STAFF REPORT
Date: September 1, 2026
To: Honorable Mayor/Chair and City Council/Agency Members From: Christopher R. Lopez, City Manager/Executive Director Richard Iglesias, City Clerk
Subject: Direct Staff to Begin the Review of the City’s Conflict of Interest Code

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council direct staff to review the conflict of interest code.

BACKGROUND
The Political Reform Act requires every local government agency to review its conflict of interest code biennially with the code-reviewing body (City Council) to determine whether any amendments are necessary.

ANALYSIS
Each local government agency is required to review its code at least every even-numbered year.

It is legally required that a conflict of interest code reflect the structure of the City and identify all officials, employees, and consultants who should be filing a Form 700.

Every even-numbered year, the City Council, at its Council Meeting, directs staff to review the conflict of interest code in accordance with state law, and to file the Local Agency Biennial Notice by the date provided by the Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC). The City Clerk’s Office will begin the review and determine if substantial changes to the city’s organizational structure since the last conflict of interest code (code) were made. After review of the code, the biennial notice is filed with the City Council, indicating whether an amendment is required.

If amendments to the conflict of interest code are necessary, the amended code will be presented to City Council for approval within 90 days of filing the biennial notice.

FAIR POLITICAL PRACTICES COMMISSION
2026 Conflict of Interest Code
Biennial Notice Instructions for Local Agencies
The Political Reform Act requires every local government agency to review its conflict of interest code biennially. A conflict of interest code tells public officials, governmental employees, and consultants what financial interests they must disclose on their Statement of Economic Interests (Form 700).

By July 1, 2026: The code reviewing body must notify agencies and special districts within its jurisdiction to review their conflict of interest codes.

By October 1, 2026: The biennial notice must be filed with the agency’s code reviewing body.

The FPPC has prepared a 2026 Local Agency Biennial Notice form for local agencies to complete or send to agencies within its jurisdiction to complete before submitting to the code reviewing body. The City Council is the code reviewing body for city agencies. The County Board of Supervisors is the code reviewing body for county agencies and any other local government agency whose jurisdiction is determined to be solely within the county (e.g., school districts, including certain charter schools). The FPPC is the code reviewing body for any agency with jurisdiction in more than one county and will contact them.

The Local Agency Biennial Notice is not forwarded to the FPPC.

If amendments to an agency’s conflict of interest code are necessary, the amended code must be forwarded to the code reviewing body for approval within 90 days. An agency’s amended code is not effective until it has been approved by the code reviewing body.

If you answer yes, to any of the questions below, your agency’s code probably needs to be amended.
• Is the current code more than five years old?
• Have there been any substantial changes to the agency’s organizational structure since the last code was approved?
• Have any positions been eliminated or re-named since the last code was approved? • Have any new positions been added since the last code was approved? • Have there been any substantial changes in duties or responsibilities for any positions since the last code was approved?
If you have any questions or are still not sure if you should amend your agency’s conflict of interest code, please contact the FPPC. Additional information including an online webinar regarding how to amend a conflict of interest code is available on FPPC’s website.

To: Honorable Mayor/Chair and City Council/Agency Members From: Christopher R. Lopez, City Manager/Executive Director Subject: Approve the Use of the City Logo and Add the Mayor and Entire City Council of the City of Cudahy as Signatories in Opposition to the Governor’s Wildfire Liability Package Prompted by the SB 254 Report 54 Report

RECOMMENDATION
The City Council is requested to approve signing on to the attached letter.

BACKGROUND
Through the League of California Cities, the City has been tracking the Governor’s wildfire liability reform package prompted by the SB 254 Report. As envisioned, the proposal shifts costs to taxpayers and residents resulting in consequences for public agencies. The proposal relies on the hope that public property, infrastructure, and emergency response costs can be recovered from FEMA or insurance. By limiting public agency recovery to these methods, local cities may be saddled with extreme costs creating significant financial strain.

As a result, staff recommends documenting the Mayor and City Council’s opposition to this proposal.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
There is no impact on the City’s General Fund.

RE: Opposition to Forthcoming Wildfire Liability Reform Package that Would Limit Public Agency Recovery
Dear Senate Pro Tem Limon and Assembly Speaker Rivas,
On behalf of the League of California Cities (Cal Cities), the California State Association of Counties (CSAC), the Rural County Representatives of California (RCRC), and the undersigned local elected officials, cities and counties, we are calling on you to reject efforts to limit public agency recovery when private electric utilities cause wildfires, as proposed in the Governor’s wildfire liability reform package, prompted by the SB 254 Report.

This proposal will wrongly shift costs to taxpayers and force devastating consequences on public agencies and wildfire victims already struggling to rebuild their communities.

The proposal relies on the false hopes that public property, infrastructure and emergency response costs can be recovered from FEMA or insurance. Limiting public agency recovery will only shift costs to taxpayers and leave public agencies financially stranded – or even worse, bankrupt. We strongly oppose the following reforms and urge the Legislature to reject them outright from being included in any wildfire package that will advance this legislative session.

1. Limiting Public Property and Infrastructure Damages Imperils Public Agencies Tasked with Rebuilding their Communities

The proposal will have negligent private electric utilities pay just pennies on the dollar to rebuild critical infrastructure and public facilities that are destroyed. Limiting such costs to the mere depreciated value of the public facility or infrastructure will impact the rebuilding of:
• Public facilities and buildings
• Water, sewer, roads, communication, and traffic signal infrastructure • Parks, schools, libraries, and fire stations
When a private electric utility causes a wildfire, they are required to fully compensate for property damage. Public agencies cannot rebuild damaged infrastructure on recovery dollars that only cover the depreciated value of an asset. Rebuilding public facilities and infrastructure is not a luxury - it is an essential public service for homeowners, businesses, and communities to return home.

2. Limiting Recovery for Emergency Response and Mutual Aid Forces Public Agencies to Absorb Costs and Increase Financial Risk, Waiting Years For FEMA Reimbursement While Communities Struggle to Recover
The proposal prevents public agencies from recovering emergency response and mutual aid costs from the very private electric utilities who cause these devastating wildfires and inappropriately suggest FEMA as the solution. Limiting emergency response cost recovery will be catastrophic for small jurisdictions and fracture our mutual aid system upon which the state and communities rely on. There is a federal obligation to pursue negligent parties per the Stafford Act. This will create ambiguity when negligent parties must meet that requirement and will jeopardize federal reimbursement. FEMA has strict rules on recoverability, and some events aren’t even eligible for FEMA reimbursement. Since FEMA is a reimbursement model, funds must be spent upfront.

Interpretations in FEMA change from Administration to Administration, creating uncertainty whether future relief will even be available for these incidents.

3. Eliminating Property Tax Losses Leaves Communities Financially Stranded Schools, cities, counties, and special districts rely on property taxes to fund basic needs in our communities. The proposal will financially strand public agencies by eliminating the ability to bring claims for lost property taxes. This has tremendous consequences for essential public services, including fire, police, social services programs, drinking water, public infrastructure, and drastically risks school closure.

There is no evidence in the SB 254 Report to suggest that public agency claims are unreasonable or unjustified. Public agency damages amounted to merely 4% of the total wildfire claims that utilities paid from 2017 to 2024. Public infrastructure, lost tax revenue, emergency response, and mutual aid are necessary and critical for local governments to function while struggling to rebuild their communities. If public agencies cannot recover costs from negligent private electric utilities, local taxpayers will pay more instead. The very survivors whose community burned will foot the bill which is NOT an equitable approach to socializing wildfire risk.

