2. Waste Reduction
a. GreenWaste + Hefty ReNew Program
Staff met with Greenwaste and a representative from the Hefty Renew Program at the beginning of October. The Hefty ReNew Program is designed to complement existing recycling efforts by providing a curbside collection system for hard-to-recycle plastics.

These materials, often not accepted in traditional recycling programs, include everyday items like candy wrappers, foam takeout containers, and other plastics. The program aims to divert these materials from landfills, reducing fossil fuel dependence and improving overall recycling efficiency.

We discussed how the program can be integrated into the Town's sustainability efforts, through GreenWaste. The program offers a simple and convenient way for residents to collect these hard-to-recycle plastics in special orange bags, which are then picked up curbside alongside regular recycling and trash services.

As the Town of Atherton continues to explore ways to enhance its waste management and sustainability programs, the Hefty ReNew Program could be a valuable addition.

Staff is considering potential partnerships, logistics, and educational outreach to ensure successful implementation. The Program will be introduced at the next Environmental Programs Committee (EPC) and Refuse & Recycling subcommittee meetings for consideration and feedback.

b. Facility Tour Planning for Jan/February
Staff is working with GreenWaste to schedule a facility tour for the EPC in early 2025, likely January or February. If any members of the council would like to join, please contact Christabel at [email protected]

d. Compost Pile
The Compost pile continues to be a free and well used product offered at Holbrook Palmer Park. The pile is restocked regularly every 2-3 months, or when it is visibly low.

3. Electric Leaf Blower Program
As of November 2024, there are approximately 54 rebates remaining under the FY24- 25 program.

We continue to encourage residents who haven't yet taken advantage of this offer to do so, as the rebates are available on a first-come, first-served basis until the funds are depleted.

Based on some of the residents' feedback, folks are concerned that the battery life of electric leaf blowers won’t keep up with Atherton acre+ lot/s and adds stress and labor onto their landscapers.

4. Refuse & Recycling Subcommittee
The Refuse & Recycling subcommittee met to discuss amendments to the GWR Francise agreement. Recommendations went to the City Council in October.

Response Times
In general, there are 3 types of Calls for Service from the Police Department. In order of priority:

High, Medium, and Low.

High Priority calls are in-progress events where persons or high-value property are in immediate danger and requires a multiple officer response. This is a lights and siren response to a crime in progress, injury collision, or medical emergency.

Medium Priority calls are in-progress events without an immediate danger to persons or property.

Multiple officers may be necessary for these calls. These calls take precedence over all other calls for service and require an immediate police response (non-lights and siren), but the incident may not be in progress. The most common medium priority calls are burglary, robbery, sexual assault, and residential burglary alarm activations. The latter is the most frequent call in Atherton.

Low Priority calls are other calls for service. Events that may no longer be in-progress, so immediate response is not as urgent. Normally requires a single officer. Officers may or may not be immediately dispatched to these calls. Low priority calls are dogs off leash the Park, parking violations, construction noise or activity, and follow-up police reports.

During the Reporting Period there were:

Priority Level Number of Calls Average Response Time Goal High 5 2:31 <4 minutes
Medium 383 5:20 <6 minutes
Low 282 4:22 <8 minutes
Response times are calculated from the time the call is dispatched until the time the officer arrives on the scene. The table below depicts the Department’s Medium Priority response times for the past 6 months.

At the November 6 Study Session, the Council discussed various options to offset the contractual eleven percent (11%) compensation increase pursuant to the Franchise Agreement with GreenWaste Recovery, LLC (GWR) which translated to an eleven percent (11%) increase to ratepayers. The Council settled on a combined approach of a reduction of the Town’s ten percent (10%) franchise fee (a pass-through cost) to five percent (5%), an increase to full cost recovery for excess and blue bins, and an “effective” rate increase to ratepayers of six percent (6%).

The Council directed that staff work with GWR to effectuate an amendment to the Franchise Agreement to address the franchise fee and to work with GWR to facilitate the bin increases through the required Proposition 218 process.

ANALYSIS
The City Attorney’s Office crafted the attached Second Amendment to agreement which has been reviewed and accepted by GWR. The Franchise Agreement prescribes compensation increases for GWR. However, it does not prescribe the effective rate increase. This will need to be determined annually. The Second Amendment prescribes the increase for FY 2025 as reviewed by the Council at the November 6 Study Session. However, the Town and GWR will need to review contractual costs and other factors each year to determine the necessary effective rate increase. The Amendment builds in an Annual Rate Evaluation Meeting to address this.

The Proposition 218 process for the cost recovery on the excess and blue bins (effectively 2%)

will be processed in the early part of 2025. Notices will be released for the Public Hearing by December 2024.

FISCAL IMPACT
The Town receives approximately $420,000 a year from the ten percent (10%) franchise fee. These funds are considered General Fund revenues and are used for Town operations which includes capital improvement projects and street maintenance. As rates increase, revenue to the Town also increases. The estimated revenue loss to the Town through reduction of the franchise fee to five percent (5%) translates to approximately $210,000 in FY 2025/26 and $105,000 for the remainder of FY 2024/25.

GOAL ALIGNMENT
This Report and its contents are in alignment with the following Council Policy Goals:
• Goal Area A – Maintain Fiscal Responsibility
• Goal Area F – Be Forward-Thinking, Well-Managed, and Well-Planned

POLICY FOCUS
Policy focus for this item is on the fiscal impact of a reduction in General Fund revenue and the use of that offset to reduce the effective rate for ratepayers.

4869-0140-3126.1

SECOND AMENDMENT TO
The Franchise Agreement Between the Town of Atherton and GreenWaste Recovery, LLC for Collection and Processing of Waste, Mixed Compostable Materials, Recyclable Materials and Yard Trimmings
This Second Amendment (“Amendment”) to the Waste, Mixed Compostable Materials, Recyclable Materials and Yard Trimmings Collection and Processing Franchise Agreement (“Franchise Agreement”) dated November 19, 2020, is made and entered into this ___ day of November, 2024 by and between the Town of Atherton, a municipal corporation State of California (“Town”), and GreenWaste Recovery, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“GreenWaste”) registered to do business in the State of California. The Town and GreenWaste are collectively referred to as the "Parties."

RECITALS
WHEREAS, the Town and GreenWaste are parties to a franchise agreement for waste services dated November 19, 2020, as amended October 20, 2021 (“Franchise Agreement”); and, WHEREAS, the Agreement specifies the Annual Adjustments to the Franchisee’s Compensation which correlates directly to increases in rates charged by GreenWaste to customers; and,
WHEREAS, when the Town exited the South Bay Waste Management Authority (SBWMA) in favor of entering into a direct waste hauling franchise agreement, the Town was required to reimburse the SBWMA for sunk capital costs as a member of the SBWMA. At the time Town had a Rate Stabilization Fund that was used to offset rate costs to residents and was used to true up costs for service through SBWMA. The Town used its Rate Stabilization Fund to pay its exit costs. However, the Rate Stabilization Fund was not sufficient to pay off the entirety of its exit costs and the Town used General Funds to cover the difference; and, WHEREAS, The Franchise Agreement with GreenWaste stipulated that GreenWaste would reimburse the Town $585,000 for a portion of the withdrawal costs from SBWMA.

GreenWaste remitted this amount in total to the Town by January 1, 2022. In addition, GreenWaste was required to reimburse the Town for its costs related to franchise negotiations in the amount of $175,000. These costs were distributed over the life of the contract. All of these funds have been remitted to the Town and replenished the Town’s Rate Stabilization Fund. The current balance in the Fund is approximately $537,000; and, WHEREAS, the Town and GreenWaste entered into a First Amendment to the Agreement on or around October 20, 2021, in which the Town consented to the change in control of the company to MIP V Waste, LLC.

WHEREAS, On October 1, 2024, GreenWaste provided the Town with a letter explaining their annual Rate Adjustment for 2025, and the Franchise Agreement requires Franchisee’s Base Services Compensation increase of 11% on January 1, 2025; and, WHEREAS, the Town wishes to minimize rate increases to its residents, and thus, wishes to reduce its Franchise Fee so that residents do not receive an 11% increase on January 1, 2025; and,

Page 73 of 1188 ends

4869-0140-3126.1
WHEREAS, the cost to customers for GreenWaste's services are imposed in an amount less than or equal to the cost necessary to carry out waste services, do not exceed the reasonable cost of providing the services necessary to the activity on which the fees are based because the Town subsidizes those costs, and directly offset GreenWaste's costs in providing waste services.

