The auditor reviews City polices and meeting minutes, interviews staff, gathers information from City documents and outside sources and the audit is completed by the end of December. Finance Director went over the five major operating funds in detail: General Fund, Housing Authority Fund, RV Park Fund, Sewer Fund, and Water Fund plus an analysis of Citywide wages and benefits.

For the Sewer Fund, total revenue is under budget, expenses were under budget, but the majority of that was from the grant for the WWTP project. The current FY 25-26 budget would decrease the working capital; therefore, we are looking at a sewer rate study. For the Water Fund, the revenue and expenses are under.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
TO: MAYOR WRIGHT AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: ERIC WIER, CITY MANAGER
BY: LINDA LEAVER, FINANCE DIRECTOR
DATE: FEBRUARY 17, 2026
SUBJECT: BUDGET-TO-ACTUAL SUMMARY AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2025 ______________________________________________________________________
RECOMMENDATION
• Receive and file budget-to-actual summary of the City’s major operating funds for Fiscal Year 2025-26 as of December 31, 2025
BACKGROUND
In order to provide timely information to the City Council and to the public, the City’s Finance Department has prepared the attached budget-to-actual reports. These reports provide a summary as of December 31, 2025 of the fiscal year-to-date revenues and expenses of the City’s major operating funds: General Fund, Housing Authority Fund, RV Park Fund, Sewer Fund and Water Fund.
ITEM ANALYSIS
As of December 31, 2025, we are 50% through the fiscal year, with 50% of the year remaining. It can be helpful to review the percentage of budgeted revenues received and budgeted expenses incurred to date and to compare those percentages to the calendar date. However, revenues and expenditures are not always even throughout the year for many reasons. Many revenues are not received evenly throughout the year (particularly tax revenues and grant reimbursements), most expenses are not recorded until the invoice is received in the following month, and budgets may include large projects that have not yet been completed.
This report provides a brief summary of the actual revenues and expenditures for the year to date; additional information is provided in the budget-to-actual reports attached.
BUDGET TO ACTUAL SUMMARY AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2025
FEBRUARY 17, 2026
2 • General Fund
In the General Fund, 39% of budgeted revenues have been received with 61% remaining, and 39% of budgeted expenditures have been incurred with 61% remaining. Many General Fund revenues are received unevenly through the year (sales tax and Measure S are received two months in arrears, TOT and interest are received quarterly, and various property taxes are received in December, January, April, and May).
• Housing Authority Fund
The Housing Authority is funded by monthly disbursements from the federal government, and the monthly housing assistance payments make up the majority of the expenditure budget. Therefore, actual revenues and expenditures usually align closely with how far we are through the fiscal year. At this point, 50% of budgeted revenues have been received with 50% remaining, and 49% of budgeted expenditures have been incurred with 51% remaining.
• RV Park Fund
The RV Park earns revenue primarily from space rents, which are highly seasonal.
As of December 31, 66% of the budgeted revenue has been received with 34% remaining. At this point in the year, 45% of budgeted operating expenses have been incurred with 55% of the budget remaining.
• Sewer Fund
The Sewer Fund earns revenue primarily from monthly charges to the users of its services. As of December 31, the primary revenue source (monthly service) is on track with 51% of the budgeted received with 49% remaining. Of total revenues, 50% of the overall budget has been received with 50% remaining. Of the budgeted operating expenses, 41% has been spent with 59% remaining. • Water Fund
The Water Fund earns revenue primarily from monthly charges for service. As of December 31, the primary revenue source (monthly service) is on track with 51% of the budgeted received with 49% remaining. Of total revenues, 55% of the overall budget has been received with 45% remaining. Of the budgeted operating expenses, 41% has been spent with 59% remaining.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
TO: MAYOR WRIGHT AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: ERIC WIER, CITY MANAGER
BY: LINDA LEAVER, FINANCE DIRECTOR
DATE: FEBRUARY 17, 2026
SUBJECT: QUARTERLY CASH AND INVESTMENTS REPORT AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2025
______________________________________________________________________
RECOMMENDATION
• Receive and file quarterly cash and investments report as of December 31, 2025
BACKGROUND
California Government Code Section 53600 requires timely reporting of local agency investment transactions and portfolio to the agency’s legislative body. The Government Finance Officers Association’s (GFOA) best practice recommendation is for local agencies to periodically report cash and investments to the governing body.
ITEM ANALYSIS
Below is a summary of the City’s cash and investments as of December 31, 2025 (general ledger balances). These totals do not include fiduciary funds that are held by other entities (e.g. trust account held by PARS for the City’s OPEB liability).
Quarterly Cash and Investments Report Dec 2025
February 17, 2026
2 • Cash
o Petty Cash
The City maintains petty cash in various departments for change drawers and incidental purchases.
o Bank Accounts
Amounts listed are general ledger amounts and reflect activity through December 31, 2025. These amounts include checks that have been written but not yet presented to the bank (outstanding checks) and deposits that have been made but not yet recorded by the bank (deposits in transit). The general ledger balance reflects the City’s balances more accurately than the bank statements of the same date. Transactions are recorded by finance staff during various reconciliation processes which may not all be complete as of the writing of this report. ▪ US Bank Main – This is the City’s checking account. All cash receipts and accounts payable are processed through this account. Balances fluctuate based on activity and cash flow needs. When funds accumulate that are not immediately
needed for cash flow, they are transferred to LAIF. When Account Balance

3 additional funds are required to meet immediate needs, they are transferred from LAIF into the main checking account.
▪ US Bank Payroll – This is a Zero Balance Account (ZBA). When payroll expenditures (direct deposits, checks, and wire transfers) are presented to the bank, the amount of the expenditure is automatically transferred from the main checking account into the payroll account.
▪ US Bank Savings (CDBG Program Income) – The California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD),
which administers our Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) strongly suggests using a separate, interest-bearing bank account for Program Income. Interest earned on Program Income is also qualified as Program Income.
▪ US Bank Grant Advance (Clean California) – This account is for the receipt of grant advance funds for the Clean California grant project (Cultural Gateway and Beautification Project) and will be spent as the project progresses.
▪ US Bank Housing Authority – This account is used to receive funding from the Federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Housing Assistance Payments are made from this account. The amount allowed by HUD for
administrative costs is periodically transferred into the City’s main checking account and allocated for costs within the Housing Authority Fund.
▪ US Bank Sewer Fund Capital Reserve – This account was required under the terms of the State Revolving Fund loan. Over a period of 10 years, the City was required to set aside $2,187,700 as a capital reserve. The balance in this account represents the first three years’ contributions plus interest. In October 2017, the City successfully negotiated a contract amendment to the SRF loan, removing the Capital Reserve Requirement. The majority of funds previously held in this account were transferred to the Sewer Fund for an authorized project. The remaining balance is held until needed for a project. ▪ US Bank Water Fund Debt Service Reserve – This account was required under the terms of the Safe Drinking Water loan. The funds would only be available to make the debt service payment should the Water Fund be unable to make payments from its operating account. The final loan payment was made last fiscal year and the funds are now available. However, as the Water Quarterly Cash and Investments Report Dec 2025
February 17, 2026
4 Fund may be pursuing debt financing for upcoming projects, a debt service reserve fund is likely to be required again and these funds have been left in the reserve fund for now. o Pooled Cash
With the exception of restricted bank accounts (US Bank Savings, US Bank Housing Authority, and US Bank Grant Advance), the City’s cash and investment resources are pooled. The pooling of cash and investments provides several advantages, including better physical custody and control, enhanced investment opportunities, and ease of operations. It also simplifies custody, collection, and disbursements.
It is important to note that the City’s pooled resources include fiduciary, grant, and capital project funds as well as the City’s major operating funds (but not restricted funds). The cash and investment totals represent balances as of a specific date and do not necessarily represent amounts available for future appropriations.
The use of pooled cash allows the City to cover negative cash balances in certain funds internally, rather than borrowing from an external source.
Certain funds – particularly when grant-funded – experience a negative cash balance due to the timing of expenditures and the delay in reimbursement. Instead of using external borrowing to cover these timing issues, the City’s pooled cash covers the negative fund(s) until reimbursed. Typically, the General Fund covers the negative funds.
However, when the negative funds are for large amounts (for example, large CIP projects), the General Fund alone may not have sufficient cash flow to cover the entire negative balance. Per the City’s Debt Policy, shortterm cash flow needs may be covered by one of the enterprise funds if necessary, and interest would be paid to the enterprise fund in that case. • Investments
o Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF)
The City is a voluntary participant in the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) that is regulated by California Government Code Section 16429 and managed by the Treasurer of the State of California. Cash is pooled with cash from local agencies state-wide and invested. Each agency has its own account within the pool. Each participating agency has a maximum account limit of $75 million, with no minimum balance, and is permitted to make up to 15 transactions per month. Investments in LAIF are available upon demand, although 24-hour notice is required for withdrawals of $10 million or more. More information about LAIF can be found at their website: http://www.treasurer.ca.gov/pmialaif/laif.asp. o Current Investment Portfolio
Quarterly Cash and Investments Report Dec 2025
February 17, 2026
5 The City’s investment portfolio is 100% in LAIF. City staff reviewed this policy with its financial advisor in 2022 and determined the balances invested (less amounts already appropriated for capital improvement projects and other budgeted items) would not warrant the investment fees and administrative overhead required to invest in other vehicles.
o Individual Transactions During Quarter
These transactions represent the City’s cash flowing between the checking account and LAIF investment account as cash is needed to fund budgeted items.
o Individual Securities Held
None.
o Realized and Unrealized Gains/Losses and Market Value Although the City does not hold any securities with a maturity over one year, the City does record a Fair Market Value (FMV) adjustment for its investment in LAIF, consistent with GASB 72. This GASB requirement is to provide transparency for the market value fluctuations in investments that are intended to be sold.
Although the City does not sell or intend to sell its investments (which are currently 100% in LAIF) and therefore does not have risk of market losses, we are required to periodically calculate the value of our investments if they were to be sold on a particular date and report that fair market value. The FMV adjustment is calculated quarterly, and the adjustment as of December 31, 2025 was an unrealized gain of $41,248. There is no actual (realized) gain or loss because the investments were not sold. The City receives actual interest earnings from LAIF each quarter.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
TO: MAYOR WRIGHT AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: ERIC WIER, CITY MANAGER
BY: MARTHA D. RICE, CITY ATTORNEY
DATE: FEBRUARY 17, 2026
SUBJECT: AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO PLHA / PIP LOAN AGREEMENT – PROJECT
DESCRIPTION
______________________________________________________________________
RECOMMENDATION
• Hear staff report
• Technical questions from the Council
• Receive public comment
• Further Council discussion
• Approve and authorize the City Manager to sign Amendment No. 1 to the PLHA / PIP Loan Agreement between the City of Crescent City and Community System Solutions
BACKGROUND
In September 2017, the California Legislature approved Senate Bill 2 (SB 2), known as the Building Homes and Jobs Act (Act), which established a $75 recording fee on real estate documents that would go into a fund to be used to increase the supply of affordable housing. The Act establishes the Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) program administered by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). The PLHA provides a permanent source of funding to cities and counties to help meet the unmet need for affordable housing and increase the supply of affordable housing units. On February 20, 2024, council directed staff to submit an application for funding and on July 1, 2024, the City was awarded $344,198 in PLHA funding. There is another $56,111 expected to be available once the 2023 allocation is released.
With the 2019-2020 Budget Act, HCD was also able to provide a spectrum of support, incentives, and accountability measures to meet California’s housing goals, including the establishment of the Prohousing Designation Program. The Prohousing Designation Program provides incentives to cities and counties in the form of additional points or other preference in the scoring of competitive housing, community development, and infrastructure programs.
PLHA / PIP LOAN AGREEMENT AMENDMENT NO. 1
FEBRUARY 17, 2026
2 On March 1, 2024, the City received its designation as a Prohousing Jurisdiction from HCD. HCD offers a Prohousing Incentive Program (PIP), which rewards local governments who have been awarded a Prohousing Designation with additional funding to accelerate affordable housing production and preservation through a competitive application process. On July 8, 2024, the City was awarded $650,000 in PIP funding.
City staff combined both grants, and pending application for the 2023 allocation, to make a total amount of up to $1,050,309 in HCD funding available for the creation of a minimum of 4 units of affordable housing. Funds can be used for the predevelopment, development, acquisition, rehabilitation, and preservation of multifamily, residential live-work, or rental housing that is affordable to very low-, low-, or moderate-income households and general administration.
On October 2, 2025, City staff released an RFP for this project and received a total of four proposals. The proposals received for the PLHA/PIP Affordable Housing Project were all very promising projects and would have met the requirements of the grant, yet there was the Redwood Downtown projected presented by Community System Solutions stood out with significantly more potential for community impact than the others. The project was described to create 27 low- to moderate-income high-quality apartments on the lot where the former Daly's building is located on Third and J Streets. It will also include street-level retail space. City staff saw this project as a perfect complement to the City's downtown revitalization goals, with the potential not only to provide more housing stock, but also to help generate more foot traffic for the downtown business district. The project will be a mixed-use, infill housing development, which also aligns with the goals of the City's Housing Element.
The City's adopted PLHA Plan for 2020-2023 funding allocations has established that allocated funds will be provided to eligible affordable housing developers in the form of a ten-year deferred loan at 0% interest. Loans will be evidenced through a Promissory Note secured by a Deed of Trust, and a regulatory agreement restricting occupancy and rents for a term of 55 years. At the request of the applicant, the loan may be made forgivable at the end of the 10 years if the affordable housing requirements have been met.
On December 1, 2025, the City Council approved the PLHA / PIP Loan Agreement with Community System Solutions in the amount of $1,032,371.43 for the Redwood Downtown housing project. This is the total award amount, plus the pending PLHA application, minus the general admin budget set aside for City staff to administer this grant and oversee the project.
ANALYSIS
The developer, Community System Solutions, has submitted a revised building plan which alters the total number of units and unit mix for the project. The PLHA / PIP Loan Agreement includes a general project description and states that any changes to the general description must be approved by the City. Such approval must not be unreasonably withheld.
PLHA / PIP LOAN AGREEMENT AMENDMENT NO. 1
FEBRUARY 17, 2026
3 The original project description included a mix of one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments, for a total of 27 units. The revised project description includes a mix of studio, one-, and two-bedroom apartments, for a total of 36 units. In addition, the date for the developer to submit reimbursement requests to the City has been pushed back from February 27th to March 25th to allow Developer more time to expend the almost $650,000, which is reimbursable from the PIP funded portion of the loan.
AFFORDABLE HOUSING
The PLHA / PIP Loan Agreement requires that only 4 of the units remain affordable for households earning up to 120% AMI for a period of 55 years (moderate income level).
The project plan, however, is that the entirety of the residential units will be affordable with 80% of the units designated for low-income households and 20% of the units designated for moderate income households. Household income designations are created in reference to the area median income (AMI). The Del Norte County AMI is $93,900 for a 4-person household (as determined by HCD). This number is then adjusted based upon how many people are in the household. Low-income households are defined as households earning less than 80% of the annual AMI. Moderate-income households are defined as households earning less than 120% of the annual AMI.
Maximum Allowable Annual Income by Household Size
Income
Level
% AMI 1 person 2 persons 3 persons 4 persons
LowIncome <80% $52,600 $60,100 $67,600 $75,100
ModerateIncome<120% $78,900 $90,150 $101,450 $112,700
The State also sets “affordability” guidelines. Rent is based upon the household’s annual income so that it is affordable for the tenant. Typically, rent can be no more than 30% of the household annual income (divided by 12). For perspective, the maximum rent for a low-income household would be $986.25 for a one-person household and up to $1,408.50 for a four-person household. The maximum rent for a moderate-income household would be $1,808.13 for a one-person household and $2,582.25 for a four-person household.
FISCAL ANALYSIS
This amendment to the project description will not impact on the City’s budget or the PLHA / PIP grant funds to be provided to support the project.
STRATEGIC PLAN ANALYSIS
This action is consistent with the following 2016 Strategic Plan Goals:
• Goal 1: Support quality services, community safety, and health to enhance the quality of life and experience of our residents and visitors.
PLHA / PIP LOAN AGREEMENT AMENDMENT NO. 1

ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CRESCENT CITY AMENDING CHAPTER 17.39, SIGNS, OF TITLE 17, ZONING, OF THE
CRESCENT CITY MUNICIPAL CODE
BACKGROUND
On October 16, 2025, the Planning Commission held a public hearing and subsequently adopted Resolution No. PC2025-11, recommending updates to Chapter 17.39, Signs, of the municipal code.
The Planning Commission’s recommendations include:

3. Adds regulations for “digital signs”
➢ Digital signs may contain static messages only. Signs may not display text which flashes, pulsates, moves or scrolls. Each complete message must fit on one screen.
➢ Digital signs may not change message more than once every 15 seconds. ➢ The content of a digital sign must transition by changing instantly (e.g., no fade-out or fade-in).
SIGNS REGULATIONS UPDATE
February 17, 2026
2 ➢ Any digital signs within 100 feet from HWY 101 must obtain any and all permits from Caltrans.
4. Adds regulations for “off-site advertising”
➢ No off-site advertising sign may be erected, constructed, or maintained in excess of 100 square feet of display surface, in accordance with the allowable sign area regulations of this chapter.
➢ Off-site advertising is only allowed in the C-2 Zone and must meet all applicable Caltrans requirements and regulations.
➢ Each business is limited to two off-site advertising signs within the city limits. ➢ Off-site advertising sign area counts toward the allowable sign area for both the business being advertised and the business hosting the off-site advertising sign.
5. Adds regulations regarding “illumination” (brightness) ➢ During daylight hours between sunrise and sunset, luminance is limited to 10,000 nits.
➢ At all other times, luminance is limited to 160 nits. ➢ Digital signs may produce no more than 0.3 foot-candle of light when measured from the distance using the following formula: Measurement Distance= (Area of Sign Sq. Ft. × 100)
➢ Each sign must have a light sensing device that will automatically adjust the brightness of the display as the natural ambient light conditions change.
6. Removes references to coastal zones, the regulations for which are governed by Chapter 17.74, Coastal Zone Signs.
On November 17, 2025, the City Council discussed the Planning Commission’s recommendations for updates to the City’s sign regulations. Present at the meeting were Council Member Altman, Mayor Pro Tem Tinkler and Mayor Wright. Council Member Greenough was absent and there was one vacancy. At that meeting, the City Council discussed the Planning Commission recommendation, expressed concerns regarding community aesthetics and traffic safety, and directed that the following changes to the recommendation be brought back to the Council:
• Limit the number of digital signs to 2 total signs within the City • Limit digital signs to 32 square feet in size
• No offsite advertising allowed within the City (regardless of sign type)

BACKGROUND
Compensation Study
As part of the 2023-2025 MOU negotiations the City Council agreed to consider commissioning a compensation study in preparation for the next round of labor negotiations. This expense was subsequently budgeted and following a competitive solicitation for proposals, the City Council selected and engaged Evergreen Consulting.
This selection came at the recommendation of both City staff and employee association representatives. Over several months, Evergreen Consulting worked with City administrative staff as well as employees to gather information, analyze comparable agencies and competitor agencies, and provide wage recommendations based upon the 50th percentile (median). The compensation study presents the results of that study.
Collective Bargaining Agreements
The current memorandums of understanding between the City and the City’s employee bargain groups expired June 30, 2025. The City’s negotiating team made up of City Manager Eric Wier, City Attorney Martha Rice, Finance Director Linda Leaver, and HR Manager Sara Barbour, has met with association representatives on several occasions and exchanged information, proposals, and counterproposals. The parties have reached tentative agreements presented to the City Council for approval by way of resolution for all groups.
Confidential employees – Human Resources
The City currently has one Human Resources employee, the HR Manager, who is not represented by an association because the position is an integral part of labor negotiations. Therefore, the HR positions wages, terms and working conditions are contained within a stand-alone resolution. An updated resolution is presented for Council approval.
Contract Employees
The City has 8 employees whose wages, terms and working conditions are governed by individual contracts. These positions are the City Manager, City Attorney, Chief of Police, Fire Chief, Public Works Director, Finance Director, Recreation Director / Events
UPDATES TO EMPLOYEE WAGES, TERMS & WORKING CONDITIONS
FEBRUARY 17, 2026
3 Coordinator, and Housing Authority Director. Updates to compensation are made by resolution. A resolution updating the compensation for contract employees consistent with the compensation plan is presented for Council approval.
ANALYSIS
Compensation Study
The full Compensation and Classification Study Report is included as an attachment. This study was done in consultation and coordination with the City’s employees, who spoke and responded directly to the consultant team. Each employee was provided a JAT survey (Job Assessment Tool ©), which was analyzed and compared to the current classification descriptions. The JAT included questions regarding 5 compensable factors – Management, Processes, Resources, Technology, Errors and Risk, Knowledge and Experience. Each JAT was scored and the results were used to develop a rank order of classes within the proposed compensation structure.
Comparable and competitor agencies were surveyed for both wages and benefits for matching job classifications. Evergreen surveyed a total of 24 agencies, which are listed on Page 4-2 of the report. The salaries for the surveyed agencies were adjusted according to a cost-of-living index to adjust for variations in economic conditions. This is explained on Pages 4-2 and 4-3 of the report. Exhibit 4C contains the Market Survey Results (Page 4-4). The results show that on average, the City is compensating employees roughly 4.7% below the market median at the top of the pay range. The result per classification varies, however, from 30.7% below the market median to 13% above the market median.
Compensation Study Analysis and Plan
The cost to the City to move all positions to the 50th percentile (market median) would cost the City approximately $870,000 in FY 25-26, assuming full staffing. Each year thereafter would be this amount plus a cost of living adjustment. Unfortunately, bringing all classifications to the market median is not feasible given the City’s budget.
City staff worked to create a compensation structure that would take into account the compensation structure recommendations, external market results, internal pay equity, and the City’s budget. The result of this effort is a salary schedule that utilizes standardized grade and step ranges for all city classifications. The new structure includes grades separated by 2.5% and steps separated by 5%,for most grades. Grades are assigned to each classification. Steps are increases that an individual in a particular classification moves through over time in accordance with performance criteria. For most classifications, the new salary schedule adds a Step 6 (previously all salary schedules were Step 1 through Step 5) with specific criteria that must be met for the employee to attain Step 6. The new compensation schedule is included as an attachment after the compensation study report.
Bargaining Unit Specific Changes
Various clarifications and updates based upon changes in state law were made to all memorandums. In addition, some of the associations negotiated changes specific to their
UPDATES TO EMPLOYEE WAGES, TERMS & WORKING CONDITIONS
FEBRUARY 17, 2026
4 group’s members. All of these clarifications, changes, and negotiated terms are included in the memorandums presented for approval.
FISCAL ANALYSIS
The FY 25-26 budget impact for full implementation with all positions filled is estimated to be $423,170 allocated to the various funds as follows:
Fund
Revenue Increase
(Decrease)
Expense/Expenditure
Increase (Decrease)
General Fund 279,292
Housing Authority Fund 16,305
RV Park Fund 7,831
Sewer Fund 48,248
Water Fund 51,768
IT Fund 11,350
Building Maint Fund 5,000
Equipment Fund 3,376
The attached budget resolution authorizes these amounts for transparency. However, the actual amounts expended this year will be less due to unfilled positions. City staff is currently working on the mid-year budget update, which will take into account the unfilled positions for the first half of this fiscal year. The midyear budget update will be brought to the Council at an upcoming meeting.
The memorandums of understanding include a 1-3% cost of living adjustment for year two (FY 26-27). The estimated budget increases due to the COLA in year two (assuming all positions are filled for the full year) would be between $67,498 and $202,495 allocated to the various funds as follows:
Fund
Year 2 Estimated Increase
(1% COLA)
Year 2 Estimated Increase
(3% COLA)
General Fund 39,337 118,012
Housing Authority Fund 3,966 11,897
RV Park Fund 1,688 5,065
Sewer Fund 8,446 25,337
Water Fund 9,290 27,871
IT Fund 2,441 7,323

