Request for Appeal Hearing: An employee may submit a written request for appeal to the Human Resources Manager within fourteen (14) calendar days from:
1) Receipt of the final notice of discipline; or 2) The date of attempted delivery of the notice by the Post Office or delivery service to the last known address of the employee. Failure to file a timely written request for an appeal waives the right to an appeal hearing and any appeal of the discipline.
Appeal Hearing Officer: The appeal hearing officer shall be an individual selected through State Mediation and Conciliation Service (SMCS).
Date and Time of the Appeal Hearing: Once the appeal hearing officer has been designated, the Human Resources Manager will set a date for an appeal hearing.
The employee shall be notified in writing at least twenty-one (21) calendar days prior to the scheduled date of the hearing.
Prehearing Notice of Witnesses and Evidence: No later than ten (10) calendar days before the hearing date, each party will provide the other and the appeal hearing officer a list of all witnesses to be called (except rebuttal witnesses), and a copy of all evidence (except rebuttal evidence) to be submitted at the hearing unless either party agrees to an extension. The City will use numbers to identify its evidence; the employee will use alphabet letters. Neither party will be permitted to call any witness or evidence that has not been listed, unless that party can show that the party could not have reasonably anticipated the need for the witness or exhibit.
Subpoenas: Upon the request of either party, and upon his or her own motion, the hearing officer will issue subpoenas to compel attendance at the appeal hearing.
Each party is responsible for serving his/her/its own subpoenas. City employees who are subpoenaed to testify during working hours will be released with pay to appear at the hearing. City employees who are subpoenaed to testify during nonworking hours will be compensated for the time they actually spend testifying.
Continuances: The appeal hearing officer may continue a scheduled hearing only upon good cause shown.

Effective July 1, 2024
43 Record of the Appeal Hearing: The hearing shall be recorded, either electronically or by a court reporter, at the option of the City. If the City orders a transcript or makes a transcript of the recording, the City will notify the employee within three (3) days of ordering or making the transcript, and will provide a copy of the transcript upon receipt of the costs of duplication.
Employee Appearance: The employee must appear personally before the hearing officer at the time and place set for the hearing. The employee may be represented by any person he or she may select.
Cost of Hearing: The parties agree to split the costs incurred as a result of the Hearing.
Hearing Process:
1) Sworn Testimony: All witnesses shall be sworn in prior to testifying. The hearing officer or court reporter shall request each witness to raise his/her hand and respond to the following: “Do you swear that the testimony that you are about to give is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?” 2) Evidence: Hearings need not be conducted according to technical rules relating to evidence and witnesses, but hearings shall be conducted in a manner that the hearing officer decides is the most conducive to determining the truth. Hearsay evidence may be used for the purpose of supplementing or explaining any direct evidence, but over timely objection shall not be sufficient in itself to support a finding, unless such evidence would be admissible over objection in civil actions. The rules dealing with privileges shall be effective to the same extent that they are recognized in civil actions. Irrelevant or unduly repetitious evidence may be excluded. The appeal hearing officer shall determine the relevance, weight and credibility of testimony and evidence. 3) Exclusion of Witnesses: During the examination of a witness, all other witnesses, except the parties, shall be excluded from the hearing. 4) Burden of Proof: The City has the burden of proof of the charges by the preponderance of the evidence.
5) Authority of Hearing Officer: The appeal hearing officer shall not have the power to alter, amend, change, add to, or subtract from any of the terms of these Procedures.
Presentation of the Case:
The parties will address their remarks, evidence, and objections to the appeal hearing officer. The appeal hearing officer may terminate argument at any time
MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN
THE CITY OF COVINA AND AFSCME LOCAL 3325
Effective July 1, 2024
44 and issue a ruling regarding an objection or any other matter. The appeal hearing officer may limit redundant or irrelevant testimony, or directly question the witness. The hearing will proceed in the following order unless the appeal hearing officer directs otherwise:
1) The City is permitted to make an opening statement;
2) The employee is permitted to make an opening statement; 3) The City will produce its evidence;
4) The employee will produce his/her evidence;
5) The City, followed by the employee, may present rebuttal evidence; 6) The City is permitted to make a closing statement;
7) The employee is permitted to make a closing statement.
Written Briefs:
Either party may request to submit a written brief and/or a draft decision. The appeal hearing officer will determine whether to allow written briefs or draft decisions, the deadline for submitting briefs, and the page limit for briefs.
Appeal Hearing Officer’s Recommended Decision:
Within sixty (60) calendar days of the conclusion of the hearing, the appeal hearing officer shall make written findings and a recommended decision as to the discipline.
The City Manager shall review the findings and recommendations of the appeal hearing officer and may then affirm, revoke, or modify the findings, recommendations, or disciplinary action taken. The decision of the City Manager is final. There is no process for reconsideration.
Proof of Service of the Written Findings and Decision:
The City will mail a copy of the final written findings and decision, along with a proof of service of mailing that confirms that each of the parties and each of the parties’ representatives were mailed the final written findings and decision. It shall be the responsibility of the employee to inform the City of his/her current mailing address. A copy of the decision shall also be provided to the Human Resources Manager.
Pursuant to the Code of Civil Procedure sections 1094.5 and 1094.6, the parties have ninety (90) calendar days from the date of the proof of service of mailing of the written findings and decision to appeal the City’s decision on the appeal to the Superior Court in and for the County Los Angeles.

