Dear Cathedral City “Finance Advisory Committee Selection Committee”.
I am writing to express my interest in serving on the Cathedral City Finance Advisory Committee. As a proud resident of Cathedral City for the past 20 years, I am deeply committed to contributing to the well-being and fiscal health of our community.
Throughout the years, I have served in leadership roles and on executive boards of diverse nonprofit organizations, including the Rotary Club, LULAC, National Charity League (NCL), and the Palm Springs Teachers Association. My civic engagement has also included active participation in school board committees such as the SCUSD Budget Committee, the District English Learners Advisory Committee, and the School Site Council. These experiences have allowed me to develop a strong understanding of public service, financial oversight, and community advocacy.
My dedication to these roles has strengthened my ability to collaborate, assess financial priorities, and ensure transparency—skills I believe are essential for a meaningful contribution to the Finance Advisory Committee. I am eager to bring my experience, perspective, and deep-rooted commitment to civic engagement to this role.
It would be an honor to support and represent our community through thoughtful and informed participation on the committee. Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the opportunity to serve.
Warm regards,

Item No. 2.B
Meeting Date: June 25, 2025
From: Andrew Firestine, AICP, Director of Community and Economic Development
Title: Economic Development Update: Strategic Partnerships, Auto Industry Analysis, and Development Dashboard Tools
RECOMMENDATION:
This report is for information and discussion only.
BACKGROUND:
Cathedral City is modernizing its approach to economic development in response to regional competition and evolving business needs. This shift includes a Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats (SWOT) analysis of the City’s automotive corridor, led by Kosmont Companies, to address infrastructure and marketing challenges. At the same time, the City is enhancing small business support by ending its Professional Services Agreement with the Chamber of Commerce and partnering with the Coachella Valley Women’s Business Center and the Small Business Development Center to deliver structured, trackable programs. To promote transparency, a new GIS-based Development Dashboard has been launched, offering real-time updates on active projects. These efforts reflect a move toward proactive, data-driven, and transparent economic development.
DISCUSSION:
Cathedral City is undergoing a strategic shift in how it delivers economic development services and communicates project activity to the public. In response to emerging regional competition, the evolving needs of local businesses, and a commitment to data-driven governance, the City is transitioning away from traditional service delivery models and investing in targeted initiatives designed to generate measurable economic outcomes. This multi-pronged effort includes a comprehensive SWOT analysis of the local automotive industry, the realignment of small business support programs, and the launch of a new online Development Dashboard to increase transparency and engagement around active projects.
Earlier this year, the City engaged Kosmont Companies to begin a focused SWOT analysis of Cathedral City’s automotive industry. The automotive sector remains one of the City’s most significant sources of sales tax revenue and commercial activity. However, dealerships face increasing pressure from surrounding cities such as Indio and La Quinta, which have begun enhancing their dealership corridors through incentives, branding, and infrastructure investments. While the final report is still in development, Kosmont has initiated stakeholder outreach and held preliminary meetings with local dealership representatives.
These conversations are helping identify key pain points such as infrastructure challenges, limited cross-promotional marketing, and visibility constraints along Highway 111. Kosmont’s findings will inform a strategic action plan to reinforce Cathedral City’s position as a regional automotive hub and ensure continued revenue stability from this vital sector.
In tandem with this industry-level assessment, Cathedral City is also realigning how it supports local entrepreneurs and small businesses. As of June 30, 2025, the City will conclude its contract with the Greater Coachella Valley Chamber of Commerce. Moving forward, the City will redirect those resources into two new partnerships—one with the Coachella Valley Women’s Business Center (CVWBC) and another with the Riverside County Office of Economic Development, which oversees the Coachella Valley Small Business Development Center (SBDC). Both organizations bring regional expertise and structured programming to support local business growth, and both have a track record of delivering results that can be tracked and evaluated.
Through CVWBC, Cathedral City will host in-person, one-on-one business counseling for local entrepreneurs on a weekly basis. These sessions will be conducted by rotating consultants from the University Enterprises Corporation at CSU San Bernardino and will cover topics such as business planning, financial strategy, marketing, and operations. The City will provide a dedicated location for these services along with basic internet and logistical support. The program is funded at $10,000 annually and includes quarterly performance reporting that will capture metrics such as jobs created, clients served, and increases in business sales.
The partnership with the SBDC will complement CVWBC’s services by offering multi-week accelerator programs and workshops targeted to specific business types. These include support for food entrepreneurs, product-based startups, e-commerce enablement, and emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence. The SBDC’s programs are offered on a rotating quarterly basis and are supplemented by one-on-one consulting, free resources, and technical assistance. These programs provide Cathedral City business owners with tools to formalize, grow, and sustain their operations while improving their access to regional and state-level support systems.
To further promote transparency and increase public engagement around development activity, the City has also launched a new Development Dashboard, an interactive GIS based platform that highlights current projects throughout Cathedral City. This map-based tool allows residents, business owners, developers, and commissioners to view real-time updates on planning, permitting, and construction activity across commercial, residential, and public infrastructure sectors. The dashboard improves access to key data, supports better-informed decision-making, and reinforces the City’s commitment to open communication. Active projects include new housing developments, restaurant openings, public safety facility improvements, and large-scale commercial proposals currently under review or in progress.
Together, these initiatives represent a broader evolution in Cathedral City’s economic development strategy, moving from passive outreach to proactive engagement, from general promotion to industry-specific planning, and from limited visibility to full transparency. These efforts position the City to remain competitive in a rapidly changing regional economy and to better serve the businesses and residents who contribute to its long-term vitality.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The two professional services agreements will be paid from the existing budget in the Professional Services account for Economic Development: 100-100-150-151-8600-8601.
FIVE-YEAR STRATEGIC PLAN:
Goal F – EMBRACING, INCLUSIVE COMMUNITY
Objective: Cathedral City is valued and respected as a community that welcomes and embraces diversity, has an abundance of high quality and affordable housing options and vibrant businesses. Our neighborhoods are attractive, well-maintained, and issues surrounding homelessness have been compassionately addressed.