Equipment Fund 1,347 4,040

01 INTRODUCTION
EVERGREEN SOLUTIONS, LLC PAGE 1 - 1
The City’s ability to deliver effective and reliable services is directly dependent on its capacity to attract, retain, and support a skilled and engaged workforce. Compensation, classification, and benefits structures form the foundation of this effort, influencing recruitment and retention outcomes, internal equity, employee morale, and long-term organizational sustainability. As labor markets continue to evolve and competition for qualified employees intensifies, periodic evaluation of these systems is essential to ensure alignment with best practices and market conditions.
In keeping with this commitment, the leadership of the City of Crescent City, CA (“the City”) determined that its existing compensation and classification systems and structures should be reviewed and updated. Evergreen Solutions, LLC (“Evergreen”) was selected by the City in August 2024 to conduct a comprehensive compensation, classification, and benefits study. The purpose of this engagement was to evaluate the strengths and limitations of the City’s current systems, assess internal equity through a job and pay grade analysis, analyze external equity through a peer market salary survey, and develop recommendations to better align compensation practices with the labor market.
Internal equity refers to the fairness of compensation relationships among the City’s employees and is evaluated by examining the relative skills, responsibilities, and duties associated with each position.
External equity reflects how the City’s classifications and pay practices compare to compensation offered by other local government organizations with similar positions, service offerings, and labor market characteristics. Together, these analyses provide a framework for understanding how effectively the City’s current practices support equitable treatment of employees and competitive positioning in the marketplace.
The findings and recommendations presented in this report are intended to provide City leadership with a clear, data-driven foundation for decision-making. Evergreen created a range of options for the City’s consideration. Then, Evergreen and the City worked together to select an option that made sense to bring forward to negotiations based on the City’s available resources. This option was designed to improve structural alignment, enhance market competitiveness, and support consistent and equitable compensation practices, while maintaining flexibility to account for fiscal considerations and evolving workforce needs.
1.1 STUDY METHODOLOGY
Evergreen Solutions combines qualitative and quantitative data analysis to produce recommendations that maximize the fairness and competitiveness of an organization’s compensation structure and practices. It is important to note that the data utilized in the study represents a snapshot in time. As market conditions can change rapidly, it is important for the City to conduct regular market surveys to ensure its external market position does not decay. A full compensation and classification review is recommended approximately every three to five years. Some examples of project activities included:
Some examples of project activities included:
• Conducting a project kick-off meeting
• Presenting orientation sessions to employees
• Facilitating focus group sessions with employees
• Conducting an external market salary survey
01 INTRODUCTION
01 INTRODUCTION | CITY OF CRESCENT CITY, CA
EVERGREEN SOLUTIONS, LLC PAGE 1 - 2
• Conducting an external market benefits survey
• Comparing the City’s benefit offerings to those in the market • Developing recommendations for compensation management • Revising classification descriptions based on employee Job Assessment Tool (“JAT”) feedback • Developing recommendations for compensation and classification changes • Creating draft and final reports
Kickoff Meeting
The kickoff meeting provided an opportunity to discuss the history of the City, finalize the work plan, and begin the data collection process. Data collection included the gathering of relevant background material, including existing pay plans, organization charts, policies, procedures, training materials, classification specifications, and other pertinent material.
Employee Outreach
Through the orientation sessions, Evergreen consultants briefed employees on the purpose and major processes of the study. This process addressed employee questions in an effort to resolve misconceptions about the study and related tasks, and explained the importance of employee participation in the JAT process.
In addition, employees participated in focus group sessions designed to gather input from their varied perspectives as to the strengths and weaknesses of the current system. Feedback received from employees in this context was helpful in highlighting aspects of the organization that needed particular attention and consideration. This information provided some basic perceptional background, as well as a starting point for the research process.
Job Assessment Tool© (“JAT”) Classification Analysis
Employees were asked to complete individual JAT surveys, where they shared information pertaining to their work in their own words. These JATs were analyzed and compared to the current classification descriptions, and classifications were individually scored based on employee responses to five compensable factor questions. Each of the compensable factors—Management, Processes, Resources, Technology, Errors and Risks, and Knowledge and Experience—was given a weighted value based on the employee’s responses, resulting in a point factor score for each classification. The rank order of classes by JAT scores was used to develop a rank order of classes within the proposed compensation structure. Combined with market data, this information formed the foundation of the combined recommendations. The nature of each compensable factor is described below:
• Management – outlines leadership roles, from supervised tasks to independent work, team supervision, and overseeing departments or operations across multiple areas. • Processes – relates to operational actions, from performing tasks to managing processes within departments or across the entire organization.
• Resources – defines resource responsibilities, from using and monitoring resources to managing budgeting, compliance, and allocation across the organization. • Technology – describes the application of technology in performing duties, from using basic tools and software to managing complex systems, setting guidelines, and overseeing long-term projects.
01 INTRODUCTION | CITY OF CRESCENT CITY, CA
EVERGREEN SOLUTIONS, LLC PAGE 1 - 3
• Errors and Risks – identifies the types of errors and risks associated with different roles, ranging from minimal impact to those that could result in significant physical, financial, or legal consequences.
• Knowledge and Experience - indicates the knowledge and experience required for various roles, ranging from basic tasks with on-the-job training to advanced education and strategic planning expertise.
Market Survey
The external market for this study was defined as selected local government organizations with comparable positions, characteristics, demographics, and service offerings. All City positions were included in the survey; however, not every position had a direct match within the identified peer organizations. The data were analyzed by comparing City classifications to positions performing similar duties within the market in order to develop a comprehensive understanding of the City’s competitive position.
Recommendations
Evergreen developed a range of recommendations for the City’s consideration to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the current compensation and classification structure. These recommendations reflect varying levels of investment and scope, ranging from targeted adjustments to the existing system to comprehensive changes affecting the broader organizational structure. Each option was intended to address the issues identified in this report while building upon the strengths currently demonstrated by the City.
1.2 REPORT ORGANIZATION
This report includes the following additional chapters:
• Chapter 2 – Summary of Employee Outreach
• Chapter 3 – Assessment of Current Conditions
• Chapter 4 – Market Summary
• Chapter 5 – Recommendations
Chapter 2 – Summary of Outreach
Employee outreach was conducted by two Evergreen consultants over a two-day period. During this time, meetings were held with City employees to explain the study process and address questions regarding the project. Focus groups were facilitated to gather employee input, which provided valuable qualitative information to inform subsequent analysis. Participants shared perspectives on classifications perceived as outdated, below market, or experiencing recruitment and retention challenges.
Employees also identified organizations viewed as the City’s primary competitors in the labor market and highlighted positive aspects of employment with the City. Employee feedback was used as an initial reference point for data collection; however, all information relied upon in this study was independently validated by Evergreen. A full summary of the outreach can be found in Chapter 2 of this report.
01 INTRODUCTION | CITY OF CRESCENT CITY, CA
EVERGREEN SOLUTIONS, LLC PAGE 1 - 4
Chapter 3 - Assessment of Current Conditions
An assessment of current conditions was conducted to evaluate the City’s existing pay plans, workforce demographics, and compensation structures. This assessment represents a snapshot in time and reflects conditions as they existed at the outset of the study. The information obtained was used to identify strengths and limitations within the current compensation system. When combined with the market analysis, the Assessment of Current Conditions provided a foundational basis for the development of recommendations. A full summary of the Assessment of Current Conditions can be found in Chapter 3 of this report.
Chapter 4 - Market Summary
A market survey and the associated external target organizations were developed by Evergreen and approved by the City’s administrative team in consultation with employee bargaining groups. Data were collected on both salaries and benefits to support a comprehensive total compensation analysis for all classifications. Upon receipt, the data were analyzed to assess the City’s compensation relative to the overall market. When considered in conjunction with the Assessment of Current Conditions, the market survey provided the basis for evaluating the City’s position within its labor market. A full summary of the market results can be found in Chapter 4 of this report.
Chapter 5 – Recommendations
During the recommendations phase, multiple solution options were developed based on the City’s current position relative to the market. These options ranged from targeted adjustments requiring minimal modifications to the existing compensation and classification systems to more comprehensive structural changes. The recommended approaches were designed to both leverage elements of the current compensation framework and enhance the City’s ability to recruit and retain employees in highly competitive classifications. A detailed discussion of the recommendation process and the City’s selected option is provided in Chapter 5 of this report.

These elements are as important to highlight as compensation, which, while a principal factor, is often not the sole determinant for where employees wish to work. The responses varied, with two of the most common answers being the City’s location and the inherent stability of working for a local government organization. Additional comments expressed by employees include:
• Camaraderie – one of the frequent responses on positive aspects of employment between groups was the family-like environment and appreciation for those working around them. • Flexibility – across employee groups, the steady, year-round work was viewed as a “significant positive” especially compared to a community that was described as limited in the opportunities for employment.
• Benefits – regular mention of the health insurance contributions and retirement plan demonstrated the attractive aspects of the City’s offerings outside of compensation.
Overall, personnel revealed that the City is a comfortable and flexible place to work with several distinct advantages in place for employees. However, there was a perception that the City should investigate health insurance contributions for retirees and staffing capacity compared to workload and expectations. While Evergreen Solutions receives this input frequently while conducting these types of studies, this belief was expressed by employees in many of the outreach sessions and was a predominant theme.

2.2 COMPENSATION AND CLASSIFICATION
Focus group participants contributed the following concerns related to the classification and compensation structure and associated pay practices:
• External Equity – All groups expressed prominent concern that current salaries could lag similar roles in neighboring communities.
• Internal Equity – Employees expressed several concerns or requests regarding internal equity.
Common themes involved:
- “Compaction”; the issue described as compaction between many groups aligns with a common element that can be experienced in pay plans known as compression in rank, where one’s salary or range overlaps too broadly with positions above or below theirs, - Overburdening of the workforce due to staffing shortages. Specific areas between public safety and administrative divisions provided descriptions in alignment with this perception, - Employees across several departments highlighted discrepancies between job descriptions and actual duties,
- Parity between pay and the depth of responsibility.
• Raises – Overall, considering the dynamic economic environment, employees at all levels through several groups suggested a defined establishment of cost-of-living adjustments as the city continues to move forward.
2.3 MARKET PEERS
Outreach participants were asked to name organizations they considered to be market peers competing for employees performing similar work. Employees continually mentioned the surrounding counties and cities, but felt a fairer assessment could also include state agencies that might possess nearby offices.
2.4 SUMMARY
According to many groups, their top concerns are livable wages, consistent and intuitive pay structures, economically viable cost-of-living adjustments, and unsustainable workloads given the current workforce capacity.
Additionally, critical positions (as determined by City employees) include entry-level administrative or clerical employees, entry-level public safety roles, skilled trades roles, and public works/utility support roles.
The concerns expressed and reported above are consistent with many organizations today, despite the unique size and geographic location of the City. The City’s commitment to seeking employee input and feedback regarding the compensation and classification system is a positive step toward improvement in these areas. Using the employee perception interviews, employees and senior leaders consistently stated that the compensation system should be improved to be market-competitive and 02 SUMMARY OF EMPLOYEE OUTREACH | CITY OF CRESCENT CITY, CA EVERGREEN SOLUTIONS, LLC PAGE 2 - 3
internally equitable. Furthermore, the classification system should be reviewed to ensure that titles align appropriately with performed duties and responsibilities.
The information received during this employee outreach provided a foundation for understanding the current environment while conducting the remainder of the study. The feedback aided Evergreen Solutions in the consideration and development of the recommendations provided in Chapter 6 of this report.

The purpose of this chapter is to provide a statistical analysis of the compensation and classification system in place at the City at the start of this study. The assessment is divided into the following sections:
3.1 Analysis of Pay Plans
3.2 Grade Placement Analysis
3.3 Quartile Analysis
3.4 Compression Analysis
3.5 Summary
The analysis represented in this chapter represents a snapshot in time – this chapter was built off of employee information collected in August of 2024. Every organization changes continuously, so this chapter is not meant to be a definitive statement on continuing compensation practices at the City.
Rather, this AOCC is meant to represent the conditions that were in place when this study began. The data contained within provide the baseline for analyses through the course of this study but are not sufficient cause for recommendations in isolation. By reviewing employee data, Evergreen gained a better understanding of the structure and methods in place and identified issues for both further review and potential revision.
3.1 ANALYSIS OF PAY PLANS
The purpose of analyzing the pay plans used within the City is to help gain an overview of the compensation philosophy as it existed when the study began. The City had a system in place that categorized classifications by level and type of work. This system was defined by each individual classification; while there was some overlap, artificial grades were created for each unique range based from the lowest range minimum to the highest and applied across all pay structures. For the purpose of this report, the various pay plans are being included together in the analysis to provide a holistic look at the pay ranges available to employees. Exhibit 3A displays the City’s pay plans summarized for ease of comparison. The exhibit provides the name; each pay grade on the plan; the value of each pay grade at minimum, midpoint, and maximum; the range spread for each pay grade – which is a measure of the distance between the minimum and maximum of the grade; the midpoint progression between grades; and the number of employees per pay grade.
The City does use a single “ungraded” pay grade, pay grade UNG. An ungraded pay grade is one that does not include pay ranges. That differs from a typical pay grade that would normally expect a range spread from 20 - 30 percent. The advantage of an ungraded pay grade is that is allows much more flexibility when assigning salaries than a typical range. While a 20 – 30 percent pay range might be sufficient for an administrative support position, for example, an ungraded range can be appropriate for positions that may experience quick changes over time due to changing market conditions.
Employee salaries in certain classifications could also vary widely depending on the department, the level of competency, and the level of responsibility and oversight an employee is assigned. There are two employees total in this pay grade. Classifications assigned to this pay grade includes newly developed or part-time roles.

The City’s pay plan includes 30 occupied pay grades that hold 78 employees. The pay range spreads fall between 0.0 - 33.6 percent. Eleven of the generated pay grades only have one employee, while pay grade 1 contains the most employees with 11.
Exhibit 3A | Pay Plan Summary

Range spreadsgenerally set between 20 - 30 percentare consistently aligned with what you would typically see in the market today. This provides a positive observation, at least from the structural sense of the plan.
The number of employees on each pay grade is widely varied. Multiple pay grades have only a single incumbent occupying the grade, while some pay grades contain approximately ten employees each.
Not pictured, but critically important to note is that each range identified consists of five steps, or pay progression points, throughout. This allows consistency in policies associated with progression in pay and transparency to employees on where a salary may fall at any point in time if expectations are met.
3.2 GRADE PLACEMENT ANALYSIS
The Grade Placement Analysis examines how employee salaries are distributed throughout the pay grades. This can help identify salary progression issues, which are usually accompanied by employee salaries that are clustered in segments of the pay grades. A clustering of employee salaries in the lower part of ranges can indicate a lack of salary progression for employees or a high level of employee turnover. A clustering of employee salaries in the high end of pay ranges can be a sign of high employee tenure or a sign that the pay ranges are behind market, forcing the organization to offer salaries near the maximum of the range to new hires. With regard to minimum and maximum salaries, employees at the grade minimum are typically newer to the organization or to the classification, while employees at the grade maximum are typically highly experienced and highly proficient in their classification. The Grade Placement Analysis examines how salaries sit within their pay ranges. Only pay grades with at least one incumbent are included in this analysis.
In service of this effort, an analysis was conducted to determine the number of employees below and above pay grade midpoint. The percentages refer to the percentage of employees in each pay grade that are above and below midpoint. Exhibit 3B displays the results of this analysis: a total of 29 employees are compensated below their pay grade midpointwhich is 37.2 percent of all employees for the City. There are 47 employees compensated above the midpoint of their pay grade, which is
60.3 percent of all employees.

3.3 QUARTILE ANALYSIS
The last part of the Grade Placement Analysis is a detailed look at how salaries are distributed through pay grades, through a quartile analysis. Here, each pay grade is divided into four segments of equal width, called quartiles. The first quartile represents the first 25 percent of the pay range; the second quartile represents the part of the range above the first quartile up to the mathematical midpoint; the third quartile represents the part of the range from the midpoint to 75 percent of the pay range; and Pay Plan Grade Employees # < Mid % < Mid # > Mid % > Mid 1 11 2 18.2% 9 81.8%

the fourth quartile represents the part of the range above the third quartile up to the pay range maximum. Employees are assigned to a quartile within their pay range based on their current salary.
The quartile analysis is used to evaluate how employee salaries are distributed within pay grades and to identify the presence of salary clustering in specific portions of the ranges. This analysis also examines employee tenure in order to assess the relationship between length of service and salary progression. While quartile data alone are not determinative, they provide important context when considered alongside market data and employee feedback in evaluating the effectiveness of the current compensation and classification system.
Exhibit 3C presents the distribution of employees across quartiles for each pay grade, along with average organizational tenure by quartile. Overall, 31.6 percent of employees are positioned in Quartile 1 of their respective pay grades, 6.6 percent in Quartile 2, 13.2 percent in Quartile 3, and
48.7 percent in Quartile 4. While this distribution does not independently support a definitive conclusion, the accompanying tenure data provide insight into the relationship between tenure and salary placement.
Average tenure initially declines before increasing as employees progress through the quartiles.
Employees in Quartile 1 average 2.6 years of service, those in Quartile 2 average 1.8 years, those in Quartile 3 average 3.4 years, and those in Quartile 4 average 7.6 years. While the lower average tenure observed in Quartile 2 represents a notable deviation from a strictly linear progression, the overall pattern indicates that salary placement generally increases with organizational tenure, suggesting that employees are, in most cases, advancing through pay ranges in alignment with length of service.
Quartile 2 is made up of only 6.6 percent of the employee population (five employees total), so an outlier does not cause as much concern as it would with a larger population size.
Exhibit 3D displays a graphical representation of the data contained in Exhibit 3C. Each pay grade is divided into up to four sections representing the percentage of employees in that pay grade who belong in each quartile. For example, pay grade 5 has zero employees in Quartiles 1, 2, or 4. That pay grade is represented by a 100 percent yellow bar, showing that 100 percent of grade 5 employees are in Quartile 3. Pay grade 7 has employees between all four quartiles, and it is consequently represented with bars displaying all four colors, corresponding to the percentage of employees for each pay grade in each quartile.