ARTICLE 29. LAYOFF PROCEDURE
29.1 SENIORITY
Seniority for the purposes of layoff and the establishment of reemployment lists shall be defined as an employee’s total cumulative time served in a regular permanent status within the classification and is in active status upon the effective date of the layoff. All seniority shall be lost in the event an employee is laid off for a period of more than two (2) years, or due to resignation, discharge, or retirement.
Employees on promotional probation are provided with layoff procedural rights as per this Agreement only if they have attained permanent regular status.
29.2 ORDER OF LAYOFF
Layoff within a classification of a regular permanent status employee shall be accomplished on a last appointed, first laid-off order basis and in the following order:
1. Contract/Temp Agency employee within the same job classification or performing similar work as other City employees who are laid off
2. Probationary Employee
3. Permanent Employee according to procedures set forth below Contract, temporary, provisional, part-time and limited term employees have no layoff protection.
29.3 PERMANENT EMPLOYEE ON PROMOTIONAL PROBATION

MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN
THE CITY OF COVINA AND AFSCME LOCAL 3325
Effective July 1, 2024
46 seniority will have priority to remain in the current classification if available or be returned to the position previously held.
29.4 PERMANENT EMPLOYEE OFF PROBATION
Employees who have completed their initial or promotional probationary period in a classification with a position(s) subject to layoff shall be listed in the order of their seniority. The employee with the lowest/least seniority shall be given the opportunity to transfer to a comparable vacant and budgeted position within the bargaining unit for which the employee is qualified. If such a vacancy does not exist, the employee shall be given the opportunity to exercise his/her seniority to be placed in any lower classification (within the bargaining unit) for which he/she is qualified (i.e. bumping), or to accept the lay-off.
Employees who are displaced by bumping will then be offered the opportunity to be transferred or be demoted in the same manner until there are no other transfer or demotion opportunities. When this occurs, the employee in the lowest level classification with the least amount of seniority will be subject to layoff.
29.5 REINSTATEMENT TO FORMER CLASSIFICATION
If a vacancy becomes available in a classification that was designated for layoff, the City will fill that position in the following manner:
1. All employees demoted or transferred in lieu of lay-off shall be reinstated to their former classification if there is a vacancy.
2. If the vacancy cannot be filled by an employee who demoted or transferred in lieu of layoff, then the City will re-hire from the Re-Employment List.
3. If the vacancy cannot be filled by an employee on the Re-Employment List, then the City will conduct an open recruitment to fill the vacancy.
29.6 RECALL LIST
All laid off permanent employees shall be placed in order of seniority on a recall list for two (2) years, and shall retain existing seniority rights for such period.
When a vacancy occurs for which a recall list exists, the City Manager shall certify from the top of such list the number of names equal to the number of vacancies to be filled, and the Department Head shall appoint such persons to fill the vacancies.
Anyone on a recall list may be re-employed in a position with a lower maximum rate of pay, provided the person possesses the minimum skills and qualifications for the position.
Notice of vacancy to an employee on a recall list shall be by the most expeditious means in order to fill the vacancy as soon as possible. As a last resort, notice shall be given by

