolution Declaring Vehicles as Surplus
April 8, 2025

4. Provide other direction to staff.

ADVANTAGES:

Replacement of the aging fleet vehicles will reduce vehicle maintenance costs and downtime. Additionally, the existing bucket truck is over 20 years old and no longer meet California emission standards. The replacement vehicle will comply with APCD emission standards.

DISADVANTAGES:

Staff’s recommendation defers the purchase of the medium-duty dump truck until it is incorporated into the FY 2025-27 budget. While deferring this purchase is not ideal, staff determined that the maintenance costs of the pickups will exceed maintenance costs of the dump truck, thereby reducing overall maintenance costs.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:

Carrying over, reallocating, and purchasing vehicles with previously budgeted funds is not a project subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) because it has no potential to result in either a direct, or reasonably foreseeable indirect, physical change in the environment. (State CEQA Guidelines, §§ 15060 (c)(2) and (3), 15378.) PUBLIC NOTIFICATION AND COMMENTS:

The Agenda was posted at City Hall and on the City’s website in accordance with Government Code Section 54954.2.

MEMORANDUM
TO: City Council
FROM: Bill Robeson, Assistant City Manager/Director of Public Works BY: Shannon Sweeney, City Engineer
SUBJECT: 2024 Street Repair Testing and Inspection Contract Amendment DATE: April 8, 2025
RECOMMENDATION:

Authorize the City Manager to execute an amendment to the existing special testing and inspection Purchase Order (Purchase Order No. 2025112) with Pavement Engineering, Inc.

IMPACT ON FINANCIAL AND PERSONNEL RESOURCES:

The original Purchase Order with Pavement Engineering, Inc. (PEI) totaled $95,195. An increase in compensation of $10,000 results in a total contract price of $105,195. $150,000 was budgeted in Fiscal Year 2024-25 for testing associated with the 2024 Street Repairs Project. Sufficient funds are available for this amendment.

BACKGROUND:

On September 10, 2024, staff issued a request for scope and fee proposals to the five companies listed on the City’s on-call list for firms that offer material testing and evaluation, to provide special inspection and testing for the 2024 Streets Repairs Project.

Proposals were received from two firms, ranging from $95,195 to $154,673. Staff issued a purchase order in the amount of $95,195 to the low bid, PEI, on December 4, 2024.

ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:

During the course of the project and through the asphalt materials testing process, it was necessary for PEI to perform supplemental testing to confirm satisfactory compaction requirements and specifications, including quality, durability, and performance. This is a common occurrence due to variation in the asphalt plant batch processing.

In addition, the City added two locations to be paved as part of this project using project contingency funding. Plata Road was added to the project due to its close proximity to other street repair work and poor conditions as compared to adjacent streets. Fair Oaks Avenue between Valley Road and California Street was added to accommodate the traffic

City Council

circle to be installed in front of Arroyo Grande High School in April, which is connected to a traffic calming plan for the Traffic Way Bridge Replacement Project. PEI’s services are required for special testing and inspection at these additional locations.

This additional work is estimated to cost $10,000. City staff have determined that this additional expense is necessary and reasonable.

ALTERNATIVES:

The following alternatives are provided for the Council’s consideration:

1. Approve amendment;

2. Reject amendment; or

3. Provide other direction to staff.

ADVANTAGES:

Approving this project budget amendment provides for continued special inspection for repairs on streets that have been added to the 2024 Street Repairs Project, including Plata Road and Fair Oaks Avenue between Valley Road and California Street. This special inspection has been critical in ensuring that the contractor provides adequate compaction of material for long-term structural integrity of the street.

DISADVANTAGES:

None identified.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:

Approving this amendment is not a project subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) because it has no potential to result in either a direct, or reasonably foreseeable indirect, physical change in the environment. (State CEQA Guidelines, §§ 15060, subd. (c)(2)-(3), 15378.)

TO: City Council
FROM: Bill Robeson, Assistant City Manager/Director of Public Works Nicole Valentine, Director of Administrative Services
BY: Shannon Sweeney, City Engineer
SUBJECT: Senate Bill 1 Projects for Fiscal Year 2025-26 DATE: April 8, 2025
RECOMMENDATION:
1) Adopt a Resolution adopting a list of projects for Fiscal Year 2025-26 funded by Senate Bill 1;
2) Authorize the Director of Administrative Services to submit the Resolution to the California Transportation Commission (CTC); and
3) Make findings that adopting the Resolution is not a project subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because the adoption in itself has no potential to result in either a direct, or reasonably foreseeable indirect, physical change in the environment. (State CEQA Guidelines, §§ 15060, subd. (b)(2)-(3), 15378.) IMPACT ON FINANCIAL AND PERSONNEL RESOURCES:

The City’s allocation of SB1 funding for FY 2025-26 is projected to be $481,366. This funding will be utilized to maintain the City’s streets. With this allocation, and the City’s Gas Tax funding of $536,664, the total funding available from the State for street and road maintenance is $1,018,031. A comprehensive 12-year expanded Pavement Management Plan (City Street repairs) and schedule that utilizes Measure E-24 Sales Tax funds will be presented to the Council in April.