NOW THEREFORE, the parties agree to amend the Agreement as follows:

1. Recitals. The above recitals are true and correct and incorporated herein fully.

2. Effective Date. This Amendment shall take effect immediately upon the final execution by authorized representatives of the Town and GreenWaste and shall remain in effect for the duration of the Franchise Agreement, unless otherwise amended or terminated by mutual consent of both parties.

3. Definitions. For purposes of this Amendment, the terms set forth in the Agreement shall apply unless otherwise expressly modified herein.

4. Amendments to Agreement:
a. The first sentence of Section 12.5.1 Payments to Town of the Agreement shall be amended as follows: "Franchisee shall, in partial consideration for granting the exclusive franchise granted to Franchisee, remit to Town, within thirty (30) days of the end of each month, a Franchise Fee in the amount of five percent (5%) of Franchisee’s monthly Gross Billings."
b. To support the ratepayer impact of the annual rate adjustments, the Town agrees that this reduction shall remain in effect unless otherwise amended by mutual agreement of the Parties.

5. Annual Rate Evaluation Meeting. The effective Service Rate increase to be paid by ratepayers in 2025 will be six (6%) percent. Beyond 2025, and notwithstanding Section 13.2.2 of the Agreement, the Town and GreenWaste shall convene during the third (3rd) quarter (typically, July) of each calendar year to determine the effective rate increase to be paid by the ratepayers for successive calendar years with the ultimate goal of gradually increasing the effective rate to the amount that will cover actual costs, which may then allow for restoration of the Town's franchise fee back to ten (10%) percent. Both parties shall review the current and projected revenue and assess the necessary rate adjustments to ensure all obligations under the Franchise Agreement are met, with the aforementioned goals in mind.

6. Revenue Shortfall Responsibility. In the event that the rate increase agreed upon during the Annual Rate Evaluation Meeting, as described in Section 5 above, does not generate sufficient revenue to cover the financial obligations under the Franchise Agreement, the Town shall be financially responsible for covering the net difference required to meet such obligations.

7. Documentation and Transparency. The Town and GreenWaste shall document the process and findings of each annual rate evaluation meeting, ensuring transparency and open communication regarding the rate-setting process and any fiscal responsibilities resulting therefrom. Under no circumstances shall rates exceed the reasonable costs of providing the services by GreenWaste, including but not limited to profit margin, environmental and administrative charges, attorney’s fees and costs, reimbursement of costs in any way connected

FIXED INCOME MARKET
REVIEW

TOWN OF ATHERTON
As of September 30, 2024
Chart 1: The FOMC cut rates by 50bp and projected a further 50bp to follow in 2024 Economic Indicators and Monetary Policy The FOMC cut the Fed funds rate by 50bp, taking it to a range of 4.75% to 5%. The central bank made several changes to its official statement to reflect a shift in focus from inflation to the labor market. The central bank noted progress on inflation and declared the committee has “gained greater confidence that inflation is moving sustainably toward 2%”. On the labor market, it changed its characterization of job gains as having moderated to slowed and added that the committee is strongly committed to supporting maximum employment . The FOMC projected another 50bp of further rate cuts into the end of the year and 100bp to follow in 2025 (Chart 1).

The FOMC left most of its longer-term estimates unchanged, but slightly adjusted some of its near-term projections to reflect slower growth and inflation as well as higher unemployment.

The Fed trimmed its year-end PCE inflation outlook from 2.6% to 2.3% and its core inflation projection from 2.8% to 2.6%. It raised its near-team unemployment rate projection from 4% to

4.4% for end-2024.

Including food and energy, CPI fell from 2.9% to 2.5% and PCE fell from 2.5% to 2.2%. Both reached the closest levels to the Fed’s 2% target since early 2021. Core CPI remained at 3.2% and Core PCE rose slightly from 2.6% to 2.7%.

Source: Federal Reserve, Bloomberg, Insight, September 30, 2024 Chart 2: The Fed shifts its focus to supporting the labor market The US economy added 142,000 jobs in August, below the 165,000 expected, and up from a downwardly revised 89,000 in July. Besides the pandemic, it was the weakest three months of private sector hiring since 2012. The unemployment rate fell slightly from 4.3% to 4.2%. Wage growth rose from 3.6% to 3.8%.

The third release of Q2 GDP was unchanged at 3% but with marginally softer domestic demand.

Annual revisions to the five years from Q1-2019 to Q1-2023 showed notably higher postpandemic growth in 2021 (up from 5.8% to 6.1%), 2022 (up from 1.9% to 2.5%), and 2023 (up from 2.5% to 2.9%).

Interest Rate Summary
Yields generally fell during the month and the 2-year to 10-year part of the curve dis-inverted for the first time since July 2022. At the end of September, the 3-month US Treasury bill yielded

4.62%, the 6-month US Treasury bill yielded 4.40%, the 2-year US Treasury note yielded 3.64%, the 5-year US Treasury note yielded 3.56% and the 10-year US Treasury note yielded 3.78%.

The performance shown is for the stated time period(s) only.

Any target performance aims are not a guarantee, may not be achieved and a capital loss may occur. Funds which have a higher performance aim generally take more risk to achieve this and so have a greater potential for the returns to be significantly different than expected. Investments are subject to risks, including loss of principal. There can be no guarantee that any investment strategy will meet the liability funding needs of a particular client.

Performance information for certain accounts may reflect performance achieved while the account was managed at a prior firm.

Item No. 5
Town of Atherton
CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT – REGULAR AGENDA
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: GEORGE RODERICKS, CITY MANAGER
DATE: SEPTEMBER 18, 2024
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION AND DIRECTION REGARDING ADOPTION OF A TOWN CHARTER – TO INCLUDE APPOINTMENT OF A

STANDING SUBCOMMITTEE OF THE CITY COUNCIL

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Council receive the staff report, discuss and provide direction regarding adoption of a Town Charter, to include consideration of appointment of a Standing Subcommittee of the City Council.

BACKGROUND
At the June 5, 2024 Study Session the City Council discussed the possibility of pursuing a Town Charter (Staff Report Link HERE). Following discussion, the Council directed that staff return in September with a recommendation on next steps for discussion by the Council.

ANALYSIS
Attached to this Staff Report for Council reference are the following:
- Attachment 1 – League of Cities Charter City Toolkit
- Attachment 2 – Table Comparing General Law to Charter City - Attachment 3 – Government Code Section 34450 (governing adoption of charters) - Attachment 4 – Simple Town Charter
- Attachment 5 – Draft Charter Prepared by Council Subcommittee in 2013 The June 5, 2024 Staff Report provided an analysis of pros and cons of enacting a Town Charter.

Following discussion in June, the Council directed that staff return with a recommendation for next steps.

Drafting of a Charter
Pursuant to Government Code Section 34450 et seq., a Charter may only be adopted, amended or repealed by majority voter approval. A charter can be drafted by a “charter commission” (elected

Page 103 of 1188 ends

Charter City Discussion
SEPTEMBER 18, 2024

Page 2 of 4 ends

by the voters), a charter committee (appointed by the City Council), or by the City Council itself.

When drafted by a charter committee of a City Council or the City Council itself, the Council decides whether or not to submit the draft charter to the electorate. If a charter commission drafts the charter, the commission is entitled to submit the charter to the voters with or without Council approval.

Timeline
With an elected commission, there is an extended timeline for adoption. This is due to the election of members of the commission itself in addition to the election for the charter. This would place the timing for the elected commission on the November 2026 ballot and the charter itself, assuming the work is completed, on the November 2028 ballot. Elections cannot take place at special elections.

For a charter drafted by the Council (either through a Council Subcommittee or by the Council itself), it must be submitted to the electorate for approval. The earliest this could take place would be November 2026. As noted in the June 5, 2024 Report, there are numerous timelines prescribed in State law for process. The City Council cannot vote to place a charter on the ballot until 21 days.

After it holds at least two public hearings on the matter, with each hearing preceded by 21 days’ notice and the second public hearing at least 30 days after the first. Typically, this timeline prescribes that the final version of any charter must be prepared no later than the June preceding the November election (June 2026).

Advantages and Disadvantages
There are advantages of charter city status. While many historic advantages have been eroded over time by State law, the list below still provides advantage to local charter cities:
- The Town would be able to exercise greater local control over municipal affairs, as allowed by the State.
- As to municipal elections, the City Council could prescribe longer or shorter filing periods, longer or shorter notices of elections, different nominating procedures, different terms of office, district elections, different procedures for voting by mail or other election procedures.
- The Town would be able to charge different fees or compensation than that which is prescribed in State law, coupled with the constitutional authority to regulate the granting of franchises.
- Public works contracting procedures on Town-financed projects could be made more flexible, as could procedures with respect to bond financing. - Ordinance adoption processes could be modified.
- A charter city can override statutory limitations placed upon the levy of a business tax and allows for more options with respect to property transfer taxes. - A charter city has some additional flexibility, but not unlimited flexibility, with respect to planning and land use.

