Adoption of Policy to Comply with Assembly Bill 2561 and Government Code 3502.3 Public Hearings on Vacancies and Recruitment and Retention Efforts - Staff Report
STAFF REPORT
Meeting Date: February 25, 2025
Agency: City of Belmont
Staff Contact: Ann Rtizma, Interim Administrative Services Director, [email protected] Agenda Title: Adoption of Policy to Comply with Assembly Bill 2561/Government Code 3502.3:
Public Hearings on Vacancies and Recruitment and Retention Efforts Agenda Action: Resolution
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a policy which establishes the framework and requirements for holding public hearings and reporting on the City’s workforce vacancies, and recruitment and retention efforts in compliance with Assembly Bill (“AB”) 2561. (Gov. Code § 3502.3.) Strategic Focus Area
Fiscal and Organizational Sustainability
Background
AB 2561, which became effective January 1, 2025, requires public agencies, including the City, to hold at least one public hearing per fiscal year to discuss vacancies and recruitment and retention efforts. This legislation aims to address job vacancies in local government, which negatively impact public service delivery and employee workload. Among its requirements, the law mandates that agencies present the status of vacancies and workforce efforts during a public hearing before the governing body.
This report serves as a precursor to tonight’s presentation and outlines the City's legal obligations under AB 2561 and recommends adopting measures to ensure compliance with the new requirements codified in Government Code Section 3502.3.
Analysis
In compliance with the new legal obligations, the City is required to do the following:
1. Public Hearing: At least once each fiscal year, at a public hearing before the City Council, the City shall present information regarding the status of vacancies and recruitment and retention efforts (Gov. Code § 3502.3(a)(1)) and identify any necessary changes to policies, procedures, and recruitment activities that may lead to obstacles in the hiring process (Gov. Code § 3502.3(a)(3)).
If the City Council adopts an annual or multiyear budget during the fiscal year, this presentation must occur prior to the City Council’s adoption of the City’s final budget. (Gov. Code § 3502.3(a)(2).)

Adoption of Policy to Comply with Assembly Bill 2561 and Government Code 3502.3 Public Hearings on Vacancies and Recruitment and Retention Efforts - Staff Report
2. Employee Organization Participation: Allow the recognized employee organization for each bargaining unit at the City to make presentations during the public hearing concerning vacancies and recruitment and retention efforts. There are currently three (3) bargaining units at the City. (Gov. Code § 3502.3(b).)
3. Additional Reporting for High Vacancy Rates: If vacancies within a single bargaining unit meet or exceed 20% of authorized full-time positions in that bargaining unit, upon request of the recognized employee organization for that bargaining unit, the City must provide additional information during the public hearing, including the following: (1) the total number of vacancies; (2) the number of applicants; (3) the average time to fill positions; and (4) opportunities to improve compensation and working conditions for employees in the bargaining unit. (Gov. Code § 3502.3(c).)
Policy
The Policy sets forth requirements regarding the information that the City will provide concerning vacancies at the City, the City’s recruitment and retention efforts, and the identification of changes to City policies, procedures, and recruitment activities. In the event that the vacancy rate in any bargaining unit is at least 20% of the total number of authorized full-time positions in the bargaining unit, the Policy sets for additional information that the City will provide upon request of the employee organization that represents such bargaining unit.

Public, Education and Government Access Fee - Staff Report –Public, Education and Government Access Program
STAFF REPORT
Meeting Date: February 25, 2025
Agency: City of Belmont
Staff Contact: Ann Ritzma, Interim Administrative Services Director Agenda Title: Public, Education, and Government Access Program Agenda Action: Ordinance
Recommendation
Introduce an ordinance establishing a state video franchise holder fee to support Public, Education, and Government (PEG) facilities and penalties of material breach of state and federal customer service standards.
Strategic Focus Area
Fiscal and Organizational Sustainability
Background
The Digital Infrastructure and Video Competition Act of 2006 (DIVCA) went into effect January 1, 2007.
DIVCA established a state franchising system administered by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) for video service providers that has replaced city-issued franchises. A statutory DIVCA video franchise lasts for a 10-year term and requires the holder to pay a franchise fee of 5% of gross cable revenues to the local jurisdiction. The franchise certificate requires video operators to provide three public, educational and governmental (PEG) access channels, and cities may opt to establish a fee to support those channels in the amount of 1% of a state video franchise holder’s gross revenue. There are currently two video service providers with state franchises in Belmont: DirecTV and Comcast. Their video franchises expire in 2027 and 2028, respectively.
Analysis
Belmont’s PEG channel is currently used to broadcast City Council meetings, Commission meetings and public workshops. A 1% PEG fee is estimated to generate $55,000 annually, although revenue is forecasted to decrease as the trend for video cable subscribers is also projected to decrease. The 1% PEG fee can provide funding to upgrade equipment and technology in the Council Chamber and broadcasting booth. The broadcasting equipment was upgraded in August 2024 from analog to digital and another upgrade to the equipment will be necessary in 5-7 years.
Under Public Utility Code Section 5870(n), the Council may opt to establish the 1% PEG fee by adopting an ordinance requiring the state franchise holder to pay the fee to the City. The revenue can only be used to support PEG channel facilities consistent with federal law. The state franchise holder’s obligation to pay the PEG fee expires upon expiration of the state franchise but may be reauthorized if the state franchise is renewed.

