• Councilmembers as individuals could attend the School District Board meeting to speak as individual residents of the City, but Councilmembers must make sure at the beginning of their public comment to state that they are there as a private individual, unless they had authorization from the Council to make statements on behalf of the Council.
• Council could take action and write a letter of support/opposition to a specific matter on an agenda or non-agenda matter that is within the purview of the School District; however, such a Council action is not agendized on tonight’s meeting and could not be discussed, but it could be placed for action on a future agenda.

There was consensus of the Council to direct staff to schedule a meeting of the Joint and Standing City Council/School Board Committee to discuss this issue and other issues such as e-bikes, new crosswalks, etc.

held are redeemed at par value, resulting in no net market gain or loss. investments and cash activity for the month.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the cancellation of the August 11, 2025 City Council meeting.

Sample Motion: I move to authorize the cancellation of the August 11, 2025 City Council meeting.

BACKGROUND
The City Council holds its regular meeting on the second and fourth Mondays of every month. The City Council has the authority to establish meeting dates and times and to reschedule or cancel such meetings with proper and timely public notice. Traditionally, the City Council has cancelled one meeting in July or August due to a light agenda and/or vacation schedules.

The purpose of this agenda matter is to allow the City Council an opportunity to discuss and act on the cancellation of its meeting of August 11, 2025.

Operating Budget Process
The operating budget preparation process began in March with internal departmental meetings to review year-end progress for the current fiscal year and assess projected budget needs for the upcoming fiscal periods. City staff conducted multiple meetings with departments to refine budget requests and align them with projected revenues. The Finance/Budget Committee met on May 29, 2025, to review the Proposed Budget.

Additionally, City staff conducted a Capital Improvement Projects study session to the City Council at the March 25, 2025 Special City Council Meeting, outlining proposed prioritization criteria and capital initiatives for FY 2025 27.
printed copies available to the City Council on June 13, 2025. The Proposed Two-Year Operating Budget for FY 2025 27 is structurally balanced and reflects a fiscally responsible approach aligned with adopted Financial and Budget Policies, and City Council Goals and Priorities.

While the General Fund remains balanced, the City is increasingly relying on available fund balance to subsidize structurally imbalanced programs in other funds. This approach, while necessary to maintain service levels in the short term, is not sustainable in the long-term.

Without the identification of new revenue sources and/or implementation of cost-containment and jeopardize long-term financial stability.

This budget highlights the urgent need to reassess funding models and implement long-term resilience.

City Council Finance/Budget Committee
The City Council Finance/Budget Committee (Committee) was established on June 24, 2013, (Resolution No. 5472), to work with the City Manager to address budgeting and other financial Adoption of Two-Year Budget for Fiscal Years 2025-27

policy and oversight matters. Staff meets monthly with the Committee to provide updates and multiple times
during the budget process to provide updates and receive direction on the budget. The Committee has reviewed the budget information and agreed to have staff present the proposed budget to the City Council for consideration of approval.

City Council Strategic Plan
The City maintains a structurally balanced budget that strategically advances the City Council goals established in the FY 2025-2027 Strategic Plan, adopted on March 24, 2025. These goals include:

Primary Goal #1: Enhance public outreach, education, and transparency Primary Goal #2: Maintain a small beachside town
Primary Goal #3: Enhance quality of life for residents
Primary Goal #4: Maintain the fiscal sustainability of the City (Note: Goal numbers are for reference only and do not signify level of importance.) -2027

Capital Improvement Program
On March 25, 2025, City staff presented a Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Study Session1 to the City Council. The presentation outlined the growing challenges the City faces in funding capital projects, including diminishing reserves and rising construction and material costs. In response, the City Council provided direction to prioritize critical infrastructure and essential service-related capital projects, particularly those that leverage available grant funding to maximize impact and reduce the burden on discretionary funds.

Based on City Council input, staff identified the following criteria for prioritizing capital projects:

Criterion Criterion Description
Strategic Alignment How well does the project align with the City's Strategic Plan, General Plan, or Council priorities?
Deferred Maintenance
- Service Levels
- Fiscal Impact
- Community Impact
Does the project address infrastructure that is
aging or beyond its expected service life? Could
deferring the project lead to increased risks, higher
costs, reduced service levels, or negative impacts
on the community?

Available Grant Funds Is the project fully or partially funded by awarded or likely grant funding?
Available Local Funds Is local matching or full funding available or programmed?
Community Benefit What is the scale of community impact in terms of safety, access, equity, or economic benefit?
The CIP prioritization aligns with 2 and reflects a
balanced approach to fiscal responsibility and service delivery. Using the criteria above, staff developed a proposed list of capital projects for Fiscal Years 2025 27, included in Attachment E.

Community Services Support Program
The City of Carpinteria provides financial assistance to various organizations through contract service agreements, memoranda of understanding (MOUs), and grant agreements. These organizations deliver services in areas such as social services, early childhood education, after-school programming, health and wellness, and other community needs. Funding is allocated to agencies that, in the view of the City Council, demonstrate the capacity to meet a documented community need and complement City services. A range of local and regional Following a comprehensive review, City staff has updated the Community Services Support Grant Program to improve administrative efficiency, enhance clarity for applicants, and better A new standalone overview sheet outlining eligibility requirements; Clearly defined evaluation criteria: Organizational Alignment to City Council Goals, Carpinteria Community Impact, and Organizational Capacity to fulfill the proposed scope of work; and
A revised grant timeline, ensuring that Council adopts the City budget prior to award of grant funds.

These changes were presented to the Finance Committee on March 13, 2025. Following review, the Committee recommended that staff implement the updated program structure for Fiscal Years 2025 2026 and 2026 2027.

DISCUSSION
Overview of Proposed FYs 2025-27 Budget
comprised of a variety of revenue sources, including both discretionary and restricted revenues. Discretionary revenues, such as property tax and sales tax, may be allocated to various municipal services based on current priorities and budgetary needs. In contrast, restricted revenues, such as capital project grants, are designated for specific purposes and initiatives with defined scopes and limitations.

All Funds
Accounting for City All Funds projections (discretionary and non-discretionary, see Table 1) include total revenues, expenditures, and estimated fund balances. Revenues are drawn from both discretionary sources (e.g., local sales and property taxes) and restricted sources (e.g., grants and special fund allocations).

For FY 2025/26, total projected revenues are $29.4 million, an increase of $211,150 (0.7%) over FY 2024/25 estimated actuals.

In FY 2026/27, total revenues are projected to slightly decline to $29.1 million, a decrease of $339,500 ( 1.2%).

Citywide expenditures are projected at:
$30.5 million in FY 2025/26, representing a $5.9 million decrease ( 16.3%) compared to FY 2024/25, driven primarily by reduced capital project spending. $30.3 million in FY 2026/27, a further $557,150 decrease ( 2.6%) from the previous year.

Overall, City revenues for FY 2025 27 are projected to remain stable, with modest growth in key revenue categories that reflect both economic trends and local policy changes. While certain revenue sources experience fluctuations due to the cyclical nature of funding and external factors, the City continues to maintain a diverse and balanced revenue base.

Property Taxes are projected to remain a reliable and steadily growing revenue source, increasing by $216,350 (3.9%) in FY 2025/26 and by $279,600 (4.8%) in FY 2026/27.

These increases are consistent with rising assessed property values and a stable real estate market in Carpinteria. Property Tax revenue is projected to comprise 19.7% of total revenue in FY 2025/26 and 20.9% in FY 2026/27, making it the second-largest discretionary revenue source. This growth provides a foundational base for funding core municipal services.

Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) revenues are projected to grow by $90,450 (2.5%) in FY 2025/26 and by $92,650 (2.5%) in FY 2026/27. TOT revenue is expected to comprise 12.6% of total revenue in FY 2025/26 and 13.1% in FY 2026/27. The recent passage of Measure B in November 2024, which increased the TOT rate from 12% to 15%, has helped to offset what would have otherwise been a decline in year-over-year TOT revenue growth. While domestic travel is expected to remain steady, international visits to California are forecasted to fall by approximately 9%.3 Cited factors for the decline include federal policy and global sentiment, economic factors, and other interruptions such as early-year wildfires.

Sales Tax Revenues, including revenues from Measure X, the City's 1.25% local sales tax approved by voters in 2018, are forecasted to increase by $88,550 (1.5%) in FY 2025/26 and by $161,000 (2.7%) in FY 2026/27. Sales tax revenue is expected to comprise 20.4% of total revenue in FY 2025/26 and 21.1% in FY 2026/27. These increases reflect sustained consumer spending and continued economic activity within the City. Measure X continues to play a critical role in supporting vital programs, capital improvements, and deferred maintenance projects.

Intergovernmental Revenues are projected to increase by $353,400 (3.8%) in FY 2025/26, driven by ongoing grant funding of capital projects. However, these revenues are expected to decline by $884,750 ( 9.3%) in FY 2026/27, reflecting the completion of project-specific allocations. This type of fluctuation is typical in multi-year funding cycles, where the timing and availability of competitive grant awards can vary.

Intergovernmental revenues are expected to comprise 32.5% of total revenue in FY 2025/26 and 29.9% in FY 2026/27.

While current revenue projections reflect stability, they remain largely flat and are not keeping reductions to staffing and/or programs by Fiscal Year 2027 28. The City is actively planning for the future and exploring options to ensure continued service delivery. These efforts include a combination of internal cost controls and potential new revenue sources that, with voter support, could help restore long-term fiscal balance and stability.

While top City revenues remain relatively stable, averaging a 3% annual increase, 3 https://industry.visitcalifornia.com/research/reports/travel-forecast Adoption of Two-Year Budget for Fiscal Years 2025-27
June 23, 2025

expenditures reflect several significant cost drivers:

Wages and benefits are projected to increase by $456,800 (5.6%) in FY 2025/26 and by $414,550 (4.8%) in FY 2026/27. This growth is largely attributable to rising pension and employee benefit costs, including cost of living adjustments, increasing health insurance premiums, and rising pension costs.