We respectfully request the Legislature to protect public infrastructure, safeguard emergency response and our mutual aid system, and protect taxpayers from this private electric utility bailout – and to reject the Governor’s proposal to limit public agency recovery when such utilities cause wildfires.

Staff Report

STAFF REPORT
Date: September 1, 2026
To: Honorable Mayor/Chair and City Council/Agency Members From: Christopher Lopez, City Manager/Executive Director John Xie, Finance Director/City Treasurer
Subject: Approval of the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) for the Month of July 2026

RECOMMENDATION
The City Council is requested to receive and file the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) Report for the month of July 2026 in the amount of $5,817,840.79.

BACKGROUND

1. In 1955, the Pooled Money Investment Account (PMIA) started. LAIF became part of the PMIA. The oversight is provided by the Pooled Money Investment Board (PMIB) and an inhouse Investment Committee. The PMIB members consist of the State Treasurer, Director of Finance, and State Controller.

2. In 1977, LAIF was created as a voluntary program by Section 16429.1 et seq. of the California Government Code. The program was intended to be used as an investment alternative for California's local governments and special districts. The LAIF continues today under State Treasurer, Fiona Ma's administration.

3. On July 1, 2026, the balance in LAIF was $5,761,597.49 (See Attachment).

4. In July 2026, quarterly interest earnings of $56,243.30 were posted to the account.

5. On July 31, 2026, the balance in LAIF was $5,817,840.79 (See Attachment). The reported balance agrees to the Local Agency Investment Fund account statement issued by the State Treasurer’s Office for the period. LAIF apportions interest quarterly; interest earned for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 will be apportioned by the State Treasurer’s Office in July 2026 and reflected in the July 2026 report.

ANALYSIS
The voluntary program offers local agencies the opportunity to participate in a major portfolio, which invests hundreds of billions of dollars, using the investment expertise of the State Treasurer’s Office investment staff at no additional cost to the taxpayer.

All securities are purchased under the authority of Government Code Section 16430 and 16480.4. The State Treasurer's Office takes delivery of all securities purchased on a delivery versus payment basis using a third-party custodian.

Cudahy Municipal Code Section 3.04.080 indicates, "Except as otherwise provided, no warrant shall be drawn or evidence of indebtedness issued unless there shall be at the time sufficient money in the treasury legally applicable to the payment of the same."

CONCLUSION
Once the City Council receives and files the current LAIF report, this balance may be relied upon, together with the City’s other pooled cash and subject to applicable fund restrictions, in determining whether the City has sufficient funds legally applicable to pay demands and payroll as required by Cudahy Municipal Code Section 3.04.080.

STRATEGIC PLAN CORRELATION
Strategy #2. Provide regular updates to the City Council and community about the city’s finances.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
Interest earnings of $56,243.30 were credited to the City’s LAIF account in July 2026 and will be allocated to participating funds in the pool; there is no impact to appropriations.

STAFF REPORT
Date: September 1 , 2026
To: Honorable Mayor/Chair and City Council/Agency Members From: Christopher R. Lopez, City Manager/Executive Director Brenda Rodriguez, Community Services Director
Subject: Adopt Resolution No. 26-38 approving the Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) between the City of Cudahy (“City”) and the Cudahy Miscellaneous Employees’ Association (“CMEA”) for the period of July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2028, and authorize the City Manager to execute the MOU

RECOMMENDATION
The City Council is recommended to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 26-38 approving the Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) between the City of Cudahy (“City”) and the Cudahy Miscellaneous Employees’ Association (“CMEA”) for the period of July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2028, and authorize the City Manager to execute the MOU.

BACKGROUND
The Cudahy Miscellaneous Employees’ Association (“CMEA”) is the recognized employee organization representing miscellaneous classifications identified in the City’s Salary Plan. The previous MOU between the City and CMEA covered the period of July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2025, and its terms and conditions remained in effect pending City Council approval of the successor 2025–2028 MOU.

The City and CMEA have met and conferred regarding a successor MOU pursuant to the Meyers-Milias-Brown Act. Through the meet-and-confer process, the parties reviewed existing compensation, benefits, working conditions, scheduling provisions, and administrative procedures and reached agreement on the terms presented in the proposed MOU.

The proposed MOU covers the period of July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2028. The parties have reached agreement on the provisions of the MOU with the exception of annual Cost of Living Adjustment (“COLA”) salary increases. COLA provisions remain under negotiation and are not included as part of the proposed approval. Upon reaching agreement on COLA provisions, the parties will return to the City Council with an addendum to the MOU for separate consideration Item Number

and approval.

ANALYSIS
The proposed 2025–2028 MOU maintains many of the provisions contained in the prior agreement while updating certain compensation, benefit, scheduling, and administrative provisions. Significant changes include the following:

Facility Closure. The MOU establishes an annual holiday season facility closure generally spanning December 23 through January 1. The agreement establishes compensation and leave provisions for employees who are not required to work during the closure, as well as provisions for employees required to provide essential or operational services during the closure.

Hours of Work and Temporary Work Schedules. The MOU continues to recognize a four-day, ten-hour (4/10) schedule as the normal work schedule while maintaining the City’s ability to establish work schedules based on operational needs. The agreement also establishes procedures for temporary work schedules, including first seeking volunteers, using reverse seniority when there are insufficient volunteers, and providing two weeks’ notice to selected employees.

Shift Differential Pay. Employees who work night shift hours between 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. will receive a five percent (5%) shift differential for those hours worked.

Medical Insurance Waiver/In-Lieu Benefit. Employees who waive City-provided medical insurance and provide satisfactory proof of qualifying alternate group medical coverage may receive an in-lieu payment equal to fifty percent (50%) of the monthly Kaiser Permanente employee-only premium. The payment is taxable and is not considered pensionable compensation.

Layoff Procedures. The MOU provides more detailed procedures governing layoffs, including written notice, severance, consideration of seniority and competency, bumping rights, and reemployment rights.

Grievance Procedure. The grievance process has been updated to establish a more defined review process, including review through Human Resources, the Department Head, and City Manager, as applicable, and an optional mediation process through the Public Employment Relations Board.

Health Benefits. The MOU continues the City’s medical, dental, vision, life, and disability insurance benefits, with updated language regarding employee contributions and available coverage options.

“Serving The People” "Sirviendo A La Comunidad"
Staff Report
09/01/2026 Page 3 of 4
Other Administrative Updates. Additional provisions have been revised or clarified throughout the MOU to address overtime, compensatory time, on-call and call-back assignments, educational incentives, probationary periods, substance abuse procedures, and other employment practices.

The parties have not reached a final agreement regarding COLA salary increases. Accordingly, the MOU expressly provides that COLA provisions remain under negotiation. Once agreement is reached, the negotiated COLA and an updated Salary Plan will be presented to the City Council as an addendum to the MOU for consideration and approval.

For the purposes of this MOU, all newly negotiated provisions of the 2025-2028 MOU will take effect upon approval of the Mayor and City Council.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
The proposed MOU includes provisions with both direct and potential fiscal impacts. These include the five percent (5%) night shift differential, the medical insurance in-lieu benefit, holiday facility closure provisions, and other negotiated compensation and benefit provisions.

