33 Identify any Sourcewell participating entity sectors (i.e., government, education, not-for-profit) that you
will NOT be fully serving through the proposed
contract. Explain in detail. For example, does your
company have only a regional presence, or do other
cooperative purchasing contracts limit your ability to
promote another contract?
NAFG will continue to service all Sourcewell Members through our 24 hour a day, 7 days a week online portal with the exclusion of Non-Profits. Unfortunately, Non-Profits are often not eligible for the same discount’s government entities are qualified for. However, Non-Profits are subject to a different pricing program and will be evaluated on a case to case basis. * 34 Define any specific contract requirements or
restrictions that would apply to our participating
entities in Hawaii and Alaska and in US Territories.
The only possible logistical constraints we may face is the shipping constraints for shipments arriving in Alaska, Hawaii and US Territories. For example, we often provide members in Alaska or Hawaii with vehicles that often have upfits. To circumvent this potential issue, members allow us to add these extra shipping and port costs to their quotes.

this contract opportunity. Upload

materials (if applicable) in the document

National Auto Fleet Group encompasses a variety of marketing strategies to promote our products and services to streamline the vehicle purchasing process for government entities. Below are a few strategies used to serve as the gateway between our business and public agencies.
Website and Inbound Marketing: The creation of a professional customer-focused website is one of our main features to market our products and services. The NAFG website encourages our members to interact and browse through products offered along with pricing and information about National Auto Fleet Group. Inbound marketing is created when potential members are directed to the company website. With this method, we are able to not only connect with members but to put the purchasing ability into the hands of each member.
Our inbound marketing strategy attracts members by creating valuable content and experiences tailored to the needs of each individual. Examples include email campaign flyers on our products, informative and how-to videos, social media and engaging members with top-notched customer service to build brand awareness.
Email Marketing: One of the main strategies used to engage current and potential members is Email Marketing. Our emails include different types of flyers that consist of information of the Sourcewell contract, promoting manufacturer brands, holiday themed flyers, discounts offered to first time buyers, important cutoff date reminders and upcoming products and events.
The use of marketing campaigns plays a major role in enhancing the growth of our client database. Emails are a big part of our daily lives due to government agency employees utilizing emails as their main source of communication. We use campaigner.com as the emailing platform to reach our target members. Videos and descriptive images are used on all flyers and are compatible with a desktop or mobile device. Messages are short and to the point with links leading to the Sourcewell and NAFG homepage. The Campaigner email system allows the ability to track email activity based on open rate, unsubscribes and link clicks which is beneficial to understanding email effectiveness.
Once potential members are directed to our website, they are welcomed with a wide range of options to explore an array of our products and services. They are able to register to become a member, view pricing, explore available in-stock vehicles, view how-to-videos, build a vehicle online to request an immediate quote or use our live chat assistant or call/email for live support.
Face to Face Marketing Strategies: This strategy has proven to be successful in generating leads and creating lasting relationships by developing genuine connections with prospective members. National Auto Fleet Group attends several trades shows per year to engage members and put a face to the company. This in person meeting aids to build the brand by nurturing relationships between members and other vendors associated through the process. Trade shows attended include GFX, IAPPO, NIGP, ACT, CAPPO, and CASBO throughout the United States.
NAFG has many opportunities to make in person presentations to propose products, services offered and to answer any questions potential members may have. These PowerPoint Presentations include topics on NAFG/Sourcewell process, how to facilitate the vehicle purchasing without bidding, informational videos, and the brands and services we provide. These meetings have been held at local cities, counties, school districts, water districts and ports.
Relationship Marketing is a vital strategy used in building and maintaining long-term relationships practiced by National Auto Fleet Group on a daily basis.
NAFG strives to create a positive and supportive connection with members by providing personalized and responsive customer service practices. The sales team has worked tirelessly to focus on providing outstanding customer support to create a powerful rapport with existing and new members. By going above and beyond, they have enhanced existing relationships and executed customer loyalty with repeat businesses.
They strive to deviate from the “Car Salesperson” mentality which is 100% sales driven to a more product and customer service approach by instilling a sense of confidence in our clients. The goal is to regularly assist clients and address any needs and concerns even after the purchase has occurred. The strive to focus on solution selling vs. product selling develops into a mutually beneficial agreement for members and the business.
Below are a few examples on successful relationship marketing from our Fleet Department:
We had a member call in to request financing/lease options for a truck needed through our National Auto Fleet Group/Sourcewell vehicle contract. I contacted another Sourcewell vendor, Matt Geiselhart from NCL Gov Capital and he was happy to assist with a financing quote. The member also requested to trade in a current vehicle in their fleet and was directed to Govdeals for assistance in removing the outdated unit through an auction. The member was able to utilize three Sourcewell contracts to complete his transaction which simplified the entire process. The member was very satisfied with the amount of care and ease through his experience and became a repeat customer. By utilizing a cross-selling strategy, National Auto Fleet Group became his one stop shop to fulfill all fleet vehicle purchasing needs. “I had a member call in desperate to obtain a new truck because an employee had gotten into a serious accident and had the truck totaled. Due to covid restrictions, most manufacturers are currently experiencing microchip shortages which relays to production delays at the factory. We were able to direct buyer to our instock inventory on the NAFG website and member was ecstatic to locate truck to meet their needs. Instead of having to wait 30 weeks to receive the new vehicle, member was able to obtain the new truck within 3 weeks.”