Public safety costs, primarily contracted law enforcement services, are projected to rise by $324,250 (5.3%) in FY 2025/26 and an additional $393,300 (6.0%) in FY 2026/27.

Professional services (excluding public safety) are expected to increase by $250,950 (10.6%) in FY 2025/26, followed by a $405,750 decrease ( 15.4%) in FY 2026/27, reflecting the cyclical nature of contracted support and project timelines such as the proje
support by nearly $300 thousand in FY 27.

Capital outlay is projected to decrease by $739,000 (-8.9%) in FY 2025/26 and fall more substantially in FY 2026/27 by $7.1 million (-46.0%), as major one-time projects are completed and future capital plans are reprioritized.

Estimated Fund Balances
These expenditure projections reflect allocations across a diverse range of municipal services, including public safety, infrastructure maintenance, administration, and capital projects. The City continues to invest in long-term infrastructure through capital improvements, including roadways, public facilities, and parks.

The anticipated change in fund balance includes:

A decrease of $1.3 million ( 8.4%) in FY 2025/26
A further decrease of $1.5 million ( 10.5%) in FY 2026/27 These reductions result from the planned use of both discretionary and special revenue fund balances to support program subsidies and capital improvement initiatives. These funds are being strategically drawn down to cover one-time expenditures and major maintenance needs, ensuring that critical infrastructure and service delivery priorities are addressed. While this strategy is eff
deferred maintenance that can increase significantly when not addressed in a timely manner), current revenue and expenditure trends make this practice unsustainable in the long-term, unless adjustments are made.

Tables 2 and 3 provide a comprehensive summary of all City funds, detailing revenues, expenditures, and transfer appropriations, along with beginning and projected ending fund balances for each fiscal year. For FY 2025/26, the projected ending fund balance is $1.1 million for the General Fund and $814,000 for the Measure X Fund. In FY 2026/27, these balances are projected to decline to $185,000 for the General Fund and $631,000 for the discretionary fund resources,
which are critical for funding essential municipal services.

Despite the drawdown of discretionary fund balances, the City maintains a healthy General Fund Reserve for Fiscal Stability, projected at $5.8 million in FY 2025/26 and $5.9 million in FY 2026/27, providing an important safeguard against unanticipated fiscal challenges.

Adoption of Two-Year Budget for Fiscal Years 2025-27
June 23, 2025

Strategic Outlook
The FY 2025 27 Adopted Budget enables the continuation of key City programs, projects, Initiatives, as well as the City's Vision and Mission Statements, which emphasize maintaining and enh
balances short-term needs with long-term sustainability.

Discretionary Funds: General Fund and Measure X
discretionary revenue sources,
largely supported by property tax and sales tax. These funds are essential to financing a broad range of municipal services and operations.

As shown in Table 4 below, total discretionary revenues, comprising the General Fund and Measure X Fund, are projected at $17.7 million in FY 2025/26 and $18.0 million in FY 2026/27.

Of this amount, $16.1 million (FY 2025/26) and $16.7 million (FY 2026/27) are allocated to discretionary spending, while net transfers out total $2.5 million and $2.6 million, respectively.

Combined, these funds are insufficient to fully cover projected expenditures and transfers, which are estimated to reach $18.4 million for FY 2025/26 and $19.1 million for FY 2026/27, necessitating the use of available fund balance for certain one-time expenses, while also prohibiting saving for future projects.

Table 4 General and Measure X Funds Revenue, Expenditures, and Transfers Sales Tax, including Measure X, is projected to increase by $88,550 (1.5%) in FY 2025/26 and by $161,000 (2.7%) in FY 2026/27. Sales tax generates approximately

33.7% of total revenue in FY 2025/26 and 34.1% in FY 2026/27, making it the largest source of discretionary revenue. It plays a vital role in supporting core municipal services such as public safety, capital improvements, and community programs.

Property Tax revenue is projected to increase by $204,200 (3.8%) in FY 2025/26, totaling $5.5 million, and by $266,950 (4.8%) in FY 2026/27, reaching $5.8 million.

Property tax represents 31.1% of total revenue in FY 2025/26 and 32.2% in FY 2026/27. It remains a dependable revenue source, reflecting strong real estate values and ongoing reinvestment in the community.

a coastal destination. This steady growth is based on the assumption that no additional hotel or motel rooms will be added and that current regulations on short-term rentals will remain in place.

Public Safety remains the largest component of discretionary spending, accounting for

40.7% of discretionary expenditures in FY 2025/26, with total costs of $6.6 million, marking a $324,250 (5.2%) increase. In FY 2026/27, public safety spending is projected to increase by $393,300 (6.0%), bringing its share of discretionary spending to 41.7%, largely due to continued increases in law enforcement contract costs. totaling $5.8 million in FY 2025/26, or 36.0% of the overall budget. This reflects an increase of $180,525 (3.2%) over the previous year. For FY 2026/27, wages and benefits are projected to rise to $6.1 million, an increase of $266,250 (4.6%), comprising 36.4% of the total operating budget. These increases are driven by cost-ofliving adjustments (COLAs), health insurance premiums, and rising pension obligations.

Fund Balances and Policy Reserves
The Available Fund Balance (AFB) represents the portion of fund balance that remains uncommitted and is not designated for specific projects, programs, or expenditures. It provides the City with financial flexibility to address unexpected costs, fund special initiatives, or serve as a buffer against unforeseen events.

For FY 2025/26 and FY 2026/27, the General Fund and Measure X Fund, excluding reserves, are projected to end the year with a combined AFB of $1,890,784 and $816,369, respectively.

These amounts reflect the unallocated funds expected to be available at fiscal year-end, The General Fund - Fiscal Stability reserve

The General Reserve and Capital Asset Replacement Reserve, both of which have been drawn down from their respective policy levels of $1 million to support various capital projects.

Special revenue funds are established to account for revenues that are legally or contractually restricted to specific purposes. These funds play a vital role in government budgeting by ensuring that resources, often from dedicated taxes, grants, or specific fees, are used solely for their intended purposes. By separating these revenues from the General Fund, the City enhances transparency and accountability, providing a clear framework for tracking expenditures and complying with regulatory requirements.

revenue funds, including the Library Fund, Tidelands Trust Fund, Road Maintenance Rehab Fund (RMRA), AB 939, Maintenance and Assessment Districts, Recreation Funds, and various grant programs, are estimated at $6.8 million for each year. However, many of these funds are under pressure due to inflation, rising costs, and reduced revenues, particularly for recreation programming and maintenance assessment districts that do not generate sufficient income to cover their expenses. Consequently, several of these funds require additional support through subsidies from discretionary funds. Addressing this issue, either through reduced programming and service levels or increased cost-recovery in addition to strategic revenue enhancements, will be necessary in the near future.

Estimated expenditures and transfers out from these restricted funds total approximately $6.5 million in both FY 2025/26 and FY 2026/27, with the majority allocated toward capital improvement projects. Notably, funds such as Measure A, Measure X, and RMRA provide essential support for infrastructure and transportation-related initiatives.

A new fund has also been added to account for the Winter Berm Assessment District, specifically to manage revenues and expenditures related to the winter berm construction, maintenance, and protection efforts.

Special revenue funds support a wide array of programs and services throughout the City, ensuring that community needs are addressed with dedicated financial resources. Examples include:

Recreation and Community Services Funding for the City Library, senior services (AgeWell), and recreational activities that
Environmental Resources Programs Support for Solid Waste Management, sustainability and responsible environmental stewardship.

Government Access Television (GATV) Providing public access to important local government information and events, supporting civic engagement and transparency.

Street Maintenance and Capital Improvements Dedicated funds ensure essential infrastructure projects are completed and city assets are preserved and upgraded.

These special revenue funds are critical to maintaining the quality of life in Carpinteria by supporting essential operations, targeted services, and long-term community development.

The capital improvement fund for the upcoming fiscal year is projected to have revenues of $7.2 million for FY 2025/26 and $6.6 million for FY 2026/27, with expenditures estimated at $8.2 million and $7.5 million, respectively. Net transfers-in total $379 thousand for FY 2025/26 and $302 thousand for FY 2026/27. This funding will support a range of projects and initiatives 7 below provides a detailed

Employee Salary Schedules
Service Employee International Union (SEIU) Local 620
In accordance with Section B., Article 23.H. of the adopted Memorandum of Understanding4 (MOU) for fiscal years 2022/23 through 2026/27 between the City of Carpinteria and Service Employee International Union (SEIU) Local 620, SEIU-represented employees are scheduled to receive a cost-of-living adjustment based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI), effective the first full pay period in July. In alignment with a previously approved Side Letter Agreement, the CPI is based on the March reference month and the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim area for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W).

For Fiscal Year 2025/26, SEIU-represented employees will receive a 3.1% COLA. No classification changes are proposed for SEIU-represented positions.

Management Personnel and Miscellaneous Unrepresented Personnel (MP MUP) MUP classifications based on the same CPI methodology used for SEIU-represented employees (March CPI-W, Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim area). This approach supports internal equity and external competitiveness.

Historically, these adjustments impacted only salary ranges. However, beginning in FY 2024/25, the City extended the CPI-based adjustment to incumbent salaries as well. The same approach is recommended for Fiscal Year 2025/26: a 3.1% COLA applied to both salary ranges and all MP MUP employee salaries. This method continues to support internal pay equity, particularly between long-serving staff and new hires.

The City Manager also recommends continuing a 5% cap on merit increases for FY 2025/26.

While the City had initially planned to implement a step-based compensation system this fiscal year, that transition has been deferred. The 5% cap helps reduce subjectivity in the current performance-based merit system, formerly allowing up to 8%, and is a step toward a more structured and consistent compensation approach.

Position Changes
Management Personnel and Miscellaneous Unrepresented Personnel To support organizational clarity and better align classification structures, the following changes are proposed:

New Classifications:

Senior Management Analyst Introduced as the highest-level classification in the Management Analyst series, providing strategic and complex analytical support. 4 MOU between the City of Carpinteria and SEIU Local 620, adopted January 23, 2023 Adoption of Two-Year Budget for Fiscal Years 2025-27
June 23, 2025

Accountant/Financial Analyst II Added to reflect advanced-level responsibilities beyond the current Accountant/Financial Analyst I role.