Known costs associated with implementation of the MOU have been incorporated into the FY 2026–27 budget and future-year forecasts.

The largest remaining potential fiscal impact is associated with COLA salary increases. Because COLA provisions remain under negotiation, no additional COLA-related fiscal impact is included as part of this action. The financial impact of any negotiated COLA will be calculated and presented to the City Council when the proposed MOU addendum is brought forward for consideration.

CONCLUSION
The proposed MOU reflects the terms reached between the City and CMEA through the meetand-confer process and establishes the wages, benefits, hours, and other terms and conditions of employment for the bargaining unit through June 30, 2028, except for COLA salary increases, which remain under negotiation.

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 26-38 approving the 2025–2028 MOU between the City and CMEA and authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement.

Cudahy Miscellaneous Employees' Association - Memorandum of Understanding 2025-2028 4 CITY OF CUDAHY

MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING

BY AND BETWEEN

THE CUDAHY MISCELLANEOUS EMPLOYEES' ASSOCIATION
AND

THE CITY OF CUDAHY
This Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU” or “Agreement”) has been prepared pursuant to California Government Code sections 3500 through 3511, as amended, which is generally referred to as the MeyersMilias-Brown Act.

This Agreement has been developed at the request of the Cudahy Miscellaneous Employees' Association (“Association” or “CMEA”). The items in this Agreement are subject to the approval of the City Council of the City of Cudahy (“City” or “Cudahy”) and will be placed into effect upon the adoption of the necessary ordinances and resolutions by the City Council, if acceptable to them, in accordance with the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.

The City and the Association (hereinafter referred to individually as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties”) agree that the terms and conditions of the 2022–2025 Memorandum of Understanding shall remain in full force and effect through the date of City Council approval of this successor Memorandum of Understanding. Upon City Council approval, the provisions of this Memorandum of Understanding shall become effective prospectively and shall not apply retroactively, except for the negotiated Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA) provisions, or any other provision that expressly provides for a different effective date.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term of this Memorandum of Understanding shall be July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2028

RECOGNITION
The City hereby recognizes the Association as the majority representative of the employee representation unit consisting of the classifications listed in the Salary Plan, attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit “A”.

Nothing contained herein shall be construed to deny or prevent those employees who do not belong to the CMEA from representing themselves.

ACCESS TO WORK LOCATIONS
Reasonable access to employee work locations shall be granted to officers of the Association and the Association’s official representatives for the purpose of processing grievances or contacting members of

Cudahy Miscellaneous Employees' Association - Memorandum of Understanding 2025-2028 5 the Association concerning business within the scope of representation. Such officers or representatives shall not enter any work locations without the consent of the City or its authorized representative. Access shall be restricted so as not to interfere with the normal operations of the City or with established safety or security requirements.

Solicitation of membership and activities concerned with the internal management of an employee organization, such as collecting dues, campaigning for office, conducting elections, and distributing literature, will not be permitted during working hours.

THE SALARY PLAN
A. Annual Cost of Living Adjustment (“COLA”) Salary Increases Provisions regarding annual COLA salary increases remain under negotiation by the Parties. Upon reaching a final agreement, the Parties shall incorporate such agreed upon COLA provisions as an addendum to this MOU, subject to City Council approval as set forth in the introductory paragraphs above.

All actively employed members as of the date of approval of this MOU who were employed on or after July 1, 2025, will be eligible to receive retroactive COLA salary increases for applicable time worked. Retroactive COLA payments will be issued as a one-time lump sum within two (2) months of the date of City Council approval of an addendum incorporating the agreed upon COLA provisions into this MOU.

B. The Salary Plan
The Salary Plan (Exhibit “A”) will be amended annually reflecting any approved changes and approved by City Council as part of the annual budget approval process.

C. Eligibility for Merit Salary Advancement
Eligibility for Salary Step Increases:

1. Salary step increases shall be considered on a merit basis only, and then only at the following times, and in accordance with the subsection below.

2. All full-time appointments shall be made at the first step of the salary schedule assigned to each position’s class, unless prior written approval of the City Manager is obtained for appointments at a higher step in the assigned schedule.

3. No salary advancements shall be made so as to exceed the maximum rate established in the salary schedule for the class to which the employee's position is allocated.

Qualification for Salary Step Advancement:

1. Salary step increases shall not be automatic but, shall be based upon merit, dependent upon increased service value of an employee to the City as exemplified by recommendations of the

Cudahy Miscellaneous Employees' Association - Memorandum of Understanding 2025-2028 6 employee’s supervisor, length of service, performance record, special training undertaken, and other objective evidence.

2. Only employees rated as meeting the standard of work performance expected of City employees shall be qualified to advance to the salary steps B, C, D and E.

D. Merit Evaluation

1. Every employee shall receive an objective, written job performance rating, no sooner than five (5) weeks before, nor later than five (5) weeks after the completion of the six-month probationary period, and annually thereafter on the employee’s annual start date and/or probationary date, and upon a change of employment status. Nothing in this Section shall prohibit the Department Head or authorized supervisor from giving an additional objective rating to an employee between those periods of time described in this Section.

2. It shall be the duty of the Department Head to delegate the responsibility of every employee's rating to that level of supervision having immediate knowledge of the employee's work. An employee shall be rated by his immediate supervisor and that rating shall be reviewed by the Department Head. Employees are allowed to submit written comments or rebuttals to be attached to their evaluation.

E. Eligibility for Merit Longevity Pay
Upon approval of the appointing power, regular employees who have completed ten (10) continuous years of service may be eligible to receive merit longevity pay (“Merit Longevity Pay”) provided that:

1. The employee is at the top step of their salary range; and

2. The employee has been evaluated in the employee’s tenth (10th) year of service as “exceeds standards,” as defined by a comprehensive rating at or above the middle column of the current reporting form, or the equivalent rating on any revised reporting form. Eligible employees shall be paid, in addition to their respective regular rate of pay, a stipend of five percent (5%) of the employee's base pay rate; and after twenty (20) continuous years of service, the percentage amount of the stipend shall increase to seven point five percent (7.5%) of the employee's base pay rate.

3. As of July 1, 2023, Merit Longevity Pay will no longer be provided to full-time City employees covered by this Agreement. Any full-time employee that is currently receiving Merit Longevity Pay, or was hired on or before June 30, 2018 as a full-time City employee, will continue to be eligible to receive Merit Longevity Pay.

F. Qualification for Merit Longevity Pay
Merit Longevity Pay is to be provided as a continuing incentive to career employees, subject to the

Cudahy Miscellaneous Employees' Association - Memorandum of Understanding 2025-2028 7 limitations set forth in provision (E) of this Section. Such payment shall continue with approval of the City Manager only during such period as an eligible employee continues to “exceed standards,” as defined above. Merit Longevity Pay shall be terminated by the City Manager when the quality of service, as evidenced by the performance rating of such employee, does not merit such additional compensation.

G. Eligibility for Promotion Increases

1. Any employee receiving a promotion shall receive a salary increase equivalent to one pay range or shall be placed on the first step of the salary schedule for the class to which he is promoted, whichever is greater.

2. Any employee receiving a promotion who would otherwise have been eligible to receive a merit increase within sixty (60) days of the effective date of such promotion, shall be granted the merit increase prior to the application of provision G.1 of this Section.

