New Employees with less than six (6) months of service are ineligible to receive Vacation Leave Buy Back. The percentages may be adjusted in accordance with the Retirement Health Savings Plan elections and provisions for affected individuals, per IRS regulations.
VACATION LEAVE CONVERSION:
Chief of Police – May convert a maximum of one hundred and twenty (120) hours of Vacation Leave to pay per fiscal year.

WORKERS’ COMPENSATION PROGRAM:
Whenever any Employee of the City is disabled whether temporarily or permanently by injury or illness arising out of, and in the course of, his/her duties the Employee will be compensated as follows: On the first, second, and third day of the injury Employees will use accrued Sick, Vacation, Floating Holiday, and/or Management Leave for full salary continuance. Thereafter, the Employee will receive 100% salary plus full benefits continuation for a period of one (1) year.
WORKERS’ COMPENSATION PREMIUM PAYMENT:
In the event of a work-related illness or injury, which results in a permanent disability settlement, the City will provide a 10% premium benefit payment provided the following occurs:
That the Workers’ Compensation Appeals Board approves the total settlement, including the 10% premium benefit.
That neither a “Notice of Claim” nor “Application for Adjudication of claim” will have been filed or served against the City of Chino.
That the injured Employee has diligently sought medical attention as prescribed by the treating physician(s) approved by the City.
711
That the injured Employee and the City have employed the guidance of the State Department of Industrial Relations Office of Information and Assistance to resolve any outstanding issues or misunderstandings.
Representation is a legal right recognized by statutory law. Nothing precludes an Employee from retaining legal counsel or representation; however, the premium benefit offered is only available in cases handled without the involvement of legal counsel. This is done in recognition of the cost savings that result in non-litigated cases that can be passed on to the ill or injured worker.
SAVINGS CLAUSE:
Should any clause in this Compensation and Benefit Plan be held invalid by law and/or by a court of competent jurisdiction, then only that clause will be stricken and the remainder of the Compensation and Benefit Plan will remain in full force and effect.
MAINTENANCE OF EXISTING BENEFITS:
All wages, hours and other terms and conditions of employment not specifically altered herein and presently enjoyed by the Employees will remain in full force and effect unless determined by law and/or a court of competent jurisdiction to be unlawful or amended by City Council.
IMPLEMENTATION:
These compensation and benefits are subject to consideration and approval by the City Manager of the City of Chino and will only be implemented upon adoption by the City Council.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: NOVEMBER 18, 2025
TITLE: AD HOC COMMITTEES.
PAGE: 2
BACKGROUND
A future long-term goal for the City is the Downtown Chino area. Staff seeks input from the City Council on the Civic Center Master Plan and requests an ad hoc committee to review future goals for downtown Chino.
Another matter is related to current Information Technology ne eds related to software options and training . Staff request s the City Council to form an ad hoc committee to review current software options, solutions, as well as training, and provide potential recommendations to the City Council.
ISSUES/ANALYSIS
Beginning at California Government Code Section 54950, the Ralph M. Brown Act (“Brown Act”) requires that local government legislative bodies conduct government business in an open and duly noticed public meeting. However, there are specific exemptions when th e Brown Act is not applicable. One of those exceptions includes temporary committees, sometimes called ad hoc committees.
Ad hoc committees have no more than two City Council members (i.e., less than a quorum), they do not have a fixed meeting schedule, they do not have continuing subject matter jurisdiction, and they serve a limited or single purpose. The last feature also means that once a task is complete, the respective ad hoc committee will dissolve.
As written above, City staff is exploring options for the City Council to review the City ’s Information Technology software options along with training and provide direction rela ted to Downtown Chino. The City Manage r is request ing that the City Council form a n Information Technology and Training Ad Hoc Committee and a Downtown Chino Ad Hoc Committee.
Therefore, to facilitate feedback and open discussion with selected members of t he City Council, it is requested that 1) the se ad hoc committees be formed and 2) that the City Council appoint two members to serve on each of these ad hoc committees.

TITLE: COMMUNITY SUPPORT FUND - MAYOR PRO TEM BURTON.
PAGE: 2
BACKGROUND
The City of Chino is fortunate to have multiple non -profits and community groups dedicated to serving the public and preserving Chino’s unique history. To assist in their ongoing efforts, the City Council from time to time authorizes expenditures from the City’s community support fund.
These expenditures serve a valid public purpose by helping to continue the outstanding services that these organizations provide to our community.
ISSUES/ANALYSIS
To continue this tradition, Mayor Pro Tem Burton recommends that the City Council approve the following contribution:
Chino Kiwanis Club (Golf Tournament ) $300 – Serves the Chino community through various services and Citywide fundraising projects.
By approving this contribution, Chino Kiwanis Club (Golf Tournament) will be better equipped to provide services to the Chino community. Therefore, as proposed by Mayor Pro Tem Burton, staff recommend that the City Council approve the community support contribution to Soroptimist International of the Chino Valley.