Title Revisions:

Senior Financial Analyst will be retitled to Senior Accountant/Financial Analyst to more accurately reflect its placement at the top of the newly established classification series.

Accountant/Financial Analyst will be retitled to Accountant/Financial Analyst I to clarify its role within the revised classification structure.

These changes reinforce internal consistency and enable more transparent classification and compensation decisions.
staff development, the new Management Analyst and Accountant/Financial Analyst series were created to establish clearer career pathways for professional staff, provide flexibility to underfill positions based on operational needs and candidate experience, and offer opportunities for advancement and retention within the same job series.

In conjunction with these structural changes, the City is designating the Management Analyst series and the Accountant/Financial Analyst series as exempt classifications under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), based on the professional-level responsibilities and independent judgment required in these roles. The Senior Financial Analyst position (retitled to Senior Accountant/Financial Analyst) was already designated as exempt and will remain so under the revised title.

Historically, the Management Analyst classification was considered exempt; however, in recent years its status was changed to non-exempt. This update reinstates exempt status in tion criteria and
ensures consistency with industry standards and practices. Exempt status is appropriate given the discretion, complexity, and scope of work expected in these roles and aligns with how comparable positions are treated in other local government agencies.

The Environmental Specialist and Management Analyst I Limited Term positions are recommended to be transitioned to permanent FTE positions and removed from the limited term classification. The Environmental Specialist position expenses will be covered by the recently updated AB939 Solid Waste Fee increase, and will now permanently assist with outreach, reporting, and management of the solid waste program, having no impact to the General Fund Balance. The Management Analyst I Limited Term position is recommended for use of General Fund Balance and will be continue to be assigned to the General Government department to assist with risk management, data analysis, project management, research and policy development, and general administrative support.

June 23, 2025

SEIU-represented Employees
There are no proposed position changes for SEIU-represented employees during Fiscal Years 2025 2027.

Part-Time Personnel
The City is proposing an updated part-time salary schedule for FY 2025/26. While the City has long maintained a salary schedule for part-time, temporary, and seasonal employees, the revised version eliminates the previous five-step structure and introduces flat hourly rates.

Where appropriate, some classifications are organized into tiered levels (I, II, III) to reflect distinctions in responsibilities, experience, and required certifications, while other positions will have a single flat hourly rate. -time positions have not received any salary increases over the past three fiscal years. To ensure competitive hourly rates and support successful recruitment, a 5% adjustment has been applied to the part-time salary ranges.

PT Classification Series Includes:

Aqua Instructor/Coach I/II/III
Beach Lifeguard I/II/III
Community Garden Coordinator I/II/III
Crossing Guards I/II/III
Library Technician I/II/III
Literacy Coordinator I/II/III
Maintenance Worker I/II/III
Parks and Facilities Attendant, I/II/III
Pool Lifeguard I/II/III
Recreation Leader I/II/III
The Assistant Senior Program Coordinator classification is proposed for removal; the existing incumbent will be reclassified to Recreation Leader II. This supports simplification while preserving appropriate placement.

This restructuring is intended to:

Improve clarity in position placement,
Reflect appropriate compensation based on certifications, experience, and job complexity, and
Support consistent and fair hiring and advancement decisions.

Although these roles are not intended as career-track positions, the revised schedule recognizes that many part-time employees return for multiple seasons, and some remain with Adoption of Two-Year Budget for Fiscal Years 2025-27
June 23, 2025

the City for several years, making it appropriate to offer structured placement based on qualifications and performance.

Employee placement into the new schedule will consider:

Certifications required or held
Length of service in current or similar roles
Work quality and performance history
Supervisor recommendations
New hires will typically start at the entry-level classification, with flexibility to place higher based on prior experience and credentials.

Future Challenges
As outlined throughout this letter, operational expenditures are rising at a pace that exceeds revenue growth. If this trend continues as projected, the City will face difficult choices by FY 2027/28, potentially requiring reductions in staffing, programs, or service levels. To preserve one that values local businesses,
open space, and high-quality public services the City must pursue a combination of enhanced cost recovery and strategic revenue enhancements.

A critical component of this strategy is aligning assessment district rates with actual service costs to reduce increasing reliance on General Fund subsidies. However, the Proposition 218 process required to update these districts is inherently complex, time-consuming, and costly.

It also faces political challenges and concerns from property owners, even in the face of declining service quality. As such, additional revenue mechanisms that require voter approval may also be necessary in the near future.

To move forward, robust public outreach and education will be essential to build Summary
The Adopted Budget for FYs 2025
responsible approach to meeting both current service demands and future community needs.

In the face of rising operational costs and inflationary pressures, the City has adopted a conservative yet forward-looking financial plan that prioritizes essential public services while investing in long-term infrastructure and community resilience.

Significant allocations are directed toward public safety, infrastructure upgrades, and community programs, ensuring uninterrupted delivery of critical services. Targeted capital - term sustainability goals and enhance the reliability of local services.

The budget carefully balances immediate needs with future priorities through a mix of discretionary funds, restricted revenues, and competitive grant funding. This structure allows the City to continue addressing deferred maintenance and community development projects without compromising fiscal stability.

A strong emphasis is placed on financial stewardship, with close monitoring of personnel Adoption of Two-Year Budget for Fiscal Years 2025-27

costs, public safety contract increases, and infrastructure spending. These efforts position the City to remain resilient amid external challenges such as inflation, uncertain revenue trends, and broader economic volatility.
with ongoing engagement of residents and stakeholders to ensure that resources are allocated equitably and effectively.

In summary, the FYs 2025 27 budget sustains high-quality municipal services, advances infrastructure improvements, and prepares the City to adapt to future uncertainties while reinforcing the values that define Carpinteria as a small, thriving beachside community.

LEGAL AND RISK MANAGEMENT CONSIDERATIONS
The preparation and presentation of the budget is consistent with Carpinteria Municipal Code Section 2.08.110(H), concerning duties of the City Manager. The City Attorney will be in attendance at the meeting to advise the City Council on legal issues and/or questions it may have related to the budget and budget approval process.

BUDGET AND FISCAL POLICIES Exhibit 1
-1-

BUDGET PURPOSE AND ORGANIZATION
A. Balanced Budget. The City will maintain a balanced budget. This means that:

1. Operating revenues should fully cover operating expenditures, including debt service.

2. Ending fund balance must meet minimum policy levels or other target levels established by the Council for the fiscal year.

Under this policy, it is allowable for total expenditures and uses to exceed revenues and other sources in a given year; however, in this situation, beginning fund balance should only be used to - -recurring expenditures. (See Fund Balance and Reserves policy for other circumstances when it would be appropriate to use beginning fund balance.)
B. Budget Objectives. Through its Budget, the City will link resources with goals and results by:

1. Identifying community needs for essential services.

2. Organizing the programs required to provide these essential services.

3. Describing programs and activities performed in delivering services.

4. Proposing objectives for improving the delivery of program services.

5. Identifying and appropriating the resources required to perform program activities and accomplish program objectives.

C. Measurable Objectives. The Budget will establish measurable program objectives and allow reasonable time to accomplish those objectives.

D. Two-Year Budget. The City will use a two-year Budget, emphasizing long-range planning and effective program management. Benefits of a two-year Budget include:

1. Improved Long-Term Planning
Allows cities to take a more strategic approach to financial and operational planning.

Provides a broader perspective on revenue and expenditure trends, making it easier to align funding with multi-year projects.

2. Encourages a Performance-Based Approach
Allows more time to measure and evaluate program effectiveness.

Departments can focus on long-term outcomes rather than short-term spending adjustments.

3. Greater Financial Stability and Predictability
BUDGET AND FISCAL POLICIES Exhibit 1
-2-
A biennial budget forces cities to take a longer-term approach to financial forecasting, helping decision-makers anticipate and plan for fluctuations in revenue (e.g., property taxes, sales taxes, tourism revenue).

By forecasting potential deficits over two years rather than one, cities can spread cost-saving measures over a longer timeframe, avoiding drastic cuts in any single year.

4. Increase Efficiency and Reduced Administrative Burden Budget development is a time-consuming process; a two-year cycle reduces the frequency of budget preparation, allowing staff to focus more on policy implementation and service delivery.

5. Potential Cost Savings
Reduces costs associated with frequent budget development, such as staff time and consulting expenses.

Minimizes inefficiencies related to short-term funding cycles.

E. Second Year Budget. Before the beginning of the second year of the two-year cycle, City Council will review progress during the first year via a Mid-Cycle Budget that focuses on fiscal changes from the Two-Year Budget; and approve appropriations for the second fiscal year.

F. Operating Carryover. Operating program appropriations not spent during the first fiscal year may be carried over for specific purposes typically multi-year projects - into the second fiscal year with the approval of the City Manager.

G. Budget Adoption by Resolution.
is not approved prior to the end of the fiscal year, the Preliminary Budget, except for capital outlays, H. Goal Status Reports. The status of major program objectives will be formally reported to the Council on an ongoing, periodic basis.

I. Mid-Year Budget Reviews.
amend appropriations, if necessary, based on six months of results and emerging trends since the beginning of the fiscal year.

Status: In Compliance. These practices are either in place or the Council has adopted a budget process and document for 2025/26 that meets these policy objectives. However, linking resources to outcomes and measuring performance will always be a work in progress, with ongoing improvements.

REVENUE MANAGEMENT
A. Current Revenues for Current Uses; One-Time Revenues for One-Time Purposes. The City will make all current expenditures with current revenues, avoiding procedures that balance current budgets by postponing needed expenditures, accruing future revenues or rolling over short-term debt. The City will avoid using one-time revenues to fund ongoing program costs.

BUDGET AND FISCAL POLICIES Exhibit 1
-3-
B. Revenue Distribution. The Council recognizes that generally accepted accounting principles for accordingly, the practice of designating General Fund revenues for specific programs should be minimized in the City's management of its fiscal affairs. In those cases where it does occur, the basis Policies.