While there are no actual legal disadvantages with charter city status, the Council should take the following under consideration. Page 104 of 1188
Charter City Discussion
SEPTEMBER 18, 2024

Page 3 of 4 ends

- There is time, effort and expense required to draft a charter and hold the election. - A local charter will not be a barrier to matters determined by the State to be “of statewide concern” as has recently been the case with the numerous housing laws recently promulgated by the State.
- The transition from operation as a “general law” city to a “charter city” may require some adjustment in other processes and procedures. Ultimately, there may be additional tests and reviews for conformity to a Town Charter that did not exist prior to adoption of a charter. - The simple or complex nature of any adopted charter may result in situations where matters are debated as to whether they are municipal concerns (i.e. local charter) or of statewide concern. This could give rise to legal debate and conflict when seeking resolution.

Future Amendments
Once adopted, an existing charter may be amended or repealed only by a majority vote of the electorate. A measure to amend or repeal a charter may be placed on the ballot by the City Council or by initiative petition of the electorate.

Next Steps
If the Council is desirous of pursuing adoption of a charter, staff does not recommend the formation of a charter commission. Staff recommends that the Council consider discussion as a full Council or as a Standing Subcommittee, Standing Subcommittee is preferred. Either of these options will allow the participation of the public in discussions as all meetings of the Council or Standing Subcommittees are Brown Act compliant meetings (agendas, minutes regularly scheduled meetings). At a minimum, the City Manager, City Attorney, and City Clerk would be involved at the staff level.

If the Council desires to move forward with a Standing Subcommittee, appointments could be made at this meeting along with direction regarding a Subcommittee charter. Staff would recommend the following for Council’s consideration:
• Create a Standing Subcommittee of the Council by appointing two members of the City Council
• Direct the charter of the Subcommittee as follows:
o Work with staff to create a draft charter for the Council’s future consideration with a target of November 2026 presentation to the electorate o Staff liaisons to the Subcommittee shall include the City Manger, City Attorney and City Clerk
o Work of the Subcommittee shall be conducted at regularly noticed public meetings o Subcommittee shall report out to the City Council at regular intervals

CHAPTER 1: HISTORY OF MUNICIPAL HOME RULE
The desire for home rule is an important part of the history of California. There is a common misconception among even some California city officials that only charter cities possess home rule powers. Both general law and charter cities possess home rule. This chapter describes the historical evolution of the constitutional municipal home rule doctrine in California in three separate stages before embarking in later chapters on explaining in more detail the additional home rule powers of charter cities. The tension between cities and the state has been with us since the dawn of statehood, and it has manifested itself in various state constitutional amendments over time that reiterate how home rule is really the birthright of every California city.

A. Before Home Rule — 1850–1879
City governments already existed when California became a state in 1850. In some areas they took the form of the Mexican alcades (who embodied the role of mayor, judge, and sheriff) or local legislative bodies like the 15-member assembly created in San Francisco before it was declared illegal by a military governor in June 1849 when he called the first Constitutional Convention.1 The 1849 California Constitution gave the Legislature the exclusive power to establish cities and to enlarge or restrict city powers.2
This naturally led to extensive state involvement in city affairs, including the appointment of special commissions to actually manage the property and funds of Sacramento, San Jose, and San Francisco, as well as other legislation directing cities to pay special claims of parties that provided political inducements to the Legislature.3 B. All Cities Granted Inherent Home Rule Powers to Legislate Without Legislative Grant of Authority — 1879
State meddling in city affairs in those first 30 years caused the deep resentment throughout the state that ultimately led to the 1879 Constitutional Convention. During that convention, delegates borrowed heavily from the home rule provisions of the constitution of Missouri, the first state to grant home rule powers to its cities. Incorporating that constitution’s provisions almost verbatim, the California Constitution of 1879 banned special legislation, banned special act incorporations, and granted the power to frame freeholder charters to communities with at least 100,000 people4 The 1879 Constitution also took the power to impose local taxes away from the Legislature with the intention “to bring matters of a local concern home to the people.”5 In addition to these changes, the most significant home rule provision in the 1879 amendments was article XI, section 11 (now art. XI, § 7), which provides a general grant of inherent home rule power to every city — general and charter cities alike — to “make or enforce within its limits all local, police, sanitary, and other ordinances or regulations not in conflict with the general laws.” Sometimes this provision of the California Constitution is called the police power. The California Supreme Court declared later that the drafters’ intent was “ … to emancipate municipal governments from the authority and control formerly exercised over them by the Legislature.”6 Chapter 1

LEAGUE OF CALIFORNIA CITIES: CHARTER CITY TOOL KIT 3
The 1879 home rule amendment finally freed cities from the need to seek specific state legislation to authorize their legislative acts on traditional municipal matters. Since the constitution empowered them to act without prior permission of the Legislature, cities instead simply had to inquire whether a proposed ordinance conflicted with a general state law. Years later the California Court of Appeal described the effect of this amendment: “[t]he constitution has, by direct grant, vested in them [cities] plenary power to provide and enforce such … regulations as they determine shall be necessary for the health, peace, comfort and happiness of their inhabitants, provided such regulations do not conflict with the general law. And the Legislature has no authority to limit the exercise of the power thus directly conferred upon cities, counties and towns by the organic law.”7 Former California Supreme Court Associate Justice and Hastings College of the Law Professor Joseph Grodin, in his authoritative study of the California Constitution, explains how section 7 changed everything for cities and counties:

Section 7 presents the most widely used of the home rule provisions of the California Constitution. In contrast to sections 4 and 5, it applies equally to all cities and counties, regardless of their charter status. Section 7 empowers cities and counties to use their general authority, called their police power, to control and regulate any matter or activity that is otherwise an appropriate subject for governmental concern.

The drafters intended that local authorities “ought to be left to do all those things that in their judgment are necessary to be done, and that are not in conflict with the general laws of the state.” The decision was made then not to restrict local governments narrowly to those specified powers that are overtly granted to them by the legislature but to allow them to exercise whatever powers appeared necessary, without the need to request legislative authorization before taking action.”8 (Emphasis added.) In summary, under article XI, section 7, all cities are free to legislate on a matter unless it conflicts with a general law of the state and is, therefore, said to be preempted by the state law. What constitutes a conflict? The California Supreme Court articulated the basic analysis in upholding the validity of a city ordinance banning medical marijuana dispensaries and cultivation. In summary, it said:
Cities have constitutionally granted powers to regulate land use and other traditional local matters. Absent a clear indication of preemptive intent from the Legislature, local regulations are not preempted.
A local law conflicts with a general state law if the local legislation (1) duplicates the state law, (2) contradicts the state law (i.e., requires what state law forbids or prohibits what state law requires), or (3) enters an area that is fully occupied by general state law. A local ordinance does not conflict with state law if it is reasonably possible to comply with both the state and local laws.
The courts are reluctant to infer legislative intent to preempt local regulations, and there is a presumption of validity of the local ordinance against an attack of state preemption when there is a significant local interest to be served that may differ from one locality to another.9
The 1879 home rule
amendment finally freed cities
from the need to seek specific
state legislation to authorize
their legislative acts on
traditional municipal matters.