ARTICLE 30. UNION DEDUCTIONS AND BUSINESS
30.1 UNION DUES
The American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, AFSCME Local 3325, affiliated with AFSCME District Council 36 is the formally recognized exclusive employee organization representing this unit. AFSCME will provide written notice (written notice may be provided electronically) to the City certifying that it has received authorization to have the regular dues of its members deducted from their paychecks.
Dues deductions begin at the beginning of the pay period following receipt of written notice to begin dues deductions. Dues deductions shall be for a specified amount. Dues deduction authorization may be canceled and the dues check-off payroll discontinued annually during the first week of July by the member upon a voluntary written notice to the Union.
Employee payroll deduction authorizations shall be in uniform amounts for dues deductions.
The employee’s earnings must be regularly sufficient after other legal and required deductions are made to cover the amount of the dues check-off authorized. When a member in good standing of the Union is in a non-pay status for an entire pay period, no dues withholding will be made to cover that pay period. If a member is in a non-pay status during only a part of the pay period and the salary is not sufficient to cover the full withholding, no deduction shall be made. For payroll purposes, all other legal and required deductions have priority over employee organization dues.
Dues withheld by the City shall be transmitted to the officer designated in writing by the Union as the person authorized to receive such funds, at the address specified.
AFSCME shall indemnify, defend, and hold the City of Covina harmless against any claims made and against any suit instituted against the City of Covina on account of check-off of
MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN

Such officers or representatives shall not enter any work location without the consent of the Department Head or the Human Resources Manager. Access shall be restricted so as not to interfere with the normal operations of the department or with established safety or security requirements.
Solicitation of membership and activities concerned with the internal management of an employee organization, such as collecting dues, holding membership meetings, campaigning for office, conducting elections and distributing literature, shall not be conducted during work hours. For purposes of this section only lunch breaks shall not be considered working hours.
30.3 USE OF CITY FACILITIES
The union may, with the prior approval of the Human Resources Manager, be granted the use of City facilities during non-work hours for meetings of employees represented by AFSCME under this MOU provided space is available, and provided further such meetings are not used for matters involved with political, religious, or commercial endeavors.
Violation of these conditions by the Union will be cause for revocation of the Union’s right to use such City facilities.
The City reserves the right to assess the Union for reimbursement of its direct expenses incurred for the Union’s use of such facilities.
The use of City equipment other than items normally used in the conduct of business meetings, such as tables and chairs, is strictly prohibited.
30.4 AVAILABILITY OF DATA
The City will make available to the Union such non-confidential information pertaining to employment relations as is permitted under the law.
Upon the Union’s request, the City agrees to provide the Union a list of dues-paying and AFSCME unit members.
Per Labor code section 1198.5, employees have access to their personnel files.

30.6 UNION RELEASE TIME
The City shall provide forty (40) hours of on-duty time beginning on January 2 of each calendar year to the Union President or Designee to conduct Union business.

The impasse procedures may include:
1. MEDIATION– Either party may request that the parties engage in mediation as the first step to resolve impasse. The efforts of an impartial third person, or persons, functioning as intermediaries, shall be used to assist the parties in reaching a voluntary resolution to an impasse, through interpretation, suggestion and advice.

DISTINGUISHING CHARACTERISTICS:

Initially under immediate supervision, and using predominately established formats, incumbents perform the more routine clerical and accounting support tasks assigned, which includes coordinating business license inquiries and other customer service duties while learning City policies and procedures. As experience is gained, there is greater independence of action within established guidelines.
This classification is alternatively staffed with Account Clerk II, and incumbents may advance to the higher level after gaining experience and demonstrating a level of proficiency that meets the qualifications of the higher level class.
Account Clerk II
The Account Clerk II is the journey level classification in the accounting support series in which incumbents are expected to perform the full scope of assigned duties. This class is distinguished from the “I” by the performance of the more complex tasks assigned, which depending on the area of assignment may include but not limited to accounts payable, accounts receivable, administrative parking dismissals, permit tracking and issuing, billing, and related accounting support duties with minimum supervision.
Assignments are characterized by the presence of fairly clear guidelines from which to make decisions and the availability of supervision when required.