Item No. 2.C
Meeting Date: June 25, 2025
From: Andrew Firestine, AICP, Director of Community and Economic Development
Title: Review of Historic Preservation Committee
RECOMMENDATION:
City staff recommends City Council review and discuss the intent and purpose of the Historic Preservation Committee (HPC) and provide direction to City staff and the HPC.
BACKGROUND:
The Historic Preservation Committee was formed by City Council through the adoption of Ordinance No. 821 in 2019, provided for reference as Attachment 1. This ordinance added Chapter 2.31 to the Cathedral City Municipal Code, which formed the HPC as a five-member committee with those functions, powers, and duties described in Section 2.31.060 of the Cathedral City Municipal Code. Those duties include the review of “projects for compliance with applicable provisions of the Code related to the preservation of historic resources and shall make recommendations to the City Council and Planning Commission, as appropriate, related to the approval of projects involving historic resources and the adoption of regulations aimed at preserving historic resources.”
Following the adoption of Ordinance No. 821, the HPC conducted five meetings in 2020, 2021, and 2022, leading to the development of the historic preservation ordinance adopted by City Council on November 30, 2022. The HPC met four times in 2023 to develop a historic preservation application and three additional times to review and consider an application for the historic designation of the Agnes Pelton home and studio, which was recommended to City Council for designation as a Class 1 historic site on October 27, 2023.
Following their October 2023 meeting, the HPC meetings in November and December 2023 and January 2024 were cancelled. After the February 2024 meeting was cancelled and in response to a question from an HPC member on the cancellations, City staff informed the HPC it would be cancelling future meetings as well due to an absence of applications for the designation of property as a historic resource and that future meetings would be scheduled upon such time the City were to receive a new application. HPC members responded and requested to meet to discuss the ordinance and application form. 9 6
7 The HPC met again in April, May, June, and July 2024 to review and discuss the ordinance and application form. In response to the continued discussion, the original application form was divided into two forms, one for the historic designation of a property and a certificate of appropriateness and another for the removal or downgrade of a historic designation. Minor changes were recommended to the application forms in the July 2024 meeting, which were incorporated into the forms by City staff. The July 2024 meeting also introduced the Mills Act tax abatement program and presented information on the establishment of historic districts.
Due to a lack of members and the inability to establish a quorum, the HPC did not meet again until February 18, 2025. In the February 2025 meeting, the HPC conducted a recap of their 2024 meetings, including the revisions to the application forms together with a review of the historic preservation ordinance, and the Mills Act tax abatement program. At this meeting, the concept of an annual work plan was introduced by City staff as a means of identifying and prioritizing the work of the HPC and a work plan framework was provided to the HPC.
The March and April 2025 HPC meetings were cancelled due to a lack of a quorum.
A draft work plan was provided to the HPC for their May 20, 2025, meeting based on input received by City staff from HPC members. This work plan is attached for reference as Attachment 2. The HPC adopted the work plan at their May 2025 meeting, although discussion by the HPC following its adoption indicated a divided opinion on whether the work plan is consistent with the intent and purpose of the HPC. One opinion advocated that the role of the HPC is to process applications for historic designation and its efforts should continue to focus on this function and continued revisions to the application form. Others articulated a need for a broader role for the HPC to generate interest and awareness in historic preservation.
DISCUSSION:
With respect to the divided opinion of the HPC, staff recommends this be reconciled through direction from the City Council. New members were appointed to the HPC by City Council on April 23, 2025 and May 28, 2025. Direction from the City Council will help guide the HPC and its members and ensure its activities are consistent with the intent and purpose intended by City Council. Additionally, it will help ensure City resources are allocated appropriately.
In the opinion of City staff, there are two possible roles for the HPC:
1. The HPC exists to make recommendations on applications for historic designation only; or
2. The HPC exists to make recommendations on applications for historic designation and those activities that work to promote and raise awareness of historic preservation and the City’s history.
With respect to the first option, the HPC has supported the development of a historic preservation ordinance between 2020 and 2022 and has conducted eight meetings in 2023 and 2024 to review the application form, leading to the development of the two current application forms in July 2024. With the complete implementation and deployment of Energov and the Citizen Self Service (CSS) portal later in 2024, all applications for historic preservation are processed through Energov, making the prior application forms obsolete.
The forms in CSS follow what was developed by the HPC and the historic preservation 9 6
7 ordinance. If this is the purpose of the HPC, the committee should revert to an ad hoc meeting schedule and not take on additional responsibilities through their annual work plan.
On the second option, while it is not expressed in the language of Chapter 2.31, the intent statements in Ordinance No. 821 express the desire to: 1) encourage public knowledge, understanding, and appreciation of the City’s past; 2) strengthen the economy of the City by protecting and enhancing the City’s attractions to residents, tourists, and visitors; and 3) promote the private and public use of historical areas and sites for the education, prosperity, and general welfare of the people. Section 8.62.010 of the Cathedral City Municipal Code, a section of code articulating the purpose and intent of the historic preservation regulations, states:
This chapter is adopted for the purpose of recognizing historical events and people, preserving areas and specific buildings of the city which reflect elements of its cultural, social, economic, political, architectural and archaeological history.
This chapter is intended to stabilize and improve buildings, structures or areas which are considered to be of historical, architectural, archaeological or ecological value, to foster civic beauty, to strengthen the local economy and to promote the use of specific buildings and sites for the education and welfare of the citizens.
Section 8.62.010 of the Cathedral City Municipal Code and the intent statements in Ordinance No. 821 support the processing of historic preservation applications for historic designation together with those activities that work to promote and raise awareness of historic preservation and the City’s history.
If the Council supports the HPC making recommendations on applications for historic designation and performing work in support of the promotion and awareness of historic preservation, then the HPC should continue to meet on a regular basis to make progress on its work plan while also hearing any new applications for historic preservation that are submitted to the City.