CHAPTER 1: HISTORY OF MUNICIPAL HOME RULE
C. Voter Approved Charters Allowed to Trump State Law Over Municipal Affairs — 1896–1914
While the 1879 Constitution gave all cities basic home rule powers subject to conflicting state laws, over the following decade it became clear that cities needed the ability to engage in certain core municipal functions despite the conflicting general laws of the state. The 1896 Constitution introduced the concept of municipal affairs. The authority to adopt a charter is found in section 3 of article XI, which also contains this provision in subparagraph (a) explaining the status of the charter vis-à-vis state law: “The provisions of a charter are the law of the State and have the force and effect of legislative enactments.” In 1899, the California Supreme Court explained that provisions relating to charter cities “were enacted upon the principle that the municipality itself knew better what it wanted and needed than the state at large, and to give that municipality the exclusive privilege and right to enact direct legislation which would carry out and satisfy its wants and needs.”10
The 75 years of constitutional history leading to the authorization for voters to approve city charters that could, depending on the subject, supersede the general laws of the state, was explained by the California Supreme Court in 1992:
[I]n 1896 article XI was amended in two significant respects. Former section 6 was revised to read as follows: “Cities or towns heretofore or hereafter organized, and all charters thereof framed or adopted by authority of the constitution, except in municipal affairs, shall be subject to and controlled by general laws.” (emphasis added.) In addition, former section 8 was adopted, allowing consolidated charter city and county governments to regulate “the manner in which, the times at which, and the terms for which the several county officers shall be elected ... [and] for their compensation ... .” “What was the good to be gained by this amendment? The answer is common, everyday history. It was to prevent existing provisions of charters from being frittered away by general laws. It was to enable municipalities to conduct their own business and control their own affairs to the fullest possible extent in their own way. It was enacted upon the principle that the municipality itself knew better what it wanted and needed than the state at large, and to give that municipality the exclusive privilege and right to enact direct legislation which would carry out and satisfy its wants and needs. ... This amendment, then, was intended to give municipalities the sole right to regulate, control, and govern their internal conduct independent of general laws ... .” [A]rticle XI [in 1914] was revised to give charter cities the power “to make and enforce all laws and regulations in respect to municipal affairs, subject only to the restrictions and limitations provided in their several charters, and in respect to other matters they shall be subject to and controlled by general laws.” (Former section 8 of the same article was likewise amended by the insertion of a similar provision: “It shall be competent in any charter framed under the authority of this section to provide that the municipality governed thereunder may make and enforce all laws and regulations in respect to municipal affairs, subject only to the restrictions and limitations provided in their several charters and in respect to all other matters they shall be subject to general laws.”11 “The provisions of a charter
are the law of the State and
have the force and effect of
legislative enactments.” Cal.

Const., art. XI, § 3(a).

LEAGUE OF CALIFORNIA CITIES: CHARTER CITY TOOL KIT 5
In addition to the jurisdiction granted in subdivision (a) of section 5 of article XI to make and enforce all ordinances and regulations concerning municipal affairs, subdivision (b) of section 5 of article XI specifically identifies four subjects that can be included in a charter: (1) a city police force; (2) subgovernment in all or part of the city; (3) conduct of city elections; and (4) election, appointment, removal, and compensation of municipal officers and employees whose compensation is paid by the city.12
The California Constitution provides no definition of what is or is not a municipal affair. The California Supreme Court noted that “the constitutional concept of municipal affairs is not a fixed or static quantity … [but one that] changes with the changing conditions upon which it is to operate … our cases display a growing recognition that home rule is a means of adjusting the political relationship between state and local governments in discrete areas of conflict.”13 What was once a matter of local concern can later become a matter of statewide concern, controlled by the general laws of the state.14 The Court also made it clear that this is a legal matter of state constitutional interpretation for the courts and not solely a factual one.15 Later chapters will address the options available for adopting a charter and what are and are not municipal affairs as determined by the California Supreme Court.

D. Home Rule Authority Granted to All Cities over Public Works, Utilities and Public Property, Improvements and Funds — 1911–1970
Until 1911, it was believed that only charter cities could operate a public utility, so the Legislature proposed and the people enacted section 9 (formerly section 19) of article XI, providing broad plenary authority to any city to “establish, purchase, and operate public works to furnish its inhabitants with light, water, power, heat, transportation, or means of communications.”16 The section allows cities to provide similar services in other cities with their consent.

In 1970, voters further amended this section to effectively allow cities to issue franchises to persons or corporations to provide such services “ … upon conditions and under regulations that the city may prescribe under its organic law.” These franchise powers must be construed, however, in conjunction with the broad authority over such activities granted to both the Legislature and the Public Utilities Commission by article XII. On the distribution of powers between the state and cities on this subject, however, article XII, section 8 is quite clear:

A city, county, or other public body may not regulate matters over which the Legislature grants regulatory power of the Commission. This section does not affect the power over public utilities relating to the making and enforcement of police, sanitary, and other regulations concerning municipal affairs pursuant to a city charter existing on October 10, 1911, unless that power has been revoked by the city’s electors, or the right of any city to grant franchises for public utilities or other businesses on terms, conditions, and in the manner prescribed by law. (Emphasis added.)

CHAPTER 1: HISTORY OF MUNICIPAL HOME RULE
Finally, general law and charter cities alike are protected by the provisions of article XI, section 11, subdivision (a), of the California Constitution that prohibits just the types of special commissions to control local property and funds that so outraged Californians prior to the 1879 Constitutional Convention. It states: “the Legislature may not delegate to a private person or body power to make, control, appropriate, supervise, or interfere with county or municipal corporation improvements, money, or property, or to levy taxes or assessments, or perform municipal functions.” This provision was one of the two constitutional limitations on the power of the Legislature over cities and counties that compelled the California Supreme Court to strike down a 2000 state law that attempted to delegate final decisions in public safety labor negotiations to a private arbitration panel.17
E. California Home Rule Today
Today the California Constitution authorizes both general law and charter cities to: (1) make and enforce all local laws and regulations not in conflict with general state laws (art. XI, § 7); (2) to establish, purchase, and operate public works and utilities or franchise others to do so (art. XI, § 9); and to be free from state legislation delegating to a private person or body control over city property, funds, tax levies and municipal functions (art. XI, § 11).

Cities with voter-approved charters have additional home rule authority or supremacy over their municipal affairs, police, subgovernments, city elections, and their elected and appointed city officials and employees (art. XI, § 5). The provisions of a city charter and the ordinances adopted by a charter city prevail over general state law in areas that a court determines are municipal affairs, including the specific areas enumerated in section 5, subdivision (b) of article XI.18 As to matters of statewide concern, however, charter cities remain subject to state law.19 Therefore, whether a charter city may act independent of state general law in a particular domain, including the specific areas enumerated in section 5, subdivision (b) of article XI, depends upon a court’s determination of whether it is a municipal affair or a matter of statewide concern.

CHAPTER 2: A CHARTER CITY’S ADDITIONAL HOME RULE AUTHORITY Chapter 2
A CHARTER CITY’S ADDITIONAL HOME RULE AUTHORITY
This chapter will discuss more fully the origins of city charters, why a city may want to have a charter, how the charter home rule provision has been interpreted by the courts and ultimately, for practical purposes, what power a charter city possesses.

A. What is a Charter?
Charters have been used since medieval times in Europe and more recently in the United States and elsewhere to establish and empower cities and other institutions such as colleges and universities, companies, academies, and clubs. The British Crown has reportedly issued over 980 royal charters — the first of which was for the Town of Tain in 1066 — and continues to issue charters today.1
A charter is granted by a sovereign authority such as a monarch, parliament, legislature, or by direct public vote. After only a few months of difficulty with granting city charters in early 1850, the California Legislature gave the job to county courts and then in 1856 to county boards of supervisors.2
In 1879, the California Constitution was amended to authorize voters to approve freehold charters3
in cities with over 100,000 residents.4 This authority was subsequently expanded through later amendments to give the voters in any city the right to approve a charter for their city.

The dictionary defines a charter as “a document issued by a government that gives rights to a person or group; a document which declares that a city, town, school, or corporation has been established; and a document that describes the basic laws, principles, etc. of a group.”5 California
city charters today most closely resemble the last definition in that the municipal charter provides the highest legal framework for the purpose, governance, and operation of the city government in all its most fundamental dimensions. There is one important difference between the dictionary definition of a charter and the charter of a California city: the charter of a California city is a limitation on authority, not a grant. The grant of authority over municipal affairs is found in the Constitution itself.

The purpose of a city charter, as one of the authors of the National Civic League’s Model City Charter, Luther H. Gulick, wrote: “is to present, in the form of a legal document, a general plan of municipal government which is (a) democratic — that is to say responsive to the electorate and the community — and at the same time (b) capable of doing the work of the city effectively and translating the voters’ intentions into efficient administrative action as promptly and economically as possible.”6
A city charter can have two purposes: to explain how the city will exercise its discretion over the matters affecting the city, and to limit or constrain the ways in which the city is governed and its municipal affairs are managed. It is what some charters refer to as the organic law of the city with city-council adopted ordinances containing many of the detailed laws and regulations.

Preamble of Downey City
Charter: “We, the people of
the City of Downey, State
of California, do ordain and
establish this Charter as the
organic law of said City under
the State Constitution.”

LEAGUE OF CALIFORNIA CITIES: CHARTER CITY TOOL KIT 9
B. Interpretation of a Charter: Limitation of Authority not a Grant of Authority As noted in Chapter 1, California’s charter home rule provision is contained in the California Constitution, article XI, section 5. This section reserves to a charter city the right to adopt and enforce laws (i.e. ordinances) regarding municipal affairs, subject only to the conflicting provisions in the state or federal constitutions, federal laws, or state statutes in matters of statewide concern.7
There is a common misconception that the authority of a charter city is derived from its charter.