Server Replacement and Upgrades to Security System - Staff Report
STAFF REPORT
Meeting Date: February 25, 2025
Agency: City of Belmont
Staff Contact: Jason Eggers, IT Manager, [email protected] Agenda Title: Server Replacement and Upgrades to Security System Agenda Action: Resolution
Recommendation
Adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to negotiate and execute an agreement for the acquisition and installation of a server and associated upgrades to the security system for an amount not to exceed $80,000.
Strategic Focus Area
Fiscal and Organizational Sustainability
Background
The City of Belmont utilizes an Avigilon security system that was installed in 2017. The system was installed by Edgeworth Integration, LLC, a certified Elite Plus Partner with Avigilon. As the sole registered value-added reseller (VAR) for the City of Belmont, Edgeworth provides maintenance, monitoring, and upgrades to this system.
The City’s security monitoring needs have evolved over the past eight years. There are monitoring systems at City Hall as well as all other city facilities. The most recent upgrades to the system were made in the summer of 2024, when new cameras and monitoring tools were installed at the City’s corporation yard. Although the system has expanded and there have been significant upgrades, the security system server has not been replaced since the initial implementation in 2017.
The original server is now end-of-life and showing signs of failure. Additionally, some of the peripheral gear for the systems is wearing out, and the access control software is overdue to be upgraded.
Analysis
The project includes a new video storage server, a UPS kit, a replacement camera, updated software and licensing for the system, and the labor for installation and setup. • The new server will allow for improved video retention, and higher-resolution video storage capacity. This is especially important as video city retention requirements have increased since 2017.
• The UPS kit is a network controllable unit. This will provide better continuity of operations in the case of power outages or other system reset events. • Upgrading the access control software and updating the licensing for all 64 security cameras is 41
Server Replacement and Upgrades to Security System - Staff Report needed to bring the system to a current state or operations. These system upgrades will provide for a security system that more reliable, and easier to control, monitor, and service.
The vendor proposal (Attachment B) outlines the materials and labor needed, with a total quoted price of $76,203. This quoted price includes a discount of $8,105 that was negotiated by reducing labor costs by scheduling all the work to be done at the same time. Staff is recommending a project continency of 5% bringing the total project cost to a not-to-exceed amount of $80,000.

Revisions to the Records Retention Schedule - Staff Report
STAFF REPORT
Meeting Date: February 25, 2025
Agency: City of Belmont
Staff Contact: Jozi Plut, City Clerk, [email protected], 650-595-7414 Agenda Title: Revisions to the Records Retention Schedule Agenda Action: Resolution
Recommendation
Adopt a resolution approving a revised City Records Retention Schedule for all City departments Strategic Focus Area
Fiscal and Organizational Sustainability
Background
State law establishes a minimum retention period of two years for most records that are required to be retained. Specific state or federal statutes require shorter or longer retention periods for certain records. A local agency may vary the retention period for a record so long as it complies with the applicable statutory minimum or maximum. The City of Belmont completely overhauled its outdated Records Retention and Destruction Policy in 2015 and made modifications to the procedures for individual departments to request destruction of records based on the retention schedule. In November 2020 the Council adopted Resolution 2020-101 updating record types that were not initially captured in the 2015 revised document.
Analysis
The Schedule is a comprehensive index of those records which are managed by city departments and describes each record type and a retention period for each type. The retention periods are based on the needs of individual departments and complies with the state and federal statutes. The periods balance transparency to ensure public access to the activities of the City with efficient business operations regarding records retention.
In addition to the existing records, new line items were added to the schedule to include equipment used by the Police Department. This ensures that the schedule accurately reflects the current inventory of departmental assets and is up to date with the evolving needs of law enforcement operations. This update is a part of our ongoing commitment to maintaining a comprehensive and accurate records retention schedule.
Furthermore, we have made several overall edits to the schedule to ensure it aligns with the most recent legislative requirements and best practices. One significant update includes the incorporation of agenda packets and meeting videos as permanent records. These additions will enhance the City’s ability to maintain records for future research and Public Records Act (PRA) requests. By ensuring that these critical 51
Revisions to the Records Retention Schedule - Staff Report materials are preserved for historical and legal purposes, we can provide greater transparency and accessibility for the public.
These revisions not only ensure compliance with state and federal statutes but also reflect the practical operational needs of the city departments. This proactive approach helps safeguard the integrity of municipal operations and further strengthens our commitment to openness and accountability.