Staff Report
City Council
Item No. 4.D
Meeting Date: June 25, 2025
From: Eugenia Torres, Human Resources Manager
Title: Amendment to the Personnel Rules
RECOMMENDATION:
To adopt the amended Personnel Rules as presented and authorize the City Manager to implement the updated Personnel Rules and make minor administrative adjustments as needed.
BACKGROUND:
Cathedral City Municipal Code Chapter 2.40 establishes an equitable and uniform system for personnel matters and ensures compliance with applicable laws. The City Manager is responsible for administering the city personnel system, including preparing and recommending personnel rules and amendments to the City Council as necessary (Municipal Code Chapter 2.40.030).
Key historical points:
•July 1, 1987: Initial Personnel Rules established
•September 2022: Personnel Rules updated to create a unified document clarifying procedures and providing guidance for personnel administration. •October 2024: Personnel Rules updated to create a unified document clarifying procedures and providing guidance for personnel administration. •Present: Ongoing review and improvement of Personnel Rules DISCUSSION:
The 2025 amendments to Cathedral City’s Personnel Rules reflect the city’s ongoing commitment to maintaining an effective, legally compliant, and modern personnel management system. The amendments build upon substantial progress made during the 2024 revision, which was a milestone in unifying and clarifying personnel policies. However, as personnel management practices evolve and new legal standards emerge, periodic updates are necessary to ensure the city’s policies remain relevant and effective.
To develop these amendments, city staff has collected feedback on the current Personnel Rules, consulted with legal counsel to ensure compliance with applicable laws, reviewed best practices from comparable municipalities, and drafted proposed amendments for review and discussion. Required meet and confer obligations on the amendments have been met.
The following are the key amendments in the 2025 update:
Key changes include:
1. Section 106.8 – Limited Term – Updated language to comply with CalPERS regulations.
2. Section 402.5 – Eligibility Lists – Extension for eligibility lists. The policy now allows the city manager to extend the eligibility list for an additional six months, creating a potential 18-month eligibility list (original 6 months + 6- month HR extension + 6-month City Manager extension).
3. Section 402.6.3 – Industrial Appointments (New)
4. Section 402.6.4 – Long-Term Illness Appointments (New) Updates per POA negotiations:
5. Section 810.5 – Bereavement Leave – Updated to reflect POA per negotiations
6. Section 1221 – Catastrophic (CAT) Leave Program – Updated to reflect POA per negotiations
Additionally, staff have incorporated the following Administrative Policies into the Personnel Rules for better organization and accessibility:
Note: The bargaining units have already approved these HR-AP policies; staff are simply including them in the Personnel Rules for better organization and accessibility.
7. Section 302.2.1 - Reclassification Policy and Procedures (HR-AP-22)
8. Section 402.7 - Promotions (HR-AP-23)
9. Section 402.8 - Series Advancement (HR-AP-24)
10. Section 1002.3.1 - Workers' Compensation Follow-up Appointment Responsibilities (HR-AP-21)
11. Section 1222 - Ethics and Gift Policy (HR-AP-25)