The home rule authority of a charter city flows directly from the California Constitution; the charter itself defines and limits how the city will use that authority. “The charter operates not as a grant of power, but as an instrument of limitation and restriction on the exercise of power over all municipal affairs which the city is assumed to possess; and the enumeration of powers does not constitute an exclusion or limitation.”8
In plain English this means that a charter city has authority over all municipal affairs and does not need to enumerate those powers in the charter.

Rather, the charter describes how those powers are carried out and may limit how those powers are exercised. A charter often addresses some but not all municipal affairs. For example, a charter might provide for a strong mayor form of government, but a council-adopted ordinance might provide for elections by district. As the California Supreme Court said: “accordingly, the city is empowered to exercise full control over its municipal affairs unaffected by general [state] laws on the same subject matters and subject only to the limitations found in the Constitution and the City Charter.”10
A city charter is sometimes described as the city’s constitution. However, it is important to dig a little deeper into this comparison. A city charter is similar to the California Constitution and not to the federal Constitution. Unlike the U.S. Constitution, which operates as a grant of power to Congress, the California Constitution is a limitation or restriction on the power of the Legislature.11 Congress may not legislate in an area unless it finds authority in the federal Constitution. On the other hand, the California Legislature may legislate in any area unless it finds a restriction or limitation on its authority in the California Constitution. A city charter is comparable to the California Constitution, is governed by the same principles, and operates as a limitation or restriction on the inherent power of the city council of a charter city to legislate on municipal affairs.12
Limitations and restrictions in a city charter are interpreted in favor of the city council’s exercise of power over municipal affairs and against any limitation or restriction that is not expressly stated in the charter.13 This means that a city council or its voters looking to limit a city council’s authority to act should draft the restrictions as explicitly as possible. The courts will not imply a restriction on the exercise of a charter city’s power over municipal affairs.14 The restrictions placed by the voters in a charter are an expression of the singularly local character of the community. Here are a few examples:
The Porterville City Charter limits the purposes for which special taxes may be imposed to the support and maintenance of the fire department, acquisition of public improvements, public libraries, parks, and music and entertainment.15 The voters of the City of Napa amended the city charter to prohibit a city-owned park from being used or developed for any purpose other than passive recreation and open space.16 Example: The Napa City Charter
includes a typical city charter
provision to explicitly implement
this constitutional authority. It
provides: The City of Napa shall
have and may exercise all powers
which now are or may hereafter
be conferred upon municipalities
by the Constitution and laws of
the State of California, and which
it would be lawful for this Charter
specifically to enumerate, as
fully and completely as though
such powers were specifically
enumerated herein, and no
enumeration of particular powers
in and by this Charter shall be

CHAPTER 2: A CHARTER CITY’S ADDITIONAL HOME RULE AUTHORITY The voters of the City of Newport Beach prohibited the city council from authorizing any red light camera or other automated traffic enforcement system.17 The Santa Barbara City Charter prohibits the city council from approving development that exceeds established building height limits in various parts of the city.18 The Watsonville City Charter includes a limitation on the total dollar amount of bonded debt that may be issued.19
In addition to being contrary to the legal underpinnings of a charter, using a charter as a grant of authority will not necessarily prevail over a limitation otherwise imposed on the authority of the city council. For example, the provision of the Los Angeles City Charter that vested authority to manage the fiscal affairs of the city in the city council did not trump the binding arbitration provision of an MOU agreed to by the city council.20
C. Municipal Affairs
The California Constitution gives charter cities the power to “make and enforce all ordinances and regulations in respect to municipal affairs;” however, it does not define the term municipal affair.

And although the Constitution enumerates four (sometimes called core) municipal affairs, what is a municipal affair is not limited to this enumeration and these four subjects are not unassailable municipal affairs.21 The phrase municipal affairs has defeated efforts at a defining formulation since it was added to the Constitution in 1896. The courts continue to discern whether a particular subject is a municipal affair, over which a charter city has authority, or is a matter of statewide concern, over which the Legislature has authority, on a case-by-case basis. Although the courts give the Legislature’s intentions in this regard great weight, the Legislature is neither empowered to determine what a municipal affair is nor to transform a municipal affair into one of statewide concern.22
Until 1991, the approach employed by courts in defining a municipal affair was to categorize certain subjects as municipal affairs. More recently, however, the courts have treated what is a municipal affair as fluid and changing over time as local issues may become statewide concerns, and vice versa. The constitutional concept of municipal affairs is not a fixed quantity, but one that changes with the changing conditions upon which it is to operate. The California Supreme Court has said the task of determining whether a given activity is a municipal affair or one of statewide concern is an ad hoc inquiry in light of the facts and circumstances surrounding each case and entails a four-step analysis to determine what is a municipal affair, which can be summarized as follows:23 Step One: Does an actual conflict exist between the local law and the state law? (If the answer is no, there is no need to go further and determine if the matter is municipal affair or statewide concern.)
Step Two: If yes, does the local law implicate a municipal affair? Step Three: If yes, does the state law involve extramural concerns that require paramount state control?
Step Four: If yes, is the state statute reasonably related and narrowly tailored to the resolution of the statewide concern?

LEAGUE OF CALIFORNIA CITIES: CHARTER CITY TOOL KIT 11
If the answer to all of the questions is yes, then it is a matter of statewide concern and the city is preempted from adopting and enforcing an ordinance or charter provision that conflicts with the state law. If the answer to either of the last two questions is no, then the state law does not address an area of statewide concern and the local law addresses a municipal affair that is beyond reach of the Legislature and state statutes.

1. Municipal Affairs Listed in the Constitution
California Constitution, article XI, section 5, subdivision (b), approved at the special election in June 1970, also provides a non-exclusive list of four municipal affairs: (1) regulation and government of a city police force; (2) sub-government in all or part of the city; (3) conduct of city elections; and (4) election, appointment, removal and compensation of municipal officers and employees whose compensation is paid by the city. Each of these areas is subject to the four-step test explained above.
a. Regulation and government of a city police force
In a general law city, the police department is under the control of the chief of police.24 In contrast, under article XI, section 5, subdivision (b), a charter city may, for example, establish a police commission that is authorized to review and make recommendations to the public, city council and city manager concerning policies, practices and procedures in relation to the city’s police department.25 The San Jose City Charter establishes the office of independent police auditor to review police department investigations of complaints against police officers, to make recommendations with regard to police department policies and procedures, and to conduct public outreach to assist the community with the process and procedures for investigation of complaints against police officers. The San Jose City Charter prohibits the city council and mayor from dictating the appointment or removal of any employee appointed by the independent police auditor.26 The San Bernardino City Charter places the police and fire departments under the supervision of the mayor.27 Be aware that the specific reference to this municipal affair in the Constitution has not prevented the courts from determining that the Police Officers Procedural Bill of Rights applies to a charter city because the state law interfered “only minimally on a charter city’s authority to regulate and govern its police force.”28
b. Sub-government
The Government Code prescribes the form of a general law city’s government. The government of a general law city is vested in a city council of at least five members, a city clerk, a city treasurer, a police chief, a fire chief, and any subordinate officers or employees provided by law.29 A general law city’s registered voters may adopt an ordinance that provides for a different number of councilmembers.30 Absent formal action by the city council or the voters of a general law city, the council retains authority over the management of the city.

However, the city council or voters may pass an ordinance establishing a city manager form of government.31 In a charter city, the charter can provide for any number of council members, a directly elected mayor, term limits, and any form of government that a general law city may have.32 In addition to these options, a charter city can opt for a strong mayor form of government, which typically gives the mayor the unilateral authority to hire and fire the city manager and department heads and present a budget to the city council.

12 LEAGUE OF CALIFORNIA CITIES: CHARTER CITY TOOL KIT
CHAPTER 2: A CHARTER CITY’S ADDITIONAL HOME RULE AUTHORITY There are many examples of sub-government structures in charter cities. Here are a few:
Santa Rosa: Section 10 of the city charter requires the city council to establish a district commission encompassing the entire city. The commission is composed of representatives of seven to 14 districts whose boundaries are established by the council.

The representatives of each district advise the council regarding various city matters including public safety issues, capital improvement budget priorities for their district, and neighborhood planning matters.
Chula Vista: Section 609 of the city charter establishes a civil service commission. Santa Clara: Section 1012 of the city charter establishes a board of library trustees. Riverside: Section 810 of the city charter establishes a community police review commission.

For a general law city, the Government Code states that a majority of the city council constitutes a quorum for the transaction of business.33 Additionally, resolutions, orders for the payment of money, and all ordinances require a recorded majority vote of the total membership of the city council.34 Certain actions require a supermajority vote.