Review of the quartile distributions by pay grade reveals several notable patterns. Across the Classified pay plan, the proportion of employees in Quartile 1 generally declines as pay grades increase, indicating that employees in higher grades are more frequently positioned further into their respective salary ranges. For example, the representation of Quartile 1 employees decreases steadily across the higher classified grades, suggesting that progression through individual pay ranges tends to accompany advancement into higher-level classifications.
This pattern may be attributable to multiple factors. One potential explanation is promotional salary placement, whereby employees promoted to higher classifications enter their new pay grades above the minimum in order to avoid a reduction in pay, resulting in placement several steps into the range at the time of promotion. Another contributing factor may be external market pressure at higher grades, where positions typically require greater experience, specialized certifications, or advanced technical expertise. In such cases, competitive labor market conditions may necessitate higher starting salaries to attract qualified candidates, thereby placing new hires further into the pay range.
While the underlying drivers of this pattern cannot be determined conclusively without additional data, the consistency of the trend warrants continued monitoring. Ongoing evaluation of quartile placement by grade may provide valuable insight into promotional practices, market competitiveness, and longterm salary progression within the City’s compensation structure.
3.4 COMPRESSION ANALYSIS
Pay compression can be defined as the lack of variation in salaries between employees with significantly different levels of experience and responsibility. Compression can be seen as a threat to internal equity and morale. Two common types of pay compression can be observed when the pay of supervisors and their subordinates are too close, or the pay of highly tenured staff and newly hired employees in the same job are too similar.
According to the Society for Human Resources Management (SHRM), specific examples of actions that may cause pay compression include the following:
Reorganizations change peer relationships and can create compression if jobs are not reevaluated.
In some organizations, certain departments or divisions may be relatively liberal with salary increases, market adjustments, and promotionswhile others are not. Some employers have overlooked their Human Resources policies designed to regulate pay, paying new hires more than incumbents for similar jobs under the mantra of “paying what it takes to get the best talent.”
Many organizations have found it easy to hire people who had already done the same work for another organization, eliminating the need for training. Rather than hiring individuals with high potential and developing them for the long term, they have opted for employees who could “hit the ground running”regardless of their potential.
Exhibit 3E indicates the ratio of subordinate to supervisor salaries by grade graphically and Exhibit 3F displays these results numerically. Employees were grouped into categories reflecting whether their actual salary was less than 80 percent, less than 95 percent, or greater than 95 percent of their supervisor’s salary. Less than 80 percent would indicate that the ratio of an employee’s salary to his 03 ASSESSMENT OF CURRENT CONDITIONS | | CITY OF CRESCENT CITY, CA EVERGREEN SOLUTIONS, LLC PAGE 3 - 9
supervisor’s salary would yield a result of less than 0.8. For example, an employee with a salary of $79,000.00 and a supervisor with a salary of $100,000.00 would yield a ratio of 0.79, and be placed into the Less than 80 percent category.
An analysis of the data would quickly reveal that while most positions in the City are in a great position, with plenty of space between employee and supervisor salaries, there are still some employees with salaries more than 100 percent of their supervisor’s salary. Anywhere blue or red appears on Exhibit 3F is somewhere that warrants an examination of supervisor vs. employee salary. 03 ASSESSMENT OF CURRENT CONDITIONS | | CITY OF CRESCENT CITY, CA EVERGREEN SOLUTIONS, LLC PAGE 3 - 10 Exhibit 3E | Employee to Supervisor Salary Ratio by Pay Grade 03 ASSESSMENT OF CURRENT CONDITIONS | | CITY OF CRESCENT CITY, CA EVERGREEN SOLUTIONS, LLC PAGE 3 - 11

Exhibit 3G and Exhibit 3H showcase the actual vs. projected salaries of City employees, sorted by pay grade. Projected salary is calculated using a 5-year progression assumption for employees. For example, an employee who had worked at their position for 2.5 years would be projected to be at the grade midpoint, while an employee with 5 or more class years would be projected to be at the grade maximum. An important distinction between this compression table and the quartile analysis: this compression table utilizes class years, while the Quartile analysis uses tenure. Class years are differentiated from tenure by using the date that you started working in your current classification as the start date, instead of the date you first were hired by the City. To illustrate, if an employee had been an accountant for ten years and then was promoted last year to Accountant Supervisor, that employee would have ten years of tenure but only one class year.
Overall, the distribution of employees reflects a balanced alignment with projected salaries, with some employees making more or less than expected, but the largest cluster of employees being within 5.0 percent of their expected salaries. As shown in the summary table, 20 employees are compensated within 5 percent of their projected salary, indicating close alignment between class-time-based expectations and actual pay. An additional 11 employees are paid between 5 and 10 percent above projected salary, while 12 employees exceed their projected salary by more than 10 percent.
Conversely, nine employees are compensated between 5 and 10 percent below projected salary, and 10 employees fall more than 10 percent below their projected level. This relatively even distribution above and below projected pay suggests that, in aggregate, salaries are generally positioned where expected under a tenure-based progression model.
Exhibit 3H further illustrates this distribution graphically across pay plans and bargaining associations.
The chart demonstrates that deviations from projected salary are not concentrated within a single pay plan or employee group. Instead, each bargaining association reflects a mix of employees earning above and below their projected salaries, indicating that alignment with projected pay is not isolated to one segment of the organization. This dispersion suggests that observed variances are more likely attributable to individual factors, such as promotional timing, hiring salary placement, or market-driven adjustments, rather than systemic structural issues within a specific pay plan.
Several additional observations emerge from this analysis. First, the presence of employees earning above projected salary is not inherently problematic and may reflect promotion-related salary placement, where employees enter a higher classification above the minimum of the new range to avoid a reduction in pay. Second, employees earning below their projected salary may represent employees with interrupted service histories or classifications where salary progression has lagged behind expectations due to market or fiscal constraints. Employee performance, classification reorganization, or other historical factors that could impact employee progression into pay ranges are also absent from this chart. Finally, the absence of extreme clustering in any single category reinforces that the compensation system, while not perfectly linear, is functioning in a manner that generally supports equitable salary progression over time.
Taken together, the actual versus projected salary analysis indicates that the City’s compensation structure produces a reasonably balanced distribution of salaries relative to tenure-based expectations. While individual deviations warrant monitoring, the overall pattern does not suggest widespread compression or systemic misalignment and provides a stable foundation for evaluating future compensation adjustments.

3.5 SUMMARY
There were many observations made with respect to the City’s compensation system in place at the beginning of the study.
The City maintains multiple pay plans that collectively include 30 occupied pay grades serving 78 employees. Range spreads generally fall within a modest range, with most grades exhibiting a narrow progression of slightly more than 20 percent from minimum to maximum, and the use of an ungraded pay structure for select positions. While this approach provides flexibility, it can limit the ability to support long-term salary progression in certain roles. Approximately 60 percent of employees are compensated above their pay grade midpoint, while just over one-third are below the midpoint. This distribution suggests that many employees are positioned deeper into their salary ranges, potentially reflecting organizational tenure, hiring placement practices, or market pressures. Nearly half of employees are positioned in the top quartile of their respective pay grades, while approximately one-third fall in the first quartile. Average tenure increases as quartile placement increases, indicating a general relationship between length of service and salary progression. A small outlier is present in Quartile 2; however, this group represents a limited number of employees and does not materially alter the overall pattern. Quartile analysis by grade indicates that employees in higher classifications are less frequently positioned in the lowest quartile of their pay ranges. This pattern is consistent with promotional salary placement practices and market-driven hiring pressures for more specialized or competitive positions.
Most employees earn less than 80.0 percent of their direct supervisor’s salary, suggesting that widespread compression between supervisory and non-supervisory roles is not present. A small number of instances warrant further review but do not indicate systemic compression concerns.
The actual versus projected salary analysis shows a balanced distribution of employees earning above and below projected salary levels, with the largest share of employees compensated within five percent of their expected salary. Variances appear to be dispersed across pay plans and bargaining associations rather than concentrated in any single group.
This analysis acts as a starting point for the development of recommendations in subsequent chapters of this report. Paired with market data, Evergreen is able to make recommendations that will ensure that the City’s compensation system is structurally sound in terms of best practice, competitive with the market, and treats all employees equitably moving forward.

04 MARKET SUMMARY
EVERGREEN SOLUTIONS, LLC PAGE 4 - 1
The purpose of the market summary chapter is to benchmark the City’s compensation practices against that of its market peers, in order to establish how competitive the City is with the market. To complete this market study, Evergreen compared pay ranges of select benchmark positions that the City possesses against the compensation of positions performing those same duties within peer organizations. By aggregating the differences in pay ranges across all the positions, a reasonable determination is made as to the City’s competitive position within the market.
It is important to note that individual salaries are not analyzed in this methodology, since individual compensation can be affected by a number of variables such as experience and job performance. For this reason, Evergreen looked at average pay ranges across the entire classification to make the most accurate comparison. The results of this market study should be considered reflective of the current state of the market at the time of this study, however, market conditions can change rapidly.
Consequently, it is necessary to perform market surveys of peer organizations at regular intervals in order for an organization to consistently monitor its position within the market. Furthermore, the market results detailed in this chapter provide a foundation for understanding the City’s overall structural standing to the market, and the rates reflected in this chapter, while an important factor, are not the sole determinant for how classifications were placed into the proposed salary ranges outlined in Chapter 5.
The information presented in this chapter is intended to serve as a practical and informative tool for the City and its employee bargaining associations as they evaluate compensation and consider salary negotiations in upcoming fiscal years. While the market findings provide an objective comparison of how the City’s classifications align with peer organizations, they should be considered in conjunction with other relevant factors that may uniquely differentiate the work performed by City employees, including local service demands, operational scope, organizational structure, and labor market conditions. Accordingly, the results in this chapter are not intended to function as a definitive determination of appropriate compensation levels, but rather as one of several inputs to be weighed as part of a broader, collaborative decision-making process.
Evergreen conducted a comprehensive market salary survey for the City, which included soliciting 24 target peer organizations (18 cities, two counties, and four other organizations) for 50 benchmark positions. Of the 24 total organizations contacted, 24 responded and provided data for the benchmark positions. Target peers were selected based on a number of factors, including geographic proximity, resource level, job overlap, and size. Target organizations were also identified for their competition to the City for employee recruitment and retention efforts. The list of targets that provided data for the purpose of this study are included in Exhibit 4A.

Exhibit 4A | Respondent Market Peers
Because the data collected for the market summary was from various regions, it was necessary to adjust peer responses relative to the City based on cost-of-living. For all organizations that fell outside the City’s immediate region, a cost-of-living adjustment was applied to the reported pay ranges to ensure a market average was attained in terms of the spending power an employee would have in the City’s local area. Evergreen utilizes cost-of-living index information from the Council for Community and Economic Research. The cost-of-living index figures for the City and each of the respondent market peers are located in Exhibit 4B.

Exhibit 4B | Respondents With Cost-of-Living Adjustments
4.1 MARKET DATA
The results of the market study are displayed in Exhibit 4C, which includes the benchmark job titles and the market average salaries for each position at the minimum, midpoint, and maximum points of the pay ranges. Also included within the exhibit are the percent differentials of the City’s pay ranges at each respective point, relative to the market average pay. A positive percent differential is indicative of the City’s pay range exceeding that of the average of its market peers; alternatively, a negative percent differential indicates the City’s compensation for a given position lagging behind the average of its peers. The exhibit also includes the average pay range for the market respondents for each position, as well as how many responses each benchmark received.
While all benchmarks are included in the survey, not every peer organization possesses an appropriate match. Consequently, the benchmarks receive varying levels of response. For the purpose of this study, all positions that received fewer than five matches from market peers were not considered in establishing the City’s competitive position. The rationale behind these positions being excluded is that insufficient response can lead to unreliable averages that may skew the aggregated data, blurring the reality of the City’s actual position in the market. Of the 50 positions surveyed, 42 met the criteria for inclusion.

4.2 SALARY SURVEY RESULTS
Market Minimums
It is important to assess where an organization is relative to its market minimum salaries, as they are the beginning salaries of employees with minimal qualifications for a given position. Organizations that are significantly below market may experience recruitment challenges with entry-level employees. As seen in Exhibit 4C, the City is currently 3.8 percent below the market average minimum, when considering positions with sufficient responses. The City’s benchmark positions ranged from 34.0 percent below to 11.9 percent above at the market minimum.
The following points are regarding the City’s position relative to the market average minimum:
• Of these 42 positions, 23 were below market, averaging 12.4 percent below. These 23 classifications represent roughly 54.8 percent of the surveyed positions that met the criteria for inclusion.
• Of the 23 positions below market, seven were more than 15.0 percent below the average market minimum. These positions are displayed in Exhibit 4D. • Of these 42 positions, 20 were above market, averaging 6.0 percent above. These 20 classifications represent roughly 47.6 percent of the surveyed positions that met the criteria for inclusion.
• Of the 20 positions above market, 10 were more than 5.0 percent above the average market minimum. Zero positions were more than 15.0 percent above the market average. • The HR Manager classification was found to be significantly under market by the City during the course of the study, so the City adjusted the pay for this role while the survey was ongoing.
The differential below, while accurate at the time of the market survey, reflects an outdated figure that the City has already adjusted at the time of this report. This applies to the exhibit showing the minimum, midpoint, and maximum vs. the market average.

Market Midpoints
The market midpoint is exceptionally important to analyze, as it is often considered the closest estimation of market average compensation. As seen in Exhibit 4C, the City is currently 4.3 percent below the market average midpoint, when considering positions with sufficient responses. The City’s benchmark positions ranged from 30.7 percent below to 12.5 percent above at the market midpoint.
The following points are regarding the City’s position relative to the market average midpoint:
• Of these 42 positions, 24 were below market, averaging 12.4 percent below. These 24 classifications represent roughly 57.1 percent of the surveyed positions that met the criteria for inclusion.
• Of the 24 positions below market, eight were more than 15.0 percent below the average market minimum. These positions are displayed in Exhibit 4E. • Of these 42 positions, 19 were above market, averaging 5.9 percent above. These 19 classifications represent roughly 45.2 percent of the surveyed positions that met the criteria for inclusion.
• Of the 19 positions above market, 10 were more than 5.0 percent above the average market midpoint. Zero positions were more than 15.0 percent above the market average.