“I once had a member contact us two years after purchasing a vehicle from us. They had a malfunction with the liftgate on the box truck which caused a logistical nightmare. I was able to contact one of our body vendors that upfitted the lift gate installation and a service technician was able to go onsite to resolve the liftgate issue at no additional cost. The member was very impressed with the quality of our customer service even after purchase. “
“I had a member request a ¾ ton truck pricing but was unsure about their budget at the time. I took the time to go through each option with the client to provide a Sourcewell pricing quote through multiple manufacturers from Ram, Chevrolet and Ford. This empowered the member to have multiple pricing options for review to align with their budget as well as eliminating the need to shop anywhere else. “ “We work with many body companies to assist customers with the body upfitting process. One of our members called in a request to expedite a particular vehicle that was held up at one of their local body upfitters. I contacted the body company representative and put in a request to expedite the upfitting per request of the member. The body company was able to comply with the request and delivery was made sooner than expected.”
Word-of-Mouth Marketing: The positive quality of service has led to more sales based on previous customers’ impressions on their experience. NAFG’s goal is to provide exemplary customer service throughout the entire purchasing process to encourage repeat business and advocate services to other members. NAFG has been fortunate to experience multiple instances of leads generated based solely on word-of-mouth marketing though our existing customers.
Cross-promotion: National Auto Fleet Group is currently collaborating with another Sourcewell Vendor, NCL Government Capital to promote each other’s products and services. NCL Government Capital specializes in providing competitive equipment financing programs for municipalities and public education entities across the United States. As a team, NCL and NAFG produced a variety of marketing materials such as videos, flyers and info graphs to promote purchasing and leasing opportunities.
Hoglund Bus Company is another cross-promotion vendor NAFG had the opportunity to create a partnership with. Flyers were created to advertise Chassis from NAFG along with a variety of bus bodies from Hoglund Bus Company.
With cross-promotion, companies exchange knowledge and provide endorsements on websites, social media, and email campaigns. This strategy creates an influx of new leads, brand awareness, increased sales and recurrence of customers. National Auto Fleet Group will continue to create new partnerships and facilitate more cross-promotion opportunities in the near future to provide turnkey solutions for a variety of vehicle purchasing needs.
Coming in 2022, National Auto Fleet Group will be launching a NAFG Partner Website to further increase business growth. The website www.nafgpartner.com is expected to launch next year in 2022. The site encourages body upfitting companies throughout the United States to partner up with NAFG to become a preferred member. The benefits of becoming a preferred member include endorsements on website and social media avenues along with word-of-mouth referral for clients with upfitting needs. Our dedicated public relations representative will conduct phone and in person meetings to discuss the advantages of partnering up with NAFG, therefore generating more cross-promotion opportunities.
Members from government agencies are encouraged to go on the site to search for local body upfitting companies they are interested in working with. As a prerequisite in becoming a preferred vendor, they are required to advertise NAFG and the Sourcewell contract on their business website and refer their clients to purchase their cab/chassis needs through NAFG. This establishes a partnership that will generate increased sales all around. We are still currently building the website and interacting with body companies across the United States that would be interested in partnering up with NAFG.