In contrast, charter cities may establish their own voting and quorum requirements. For example, the Richmond City Charter requires five members to vote affirmatively to authorize expenditures of $1,000 or more.35 However, there is certain legislation requiring supermajority votes that applies to charter cities as well as to general law cities. For example, a charter city may not commence an eminent domain proceeding until its city council has adopted a resolution of necessity by a vote of two-thirds of all the members of the city council, unless a greater vote is required by statute, charter, or ordinance.36 General law cities may establish their own rules regarding the procedures for adopting, amending, or repealing resolutions,37 other than the rule that resolutions require a recorded majority vote of the total membership of the city council.38 The same is not true for adopting ordinances, which procedures are governed by the Government Code for general law cities.

Ordinances require two readings: one introduction and, at least five days thereafter, a second reading and vote.39 Ordinances may be introduced at any type of meeting but must be passed only at a regular meeting, not at a special meeting.40 There is an exception to that rule for urgency ordinances, which may be passed immediately upon introduction and either at a regular or special meeting with a four-fifths vote of the city council and an urgency finding.41 Ordinances must be signed by the mayor and attested by the city clerk.42 The city clerk must cause publication of each ordinance, within 15 days after passage, in a newspaper of general circulation published and circulated in the city.43 Ordinances take effect 30 days after their final passage, with certain listed exceptions.44
Like general law cities, charter cities may establish their own procedures for adopting, amending or repealing resolutions.45 Unlike general law cities, however, charter cities also have the authority to opt out of general laws for enacting local ordinances, as the mode and manner of passing ordinances have been deemed a municipal affair.46 The Seal Beach City Charter recognizes that in periods of emergency resulting from a disaster, the city council needs the power to provide for the continuity of city operations, etc. Section 107 of the Agenda Item 12 CC Agenda 01-07-20 Attachment 1 Agenda Item 12 Page No. 200 CC Agenda 01-07-20

LEAGUE OF CALIFORNIA CITIES: CHARTER CITY TOOL KIT 13
charter requires the city council to conform to the provisions of the charter except so as to allow the council to make purchases and enter into contracts without calling for bids, to the extent the emergency so requires.
c. Elections
Conduct of city elections gives charter cities the authority to regulate the manner of electing municipal officers. It provides plenary authority over the manner in which, the method by which, the times at which, and the terms for which the several municipal officers shall be elected. Of course, this does not absolve a charter city from complying with the equal protection clauses and other parts of the state and federal Constitutions. For example, a charter city may not ban write-in voting47 or allow incumbents on a ballot to state occupations but disallow challengers from doing the same.48 Further, courts have held that at least some portions of the California Voting Rights Act apply to charter cities.49 (See discussion in Chapter 4.)
A charter city, so long as it does not violate the state and federal constitutions as described above, is free to establish election rules if those rules do not actually conflict with general law. For example, the San Jose City Charter makes the city council the judge of the election and qualifications of its members with the power to subpoena witnesses, require production of evidence, etc.50 Likewise, a number of charter cities provide for a redistricting commission to establish city council districts in accordance with the census.51 If there is a conflict with general law, the charter city provisions prevail unless the Legislature has found a need for paramount state control over the issue and the general law is both reasonably related to the area of statewide concern and narrowly tailored to resolve the problem being addressed as a statewide concern.52
In the context of local elections, the balancing of those issues has led courts to uphold many charter city rules for local elections.
d. Officers and Employees
California Constitution, article XI, section 5, subdivision (b) grants extensive authority over municipal officers and employees as follows:

It shall be competent in all city charters to provide … the manner in which, the method by which, the times at which and the terms for which the several municipal officers and employees whose compensation is paid by the city shall be elected or appointed, and for their removal, and for their compensation, and for the number of deputies, clerks and other employees each shall have, and for the compensation, method of appointment, qualifications, tenure of office and removal of such deputies, clerks and other employees.

Example: Courts have upheld the following charter provisions:
• A comprehensive charter elections program that did not require the mailing of candidate qualification statements where a statewide Elections Code rule purported to require a city clerk to mail such statements.53
• A comprehensive local campaign charter provision that limited campaign expenditures for local office as a condition of receiving public funds for such campaigning where there was a statewide prohibition against public funding of election campaigns.54 • A charter city placing a general tax before the voters by simple majority vote of the city council as opposed to the two-thirds vote requirement for a general law city council.55
Likewise, the California Attorney General has opined that a charter city may provide for a partisan municipal election (where the candidates are identified by their political party affiliation) whereas a general law city may not.56

14 LEAGUE OF CALIFORNIA CITIES: CHARTER CITY TOOL KIT
CHAPTER 2: A CHARTER CITY’S ADDITIONAL HOME RULE AUTHORITY The California Constitution does not mandate what city offices and subordinate offices a charter city has to have, but it recognizes the right of a charter city to make this choice. That fact does not relieve charter cities from complying with preemptive state laws on matters of statewide concern. For example, the courts have recognized that, in a charter city, the charter controls the organization of the police department.57 As the California Attorney General has opined, there is no constitutional or statutory requirement that a charter city have a chief of police.58 Further, where a charter city does in fact establish the office of chief of police, the chief, like all subordinate officers, is subject to the Public Safety Officers Procedural Bill of Rights.59
A charter city is likewise able to establish rules and conditions for service by its municipal officials.61 General law does cover how to fill a vacancy in public office and applies to charter cities in only limited respects.62 A charter city has plenary authority to legislate in this area as well.63 In addition, a charter may establish different rules than mandated by general law for dealing with officials holding incompatible offices,64 for conflicts of interest,65 and for incompatible activities, which may result in a forfeiture of public office.66 Further, several charter cities have charter provisions that limit city council members from being paid city employees during their term of office or for some period after leaving office.67 Several city charters include provisions for impartial arbitration for fire department employees.68 Other charters create offices such as city auditor69 or public information officer.70 The Santa Cruz City Charter includes a section on the process the city council must follow for layoffs.71

2. More About Municipal Affairs
In addition to these four core municipal affairs listed in California Constitution, article XI, section 5, subdivision (b), from time to time, courts have determined that certain other areas are municipal affairs. These provide examples of how courts have evaluated the distinction between a municipal affair and a statewide concern, based on the four-step analysis summarized above. Occasionally, the face of a state statute identifies a conflict between the local law and the state law (step one of the four-step analysis) when the statute specifically excludes charter cities from its scope. a. Public Contracting
The Public Contract Code requires that a general law city and any charter city that has not explicitly exempted itself from the Public Contract Code (see below) publicly bid any project that exceeds $5,000.72 There are requirements for public notice, and then the city must award the contract for that project to the lowest responsible bidder.73 Alternatively, a city may adopt the Uniform Public Construction Cost Accounting Act (UPCCAA).74 Under those statutes, there are three tiers of contracts: (1) the least expensive public projects may be performed by the employees of a public agency by force account, negotiated contract, or purchase order; (2) more expensive public projects may be awarded to a contractor by following an expedited bid procedure; and (3) the most expensive public projects must be awarded to a contractor after following more timely and onerous bidding procedures.75 Either way, a city operating under the standard public bidding statutes or the UPCCAA has to publicly bid at least some of its public works project agreements, and must follow strict procedures for all of its public works contracts.

Example: An example of a
municipal officer created by
charter that is not identified in the
general law can be found in the
Stockton City Charter. Stockton
has created the position of city
auditor, who is responsible for
the annual post audits of fiscal
transactions, performance audits,
special audits and investigations,
and is given other duties and
specified powers.60 In addition,
the Folsom City Charter and
the Shafter City Charter give
the authority to appoint the city
attorney to the city manager and
not the city council.

Page 122 of 1188 ends

LEAGUE OF CALIFORNIA CITIES: CHARTER CITY TOOL KIT 15
Charter cities, however, may opt out of the Public Contract Code’s public bidding requirements.76 To opt out, the city’s charter or an ordinance must expressly exempt the city from the Public Contract Code or include a provision that conflicts with a provision in the Public Contract Code.77 This allows charter cities to have different noticing requirements, use different claims resolution procedures,78 and generally structure their public works bidding process as they see fit, if they even require public bidding. This can be time-saving and costcutting. For examples of charter cities that have opted out of the Public Contract Code’s public bidding requirements, see section 608 of the Placentia City Charter and section 1217 of the San Jose City Charter.