H. Acting Pay
An employee who has been designated by the City to serve in an acting capacity for thirty (30) consecutive work days or more shall receive Step A of the pay range for the classification in which the employee is performing active duties, or a stipend of five percent (5%) of the employee's base pay, whichever is greater (“Acting Pay”). Service in an acting capacity shall not be used as a basis for, or in support of, a request for reclassification. The City Manager or designee may determine that a position to be filled pursuant to an acting assignment shall be filled based on a competitive process to afford an equal opportunity for internal/external candidates.

I. Out-Of-Class Pay
The City may temporarily assign employees to work out of classification. The selection of employees for an out-of-classification assignment shall be at the discretion of the City Manager or designee. A temporary out-of-class stipend of five percent (5%) of the employee's base pay shall be authorized with advance approval by the Department Head, upon consultation and approval from the City Manager or designee, when an employee is designated and scheduled to work in an out-of-class assignment (“Out-of-Class Pay”). Paid holidays shall be considered as days actually worked. Other forms of authorized leave such as sick leave, emergency leave, and vacation shall not be considered as days actually worked.

J. Compensation Study
The City commits to conduct a City-wide compensation study every three (3) years, with the next study to be completed by an outside consultant by January 2028.

Cudahy Miscellaneous Employees' Association - Memorandum of Understanding 2025-2028 8 VACATION
A. Basis of Accrual
Full-time employees covered by this Agreement shall accrue paid vacation leave (“Vacation Leave”) on the following scheduled basis:

B. Vacation Accrual
All employees shall be entitled to accrue Vacation Leave up to the amount earned during two (2) full calendar years of employment. Department Heads shall encourage the taking of accrued Vacation Leave.

If for some specific reason an employee wishes to accrue Vacation Leave in excess of the limits established herein, he/she must submit a request in writing to his/her Department Head listing this reason.

The Department Head and City Manager shall review and may grant such request if it is in the best interest of the City. The excess of the limit shall be determined by the Department Head and the City Manager. It is not the intent of this section to penalize an employee who is not able to utilize his/her accumulated vacation because of scheduling problems within the individual department.

Those employees who will have more than two (2) years accumulation of Vacation Leave on the books at the end of the fiscal year will be notified two (2) months prior to the end of the fiscal year to reduce their accrued vacation to the two–(2) year accrual maximum. At the end of each calendar year, an employee may be entitled to be paid cash in lieu of accumulated vacation time provided that fifty (50) hours of accrued time remains on the books. A written request must be submitted to the City Manager by December 1 of each calendar year indicating the amount of hours to be paid in lieu of accumulated time on the books.

C. Effect of Holiday on Vacation Leave
In the event one or more authorized municipal holidays fall within a Vacation Leave, such holiday shall not be charged as Vacation Leave, but shall be credited as a holiday.

D. Effect of Leave of Absence on Accrual of Vacation Leave The granting of any leave of absence without pay exceeding fifteen (15) consecutive calendar days shall Year of Service Hours Per Year Monthly Accrual Accrual Per pay period
0-5 80 6.7 Hrs. 3.09 Hrs.
6 -10 120 10.0 Hrs. 4.62 Hrs.
11+ 160 13.4 Hrs. 6.18 Hrs.

Cudahy Miscellaneous Employees' Association - Memorandum of Understanding 2025-2028 9 cause the employee's Vacation Leave accrued during the calendar year to be reduced proportionately for each month or major portion of a month that the employee is on leave of absence without pay.

E. Compensation for City Work During Vacation Prohibited Other than “exempt” employees, no person shall be permitted to work for compensation for the City in any capacity, except compensation for mandated court appearances, during the time of his/her paid Vacation Leave from City service. This clause shall not limit the City's right to recall an employee from Vacation Leave in the event of an emergency and place him/her on regular pay status.

F. Scheduling Vacation
An employee may take his/her annual Vacation Leave at any time during the year, contingent upon approval by his/her Department Head. An employee shall normally provide two (2) weeks’ notice in advance of the day(s) he/she is requesting vacation time off. When a family emergency arises, which necessitates the use of vacation time, an employee shall provide as much advance notice as possible considering the particular circumstances. The Department Head should consider an employee's length of service when assigning vacation periods. Vacation Leave may be taken in a minimum of thirty (30)-minute increments.

G. Terminal Vacation Pay
An employee with regular status separating from City service, who has accrued Vacation Leave, shall be entitled to terminal pay for all accrued but unused Vacation Leave in lieu of such vacation (“Terminal Vacation Pay”). No leave credit will be earned on Terminal Vacation Pay. When separation is caused by death of any employee, payment shall be made to the estate of such employee or, in applicable cases, as provided by the Probate Code of the State.

SICK LEAVE
A. Accrual of Sick Leave
Employees shall be granted sick leave with pay at the rate based on the current number of hours the employee is regularly scheduled to work during a workday (“Sick Leave”). For example, employees who are currently scheduled to work ten (10) hours during the workday will receive ten (10) hours of Sick Leave with pay for each full month of service. Any Sick Leave accrued but unused in any year shall be accumulated to a maximum accumulation of four hundred eighty (480) hours.

Sick Leave shall not be considered a right which an employee may use at his/her discretion but shall be allowed only in cases of actual sickness or non-job incurred disability, or in the event of a personal necessity, making it impossible for the employee to perform his/her normal work assignments. Sick Leave usage for personal necessities other than sickness or disability is allowed to a maximum of twelve (12)

Cudahy Miscellaneous Employees' Association - Memorandum of Understanding 2025-2028 10 days, or ninety-six (96) hours per fiscal year with advanced Department Head approval. Sick Leave may also be used for scheduled doctor, dental and optometry appointments, when advanced Department Head approval has been received.

B. Proof of Illness
In order to receive compensation while absent from duty on Sick Leave, the employee must notify his/her immediate supervisor prior to the time set for the beginning of his/her regular duties. The Department Head may request a certificate issued by a licensed physician or other satisfactory proof of illness before Sick Leave is granted. Sick Leave with pay in excess of three (3) consecutive working days shall be granted only after presentation of a written statement by a physician certifying that the employee's condition prevented him/her from performing the duties of the position. Employees shall be required to complete a leave compensation form when returning to work after utilizing Sick Leave. Violation of Sick Leave privileges may result in disciplinary action and/or loss of pay when in the opinion of the Department Head the employee has abused such privileges.

C. Effect of Leave of Absence on Sick Leave Accrual
The granting of any leave of absence without pay exceeding fifteen (15) consecutive calendar days shall cause the employees' normal rate of Sick Leave accumulation to be extended by the number of calendar days for which such leave of absence has been granted less the first fifteen (15) calendar days of such leave. Observed holidays occurring during Sick Leave shall not be counted as a day of Sick Leave.

D. Sick Leave Buy-Back
On July 1 of each year, employees may sell back at one hundred percent (100%) value a maximum one hundred twenty (120) hours of Sick Leave that they have accrued but did not utilize during the previous fiscal year (“Sick Leave Buy-Back”). This is subject to the condition that an employee must leave at least eighty (80) hours of Sick Leave on the books prior to being eligible for any Sick Leave Buy-Back. Sick Leave Buy-Back shall be based on the employee's actual rate of pay on June 30 of the fiscal year in which it was accumulated. Employees who are eligible to sell back unused Sick Leave retain the option of maintaining all or any portion of their accumulated Sick Leave on the books. Upon retirement from employment with the City, all accumulated Sick Leave is eligible to be sold back at one hundred percent (100%) value of the maximum of one hundred sixty (160) hours of Sick Leave that they have accrued but did not utilize based on the employee's rate of pay at the time of separation.