BACKGROUND:

On April 28, 2017, the Governor signed SB1, known as the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017. SB1 increases gasoline taxes and vehicle registration fees to address deferred maintenance on the State highway system and the local street and road system. These additional taxes are deposited by the State Controller into the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA). A portion of this funding is apportioned by formula to eligible cities and counties, including Arroyo Grande, pursuant to California Streets and Highways Code (SHC) Section 2032(h), and are to be used for basic road

maintenance, rehabilitation, and critical safety projects on the local streets and roads system.

Because SB1 emphasizes accountability and transparency in transportation funding, programming and use of the funds is contingent on recipient cities and counties providing annual project reporting. Per SHC Section 2034(a)(1), prior to receiving any RMRA funding, cities and counties must submit a list of projects, adopted by Resolution, to be funded with the RMRA funds. The streets that are proposed for repairs/overlay treatments using SB1 funding are Huasna Road and the Ikeda Way neighborhood shown on Figure 1 and to be included in its 2025 Street Repairs Project.

Figure 1: Proposed Street Repairs
ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:

SHC Section 2030(b) provides several types of projects and uses for RMRA funding that include, but are not limited to, the following:
 Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation
 Safety Projects
 Railroad Grade Separations
 Complete Streets Components, including active transportation purposes, pedestrian and bicycle safety projects, transit facilities, and drainage and stormwater capture projects in conjunction with any other allowable project  Traffic Control Devices
 Matching funds to State or federal funds for projects under this subdivision

Item 9.i.

City Council

April 8, 2025

Pursuant to SHC Section 2037, a city or county may spend its apportionment of RMRA funds on transportation priorities other than those outlined in SHC Section 2030 if the city or county’s average Pavement Condition Index (PCI) meets or exceeds 80. The City of Arroyo Grande’s PCI is less than 80, therefore, this year’s RMRA funds must be spent on the transportation priorities listed above.

The City maintains its approximately 68 miles of streets through two mechanisms: (1) the City’s in-house street crew that provides daily efforts to keep streets functional, such as pothole repair, and (2) capital projects as part of its plan to provide long term maintenance and repair. Based on the SHC, the City can use its RMRA funds for either of these services. Historically, the City has utilized its RMRA funds to augment the City’s plan for upcoming roadway rehabilitation projects as opposed to allocating the funds to the City’s in-house street maintenance program. This has been staff’s recommendation to the City Council due to uncertainties that would be created by a decline in RMRA revenues or a possible repeal of SB1. In these events, it would be less impactful to cut a specific longterm project or a portion thereof than to reduce the City’s in-house street maintenance program. Since the in-house street maintenance program addresses constant, immediate short- and medium-term street safety issues (e.g., debris removal, potholes, skin patching, re-striping, storm water and drainage repairs, etc.), funding must be readily available for those more immediate needs.

In accordance with SHC Section 2036, the City must maintain its existing commitment of local funds for street purposes to remain eligible for allocations of RMRA funds. This commitment is generally referred to as Maintenance of Effort. To receive these RMRA funds, each year the City must expend from its General Fund for street purposes in an amount not less than the annual average of General Fund expenditures during fiscal years (FY) 2009-10, FY 2010-11 and FY 2011-12, as reported to the State Controller’s Office, pursuant to SHC Section 2151. For Arroyo Grande, the annual amount that must be spent from the General Fund for street purposes is $1,431,971. The City complies with this requirement using General Fund and Local Sales Tax Fund.

Additionally, SHC Section 2034(a)(1) details the requirement that cities and counties must comply with when submitting their list of proposed projects to the CTC to be funded with RMRA funds each fiscal year. The requirements include:

1. Adopt the proposed project by Resolution at a regular public City Council meeting;

2. Describe the proposed project and its location;

3. Develop a proposed schedule for the project’s completion; and

4. Estimate the useful life of the improvement.

The State has provided an estimate of $481,366 in FY 2025-26 RMRA funding available to the City. It is recommended these RMRA funds be used to augment the City’s plan.

MEMORANDUM
TO: City Council
FROM: Michael T. Martinez, Chief of Police
BY: Zak Ayala, Police Commander
SUBJECT: Amendments to Title 6 (Animals) of the Arroyo Grande Municipal Code DATE: April 8, 2025
RECOMMENDATION:
1) Adopt an Ordinance amending Title 6 (Animals) of the Arroyo Grande Municipal Code, titled: “AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ARROYO GRANDE, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING TITLE 6 (ANIMALS) OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE TO ADOPT AND INCORPORATE BY REFERENCE SAN LUIS OBISPO COUNTY CODE TITLE 9 (ANIMALS) AND TO RETAIN CERTAIN CITY REQUIREMENTS REGARDING ANIMALS”; and
2) Find that the ordinance is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it will not result in a direct, or reasonably foreseeable indirect, physical change in the environment (State CEQA Guidelines, §§ 15060 (c)(2) and (3), 15378.).