C. Grant Management. Intergovernmental assistance in the form of grants and loans will be used to finance only:

1. Capital improvements that are consistent with capital improvement plan (CIP) priorities and can be maintained and operated over time.

2. Technological upgrades or enhancements.

3. Capital acquisition items.

4. Operating programs which either can be sustained over time or have a limited horizon.

5. Other areas as determined by the Council to be in the best interest of the City.

D. Interfund Transfers and Loans. In order to achieve important public policy goals, the City has established various special revenue and capital project funds to account for revenues whose use should be restricted to certain activities. Accordingly, each fund exists as a separate financing entity from other funds, with its own revenue sources, expenditures and fund balance.

Any transfers between funds are clearly set forth in the Budget and can only be made by the Administrative Services Director in accordance with the adopted budget. These transfers, under which financial resources are transferred from one fund to another, are distinctly different from interfund borrowings, which are usually made for temporary cash flow reasons, and are not intended to result in a transfer of financial resources by the end of the fiscal year.

In summary, interfund transfers result in a change in fund balance; interfund borrowings do not, as the intent is to repay the loan in the near term.

From time-to-time, interfund borrowings may be appropriate; however, these are subject to the following criteria in ensuring that the fiduciary purpose of the fund is met:

1. The Administrative Services Director is authorized to approve temporary interfund borrowings for cash flow purposes whenever the cash shortfall is expected to be resolved within 60 days.

The most common use of interfund borrowing under this circumstance is for grant programs, where costs are often incurred before drawdowns are initiated and received. However, receipt of funds is typically received shortly after the request for funds has been made.

2. Any other interfund borrowings for cash flow or other purposes require case-by-case approval by the Council.

3. Any transfers between funds where reimbursement is not expected within one fiscal year shall be recorded under one of the following options:

BUDGET AND FISCAL POLICIES Exhibit 1
-4-
a. Where the terms and conditions of repayment are uncertain, they should not be recorded as interfund loans but as interfund transfers that affect fund balance by moving financial resources from one fund to another. In this case, the intent to repay should be documented in the Budget or via Resolution.
b. Where repayment is more certain, long-term loans may be recorded as such; and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, their balance will be recorded as non-spendable fund balance. In this case, the terms and conditions of loan repayment, including need for the loan, source of repayment funds, interest rate (if any) and amortized repayment schedule, should be documented via Resolution.

Status: In Compliance. These practices are in place or the Council has adopted a budget process and document for 2025/26 that meets these policy objectives. There are currently no long-term interfund loans.

MINIMUM FUND BALANCE AND RESERVES
A. Reserve for Fiscal Stability, Cash Flow and Contingencies The City will strive to maintain a minimum General Fund unrestricted balance (less encumbrances and reappropriation carryovers) of at least 40% of operating and debt service expenditures plus subsidy transfers to other funds for fiscal stability, cash flow and contingencies such as economic downturns, catastrophic events and unforeseen operating or capital needs. This target is based on financial management best practices and industry standards, including the risk assessment methodology for setting reserve levels developed by the Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) in adequately addressing:

1. Economic uncertainties, local disasters, public heath crises and other financial hardships or downturns in the local or national economy.

2. Contingencies for unseen operating or capital needs, including strategic investment opportunities.

3. Unfunded liabilities such as pensions and retiree health obligations.

4. Dependency of other funds on the General Fund.

5. Institutional changes, such as State budget takeaways and unfunded mandates.

6. Cash flow requirements.
unrestricted balance falls below this target, the City will strive to restore reserves to this level within five years. As revenues versus expenditures begin moving in a positive direction, the City will allocate at least half to reserve restoration, with the balance available to fund asset replacements, unfunded liabilities, capital improvement projects, service level restorations or new operating programs.

Circumstances where taking reserves below policy levels would be appropriate include responding to the risks that reserves are intended to mitigate, such as:

1. Meeting cash flow needs during the fiscal year.

2. Closing a projected short-term revenue-expenditure gap.

3. Responding to unexpected expenditure requirements or revenue shortfalls.

4. Making investments in unfunded liability reductions, economic development and revenue base improvements, productivity improvements and similar strategic opportunities that will strengthen City revenues, reduce future costs or achieve - high-priority City goals.

5. Where a forecast shows an ongoing structural gap: providing a strategic bridge to the future by providing time to develop and implement thoughtful solutions.

BUDGET AND FISCAL POLICIES Exhibit 1
-6-
On the other hand, the City should avoid using reserves to fund ongoing costs or projected systemic -time
(or short-term) uses.

B. General Reserve. This reserve is maintained at a level of $1,000,000 with interest earned on that balance segregated for use at the Council's direction.

C. Major Asset Replacement and Repair Reserve. Similar to the General Reserve Fund, this reserve is maintained at a level of $1,000,000 with interest earned segregated for use in the Council's discretion.

D. Future Capital Project or Other Long-Term Goal Assignments or Commitments. The Council may also commit or assign specific General Fund balance levels above the reserve targets above for fleet, facility, technology and equipment replacements; major repairs; future development of capital projects, unfunded liabilities and similar policy commitments and assignments for future purposes and long-term goals that it determines to be in the best interests of the City.

E. Other Commitments and Assignments. In addition to the minimum targets noted above, unrestricted fund balance levels will be sufficient to meet funding requirements for programs or projects approved in prior years which are carried forward into the new year; debt service reserve requirements; commitments for encumbrances; and other restrictions, commitments or assignments required by contractual obligations, state law or generally accepted accounting principles.

Status: In Compliance. The 2025/26 Budget projects that the ending reserve will meet or exceed policy minimums.

FINANCIAL REPORTING AND BUDGET ADMINISTRATION
A. Annual Reporting. The City will prepare annual financial statements as follows:

1. In accordance with best practices and industry standards, the City will contract for an annual audit by a qualified independent certified public accountant. The City will strive for an

2. The City will use generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in preparing its annual financial statements. The Administrative Services Director is authorized to establish Accounting Policies as needed to conform with GAAP. The City will strive to meet the requirements of the by issuing an Annual
Comprehensive Financial Report.

3. The City will issue audited financial statements within 180 days after year-end.

4. Unexpended operating appropriations lapse at year, provided however that encumbrance balances will be carried-over and reappropriated into the following fiscal year. Project-length budgets are adopted for capital projects and accordingly unexpended/unencumbered balances will be carried over and reappropriated into the following fiscal year.

B. Interim Reporting.
to the Council and staff. This includes on-line access for authorized users management system; monthly reports to program managers; more formal quarterly reports to the Council and Department Heads; mid-year budget reviews; and interim annual reports.

C. Budget Administration. The Council may amend or supplement the budget at any time after its adoption by majority vote of the Council members. Council approval is required for all new appropriations from fund balance. The City Manager has the authority to make administrative adjustments to the budget as long as those changes will not have a significant policy impact nor affect budgeted year-end fund balances.

D. Agenda Report Review. A Fiscal Impact Statement will be provided with each staff report submitted to the Council as part of the agenda packet.

Status: In Compliance. These practices are in place.

HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT
A. Regular Staffing

1. Unless otherwise approved by the Council to achieve one-time budgetary savings, the budget will fully appropriate the resources needed for authorized regular staffing and will limit programs to the regular staffing authorized.

2. Regular employees will be the core work force and the preferred means of staffing ongoing, year-round program activities that should be performed by full-time City employees rather than independent contractors or temporary employees. The City will strive to provide competitive compensation and benefit schedules for its authorized regular workforce. Each regular employee will:
a. Fill an authorized regular position.
b. Receive salary and benefits consistent with labor agreements or other compensation plans.

3. To manage the growth of the regular workforce and overall staffing costs, the City will follow these procedures:
a. The Council will authorize all regular positions.
b. Human Resources will coordinate and approve the hiring of all regular and temporary employees. c. All requests for additional regular positions will include evaluations of:

The necessity, term and expected results of the proposed activity.

Staffing and materials costs including salary, benefits, equipment, uniforms, clerical support and facilities.

The ability of temporary staff, overtime, private industry or other government agencies to provide the proposed service.

Additional revenues or cost savings that may be realized.

BUDGET AND FISCAL POLICIES Exhibit 1
-8-
B. Temporary Staffing

1. The hiring of temporary employees will not be used as an incremental method for expanding the City's regular workforce.

2. Temporary employees include all employees other than regular employees, elected officials and volunteers. Temporary employees will generally augment regular City staffing as extra-help employees, seasonal employees, contract employees, interns and work-study assistants.

3. The City Manager and Department Heads will encourage the use of temporary rather than regular employees to meet peak workload requirements, fill interim vacancies and accomplish tasks where less than full-time, year-round staffing is required. Under this guideline, temporary employee hours will generally not exceed 50% of a regular, full-time position (1,000 hours annually). There may be limited circumstances where the use of temporary employees on an ongoing basis in excess of this target may be appropriate due to unique programming or staffing requirements. However, any such exceptions must be approved by the City Manager based on the review and recommendation of the Human Resources Administrator.

4. Contract employees are defined as temporary employees with written contracts approved by the City Manager who may receive approved benefits depending on hourly requirements and the length of their contract. Contract employees will generally be used for medium-term (generally between six months and two years) projects, programs or activities requiring specialized or augmented levels of staffing for a specific period.

The services of contract employees will be discontinued upon completion of the assigned project, program or activity. Accordingly, contract employees will not be used for services that are anticipated to be delivered on an ongoing basis.

5. Temporary staffing costs are limited by the approved Budget for these positions.

C. Overtime Management

1. Overtime should be used only when necessary and when other alternatives are not feasible or cost effective.

2. All overtime must be pre-authorized by the department head or delegate unless it is assumed preapproved by its nature. For example, overtime that results when an employee is assigned to standby and/or must respond to an emergency or complete an emergency response.

3. Departmental operating budgets should reflect anticipated annual overtime costs and departments will regularly monitor overtime use and expenditures.