BEREAVEMENT
Whenever an employee is compelled to be absent from duty by reason of death or critical illness (where death appears imminent) of members of the employee's immediate family (father, mother, brother, sister,

Cudahy Miscellaneous Employees' Association - Memorandum of Understanding 2025-2028 11 spouse, domestic partner, children, mother-in-law, father-in-law, grandmother, grandfather, or grandchildren) such person shall be entitled to request five (5) days of bereavement leave, with pay for up to four (4) working days (“Bereavement Leave”). The employee shall furnish satisfactory evidence of such death or critical illness to his/her Department Head. Bereavement Leave by reason of critical illness shall not be allowed in any case where in the preceding six (6) calendar months, a leave on the grounds of critical illness of that same relative has been granted. An employee shall not be denied Bereavement Leave by reason of death of the employee’s immediate family member (as defined above), regardless of whether leave on the grounds of critical illness of that same relative was previously granted. Absences under this Section shall not be charged against Sick Leave.

INDUSTRIAL
A. Any employee who is compelled to be absent from duty on account of an on-the-job injury or illness which, by the determination of the Administrative Officer, would be compensated under Worker's Compensation Laws of the State of California (Labor Code §§ 3200–6002) had the absence extended to the seventh (7th) day or which thereafter is compensated under Workers' Compensation Laws, shall be entitled to receive the difference between any disability compensation due him under Workers' Compensation Laws and his/her salary, provided that such benefits shall not be paid for longer than twelve (12) months in the aggregate for any one such injury or illness.

B. Sick Leave shall not be charged during absence as set forth in provision A of this Section.

C. Neither Sick Leave nor Vacation Leave shall be accumulated during absence set forth in provision A of this Section.

D. Any employee who claims or receives the benefits provided in this Section shall furnish to the City Manager or designee satisfactory evidence of his/her right to receive such benefits, as well as verification of the amount of the disability compensation he/she has received or is entitled to receive.

TEMPORARY DISABILITY LEAVE
Upon submission of an appropriate certificate from a licensed physician, an employee may be granted temporary disability leave (“Temporary Disability Leave”). The employee utilizing Temporary Disability Leave may utilize all Sick Leave credited to him/her and upon the expiration of Sick Leave, may utilize any accrued Vacation Leave. When both Sick Leave and annual Vacation Leave credit are exhausted, the remainder of the absence required will be on the basis of leave without pay. If leave without pay is utilized, no accruals of leave or benefits will be credited to the employee. The leave without pay will constitute a break in continuous service with the City, unless the City Manager authorizes otherwise.

PREGNANCY DISABILITY LEAVE

Cudahy Miscellaneous Employees' Association - Memorandum of Understanding 2025-2028 12 Employees may continue in employment during pregnancy, subject to the City Rules and Regulations, and relevant State and Federal Laws.

An employee who is disabled because of pregnancy, childbirth, or a related medical condition is entitled to an unpaid leave for up to the number of hours she would normally work within four (4) calendar months (one-third of a year or 17 1/3 weeks) (“Pregnancy Disability Leave”). Requests for Pregnancy Disability Leave must be submitted in writing with reasonable advance notice of the medical need for the leave. All leaves pursuant to this Section must be confirmed in writing, have an agreed-upon specific date of return, and be submitted to Human Resources.

If Pregnancy Disability Leave is required, the employee shall provide a certificate in writing from a licensed physician which shall advise the City that: the employee is disabled from working by pregnancy, childbirth, or a related medical condition; 2) the date on which the employee became disabled by pregnancy, childbirth, or a related medical condition; and 3) the estimated duration or end date of the leave.

MILITARY LEAVE
Military leave with pay shall be granted in accordance with applicable State and Federal laws.

JURY DUTY
When called to jury duty, an employee, having provided at least five (5) working days written notice, shall be entitled to his/her regular compensation provided he/she deposits his/her fees for service with the City.

Employees released early from jury duty shall report to their supervisor for assignment for the duration of the shift. Employees shall be entitled to keep mileage reimbursement pay while on jury duty.

LEAVE OF ABSENCE WITHOUT PAY
A leave of absence without pay may be made by an employee who has exhausted all accrued leave balances. The City Manager may consider an extended leave of absence as a reasonable accommodation and/or whether such an extended leave of absence would present an undue hardship on the City, following an interactive process when the unpaid leave involves a serious health condition and disability , in accordance with applicable State and Federal laws. For non-medical requests, the City Manager will evaluate the nature of the request, and impact on the City, and may grant a non-medical leave of absence not to exceed one (1) year. The procedure in requesting an extension shall be the same as that in requesting the original leave under this Section, provided that the request for the extension is made no later than fourteen (14) calendar days prior to the expiration of the original leave.

HOLIDAYS
A. Designated City Holidays

Cudahy Miscellaneous Employees' Association - Memorandum of Understanding 2025-2028 13 Every employee shall be entitled to the following paid holidays each year and such other City holidays as may be designated by action of the City Council:

If the designated City holiday falls on a Sunday, the City will observe the holiday the following Monday.

C. Floating Holidays

Employees will be credited with ten (10) hours for each floating holiday that he/she is entitled to and will be charged the same ten (10) hours when he/she uses it. A floating holiday shall be equivalent to one (1) full day off and no additional compensation, or time off, will be granted. Department Head approval of floating holiday leave shall be obtained prior to its use and with no less than seventy-two (72) hours’ notice. All accumulated floating holiday hours shall be combined, accrued and labeled as Vacation Leave.

D. Floating Holiday for New Employees
Employees hired during the fiscal year shall receive a pro-rated credit for the floating holiday, described in Section A of this Section, based on date of hire.

FACILITY CLOSURE
A. Holiday Season Facility Closure
The City shall implement an annual holiday season facility closure period (“Facility Closure”) generally spanning December 23 through January 1. Specific observed dates for the Facility Closure, based on the

Cudahy Miscellaneous Employees' Association - Memorandum of Understanding 2025-2028 14 calendar and operational needs, shall be communicated to employees in advance and administered in accordance with this MOU. City offices and normal operations will resume on the next regular business day following January 1.

1. Essential and Operational Services
• Essential services and operational activities may continue during the Facility Closure, as determined by the City.
• Employees required to work during the Facility Closure shall be compensated in accordance with this MOU, including:
• Holiday pay (double time) for designated City holidays when the employee is required to work (“Holiday Pay”);
• Regular (non-holiday) compensation for days worked during the Facility Closure that are not designated City holidays under this MOU; and • Credit for Facility Closure Leave (as defined in provision (A)(2), below) equal to the hours worked during the Facility Closure, available for use thirty (30) days after the conclusion of the Facility Closure.

2. Facility Closure Leave Coverage
• For employees not required to work during the Facility Closure, the City shall cover employee compensation for all regularly scheduled workdays during the Facility Closure using a combination of:
• Paid designated City holidays (i.e., Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and New Years Day); and
• Paid leave for non-holiday, regular business days during the Facility Closure (“Facility Closure Leave”).
• Facility Closure Leave is an additional benefit; Employees shall not be required to use accrued time off or leave (e.g., Vacation Leave or Compensatory Time Off (as defined in the Section entitled Compensatory Time Off, below)) to cover regularly scheduled workdays that fall within the Facility Closure.