36 Describe your use of technology and digital
data (e.g., social media, metadata usage) to
enhance marketing effectiveness.
Social media plays a crucial element in the way people communicate and connect with each other.
LinkedIn is the go-to platform used by NAFG as it offers a variety of ways to expand our network by locating and connecting with relevant professionals in the industry. National Auto Fleet Group has utilized LinkedIn to engage current and potential members through personalized messages and posts. Personalized messages include thanking them for registering on site as well as directing them to on our link to the website, LinkedIn, YouTube, Facebook and Instagram company pages. The goal is to unite with people already on our database as well as people that would benefit from our products and services. Current flyers or messages about our company are also posted on the LinkedIn site to generate and attract more business. Time is also spent on reading posts from connections and observe any needs that National Auto Fleet Group may assist with.
National Auto Fleet Group has begun utilizing video marketing strategies to further promote and market products by engaging on social media channels and email flyers. Programs such as Vimeo, Video Scribe, Cartoon Animator, Adobe Animate, Illustrate, Captive, Photoshop and Movavi Video Editor Plus are employed to edit and create videos to assist in endorsing our company. The following videos were recently created by our marketing department along with outside video production companies:
Explainer Video: The first video created was a 90 second explainer video about National Auto Fleet Group that used animated characters to visualize our products and services along with information on the Sourcewell awarded contract. The video has been incorporated into all our weekly email flyers and social media platforms as an informative video on our products and how to purchase vehicles off Sourcewell Government Contract.
How To Videos: National Auto Fleet Group has also created step-by-step How-To videos on the process to purchase both Light Duty and Heavy-Duty vehicles off the contract.

Videos for social media: Mini videos were created to advertise new vehicles available, pricing and cutoff date reminders.
NAFG has recently introduced a newly built live chat feature on our website for customer convenience as well as improving customer service. Visitors have access to chat with a live sales representative 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. With this feature potential customers are provided with another avenue for assistance in addition to emailing and phone calls. The benefits of a live chat option include quicker response time to assist buyers in reaching a purchasing decision and answer their questions.
Improving customer service will also lead to increased sales, customer loyalty and engagement. Many studies have shown a strong correlation between live chat and increase in conversion rates. Potential clients appreciate having their questions answered in real-time when trying to build a vehicle quote online and allowing the user to multi-task different projects.

37 In your view, what is Sourcewell’s role in
promoting contracts arising out of this RFP?
How will you integrate a Sourcewell-awarded
contract into your sales process?

38 Are your products or services available
through an e-procurement ordering process? If
so, describe your e-procurement system and
how governmental and educational customers
have used it.
Our website provides a hands-on empowering approach to ordering vehicles online. Clients can search through many vehicles makes and models with the ability to customize a vehicle tailored to their specific needs of their agency. A personalized quote with pricing can be available in as little as 5 minutes depending on the complexity of the vehicle. If upfitting is needed, the buyer can list the details of the up-fit while building their vehicle on our website to receive a complete quote or a sales representative can be reached through phone, email or our new live chat feature built on our website.
We have recently created and uploaded a “How-To Videos” section on the homepage of our website which highlights a step-by-step process on how to build an online quote. This informative video demonstrates how to navigate the website in how to generate a vehicle quote with or without upfitting options. It begins by explaining how to register on our website as a member and then details on how to select vehicle model and type and the factory options needed.
Once a customized quote is built, clients have the option to finalize the sales transaction by submitting a purchase order to our sales team via email. This gives complete autonomy to the client to purchase vehicles without the need to speak to a sales rep. If assistance is needed, they can contact sales through email, live chat or phone.
If assistance is required to build a quote, our sales rep is also available to walk a client through the eprocurement process step by step. This ensures someone is available to answer any questions if needed and empowering the client to make any future purchases on their own. Clients may also call or email the needs of the company and receive a customized vehicle quote. *

CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA REPORT
MEETING
DATE:
October 23, 2023
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Greg Thompson, Deputy City Manager/Community Development Director
PREPARED
BY:
Christina Thurman, Executive Assistant
SUBJECT: Approving On-Call Professional Services Agreements with various consultants for As-Needed Planning Services (Deputy City Manager/Community Development Director Thompson)
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION
Approves Professional Services On-Call Master Agreements, in a form approved by the City Attorney, with 4LEAF, Inc. of Pleasanton, California, Interwest of Fresno, California, and Precision Civil Engineering, Inc. of Fresno, California, for As-Needed planning services, in an amount not to exceed $200,000 per Task Order; and authorizes and directs the City Manager, or her designee, to execute the Agreements on behalf of the City.
I. BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
BACKGROUND:
As the City of Atwater continues to grow, and with limited in-house resources for some technical expertise, some services may be provided by a consultant or an outside vendor. The Community Development Department, from time to time, is in need of assistance in the following areas:
• Planning Services
On August 24, 2023, staff released a formal Request for Qualifications (RFQ’s) for AsNeeded Planning Services. The purpose of the request was to seek relationships and contracts for services with companies with the qualifications and requirements identified in the RFQ.
Submittals were due September 28, 2023, and the City received four Statement of Qualification submittals. A selection panel of Public Works Director, Deputy City Manager/Community Development Director and administrative staff reviewed the
CITY COUNCIL
Mike Nelson, Mayor
Danny Ambriz Tyler Button
John Cale Brian Raymond
Agenda Report - Page 2
Statements of Qualifications received under the published request using a qualifications based selection process in determining which consultants to contract with on an "AsNeeded basis". These services will be on-call requests for various projects within the City of Atwater through the On-Call Master Agreements. The contracts will be for a period of three years, with an option of two (2) one-year extensions.
ANALYSIS:
The Master Agreements will allow the City to request the services of the retained Consultants on an individual project basis as the need arises. Prior to any work completed under the Master Agreements, the City will solicit a proposal for a specific scope of service from the retained consultants. Proposals will be evaluated based on scope, understanding and schedule. The successful proposal will be given a Task Specific Professional Services Agreement executed by the Consultant and the City once the cost fee has been negotiated.
The Master Agreements with the selected consultants will not limit the City’s ability to seek other proposals for professional services that, at the City’s sole discretion, are outside the scope, ability or availability of the currently retained consultants. The purpose of the Master Agreement arrangement is for the convenience of the City for the projects that are routine and general in nature. For specialized projects, the City may still seek a project specific RFQ.
Consultants shall provide professional as-needed planning services that would include, but are not limited to, the ability to perform the following:
• As required, be present at City Hall and hold regular office hours as agreed upon by staff and consultants (a minimum of two days per week, e.g. Mondays and Wednesdays)
• Develops and maintains good working relationships with other city departments, other jurisdictions, and the public.
• Analyze projects for compliance with the City’s General Plan, zoning ordinance, Municipal Code, California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Subdivision Map Act, Design Guidelines, applicable specific plans and other policies. • Review and process ministerial applications and discretionary entitlements, such as: Plan Checks, Zoning Clearances, Sign Permits, Use permits, Variances, Design Review, Tentative Maps, and General Plan and Zoning amendments. • Compiles and analyzes data on economic, social, environmental, and physical factors affecting land use.
• Meets with developers, engineers, property owners, contractors and other individuals to discuss, advice, explain processes and suggest improvements regarding potential projects, pre-applications, development applications, feasibility analysis, conceptual development plans and code interpretation. • Preparation of initial studies, draft environmental impact reports (EIRs), responses to comments/final EIRs, (mitigated) negative declarations, addenda to previous environmental documents, subsequent/supplemental EIRs, mitigation
Agenda Report - Page 3
measures, mitigation monitoring and reporting programs, notices, and exemptions.
• Issue-specific environmental studies (e.g., biological resources, transportation/traffic analysis, cultural and historic resources). • Ability to write Planning Commission and City Council staff reports, resolutions, ordinances, conditions of approval, public notices, and give oral presentations. • Attend Commission and City Council meetings, public hearings and community meetings as necessary.
• Conduct site visits, when necessary.
• Analyze projects for CEQA compliance.
• Ability to review projects and provide comments within timelines specified by the Permit Streamlining Act and the City (shorter timelines may be required for certain projects).
• Provide strong emphasis on the management of multiple projects and competing priorities while maintaining quality, meeting schedules and staying within budget. • Answer public inquiries by telephone, mail or in person at a public counter regarding property zoning and/or General Plan land uses, application submittal requirements, etc.
• Facilitation of special projects.
Consultants shall provide professional services to the City of Atwater on an as-needed basis (on-call). The examples of the types of projects that may require professional services under this On-Call Master Agreement may include but are not limited to: Plan Checks, CEQA compliance, Environmental review and analysis, Environmental Studies, Land Use Permits, Zoning and Variance related inquires/modifications, and Staff Augmentation.
II. FISCAL IMPACTS:
As an on-call contract, funding is subject to appropriation in the current FY 23-24 and future fiscal year budgets in various funds to be determined, as planning needs for projects arise. Task orders to consultants to complete work under these contracts will be issued only when the necessary funds are available and appropriated.
Award of an on-call contract does not guarantee any set level of expenditure until a task order is issued.
III. LEGAL REVIEW:
This item has been reviewed and approved by the City Attorney.
IV. EXISTING POLICY:
This item is consistent with goal number one (1) of the City's Strategic Plan: to ensure
Agenda Report - Page 4
the City's continued financial stability.
V. ALTERNATIVES:
N/A.
VI. INTERDEPARTMENTAL COORDINATION:
This item has been routed and reviewed internally by all department heads.
VII. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION:
The public will have an opportunity to provide comments on this item prior to City Council action.
VIII. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
This item is not a “project” under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as this activity does not cause either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect environment, pursuant to Public 21065Resources physical change in the Code section
IX. STEPS FOLLOWING APPROVAL:

5.1 General Requirement. Professional shall indemnify, defend with counsel selected by the City, and hold harmless the City and its officials, officers, employees, agents, and volunteers from and against any and all losses, liability, claims, suits, actions, damages, and causes of action arising out of any personal injury, bodily injury, loss of life, or damage to property, or any violation of any federal, state, or municipal law or ordinance, to the extent caused, in whole or in part, by the willful misconduct or negligent acts or omissions of Professional or its employees, subcontractors, or agents, by acts for which they could be held strictly liable, or by the quality or character of their work. The foregoing obligation of Professional shall not apply when (1) the injury, loss of life, damage to property, or violation of law arises wholly from the negligence or willful misconduct of the City or its officers, employees, agents, or volunteers and (2) the actions of Professional or its employees, subcontractor, or agents have contributed in no part to the injury, loss of life, damage to property, or violation of law. It is understood that the duty of Professional to indemnify and hold harmless includes the duty to defend as set forth in Section 2778 of the California Civil Code. Acceptance by City of insurance certificates and endorsements required under this Agreement does not relieve Professional from liability under this indemnification and hold harmless clause. This indemnification and hold harmless clause shall apply to any damages or claims for damages whether or not such insurance policies shall have been determined to apply. By execution of this Agreement, Professional acknowledges and agrees to the provisions of this Section and that it is a material element of consideration.