Additionally, while contracts for professional services such as private architectural, landscape architectural, engineering, environmental, land surveying, or construction project management firms do not need to be competitively bid, general law cities must award such contracts “on the basis of demonstrated competence and on the professional qualifications necessary for the satisfactory performance of the services required.”79 There is no clear court opinion on whether charter cities may opt out of this statute, but a San Diego City Attorney’s opinion suggests that charter cities may establish their own rules for awarding professional services contracts that are locally funded and local in nature.80 b. Prevailing Wage
Prevailing wage law requires contractors and subcontractors on public works projects over $1,000 to pay their workers’ wages as set by the Director of Industrial Relations.81 In this context, the term public works refers to construction, alteration, demolition, installation, or repair work done under contract and paid for in whole or in part out of public funds, with particular exceptions.82 General law cities must require that their contractors and subcontractors pay prevailing wages on public works projects.

It is unclear how much higher prevailing wages are from standard industry wages. In a case between the State Building and Construction Trades Council of California and the City of Vista, city staff estimated up to a 20 percent increase in the cost of public works projects due to the payment of prevailing wages.83 The California Institute for County Government has conducted research and determined that “prevailing wages are substantially higher than market wages.

In fact, California’s published prevailing wage rates are about one-third to one-half higher than comparable market wages.”84 The executive summary of that study explains:

We found that the prevailing wage requirements increased overall project costs by about 11 percent, even while controlling for other factors known to influence costs such as regional variations in construction costs and characteristics of the structures themselves.

We further found that the impact from these expanded prevailing wage requirements varies across the state, with some areas expected to experience cost increases of as little as six percent while others will likely experience increases of more than 15 percent.

Thus, requiring prevailing wages may affect the cost of a public works project significantly.

Additionally, prevailing wage law includes many other regulations, such as the requirement that contractors on public works projects hire apprentices from state-approved apprenticeship programs.

16 LEAGUE OF CALIFORNIA CITIES: CHARTER CITY TOOL KIT
CHAPTER 2: A CHARTER CITY’S ADDITIONAL HOME RULE AUTHORITY The California Supreme Court has determined that the wage levels of contract workers constructing locally funded public works were a municipal affair rather than a matter of statewide concern.85 Thus, charter cities are not subject to the state’s prevailing wage law for locally funded public works projects and have the discretion to require or not require the payment of prevailing wages for such projects. Prevailing wages may still be required where such payment is compelled by the terms of a state or a federal grant or the contract does not involve a municipal affair. Examples of contracts that do not involve municipal affairs include regional projects such as a regional municipal utility project located outside of the jurisdiction, an animal services facility that serves multiple cities, or a regional sewer plant. Where cities have formed a joint powers authority (JPA), it is unclear whether the JPA must pay prevailing wages on a JPA project, particularly where there is at least one charter city and one general law city. In such cases, however, a JPA project is likely to be a regional project, and thus subject to payment of prevailing wages on that ground.

Although charter cities may opt not to require the payment of prevailing wages, Senate Bill 7 (Stats. 2013, ch. 794 adding section 1782 to the Labor Code) imposes consequences for doing so. For further discussion on prevailing wages and Senate Bill 7, see Chapter 5. c. Fiscal Affairs

1. Taxes
Until the early 1990s, charter cities were able to rely on a broad power of taxation as a municipal affair.86 For example, courts have upheld charter cities’ license taxes87 and real estate transfer taxes (also referred to as documentary transfer taxes.)88 But then three things changed. First, in 1982 (in the wake of Proposition 13), the Legislature passed a statute allowing a general law city to levy any tax a charter city may levy.89 Thus, as a general rule, charter cities do not have any distinct taxation authority that is unavailable to general law cities. However, courts have upheld the authority of charter cities to establish and impose real estate transfer taxes that exceed the limits imposed on general law cities under Government Code section 53725 and Revenue and Tax Code sections 11911 et seq., as long as other constitutional requirements for voter approval are satisfied.90 Second, the California Supreme Court recognized that sometimes aspects of local taxation have an effect outside the city’s jurisdiction that implicates a matter of statewide concern.91 Finally, charter cities must comply with Propositions 13, 26 and 218, which require certain procedures, including voter approval on taxes.92

2. Investments
State law allows general law cities having money in their treasuries not required for immediate needs to invest in particular types of investments.93 Charter cities may set up their own investment policies and programs, and they are only constrained by basic constitutional limitations.

3. Appropriations
Local appropriations are another area that has not been tested as to whether it applies to charter cities.

Agenda Item 12 CC Agenda 01-07-20 Attachment 1 Agenda Item 12 Page No. 204 CC Agenda 01-07-20

Page 124 of 1188 ends

LEAGUE OF CALIFORNIA CITIES: CHARTER CITY TOOL KIT 17
An appropriation is an authorization to expend funds. The appropriations of general law and charter cities are limited by a formula found in the Constitution that adjusts annual appropriations by cost of living and change in population (Gann limit).94 The formula involves a base year with allowable adjustments based on increases in population and inflation. There are certain items that are exempt from the Gann limit, such as indebtedness and treatment of certain income as proceeds of taxes. The Gann limit applies to charter cities.95
Cities set apart a named sum of money in the treasury and make it available for the payment of particular claims or demands through an appropriation. A city may accomplish this by adopting a budget or passing an appropriations ordinance or resolution.96 General law cities are then authorized to pay funds through the warrant process.97 The custodian of funds issues a warrant, which is an order authorizing the bank or other depository of city funds to pay a particular sum of money. If funds are available for the payment of an approved claim, the warrant becomes a check directing the bank or depository of city funds to pay the funds to the payee. When funds are unavailable, the warrant becomes an interest-bearing municipal obligation.

4. Expenditures
There are three main limitations on expenditures of general law cities.

First, a general law city may not make a gift of public funds.98 Any expenditure with a public purpose, however, is not a gift of public funds.

The prohibition on gifts of public funds provision does not apply to charter cities.99 Second, a city may not pay extra compensation to a public officer, public employee, or contractor after service has been rendered or a contract has been entered into and performed to any degree, or to authorize the payment of a claim against the city under an illegally made agreement.100 This provision applies to charter cities by virtue of California Constitution article XI, section 10.101 Finally, the constitutional debt limitation states that no city may incur any indebtedness or liability in any manner or for any purpose exceeding in any year the income and revenue provided for such year, without the assent of two-thirds of the voters of the public entity voting at an election to be held for that purpose.102 This limitation includes several exceptions such as the long-term lease exception.103 This limit applies to charter cities.104
d. Land Use and Planning
Government Code section 65700, which relates to local planning, generally exempts charter cities from its coverage, with some exceptions.110 Government Code section 65803 includes similar provisions.

The gift of public funds clause of the California
Constitution states: “The Legislature shall have
no power . . . to make any gift or authorize the
making of any gift, of any public money or thing
of value to any individual, municipal or other
corporation whatever.”105 The general rule is
that a contribution from one public agency to
another entity for a purely local purpose is not
allowed unless the contribution serves the public
purpose of the donor agency,106 regardless of
the benefit to the donee agency or incidental
benefits to private persons.107 A city’s discretion
to determine what constitutes a public purpose
generally is not disturbed by the courts if that
determination has a reasonable basis.108
The constitutional prohibition against a gift of
public funds is a restriction on the powers of
the Legislature. The powers of charter cities,
however, are not derived from the Legislature
but rather from their respective charters,
which are directly provided for in the California
Constitution. Thus, the constitutional prohibition
against making gifts of public funds does not
apply to a charter city.109

18 LEAGUE OF CALIFORNIA CITIES: CHARTER CITY TOOL KIT
CHAPTER 2: A CHARTER CITY’S ADDITIONAL HOME RULE AUTHORITY Unless the legislation states that it applies to charter cities in this area it likely does not. For example0 Government Code section 65860 requires a general law city to conform its zoning ordinances to its general plan. The section states that it shall apply to a charter city with a population of 2 million or more, which includes Los Angeles only. For charter cities other than Los Angeles, the mandatory elements of a general plan must be internally consistent,111 there is no similar requirement that there be consistency between the general plan and zoning.112 However, the California Environmental Quality Act may require a charter city to identify inconsistencies between a project, its zoning, and the charter city’s general plan.

It is therefore incumbent upon charter cities to carefully review state legislation regarding zoning and planning to determine what sections purportedly apply to charter cities and which do not.