4. When considering the addition of regular or temporary staffing, the use of overtime as an alternative will be considered. The department will consider:
a. The duration that additional staff resources may be needed. b. The cost of overtime versus the cost of additional staff. c. The skills and abilities of current staff.
d. Training costs associated with hiring additional staff. e. The impact of overtime on existing staff.

BUDGET AND FISCAL POLICIES Exhibit 1
-9-
D. Private Sector Independent Contractors
Private sector independent contractors are not City employees. They may be used in two situations:

1. Short-term, peak workload assignments to be accomplished using personnel contracted through an outside temporary employment agency (OEA). In this situation, it is anticipated that City staff will closely monitor the work of OEA employees and minimal training will be required. However, they will always be considered the employees of the OEA and not the City. All placements through an OEA will be coordinated through Human Resources and subject to the approval of the Human Resources Administrator.

2. Construction of public works projects and delivery of operating, maintenance or specialized professional services (such as attorneys, architects, fiscal advisors, bond counsel, engineers, scientists and other consultants) not routinely performed by City employees. Such services will be provided without close supervision by City staff, and the required methods, skills and equipment will generally be determined and provided by the contractor. Contract awards will be guided by the City's purchasing policies and procedures.

Status: In Compliance. These procedures are in place.

Exhibit A
Appropriation Limit
The appropriation limitations imposed by Proposition 4 and 111 created restrictions on the amount of revenue that can be budgeted for expenditures in any fiscal year. Not all revenues are restricted by the limit, only those which are referred to as "proceeds of taxes." The purpose of the law is to limit government spendng by putting a cap on the total proceeds of taxes that may be appropriated each year. This limit is increased annually through a formula that takes into consideration changes in population each year. This limit is increased annually through a formula that takes into consideration changes in population (City or County, whichever is higher) and an economic factor (California per capita income). The City of Carpinteria is not constrained in the current budget by these limits.

CIP Code: AT-10 Public Works Code: 15015 Finance Number: PK-19-004 Project Name: Rincon Multi-Use Trail Project
Description: The general scope of work includes a new multi-use trail between Carpinteria Avenue and Rincon County Park. The objective of this project is to close one of the gaps in the California Coastal Trail.

The California Department of Transportation is required to complete this project per the Conditional Use Permit/Coastal Development Permit of the Highway 101 Linden Avenue and Casitas Pass Road Interchanges and Via Real Extension Project.

Justification/Priority Evaluation:

The Rincon Multi-Use Trail is an undeveloped segment of the California Coastal Trail. This project was identified due to the absence of a safe and accessible connection between the developed Coastal Trail and the City. Currently, pedestrians and bicyclists must travel along the highway or cross active railroad tracks.

The project aligns with Strategic Goal #3 (Enhance Quality of Life for Residents) Priority C (Improve pedestrian, bicycle, and ADA accessibility while enhancing mobility options for all residents). The project is intended to yield community benefits by enhancing mobility and promoting safe alternative transportation. The project meets three of the five priority criteria. The project is assigned a Priority Level 1 classification for Fiscal Year 2025/26.

CIP Code: PR-44 Public Works Code: 15119 Finance Number: PK-20-005 Project Name: Dune and Shoreline Management Plan (Carpinteria Living Shoreline Project) Description: The general scope of work includes preparing and implementing the Dune and Shoreline Management Plan (Carpinteria Living Shoreline Project). The objective of this project is to protect landward resources and critical infrastructure in the beach neighborhood, areas north of Carpinteria Salt Marsh, and Downtown while minimizing beach erosion.

Justification/Priority Evaluation:

The Carpinteria Living Shoreline Project is identified as a sustainable, long-term solution to address coastal hazards impacting public infrastructure and community. Currently, hazard mitigation relies on a temporary earthen berm, which acts as a winter seasonal barrier between the ocean and developed areas. This project proposes a permanent, nature-based alternative that enhances shoreline resilience while reducing ongoing maintenance needs.

The project aligns with Strategic Goal #3 (Enhance Quality of Life for Residents) Priority A:
(Maintain and improve high-priority public infrastructure). In addition, the project secured 100% grant funding for the design phase, which presents no financial burden to the City. The project is assigned a Priority Level 1 classification for Fiscal Year 2025/26 because of its long-term community benefit and fully-funded status.

CIP Code: AT-05 Public Works Code: 15037 Finance Number: PK-23-001 Project Name: Franklin Creek Trail Improvement Project
Description: The general scope of work includes accessible surfacing, safety fencing, and adjacent accessibility connection improvements along east side Franklin Creek Trail between Carpinteria Avenue and Seventh Street. The objective of this project is to provide for a safe route to school.

Justification/Priority Evaluation:

The Franklin Trail is identified as a key, yet undeveloped, corridor within the City’s multi-use trail network. Despite its informal status, the trail is regularly used by pedestrians including students from the nearby Aliso School as a safer and more direct route compared to adjacent streets. However, the existing conditions present several hazards, such as an uneven surface, absence of fencing, and lack of lighting, limit accessibility and raise safety concerns. The project seeks to address deficiencies through pedestrian facility upgrades to comply with Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards and a safe route to school.

The project aligns with Strategic Goal #3 (Enhance Quality of Life for Residents), Priority C (Improve pedestrian, bicycle, and ADA accessibility while enhancing mobility options for all residents). The project secured $999,000 in grant funding and is fully funded for Fiscal Year. The project is intended to deliver community benefits by trail accessibility and connectivity. The project meets four of the five priority criteria. The project is assigned a Priority Level 1 classification for Fiscal Year 2025/26.

CIP Code: PR-09 Public Works Code: 15056 Finance Number: PK-23-005 Project Name: Linden Avenue Beach-End Beautification Project (Linden Plaza Project) Description:

The general scope of work includes beautification improvements at the Linden Avenue beach-end.

The objective of this project is to provide for a more aesthetically pleasing urban park environment and transition to Carpinteria Beach.

Justification/Priority Evaluation:

In partnership with the California Department of Parks and Recreation, the project was identified as an opportunity to enhance the user and visitor experience for both the Carpinteria Beach and adjacent campground. The project proposes an improved, dedicated public space for recreation and relaxation that contributes to the overall appeal and functionality of the area.

The project met two of the five priority criteria including community benefit through the enhancement of a public recreational space and secured grant funding, respectively. Although three criteria were not met, the project’s Priority Level 1 classification is assigned because of its 100% grant funding status which reduces financial impact on the City’s budget.

CIP Code: PR-23 Public Works Code: 15074 Finance Number: TBD Project Name: Carpinteria Community Pool Improvements Project Description: The general scope of work includes building system upgrades and a new small pool. The objective of this project is to upgrade electrical, mechanical, and plumbing systems; remodeling; and provide for an additional pool area for smaller non-swimming lap water activities.

Justification/Priority Evaluation:

The Carpinteria Community Pool warrants rehabilitation to maintain safe, functional operations.

In response, the Parks, Recreation, and Community Services Department commissioned a comprehensive needs assessment. Upon completion of the assessment, specific improvements will be identified. Preliminary observations indicate the need for system upgrades and building reconfiguration to accommodate expanded programming and staffing.

The project aligns with Strategic Goal #3 (Enhance Quality of Life for Residents), Priority B (Enhance existing recreational opportunities).

Priority Criteria Met: 1) Strategic Alignment 2) Deferred Maintenance 3) Community Benefit CIP Code: ST-59 & ST-64 Public Works Code: 15133 & 15134 Finance Number: ST-23-001 Project Name: 2023 Pavement Rehabilitation Project
Description: The general scope of work includes pavement rehabilitation, pedestrian facility upgrades (e.g. curb ramps and sidewalks) as needed for compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and drainage improvements. The objective of this project is to rehabilitate pavement using technologies and material recycling techniques that lower greenhouse gas emissions and reduce the cost of pavement maintenance through material choice and construction methods and to provide for ADA accessibility upgrades.

Justification/Priority Evaluation:

Consistent with roadway infrastructure management best practices, pavement rehabilitation is essential when streets exceed a useful service life. Using the City’s Pavement Management System the streets that proposed in this project are identified as poor or failed condition, which warrants rehabilitation. In addition to pavement improvements, the project will include pedestrian facility upgrades for accessibility to comply with ADA standards.

The project aligns with Strategic Goal #3 (Enhance Quality of Life for Residents), Priority A Maintain and improve high-priority public infrastructure) and addresses deferred maintenance needs. The anticipated outcomes include long-term community benefits through the delivery of safer, smoother roadways and accessible pedestrian facilities. The project meets three of the five priority criteria. However, it is recommended for programming contingency budget towards design revisions due to funding constraints and project cost for Fiscal Year 2025/26 and deferring construction to a subsequent fiscal year.

Proposed Streets:

Calle Rey Mar (from Arbol Verde Street to End)
Concha Loma Drive (from Arbol Verde Street to Calle Ocho) Holly Avenue (from Sawyer Avenue to Carpinteria Avenue) Linden Avenue (from Railroad Tracks to South End)

COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT

ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
Adopt Resolution No. 6411 Amending the Conditions of Employment for Miscellaneous Unrepresented and Management Personnel, Including Updates to the Merit Pay Cap, Leave Accrual Provisions, Health Insurance Contributions, and Other Clarifying Revisions.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Resolution No. 6411, amending the Conditions of Employment between the City of Carpinteria and Miscellaneous and Management Personnel, including updates to the merit pay cap, leave accrual provisions, health insurance contributions, and other clarifying revisions, for the period of July 1, 2025 June 30, 2026, and authorize the City Manager to implement the changes effective July 1, 2025.

Sample Motion: I move to adopt Resolution No. 6411, as read by title only.

BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
Since 1992, the City of Carpinteria maintained two separate Conditions of Employment (COE) documents for unrepresented employees one for Miscellaneous Unrepresented Personnel and another for Management Personnel.