IMPACT ON FINANCIAL AND PERSONNEL RESOURCES:

No financial impact is projected.

BACKGROUND:

The City of Arroyo Grande’s animal control regulations, set forth in Title 6 of the Arroyo Grande Municipal Code (AGMC), guide the administration of animal control services within the City.

In 2023, City staff worked with staff from other cities within San Luis Obispo County (the “County”) and County staff to review and develop consistent and uniform city ordinances and county regulations regarding animals. As a result of this work, uniform County Code Title 9 regulations were developed to allow consistent enforcement across the County and its cities. The County has asked each city that contracts with the County to adopt the County’s Title 9 regulations by reference into their Municipal Code to streamline and simplify the enforcement of animal control consistently.

Item 10.a.

City Council
Amendments to Title 6 (Animals) of the Arroyo Grande Municipal Code April 8, 2025

By adopting Title 9 of the County Code by reference, many current Arroyo Grande municipal code provisions in Title 6 (Animals) will be duplicates. As a result, staff is recommending an overhaul of the current AGMC Title 6 and the adoption of a new ordinance in its place (Attachment 1) that will incorporate the San Luis Obispo County Title 9 regulations by reference.

The City will retain all current AGMC provisions that are not currently represented in Title 9, resulting in no significant changes to the current animal control rules and regulations, but will provide future efficiencies should the County make further updates to Title 9.

ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:

Title 9 of the County Code establishes rules and regulations related to the care, management, and keeping of animals within the County. Additionally, it establishes the County Division of Animal Services’ role, responsibility, and authority in the enforcement of those codes. The last substantial revisions to the County’s Animal Control Code occurred in 1998.

Since that time, standards and expectations with regard to animal care and control have evolved, leaving some of the code’s provisions outdated and inconsistent with currently recognized best practices. Beyond addressing omissions and additions, the County Code revisions clarified existing language, resolved conflicting provisions, eliminated redundancies, and provided continuity between Title 9 and other sections of the County Code.

The AGMC contains the rules and regulations related to animal regulations in the City.

Animal Control Officers from the County are tasked with enforcing the regulations of each contract city in the County, creating the potential for a confusing mix of numerous municipal codes, combined with the County Code, that required research and analysis, depending on which jurisdiction they were currently responding to for a call for service.

Requiring each city that contracts with the County to adopt Title 9 of the County Code provides a standardized set of regulations that can be more easily enforced and create continuity throughout the County while still allowing each city to keep additional regulations that are not contained in Title 9.

Should the City adopt the County Code by reference, Chapters 6.04 (Definitions), 6.08 (Administration and Enforcement), 6.12 (Animal Control Regulations Generally), 6.16 (Dogs and Cats), 6.20 (Pet Shops and Other Animal Use Operations) of the AGMC will be repealed in their entirety.

In order to keep current animal regulations that are unique to the City in place, the following AGMC sections will be retained in a substantially similar form as they are not prohibited actions identified in the County Code:
• AGMC Chapter 6.24 Apiaries.

Item 10.a.

City Council
Amendments to Title 6 (Animals) of the Arroyo Grande Municipal Code April 8, 2025

• 6.24.010 – General requirements.
• 6.24.020 – Enforcement of provisions.

Pursuant to Government Code sections 36934 and 36937, ordinances are “introduced” by a first reading at a City Council meeting, “passed” (i.e. approved) at a later City Council meeting by conducting a second reading, and then take effect 30 days after passage.

At a public hearing on March 25, 2025, the City Council introduced and supported the Ordinance as proposed. The Ordinance amendments are now ready for adoption. The Ordinance amendments will become effective thirty (30) days after adoption.

ALTERNATIVES:

1. Adopt the Ordinance as proposed;

2. Modify the Ordinance amendments and direct staff to return at a future public hearing to introduce the modified amendments; or

3. Provide other direction to staff.

ADVANTAGES:

Adopting the Ordinance amendment will streamline processes and provide continuity with County Animal Control Services for animal services enforcement across the County and in the City.

DISADVANTAGES:

None identified.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:

The California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) does not apply to the recommended action in this report. This proposed Ordinance is not a “project” subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) because it has no potential to result in a direct or indirect physical change in the environment (State CEQA Guidelines, §§ 15060 (c)(2) and (3), 15378.) The sole effect of the proposed Ordinance is to adopt newly enacted and uniform animal regulations in consultation with the County of San Luis Obispo.

PUBLIC NOTIFICATION AND COMMENTS:

The Agenda was posted at City Hall and on the City’s website in accordance with Government Code Section 54954.2. The public hearing on this item was noticed in accordance with Government Code Section 50022.3.