The pay range maximum averages, and how they compare to the City’s, are also detailed in Exhibit 4C.
As seen in the exhibit, the City is currently 4.8 percent below the market average maximum, when considering positions with sufficient responses. The City’s benchmark positions ranged from 30.7 percent below to 13.0 percent above at the market maximum.
The following points are regarding the City’s position relative to the market average maximum:
• Of these 42 positions, 24 were below market, averaging 12.9 percent below. These 24 classifications represent roughly 57.1 percent of the surveyed positions that met the criteria for inclusion.

4.3 SALARY SURVEY CONCLUSION
The standing of individual classifications pay range relative to the market should not be considered a definitive assessment of actual employee salaries being similarly above or below the market; however, such differentials can, in part, explain symptomatic issues with recruitment and retention of employees.
The main summary points of the market study are as follows:
• The City’s pay ranges are approximately 4.3 percent below the market minimum. • The City’s pay ranges are approximately 4.8 percent below the market midpoint. • The City’s pay ranges are approximately 5.2 percent below the market maximum. • The City’s pay range spread is approximately 22.0 percent, while its peers’ pay range spread is 23.3 percent. This close alignment indicates that the City’s pay ranges are structured similarly to those of its peers, with comparable distance between minimum and maximum salary levels. As a result, differences in market competitiveness are more likely attributable to overall pay level placement rather than to fundamental differences in range design or salary progression structure.
4.4 TOTAL COMPENSATION INTRODUCTION
The preceding sections of this chapter focus on comparisons of base salary structures and pay range placement. These analyses are a critical component of understanding the City’s competitive position, as salary represents the most direct and visible form of employee compensation and is often the primary driver of recruitment and retention outcomes.

However, salary alone does not reflect the full value of the employment relationship. Public sector compensation is comprised of multiple components beyond base pay, including employer-provided benefits such as retirement contributions, health insurance, paid leave, and other non-wage offerings.
Excluding these elements can result in an incomplete assessment of how competitive an organization is relative to its peers.
For this reason, a total compensation analysis was conducted to evaluate the combined value of salary and benefits provided to employees. This approach allows for a more comprehensive comparison by accounting for differences in benefit structures that may offset lower salaries or, conversely, amplify higher wages when compared across organizations.
The total compensation analysis presented in this section is intended to supplement, rather than replace, the salary-only findings discussed earlier in the chapter. Together, these perspectives provide a more complete understanding of the City’s overall competitive position in the labor market and help inform subsequent recommendations related to compensation strategy and resource allocation.
4.5 TOTAL COMPENSATION METHODOLOGY
The total compensation figures presented in this section are intended to reflect the maximum total compensation available to employees under the City’s compensation and benefits framework.
Specifically, the values displayed represent a scenario in which an employee is compensated at the maximum of the applicable pay range and fully utilizes all benefits offered by the City. This approach establishes a consistent and comparable basis for evaluating the overall value of the City’s compensation package relative to peer organizations.
Total compensation, as defined for the purposes of this analysis, includes base salary at the pay grade maximum, employer-paid medical insurance at the family coverage level, employer-paid dental and vision insurance premiums, and employer retirement contributions. In addition, the value of paid leave is incorporated into the total compensation calculation. Leave valuation assumes that all available leave is utilized during the year, including vacation, sick leave, and holiday leave, and is calculated based on the employee’s maximum salary rate. This methodology allows for a standardized assessment of the full compensation offering rather than individual utilization patterns.
The analysis also incorporates the value of additional forms of compensation provided by the City, where applicable. These may include longevity pay, certification pay, degree pay, special assignment pay, and other similar compensation elements. Inclusion of these components reflects the maximum potential value of the City’s compensation program; however, it is recognized that not all employees qualify for each form of additional pay, nor do all employees receive every available incentive concurrently.
It is important to note that this total compensation analysis is not intended to represent actual takehome pay or the individualized benefit utilization of any specific employee. Rather, it is designed to illustrate the total compensation available to employees as a whole under the City’s policies and programs. By evaluating compensation on a maximum-value basis, this methodology provides a consistent framework for comparing the City’s overall employment offering to that of peer organizations and for understanding how salary and benefits collectively contribute to the City’s competitive position in the labor market.

4.6 TOTAL COMPENSATION DATA
The total compensation results are presented in Exhibit 4G and summarize the City’s competitive position when salary and benefits are evaluated collectively. The exhibit includes each benchmark classification, the bargaining association to which each classification belongs, the City’s calculated total compensation value, the median total compensation observed among peer organizations, and the resulting percentage differential between the City and the market.
The differential displayed in the exhibit reflects the extent to which the City’s total compensation offering exceeds or lags the median of its peer group for each benchmark classification. Positive differentials indicate classifications where the City’s total compensation exceeds the market median, while negative differentials indicate classifications where the City trails the market. This structure allows for a clear and consistent comparison across classifications and bargaining units, while maintaining transparency regarding how each employee group aligns with the broader labor market.
As described in the methodology section, the total compensation figures shown in the exhibit represent the maximum total compensation available to employees. These values assume compensation at the maximum of the applicable pay range, full utilization of all eligible benefits, and qualification for any applicable additional pay components. Accordingly, the figures should not be interpreted as actual take-home pay or as a reflection of individual employee compensation, but rather as a representation of the overall compensation value offered by the City.
When reviewed alongside the salary-only analysis presented earlier in this chapter, the total compensation data provide important context regarding the role benefits and supplemental pay play in the City’s overall competitive position. Together, these analyses offer a more comprehensive view of how the City’s compensation program compares to its peers and help inform subsequent discussions related to compensation strategy and policy considerations. 04 MARKET SUMMARY | CITY OF CRESCENT CITY, CA

4.7 TOTAL COMPENSATION RESULTS
Classifications Below Market
Exhibit H | Classification More Than 10.0 Percent Below Market Total Compensation The total compensation analysis identified 16 benchmark classifications with total compensation values more than 10 percent below the median of peer organizations. These classifications span multiple bargaining units and include a mix of professional, technical, supervisory, and executive roles, indicating that the observed gaps are not isolated to a single employee group or occupational category.
The magnitude of these differentials suggests that, even when the full value of benefits and supplemental pay is considered, the City’s total compensation offering for these classifications remains materially below that of its peers. In several cases, the gaps exceed 20 percent, reflecting a level of divergence that may contribute to recruitment and retention challenges, particularly in roles that require specialized expertise, leadership experience, or market-competitive skill sets.
It is important to note that this analysis reflects maximum total compensation and does not represent individual take-home pay. However, persistent gaps at the total compensation level indicate that benefits alone are not sufficient to offset salary differences for these classifications. These findings provide important context for evaluating where targeted compensation adjustments or structural changes may be warranted in subsequent recommendations.

4.8 OVERALL MARKET SUMMARY
The market analysis presented in this chapter provides a comprehensive assessment of the City’s competitive position relative to peer organizations by examining both salary-only and total compensation data. The salary survey establishes how the City’s pay ranges compare to the market at the minimum, midpoint, and maximum, while the total compensation analysis expands this view to incorporate the value of benefits and supplemental pay. Together, these perspectives offer important insight into where the City is aligned with the market and where material gaps exist.
While the salary-only analysis highlights areas where base pay lags or exceeds peer averages, the total compensation review provides critical context regarding the extent to which benefits offset or amplify those differences. In some classifications, total compensation falls well below the market even when the full value of benefits is considered. Conversely, the analysis also identifies classifications where the City’s total compensation offering exceeds that of peer organizations, demonstrating that the City’s compensation framework is capable of achieving above-market positioning in select roles.
The market results presented in this chapter are not intended to serve as the sole basis for compensation recommendations. Rather, they represent one component of a broader analytical framework that also includes the Assessment of Current Conditions and information collected through the Job Assessment Tool process. In Chapter 5, these market findings are utilized alongside internal equity considerations, classification responsibilities, and organizational priorities to develop recommendations that are both market-informed and internally consistent. This integrated approach allows the City to consider targeted, fiscally responsible strategies to strengthen competitiveness while supporting equity and long-term sustainability.

05 RECOMMENDATIONS
EVERGREEN SOLUTIONS, LLC PAGE 5 - 1
After reviewing the information provided in the preceding sections of this report, Evergreen developed recommendations to improve the City’s current compensation and classification system. The recommendations, as well as the findings that led to each recommendation, are discussed in detail in this section. The recommendations are organized into three sections: classification, compensation, and administration of the system.
The recommendations presented in this chapter are intended to provide illustrative options for the City’s consideration as it evaluates potential approaches to compensation, classification, and benefits moving forward. These recommendations are informed by the findings from the Assessment of Current Conditions, market analyses, total compensation review, and information collected through the Job Assessment Tool process. Collectively, they are designed to demonstrate how the City’s compensation framework could be adjusted to better align with common practices and prevailing conditions observed within the labor market.
Evergreen recognizes that the City is actively engaged in collective bargaining with its employee associations and that compensation outcomes are ultimately determined through that process. The recommendations contained in this chapter are not intended to replace, supersede, or direct collective bargaining discussions. Rather, they are provided as examples of potential strategies and structural approaches that may be considered as part of those discussions, based on market norms and compensation best practices.
Accordingly, the recommendations should be viewed as tools to support informed decision-making rather than prescriptive mandates. The City and its employee associations are encouraged to evaluate these options in the context of fiscal capacity, operational priorities, workforce needs, and mutually agreed-upon objectives. Final compensation decisions should reflect alignment between the City and its bargaining units regarding the approaches that best support competitiveness, equity, and long-term sustainability.
5.1 CLASSIFICATION RECOMMENDATIONS
An organization’s classification system establishes how its human resources are employed to perform its core services. The classification system consists of the titles and descriptions of the different classifications, or positions, which define how work is organized and assigned. It is essential that the titles and descriptions of an organization’s classifications accurately depict the work being performed by employees in the classifications in order to ensure equity within the organization and to enable comparisons with positions at peer organizations. The purpose of a classification analysis is to identify issues such as incorrect titles, outdated job descriptions, and inconsistent titles across departments.
Recommendations are then made to remedy the identified concerns based on human resources best practices.
In the analysis of the City’s classification system, Evergreen Solutions collected classification data through the Job Assessment Tool (JAT) process. The JATs, which were completed by employees and reviewed by their supervisors, provided information about the type and level of work being performed for each of the City’s classifications. Evergreen reviewed the data provided in the JATs and used the information as the basis for classification recommendations. 05 RECOMMENDATIONS
05 RECOMMENDATIONS | CITY OF CRESCENT CITY, CA
EVERGREEN SOLUTIONS, LLC PAGE 5 - 2
FINDING
Overall, the City’s classification structure was found to be generally accurate and reflective of the work performed by employees. Most classifications align appropriately with assigned duties, responsibilities, and organizational expectations.
However, the review identified areas of inconsistency within certain administrative and support roles, where classification titles and descriptions were applied variably across departments despite similar scope and complexity of work. In addition, isolated instances of inconsistent titling were observed among select manager and coordinator roles, where titles did not consistently reflect differences in level, responsibility, or supervisory authority. These inconsistencies appear limited in scope but warrant consideration to ensure clarity, internal alignment, and consistency across the classification structure.
Additionally, several of the City’s classifications require some modification to better describe the work being performed. Current job descriptions and corresponding Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) exemption status require review, updates, and revisions.
RECOMMENDATION 1: Adopt a new classification system for all employees.
It is recommended that the City update its classification system to incorporate targeted title adjustments aimed at improving consistency across departments. While the majority of employee job titles were found to be appropriate and are not recommended for change, select administrative, support, manager, and coordinator classifications were identified as having inconsistent or misaligned titles. Implementing the recommended title changes for these classifications will improve clarity, support consistent application of the classification structure, and strengthen alignment across the City’s system as a whole.
RECOMMENDATION 2: Update existing class description to reflect the new classification system, and review all updated descriptions for FLSA status.
In conjunction with the City making the proposed title changes, Evergreen will provide the City with updated classification descriptions to ensure that they accurately reflect the work being carried out by employees. These are being provided under separate cover. Upon completion and approval of the proposed class descriptions, Evergreen will further recommend an updated FLSA status for the roles based on the new, updated content contained within the description.
5.2 COMPENSATION RECOMMENDATIONS
The compensation analysis consisted of two parts: an external market assessment and an internal equity assessment. During the external market assessment, the City’s compensation for selected benchmark classifications was compared to average compensation offered in the market the City competes for employees in. The external assessment consisted of comparing the City against its peer organizations within its market, and revealed that the City is currently lagging the market slightly.
During the internal equity assessment, consideration of the relationships between and the type of work being performed by the City’s employees in their classifications was reviewed and analyzed.
Specifically, a composite score was assigned to each of the City’s classifications that quantified the classification’s level of six separate compensatory factors. The level for each factor was determined based on responses to the JAT.
05 RECOMMENDATIONS | CITY OF CRESCENT CITY, CA
EVERGREEN SOLUTIONS, LLC PAGE 5 - 3
FINDING
Overall, the City’s current pay ranges are positioned slightly below the market, with many individual ranges falling within a reasonable range of peer organizations. However, when evaluated in aggregate, the City’s compensation structure is trailing the market. In addition, the analysis identified inconsistencies in the application of pay grades across different bargaining units, which contribute to variations in how classifications align with market benchmarks and affect comparability across the organization.
RECOMMENDATION 3: Adopt a new, market-responsive compensation structure and assign all positions to it equitably.
Evergreen has developed for the City’s consideration a new, market-responsive pay structure. The new structure consists of 30 unique pay grades, each with a range spread of 24.4 percent between the minimum and the maximum of the range. Furthermore, the midpoint progression between grades is between 5.0 and 6.5 percent on the General plan and 3.7 percent and 20.1 percent on the Public Safety plan. The details of the proposed plans are located in Exhibit 5A.