On July 8, 2024, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 6339, which consolidated the two documents into a single unified COE applicable to both groups. This consolidation improved administrative efficiency, clarified distinctions between employee classifications, and aligned benefit provisions and work practices across the organization. In addition to combining the documents, the 2024 updates included revisions to work schedules, clarified and standardized leave benefits, updated health benefit provisions to reflect current practices, and incorporated formatting changes to improve consistency and readability. The COE adopted under Resolution No. 6339 is set to expire on June 30, 2025.

The proposed changes for Fiscal Year 2025 2026 were provided to Management and Miscellaneous designated staff on June 18, 2025, and the associated fiscal Agenda Section: Other Business
Agenda Item No.: 9
Council Meeting Date: June 23, 2025
Resolution No. 6411

impacts were discussed with the Finance Committee on May 29, 2025, under Agenda Item No. 3 Draft Proposed Budget for FY 2025 27, which included the General Fund and Measure X Fund Summaries and an overview of all funds for FY 2025 26 and 2026 27.

Prior to the adoption of Resolution No. 6339, the City provided the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) with a side letter outlining proposed changes for their consideration, with the intent of incorporating the same benefit modifications into their Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) upon their approval. At that time, SEIU declined the proposed changes. With the introduction of Resolution No. 6411 which includes one new health benefit enhancement in addition to the previously declined items the City again provided SEIU with a side letter summarizing the changes. This side letter was delivered on June 17, 2025, with a request for SEIU to notify the City by July 8, 2025, whether they wish to accept both the previously declined changes and the new changes proposed in Resolution No. 6411 on June 23, 2025. The City remains committed to engaging in good faith discussions on these matters with SEIU, its representative, and all of its members.

The purpose of this agenda item is to adopt Resolution No. 6411, amending the Conditions of Employment (COE) between the City of Carpinteria and Miscellaneous and Management Personnel for Fiscal Year 2025 2026. The proposed updates include changes to the merit pay cap, leave accrual provisions, and health insurance contributions, as well as other clarifying revisions. These changes promote administrative consistency, align with current legal and fiscal practices, and support effective personnel management across the organization.

DISCUSSION
Resolution No. 6411 (provided in Attachment A), titled "A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Carpinteria Approving and Adopting Revisions to the Conditions of Employment for the Miscellaneous and Management Personnel for Fiscal Year 2025 2026 and Superseding Resolution No. 6339," includes Exhibit 1, the proposed Conditions of Employment (COE) for Miscellaneous and Management Personnel. A redline version showing all proposed changes is included as Attachment B.

Key administrative updates to the title and body of the Conditions of Employment include:
groups are unrepresented.

Replacing gender-specific pronouns with gender-neutral language to ensure alignment with current professional standards and support inclusivity.

Resolution No. 6411
June 23, 2025

Additional substantive updates to the Conditions of Employment are summarized below by section:

Section 3: Compensation and Benefits

3.3 Base Wage Adjustment: Reaffirms a 5% cap on merit increases continued budget constraints, as was also the case last year.

3.8 Overtime Compensation:
o H: Removes the requirement that employees submit overtime preference "in writing," as this preference is now captured directly via electronic timesheets.
o L: Clarifies that employees may cash out overtime hours up to a maximum of 80 hours per fiscal year, aligning
year budget practices.

Section 4: Leave Regulations

4.1 Management Leave: Removes outdated language referencing Flextime hours, which is no longer applicable.

4.2 Annual Personal Time Off (PTO): Adds language to allow PTO within the first 30 days of employment, if authorized by the City Manager.

4.4 Leave Accrual: Adds a reference to the annual PTO schedule in subsection C to clarify how leave is accrued and recorded.

4.5 PTO Schedule: Content is reorganized for improved readability and flow; no changes are made to the accrual rates or eligibility.

4.8 PTO Cash-Out Options:
o Expands the types of leave that count toward the 40-hour usage requirement (e.g. Floating Holiday, Management Leave, etc.), promoting healthy leave usage.
o Clarifies that while the maximum cash-out remains 80 hours, it will be tracked on a fiscal year basis rather than calendar year, which oversight.

4.12 Bereavement Leave: Updates the policy to comply with current law requiring employers to provide up to five days of bereavement leave. Of those five days, three will be paid by the City, consistent with prior practice and legal requirements.

Section 5: Legal Holidays

5.2 Floating Holiday: COE 6339 provided 24 Floating Holiday hours per calendar year to Miscellaneous and Management employees with the 2024 calendar year floating holiday hours prorated to July 1, 2024.

Language referencing 2024 calendar year prorated hours is removed since the benefit is now fully implemented. Floating Holiday hours will remain pro-rated based on date of hire.

Resolution No. 6411
June 23, 2025

Section 8: Health Benefits

8.1 Life Insurance: Adds clarification that life insurance coverage exceeding $50,000 paid by the employer is subject to taxation to the employee under IRS regulations.

8.2 Health Insurance:
o Eliminates the complex formula used to calculate employee contributions based on salary and annual premium increases. The calculation method which factors salary and year-to-year premium increases is time-intensive, error-prone, and administratively burdensome. The proposed change simplifies benefit
administration and ensures cost transparency.
o The City will contribute the full premium cost of the most affordable and comprehensive network HMO health plan available in Ventura City Manager will designate the base plan at open enrollment time. o Employees selecting a more expensive plan will continue to pay the difference in cost between the elected and base plan.
o This change reflects the
and employee benefits in a fiscally responsible manner. By eliminating the need for complex cost-sharing calculations, the new approach will significantly reduce staff time and is projected to increase City expenses by only $15,000.

8.9 Flexible Benefit Program:
o from the title for clarity and to more accurately
reflect the purpose of this benefit.
o Clarifies that the benefit allowance is intended to support out-ofpocket employee costs including health and supplemental premiums, flexible spending accounts, and optional 457 retirement plan contributions.
o Updates the annual allowance to $1,362.58 for calendar year 2025 and $1,389.83 for calendar year 2026, consistent with the 2% annual increase previously adopted by the City Council in the Conditions of Employment.
o Adds language to clarify that the benefit is prorated for new employees.

8.10 Outside Coverage Option:
o Clarifies that employees who decline City health plan coverage will receive 50% of the base plan premium, and employees electing employee only coverage but waive coverage for all their eligible dependents will receive 25% of the base plan premium.

Section 11: Miscellaneous Policies

11.5 Translation Pay: Adds a provision consistent with the SEIU Resolution No. 6411
June 23, 2025

Memorandum of Understanding to provide compensation to any employee whom the City Manager determines is required on a regular and frequent basis to translate or interpret in a second language with the public. This benefit supports equitable service delivery and enhances communication

11.6 Move-Up Pay Assignment: Removes duplicated language stating an employee is eligible for move-up pay if capable of handling the major duties without any more supervision than an employee who regularly works in the higher classification is duplicated. Removal of the duplicated language improves clarity and aligns with current practice.

POLICY CONSISTENCY
This action supports the City s FY 2025 Strategic Plan Primary Goal #5: "Invest in a High-Performance Team at City Hall." It reflects the City s ongoing efforts to retain, support, and fairly compensate staff while ensuring legal compliance and administrative consistency.

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
All proposed changes have been incorporated into the adopted Fiscal Year 2025 2026 -term financial planning and staffing
strategies.

LEGAL AND RISK MANAGEMENT CONSIDERATIONS
There are no legal or risk management concerns.

OPTIONS

1. Adopt Resolution No. 6411

A member of the Armed Forces, including the National Guard and Reserves, who, because of a serious injury or illness incurred in the line of duty while on active duty that may render the member medically unfit to perform the duties of the member's office, grade, rank, or rating, is: (1) undergoing medical treatment, recuperation, or therapy; (2) in outpatient status; or (3) on the temporary disability retired list; or
d. A veteran who is undergoing medical treatment, recuperation, or therapy, for a serious injury or illness and who was a member of the Armed Forces (including a member of the National Guard or Reserves) at any time during the period of five (5) years preceding the date on which the veteran undergoes that medical treatment, recuperation, or therapy.

B. Amount of FMLA Leave Available
a. Provided all the conditions of this policy are met, an employee may take a maximum of twelve (12) weeks total of family care leave, medical leave, and qualifying exigency leave under the FMLA in a 12-month period. This 12-month period is measured backwards from the date the employee's family care leave, medical leave, or qualifying exigency leave under the FMLA commences. Spouses who are both employed by the City may take a maximum combined total of twelve weeks of family care leave under the FMLA in a 12-month period for the birth, adoption, or foster care of their child.
b. Provided all of the conditions of this policy are met, an employee may take up to 26 weeks total of a combination of all leaves under the FMLA during a 12-month period (up to 12 weeks of which may be for FMLA leave other than military caregiver leave). The 12-month period used to measure this entitlement will commence upon the first use of military caregiver leave under the FMLA for a covered service member's particular injury.

CFRA Leave
"Family care leave" may be requested under the CFRA for (1) the birth or adoption of an employee's child, (2) the placement of a foster child with the employee; or (3) the serious health condition of an employee's child, spouse, domestic partner as defined in California Family Code Section 297, or parent. Under the CFRA, "child" means a child, including a child who is 18 years of age or older who is capable of self-care. An employee's child means a biological, adopted, foster, step-child, legal ward, a child of a domestic partner, or a person to whom the employee stands in Conditions of Employment
July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2026

loco parentis. Under the CFRA only, leave is permitted to care for a domestic partner, grandparent, grandchild, or sibling who has a serious health condition. Leave for this purpose does not apply to FMLA leave and will not run concurrently with leave under the FMLA. "Medical leave" may be requested for an employee's own serious health condition. A "serious health condition" is one that requires either in-patient care in a medical facility or continuing treatment or supervision by a health care provider.

Under the CFRA only, leave for "qualifying exigencies" arising out of the fact that an employee's domestic partner is on active duty or call to active-duty status in the National Guard or Reserves in support of a contingency operation. Leave for this purpose does not apply to FMLA leave and will not run concurrently with leave under the FMLA.

Provided all of the conditions of this policy are met, an employee may take up to twelve (12) weeks of leave under the CFRA during a 12-month period. This 12-month period is measured backwards from the date the employee's family care leave or medical leave under the CFRA commences.