The City of Cathedral City is committed to preventing discrimination, harassment, and retaliation in the workplace.
Personnel Rules | Council Approved June 25, 2025 Page 12 The City of Cathedral City will not tolerate any conduct that violates this Policy. Conduct need not violate either federal or state law in order to constitute a violation of this Policy.
A single act by a City of Cathedral City employee may constitute a violation of this policy and provide sufficient grounds for the City of Cathedral City to discipline the employee.
This Policy establishes a complaint procedure by which the City of Cathedral City will investigate and resolve complaints of discrimination, harassment, and retaliation by and against City of Cathedral City covered individuals. The City of Cathedral City encourages all covered individuals to report any conduct they believe violates this Policy as soon as possible.
The City of Cathedral City expressly prohibits any retaliation against an employee because they filed or supported a complaint or because they participated in the investigation or complaint resolution process. Individuals found to have retaliated against an employee in violation of this Policy will be subject to appropriate sanction or disciplinary action, up to and including termination.
204.1.1 Covered Individuals and Scope of Policy
This policy covers the following individuals: applicants for employment at the City of Cathedral City; City of Cathedral City employees, regardless of rank or title; elected or appointed officials of the City of Cathedral CIty; interns; volunteers; and contractors.
This Policy applies to all terms and conditions of employment, internships, and volunteer opportunities, including, but not limited to, selection, hiring, placement, promotion, disciplinary action, layoff, recall, transfer, leave of absence, compensation, and training. 204.2 Definitions
204.2.1 Definitions - Protected Classification
This Policy prohibits harassment, discrimination or retaliation because of an individual’s protected classification.
“Protected Classification” includes race, religious creed, color, national origin, ancestry, physical disability, mental disability, medical condition, genetic information, marital status, sex, gender, gender identity, gender expression, age (40 and over), sexual orientation, or military and veteran status, or any other basis protected by law.
This Policy prohibits discrimination, harassment or retaliation for the following reasons: (1) an individual’s protected classification; (2) the perception that an individual has a protected classification; or (3) the Personnel Rules | Council Approved June 25, 2025 Page 13 individual associates with a person who has or is perceived to have a protected classification.
204.2.2 Definitions - Protected Activity
This Policy prohibits discrimination, harassment, or retaliation because of an individual’s protected activity.
Protected activity includes, but is not limited to, the following activity: (1) making a request for an accommodation for a disability; (2) making a request for accommodation for religious beliefs; (3) making a complaint under this Policy; (4) opposing violations of this Policy; (5) participating in an investigation under this Policy; or (6) participating in any other activity protected by federal, state, or local law.
204.2.3 Definitions – Discrimination
This Policy prohibits treating a covered individual differently and adversely because of the individual’s actual or perceived protected classification; ,because the individual associates with a person who is perceived to be a member of a protected classification; or because the individual participates in a protected activity as defined in this Policy. 204.2.4 Definitions – Harassment
This policy prohibits harassment. Harassment includes, but is not limited to, the following conduct:
a) Derogatory, offensive or inappropriate speech, such as epithets, slurs or stereotypical comments, or verbal propositions made on the basis of the individual’s protected classification. This includes, but is not limited to, comments, stories, and jokes about appearance, dress, physical features, gender
identification, and race.
b) Physical acts, such as assault, impeding or blocking movement, offensive touching, or physical interference with normal work or movement. This includes pinching, grabbing, patting, or making explicit or implied job threats or promises in return for submission to physical acts.
c) Visual acts, such as derogatory, offensive or inappropriate, posters, cartoons, emails, pictures or drawings related to a protected classification.
d) Unwanted sexual advances, requests for sexual favors and other acts of a sexual nature, where submission is made a term or condition of employment, where submission to or rejection of the conduct is used as the basis for employment decisions, or where the conduct is intended to or actually does unreasonably interfere with an individual’s work performance or create an intimidating, hostile, or offensive working environment.
Personnel Rules | Council Approved June 25, 2025 Page 14 204.2.4.1 Other Examples of Conduct That Might Constitute Harassment Harassment includes conduct that an individual who is a member of a protected classification would find unwelcome or unwanted.
Harassment may include the following:
1. Conduct that is not intended as to harass. Conduct
may violate this policy if the conduct is directed at,
or implicates a protected classification and the
recipient finds the conduct to be offensive or
inappropriate, even if its well-intentioned conduct
(g., gifts, over-attention, endearing nicknames,
hugs).
2. Conduct to which the recipient appears to have
consented. A failure to protest conduct does not
mean that harassment has not occurred. A recipient
may not protest offensive or inappropriate conduct
for many legitimate reasons, including, but not
limited to, the need to avoid being perceived as
insubordinate or to avoid being ostracized or
subjected to retaliation.
3. Conduct about which no employees previously
complained. The fact that no employee previously
complained about the same or substantially similar
conduct does not mean that the conduct is
inoffensive or appropriate nor does that fact
preclude an employee from complaining about such
conduct if it is repeated.
4. Conduct witnessed by a third party or about which a
third party learns, even if they did not witness such
conduct. Visual, verbal, or physical conduct between
two (2) people who do not find such conduct to be
offensive or inappropriate may constitute
harassment of a third party witnesses such conduct
or learns about the conduct later and finds the
conduct to be offensive or inappropriate. Conduct
can constitute harassment even if it is not explicitly
or specifically directed at a particular individual.
204.2.5 Definitions - Retaliation
Retaliation occurs when an employer takes adverse conduct against a covered individual because of the individual’s protected activity as defined in this Policy. “Adverse conduct” may include but is not limited to: (1) disciplinary action; (2) counseling; (3) taking sides because an individual has reported harassment or discrimination; (4) spreading rumors about a complainant or about someone who supports or assists the complainant; (5) shunning or avoiding an individual who reports Personnel Rules | Council Approved June 25, 2025 Page 15 harassment or discrimination; or (6) making real or implied threats of intimidation to prevent or deter an individual from reporting harassment or discrimination.
204.3 Complaint Procedure
A covered individual who believes they have been subjected to discrimination, harassment or retaliation may make a complaint – orally or in writing – to any supervisor, manager, their Department Head or Deputy Director or to the Human Resources Manager, without regard to any chain of command. Any supervisory or management employee who receives a harassment complaint should immediately notify the Human Resources Manager.

If an edit to a time clock in/out entry is necessary, a supervisory comment with a specific detailed reason must be assigned to the time clock entry change.
7. Any changes to an employee’s timecard entry must have a supervisory comment added justifying or explaining why this edit occurred.
8. Employees in an on-call status who are called into work will report directly to the work location, as necessary, and report time worked directly to the supervisor as soon as practical if the work location is without an accessible timekeeping unit.
9. Non-Exempt employees are permitted to work overtime only with prior authorization from their supervisor. Overtime includes clocking in early, late, or working through the scheduled lunch period. Non-Exempt employees who work overtime without
prior authorization may be subject to disciplinary action.
10. Non-Exempt employees may not use another Non-Exempt employee’s ID to clock in/out for the other Non-Exempt
employee. Failure to follow this directive may result in disciplinary action.
11. Supervisors are required to document and report incidents where employees have violated the timekeeping policy and/or procedures. This could include situations where employees may have clocked in but are absent from their workstation during work hours or have missed timekeeping entries and/or work unscheduled and unauthorized overtime.
Any attempt to falsify a time record is strictly prohibited. Any instruction by a manager or supervisor to an employee to falsify a time record is also strictly prohibited. Falsifying a time record may include, but is not limited to, incorrectly or falsely under reporting or over reporting time worked, and altering another employee’s time record to inaccurately or falsely report an employee’s hours worked.
If an employee becomes aware of a falsified time record or an attempt to falsify a time record, the employee should immediately report and notify this to their supervisor, a member of management, or the Office of Human Resources.
Personnel Rules | Council Approved June 25, 2025 Page 49 Employees who consistently miss time reporting will be subject to disciplinary action.
604.3.1 Professional Work Week:
Exempt employees are generally expected to work a “professional work week,” which, for full-time employment, equates to forty hours a week, but can often mean more hours. Exempt employees are expected to work as many hours required to meet their job responsibilities, including evenings, weekends, and extended travel, if necessary. Under the FLSA, exempt employees are not eligible for paid overtime or compensatory time. It is, however, generally expected exempt employees will communicate, in advance, with their supervisor about scheduled absences during their typical working hours to ensure that absences do not interfere with their job responsibilities and impact the work of the office and their teammates.
604.3.2 Partial Day Absences:
Exempt employees can be expected to use leave accruals for partial day absences. Partial day absences are intended to acknowledge the hard work and long hours worked by employee, while accommodating the associated challenge of taking care of personal business, when necessary.
This does not mean, however, that partial day absences may be used on a regular basis as a form of compensatory leave, or to change the agreed upon work schedule. If a supervisor believes partial day absences are being used inappropriately, the supervisor should clarify expectations.
Unlike absences covered by accrued leave, the expectation is an employee will complete their duties within the normal timelines, when they utilize partial day absences.
604.3.3 Exempt Employee Responsibility:
Follow your department/unit request for leave procedures, requiring Supervisor approval for using leave time. Leave time shall be reported in half-day (normally 4 hours for 5/8 schedule: 5 hours for 4/10 schedule: 3 hours for 6-hour shifts) increments when working less than half-day. No leave shall be recorded when working more than half-day.
Where an exempt employee has exhausted all available accrued vacation and float leaves, the employee’s salary may be reduced for full-day absences due to personal reasons. Employees shall report leave taken under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and California Family Rights Act (CFRA) by completing the required FMLA/CFRA forms.
Personnel Rules | Council Approved June 25, 2025 Page 50 604.4 No Volunteering of Work Time
All time spent for the benefit of the City of Cathedral City must be reported as hours worked on time records so that the employee is paid for all work. Overtime-eligible employees may not “volunteer” work time to perform duties that are the same or similar as their stated or regular job duties. Employees have no authorization to work without compensation. No supervisor has authority to request overtime-eligible employees to volunteer work time.

d) Qualifying Exigency: The first time an employee requests FMLA leave because of a qualifying exigency, an employee may require the employee to provide a copy of the military member’s active duty orders or other documentation issued by the military which indicates that the military member is on covered active duty or call to active duty status in a foreign country, and the dates of the military member’s active duty service. A copy of the new active duty orders or similar documentation shall be provided to the City of Cathedral City if the need for leave because of a qualifying exigency arises out of a different active duty or call to active duty status of the same or a different military member. The City of Cathedral City will verify the certification as permitted by the FMLA regulations.
Personnel Rules | Council Approved June 25, 2025 Page 63 806.8 Time to Provide a Medical Certification
When an employee has provided at least 30 days’ notice for a foreseeable leave, the employee must provide a medical certification before the leave begins. When this is not possible, the employee must provide the medical certification to the City of Cathedral City within the time frame requested by the City of Cathedral City (which must allow at least 15 calendar days after the employer’s request), unless it is not practicable under the particular circumstances to do so despite the employee’s diligent, good faith efforts. 806.9 Consequences for Failure to Provide an Adequate or Timely Certification If an employee provides an incomplete medical certification, the employee will be given a reasonable opportunity to cure any such deficiency. However, if an employee fails to provide a medical certification within the time frame established in this Policy, the City of Cathedral City may delay the taking of FMLA/CFRA leave until required certification is provided, or deny FMLA/CFRA protections following the expiration of the time period to provide an adequate certification.
806.10 Review of the Contents of Medical Certification for Employee’s Own Serious Health Condition
a) Complete and Sufficient: The employee must provide a certification for their own serious health condition that is complete and sufficient to support the request for leave. A certification is incomplete if one or more of the applicable entries on the certification form have not been completed. A certification is insufficient if the information on the certification form is vague, ambiguous, or not responsive. If the certification is incomplete or insufficient, the Human Resources Manager will give the employee written notice of the deficiencies and seven days to cure, unless a longer period is necessary in light of the employee’s diligent, good faith efforts to address the deficiencies. b) Authentication and Clarification: After giving the employee an opportunity to cure the deficiencies in a medical certification for the employee’s own serious health condition, the Human Resources Manager may contact the health care provider who provided the certification to clarify and/or authenticate the certification. “Authentication” means providing the health care provider with a copy of the certification form and requesting verification that the information on the form was completed or authorized by the health care provider who signed the form. “Clarification” means contacting the health care provider to understand the handwriting on the medical certification or to understand the meaning of the response. The Human Resources Manager may not ask for additional information beyond that required on the certification form.
Personnel Rules | Council Approved June 25, 2025 Page 64 806.11 Second and Third Medical Opinions For Employee’s Own Serious Health Condition If the City of Cathedral City has a good faith, objective reason to doubt the validity of a certification for the employee’s serious health condition, the City of Cathedral City may require a medical opinion of a second health care provider chosen and paid for by the City of Cathedral City. If the second opinion is different from the first, the City of Cathedral City may require the opinion of a third provider jointly approved by the City of Cathedral City and the employee, but paid for by the City of Cathedral City. The opinion of the third provider will be binding. The City of Cathedral City must provide the employee with a copy of the second and third medical opinions, where applicable, without cost, upon the request of the employee.
806.12 Intermittent Leave or Leave on a Reduced Leave Schedule If employee requests leave intermittently (a few days or hours at a time) or on a reduced leave schedule for their own serious health condition, or to care for an immediate family member with serious health condition, the employee must provide medical certification that such leave is medically necessary. “Medically necessary” means there must be a medical need for the leave and that the leave can best be accomplished through an intermittent or reduced leave schedule. The City of Cathedral City may require an employee who certifies the need for a reduced schedule or intermittent leave to temporarily transfer to an alternate position of equivalent pay and benefits that better accommodates the leave schedule.
806.13 Employee Notice of Leave
Although the City of Cathedral City recognizes that emergencies arise which may require employees to request immediate leave, employees are required to give as much verbal or written notice as possible of their need for leave. If leave is foreseeable, at least 30 days’ notice is required. In addition, if an employee knows that they will need leave in the future, but does not know the exact day(s) (e.g. for the birth of a child or to take care of a newborn), the employee shall inform their supervisor as soon as possible that such leave will be needed. For foreseeable leave due to a qualifying exigency, an employee must provide verbal or written notice of the need for leave as soon as practicable, regardless of how far in advance such leave is foreseeable.
806.14 Reinstatement Upon Return from Leave
a) Reinstatement to Same or Equivalent Position: Upon expiration of leave, an employee is entitled to be reinstated to the position of employment held when the leave commenced, or to an equivalent position with equivalent benefits and pay. Employees have no greater rights to reinstatement, benefits, and other conditions of employment than if the employee had been continuously employed during the FMLA/CFRA period.
b) Date of Reinstatement: If a definite date of reinstatement has been agreed upon at the beginning of the leave, the employee will be reinstated on the date agreed upon. If the reinstatement date differs Personnel Rules | Council Approved June 25, 2025 Page 65 from the original agreement of the employee and the City of Cathedral City, the employee will be reinstated within two business days, where feasible, after the employee notifies the employer of their readiness to return.
c) Employee’s Obligation to Periodically Report on their Condition: Employees may be required to periodically report on their status and intent to return to work. This will avoid any delays to reinstatement when the employee is ready to return. (29 CFR § 825.311.)
d) Fitness for Duty Certification: As a condition of reinstatement of an employee whose leave was due to the employee’s own serious health condition, which made the employee unable to perform their job, the employee must obtain and present a fitness-for-duty certification from the health care provider stating that the employee is able to resume work. Failure to provide such certification will result in denial of reinstatement. (Gov. Code § 12945.2(k)(4); 29 CFR § 825.312.) e) Reinstatement of “Key Employees”: The City of Cathedral City may deny reinstatement to a “key” employee (i.e., an employee who is among the highest paid 10 percent of all employed by the City of Cathedral City within 75 miles of the worksite) if such denial is necessary to prevent substantial and grievous economic injury to the operations of the City of Cathedral City, and the employee is notified of the City of Cathedral City’s intent to deny reinstatement on such basis at the time the employer determines that such injury would occur.
806.15 Required Forms
Employees must complete the applicable forms to receive family and medical care leave.
The forms may be found at MUNIS Self Services under the Resources Menu. 808 LEAVE BECAUSE OF PREGNANCY, CHILDBIRTH, OR RELATED MEDICAL CONDITION 808.1 Amount of Leave
An employee who is disabled because of pregnancy, childbirth, or a related medical condition is entitled to an unpaid leave for up to the number of hours she would normally work within four calendar months (one-third of a year or 17 1/3 weeks). 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. 808.2 Notice & Certification Requirements
a. Notice: Requests for pregnancy disability leave must be submitted in writing with reasonable advance notice of the medical need for the leave. All leaves must be confirmed in writing, have an agreed-upon specific date of return, and be submitted to the Human Resources Manager.

Certification: The request for pregnancy disability leave must be supported by a written certification from the attending physician stating that: (1) the employee is disabled from working by pregnancy, childbirth or a related medical condition; 2) the date on which the employee became disabled by pregnancy, childbirth or a related medical condition; and 3) the estimated duration or end date of the leave.

808.4 Benefits during Leave
a. Group Health Insurance: An employee on pregnancy disability leave may continue to receive any group health insurance coverage that was provided before her leave, beginning on the date the pregnancy disability leave begins and continuing for up to four months in a 12- month period, at the same level and under the same conditions that coverage would have been provided if the employee had continued in employment continuously for the duration of the leave. The City of Cathedral City may recover premiums it paid to maintain health coverage if an employee does not return to work following pregnancy disability leave, unless the reason for the failure to return is a circumstance beyond her control or the use of the separate right to 12 weeks of bonding leave under the FMLA.
b. Employee Status during Leave: The employee retains employee status during the leave. The leave is not a break in service for purposes of longevity or seniority under any collective bargaining agreement or employee benefit plan. Benefits will be resumed upon the employee’s reinstatement in the same manner and at the same levels as provided when the leave began, without any new qualification period, physical exam, or other qualifying provisions.
808.5 Reinstatement
a. Upon the expiration of pregnancy leave, the employee will be reinstated to her original or a comparable position, so long as it was not eliminated for a legitimate business reason during the leave.
b. If the employee’s original position is no longer available, the employee will be assigned to a comparable, open position.
c. If upon return from leave an employee is unable to perform the essential functions of her job because of a physical or mental disability, the City of Cathedral City will initiate an interactive process with the employee in order to identify a potential reasonable accommodation in accordance with these Policies.

The selection of employees for random drug and alcohol testing will be made by a scientifically valid method, such as a random number table or a computer-based random number generator. Under the selection process used, each covered employee will have an equal chance of being tested each time selections are made.
A covered employee will only be randomly tested for alcohol misuse while the employee is performing safety-sensitive functions, just before the employee is to perform safety-sensitive functions, or just after the employee has ceased performing such functions. A covered employee may be randomly tested for prohibited drug use anytime while on duty.

1209.11 Rehabilitation
The City encourages employees to use City-sponsored employee assistance programs voluntarily to assist them in resolving any alcohol, drug, or controlled substance abuse problems. Employees should contact their supervisor, Department head, or Human Resources Manager for additional information, including further information concerning the dangerous effects of alcohol misuse and drug use on an employee’s health, work, and personal life.

1218 ELECTRONIC SIGNATURE USE
The City of Cathedral City Electronic Signature Use Policy shall be used to increase productivity and ensure convenient, timely and appropriate access to information by using electronic signature technology to collect and preserve signatures on documents quickly, securely, and efficiently.
Personnel Rules | Council Approved June 25, 2025 Page 119 This Policy establishes when electronic signature technology may replace a hand-written signature, with the goal of encouraging the use of paperless, electronic documents whenever appropriate and allowed by law. This Policy authorizes the City to accept an approved electronic signature, in lieu of a written signature, on a document in which a signature is required or used, which complies with the requirements of California Government Code Section 16.5 and this Policy.
While the use of electronic signatures is suggested and encouraged, this Policy does not require any Department to use electronic signatures; nor can the City mandate that any third party signing a document use electronic signature.
This Policy applies to documents requiring a signature of any person where the signature is intended to show authorship, approval, authorization, or certification, as allowed by law. It is the Policy of the City to encourage the use of electronic signatures in all internal and external activities, documents, and transactions where it is operationally feasible to do so, where existing technology permits, and where it is otherwise appropriate based on the Department's preferences. In such situations, affixing an electronic signature to the document in a manner consistent with this Policy shall satisfy the City's requirements for signing a document. As used in this Policy, the term "signature" includes using initials on a document instead of a signature.
Each Department Director has discretion to decide whether to permit the use of electronic signatures. Departments should work with the City Attorney to determine whether applicable laws permit an electronic signature to be used. In addition, each Agency/Department that opts to use electronic signatures must adopt/amend their business practices to support the requirements of this Policy.
INTRODUCTION:
In 1995, the California Legislature passed Government Code Section 16.5, authorizing public entities to accept digital signatures if they comply with stringent verification requirements.
In 1999, California adopted a version of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act ("UETA")(California Civil Code Sections 1633.1 to 1633.17), providing that electronic signatures would have the same legal effect as a wet or manual signature.
Not every state enacted UETA and, therefore, in 2000, the Federal Government enacted the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (ESIGN). ESIGN mandated the same treatment of electronic signatures in interstate or foreign commerce. (15 USC§§ 7001 et seq.) The City of Cathedral City (the "City") seeks to implement guidelines for the use and acceptance of electronic signatures as well as for the authentication, maintenance, and preservation of electronically signed records, electronic records, and other electronic information submitted to and accepted by the City. Use of electronic signatures will move the City another step closer to instantaneous communication with the public by further improving the manner and speed with which the City communicates and conducts business.
Personnel Rules | Council Approved June 25, 2025 Page 120 While the use of electronic information will continue to evolve, the City has identified acceptable forms of secure electronic signatures and electronically signed records and has developed this Electronic Signature Use Policy (this "Policy") to encourage their use and acceptance.
Policy:
D. Policy Statement. This Policy authorizes the use of electronic signatures on City documents while allowing the City to strike a balance between the flexibility desired in transactions and the need for signature security and integrity. Specifically, this Policy establishes that electronic signatures shall be valid and effective on City records and documents so long as certain guidelines regarding the security and integrity of electronic signatures are met; authorizes the City Manager (or designee) to determine the particular technologies or vendors that presumptively satisfy the guidelines; and authorizes the City Manager to determine the level of security required for various types of electronic records or documents. Staff should consult with the City Attorney to determine whether applicable laws permit an electronic signature to be used before proceeding if not addressed in the list of documents set forth below. This Policy is designed to supplement the City's current records management and retention policies.
E. Definitions.
1. An “electronic record” is defined by California’s Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (“UETA”) (Cal. Civil Code § 1633.1 et seq.) as “a record created, generated, sent, communicated, received, or stored by electronic means.” An electronic record generally contains information or a data file that was created and stored in digitized form through the use of computers, machines, and software applications. The format of an electronic record does not change the fact that it is a record subject to applicable public records laws, but its electronic form and its dependence on machines for creation and reference do change the way these records must be stored and managed.
2. An "electronic signature" is fundamentally a legal concept as defined by both the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act and the UETA, an electronic signature is “an electronic sound, symbol, or process, attached to or logically associated with a contract or other record and executed or adopted by a person with the intent to sign the record.” It is the electronic equivalent of a handwritten, wet, or manual signature on paper, and therefore must have certain characteristics for evidentiary purposes.
3. An “electronically signed record” is a record, file, or document that has been electronically signed by means of an electronic signature and that is related to the conduct of the City’s official Personnel Rules | Council Approved June 25, 2025 Page 121 business.

3. Use Optional. Pursuant to California law, the use of electronic signatures by individuals or entities that wish to conduct business with the City remains optional. This Policy neither limits the right or option to conduct the transaction on paper or in non- electronic form, nor the right to have documents provided or made available on paper.
4. Consent Required. All parties that wish to use electronic signatures shall agree to follow this Policy, shall provide written or electronic consent as to the use of electronic signatures, and shall agree to indemnify the City against any liability associated with transmitting an electronic signature or an electronically signed record by electronic transmission. Consents may be kept on file with the City prior to the sending party transmitting any records or signatures electronically or may be included in the electronic document as evidence that the signer has accepted this Policy.
5. Characteristics of a Valid Electronic Signature. The use of an electronic signature shall be valid and shall have the same force and effect as the use of a handwritten, wet, or manual signature if:
a. The signature is capable of verification (through
the electronic document's metadata);
b. The signature is under the sole control of the
person using it; and
c. The signature is linked to the data contained in
the electronically signed record in such a manner

requirement is met when the item has
associated with it an electronic signature
meeting the requirements of this Policy.
b. Where California or federal law requires that any
electronic document, photo, record, or other
related item have the signature of a responsible
person, that requirement is met when the item
has associated with it an electronic signature

recommendation of the General Counsel shall determine
acceptable electronic signature technologies and vendors under this Policy, and consistent with industry best practices, to ensure that security and integrity of electronic records, electronic data, and electronic signatures. The City Manager, with
recommendation of the City Attorney and Director of
Information Technology, shall further determine the records or documents for which the City will accept electronic signatures.
8.Penalty of Perjury. This Policy shall comport with California Civil Code section 1633.11(b) which states, “In a transaction, if a law requires that a statement be signed under penalty of perjury, the requirement is satisfied with respect to an electronic signature, if an electronic record includes, in addition to the electronic signature, all of the information as to which the declaration pertains together with a declaration under penalty of perjury by the person who submits the electronic signature that the information is true and correct."
9.Further Acts. Nothing in this Policy shall prevent the City from adopting additional guidelines or taking further actions to implement this Policy or to add other permissible forms of electronic signatures to this Policy.
10.Revocation of Technology. In the event that is determined that an approved electronic signature method or technology is no longer trustworthy or secure, the City Manager shall revoke the approval of such electronic signature method. If there is continued significance for electronic signatures that employed the revoked method, the City Manager will take steps to ensure that any valid records signed with the revoked method are signed again either Personnel Rules | Council Approved June 25, 2025 Page 123 with a handwritten, wet signature or with an approved electronic signature method.

City Council
Item No. 4.E
Meeting Date: June 25, 2025
From: Eugenia Torres, Human Resources Manager
Title: CCPOA CalPERS Compliance
RECOMMENDATION:
To authorize the City Manager to execute a side letter with the Cathedral City Police Officers Association (CCPOA) to update MOU language to ensure compliance with CalPERS reporting requirements for special compensation.
BACKGROUND:
Special compensation items must be included in Memoranda of Understanding and must meet the definitions outlined in CCR section 571 for classic members or CCR section 571.1 for new members in order to be reportable to CalPERS.
The California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) defines special compensation as compensation in addition to base pay that must meet specific criteria to be considered pensionable. These items include, but are not limited to, education incentives, certification pay, and specialty assignment compensation. For such compensation to be included in retirement benefit calculations, it must be included in retirement benefit calculations, it must be properly documented in labor agreements and meet all statutory and regulatory requirements.
Cathedral City has historically provided various special compensation items to its police personnel in recognition of specialized training, education, and certifications that enhance their ability to serve the community. These items have been included in the CCPOA Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). CalPERS periodically conducts compliance reviews to ensure that public agencies are correctly reporting compensation in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
DISCUSSION:
Following a recent CalPERS compliance review of education/certification stipends, it was determined that all MOU’s should be reviewed by CalPERS for compliance. During negotiations with the CCPOA, it was agreed the City would pursue a CalPERS compliance review and allow a reopener to update language as needed.
The side letter addresses several key compliance areas related to special compensation reporting:
1. Clarification of Base Pay definition
2. Assignment Differential
3. Temporary Upgrade Pay (TUP)
4. Bilingual Pay
5. Certification Pay
6. Longevity Pay
7. Uniform Allowance
8. Holidays
These clarifications ensure the City’s compliance with California Code of Regulations sections 571 and 571.1, which govern pensionable compensation reporting requirements for CalPERS.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact associated with this item. The recommended changes affect reporting language only and do not alter compensation amounts. However, proper CalPERS reporting ensures accurate retirement benefit calculations and helps prevent potential future CalPERS audit findings that could result in retroactive adjustments.
FIVE-YEAR STRATEGIC PLAN:
Goal A - SERVE THE COMMUNITY WITH PRIDE AND DEDICATION
Objective: Through diversity, equity, and inclusion driven employee programs and experiences, Cathedral City is the employer of choice with a workforce that is engaged, motivated, and respected public stewards

City Council
Item No. 4.F
Meeting Date: June 25, 2025
From: Eugenia Torres, Human Resources Manager
Title: Resolution Adopting an Updated City-Wide Salary Schedule RECOMMENDATION:
To adopt a resolution approving a city-wide publicly available pay schedule in compliance with California Code of Regulations, Title 2, Sections 570.5, 571, 571.1, and to acknowledge the charter-mandated salary adjustment for elected officials. This resolution will supersede all previous resolutions regarding job classifications and compensation levels to the extent they conflict with this new recommendation.
BACKGROUND:
The California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) requires all public agencies to establish and maintain publicly available pay schedules for all positions. This requirement is outlined in the California Code of Regulations (CCR), Title 2, Sections 570.5, and 571.1.
The City’s commitment to transparent and compliant compensation practices requires regular review and updates of our publicly available pay schedules. This resolution addresses multiple regulatory requirements and operational needs while ensuring continued organizational effectiveness.
Historical Context
Previous Resolution NO. 2025-03 (adopted March 12, 2025) approved a city-wide publicly available pay schedule. The present update consolidates all subsequent amendments and modifications into a comprehensive salary schedule packet.
When updating any portion of the salary schedule, the city adopts a complete, updated schedule that includes all bargaining units and employee groups. This ensures the most current and comprehensive salary information is publicly available, even for groups where no changes have occurred. Each exhibit in this resolution represents the most recent approved salary schedule for each respective bargaining unit, maintaining compliance with transparency requirements.
This resolution represents the culmination of these various analyses and considerations, providing a comprehensive update to ensure the City’s compensation structure remains competitive, compliant, and aligned with organizational objectives.
DISCUSSION:
The proposed resolution includes several strategic adjustments to the City’s pay schedules, reflecting our commitment to maintaining competitive compensation while ensuring operational excellence. These changes are based on market analysis, internal equity considerations, and operational requirements.

•Ambulance Operator/EMT positions: $17.50 per hour
•Ambulance Operator/Paramedic positions: $18.50 per hour •Adjustments to Deputy Police Chief and Deputy Fire Chief range from 970 to 975 •To reflect market conditions and to address compaction issues •Ensure appropriate compensation for this essential executive position EXHIBIT C – CCPOA (Effective March 2, 2025)
-No Changes to salary ranges
-Schedule included to maintain the complete current salary schedule packet EXHIBIT D – CCPMA (Effective July 7, 2024)
-Modification to management incentive pay stipend for commanders -During a recent review of the salary schedule, it was discovered that the management incentive pay contained outdated data that required revision to ensure accuracy and compliance with CalPERS regulations.