3. Matters of Statewide Concern
As explained earlier, there are certain areas of California law that apply to charter cities if a court determines that the area is a matter of statewide concern. In these areas state legislation preempts local legislation. Below are some areas that courts have held to be matters of statewide concern. For further discussion, see Chapter 5.
a. School systems
Education and the operation of public schools have repeatedly been held by courts to be a matter of statewide concern rather than a municipal affair.113 As one court has pointed out: “The Legislature’s power over the public school system has been variously described as exclusive, plenary, absolute, entire, and comprehensive, subject only to constitutional constraints.”114 Thus, charter provisions, ordinances and regulations regarding schools are preempted.115 However, education may be made a municipal affair when the city acts “in promotion and not in derogation of the legislative school plans and purposes of the state.”116 Thus, although a general law city is prohibited by the gifts of public funds clause of the Constitution, a charter city, which is not subject to this constitutional prohibition, may choose to render financial assistance to education.117
b. Licensing of members of a trade or profession
If the state has provided a broad and comprehensive plan for examining and licensing members of a specific trade or profession, such licensing is a matter of statewide concern.

Thus, charter cities and general law cities may not impose additional requirements on these trades or professions. The rationale is that the statewide scheme is intended not just to be prohibitory, but also permissive, authorizing licensed individuals to engage in their occupations anywhere in the State, and local requirements conflict with that intent.118 Courts have applied this general rule regarding the licensing of electrical contractors,119 painting contractors,120 plumbing contractors,121 attorneys,122 psychiatrists,123 civil engineers and land surveyors,124 and fire insurance adjusters.125
Examples: Some examples of
Government Code provisions
relating to planning and zoning
which apply to charter cities are:
scope of general plan (§ 65301);
the Housing Accountability Act
(§ 65589.5); conduct of zoning
hearings (§ 65804); senior citizen
housing (§ 65852.1); requirements
for roof overhang manufactured
home (§ 65852.5); mobile home
park as permitted land use
(§ 65852.7); interim ordinance
procedures (§ 65860); variances
(§ 65863.5); mobile home park
conversion (§ 65863.5); wind
energy systems (§ 65909.5);
and processing fees for permits
etc. (§ 65909.5). This list is
not exhaustive.

LEAGUE OF CALIFORNIA CITIES: CHARTER CITY TOOL KIT 19
c. Regulation of Traffic and Vehicles
Although courts have recognized that the regulation of traffic upon public streets is of special interest to municipalities, they have refused to treat such regulation as a municipal affair.126 The state has claimed plenary power over the entire field of traffic control in California Vehicle Code Section 21. Thus, unless expressly provided by the Legislature, a city has no authority over vehicular traffic control.127 Ordinances inconsistent with state regulation of vehicles and traffic are invalid.128 Therefore, the authority of a charter city to regulate traffic on public streets is equivalent to the authority of a general law city, and subject to state law. d. Government Claims Act
The Government Claims Act establishes procedures for any person who seeks money or damages from a city, and it establishes substantive requirements to establish liability against a city.129 “It is undisputed that the matter of the liability of and payment by a city for its tort is not a municipal affair.”130 Even if damage or injury results from a charter city taking action that is clearly a municipal affair (such as the faulty maintenance of a city building), the charter city’s liability for that action is a matter of statewide concern.131 Therefore, a charter city may not establish its own procedural or substantive requirements for filing claims against the city that are in conflict with the Government Claims Act.
e. The Brown Act
The Ralph M. Brown Act, more commonly known as the Brown Act, is California’s sunshine law for local government.132 In essence, the Brown Act requires local government business to be conducted at open and public meetings, except in certain limited situations, and includes agenda requirements. The Brown Act declares that it applies to a “city, whether general law or chartered.”133 Additionally, a court has held that the Brown Act does not impermissibly infringe on a charter city’s control over its municipal affairs and “addresses a genuine and pure matter of statewide concern.”134
f. The Meyers-Milias-Brown Act
The Meyers-Milias-Brown Act (MMBA) is intended “to promote full communication between public employers and their employees by providing a reasonable method of resolving disputes regarding wages, hours, and other terms and conditions of employment between public employers and public employee organizations.”135 The MMBA requires a city council or its designated representative to meet and confer in good faith regarding wages, hours, and other terms and conditions of employment with representatives of such recognized employee organizations.136 If agreement is reached by the two parties, the meet and confer process concludes in a jointly prepared written memorandum of understanding, which must be approved by the city council to become binding.137
The California Supreme Court has held that “the procedures set forth in the MMBA are a matter of statewide concern, and are preemptive of contradictory local labor-management procedures.”138 However, the California Supreme Court has clarified that:
[T]here is a clear distinction between the substance of a public employee labor issue and the procedure by which it is resolved. Thus there is no question that ‘salaries of local employees of a charter city constitute municipal affairs and are not subject to general laws.’ [Citation.] Nevertheless, the process by which salaries are fixed is obviously a matter of statewide concern and none could … argue that a charter city need not meet and confer concerning its salary structure.139 Agenda Item 12 CC Agenda 01-07-20 Attachment 1 Agenda Item 12 Page No. 207 CC Agenda 01-07-20

The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) establishes detailed procedures by which a city is required to analyze the potential impacts of its actions upon the environment.140 The Legislature has stated that CEQA is a matter of statewide concern, and that governmental agencies at all levels, which includes charter cities, are required to comply with its provisions.141
h. Eminent Domain
The power of eminent domain is a matter of statewide concern, not a municipal affair — it must be exercised in accordance with state law.142 Cities have no inherent power of eminent domain and can exercise it, if at all, only when expressly authorized by law.143 Therefore, a charter city must comply with the California Constitution, the Eminent Domain Law and the relocation assistance statutes.144
i. Annexations
The Legislature establishes policies and procedures for setting territorial boundaries of cities, including the annexation of territory to a city, which are generally implemented through local agency formation commissions.145 The annexation of territory by a city is a statewide concern.146 Therefore, a charter city may not adopt provisions of a local ordinance or charter “pertaining to annexation which are contrary to the general laws of statewide application.”147 j. Public Records Act
The California Public Records Act (CPRA) codifies the procedures by which any person may gain access to a city’s public records, including particular definitions for what constitutes a public record, and exemptions from access for specified types of records.148 The CPRA expressly applies to all cities, “whether general law or chartered.”149 In 2004, the California Constitution was amended to broadly construe existing legislation that furthers the people’s right of access to public information (such as the CPRA), and to narrowly construe any limits to access, and it specifically provides that: “The people have the right of access to information concerning the conduct of the people’s business, and therefore … the writings of public officials and agencies shall be open to public scrutiny.” In 2014, the California Constitution was amended again to require each local agency to comply with the CPRA and the Brown Act as they might be amended by the Legislature in the future. 150 Agenda Item 12 CC Agenda 01-07-20 Attachment 1 Agenda Item 12 Page No. 208 CC Agenda 01-07-20

CHAPTER 3: DRAFTING, ADOPTING, AMENDING AND CHALLENGING A CHARTER Chapter 3

DRAFTING, ADOPTING, AMENDING AND CHALLENGING A CHARTER
This chapter addresses the various ways in which a charter can be drafted or amended; the pros and cons of each option; the degree to which a proposed charter should be flexible versus restrictive and how much detail it should contain; what steps must be taken before submitting a proposed charter or amendment to the voters; and what happens after the voter approval of any charter measure.

A. Adopting, Amending, and Repealing a Charter
A charter may only be adopted, amended, or repealed by majority voter approval.1 A ballot measure to approve a charter may be submitted to the voters by either an elected charter commission or by the city council. Once a charter is in place, there are three ways that amendments (including repeal) can be submitted to the voters: by an elected charter commission, by initiative, or through action of the city council.2
Although an amendment to an existing charter
can be proposed directly by initiative, adoption of a charter cannot. However, an initiative may propose election of a charter commission, which would then draft a charter for submittal to the voters, as discussed below.

The process for adopting and amending a charter is a matter of statewide concern governed exclusively by general laws that supersede conflicting provisions in a city or county charter.3 The argument that the procedure for putting charter amendments on the ballot is immune from conflicting state laws has been rejected.4
B. Drafting the Charter
A charter may be drafted by charter commission (elected by voters), a charter committee (appointed by the city council), or the city council itself.5 When a charter is drafted by a charter
committee or the city council, then the city council decides whether or not to submit the draft charter to the voters. Although the city council will have input into the work of a charter commission, the draft of a charter commission is submitted to the voters with or without city council approval. When a charter is submitted to the voters, the ballot must include a description of new city powers that result from adoption of the charter including whether the city council will have the power to raise its own compensation and the compensation of other city officials without voter approval.6

1. Elected Charter Commission
The members of a 15-member charter commission are elected by the voters as set forth in Government Code section 34450 et seq. Either the council calls an election to form a charter commission7
or formation of the commission is proposed by initiative.8 Such an initiative may only be on the ballot at a general election.9
The format of the ballot measure is as follows:
The voters first vote on the following question: Shall a charter commission be elected to propose a new charter?