If both parents of a child, adoptee, or foster child are employed by the City and are entitled to bonding leave:

A. The aggregate number of workweeks of FMLA leave to which both may be entitled may be limited to 12 workweeks during any 12-month period; and B. Each parent is entitled to take 12 workweeks of CFRA leave during any 12-month period.

If both parents of a covered service member are employed by the City and are entitled to leave to care for a covered service member, the aggregate number of workweeks of leave to which both may be entitled is limited to 26 work weeks during the 12-month period. This limitation does not apply to any other type of leave under this policy.

Family care leave and medical leave under the CFRA typically run concurrently with family care leave and/or medical leave under the FMLA, except as otherwise set forth herein.

Intermittent Leave
FMLA/CFRA Leave taken for the birth, adoption, or foster care placement of a child generally must be taken in blocks of at least two (2) weeks' duration; however, the City will provide employees with family care leave for birth, adoption, or foster care placement for periods of less than two (2) weeks duration on any two (2) occasions. FMLA/CFRA Leave taken for the birth, adoption, or foster care placement of a child must be concluded within one (1) year of the birth, adoption, or placement.

Qualifying exigency leave under the FMLA may be taken on an intermittent or reduced schedule as required by the qualifying exigency.

FMLA/CFRA Leave for any other reason may be taken intermittently or on a reduced schedule where medically necessary. If FMLA/CFRA Leave is authorized to be taken intermittently or on a reduced schedule, the City retains the discretion to transfer the employee temporarily to an alternative position with equivalent pay and benefits which better accommodates the employee's leave schedule.

Substitution of Paid Leave
Employees are required to substitute accrued paid time off, including accrued compensatory time off, for all FMLA/CFRA Leaves, except that employees can retain a five (5) day balance of accrued paid time off.

Conditions of Employment
July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2026

If the employee is receiving payments from State Disability Insurance ("SDI") while on FMLA/CFRA leave, the accrued paid leave time will only be used in an amount which supplements the SDI payment such that the employee receives the full amount of their regular compensation as an active employee.

The substitution of paid leave time for FMLA/CFRA Leave does not extend the total duration of FMLA/CFRA Leave to which an employee is entitled. For example, if an employee has accrued two (2) weeks of unused paid vacation time at the time of the request for medical leave under the FMLA/CFRA, that paid vacation time will be substituted for the first two (2) weeks of FMLA/CFRA Leave, leaving up to ten (10) additional weeks of unpaid FMLA/CFRA Leave.

Leave's Effect on Pay
Except to the extent that other paid leave time 1s substituted for FMLA/CFRA Leave, FMLA/CFRA Leave is unpaid.

Leave's Effect on Benefits
During an employee's FMLA/CFRA Leave, the City shall continue to pay for the employee's participation in the City's group health insurance to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as would apply had the employee not taken leave. Employees are required to continue to make any payments they normally make towards healthcare coverage premiums while on leave.

In the event an employee on leave fails to make timely payment for their portion of healthcare coverage premiums, the City will notify the employee of such failure and, if payment is not made, terminate the coverage.

If the employee fails to return from the leave for a reason other than the recurrence or continuation of the health condition that brought about the leave or other circumstances beyond the employee's control, the City is entitled to recover any health premiums paid by the City on the employee's behalf during any unpaid period of the leave.

Employees on FMLA/CFRA Leave accrue employment benefits, such as paid time off or seniority, only when paid time off is being substituted for unpaid leave and only if the employee would otherwise be entitled to such accrual. If the employee is using accrued paid time off to supplement SDI payments as discussed above, he or she will accrue employment benefits on a pro rata basis.

Procedure for Requesting Family Care and Medical Leave
Notice Requirements
Employees should notify the Human Resources/Risk Manager of their request for FMLA/CFRA Leave as soon as they are aware of the need for such leave. For foreseeable events, if possible, the employee shall provide thirty (30) calendar days' advance written notice to the Human Resources/Risk Manager of the need for FMLA/CFRA Leave. For events that are unforeseeable thirty (30) days in advance, but are not emergencies, the employee must notify the Human Resources/Risk Manager, in writing, as soon as he/she learns of the need for the leave, ordinarily no later than one (1) to two (2) working days after the employee learns of the need for the leave.

If the leave is requested in connection with a planned, non-emergency medical treatment, the employee may be requested to reschedule the treatment so as to minimize disruption of the City's business.

If an employee fails to provide the requisite 30-day advance notice for foreseeable events without any reasonable excuse for the delay, the City reserves the right to deny the taking of the leave. All requests for FMLA/CFRA Leave should include anticipated date(s) and duration of the leave. Any Conditions of Employment
July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2026

requests for extensions of an FMLA/CFRA Leave must be received at least five (5) working days before the date on which the employee was originally scheduled to return to work and must include the revised anticipated date(s) and duration of the family care or medical leave.

Certification
Any request for FMLA/CFRA Leave must be supported by proper certification of the need for leave. For foreseeable leaves, employees must provide the required certification before the leave begins. When this is not possible, employees must provide the required certification within fifteen (15) calendar days after the City's request for certification, unless it is not practicable under the circumstances to do so, despite the employee's good faith efforts. Failure to provide the required certification may result in the denial of foreseeable leaves until such certification is provided. In the case of unforeseeable leaves, failure to provide the required certification within fifteen days of being requested to do so may result in a denial of the employee's continued leave. Any request for an extension of the leave also must be supported by an updated certification.

Certification of family care leave under the FMLA/CFRA shall include (1) the date on which the serious health condition commenced; (2) the probable duration of the condition; (3) the health care provider's estimate of the amount of time needed for family care; and (4) the health care provider's assurance that the health care condition requires family care leave.

Certification of medical leave under the FMLA/CFRA shall include (1) the date on which the serious health condition commenced; (2) the probable duration of the condition; (3) a statement that, due to the serious health condition, the employee is unable to perform the functions of their position; and (4) in the case of intermittent leave or revised schedule leave where medically necessary, the probably duration of such a schedule. In addition, the certificate may, at the employee's option, identify the nature of the serious health condition involved. If the City has reason to doubt the validity of the certification provided by the employee, the City may require the employee to obtain a second opinion from a doctor of the City's choosing at the City's expense. If the employee's health care provider and the doctor providing the second opinion do not agree, the City may require a third opinion, also at the City's expense, performed by a mutually agreeable doctor who will make a final determination. Before permitting the employee to return to work, the City may also require the employee to provide medical certification that he or she is able to return to work.

Certification of a military caregiver leave under the FMLA shall be either (1) an appropriate medical certification from an authorized health care provider or (2) a copy of an Invitation Travel Order or Authorization issued by the Department of Defense.

The nature and format of the certification of a qualifying exigency leave under the FMLA will vary depending on the nature of the qualifying exigency, and will typically include a copy of the active-duty orders for the employee's spouse, son, daughter, or parent.

Leave's Effect on Reinstatement
Employees returning from FMLA/CFRA leave are entitled to reinstatement to the same or comparable position consistent with applicable law, provided that the total period of the FMLA/CFRA Leave does not exceed the employee's maximum leave entitlement as described above.

Employees who take medical leave under the FMLA/CFRA for their own serious health condition must provide medical certifications verifying that they are able to return to work in the same manner as employees who return to work from other types of medical leave.

Conditions of Employment
July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2026

Pregnancy Disability Leave (POL)
Under the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA), if an employee is disabled by pregnancy, childbirth or related medical conditions, she is eligible to take a pregnancy disability leave (PDL). If an employee is affected by pregnancy or a related medical condition, she is also eligible to transfer to a less strenuous or hazardous position or to less strenuous or hazardous duties, if this transfer is medically advisable.

A. The PDL is for any period(s) of actual disability caused by pregnancy, childbirth or related medical conditions up to four (4) months (or eighty-eight (88) work days for a full-time employee) per pregnancy. For a full-time employee who works 40 hours per week, "four months" means 693 hours of leave entitlement, based on 40 hour per week times 17 1/3 weeks. An employee who works less than 40 hours per week will receive a pro rata or proportional amount of leave.

B. The PDL does not need to be taken in one continuous period of time but can be taken on an as-needed basis.

C. Time off needed for prenatal care, severe morning sickness, doctor ordered bed rest, childbirth, and recovery from childbirth would all be covered by the PDL.

D. Except as other specifically provided in this section, generally, the City is required to treat pregnancy disability the same as the City treats other disabilities of similarly situated employees. The leave will be unpaid.

Employees on PDL will be required to obtain a written certification from their health care provider of the pregnancy disability or the medical advisability for a transfer. The certification should include:

A. The date on which the employee becomes disabled due to pregnancy or the date of the medical advisability for the transfer;
B. The probable duration of the period(s) of disability or the period (s) for the advisability of the transfer, and
C. A statement that, due to the disability, the employee is unable to work at all or to perform any one or more of the essential functions of the position without undue risk to themself, the successful completion of the pregnancy or to other persons or a statement that, due to your pregnancy, the transfer is medically advisable.

At the employee's option, any accrued paid time off may be used as part of the pregnancy disability leave before taking the remainder of the leave as an unpaid leave. However, taking paid time off during the period of the pregnancy disability leave does not extend the maximum time allowed for such leave.

Employees may also be eligible for state disability insurance for the unpaid portion of the leave.

Employees on PDL accrue employment benefits, such as paid time off or seniority, only when paid time off is being substituted for unpaid leave and only if the employee would otherwise be entitled to such accrual. If the employee is using accrued paid time off to supplement SDI payments, she will accrue employment benefits on a pro rata basis.

An employee who is on a leave of absence for a period in excess of two (2) months must notify the Human Resources/Risk Manager by the end of each month thereafter both of the status of the Conditions of Employment
July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2026

disability and the employee's continued intent to work once the employee recovers from the disability. An employee returning from an absence shall be required to provide a physician's certification that indicates that she is fit to return to work.