5.3 Design Professionals. To the extent that the services under this Agreement include design professional services subject to California Civil Code Section 2782.8, as may be amended from time to time, Professional’s duty to indemnify under Sections 5.1 and 5.2 shall only be to the maximum extent permitted by California Civil Code Section 2782.8.

Section 5. INDEMNIFICATION AND PROFESSIONAL’S RESPONSIBILITIES.
5.1 General Requirement. Professional shall indemnify, defend with counsel selected by the City, and hold harmless the City and its officials, officers, employees, agents, and volunteers from and against any and all losses, liability, claims, suits, actions, damages, and causes of action arising out of any personal injury, bodily injury, loss of life, or damage to property, or any violation of any federal, state, or municipal law or ordinance, to the extent caused, in whole or in part, by the willful misconduct or negligent acts or omissions of Professional or its employees, subcontractors, or agents, by acts for which they could be held strictly liable, or by the quality or character of their work. The foregoing obligation of Professional shall not apply when (1) the injury, loss of life, damage to property, or violation of law arises wholly from the negligence or willful misconduct of the City or its officers, employees, agents, or volunteers and (2) the actions of Professional or its employees, subcontractor, or agents have contributed in no part to the injury, loss of life, damage to property, or violation of law. It is understood that the duty of Professional to indemnify and hold harmless includes the duty to defend as set forth in Section 2778 of the California Civil Code. Acceptance by City of insurance certificates and endorsements required under this Agreement does not relieve Professional from liability under this indemnification and hold harmless clause. This indemnification and hold harmless clause shall apply to any damages or claims for damages whether or not such insurance policies shall have been determined to apply. By execution of this Agreement, Professional acknowledges and agrees to the provisions of this Section and that it is a material element of consideration.

5.3 Design Professionals. To the extent that the services under this Agreement include design professional services subject to California Civil Code Section 2782.8, as may be amended from time to time, Professional’s duty to indemnify under Sections 5.1 and 5.2 shall only be to the maximum extent permitted by California Civil Code Section 2782.8.

RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION
Adoption of Resolution No. 3432-23 acknowledging receipt of 2023 annual City of Atwater Fire Inspection Compliance Report as mandated by California Senate Bill 1205.
I. BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
After the devastating Ghost Ship Fire in Oakland, the California Senate put forth Senate Bill 1205 (Attachment A). This Bill was approved by the Governor on September 27, 2018 and added to §13146.4 of the California Health and Safety Code.
Existing law requires the Fire Chief of any city or county fire department or district providing fire protection services and his or her authorized representatives to inspect every building used as a public or private school within his or her jurisdiction, for the purpose of enforcing specified building standards, not less than once each year, as provided. Existing law requires every city or county fire department or district providing fire protection services that is required to enforce specified building standards to annually inspect certain structures, including hotels, motels, lodging houses, and apartment houses, for compliance with building standards, as provided. Senate Bill 1205 requires every city or county fire department or district required to perform the above-described inspections to report annually to its administering authority, as defined, on the department's or district's compliance with the above described inspection requirements, as provided. The bill would require the administering authority to acknowledge receipt of the report in a resolution or a similar formal document.
During 2023, the City’s Fire Department conducted inspections on 15 of the 15 Group E Occupancies (public or private schools), 223 of the 223 Group R Occupancies (hotels, apartments, and certain residential care facilities) and 21 of the 21 Group A Occupancies (assemblies and churches) within the City. A record of the inspections for calendar year 2023 comprise the City of Atwater Fire Inspection Compliance Report that is attached as Exhibit “A” to the resolution. This will bring the City into compliance with SB 1205 for calendar year 2023.