HOURS OF WORK
The City shall establish work schedules based on operational needs, which may vary by department, division, and assignment. A normal work schedule shall consist of a regularly assigned four (4) day, ten (10) hour (4/10) schedule, as determined by the City. The Department Head will consider requests in writing to work alternative work schedules on an individual basis, subject to the approval of the City Manager.

Reasonable requests will be approved if such modified schedule will not negatively impact the Department and City business operations. Management reserves the right to establish alternate work schedules to

Cudahy Miscellaneous Employees' Association - Memorandum of Understanding 2025-2028 15 ensure coverage of City services. If Management initiates an alternative work schedule, outside of the employee’s normal work schedule, the Association will be provided with two (2) weeks' notice, during which the Association and the City can meet and confer on the proposed alternative work schedule.

TEMPORARY HOURS OF WORK
When assigning temporary work schedules to employees, the City will adhere to the following procedures:

1. The City will first ask for volunteers to accept the temporary work schedule.

2. If there are not enough volunteers, the City shall utilize a system of reverse seniority to select employees for the temporary work schedule.

3. The selected employees will be provided two (2) weeks' notice.

ATTENDANCE
Employees shall be in attendance at work in accordance with the rules regarding hours of work, holidays, and leaves. Failure on the part of an employee who is absent without leave to return to duty within twentyfour (24) hours after due notice to return to duty has been issued shall be cause for discipline up to and including termination.

OVERTIME
It is the policy of the City to avoid the necessity for overtime work whenever possible. However, in cases of emergency, or whenever public interest or necessity requires, any employee may be directed by designated authority and is expected to perform overtime work. Under such circumstances, management will seek volunteers to perform overtime work. In the event that no volunteers step forward, a draft of employees shall take place and selection for overtime work shall be based upon seniority. All overtime work, with the exception of emergency conditions, must have the approval of the City Manager prior to the actual performance of work. Only non-exempt employees are eligible to receive overtime pay.

Except as stated herein, for all workweeks in which there is no designated City holiday that falls during the workweek or a day in which the employee is sent home due to an unexpected City closure, or by management due to lack of work or an act of God, the employee shall be eligible for overtime pay (time and one half the employee's regular rate of pay as that term is used in the Fair Labor Standards Act) for time worked over forty (40) hours per workweek (“Overtime Pay”). In a workweek where there is a designated City holiday that falls during the workweek or a day in which the employee is sent home due to an unexpected City closure, or by management due to lack of work or an act of God and is thus unable to work their regularly scheduled shift, and the employee has not taken any time off or leave during that same week (e.g. Vacation Leave or Sick Leave), the employee shall be eligible for Overtime Pay (time and one half) for time worked beyond the employee's scheduled shift(s) during that workweek, in accordance with applicable State and Federal laws.

Cudahy Miscellaneous Employees' Association - Memorandum of Understanding 2025-2028 16 A. The City has enacted a special provision internally for non-exempt employees to provide Compensatory Time Off (as defined in the Section entitled Compensatory Time Off, below) in lieu of monetary Overtime Pay at a rate of one and one-half (1 1/2) hours for compensatory time for each hour of overtime worked.

B. Exempt Classified Employees
Exempt classified Staff employees are paid a salary that reflects the full responsibility of the position, including being on-call or being called back to work, and are not eligible to receive overtime, On-Call or Call-Back pay.

C. Non-exempt Classified Staff Employees
Non-exempt Classified Staff employees may be required to be available and/or to work outside the regular schedule. The two types of status and pay related to those circumstances are On-Call (Standby) and Call-Back.

D. Overtime Pay for Saturdays, Sundays and Holidays

1. Employees required to work outside of their assigned work schedule shall be compensated at one and one-half (1.5) times their regular rate of pay for all hours worked outside of their assigned work schedule.

2. Employees required to work on a designated City holiday shall be compensated at two (2) times their regular rate of pay for all hours worked on the holiday.

E. Consent to Work Overtime
The City does not require notice to or consent from employees when scheduling overtime hours. The City shall provide an employee with as much advance notice as possible of a work schedule change in those situations where the City wants to avoid placing an employee into overtime status. This advance scheduling allows the City to avoid the overtime situation by readjusting the workday and by scheduling time off for the employee so that the employee's time worked does not exceed forty (40) hours within the workweek, in accordance with applicable State and Federal laws.

F. At the City Manager's Discretion and in accordance with applicable State and Federal laws, payment of overtime may be approved on a case- by-case basis.

COMPENSATORY TIME OFF
Compensatory time off is an alternative method of overtime payment to non-exempt employees. In lieu of paying a non-exempt employee for overtime worked, employees may be granted compensatory time off at

Cudahy Miscellaneous Employees' Association - Memorandum of Understanding 2025-2028 17 the overtime rate of one and one half (1.5) for each hour of overtime worked (“Compensatory Time Off”).

Use of earned Compensatory Time Off must be approved in advance by the Department Head or designee. The maximum accrual limit for Compensatory Time Off is one hundred twenty (120) hours.

ON-CALL (STANDBY) PAY
On-Call (Standby) status is a designated shift within any twenty-four (24) consecutive hours. Such shifts may vary in beginning and ending times from department to department, and are subject to change by administrative decision as dictated by work load needs. On-Call shift hours usually coincide with regular shift hours. Any Classified Staff employees may be assigned to an On-Call status, which requires the employee to be accessible, available, and able to report for duty if called.

Department Heads are responsible for determining the need for On-Call availability and for assigning Classified Staff employees to On-Call status. The supervisor of the employee assigned to On-Call status shall maintain a roster of all qualified employees who may be required to be On-Call. An equitable rotation policy shall be followed in requiring employees to be On-Call.

On-Call pay will be provided for assigned On-Call shifts. The minimum On-call pay per twenty-four (24) hour period shall be two (2) hours of the employee’s regular rate of pay. These two (2) hours shall not be considered towards overtime or compensated time.

SHIFT DIFFERENTIAL PAY
Any employee who works night shift hours (between 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m.) shall receive a five percent (5%) shift differential for those night shift hours worked.

CALL BACK PAY
A. Call back duty occurs when an employee is unexpectedly ordered by the department to return to duty following the termination of his/her normal shift or work prior to his/her regularly scheduled shift. An employee called back to duty shall be paid a minimum of two (2) hours compensation at the Overtime Pay rate commencing when he/she reports for duty.

B. A nonexempt Classified Staff employee who is called back to work from On-Call status or otherwise at a time not previously scheduled shall receive Compensatory Time Off as follows:
a) A minimum of two (2) hours of Compensatory Time Off (at a rate equal to time and one-half (1/2) the employee’s regular hourly pay rate) even when the time actually spent back on the job is less than two (2) hours.

Cudahy Miscellaneous Employees' Association - Memorandum of Understanding 2025-2028 18 b) Compensatory Time Off for actual hours worked (at a rate equal to time and one-half the employee’s regular hourly pay rate) if hours worked exceeds two (2) hours. c) Actual hours worked for call back purposes means only that time spent at the work site. Time spent in route to or from the work site is not included as time worked. d) Call back duty is mandatory and employee must report to work within a reasonable time frame (2 hours).
e) Employees shall be contacted for call back duty based on a rotating schedule.