An employee who returns to work at the end of a leave of absence due to pregnancy, childbirth or related medical condition will be returned to their former position, if possible, or will be offered the first available opening in a comparable position for which she is qualified.

An employee who returns from a leave of absence due to pregnancy will be credited with all service prior to the commencement of their disability.

An employee who fails to report for work at the end of an approved leave will be deemed to have voluntarily resigned.

During an employee's approved PDL, the City shall continue to pay for the employee's participation in the City's group health insurance to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as would apply had the employee not taken leave, for up to four months. Employees are required to continue to make any payments they normally make towards healthcare coverage premiums while on leave. In the event an employee on leave fails to make timely payment for their portion of healthcare coverage premiums, the City will notify the employee of such failure and, if payment is not made, terminate the coverage. The City is entitled to recover any health premiums paid by the City on the employee's behalf during any unpaid period of the leave if the employee fails to return from the PDL for a reason other than one of the following: (1) the employee takes FMLA/CFRA Leave; (2) the continuation, recurrence or onset of a serious health condition or serious injury or illness within the meaning of FMLA/CFRA; or (3) other circumstances beyond the employee's control as provided by law.

Employees on PDL accrue employment benefits, such as paid time off or seniority, only when paid leave is being substituted for unpaid leave and only if the employee would otherwise be entitled to such accrual. If the employee is using accrued paid time off to supplement SDI payments as discussed above, he or she will accrue employment benefits on a pro rata basis.

Paid Family Leave
Employees who are covered by the state's SDI program will be eligible for reimbursement for up to six (6) weeks during a twelve (12) month period of qualifying unpaid leave, for the purposes of bonding with a newborn child (up to one (1) year from birth or adoption), or to care for a family member or domestic partner.

An employee who is eligible for SDI benefits may only become eligible for PFL benefits after SDI benefits are no longer being paid. SDI benefits are payable when an employee is disabled for a non-work-related reason, which may include pregnancy; PFL benefits are for baby bonding and for providing care to a family member. Once an employee is no longer disabled, and (in the case of pregnancy) has given birth, their SDI benefits may cease and she may apply for baby bonding benefits under PFL.

Once an employee applies for PFL, there is a seven (7) day unpaid waiting period before the employee may start receiving benefits. However, an employee who previously served a waiting period before receiving SDI benefits will not have to serve another waiting period before receiving PFL benefits. Employees may use their accrued paid time off during the seven (7) day waiting period.

Paid Family Leave is administered by the State of California and may be modified by the State from time to time.

Conditions of Employment
July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2026

4.12 DEATH OR CRITICAL ILLNESS IN IMMEDIATE FAMILY BEREAVEMENT LEAVE:

An employee eligible for benefits, is eligible for bereavement leave upon the death of a qualifying family member. Eligible employees may take up to five (5) days of bereavement leave per occurrence. The first three (3) working days
regular ate of pay
Bereavement leave must be taken within three (3) months of the date of death and may be used consecutively or intermittently. Employees shall provide reasonable notice to the City Manager or designee to allow for operational planning.

Qualifying family members, include spouse, domestic partner, child, brother, sister, parent (including step family and in-laws), grandparents and grandchildren when the relationship of the person to the employee warrants such use of bereavement leave. Where such death or critical illness has occurred, the employee shall furnish satisfactory evidence of such death or critical illness to their department head.

The City may require reasonable documentation of the death, such as a death certificate, obituary, or funeral program, to be provided within thirty (30) days of the first day of leave. Bereavement leave is in addition to any other accrued leave or compensatory time and does not carry over year to year.

Leave to attend the funeral of a co-worker will be acceptable to the City upon Department Head approval consistent with maintenance of operations. Such leave is considered leave with pay and not charged to any other leave.

4.13 CONFLICT OF LAWS:

In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Conditions of Employment and Federal or State laws, such Federal or State laws shall prevail.

SECTION 5: LEGAL HOLIDAYS

5.1 DESIGNATED LEGAL HOLIDAYS:

The City has established the following schedule of days that shall be observed as legal holidays by all affected regular full-time employees, at which time the City's administrative offices will be closed. The City observes twelve holidays and provides three (3) eight (8)-hour Floating Holidays.

New Year's Day January 1st
Martin Luther King Day 3rd Monday in January
President's Day 3rd Monday in February
Memorial Day Last Monday in May
Juneteenth June 19th
Conditions of Employment
July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2026

Independence Day July 4th
Labor Day 1st Monday in September
Veteran's Day November 11th
Thanksgiving Day 4th Thursday in November
Friday following Thanksgiving 4th Friday in November
Christmas Eve The day before or after*
Christmas Day December 25
New Eve The day before or after*
Floating Holiday Three Eight-Hour Days (24 Hours)
*As determined by the City Council
When a holiday falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the preceding Friday or the following Monday respectively shall be observed as the legal holiday. If the holiday falls on an employee's flex day, the flex day may be rescheduled within the same work week.

Rescheduled flex days off that are rescheduled because a holiday falls on that day are subject to prior approval by the Department Head and appropriate notification to the Administrative Services Department.

Observance of a legal holiday on a Friday or Monday, at which time the City's Administrative offices will be closed, will not create overtime or the loss of time from an employee's leave bank if the holiday falls on a regularly scheduled flex day. The hours for any given holiday will relate to the number of hours of the employee's regular scheduled work day for that particular day.

Nothing in this Conditions of Employment shall preclude the City from declaring a holiday when a legal holiday has been declared by the President of the United States or the Governor of the State of California or the City Council.

5.2 FLOATING HOLIDAY:

In the first pay period each January, full-time employees shall be granted three (3) eight-hour Floating Holidays (24 hours), to be scheduled and taken in accordance with the best interest of the City and the department or division in which the employee is employed.

Employees hired during the calendar year will receive prorated Floating Holiday hours based on date of hire. Floating Holiday hours shall be used in the calendar year in which they are earned, have no cash value, and shall not be paid out or carried forward; and therefore, agreement to this section constitutes a waiver of Labor Code section 227.3.

5.3 HOLIDAY PAY:

A. Unless otherwise provided herein, a regular full-time employee not working on a holiday will receive eight (8) hours holiday pay at their normal straight time rate, Conditions of Employment
July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2026

exclusive of shift or temporary or relief supervisory differentials. Said holiday pay shall not be paid if the employee is not in a pay status the last normal working day before a holiday or the first normal working day after such holiday. See Section 3.1 ten (10) hour day, the employee must use one (1) or two (2) hour(s) of leave accrual, such as Annual PTO, floating holiday, or compensatory time to fulfill the nine (9) or ten (10) hour day.

B. Holiday hours shall be used in the calendar year in which they are earned.

C. Holiday-In-Lieu Bank: In the event an employee may be required to work on a paid holiday, the employee may bank the holiday hours up to a maximum of 40 hours per calendar year. Any unused holiday bank hours can be rolled over into the next calendar year.
a. In the event a Management employee is required to work on a paid holiday, the employee will receive eight (8) Holiday-In-Lieu hours in their Holiday In-Lieu bank.
b. In the event a Miscellaneous employee is required to work on a paid holiday, the employee shall receive regular pay and will have the option of receiving overtime pay at time and one-half or bank the eight (8) hours in their HolidayIn-Lieu bank.

D. If a holiday falls on a normal workday which is during an approved leave, at the employee's option the employee will not be charged for a leave day the day of the holiday, or may be given an additional day at the beginning or end of their leave.

Holidays which fall on normal working days within an unpaid leave of absence, will not be counted as workdays and will not be recognized for pay purposes. For a Miscellaneous employee who is scheduled to work on a holiday but fails to report for work and fails to notify the City or provide evidence of an emergency is unexcused and will not receive payment for the holiday.

SECTION 6: WORKERS' COMPENSATION INSURANCE
When an employee is injured on duty arising out of and in the course of employment (which shall not be construed as an employee's normal commute to and from work), such employee shall receive benefits and incur obligations as follows:

For a period not to exceed six months, commencing with the first day following such injury, while a full-time City employee is totally disabled from industrial injury and on accepted workers' compensation status, employee shall be compensated in an amount equal to such employee's base wages at the time of such disability, less the aggregate of (a) any workers' compensation benefits, and (b) any other disability payments made to such employee. Such payment shall be limited to said six-month period or until such employee is retired on permanent disability or terminated from the City's employment, whichever comes first.

An employee shall be entitled to benefits at the normal rate if the employee is on accepted workers' compensation status and in a pay status for up to six months as defined above.

The workers' compensation carrier of the City reserves the right to subrogate if a claim is filed by Conditions of Employment
July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2026

an employee against a third party.

SECTION 7: RETIREMENT PROGRAM
A. The City shall continue to participate in the California Public Employees Retirement System (CalPERS). Under CalPERS, the City provides the 2%@55 Miscellaneous Plan formula for employees who are "Classic Members" as defined by the Public Employees' Pension Reform Act of 2013 (PEPRA). Under CalPERS, the City provides, 2%@63 Miscellaneous Plan formula for employees who are as defined by PEPRA. Employees who are classified as PEPRA are subject to the other CalPERS terms and conditions set forth in PEPRA.

B. City employees who are considered as "Classic Members" shall share in the cost of CalPERS coverage through payroll deduction as follows:

Employees will continue to contribute a portion of the required employer contribution equal to 4.5% of This 4.5% contribution by employees to the employer contribution will be considered to be a contribution towards the normal cost as defined under PEPRA.

In addition, the
(EPMC) shall be reduced as follows:

Three and one-half percent (3.5%) of normal contribution of the Employer Paid Member Contribution (EPMC) and Four and one-half percent (4.5%) "compensation earnable" by employees to the employer contribution will be considered to be a contribution towards the normal cost as defined under PEPRA.

C.
contribution amount. However, PEPRA Members will not contribute toward any portion of the required employer contribution.

D. The City shall continue to report the value of the EPMC on all reportable compensation subject to CalPERS for all employees as approved and adopted by Resolution.

SECTION 8: HEALTH BENEFITS PROGRAMS

8.1 LIFE INSURANCE:
