Item No. 2.A
Meeting Date: March 25, 2026
From: John A. Corella, Director of Public Works
Title: Fiscal Year 2025-26 Capital Improvements Program Update and Maintenance of Effort (MOE) Programmed Projects Revision RECOMMENDATION:
Staff will present the bi-annual 5-Year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) update and present proposed schedule adjustments for five (5) programmed CIP projects to maintain compliance with the FY 2025–2026 Maintenance of Effort (MOE) funding requirement for discussion and direction.
BACKGROUND:
Cathedral City’s 5-Year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Plan is a strategic tool for prioritizing and budgeting infrastructure projects based on long-term community needs and available resources. The CIP is developed from the Pavement Management Program (PMP), which evaluates roadway conditions and provides data to guide cost effective maintenance priorities. This ensures street improvement funding is allocated using a clear, objective, and data-driven approach, helping the city make thoughtful decisions about infrastructure investments in a cost-effective manner.
In May 2023, the city completed a comprehensive PMP Implementation Report. This report served as a baseline for evaluating the condition of all 157 miles of city-maintained streets.
Each road segment was assigned a Pavement Condition Index (PCI) score, ranging from 0 (worst) to 100 (new or excellent condition), with the citywide average PCI recorded at 64, classified as “Fair.” This baseline has since guided project selection and funding prioritization in the current 5-Year CIP Plan.
The 5-Year CIP Plan was first presented to City Council on April 23, 2025, outlining planned projects for FY 2025-26 through FY 2029-30. On October 6, 2025, city staff presented an update to highlight recently completed CIP projects and an overview of upcoming projects.
Today, staff will provide the semi-annual update, building upon the information presented in October. Staff will also present recommendations to adjust the 5-Year CIP Plan by advancing certain projects currently planned for future fiscal years to begin in FY 2025-26.
These adjustments are proposed due to delays on three (3) currently programmed projects 1 and to ensure timely use of Maintenance of Effort (MOE) funds in accordance with annual expenditure requirements.
Maintenance of Effort (MOE) funds refer to the minimum level of local funding the city is required to spend annually on street and roadway purposes in order to remain eligible to receive certain state transportation funds, such as Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account – Senate Bill 1 (RMRA-SB-1) funds. State requirements ensure that local agencies maintain a consistent level of investment in roadway maintenance so that state funding supplements, rather than replaces, local funding commitments. The proposed schedule adjustments are intended to ensure the city continues to meet these annual expenditure requirements.
DISCUSSION:
FY 2025-26 Capital Improvement Projects
The 5-Year CIP identifies several roadway projects programmed for construction over FY 2025-26 and FY 2026-27. Project selection is based on multiple factors, including Pavement Condition Index (PCI) data from the city’s Pavement Management Program (PMP), the availability of grant and other funding sources, project location, and coordination with roadway improvements completed in previous years. These criteria help ensure the limited resources available are invested with an efficient and balanced approach to roadway maintenance and rehabilitation. Planned investments include:
FY 2025–26:
o$2.6 million for street reconstruction
o$0.8 million for pavement maintenance and repairs
o$6.4 million for traffic signal improvements
oTotal investment: $9.8 million
FY 2026–27:
o$2.7 million for street reconstruction
o$1.1 million for pavement maintenance and repairs
o$1.2 million for traffic signal improvements
oTotal investment: $5 million
A list of projects completed thus far in FY 2025–2026, projects currently in progress, and upcoming programmed projects is attached to this report (Attachment 1). These projects have resulted in the following improvements to the city’s roadway infrastructure:
Infrastructure Improvement Amount Improved
Miles of Roadway Improved 10.6 Miles
Miles of Bike Lanes Added/Improved 5.2 Miles
Pedestrian Crossings Added 2 Crossings
Traffic Signals Added/Improved 61 Traffic Signals
ADA Ramps Upgraded/Added 6 ADA Ramps
Proposed CIP Program Revisions
Three (3) projects programmed into the 5-Year CIP are currently experiencing delays, as explained below.
2 1. East Palm Canyon Drive Widening, Master Undergrounding Plan (MUP) and Traffic Signal at Cree Road (Construction Programmed FY 2025-26):
The project schedule has been delayed due to several factors, including the need for additional Southern California Edison (SCE) design and plan revisions to incorporate the new traffic signal at the intersection of East Palm Canyon Drive and Cree Road; the need to obtain an additional California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) encroachment permit on State Route 111 within the City of Palm Springs for the undergrounding of SCE facilities along the south side of East Palm Canyon Drive within Cathedral City; the right-of-way acquisition requirements and negotiations associated with the former Elk’s Lodge property; and additional revisions and approvals required by the Coachella Valley Association of Governments (CVAG) to ensure compliance with CV Sync corridor standards.
2. Ocotillo Square Neighborhood Streets (Design Programmed FY 2025-26 and FY 2026-27):
This project is currently programmed to start the design phase and has been strategically deferred to allow coordination with the city’s Septic-to-Sewer Strategic Planning Project currently in progress. The Ocotillo Square neighborhood currently lacks municipal sewer service, and the Septic-to-Sewer project is preparing plans, specifications, and cost estimates, as well as pursuing construction funding to install sewer infrastructure in the area. Coordinating these efforts will allow the city to utilize the engineering work currently being developed for the sewer project (base design), resulting in a more efficient design process for future roadway and sidewalk improvements.
3. Date Palm Drive North of I-10 Widening (Construction Programmed FY 2026-27 and FY 2027-28):
This project is in the design phase and has experienced delays due to unanticipated hydrology design considerations associated with the Willow Hole Outfall (also known as Long Canyon Wash) stormwater crossing near the intersection of Date Palm Drive and Varner Road. Recent hydrologic evaluations have identified potential changes to the design criteria that may affect the proposed project and downstream properties.
Additional technical analysis and coordination with regional agencies, including the Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District (RCFCWD), and the Coachella Valley Water District (CVWD), are required to determine the appropriate design criteria moving forward and to ensure compliance with applicable engineering standards and permitting requirements. City staff, with the assistance of specialized on-call consultants, and stakeholders with their consultants, are actively coordinating with the involved agencies to resolve these design considerations and advance the project design.
The three (3) projects described above are programmed in the 5-Year CIP utilizing Maintenance of Effort (MOE) General Fund resources. Due to the schedule delays associated with these projects, the city may not be able to expend the required MOE funding within the current fiscal year. The city has a commitment to expend approximately $1.5 million in MOE funds during FY 2025–2026 in order to remain compliant with state eligibility requirements associated with transportation funding programs, including the RMRA – SB 1. 3 As of March 2026, the city has spent or encumbered approximately $200,000 towards this MOE commitment.
To ensure the city continues to meet these annual expenditure requirements, staff are recommending adjustments to the 5-Year CIP program by advancing other eligible roadway improvement projects that can be delivered within the current fiscal year. These adjustments will allow the city to maintain compliance with MOE requirements while continuing to advance priority roadway improvements identified in the 5-Year CIP program.
Staff continually monitor project schedules, funding requirements, and delivery timelines within the Capital Improvement Program to ensure that available funding sources are used efficiently and in compliance with applicable requirements. Adjustments to the CIP schedule are periodically recommended as needed to address project coordination, regulatory requirements, and funding obligations while maintaining progress on priority infrastructure improvements throughout the city.
Staff will continue to work towards completion of the three (3) delayed projects as design and coordination efforts are completed. These three (3) projects will seamlessly shift into the upcoming CIP schedules.
Proposed Projects to be Advanced
To ensure the city meets the FY 2025–2026 MOE expenditure requirement, staff are recommending advancing two (2) roadway improvement projects currently programmed in FY 2026-2027 and FY 2027-2028 of the 5-Year CIP. These projects are eligible for MOE funding, are consistent with the priorities identified in the PMP, and need to be delivered within the current fiscal year. Advancing these projects allow the city to utilize the required MOE funding while continuing to address roadway maintenance needs throughout the city.
Staff recommend advancing the following projects
1. Cathedral Canyon Drive Street Rehabilitation Project.
This project was planned for construction in FY 2026-2027 utilizing MOE funds and includes pavement rehabilitation along Cathedral Canyon Drive from Perez Road to Paseo Azulejo (average PCI = 24).
2. Sunny Sands Neighborhood Pavement Rehabilitation.
This project was planned for construction in FY 2027-2028 utilizing MOE and SB-1 funds and includes pavement rehabilitation improvements along Baristo Road (PCI = 41) from Date Palm Drive to the east end; El Toro Road (PCI = 48), Victor Road (PCI = 53) and Neuma Drive (PCI = 55) from Ramon Road to Baristo Road.
CIP Funding Adjustments
The proposed adjustments require shifting the schedule of these five (5) projects and their associated MOE funding within the 5-Year CIP:
The three (3) projects currently experiencing design or coordination delays will be rescheduled seamlessly in the upcoming fiscal years to reflect updated delivery timelines.
At the same time, the two (2) roadway rehabilitation projects previously programmed 4 for future fiscal years will be advanced to FY 2025–2026 to ensure the city meets the annual MOE expenditure requirement.
These adjustments modify the timing of project expenditures within the 5-Year CIP while maintaining the overall programmed funding levels within the FY 2025-2026 and FY 2026- 2027. The tables below illustrate the current distribution of MOE funding and the proposed revisions resulting from advancing and delaying projects within the CIP schedule.

Bridge $ 540,000
TOTAL MOE FUNDS PER FISCAL YEAR $ 1,380,000 $ 1,185,825 $ 795,275 Notes:
(1) The Ocotillo Square Neighborhood Streets design was estimated in the amount of $600,000. Staff obtained a proposal for this design in the amount of $380,000. This revised estimate is reflected in Table 2.
(2) The Sunny Sands Neighborhood Project is currently programmed in the 5-Year CIP with $900,000 in SB-1 funding and $440,000 in MOE funds in FY 2027-28. In order to advance the expenditure of MOE funds in the current fiscal year and maintain the project within the limits of available SB-1 funding, staff recommends revising the funding allocation to $840,000 in MOE funds and $500,000 in SB-1 funds.
FISCAL IMPACT:
5 There is no fiscal impact associated with this action at this time, as the proposed adjustments only modify the timing of projects within the existing 5-Year CIP and maintain the same total funding levels programmed for FY2025-2026 and FY 2026-2027. Staff will return to City Council for approval of construction contract awards as the projects advance and the fiscal impact will be identified at that time.
FIVE-YEAR STRATEGIC PLAN:
Goal B: Community Investment
Objective: Cathedral City roads, gateways, public spaces, and other infrastructure are well planned, designed, constructed, and maintained.

RECOMMENDATION:
To adopt a resolution approving city -wide publicly available pay schedules in compliance with California Code of Regulations, Title 2, Sections 570.5, 571, 571.1 This resolution will supersede all previous resolutions regarding job classifications and comp ensation levels to the extent they conflict with this new recommendation.
BACKGROUND:
The California Public Employee’s Retirement System (CalPERS) requires all public agencies to establish and maintain publicly available pay schedules for all positions. This requirement it 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. 2026-02 (adopted January 14, 2026) approved a city -wide publicly available pay schedule
• This update consolidates all subsequent amendments and modifications
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.

The proposed resolution includes several strategic adjustments to the City’s pay 1 schedules, reflecting our commitment to maintaining competitive compensation while ensuring operational excellence.

These adjustments represent balanced approach to maintaining competitive compensation while ensuring fiscal responsibility. The changes support our strategi c goals of workforce development, operational excellence, and employee retention. 2 It’s important to note that these adjustments are part of the City’s ongoing efforts to regularly review and update its pay schedules. This ensures compliance with CalPERS regulations and maintains the city’s position as an employer of choice.
FISCAL IMPACT:

14 Staff Report
City Council
Item No. 6.E
Meeting Date: February 25, 2026
From: Sandra Molina, Community and Economic Development Director Title: Zoning Ordinance Amendment 25-0005 - An amendment to Chapter
9.114 (Accessory Dwelling Units) of Title 9 Planning and Zoning of the Cathedral City Municipal Code for consistency with new State legislation regulating accessory dwelling units.
RECOMMENDATION:
Find Zoning Ordinance Amendment 25-0005 exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act and introduce an ordinance amending Chapter 9.114 (Accessory Dwelling Units) of Title 9 Planning and Zoning of the Cathedral City Municipal Code for consistency with new Sate legislation regulating accessory dwelling units.
BACKGROUND:
On September 14, 2022, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 862, adding Chapter 9.114 (Accessory Dwelling Units) to the zoning ordinance. On December 13, 2023, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 874, updating the ADU regulations in Chapter 9.114 for consistency with new legislation regulating accessory dwelling units (ADUs), including Senate Bill 897, Assembly Bill 2221.
On September 3, 2025, City staff proposed amendments to Chapter 9.114, needed for consistency with recent changes to state ADU law, to the Planning Commission for discussion. The Planning Commission subsequently conducted a public hearing for the proposed Zoning Ordinance Amendment on November 5, 2025. The Commission voted unanimously in favor of recommending that the City Council adopt the proposed amendments.
The Planning Commission held a second public hearing for the proposed amendments on January 21, 2026, to incorporate modified development standards for attached accessory dwelling units. The Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend City Council adopt the proposed Zoning Ordinance Amendment, including additional changes necessary to conform with Senate Bill (SB) 543, which had recently been enacted on January 1, 2026.
Senate Bill 1211 and Assembly Bill 2533
Senate Bill (SB) 1211 and Assembly Bill (AB) 2533, which both took effect on January 1, 15 2025, include numerous changes to the state ADU laws. As a result of the requirements set forth in these new state laws, CCMC Chapter 9.114 must be amended for consistency. The following are new requirements of SB 1211 and AB 2533:
SB 1211:
•Amends Government Code Section 66323 to establish specific categories of ADUs that are exempt from any local objective development or design standard. ADUs that are covered by this law will be subject to state regulations for side and rear setbacks as well as height limits but will now be exempt from most of the City’s current ADU standards.
•Prohibits local agencies from requiring the replacement of off-street parking spaces if an uncovered parking space is demolished in conjunction with the construction of, or conversion to, an ADU.
•Defines “livable space” for the purpose of the provisions governing ADUs to mean a space in a dwelling intended for human habitation, including living, sleeping, eating, cooking, or sanitation.
•Authorizes up to 8 detached ADUs to be created on a lot with an existing multi-family dwelling, provided that the number of ADUs does not exceed the number of existing units on the lot, and up to 2 detached ADUs on a lot with a proposed multi-family dwelling.
AB 2533:
Prohibits local agencies from denying permits for unpermitted ADUs and JADUs that were constructed before January 1, 2020, unless they are deemed substandard. The bill also requires local agencies to inform the public about this prohibition and applies additional administrative requirements for unpermitted ADUs and JADUs.
Senate Bill 543
Senate Bill (SB) 543 was adopted in the most recent legislative session and became effective on January 1, 2026. The bill clarifies existing laws regulating accessory dwelling units, including provisions related to size standards, impact fees, and number of units permitted.
Specifically, SB 543:
•Amends Government Code Section 66323 to specify that, on a lot with an existing or proposed single-family dwelling, any combination of one JADU, one conversion ADU, and one detached ADU with up to 800 square feet of livable space, shall be allowed. •Amends the ADU and JADU size standards, including as applicable to impact fees, to specify that area shall be measured based on square feet of interior livable space, rather than gross floor area.
DISCUSSION:
The proposed amendments to Chapter 9.114 of the Cathedral City Municipal Code include changes for conformance with SB 1211, AB 2533, and SB 543, as well as a reorganization of the ADU development standards for clarity and ease of use. Attachment 1 (Exhibit 1) provides the proposed ordinance, Attachment 2 provides a summary of the proposed changes, and Attachment 3 provides a redline copy of Chapter 9.114. 16 Types of Accessory Dwelling Units
In the proposed amendment, the City’s ADU regulations are reorganized based on the type of unit proposed. The types of accessory dwelling units permitted in Cathedral City are as follows:
•Units permitted on a lot with a single-family dwelling:
oAn accessory dwelling unit constructed within an existing or proposed single- family dwelling, or within an existing accessory structure on a lot with a single- family dwelling (a.k.a., a conversion ADU)
oAn accessory dwelling unit constructed as an attachment to an existing single- family dwelling (a.k.a., an attached ADU)
oA junior accessory dwelling unit (no larger than 500 square feet, contained entirely within an existing or proposed single-family dwelling) oA detached accessory dwelling unit, no larger than 800 square feet, constructed on a lot with a single-family dwelling
oA detached accessory dwelling unit, larger than 800 square feet, constructed on a lot with a single-family dwelling
•Units permitted on a lot with a multiple-family dwelling:
oAccessory dwelling units constructed within portions of an existing multiple- family dwelling that are not used as livable space
oAccessory dwelling units that are detached from an existing or proposed multiple-family dwelling
Development Standards
Government Code Section 66323, as revised by SB 1211, establishes specific types of ADUs that are exempt from any local objective development or design standards. In some jurisdictions, these units are referred to as “state exempt ADUs” or “statewide exemption ADUs”. The categories of exemption ADUs that are subject to Government Code Section 66323 are:
•Conversion ADUs on a lot with a single-family dwelling; •Detached ADUs that are 800 square feet or less and on a lot with a single-family dwelling; and
•ADUs, conversion or detached, on a lot with a multiple-family dwelling.
Government Code Section 66323 also applies to junior accessory dwelling units; however, these units are also subject to other state requirements. These requirements are consistent with the City’s existing JADU regulations as set forth in CCMC Section 9.114.060, and therefore no changes to the JADU regulations are needed.
Exemption ADUs subject to Government Code Section 66323, as identified above, will be subject to height limits, as set forth in Section 9.114.050 of the Municipal Code, as well as four-foot side and rear yard setbacks (or setbacks sufficient for fire and safety, in the case of attached and conversion ADUs). In accordance with SB 1211, exemption ADUs are:
•Not required to match the design of the primary dwelling unit; •Not subject to the front setback;
17 •Not prohibited in front of the primary dwelling unit; •Not subject to maximum lot coverage;
•Not required to install landscaping consistent with the landscaping surrounding the primary unit; and are
•Not required to provide an off-street parking space.

(January 1, 2026 – December 31, 2028).
This Memorandum of Understanding is entered into with reference to the following facts:
A. The Cathedral City Local of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, Local 3961, is recognized under the provisions of the Meyers-Milias-Brown Act of the State of California as the majority representative of the following employees:
All full-time employees of the City of Cathedral City, except sworn firefighters, sworn police officers, executive,
administration, management, professional and confidential employees, as defined in City Resolution 82-84 Sections E and G, Administrative support in the City Manager’s office and to the City Council, City Clerk and any staff member assigned in Human Resources, and confidential Administrative Assistants to Department Heads.
B. The Cathedral City Local of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (hereinafter sometimes referred to as "AFSCME") and representatives of the Municipal Employee Relations Representative of the City of Cathedral City (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the "City") have met and conferred in good faith on wages, hours, and other terms and conditions of employment for the employees represented by AFSCME in the bargaining unit listed above, and have reached agreements which are set forth in this Memorandum of Understanding (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the "MOU" or "Agreement").
C. This Memorandum of Understanding is established in accordance with the provisions of the Meyers-Milias-Brown Act (Government Code §3500, et seq.), effective only upon ratification by the City Council of the City of Cathedral City.
D. The City will comply with Section 104 of the City Charter.
Subject to the foregoing limitations, AFSCME and the City of Cathedral City agree as follows:
ARTICLE 1: MAINTENANCE OF MEMBERSHIP; CONTRACT BAR; PETITIONS FOR DECERTIFICATION; DUES AND OTHER DEDUCTIONS
1.1 Maintenance of Membership; Contract Bar; Petitions for Decertification.

Employees withdrawing from AFSCME must submit their request to the City and AFSCME in writing.
AFSCME agrees to enforce this provision and to indemnify and hold harmless the City, its 9 AFSCME | January 1, 2026 – December 31, 2028 6 | P a g e 4909-6787-4960 v1
officers and employees, from all liabilities and/or damages arising from the operation of this Article. This Memorandum of Understanding shall further constitute a bar to the implementation of section 11(A)(2) of City Resolution 82-84, except that the City shall accept a petition for decertification of AFSCME only during the 30-60-day period prior to the expiration of this Agreement.

11.3 Disciplinary Action. The purpose of disciplinary action is to correct deficiencies in employee performance, to seek improvement to meet appropriate standards, and/or to correct for violation of City policies. The disciplinary process outlined below has been established to provide general guidelines for a fair method for disciplining employees. 28 AFSCME | January 1, 2026 – December 31, 2028 25 | P a g e 4909-6787-4960 v1
11.3.1 Types of Discipline. Discipline may be initiated for various reasons, including, but not limited to, violations of City work rules, insubordination or poor job performance. The severity of the action depends on the nature of the offense and an employee's record, and may range from verbal counseling to immediate dismissal.
The normal progressive discipline procedure consists of:
11.3.1.1 Verbal Counseling: An opportunity to communicate in a non- disciplinary fashion that a problem is perceived and that the supervisor is available to help solve it. (Not appealable)
11.3.1.2 Verbal Reprimand: To communicate to the employee that a repeat action may result in more serious disciplinary action. (Not appealable)
11.3.1.3 Written Reprimand: The reprimand shall take the form of a memorandum to the employee including a full, accurate and factual statement of the reason for the reprimand. The reprimand shall be given to the employee. The supervisor shall explain appropriate department standards and policies, employee performance expected in the future and consequences for failure to correct performance or behavior. A copy of the reprimand shall be sent to the human Resources Manager to be placed in the employee’s personnel folder. The employee may respond to the reprimand in writing within ten (10) business days and have such response placed in the employee’s personnel folder. The employee shall have no further right of response or appeal.
11.3.1.4 Suspension: Temporary removal of an employee from their duties without pay for misconduct. Employees may be suspended on the spot when there is a clear threat to the safety of other employees or the public. (Managers must notify the Personnel Director when instituting an on-the-spot suspension as soon as it is practical.)
11.3.1.5 Demotion: In lieu of, or in addition to, other forms of discipline, when facts justify a department head may demote an employee to a lower classification, or pay step. The demotion shall be subject to the notice procedures specified in Section 11.4.1 and shall be subject to appeal in accordance with Section 11.4.
11.3.1.6 Dismissal: The final step in the disciplinary process. When the employee’s conduct has been of a serious nature, uncorrected by previous discipline, or is of such a nature as to render further employment not in the City’s interests, or for other justifiable cause, the department head shall have the right to dismiss the employee. Dismissal shall be final termination of the employee’s employment. Any action of dismissal shall be taken only in 29 AFSCME | January 1, 2026 – December 31, 2028 26 | P a g e 4909-6787-4960 v1
compliance with the notice procedures specified in Section 11.4.1 and shall be subject to appeal in accordance with Section 11.4.
11.3.2 Order of Discipline. Although one or more of these steps may be taken in connection with a particular employee, no formal order or system is necessary.
The City reserves the right to deviate from this policy when it feels that circumstances warrant such a deviation. The City Manager or designee is vested with the authority to determine the appropriate course of action.
11.3.3 Most Severe Discipline. Further steps in the discipline involving suspension, demotion or dismissal should not be taken without consulting the department head and the Human Resources Manager.
11.3.4 Discipline and Probation. An employee serving any probationary period may be discharged without application of the disciplinary process and with no rights of appeal.
11.3.5 Non-Consideration of Outdated Negative Materials. Except for materials related to sustained appealable disciplinary action, in considering any current disciplinary action, the supervisor or department head shall not consider or be influenced by any negative materials in an employee's personnel file if such materials were prepared prior to the employee's most recent performance evaluation, unless the materials were made a part of a personnel evaluation and attached to it. Any materials prepared subsequent to the most recent personnel evaluation are not affected by this provision.
11.3.6 Suspension, Demotion, Dismissal. Subject to the Hearings and Appeals Procedures specified in Section 11.4.2 the City may:
11.3.6.1 Impose a suspension without pay upon an employee when, in their judgment, such action will best serve the interests of the City. Such suspension shall, however, not exceed a period of thirty (30) working days except that if the suspension is imposed because of an employee's trial by a court of law, the suspension may extend to such time as that court has rendered its decision.
Suspension of less than two (2) days is subject to appeal to the City Manager or City Manager designee mutually agreeable to
employee and City Manager within five (5) working days. The City Manager or designee will render a decision within thirty (30) calendar days and said decision shall be final. The employee may respond in writing within ten (10) working days and have the response attached to the notice of suspension.
11.3.6.2 Demote a regular employee to a position in a lower class with an appropriate reduction in pay or a reduction in pay step, for reasons including, but not limited to, unsatisfactory performance. 30 AFSCME | January 1, 2026 – December 31, 2028 27 | P a g e 4909-6787-4960 v1
11.3.6.3 Dismiss for cause any regular employee.
11.3.6.4 Only discipline involving suspension, demotion, or dismissal is subject to an appeal.
11.4 Hearings Appeals and Grievances.
11.4.1 Pre-Discipline Meeting Procedures.
11.4.1.1 Prior to undertaking any of the personnel actions set forth in Section 11, the department head, or designee shall first provide the employee with a written specification of reasons for the proposed action and all documents relied on to support the action being taken. The statement shall either be delivered personally to the employee or sent by Certified Mail, Return Receipt Requested, and shall notify the employee of their right to request a meeting with the department head. The employee may, accordingly, request a meeting to determine if there is cause for the proposed personnel action. A request for a meeting must be in writing and must be delivered to the department head on or before five (5) working days after the employee's receipt of notice of intended action.
11.4.1.2 Upon receipt of the Request for Meeting, the department head shall notify the employee of the time and place for a meeting to be held not later than ten (10) working days after receipt of the request therefore. The employee shall be entitled to be present at such meeting together with an attorney and/or designed
representative. The meeting is to be conducted by the department head or designee and shall provide the employee with the opportunity to refute, explain, or otherwise address the proposed statement of charges. All decisions of the department head or designee shall be rendered within ten (10) working days after conclusion of the meeting, and shall be final unless timely appealed by the employee as provided in the section entitled, "Appeals Procedures."
11.4.2 Appeals Procedures.
11.4.2.1 Any regular employee subjected to any disciplinary action set forth herein (suspension, demotion, or dismissal) may appeal any decision of the department head or designee by filing a written Notice of Appeal with the City Manager or designee within five (5) working days after their receipt of the decision. The employee's appeal shall be heard by an impartial hearing officer selected in a manner mutually agreeable to the City Manager and the employee; if no agreement is reached the hearing officer shall be selected from a list of advisory arbitrators from the California State 31 AFSCME | January 1, 2026 – December 31, 2028 28 | P a g e 4909-6787-4960 v1
Mediation Conciliation Service or from a list agreed to between the City Manager and the employee.
11.4.2.2 The employee may be represented by their Association/Union representative, any other regular employee of the City; or their attorney.
11.4.2.3 The Hearing Officer shall issue subpoenas to compel the attendance of witnesses, if such be necessary at the request of either party.
11.4.2.4 The hearing shall be recorded by a certified shorthand reporter.
Expenses for such recording services shall be borne equally by the City and the Union, provided, however, that each party shall be responsible for any specialized or extraordinary services they might individually request.
11.4.2.5 The expenses for the hearing officer shall be borne equally by the City and Union, and each party shall be responsible for expenses they incur.
11.4.2.6 After the close of the hearing the Hearing Officer shall prepare written findings of fact and conclusions of law based on the evidence presented at the hearing and shall present their findings to the City Manager and the employee within thirty (30) calendar days. In rendering a recommendation, the Hearing Officer shall be limited to the express terms of this document and shall not have the power to modify, amend, or delete any terms or provisions of this document. Failure of either party to insist upon compliance with any provision of this document at any given time or times under any given set or sets of circumstances shall not operate to waive or modify such provision, or in any manner whatsoever to render it unenforceable, as to any other time or times or as to any other occurrence or occurrences, whether the circumstances are, or are not, the same.
11.4.2.7 At the hearing, both the appealing employee and the City shall have the right to be heard and to present evidence.
11.4.2.8 Oral evidence shall be taken only on oath or affirmation.
11.4.2.9 Each party shall have the right to call and examine witnesses, to introduce exhibits, to cross-examine opposing witnesses on any matter relevant to the issue even though the matter was not covered in the direct examination, to impeach any witness regardless of which party first called him/her to testify, and to rebut the evidence against him/her. If the respondent does not testify in their own behalf, they may be called and examined as if under cross-examination.
32 AFSCME | January 1, 2026 – December 31, 2028 29 | P a g e 4909-6787-4960 v1
11.4.2.10 The hearing need not be conducted according to technical rules relating to evidence and witnesses. Any relevant evidence shall be admitted if it is the sort of evidence on which responsible persons are accustomed to rely in the conduct of serious affairs, regardless of the existence of any common law or statutory rules that might make improper the admission of such evidence over objection in civil actions. Hearsay evidence may be used for the purpose of supplementing or explaining any direct evidence but shall not be sufficient in itself to support a finding unless it would be admissible over objection in civil actions. The rules of privilege shall be effective to the same extent that they are now or hereafter may be recognized in civil actions, and irrelevant and unduly repetitious evidence shall be excluded.
11.4.2.11 The City Manager or designee may, if they deems appropriate, review the Hearing Officer's recommendation but shall not be bound thereby. If the City Manager makes a decision not to follow the Hearing Officer's recommendation, the City Manager shall notify the employee in writing of that decision, and the employee shall have the right to schedule a meeting with the City Manager to persuade the City Manager to following the Hearing Officer's recommendations. The employee must submit a written request to meet with the City Manager within five (5) working days of receipt of the City Manager’s decision. The City Manager shall render a decision in writing within ten (10) working days of the meeting or ten (10) working days of the opportunity to meet. The City Manager's decision shall be final and binding, subject only to review by the courts under the procedures set forth in Code of Civil Procedure §1094.5 (writ of mandate).
ARTICLE 12: ATTENDANCE AND LEAVES
12.1 Attendance at Work; Absence without Leave. Employees shall be in attendance at their work in accordance with the rules regarding hours of work, holidays, and leaves. All hours worked must be accurately recorded. Failure on the part of an employee, absent without leave, to return to duty within forty-eight (48) hours after a due notice to return to work has been delivered shall be cause for immediate dismissal. A certified letter mailed by U.S. mail to the employee's last known address without regard to whether delivery is accepted, combined with a letter by ordinary mail, first class postage prepaid thereon, shall constitute reasonable notice. This requires both methods of mailing.
12.2 Automatic Resignation. Absence without leave, whether voluntary or involuntary, for five (5) consecutive working days, is an automatic resignation from City employment, as of the last date on which the employee worked. Any employee who fails to report for work within forty-eight (48) hours after delivery of a notice as specified in Section 12.1, who by the expiration of the forty-eight (48) hours has missed or will have missed five (5) 33 AFSCME | January 1, 2026 – December 31, 2028 30 | P a g e 4909-6787-4960 v1
or more consecutive working days, shall also be deemed to have resigned from City employment, as of the last date on which the employee worked. Upon a determination by the department head or Personnel Officer that such an absence has occurred, and that the employee has resigned, notice of the deemed automatic resignation and of the employee's right to request reinstatement for good cause must be submitted in writing within five (5) working days of the city’s notice to the employee of said automatic resignation, which shall be sent by ordinary first class mail, postage prepaid thereon, or by certified mail, or both, to the employee at his or her last known address. An employee who has been deemed to have automatically resigned in accordance with the terms of this Section shall have fifteen (15) days after the date of mailing of such notice within which to request reinstatement. Any request for reinstatement must be made in writing and must be received by the City within fifteen (15) days of the date of mailing of the notice. Request for reinstatement may be made within ninety (90) days after the effective date of the deemed resignation if the notice specified above was not sent to the employee in the manner specified in this Section. Reinstatement shall be granted only if the employee makes a satisfactory explanation to the department head as to the cause of his or her absence and as to the reason for his or her failure to obtain leave therefore.
Evidence that the employee reasonably believed leave had been granted shall justify reinstatement. The department head, to order reinstatement, shall find that the employee is ready, able and willing to resume the discharge of the duties of the employee's former position or, if not then able to immediately resume such duties, the department head may consent to a leave of absence to commence upon reinstatement.
An employee so reinstated shall not be paid salary for the period of his or her absence or separation or any portion thereof. Denial of reinstatement shall be subject to appeal under the procedures specified in Section 11.4.2. In determining the employee's rights under all the circumstances, the City Manager or hearing officer shall be guided by Government Code §19996.2 and case law related thereto, including, Phillips v. California State Personnel Board (1986) 184 Cal. App. 3d 651, 229 Cal. Rptr. 502, and in such appeal the City shall have the burden to establish that the absence was in fact unauthorized and that the department head reasonably believed the employee had abandoned his or her employment.
12.3 Hours of Work. Daily hours of work (or shifts) for employees within departments shall be assigned by department heads as required to meet the operational requirements of said department. Any foreseeable absence or deviation from regularly scheduled working hours desired by an employee shall be cleared in advance through the employee's department head, and such absences shall be noted on the employee's time sheet.
Unless otherwise authorized by the City Manager, the City offices shall be kept open for regular business on all days of the year except Saturday, Sunday and holidays approved by Council. Employees for whom necessity requires a different regular work schedule than that generally applied, shall work according to a work schedule approved by the employee's department head.
12.4 Work Week. The work week shall consist of forty (40) hours of work within a period of seven (7) consecutive days beginning at 12:01 a.m. Sunday and ending at Midnight the following Saturday.
34 AFSCME | January 1, 2026 – December 31, 2028 31 | P a g e 4909-6787-4960 v1
12.4.1 Work Scheduling; Shift Selection.
12.4.1.1 Work Schedule – The dispatch work schedule will be based upon a 3/12 or 4/10 plan or as modified due to the operational needs of the department. The twelve-hour shifts shall be scheduled as 0600 to 1800 (a.m.) and 1800 to 0600 (p.m.), with the provision that the start/end time for the a.m. shift can fluctuate within two hours and the start/end time for the p.m. shift can fluctuate within four hours, depending on operational needs.
12.4.1.2 Longevity Pool – A longevity pool shall be established which shall give experienced unit members (within their own department, division or unit as appropriate) on the basis of seniority, priority in shift selection. In order to be placed in the longevity pool an employee must have been employed by their department in the same classification for at least three (3) years.
In the Dispatch Department, a Police Dispatcher Trainer or Police Dispatcher II will be assigned to each shift/watch. A probationary employee may not serve as Dispatch Trainer. Employees shall meet the department requirements for Dispatch Trainers.
12.4.1.3 Shift Selection by Seniority – Based on the operational needs of the Departments, AFSCME agrees to support shift scheduling by seniority within the longevity pool whereby after two consecutive rotations the unit members (within their department, division, or unit as appropriate) by seniority, will select another shift. Following two (2) consecutive rotations, unit members may, for one additional shift, elect to enter into a personal trade for shift scheduling. Thereafter, following three (3) consecutive rotations, unit members who wish to enter into trades to remain on a particular shift must have the advanced approval of the unit member’s department or division Supervisor. Unit members who have not been placed in the longevity pool may not trade shifts. Any shift trade may be rejected for substantial performance reasons, which shall be communicated in writing to the affected employee.
The departments will post shift assignments for sign-up sixty (60) days prior to the shift with assignments to be finalized twenty (20) days prior to the shift starting. Unit members not selecting shifts within the sign-up period will have shifts assigned by the unit member's department or division Supervisor. Shift rotation will be based on four (4) month tours: January-April, May-August, September-December or other rotations as assigned.
35 AFSCME | January 1, 2026 – December 31, 2028 32 | P a g e 4909-6787-4960 v1
12.4.2 Reasonable Notice on Change of Shift and Requests for Time Off. The immediate supervisor may change the work schedules for shift work employees whenever needed for coverage or other department needs. Whenever such a change is made to an employee’s work schedule on a non-emergency basis, the affected employee shall be provided with reasonable notice of (7) seven calendar days. In the event the (7) seven days’ notice is not given, the employee shall receive three hours pay at the rate of time and one half their regular salary rate, or the equivalent time off. For purposes of this paragraph, emergency shall include circumstances such as increased calls for service or disaster alert, but shall not include substitution for last minute illness.
All employees shall request vacation or other non-emergency time off at least 14 calendar days in advance. The employee shall be notified of the approval or disapproval of the time in writing according to the following schedule: requests received one calendar quarter in advance shall be approved or disapproved within 7 calendar days; requests received two calendar quarters in advance shall be approved or disapproved within 14 calendar days; requests received three calendar quarters in advance shall be approved or disapproved within 14 calendar days; requests received four calendar quarters in advance shall be approved or disapproved within 30 calendar days. Requests that are not responded to within these timelines may be resubmitted to the next higher supervisor for immediate action.
12.5 Leave of Absence. The City Manager, with the concurrence of the affected department head, may grant a regular employee a leave of absence for a period not to exceed one year. No such leave shall be granted except upon written request of the employee setting forth the reason for the request. Approval shall be in writing.
Upon expiration of an approved leave, the employee shall be reinstated in the position held at the time leave was granted, subject to the conditions of the leave or as provided by State and/or Federal laws. Failure on the part of an employee on leave to report promptly at its expiration shall be cause for dismissal. The depositing in the U.S. mail of a certified letter, addressed to the employee's last known place of address shall be reasonable notice of dismissal for failure to return to work. Any employee dismissed under these provisions may apply for reinstatement within the time specified and under the procedure specified in Section 12.2.
Such a leave shall generally be without pay, provided that the City Manager shall have discretion to grant pay for the first fifteen (15) consecutive workdays. Any employee on an approved leave of absence shall receive no vacation benefits and no sick leave after fifteen (15) consecutive workdays. City contributions to retirement, health and medical plans shall be suspended until the employee is reinstated. An employee who is on leave of absence shall be responsible for reimbursing the City for any payroll deductions that the employee has authorized. An employee reinstated after a leave of absence shall receive the same step in the salary range the employee received when the leave of absence began. Time spent on such leave shall not count towards service for increases within the salary range or benefit accruals. The employee's merit review date shall be set forward in time one month for each thirty (30) consecutive calendar days taken. The 36 AFSCME | January 1, 2026 – December 31, 2028 33 | P a g e 4909-6787-4960 v1
employee shall retain accumulated vacation credits, sick leave credits, and other similar credits; however, such credits or seniority shall not accrue to a person granted such leave during the period of absence. When an employee is granted a leave of absence without pay, the City shall discontinue payment of medical, health and other similar insurance premiums for the employee and dependents. At the time the employee requests a leave of absence, the employee may pre-pay the insurance premiums by depositing funds with the Finance Department prior to the expiration of coverage, provided that such a continuation of coverage is authorized by the City's contract for medical insurance.
12.6 Vacation Leave.
12.6.1 Vacations. All employees shall accrue vacation credits according to the following schedule:
Hrs./Pay Period Hrs./Year
Less than 2 years 4.62 120
2 to 5 years 5.54 144
6 to 9 years 6.46 168
10 years or more 8.31 216
12.6.2 Vacation Accumulation. Employees are encouraged to use their accrued vacation time annually. Earned vacation credits shall be accumulated. Employees may, however, carry over unused vacation credits to succeeding calendar years.
Except upon written approval by the City Manager, accumulated vacation credits shall not exceed the employee's two (2) year maximum rate of accrual. Excess hours are calculated approximately December 1 of each year and paid during December.
Upon a four (4) week prior written request, one (1) time per calendar year, each employee may receive pay for up to one-half (1/2) of the employee's annual accrual rate for unused vacation time; provided, however, that a minimum of at least once per calendar year, fifty-six (56) hours of vacation leave is taken off of which forty (40) hours of vacation leave must be taken off consecutively which guarantees a minimum of one work week off. Such time may be used in conjunction with holidays. The City Manager may approve exceptions to this provision based on extenuating circumstances.
12.6.3 Holidays or Illness within Vacation Period. Holidays falling within the vacation period shall not be considered as part of the employee's vacation and shall not be charged against vacation credits. Illness during a vacation period shall not be considered as sick leave, unless confirmed by a physician's statement and approved by the Personnel Officer.
12.6.4 Vacation Credits When Employment Terminates. Upon termination of employment, an employee shall be paid for unused vacation credits.
12.6.5 Effect of Absence on Vacation Crediting. Absence due to sick leave or other approved leaves of absences will not affect computations for vacation credits 37 AFSCME | January 1, 2026 – December 31, 2028 34 | P a g e 4909-6787-4960 v1
unless such absences exceed one (1) month, in which case the time over the month of said absence shall be excluded from computation and no vacation leave will accrue.
12.7 Discretionary Time Off. The City Manager may grant discretionary time off to any City employee in unique situations where actions of the employee are over and above the call of duty and clearly merit such consideration.
12.8 Compensatory Time. Any employee who is a member of the bargaining unit represented by AFSCME shall be authorized to accumulate, to the extent allowed by the Fair Labor Standards Act, up to one-hundred (100) hours of compensatory time, which shall be credited at the rate of one and one-half hours of "comp" time for all over-time hours worked. The accumulation of such hours shall be at the discretion of the employee, who shall have the right to elect whether to accept compensation or compensatory time off. If an employee has more than one-hundred (100)hours of "comp" time on the books, over-time work shall be paid. At the end of the fiscal year, unless requested otherwise in writing by the employee, all unused "comp" time on the City's records shall be cashed out. Only if the time is carried over beyond the current pay period, shall time and one- half computation occur. The Federal Fair Labor Standards Act intends that hours accumulated as compensatory time off shall actually be used, and shall not be accumulated for later pay. The City recognizes the vested nature of such accumulated hours. The use of compensatory time off shall be taken by the employee, if the employee so elects, only at a time satisfactory to the department head. In addition to the above, “Comp” time may be cashed out once more per year by the employee if the employee provides 30 days’ written notice.
12.9 Holidays
Holidays: The public offices of the City of City shall be closed on the dates set forth in the approved Annual Holiday Council Resolution. The Annual Holiday Council Resolution cannot exceed 11 designated days prior to the parties meeting and conferring.
12.9.1 Floating Holiday. In addition, to the holidays, employees shall be credited with floating holiday hours with the remaining holiday hours twice a year on January 1, and July 1, to bring the total combined holiday hours and float hours to 144 per year for all employees.
Ambulance Operators shall be credited 12-hours per designated holiday with any balance going to Float time. The total holiday time shall be 144 hours.
12.9.2 Holidays - Time Off or Extra Pay. Employees shall be allowed time off with pay for one work shift at the employee’s straight time hourly rate for any holiday unless required by the department head or City Manager to work in order to maintain City services. Employees who are required to work and do so on a recognized holiday shall receive additional compensation at one and one half (1-1/2) times the employee’s hourly rate for the holiday hours worked. 38 AFSCME | January 1, 2026 – December 31, 2028 35 | P a g e 4909-6787-4960 v1
12.9.3 Holiday Compensation for Shift Work Employees. Employees that are assigned to a shift schedule that does not allow holiday time off shall receive compensation for the holiday in the following manner:
A. When the holiday falls outside the employee’s scheduled shift, the employee shall receive holiday pay for one (1) full shift or the equivalent time off. In the event an employee chooses to take the equivalent time off, such time off shall be administered in the same manner as a floating holiday. under section 12.9.6 of this Agreement.
B. When the holiday falls fully or partially within the employee’s scheduled work shift the employee shall receive holiday pay for one full shift plus time and one-half their regular rate of pay for all hours worked during the holiday, provided that the employee shall receive no less than four hours pay, at the rate of time and one half, for the hours worked.
12.9.4 Other Employees. Employees not working shift schedules, who are required to work and do so on a recognized holiday (other than the "floating" holiday) shall receive compensation at one and one half (1-1/2) times the employee's hourly rate for the hours so worked.
12.9.5 Floating Holiday Waiver. Employees are allowed to accumulate floating holiday hours during a given fiscal year; however, the float hours shall not be carried over into subsequent fiscal year. Any float hours remaining, in excess of 20- hours, in an employee’s bank shall be cashed out through payroll processing in the second paycheck of June of each year.
12.9.6 Jury Duty. An employee summoned to and serving on jury duty shall submit evidence of the Summons to the department head. The employee may be absent from duty with pay for time required to be away from the employee's regularly scheduled work hours. An employee who is released by the court from jury duty on any regularly scheduled workday shall return to work to complete any remaining portion of regularly scheduled work hours unless otherwise excused by the department head. The employee shall be entitled to retain juror fees as reimbursement for expenses associated with jury duty.
Those employees who work shifts slightly off the normal jury duty scheduled will have their shifts adjusted to match that of jury duty.
A. Fatigue Time: Shift employees will have a maximum of six (6) hours to rest between Court-documented time of being excused from jury duty and when they must report to work. If any of those hours include their regular work schedule, they shall be paid as if they worked that time.
B. Court Overtime: When employees are compelled to attend court outside of their regular work schedule for reasons related to City business, they shall be paid at the overtime rate for all hours worked that exceed forty (40) hours per week as per the Fair Labor Standards Act, except in those cases where the employee is a plaintiff or petitioner in the lawsuit. 39 AFSCME | January 1, 2026 – December 31, 2028 36 | P a g e 4909-6787-4960 v1
12.9.7 Bereavement Leave. In accordance with AB 1949, California Government Code §12945.7, an employee is entitled to a leave of absence on account of the death of a member of their immediate family, not to exceed five (5) days..

12.10 Sick Leave. An employee may use accrued sick leave for illness of the employee or physical incapacity of the employee due to illness or injury, or for physical examinations, including eyes, dentist appointments or other commonly accepted health related matters.
All regular full-time employees shall be credited with sick leave at the rate of 3.69 hours per pay period or major fraction thereof. An employee who is absent because of illness and seeks to use accrued sick leave may be required to state the reason for the absence on the approved form. If an absence because of illness or disability extends beyond three (3) consecutive workdays or the employee has had more than four (4) unverified sick days in a 12-month period, the employee may be required to submit a physician’s written certification (release to return to work) to the department head before the employee is eligible to receive sick leave pay.

12.10.4 Effect of Absence on Sick Leave.

Circumstances may arise where an employee or the employee's immediate family may suffer an unforeseen event, which may have a catastrophic effect on the employee and/or the employee's family. Under such a circumstance the employee may request leave donation from fellow employees under the following procedures:
12.12.1 Employee's Own Personal Extended Illness.

12.12.4.5 The donated leave will be put in to a "Catastrophic Leave" account and can only be used to continue an employee on payroll who is caring for a member of the employee’s immediate family or to cover the difference between the payments received from the disability insurance company and the employee’s full salary and to cover the cost of insurance offered by the City for those persons suffering from a personal illness for which the leave was donated.
12.12.4.6 Donated leave will be credited to the "Catastrophic Leave" account on an hour-for-hour basis (i.e., 10 hours donated becomes 10 hours of sick leave at the receiving employee’s rate of pay). In no case shall the total amount of leave donated exceed eight (8) hours of sick leave and eight (8) hours vacation leave per donor.
12.12.4.7 Any time remaining in the employees "Catastrophic Leave" account upon return to work will be transferred to a "Catastrophic Leave Bank" for use by other employees who qualify under the provisions of this Article. The Catastrophic Leave Bank" will have a cap of 320 hours. Any remaining leave in excess of 320 hours will be converted to a cash value and placed in a fund for an employees’ program to be determined at a later date.

53 Staff Report
City Council
Item No. 3.G
Meeting Date: March 25, 2026
From: Erick Becerril, Economic Development Manager
Title: Consideration of Support for Senate Bill 872 (SB 872) – State Water Infrastructure Funding
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a position of support for Senate Bill 872 (SB 872) and authorize the City Manager to sign a letter of support on behalf of the City of Cathedral City.
BACKGROUND:
On March 9, 2026, the City of Cathedral City received a formal request from the Desert Water Agency (DWA), transmitted by Victoria Llort, Director of Public Affairs and Conservation/Public Information Officer, requesting the City’s support for Senate Bill 872 (SB 872).
On March 11, 2026, the City received additional correspondence from the Coachella Valley Water District (CVWD), through its Government Affairs Program Manager, confirming its support for SB 872 and encouraging regional partner agencies to adopt similar positions.
SB 872, authored by Senator Jerry McNerney, proposes a long-term funding strategy to address critical infrastructure challenges within California’s State Water Project (SWP) and the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta.
DISCUSSION:
Senate Bill 872 proposes a long-term funding commitment to address critical deficiencies in California’s water infrastructure by appropriating $150 million annually over 20 years to the Department of Water Resources for State Water Project (SWP) conveyance repairs, along with an additional $150 million annually for Delta levee improvements. These investments are intended to restore lost capacity caused by land subsidence and reinforce aging infrastructure that is essential to statewide water delivery.
The State Water Project is a foundational component of California’s water system, serving approximately 27 million residents and supporting more than 750,000 acres of irrigated 1 agriculture. For the Coachella Valley, the SWP plays a critical role in long-term water reliability through exchange agreements with the Metropolitan Water District, even without a direct physical connection. CVWD has identified that subsidence-related capacity reductions could directly impact regional water reliability and limit the State’s ability to respond to ongoing challenges associated with Colorado River supply constraints.
Supporting agencies have emphasized that failure to address subsidence and levee vulnerabilities will lead to increased water costs, reduced operational flexibility, and heightened risks to public safety, the environment, and the broader economy. Climate- related pressures, including prolonged drought, extreme precipitation events, and sea level rise, further exacerbate these risks and increase the urgency of long-term infrastructure investment. The proposed funding strategy is intended to proactively address these challenges before they require more costly emergency responses.
From a local perspective, water reliability is directly tied to Cathedral City’s economic development, housing production, and long-range planning efforts. Alignment with regional partners such as DWA and CVWD strengthens intergovernmental coordination and ensures the City remains engaged in policy decisions that have direct implications for local residents and businesses. Supporting SB 872 positions the City as a collaborative partner in advancing sustainable, reliable water infrastructure at both the regional and statewide levels.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no direct fiscal impact associated with adopting a position of support for SB 872.
FIVE-YEAR STRATEGIC PLAN:

Honorable Jerry McNerney
California State Senate
State Capitol, Suite 6640
Sacramento, CA 95814
SUBJECT: SB 872 (McNerney) - SUPPORT
Dear Senator McNerney:
The Coachella Valley Water District (CVWD), which serves approximately 270,000 residents in its service area ranging from the San Gorgonio Pass to the Salton Sea, is pleased to support Senate Bill 872 (McNerney) which would ensure ongoing financial support to address the threat of subsidence on the State Water Project (SWP).
Despite being one of the furthest customers in the State Water Project delivery system, this source is an important part of CVWD’s water management portfolio. CVWD has been a contractor since 1963, and due to not having a physical connection to the State Water Project, receives this water through an exchange agreement with the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD). In this arrangement CVWD exchanges its SWP for an equal volume of MWD’s allocation from the Colorado River Aqueduct, with the first wet water delivery made in 1973. The SWP continues to be an important part of CVWD’s long-term water supply, and the exchange agreement serves an important role in helping California adjust to changing conditions on the Colorado River that threatens the State’s vital interests.
However, subsidence on the SWP will reduce its capacity to deliver water. The reduced delivery directly places the water supply reliability of CVWD at risk, threatens the State’s ability to ensure a reliable water supply for two-thirds of California’s residence, and reduces the ability to address declining reliability from the water supplied by the Colorado River.
SB 872 proposes an annual appropriation of $150 million to the Department of Water Resources over 20 years to address subsidence along the State Water Project and Delta levee maintenance. CVWD recognizes this is a significant request, but one that is entirely proportionate to the economic stakes involved. Consider what depends on the reliability of the SWP and the Delta: Silicon Valley's water supply, over 750,000 acres of productive farmland generating billions in agricultural revenue, and the broader water security of a state that has grown into the fourth-largest economy in the world. California's remarkable economic trajectory was made possible, in no small part, by the infrastructure the SWP provides. A $3 billion investment over two decades is modest when weighed against what is at stake, and the cost of failing to act would be far greater. For these reasons, CVWD respectfully requests your support for SB 872.
Sincerely,
J. M. Barrett
General Manager

Item No. 3.H
Meeting Date: March 25, 2026
From: Anne V. Ambrose, Assistant City Manager
Title: To Oppose AB 1383 (McKinnor) Public Employees' Retirement Benefits RECOMMENDATION:
To oppose AB 1383 (McKinnor) Public Employees Retirement Benefits and authorize the City Manager to sign a letter of opposition on behalf of the City of Cathedral City.
BACKGROUND:
Assembly Bill 1383 (AB 1383), introduced by Assembly Member Tina McKinnor, proposes significant changes to California’s public employee pension framework, particularly for public safety employees. The bill modifies provisions of the California Public Employees’ Pension Reform Act of 2013 (PEPRA), which established limits on pensionable compensation and retirement formulas for new employees. PEPRA was designed to address a wide range of issues involving public employee pensions and was a major step in helping local agencies better manage future pension costs and prevent the California Public Employees Retirement System from sliding into insolvency. AB 1383 would upend many of the reforms put in place in 2013 by PEPRA.
Specifically, this bill would:
Increase the pensionable compensation cap;
Reduce the retirement age for public safety from 57 to 55 prospectively; Add a 4th safety tier that is 3% @ 55, prospective and subject to bargaining; Allow local agencies to adjust their local formula in a prospective manner; and Permit authorized employee representatives to bargain with the employer over the employee share of payment for the normal cost.
DISCUSSION:
PEPRA has been in place since 2013, and we have had the opportunity to see its impact on pension funds and local agencies. For the state, schools, and public agencies in CalPERS, PEPRA has already led to $5.8 billion in savings. As years go by and the public sector force skews towards more new members, those savings will increase dramatically. Over the next 1 ten years, PEPRA is expected to result in $26.5 billion in cost savings for CalPERS members1. This data does not include the public agencies that maintain their own pension system. PEPRA helps support budgetary stability which supports operational and workforce stability.
AB 1383 increases mandated costs without a way for public agencies to absorb them. The potential cost of this bill comes at a time of fiscal uncertainty. Much like the state, local agencies are facing budget challenges, as revenues are not keeping pace with the costs of delivering services. AB 1383 would cause increased benefit costs and new cost pressures over the provisions that can be bargained, leading to serious cost increases for local government.
According to CalPERS, given the current discount rate of 6.8%, AB 1383 is expected to increase the required contributions of employers and PEPRA members and increase the present value of future benefits (PVB) by $5.3 billion for all State, Schools, and Local Agency plans. In addition to the change in PVB, CalPERS estimates that the change to the accrued liability to be $370 million for all State, Schools, and Local Agency plans. However, if the discount rate is reduced this year by the CalPERS Board, the impacts could be even more significant for local agencies. Additionally, CalPERS’ analysis does not include any estimated costs for the provisions in AB 1383 that can be bargained, including a 3% at 55 benefit tier and adjustments to the share of normal costs between employers and employees—nor does it include an estimate of costs for the twenty county-operated pension systems.
As of June 30, 2025, the Public Employees Retirement Fund (PERF) was approximately 79% funded. If CalPERS misses its investment return mark of 6.8% on June 30th, local agencies in CalPERS and the State must pay the difference. Again, this bill would compound costs for local governments, including Cathedral City, and the State and do nothing to offset the costs.
FISCAL IMPACT:
While the precise fiscal impact on the City is unknown, AB 1383 is expected to increase employer pension contributions, create long-term cost escalation, and reduce budgetary flexibility.

Item No. 5.A
Meeting Date: March 25, 2026
From: Dominique Camps, Associate Planner
Title: 2025 Housing Element Annual Progress Report
RECOMMENDATION:
To receive the 2025 Housing Element Annual Progress Report and authorize its transmittal to the California Department of Housing and Community Development and the California Governor’s Office of Land Use and Climate Innovation.
BACKGROUND:
In accordance with Government Code 65400, all cities are required to prepare an annual progress report (APR) on the state and implementation of the Housing Element of the General Plan using forms adopted by the California Department of Community and Economic Development (HCD).
On June 28, 2023, the City Council unanimously approved Resolution 2023-21 adopting the Housing Element Update for the 2021-2029 Planning Period. As shown below, the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) allocated 2,549 housing units to the City through the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) process for the 2021-2029 Planning Period:
Regional Housing Needs Allocation 2021-2029
Income Category Units Allocated
Extremely Low Income 270
Very Low Income (<50% AMI) 270
Low Income (50-50% AMI) 353
Moderate Income (81-120% AMI) 457
Above Moderate Income (>120% of AMI) 1,199
Total Units 2,549
AMI = area median income. Riverside County median income = $103,900 for 4-person household This APR evaluates implementation of the 2021-2029 Housing Element programs as well as progress on housing production made during the previous calendar year (January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025) towards meeting the RHNA. The APR is due annually by April 1. The 1 2025 Housing Element Annual Progress Report is included as attachment 1.
DISCUSSION:
The APR tracks the production of housing units by the number of entitlements approved, as well as the number of building permits applied for, issued and completed. These entitlements and building permits include applications submitted in 2025 as well as applications submitted in previous years but not approved or completed until 2025.
In 2025, as shown in the table below, no entitlements were approved for residential units, building permits were issued for 295 units, and building permits were completed for 195 units.
Summary of Housing Entitlements and Building Permits in 2025 Units by Structure Type Units Entitled Units Permitted Units Completed Single Family 0 131 69
2 to 4 Unit Structures 0 0 1
5+ Unit Structures 0 97 97
Accessory Dwelling Units 0 66 27
Manufactured Home 0 1 1
Total 0 295 195
Of the 131 single family units permitted in 2025, 65 were for the Campanile project, 41 were for the Vesta at Escena project, 33 were for the Rio Del Sol project, and 13 were infill units.
Building Permits Issued for Housing
While applications, entitlements approved, building permits issued, and building permits completed are all tracked in the APR, only building permits issued are used to track fulfillment of the RHNA. Of the 295 building permits issued in 2025:
35% (103 units) are assumed to be affordable for extremely low and very low-income households.
5% (15 units) are assumed to be affordable for low-income households. 1% (3 units) are assumed to be affordable for moderate-income households. 59% (174 units) are assumed to be affordable for above moderate-income households.
Listed rent or sales price was used, when available, to determine the affordability of non- deed restricted units. When rent or sales price data was not available, units were conservatively assumed to be market rate and affordable to households with above moderate incomes (120%+ of area median income).
Of the units categorized as affordable for extremely low-, very low-, low- or moderate- incomes, 25 are accessory dwelling units (ADUs), and the other 96 are the Desert Marigold project. The permit for Desert Marigold was the only building permit subject to a deed restriction for affordability in 2025. The project includes 96 deed-restricted units affordable for extremely-low income households (30% of area median income) and one unit for on-site management (assumed to be market rate). The deed restriction is for 55 years.
Accessory Dwelling Units
2 In 2025, 66 building permits were issued for Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs). None of these units were subject to deed restrictions for affordability. The tenure and affordability of ADUs was based on applicant-input data about anticipated use and rent rate, which is collected as part of the online building permit application. For permits where the applicant opted not to provide this information, the ADU was assumed to be for rent at market rate and affordable for above moderate-income households.
6th Cycle RHNA Progress
The 2025 APR measures progress towards the RHNA on the fifth year (January 1 to December 31, 2025) of the 2021-2029 Planning Period. The table below summarizes the total number of building permits approved over the first five years of the current planning period, for each level of affordability, relative to the number of units allocated for the 6th Cycle RHNA.

RHNA Progress Relative to Other Jurisdictions
As an indicator about Cathedral City’s progress in meeting the 6 th Cycle RHNA, the table below compares the City’s progress with neighboring cities in the Coachella Valley. The table provides housing production (number of units issued building permits 2021-2024) relative to the number of units required by the RHNA allocation for each income category. Each jurisdiction has a different RHNA target. The table also provides the percentage of the total RHNA allocation completed in each jurisdiction, across all income categories. Because most cities have not yet submitted their 2025 Housing Element APR, data from the 2024 APRs are used for purposes of comparison.
As of the 2024 APR, Cathedral City had overall made more progress towards its 6th Cycle RHNA than Desert Hot Springs or Coachella, but less progress than Palm Desert, Rancho Mirage, Indian Wells, La Quinta, and Indio. It should be noted that while several cities have made significant progress towards meeting RHNA targets for above moderate-income units, housing production is generally falling behind for units affordable to extremely low-, very low, 3 low-, and moderate-income households.

The APR also requires reporting on the City’s progress on implementing each of the programs identified in the Housing Element. These programs are a required component of the Housing Element and establish the City’s objectives to facilitate the maintenance, improvement, and development of housing. Cathedral City’s Housing Element includes 45 programs, categorized under three goals:
Goal 1: A broad range of housing types located in all the City’s neighborhoods, which meet the needs of all existing and future households.
Goal 2: Facilitate the development of affordable housing for extremely-low-, very-low- , low- and moderate-income households.
Goal 3: The maintenance and rehabilitation of the City’s residential neighborhoods.
Completed Programs
Some of the Housing Element programs were implemented in 2022 through comprehensive updates (Zoning Ordinance Amendment 22-002 and Change of Zone 21-001) that were adopted to ensure zoning consistency with the recently adopted General Plan and Housing Element Updates. These amendments completed Housing Element programs such as:
Program 1.A.7: Rezone APNs 677-420-016 and 680-190-037 from R2 to R3 to allow a density of at least 20-24 units per acre.
4 Program 1.B.5: Amend the Zoning Ordinance to allow Low Barrier Navigation Centers in nonresidential and multifamily zones.
Program 2.F.1: Comprehensive update of the Zoning Code and Zoning Map to remove governmental constraints to the provision of all housing types.
Ongoing Programs
Housing Element programs are also continuously advanced through ongoing activities conducted by the Community and Economic Development Department and other departments involved in the development review process. For example:
Program 1.A.3: Maintain a Planned Unit Development permit ordinance which allows flexibility in development standards to encourage housing construction while preserving natural resources.
Program 1.A.4: Establish a list of active affordable housing developers in the region and meet annually with those developments to identify development opportunities. Program 1.A.5: Provide technical assistance to property owners and developers in support of lot consolidation.
Program 3.A.4: The Code Compliance Division shall continue to maintain and upgrade living conditions to ensure safe, sanitary, and healthy living conditions… Target 25 homes annually for living condition upgrades.
Programs Not Yet Started
Many of the programs identified in the Housing Element establish policy direction intended to facilitate housing production. However, several of these programs are not currently implemented through specific regulatory standards or procedures. For example:
Program 1.A.4: Negotiate the inclusion of affordable housing including units targeted for extremely-low-income households when feasible, in Specific Plans, PUDs, and Tentative Tract Maps with each developer as application is made. oThe City will strive to negotiate for 10 lower income units throughout the community annually.
Program 1.A.7: Owner-occupied and rental multifamily residential developments that have 20 percent of the units reserved for lower income households shall be allowed by-right.
Program 1.A.9: Develop and establish incentives for subdividing large lots (10 acres or greater) or creating new parcels to make the development of affordable housing projects more feasible (lot sizes of 0.5 to 10 acres) while encouraging a range of development sizes.
oAffordable housing projects will be allowed by-right, and the City will establish fee waivers, flexible development standards, and expedited processing in its incentive program.
Prohousing Designation Opportunity
The City’s Housing Element programs align with the California Prohousing Designation Program, which provides an opportunity to advance housing program implementation through targeted policy actions.
On February 7, 2026, in the Strategic Planning Workshop, the City Council discussed 5 potentially applying for the Prohousing Designation Program. The program is a certification awarded to jurisdictions that demonstrate a proactive approach to accelerating housing production through land use and zoning reforms, including streamlining permits, reducing barriers to development, and reducing financial burdens. Jurisdictions that receive the designation gain a competitive advantage when applying for certain state funding programs.
The Prohousing Designation application is a non-competitive certification administered by California Department of Housing and Community Development. The primary benefit is eligibility for grant funding that supports infrastructure, planning, and housing-related initiatives that facilitate housing production. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis and must achieve a minimum score to qualify for the designation. However, the higher the total score, the more competitive a Prohousing-designated community is in consideration for grant amounts. Housing Element programs that are implemented through actionable policies and practices may qualify for Prohousing Designation.
Alignment with the Development Code Update
The ongoing Development Code Update provides an opportunity to translate the Housing Element programs into actionable policies and development standards that more directly influence housing outcomes. Targeted incentives that are specifically tied to housing development, particularly for projects that include units affordable to lower-income households, can provide flexibility for developers, advance Housing Element objectives, and support the City’s application for Prohousing Designation.
For example, Housing Element programs that call for facilitating housing development could be implemented through Development Code policies such as:
Flexible parking standards for housing developments, particularly for projects that include affordable units or are located near services and transit, rather than broadly reducing parking requirements for all land uses.
Adjustments to development standards such as setbacks, lot coverage, or density flexibility that apply specifically to housing developments or mixed-use projects that include residential units.
Streamlined approval processes or by-right provisions for qualifying housing projects, particularly where a portion of units are reserved for lower-income households. Fee reductions, waivers, or other financial incentives tied specifically to housing development rather than applied generally across all development types.
While the Development Code Update is ongoing, the City has an opportunity to establish programs that align with the criteria evaluated under the State’s Prohousing Designation, advance implementation of Housing Element programs, and ultimately facilitate the production of housing affordable to a range of income levels, as required by the RHNA allocation.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No impact.
FIVE-YEAR STRATEGIC PLAN:
GOAL F – EMBRACING, INCLUSIVE COMMUNITY
6 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 with thoughtful, coordinated, and collaborative programs.