C. Compensatory Time Off can only be used in lieu of pay for call back time worked in accordance with City overtime policies.

BILINGUAL PAY
A. Employees who meet the following criteria may request a bilingual pay stipend through Human Resources.
• Employees who work at a recurring and direct public contact position, and/or • Employees who are required to regularly and frequently speak and or translate to the public in a second language.

B. Requests may be made on the basis of oral translation duties only or oral and written translations.

Requests are reviewed by Human Resources to determine whether there is a need for the bilingual skills based on the employee's job duties and department head approval. If the request is approved by Human Resources, the employee must pass the examination described below:
• Human Resources is responsible for the development of examination content and rating criteria to evaluate an employee's ability to speak or write a non-English language. The examination may be administered by employees who have already been certified in that language, under the direction of Human Resources, or by an outside vendor selected by Human Resources.

C. Approved and certified employees shall be compensated with a bilingual pay stipend in the amount of seventy-five dollars and no cents ($75.00) per month for oral translation duties, and one hundred twenty-five dollars and no cents ($125.00) per month for oral and written translation duties.

Courses must be related to the employee’s current job. The City Manager or designee must approve all courses in advance in order for the employee to be eligible for the reimbursement, subject to available funds.

In order for an employee to receive an Educational Reimbursement for a course, proof of successful completion must first be furnished. In graded courses, a letter grade of “C” or better is required. In a “Pass/Fail” grading system, a “Pass” is required. In a “Credit/No Credit” grading system, a “Credit” is required for approval.

Courses from a private university or college may also be considered; however, the Educational Reimbursement for such courses shall not exceed the amount permitted for a similar course at a state college or university.

The Educational Reimbursement will be provided upon completion of coursework. Unless an employee is earlier terminated by the City, the employee must remain employed by the City for at least two (2) years

Cudahy Miscellaneous Employees' Association - Memorandum of Understanding 2025-2028 22 after receiving the Educational Reimbursement, or the employee must repay the cost based on the following scale:

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in accordance with applicable State and Federal laws, an employee’s obligation to repay the Educational Reimbursement according to the scale above shall be set forth in a separate agreement from this MOU. The City shall only require repayment of the Educational Reimbursement for a “transferable credential,” which means “a degree that is offered by a third-party institution that is accredited and authorized to operate in the state, is not required for a worker’s current employment, and is transferable and useful for employment beyond the worker’s current employer.” Any repayment agreement shall not require an employee to obtain the transferable credential as a condition of employment.

EDUCATIONAL SEMINARS
Employees wishing to further their education through short-term courses or one-day seminars (“Educational Seminars”) at the City’s expense may do so but only with written Department Head approval.

The Department Head shall consider the following before granting such approval:

1. Necessity and applicability to the individual;

2. Alternative training methods;

3. Department staffing needs and/or schedules;

4. Amount budgeted for training and education; and

5. Fiscal approval by the City Manager.

PROBATIONARY PERIOD
A. An original or promotional appointment is an at-will employment subject to a probationary period of not less than six (6) months (“Probationary Period”). The City Manager may extend the Probationary Period for any position up to an additional six (6) months or for a marginal employee who is on Probation, for up to an additional three (3) months. During the Probationary Period, an employee may be terminated at any time with or without cause. During the Probationary Period the employee's supervisor shall attempt to counsel the probationary employee on a periodic basis, prior to the end of the Probationary Period regarding his/her performance.

Cudahy Miscellaneous Employees' Association - Memorandum of Understanding 2025-2028 23 B. If the service of the probationary employee has been satisfactory to the appointing authority, then the appointing authority shall file with the City Manager or designee a merit rating including a statement, in writing, to such effect and stating that the retention of such employee in the service of the City is desired. If the services of the employee are deemed to be unsatisfactory and his/her employment is to be terminated at or before the expiration of the Probationary Period, the appointing authority shall file with the Personnel Officer a statement in writing setting forth this action to be taken.

C. All Probationary Periods shall extend to the first day of the month following the period of Probation (e.g., if an employee is subject to a six (6) month Probation set to expire on April 20, the Probationary Period will extend to May 1).

D. Rejection Following Promotion
Any employee rejected during the Probationary Period following a promotional appointment or at the conclusion of the probationary period by reason of failure of the appointing power to file a statement that his/her services have been satisfactory, or at the discretion of the employee, shall be reinstated to the position from which he/she was promoted unless charges are filed and he/she is discharged in the manner provided in the Personnel Rules and Regulations and any other rules for positions in the classified service.

LAYOFF PROCEDURE
A. Intent
The layoff procedure is intended to give consideration to both seniority and competency whenever the layoff of employees is necessary.

B. Procedure

1. Determination of need for layoff will be made by the City. Classifications to be affected and the number of employees included will be determined by the City.

2. WRITTEN NOTICE OF LAYOFF: The employee laid off shall be given written notice of layoff not less than fifteen (15) calendar days prior to the effective date of the layoff and shall be informed of their reemployment status in writing. The Association will also be notified.

3. Affected employees to be laid off shall receive two (2) full weeks (80 hours) of severance pay.

4. If an employee in an affected classification is a probationary appointment, that employee will be selected to be laid off, subject to bumping and reemployment rights.

5. Employees who have successfully completed probation in the affected classification will be ranked by 1) seniority, and 2) competency in the classification.

Cudahy Miscellaneous Employees' Association - Memorandum of Understanding 2025-2028 24 The Department Head will determine, based upon official personnel records, and/or qualified testing procedures, where applicable, the individual(s) selected for layoff in the classification. The Department Head will utilize a combination of the seniority and competence of the individual in making this determination, as set forth in the following example:

List Employees Seniority (Ranking) Competency
(Ranking)
Average (Ranking)
Employee A 1 2 (1+2)/2 = 1.5
Employee B 2 3 (2+3)/2 = 2.5
Employee C 3 1 (3+1)/2 = 2
For purposes of evaluating employees during a layoff review, all employees within the affected classification will be ranked in order of seniority. Rank “1” will be assigned to the employee with the greatest seniority, followed by “2,” “3,” and so on, until all employees in the classification have been listed. Same process will apply for competency. The highest average will be the employee selected to be laid off.

Based on the example described above, Employee B would be the employee selected to be laid off in this classification. If Employee B chooses to bump into a lower classification, they would be given a competency factor equal to the average for the new classification. In the event of equal average ranking scores, competency will be used to determine selection.

C. Bumping Rights
An individual laid off from a particular classification may “bump” into a classification for which they are qualified (qualification is presumed where the person has held the position previously with the City or where a lower position is in a normal line of promotion). After an employee is informed of an impending layoff or “bump down,” they must inform Human Resources within five (5) working days of their intent to take the option of the layoff or the “bump down.” The process will be repeated at the next classification level where an employee bumps in and creates an overage in that classification.

D. Reemployment Rights
The names of probationary and regular employees who have been laid off shall be placed on appropriate reemployment lists in order of their competency ranking, from highest to lowest. Such names shall remain thereon for a period of one (1) year unless such people are sooner reemployed. When a reemployment list is to be used to fill vacancies, Human Resources shall certify from the top of such lists the number of names equal to the number of vacancies. An employee who is reemployed shall receive credit for former service for purposes of seniority, benefit compensation, and salary advancement.