Pertaining to Certain Terms and Conditions of Employment of the Mid-Managers Group, Relating to Safety Members and Adopting Salary Schedule B-24, Effective October 26, 2023, Relating to the Police Lieutenant Classification (Human Resources Director Sousa)
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION
Adoption of Resolution No. 3437-23 Approving and Ratifying a Side Letter Agreement Between the City of Atwater and the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees (AFSCME), Local 2703, Council 57, Pertaining to Certain Terms and Conditions of Employment of the Mid-Managers Group, Relating to Safety Members, and Authorizing and Directing the City Manager to Execute the Agreement on Behalf of the City, and Adoption of Resolution No. 3438-23 Adopting Salary Schedule B-24, Effective October 26, 2023, Relating to the Police Lieutenant Classification.
I. BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
The City of Atwater (“City”) and the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees, Local 2703, Council 57 (“AFSCME”) entered into its most recent Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with an effective date of July 1, 2022. The term of the current MOU expires on June 30, 2027.
Shortly after the approval of the Atwater Police Officers' Association (APOA) contract in June 2023, AFSCME approached the City to re-open the Mid-Manager's Group contract regarding salary compaction issues in relation to the Police Lieutenant classification.
The City’s negotiating team and AFSCME representatives met and conferred in good faith and reached an agreement. Staff is now seeking ratification by the City Council.
The proposed side letter includes language changes to Article 7, Section 7.2 of the current MOU in relation to general business hours; Article 8, Section 8.4 in relation to holidays; the addition of Article 9, Section 9.11 in relation to educational incentives for

safety members; and a language change to Article 23 in relation to the definition of Safety Member. All proposed language changes are in red and underlined in Exhibit A of Resolution 3437-23.
The adopted Fiscal Year 2023-24 Budget funded various personnel changes, including a four percent (4%) Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) and a nine percent (9%) equity adjustment to all sworn classifications in the police department per an agreement reached with the APOA.
The Police Lieutenant classification is a sworn position in the police department and currently resides in the Mid-Management Unit represented by the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees (AFSCME), Local 2703, Council 57. The Police Lieutenant classification received a four percent (4%) COLA in July 2023 per the current Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with AFSCME. Resolution No. 3438-23 facilitates an equity adjustment of nine (9%) to the Police Lieutenant classification to correct compaction issues related to the APOA’s contract approval in June 2023. Per the agreement reached with AFSCME, the Police Lieutenant’s salary shall be retroactive to July 1, 2023, to coincide with the APOA’s total salary adjustment received with the adoption of the new contract effective July 1, 2023.
II. FISCAL IMPACTS:
The amended Salary Schedule increases expenditures in fund 0001-2020-0001 by approximately $45,219, which includes salary and benefits.

Justin Vinson, Public Works Director
SUBJECT: Approving Plans and Specifications and Authorizing Advertising and Calling for Bids for the EV Charging Stations at 750 Bellevue Road (Public Works Director Vinson)
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION
Approves the plans and specifications and authorizing and calling for bids for the EV Charging Stations at 750 Bellevue Rd Project, Project No. 19-8, Bid Call Number 723-
23. I. BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
To support the need of the current fleet of Plug In EV trucks and hybrids, staff identified a need for 6 charging stations to be installed in the secure parking lot of the Police Department. The Police Department and Public Works teamed up and conducted extensive research into the feasibility of installing six EV Charging Stations at PD headquarters.
As part of the process, the City engaged PG&E. After talks with PG&E, the City was identified as being eligible for their Fleet Electrication Program. This program incentivizes the installation of the stations and supports site development and infrastructure upgrades at no cost to the City. The maximum amount of incentives available to the City in the program is $114,000. The City had to commit, as part of this program, to purchase 6 medium to heavy duty vehicles over the next three years. The City has already met this requirement from its purchases of Ford Lightnings.
On May 5, 2023, the city entered into a task order with Provost and Pritchard to design the EV Charging Stations at 750 Bellevue Rd. The scope included survey, site and grading plan, and electrical improvements. As well as meetings with PG&E to incorporate their plans and specifications into the plans that Provost and Pritchard were creating.
The specifications and scope of work include the installation of six (6) Level 2 chargers in the parking lot of the Police Department.