05 RECOMMENDATIONS | CITY OF CRESCENT CITY, CA
EVERGREEN SOLUTIONS, LLC PAGE 5 - 4
Implementation of the new compensation structure requires two steps. First, all positions were assigned to an appropriate pay grade within the overall plan. To determine what pay grade each position was assigned, Evergreen used the following factors: the results of the JAT analysis, the results of the market study, as well as consideration for both existing and newly created internal relationships between classifications. Assigning pay grades to classifications requires a balance of internal equity and desired market position, and recruitment and retention concerns also played a role in the process.
Thus, the market results discussed in Chapter 4 were not the sole criteria for the proposed pay ranges.
RECOMMENDATION 4: Evergreen recommends the City adopt a methodology to transition employee salaries into the proposed pay plan that aligns with its established compensation philosophy and meets the available financial resources of the organization.
The second step of implementing the proposed structure is to transition employee salaries into their new recommended pay ranges. This step can be done via a variety of methods, each with their own strengths and drawbacks; these options are outlined below.
Bring to Min
The Bring to Minimum option adjusts employees only to the minimum of their assigned pay range where current salaries fall below that point. While this is the least costly implementation option, it can contribute to salary compression by placing employees with different levels of experience at the same range minimum. This approach establishes compliance with the new structure but does not meaningfully differentiate pay based on tenure or progression.
Class Parity
The Class Parity option places employees within their pay ranges based on relative position and time in classification, which strengthens alignment within individual job classes based on time. However, this approach can create inconsistencies across the organization and disrupt internal equity when compared to how staff are currently positioned within the step plan. As a result, pay relationships between different classifications or departments may feel uneven, even if parity is achieved within each class.
Keep Same Step
This option consists of transitioning employees into the proposed pay ranges by maintaining their current step placement within the pay range. Under this approach, employees remain on the same step in the new pay structure that they currently occupy, thereby preserving all prior progression achieved within the range. As a result, any market adjustment applied to a classification is reflected uniformly across all incumbents in that classification. For example, if a pay range increases by 5.0 percent to align with the market, employees in that classification would receive a corresponding 5.0 percent adjustment; similarly, a 9.0 percent market adjustment would result in a 9.0 percent increase.
This methodology applies the full market movement to each employee, does not introduce additional salary compression, and maintains existing internal relationships by respecting prior advancement through the pay range. The estimated salary-only cost for this adjustment is $628,568, affecting a total of 78 employees. The total cost to the City would be $873,246 when factoring in fringe benefits and looking at the total financial impact of this adjustment.
05 RECOMMENDATIONS | CITY OF CRESCENT CITY, CA
EVERGREEN SOLUTIONS, LLC PAGE 5 - 5
5.3 COMPENSATION AND CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM ADMINISTRATION Any organization’s compensation and classification system will need periodic maintenance. The recommendations provided in this chapter were developed based on conditions at the time the study was conducted. Without proper upkeep of the system, the potential for recruitment and retention issues may increase as the compensation and classification system becomes dated and less competitive.
RECOMMENDATION 5: Conduct small-scale salary surveys as needed to assess the market competitiveness of hard-to-fill classifications and/or classifications with retention issues, and make adjustments to pay grade assignments if necessary.
While it is unlikely that the pay plan as a whole will need to be adjusted for several years, a small number of classifications’ pay grades may need to be reassigned more frequently. If one or more classifications are exhibiting high turnover or are having difficulty with recruitment, the City should collect salary range data from peer organizations to determine whether an adjustment is needed for the pay grade of the classification(s).
RECOMMENDATION 6: Conduct a comprehensive classification and compensation study every three to five years.
While small-scale salary surveys can improve the market position of specific classifications, it is recommended that a full classification and compensation study be conducted every three to five years to preserve both internal and external equity for the City. Changes to classification and compensation do occur, and while the increments of change may seem minor, they can compound over time. A failure to react to these changes quickly has the potential to place the City in a poor position for recruiting and retaining quality employees.
While the previous two recommendations intend to maintain the competitiveness over time of the classification and compensation structure as a whole, it is also necessary to establish procedures for determining equitable pay practices for individual employees.
RECOMMENDATION 7: Ensure consistent policies and practices for moving employees’ salaries through the pay plan are in place, including procedures for annual pay range adjustments, classification-level market realignments as needed, and individual employee progression within assigned ranges.
The method of moving salaries through the pay plan and adjusting ranges and grades depends largely on an organization’s compensation philosophy. However, it is important for the City to have established guidelines for these situations, and that they are followed consistently for all employees and classifications. Common practices for progressing and establishing employee salaries are outlined below.
Salary Progression
As outlined above, Evergreen recommends City enact the second phase of implementing the new pay plan which would involve a one-time salary adjustment for employees to ensure they are placed in the proper percentile of their salary range. While this major adjustment should be performed when the City has the financial resources to do so, the City should continue to adjust salaries annually when financially feasible. Based on common practice from peers and across local governments nationwide, 05 RECOMMENDATIONS | CITY OF CRESCENT CITY, CA
EVERGREEN SOLUTIONS, LLC PAGE 5 - 6
Evergreen recommends that the basis of salary adjustment in the future be done at three distinct levels.
• Structural: Adjustment to pay ranges should be done on an annual basis to reflect prevailing market movement. Ideally, this adjustment would be informed by the average increases implemented by peer organizations, as identified through periodic market surveys. Aligning structural movement with peer practices helps ensure that pay ranges remain competitive over time and reduces the risk of market drift between comprehensive compensation studies. If the City deems that conducting regular peer surveys is not practical, the City may alternatively tie annual pay range movement to a consistent external economic indicator, such as the Consumer Price Index (CPI) or another widely recognized wage inflation measure. Utilizing a fixed data source provides a transparent and predictable mechanism for maintaining the competitiveness of the pay structure while allowing the City to balance administrative capacity and fiscal considerations.
• Classification: As a result of ongoing market surveys, the City may identify classifications or job families experiencing significant market movement, at which point reassignment of pay grades should be considered. In addition, the City should regularly monitor key workforce indicators, including recruitment activity, vacancy duration, turnover rates, and time-to-hire metrics, to identify classifications exhibiting persistent recruitment or retention challenges. When these indicators for a classification are materially out of alignment with organizational norms, pay grade reassignment should be evaluated to ensure the City remains competitive in attracting qualified candidates and retaining experienced employees. • Individual: The City should evaluate step increases for employees on an annual basis, with eligibility evaluated each year through the performance evaluation process. While step increases are not intended to function as performance-based pay, granting progression only to employees who receive a satisfactory performance evaluation reinforces accountability and ensures that salary advancement is aligned with acceptable performance standards.
Establishing this linkage provides the City with a clear mechanism to withhold step increases in cases of unsatisfactory performance, while maintaining predictable and equitable progression for employees who meet performance expectations.
5.4 SUMMARY
The City should be commended for initiating a comprehensive review of its classification and compensation program and for engaging an external partner to support an objective, data-driven assessment. This proactive approach reflects a commitment to maintaining a competitive and equitable employment framework capable of supporting service delivery, workforce stability, and longterm organizational sustainability.
Employee outreach, including orientation sessions and focus group discussions, provided an effective forum for employee engagement and served as an important source of context regarding how the current system is experienced in practice. Feedback gathered through these discussions, when considered alongside internal data and market comparisons, strengthened the study’s ability to identify patterns related to classification consistency, salary progression, and competitiveness in the labor market.
The external assessment revealed that the City’s compensation system has been administered in a manner that demonstrates reasonable structural alignment with peer common practices, and internal analyses indicate that salaries are generally progressing through ranges in a manner that is broadly 05 RECOMMENDATIONS | CITY OF CRESCENT CITY, CA
EVERGREEN SOLUTIONS, LLC PAGE 5 - 7
consistent with tenure and step placement. At the same time, the study identified opportunities to improve consistency in classification titling for select administrative and support roles, to reduce variability in how grades and structures are applied across bargaining units, and to address areas where certain classifications remain below market when viewed through both salary-only and total compensation perspectives.
Completion of this holistic review provides the City with an opportunity to implement targeted adjustments and strengthen program consistency in a coordinated manner, rather than relying on incremental or ad hoc changes over time. The resulting recommendations are intended to support a clearer, more internally consistent classification framework and a compensation structure that is better positioned to respond to market movement, recruitment and retention pressures, and long-term sustainability considerations.
The analyses and options presented in this report are intended to serve as an informed resource for the City and its employee associations as collective bargaining continues. Data and findings from this study are well-suited to support productive discussions regarding classification alignment, structural pay plan movement, and targeted market adjustments, with the objective of establishing a more consistent and transparent framework for compensation and classification moving forward.

Therefore, the parties hereto, for the duration of this M.O.U., and subject to the exceptions contained herein, each voluntarily and unqualifiedly waives the right, and each agrees that the other will not be obligated to meet-and-confer with respect to any subject or matter in this M.O.U.

8.1.1. Employees assigned to a position requiring less than full-time work will be considered part-time employees.
8.1.3. The parties agree that the determination as to whether an employee works a standard, defined or alternative schedule is the management prerogative of the City Manager. Prior to any change in assignment for one or more bargaining unit employees, the City Manager shall meet and consult with the bargaining unit regarding the proposed change. The change in the assigned schedule shall not take place sooner than 90 days’ following the City Manager’s request to meet and consult with the bargaining unit, unless the employee and the City Manager agree to a shorter period of time. The duty to meet and consult does not apply to schedule changes made necessary by emergency situations or staffing shortages.
8.2 Work Day / Work Week Described. The parties hereto agree that the normal work day for City employees is one of the following according to the assigned schedule:
8.2.1. For a standard schedule: the normal workday is eight (8) hours in each single workday for five (5) days per week.

Employees will not be compensated for the lunch break during their normal workday assignment.
8.4 Alternative Work Schedule. The City and CCMEA agree that an alternative work schedule may be allowed within City departments as approved by the Department Head and City Manager. Such alternative work schedule must not interfere with the orderly completion of the employee’s workload or the number of hours worked per pay period. The City has the right to revoke said benefit at any time if it interferes with the orderly conduct of business, is abused by the employee, or is not providing adequate service to the public.
An alternative work schedule will consist of ten (10) hours per workday for four (4) days per week. Department with direct public contact must maintain staffing schedules to provide adequate public service.
8.5 Compensatory Time-Off. This plan is intended to qualify under Section 3(s)(1)(C) of the Fair Labor Standards Act. This plan is subject to the following conditions and restrictions in addition to the limits set by the California Labor Code.

The maximum accrual of compensatory time off will be eighty (80) hours.
8.5.2. The balance of accrued compensatory time off may not be carried over at the end of the City’s fiscal year. Any unused comp time will be paid to the employee with the last pay period in June.

8.5.3. Use of accrued compensatory time off must occur before use of floating holidays, administrative leave or vacation.
8.5.4. Use of accrued compensatory time off is subject to the same requirements as use of vacation and sick leave.

8.6.1. Continued tardiness for work may result in disciplinary action against the employee.
CCMEA MOU 2025-2027 [5]
8.6.2. Employees leaving their work area early without the prior authorization of their Department Head will have their pay reduced in the same manner as is provided for employees who are late for work, and in addition, such absence may be considered as a refusal to work and as such may be considered as grounds for disciplinary action.

13.7 Sick Leave. It is the policy of the City that sick leave is not to be considered a privilege for an employee to use at his or her discretion, but is to be provided as a benefit to be used in case of necessity for an actual illness or disability. It is the responsibility of the Department Head to deny the use of sick leave with pay in cases where there is substantial evidence of abuse of the sick leave privilege.

Employees who violate or misuse sick leave provisions may be required to provide a physician’s report for each day off when sick leave is requested, and upon further misuse, the employee may be disciplined. Examples of misuse may include but are not limited to instances involving patterned absences or utilizing sick leave for reasons other than illness, medical condition or medical/dental appointments.
13.7.5. Employees returning from sick leave with restrictions must accept light duty when offered. Failure to do so will be considered a voluntary quit and employment will be terminated.
13.7.6. An eligible employee may take sick leave in the event of a serious illness or medical condition for a member of the employee’s immediate family. The employee may be required to file a physician’s or dentist’s statement, or a personal affidavit with Human Resources stating the cause of absence before such leave with pay will be granted.
For purposes of this section, immediate family is defined as:

f. A grandchild;
g. A sibling.

13.7.8. In the event of a voluntary or involuntary transfer of any employee within the City, the employee’s leave credits will also be transferred in their full amount.
13.7.9. The City has entered into an agreement with the PERS whereby accumulated sick leave is converted to additional service credit upon retirement.
13.7.10. Conversion to Vacation Leave. Employees who obtain and retain a maximum available sick leave accrual at one thousand (1000) hours in each biweekly pay period will be compensated by an additional one (1) hour of vacation time in lieu of accruing any additional sick leave, unless the employee’s accrued vacation exceeds four hundred (400) hours, in which case the employee does not accrue either modified vacation or sick leave.
13.8 Occupational Medical Leave. An employee who is receiving temporary disability indemnity under applicable Workers’ Compensation provisions of the California Labor Code, may choose to take as much of his or her available sick leave or vacation leave in such amounts that when added to the temporary disability payment, the employee will receive an amount equal to his or her full salary or wage. Such supplemental payments may continue until all accrued balances are exhausted or the employee returns to work. Such payments will not be continued beyond the date of termination of employment whether voluntary or involuntary.
13.8.1. In all cases covered by the Family Medical Leave Act, the City will provide leave in accordance with the requirements of the Act.
13.8.2. Once paid leave options are exhausted, the accrual of sick and vacation leave benefits will be discontinued until the employee returns to work.
13.8.3. The City Manager (or Human Resources or designee) may grant a leave of absence without pay to any employee who is disabled by job injury or illness. The duration of the unpaid medical leave of absence will depend upon the nature and extent of the employee’s disability or incapacity to perform the essential functions of the job position, but in no event will a medical leave be granted for longer than one year, measured from the time the employee is unable to work in his or her regular job position.
13.8.4. Leave may be terminated by the City Manager when he or she determines to his or her satisfaction that the employee is permanently disabled and unable to perform CCMEA MOU 2025-2027 [17]
the duties of the class. Such determination may be considered pursuant to the California Public Employees’ Retirement Law: “disability” means the inability of a employee to perform the duties of the job for a permanent or extended and uncertain duration, as determined on the basis of a competent medical opinion. Disability is not necessarily an inability to perform every function of a given position. Rather, the determination of whether the employee can substantially perform his or her usual duties.