Meeting: September 3, 2024
Title: A Lease Agreement between the City of Covina and Hang 10, LLC for Partial Use of 559 N. Citrus Avenue
Presented by: Brian K. Lee, AICP, Director of Community Development Recommendation: 1. Approve the Lease Between the City of Covina and Hang 10, LLC for Use of the Top Floor and Ramp of the Metrolink Parking Structure, Located at 559 North Citrus Avenue;
2. Approve Resolution CC 2024-83, Authorizing Amending the Fiscal Year 2024-2025 Operating Budget for the Purpose of Receiving and Expending $90,000 in Lease Proceeds Related to the Lease of 559 North Citrus Avenue (APN No. 8431-014-908).
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
On November 21, 2023, the City Council authorized the execution and delivery of a lease agreement between the City of Covina, as landlord, and WB COVINA-KI, LLC, as tenant, for property located at 602-626 South Citrus Avenue and 128 East Rowland Street, operating as a Kia car dealership. This lease became effective in July 2024.
On July 16, 2024, the City Council approved the assignment of the Lease to Hang 10, LLC as the new tenant pursuant to their purchase of the dealership. Hang 10, LLC (“Kia”) has since approached the City requesting assistance in leasing additional space in order to store surplus cars that are available for sale and which do not fit on their main dealership site. The City’s Community Development Department in conjunction with the Public Works Department have identified available, under-utilized space within the City’s Metrolink Parking Structure (“Parking Structure”) located at 559 N. Citrus Avenue. Hang 10, LLC as the Tenant and the City of Covina as the Landlord now wish to enter into a Lease Agreement (“Lease”) to authorize Kia’s exclusive use of a portion of the Parking Structure for the purpose of parking the surplus cars.
DISCUSSION:
Hang 10, LLC has recently become the new owner of the Kia car dealership located at 602-626 South Citrus Avenue and 128 East Rowland Street and leases the land from the City of Covina. To help facilitate additional car sales, Kia needs to have cars in stock with various colorways and at different price points. Kia has stated that sales from customers can be lost to dealerships outside of the City when the specific make, model, and color of the car are not available for the customer’s immediate viewing and purchase. The proposed Lease would allow Kia to park their surplus vehicles on the top floor of the Parking Structure and the ramp which leads up to it and would allow them to “double park” cars to maximize the space. The short distance from the Parking Structure to the dealership site is ideal for Kia’s desire to have as many cars in-stock as possible to attract and retain customers and to complete sales within the City. Kia will drive the cars individually in and out of the leased area of the Parking Structure and will not deliver cars to the structure in-mass on a flatbed truck or similar.
As currently structured, the Lease’s key points are as follows:
City will install fencing blocking access to the leased area and Kia will be responsible for paying for the improvements;
Two-year Lease;
Tenant will pay the City $90,000 annually for exclusive use of the fourth floor and ramp to the fourth floor;
Tenant can only use structure to park cars and cannot use the Lease area for any other purpose.
If approved, the Lease will commence on October 1, 2024 following the installation of security fencing and would encumber 165 parking stalls. This action will not impact those parking on any of the three other floors of the Parking Structure and will not impact current levels of service for those using the structure, as ample space is available. Approval of Resolution CC 2024-83 will amend Prop A - Transportation accounts to budget for the additional revenues and expenditures expected from the Lease.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The proposed Lease has no impact on the City’s General Fund. The Tenant will reimburse the City for all costs incurred for securing the Lease area and will pay $90,000 annually for the Lease. Revenues will be deposited into account number 2400-4300-43600-FRIC and future expenditures will be spent out of account number 2400-4350- 53743-FRIC.

No act by Landlord other than giving notice to Tenant shall terminate this Lease.