9.3.4 Such overtime compensation will be provided upon the approval of the employee’s Department Head and the City Manager.
9.3.5 Effective the first full pay period beginning on or after July 14, 2023 (as applicable), if an employee works four (4) or more consecutive hours following the end of his or her regular shift, then the employee will receive a mandatory eight-hour rest period.
The rest period begins when the employee is off duty and ends when the employee reports back to duty for his or her next shift. If the eight-hour rest period overlaps with the employee’s next shift, then he or she will receive paid administrative leave in an amount sufficient to give the employee an eight-hour rest period before returning to duty.
Following the eight-hour rest period, the employee is required to return to duty.
9.4 Holiday Pay. An eligible employee who is required to work on a City designated holiday will be paid eight (8) hours of holiday pay and will also be paid their overtime hourly rate of pay for any hours actually worked on the designated holiday. If the holiday falls on a day that the employee would normally work nine (9) or ten (10) hours, the employee may (1) use one or two hours of vacation, comp time, or floating holiday; or (2) work one or two hours of makeup time during the same workweek so long as his or her supervisor approves in writing prior to the workweek. Such approval must be submitted to payroll with the employee’s timesheet. When a holiday falls on an off-Friday for employees that work a 9/80 schedule, those employees will be given 8 hours of floating holiday in lieu of an extra paid day off.
9.5 Merit Plan. Effective August 30, 2009, the City implemented a merit plan under which an employee may receive a special merit pay for exemplary job performance. The Department Head must submit the name of an eligible employee to the City Manager for approval.

9.5.5 An eligible employee must have at least two (2) years of full-time continuous service with the City.
9.5.6 A special merit pay will be five percent (5%) of the employee’s base hourly rate, multiplied by the number of regular hours worked during the year immediately prior to his or her current year’s annual evaluation due date.
9.5.7 A special merit pay will be paid once, in a lump sum, as an annual premium, to an eligible employee based on the date the employee’s special merit pay is approved by the City Manager.

15 2.5%
20 2.5%
9.6.1 Effective the first full pay period after Council approval of this MOU, the 5-year longevity pay will sunset for all employees except those who (1) are receiving longevity pay at the time of the MOU approval and (2) are not yet eligible for Step 6.

13.1 Unpaid Leave of Absence. Except as otherwise provided herein, leaves of absence without pay that are in the best interest of the City may be granted by approval of the City Manager. Requests for leaves of absence without pay must be submitted in writing by the employee to the Department Head who will consider each request on its individual merits and circumstances and will forward his or her recommendation to the City Manager for approval. Reasons for rejection of any such request will be submitted to the employee by the Department Head. In all cases covered by the Family Medical Leave Act, the City will provide leave in accordance with the requirements of the Act.
13.2 Mandatory Use of Paid Leave. During any absence from work, employees must use available leave accruals in accordance with City leave policies to ensure they receive 80 hours of regular pay per pay period, unless the leave is protected by FMLA/ CFRA or workers’ compensation.
13.3 Leave Accruals While on Leave. In the event of an extended leave of absence of twenty (20) work days or more, accruals will temporarily stop until the employee returns to work.
Employees on unpaid leave (of any length) will have their sick and vacation leave accruals reduced proportionately for that pay period, unless the leave is protected by FMLA/ CFRA or workers’ compensation. Upon the employee’s return to work, accruals will be restarted at the same rate that the employee was entitled to before taking the leave, based on his or her length of service.
Employees must utilize any unused balances (i.e., sick, comp time, floating holidays, vacation) during their leave time but will not continue to accrue until they return to work.
13.4 Order of Leave Taken. Use of any accrued leave must be taken in the following order:
1) Compensatory time off;
2) Floating holidays;
3) Vacation
13.5 Leave Hours Charged to Employee. Employees taking time off will be charged eight (8), nine (9), or ten (10) hours sick/floating holiday/vacation leave depending on the number of hours the employee would normally work on that day.
13.6 Vacation.
13.6.1 Accrual Schedule. The following vacation accrual schedule will be effective on the first pay period after the effective date of this M.O.U. Leave is earned at the end of the pay period. Leave may not be used before it is earned.
CCEA 2025-2027 Page | 18
Length of Service Bi-Weekly Accrual Rate
Date of Employment thru 12th month 4.0 Hours
13th month thru 120th month 5.23 Hours
121st month & beyond 6.15 Hours
13.6.2 Utilization. Employees covered by this M.O.U. may not accrue vacation beyond four hundred (400) hours. Vacation leave may not be granted to an employee with less than six (6) months of employment, unless they have prior approval of the City Manager. Employees will be compensated at their current rate of pay when vacation leave is used, cashed out, or paid out upon employee separation. Upon termination, an employee will be compensated for unspent accrued vacation.
13.6.3 Elective Vacation Cash-Out Plan.
a. Employees have the elective option to cash-out up to forty (40) hours of accrued vacation leave once every six (6) months. An employee must have a minimum balance of 240 hours of accrued vacation at the time of the cash-out request. An employee must have used at least forty (40) hours of vacation in the previous twelve (12) month period.
b. Employees who want to cashout vacation leave must irrevocably elect to do so by December 31 to cashout the following calendar year (beginning with December 2026 for cashouts in the 2027 calendar year). The requirements for accrued leave balance and leave used will be calculated as of the date of the cashout request. Employee must earn the cashout hours in the calendar year of the cashout payment, prior to the actual cashout. Employee cannot cashout hours that were earned the year before. Cashouts will only be allowed the first pay period paid in June and the first pay period in December of each calendar year (beginning with calendar year 2027). Employee must sign a form in December of the prior year stating which cashout date they are choosing (June, December, or both) and how many hours to cashout on each of those dates. The employee cannot decide afterward to not cashout. If the employee uses so many vacation hours in the year prior to the cashout that the employee no longer has enough hours accrued to fulfill the cashout request, the City must cash out the number of hours available to be cashed out.
13.7 Sick Leave. It is the policy of the City that sick leave is not to be considered a privilege for an employee to use at his or her discretion, but is to be provided as a benefit to be used in case of necessity for an actual illness or disability. It is the responsibility of the Department Head to deny the use of sick leave with pay in cases where there is substantial evidence of abuse of the sick leave privilege.
13.7.1 Accrual Schedule. All employees, except part-time, temporary and seasonal employees, will be eligible for accrual of sick leave effective from their date of hire. The accrual of sick leave will be four (4) hours per pay period, with an accumulation limit of 720 hours. Leave is earned at the end of the pay period. Leave may not be used before it is earned.
13.7.2 Utilization. Employees may utilize accrued sick leave after their first month of employment. Sick leave with pay will be granted upon the recommendation of the Department Head in a case of the bona fide illness of the employee. Sick leave with CCEA 2025-2027 Page | 19
pay may be used for the following services: diagnostic procedures, dental procedures and ophthalmology services when performed by a duly licensed practitioner. a. The employee may be required to file a physician’s or dentist’s statement, or a personal affidavit with the Human Resources Manager stating the cause of absence before such leave with pay will be granted. After an employee has notified the City of their intention to leave City service, no sick leave will be granted for that employee unless they provide a doctor’s written statement for the missed time.
b. Sick leave applies to absences during pregnancy that are caused by illness due to pregnancy or the attending physician’s order that the employee is unable to work due to the pregnancy. All situations involving pregnancy disability will be addressed in accordance with the provisions of the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and current state Pregnancy Disability Leave (PDL) laws. A female employee, filling a regular Council approved position will be entitled to a total of four (4) months leave of absence (with and/or without pay) due to pregnancy disability as determined by a qualified medical provider.
13.7.3 After four (4) consecutive days of illness, an employee may be required to provide a physician’s “return to work” release in writing.
13.7.4 Employees who violate or misuse the sick leave provisions may be required to provide a physician’s report for each day off when sick leave is requested, and upon further misuse, the employee may be disciplined. Examples of misuse may include but are not limited to instances involving patterned absences or utilizing sick leave for reasons other than illness, medical condition or medical/dental appointment.
13.7.5 Employees returning from medical leave with work restrictions must accept light duty when offered. Failure to do so will be considered a voluntary quit and employment will be terminated.
13.7.6 An eligible employee may take sick leave in the event of a serious illness or medical condition for a member of the employee’s immediate family. The employee may be required to file a physician’s or dentist’s statement, or a personal affidavit with the Human Resources Manager stating the cause of absence before such leave with pay will be granted. For purposes of this section, immediate family is defined as:
a. A child (biological, adopted, or foster child, stepchild, legal ward, or child to whom the employee stands in loco parentis, regardless of the age or dependency status);
b. A biological, adoptive, or foster parent, stepparent, or legal guardian of an employee or the employee’s spouse or registered domestic partner, or a person who stood in loco parentis when the employee was a minor child; c. A spouse;
d. A registered domestic partner;
e. A grandparent;
f. A grandchild;
g. A sibling.
CCEA 2025-2027 Page | 20
13.7.7 In the event a scheduled medical or dental appointment for the eligible employee’s immediate family that requires the employee’s absence from work, the employee may use sick leave. Immediate family is defined as the same family members as noted above in section 13.2.6.
13.7.8 In the event of a voluntary or involuntary transfer of any employee within the City, the employee’s leave credits will also be transferred in their full amount.
13.7.9 The City has entered into an agreement with the PERS whereby accumulated sick leave is converted to additional service credit upon retirement.
13.7.10 Conversion to Sick Leave Bank. Any employee whose available sick leave accrual equals or exceeds seven hundred twenty (720) hours at the end of a bi-weekly pay period must, for the next pay period and any subsequent pay periods until the accrual is below the 720 hours, be compensated by having his or her normal accrual amount for the pay period deposited into a “sick leave bank-CCEA.” a. Use of sick leave hours from this time bank will be by approval of such procedures as are mutually agreed upon by the CCEA and the City Manager. b. Total sick leave bank accruals deposited may not exceed 1500 hours available at any time.
c. In the event the employee reaches the maximum sick leave bank accrual, no further accruals or conversion may occur.
13.8 Occupational Medical Leave. An employee who is receiving temporary disability indemnity under applicable Workers’ Compensation provisions of the California Labor Code, may choose to take as much of his or her available sick leave or vacation leave in such amounts that when added to the temporary disability payment, the employee will receive an amount equal to his or her full salary or wage. Such supplemental payments may continue until all accrued balances are exhausted or the employee returns to work. Such payments will not be continued beyond the date of termination of employment whether voluntary or involuntary.
13.8.1 In all cases covered by the Family Medical Leave Act, the City will provide leave in accordance with the requirements of the Act.
13.8.2 Once paid leave options are exhausted, the accrual of sick and vacation leave benefits will be discontinued until the employee returns to work.
13.8.3 The City Manager (or Human Resources Manager or designee) may grant a leave of absence without pay to any employee who is disabled by job injury or illness.
The duration of the unpaid medical leave of absence will depend upon the nature and extent of the employee’s disability or incapacity to perform the essential functions of the job position, but in no event will a medical leave be granted for longer than one year, measured from the time the employee is unable to work in his or her regular job position.
13.8.4 Leave may be terminated by the City Manager when he or she determines to his or her satisfaction that the employee is regularly disabled and unable to perform the duties of the class. Such determination may be considered pursuant to the California Public Employees’ Retirement Law: “disability” means the inability of a employee to perform the duties of the job for a regular or extended and uncertain duration, as determined on the basis of a competent medical opinion. Disability is not necessarily an inability to perform every function of a given position. Rather, the determination is whether the employee can substantially perform his or her usual duties.
CCEA 2025-2027 Page | 21
13.8.5 In all situations of Occupational Medical Leave, employees must comply with the City’s Work Related Injury or Illness Return-To-Work Policy.
13.9 Parenting Leave. Parenting leave will be considered leave without pay and provided in accordance with applicable federal and state laws; specifically, Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and current California Family Rights Act (CFRA) laws for the birth or adoption of a child or placement of a foster child. In the event that an employee does not meet the eligibility requirements for FMLA or CFRA, an unpaid leave of absence may be approved by the employee’s Department Head and the Human Resources Manager. Use of sick leave may not be taken for parenting leave purposes. The City will make available forty (40) hours of paid leave in lieu of participating in Employment Development Department (EDD) programs that could have provided Paid Family Leave for parenting leave purposes.
13.10 Bereavement Leave. Upon the death of a family member, permanent employees are eligible for bereavement leave for up to a maximum of five (5) working days per incident with pay. Family member means a child, parent, sibling, grandparent, grandchild, domestic partner, or parent-in-law as defined in Government Code Section 12945.2. The City Manager may grant additional time based on individual circumstances. The City Manager may approve other bereavement leave requests on a case-by-case basis.
13.11 Reproductive Loss Leave. Permanent employees are eligible for reproductive loss leave for a maximum of five (5) workdays per incident with pay. Upon the prior approval by the employee’s department head, the employee may utilize reproductive loss leave upon the occurrence of a qualifying event. A qualifying reproductive loss event includes and is limited to failed adoption, failed surrogacy, miscarriage, stillbirth, or unsuccessful assisted reproduction as defined in Government Code Section 12945.6. The leave must be taken with three (3) months of the qualifying event.
13.12 Jury Duty/Witness Testimony Leave. All employees are eligible for jury leave when called by the court to serve as a juror or provide witness testimony. Employees will receive their normal compensation so long as the City is reimbursed by the employee for juror or witness fees received. The employee must provide to their Department Head a copy of the summons, notice, or subpoena directing the employee to appear in court. On a day an employee reports for jury duty and learns that services are not needed that day, the employee must return to work for the balance of the regular work shift.
13.13 Military Leave. The City will provide military leave as required by California State Law.
13.14 Leave of Absence Without Pay. An employee will not be entitled to a leave of absence as a matter of right, but upon request may be granted a personal leave of absence without pay upon the presentation of a valid and satisfactory reason. The approval or denial of such leave is not subject to the grievance or complaint procedure.
13.14.1 An employee must request the leave of absence in writing (Time Off Request form) at least 30 days in advance for planned leave.
13.14.2 The time off must be approved by the Department Head and the City Manager before beginning the leave of absence.
13.14.3 Such leave will not be granted in excess of one hundred twenty (120) calendar days in duration, except that the City Manager, upon the recommendation of the CCEA 2025-2027 Page | 22
employee’s Department Head, may approve one subsequent ninety (90) calendar day leave of absence without pay.
13.14.4 Failure to return to work at the end of the approved leave period will constitute a separation from service of that employee as a voluntary resignation.
13.14.5 The employee will not accrue any benefits, nor will City pay for any benefits during such approved leave of absence without pay.
13.15 Unauthorized Absence – Automatic Termination. An employee absent for more than three (3) working days without prior permission of the Department Head may be considered to have automatically terminated employment with the City. Such termination will be final and without right or appeal or hearing, unless said employee furnishes reasons satisfactory to the Department Head and Human Resources for not having obtained prior permission.
13.16 Return to Work Requirements. At least one (1) week prior to the expiration of the approved leave of absence, with or without pay, the employee must notify the Department Head of the employee’s intention to return to work. Upon the expiration of an approved leave, the employee must return to work on the next following regular work day. Failure to return to work will be considered a voluntary resignation on the part of the employee unless prior approval is obtained from the employee’s Department Head and the Human Resources Manager.
13.17 Determination of Continuous Service. The length of an employee’s service will be considered continuous while the employee is on an approved leave of absence, with or without pay, and if the employee returns to work on the required return to work day. Upon re-employment from an involuntary layoff, the employee’s previously-accrued sick leave credits will be restored.
An employee returning from a voluntary resignation will not receive any credits by virtue of their previous employment towards any leave accrual or restoration.

Employees must utilize any unused balances (i.e., sick, comp time, floating holidays, vacation) during their leave time but will not continue to accrue until they return to work.
13.4 Order of Leave Taken. Use of any accrued leave must be taken in the following order:
1) Compensatory time off;
2) Floating holidays;
3) Vacation.
13.5 Leave Hours Charged to Employee. Employees taking time off will be charged eight (8) or nine (9) hours sick/floating holiday/vacation leave depending on the number of hours the employee would normally work on that day.
13.6 Vacation.
13.6.1 Accrual Schedule. The following vacation accrual schedule will be effective on the first pay period after the effective date of this M.O.U. Leave is earned at the end of the pay period. Leave may not be used before it is earned.
Length of Service Bi-Weekly Accrual Rate
Date of Employment thru 12th month 4.0 Hours
13th month thru 120th month 5.23 Hours
121st month & beyond 6.15 Hours
13.6.2 Utilization. Employees covered by this M.O.U. may not accrue vacation beyond four hundred (400) hours. Vacation leave may not be used by an employee with less than six (6) months of employment, unless they have prior approval of the City Manager. Employees will be compensated at their current rate of pay when vacation leave is used, cashed out, or paid out upon employee separation.
13.6.3 Elective Vacation Cash-Out Plan.
a. Employees have the elective option to cash-out up to forty (40) hours of accrued vacation leave once every six (6) months. An employee must have a minimum balance of 240 hours of accrued vacation at the time of the cash-out request. An employee must have used at least forty (40) hours of vacation in the previous twelve (12) month period. b. Employees who want to cashout vacation leave must irrevocably elect to do so by December 31 to cashout the following calendar year (beginning with December 2026 for cashouts in the 2027 calendar year). The requirements for accrued leave balance and leave used will be calculated as of the date of the cashout request. Employee must earn the cashout hours in the calendar year of the cashout payment, prior to the actual cashout.
Employee cannot cashout hours that were earned the year before. Cashouts will only be allowed the first pay period paid in June and the first pay period in December of each calendar year (beginning with calendar year 2027). Employee must sign a form in CECC MOU 2025-2027 [13]
December of the prior year stating which cashout date they are choosing (June, December, or both) and how many hours to cashout on each of those dates. The employee cannot decide afterward to not cashout. If the employee uses so many vacation hours in the year prior to the cashout that the employee no longer has enough hours accrued to fulfill the cashout request, the City must cash out the number of hours available to be cashed out.
13.7 Sick Leave. It is the policy of the City that sick leave is not to be considered a privilege for an employee to use at his or her discretion, but is to be provided as a benefit to be used in case of necessity for an actual illness or disability. It is the responsibility of the Department Head to deny the use of sick leave with pay in cases where there is substantial evidence of abuse of the sick leave privilege.
13.7.1 Accrual Schedule. All employees, except part-time, temporary and seasonal employees, will be eligible for accrual of sick leave effective from their date of hire. The accrual of sick leave will be four (4) hours per pay period, with an accumulation limit of 720 hours. Leave is earned at the end of the pay period. Leave may not be used before it is earned.
13.7.2 Utilization. Employees may utilize accrued sick leave after their first month of employment. Sick leave with pay will be granted upon the recommendation of the Department Head in a case of the bona fide illness of the employee. Sick leave with pay may be used for the following services: diagnostic procedures, dental procedures and ophthalmology services when performed by a duly licensed practitioner. a. The employee may be required to file a physician’s or dentist’s statement, or a personal affidavit with Human Resources stating the cause of absence before such leave with pay will be granted. After an employee has notified the City of their intention to leave City service, no sick leave will be granted for that employee unless they provide a doctor’s written statement for the missed time. b. Sick leave applies to absences during pregnancy that are caused by illness due to pregnancy or the attending physician’s order that the employee is unable to work due to the pregnancy. All situations involving pregnancy disability will be addressed in accordance with the provisions of the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and current state Pregnancy Disability Leave (PDL) laws. A female employee, filling a regular Council approved position shall be entitled to a total of four (4) months leave of absence (with and/or without pay) due to pregnancy disability as determined by a qualified medical provider.
13.7.3 After four (4) consecutive days of illness, an employee may be required to provide a physician’s “return to work” release in writing.
13.7.4 Employees who violate or misuse the sick leave provisions may be required to provide a physician’s report for each day off when sick leave is requested, and upon further misuse, the employee may be disciplined. Examples may include but are not limited to instances involving patterned absences or utilizing sick leave for reasons other than illness, medical condition, or medical/dental appointments.
13.7.5 Employees returning from sick leave with restrictions must accept light duty when offered. Failure to do so will be considered a voluntary quit and employment will be terminated.
13.7.6 An eligible employee may take sick leave in the event of a serious illness or medical condition for a member of the employee’s immediate family. The employee CECC MOU 2025-2027 [14]
may be required to file a physician’s or dentist’s statement, or a personal affidavit with Human Resources stating the cause of absence before such leave with pay will be granted.
For purposes of this section, immediate family is defined as:
a. A child (biological, adopted, or foster child, stepchild, legal ward, or child to whom the employee stands in loco parentis, regardless of the age or dependency status);
b. A biological, adoptive, or foster parent, stepparent, or legal guardian of an employee or the employee’s spouse or registered domestic parent, or a person who stood in loco parentis when the employee was a minor child; c. A spouse;
d. A registered domestic partner;
e. A grandparent;
f. A grandchild;
g. A sibling.
13.7.7 In the event a scheduled medical or dental appointment for the eligible employee’s immediate family that requires the employee’s absence from work, the employee may use sick time. Immediate family is defined as the same family members as noted above in section 13.7.6.
13.7.8 In the event of a voluntary or involuntary transfer of any employee within the City, the employee’s leave credits will also be transferred in their full amount.
13.7.9 The City has entered into an agreement with the PERS whereby accumulated sick leave is converted to additional service credit upon retirement.
13.7.10 Conversion to Sick Leave Bank. Any employee whose available sick leave accrual equals or exceeds seven hundred twenty (720) hours at the end of a bi-weekly pay period must, for the next pay period and any subsequent pay periods until the accrual is below the 720 hours, be compensated by having his or her normal accrual amount for the pay period deposited into a “sick leave bank-CECC.” a. Use of sick leave hours from this time bank will be by approval of such procedures as are mutually agreed upon by the CECC and the City Manager. b. Total sick leave bank accruals deposited may not exceed 960 hours available at any time.
c. In the event the employee reaches the maximum vacation accrual, no further accruals or conversion may occur.
13.8 Occupational Medical Leave. An employee who is receiving temporary disability indemnity under applicable Workers’ Compensation provisions of the California Labor Code, may choose to take as much of his or her available sick leave or vacation leave in such amounts that when added to the temporary disability payment, the employee will receive an amount equal to his or her full salary or wage. Such supplemental payments may continue until all accrued balances are exhausted or the employee returns to work. Such payments will not be continued beyond the date of termination of employment whether voluntary or involuntary.
13.8.1 In all cases covered by the Family Medical Leave Act, the City will provide leave in accordance with the requirements of the Act.
CECC MOU 2025-2027 [15]
13.8.2 Once paid leave options are exhausted, the accrual of sick and vacation leave benefits will be discontinued until the employee returns to work.
13.8.3 The City Manager (or Human Resources or designee) may grant a leave of absence without pay to any employee who is disabled by job injury or illness. The duration of the unpaid medical leave of absence will depend upon the nature and extent of the employee’s disability or incapacity to perform the essential functions of the job position, but in no event will a medical leave be granted for longer than one year, measured from the time the employee is unable to work in his or her regular job position.
13.8.4 Leave may be terminated by the City Manager when he or she determines to his or her satisfaction that the employee is permanently disabled and unable to perform the duties of the class. Such determination may be considered pursuant to the California Public Employees’ Retirement Law: “disability” means the inability of a employee to perform the duties of the job for a permanent or extended and uncertain duration, as determined on the basis of a competent medical opinion. Disability is not necessarily an inability to perform every function of a given position. Rather, the determination of whether the employee can substantially perform his or her usual duties.
13.8.5 In all situations of Occupational Medical Leave, employees must comply with the City’s Work Related Injury or Illness Return-To-Work Policy.
13.9 Parenting Leave. Parenting leave will be considered leave without pay and provided in accordance with applicable federal and state laws; specifically, Family Medical Leave (FMLA) and current California Family Rights Act (CFRA) laws for the birth or adoption of a child or placement of a foster child. In the event that an employee does not meet the eligibility requirements for FMLA or CFRA, an unpaid leave of absence may be approved by the employee’s Department Head and the City Manager. Use of sick leave may not be taken for parenting leave purposes.
The City will make available forty (40) hours of paid leave in lieu of not participating in Employment Development Department (EDD) programs that may have provided Paid Family Leave for parenting leave purposes.
13.10 Bereavement Leave. Upon the death of a family member, permanent employees are eligible for bereavement leave of up to a maximum of 5 work days with pay. Family member means a child, parent, sibling, grandparent, grandchild, domestic partner, or parent-in-law as defined in Government Code Section 12945.2.
The City Manager may grant additional time based on individual circumstances. The City Manager may approve other bereavement leave requests on a case-by-case basis.
13.11 Reproductive Loss Leave. Permanent employees are eligible for reproductive loss leave for a maximum of five (5) workdays per incident with pay. Upon the prior approval by the employee’s department head, the employee may utilize reproductive loss leave upon the occurrence of a qualifying event. A qualifying reproductive loss event includes and is limited to failed adoption, failed surrogacy, miscarriage, stillbirth, or unsuccessful assisted reproduction.
The leave must be taken with three (3) months of the qualifying event.
13.12 Jury Duty/Witness Testimony Leave. All employees are eligible for jury leave when called by the court to serve as a juror or provide witness testimony. Employees will receive CECC MOU 2025-2027 [16]
their normal compensation so long as the City is reimbursed by the employee for juror or witness fees received.
The employee must provide to their Department Head a copy of the summons, notice, or subpoena directing the employee to appear in court. On a day an employee reports for jury duty and learns that services are not needed that day, the employee must return to work for the balance of the regular work shift.
13.13 Military Leave. The City will provide military leave as required by California State Law.
13.14 Leave of Absence Without Pay. An employee will not be entitled to a leave of absence as a matter of right, but upon request may be granted a personal leave of absence without pay upon the presentation of a valid and satisfactory reason. The approval or denial of such leave is not subject to the grievance or complaint procedure.
13.14.1 An employee must request the leave of absence in writing (Time Off Request form) at least 30 days in advance for a planned leave.
13.14.2 The time off must be approved by the Department Head and City Manager before beginning the leave of absence.
13.14.3 Such leave will not be approved in excess of one hundred twenty (120) calendar days in duration, except that the City Manager, upon the recommendation of the employee’s Department Head, may approve one subsequent ninety (90) calendar day leave of absence without pay.
13.14.4 Failure to return to work at the end of the approved leave period will constitute a separation from service of that employee as a voluntary resignation.
13.14.5 The employee will not accrue any benefits, nor will City pay for any benefits during such approved leave of absence without pay.
13.15 Unauthorized Absence – Automatic Termination. An employee absent for more than three (3) working days without prior permission of the Department Head may be considered to have automatically terminated employment with the City. Such termination will be final and without right or appeal or hearing unless said employee furnishes reasons satisfactory to the Department Head and City Manager for not having obtained prior permission.
13.16 Return to Work Requirements. At least one (1) week prior to the expiration of the approved leave of absence, with or without pay, the employee must notify the Department Head of the employee’s intention to return to work. Upon the expiration of an approved leave, the employee shall return to work on the next following regular work day. Failure to return to work will be considered a voluntary resignation on the part of the employee unless prior approval is obtained from the employee’s Department Head and Human Resources.
13.17 Determination of Continuous Service. The length of an employee’s service will be considered continuous while the employee is on an approved leave of absence, with or without pay, and if the employee returns to work on the required return to work day.
Upon re-employment from an involuntary layoff, the employee’s previously accrued sick leave credits will be restored. An employee returning from a voluntary resignation will not receive any credits by virtue of their previous employment towards any leave accrual or restoration.