UNIFORMS

Cudahy Miscellaneous Employees' Association - Memorandum of Understanding 2025-2028 25 A. The City shall purchase uniforms for designated employees as budgeted, but not to exceed Six Hundred Dollars and no cents ($600.00) per year per employee.

B. Safety Shoe Allowance – The City shall purchase safety shoes for employees who are required to wear foot protection due to the duties or assignment of their position. The amount shall be budgeted, but not to exceed Three Hundred Dollars and no cents ($300.00) per year.

MILEAGE REIMBURSEMENT
Employees shall be reimbursed for the use of their vehicle for City business at the allowable rate per mile as stated by the IRS, in accordance with the rate in effect at the time such expense is incurred. Employees shall be reimbursed upon submittal of a monthly reimbursement form with Department Head approval.

HOME COMPUTER PURCHASE PROGRAM
The City agrees to provide an employee home computer purchase program in the form of a Three Thousand Dollar and no cents ($3,000), 24-month, interest-free loan. Employees are allowed to purchase a new computer only after the preceding loan under this Section has been paid off. The City reserves the right to determine the details and specific terms of such a program. Should the employee separate from the City prior to paying off the loan, the balance of the loan becomes due and payable immediately.

CELL PHONE STIPEND
Employees who are not issued cell phones by the City and use their personal cell phones for minimal workrelated use are eligible to receive a monthly stipend in the amount of Twenty Dollars and no cents ($20).

Employees who believe they are eligible to receive the stipend shall make a request to the City Manager for the stipend. The City Manager or designee shall then decide whether the employee is eligible for the stipend.

Employees who hold City positions that are issued cell phones by the City are not eligible to receive the cell phone stipend.

TIME OFF FOR EXAMINATION
Any employee classified in competitive service shall be entitled to necessary time off with pay for the purpose of taking qualifying or promotional examinations pertaining to positions in competitive service of the City.

SUBSTANCE ABUSE POLICY
The City of Cudahy and the Association have a vital interest in maintaining safe, healthful, and efficient working conditions. Being under the influence of a drug or alcohol on the job may pose serious safety and

Cudahy Miscellaneous Employees' Association - Memorandum of Understanding 2025-2028 26 health risks not only to the user but to co-workers and the citizens of Cudahy. The possession, use or sale of an illegal drug or of alcohol on the job also poses unacceptable risks for safe, healthful, and efficient operations. “On the job” means while on City premises, at work locations, or while on duty or being compensated on an “on call status.”
The City and the Association recognize that their future is dependent on the physical and psychological well-being of all employees. The City and the Association mutually acknowledge that a drug and alcoholfree work environment benefits Cudahy's employees and citizens.

The purpose of this section is to define the City's drug and alcohol policy as well as the possible consequences of policy violation.

A. Possession, sale, use or being under the influence of drugs or alcohol while on the job is strictly prohibited.

B. When sufficient evidence justifies a reasonable suspicion that an employee is under the influence of drugs or alcohol on the job, the City may require an employee to submit to a drug/alcohol examination, including, but not limited to, a substance screening, in accordance with applicable State and Federal law.

Substance screening means the testing of urine or other body fluids as reasonably deemed necessary by a physician to determine whether an employee has a restricted substance in their system.

1. Reasonable suspicion is cause based upon objective facts sufficient to lead a reasonably prudent supervisor to suspect that an employee is under the influence of drugs or alcohol so that the employee's ability to perform the functions of the job is impaired or so that the employee's ability to perform his/her job safely is reduced.

2. Post-accident testing under this Section shall be conducted based on reasonable suspicion as defined in this Section and shall not be automatic, unless as required by law per Department of Transportation (“DOT”) Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration Regulations (“FMCSA”).

C. Any manager or supervisor requesting an employee to submit to a substance screening shall document in writing the facts constituting reasonable suspicion and shall give the employee a copy. The employee shall be given an opportunity to provide additional facts. An employee who is then ordered to submit to a substance abuse screening may request to be represented. Because time is of the essence in substance screening, a representative must be available within a reasonable time, or the employee will then be ordered to submit to substance screening. An employee who refuses to submit to a substance screening may be considered insubordinate and shall be subject to disciplinary action up to and including termination.

D. The supervisor, or designee, shall transport the suspected employee to the testing facility. Testing shall occur on City time and shall be paid for by the City. Employee urine samples, or other body fluids, will

Cudahy Miscellaneous Employees' Association - Memorandum of Understanding 2025-2028 27 be collected and tested by a certified system which includes methods or mechanisms designed to assure the integrity of the sample. The facility used for testing shall be certified by the National Institute on Drug Abuse and comply with established guidelines for “chain of custody” to ensure that the identity and integrity of the sample is preserved throughout the collecting, shipping, testing and storage process.

E. Any positive test for alcohol or drugs will be confirmed by a scientifically sound method. An employee who tests positive on a confirmatory test will be given the opportunity to discuss the results with a physician to be designated by the City. The employee should be prepared at that time to show proof of any valid medical prescription for any detected substance or to otherwise explain a positive test result, if he or she so chooses.

F. While use of medically prescribed medications and drugs is not per se a violation of this policy, this policy shall establish that no employee shall operate a City vehicle or dangerous machinery or equipment while taking any kind of medication or drugs which are clearly marked that they may cause significant drowsiness or impair an employee's performance. An employee shall notify his/her supervisor, before beginning work, when taking such medications or drugs. In the event there is a question regarding an employee's ability to safely and effectively perform assigned duties while using such medications or drugs, clearance from a physician designated by the City may be required. The City reserves the right to send an employee home on sick leave under these circumstances.

G. Employees who struggle with substance abuse are encouraged to participate voluntarily in the Citysponsored Employee Assistance Program (“EAP”). Assistance through the EAP may be sought by an employee with complete confidentiality and without adverse consequences to his/her employment.

Employees should be aware, however, that a request for assistance through the EAP will not insulate the employee from disciplinary action already contemplated. Depending upon the facts surrounding the reasonable suspicion determination, positive test result, and/or other violation of this policy or other City/department rules and regulations, the City may refer an employee to the EAP. Such referral could, at the discretion of the City, be made available to the employee as an alternative to disciplinary action. Referral to the EAP as an alternative to disciplinary action may be subject to agreement by the employee to enroll, participate in and successfully complete rehabilitation and/or counseling program and other terms and conditions in a “Last Chance Agreement.”

1. It is the City's intent to use the EAP option for first offenders except the City reserves the right to discipline for those offenses which are a significant violation of City/department rules and regulations, or where violation did or could have resulted in serious injury or property damage.

2. Consequences of a Positive Controlled Substance and/or Alcohol Test. A covered employee who tests positive for a controlled substance and/or alcohol may be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination from employment.

Cudahy Miscellaneous Employees' Association - Memorandum of Understanding 2025-2028 28 As a result of a positive controlled substance and/or alcohol test administered in accordance with this Section, a temporary non-safety sensitive job assignment for an employee who is removed from the performance of safety sensitive duties or who is restricted from driving non-commercial City vehicles may be approved by the Department Head based on the availability of meaningful work to meet operational need.

An employee must use accrued leave time (e.g., Sick Leave, Vacation Leave) or request personal leave of absence without pay if time off from work is necessary for any treatment or rehabilitation program. The costs of rehabilitation or treatment services, whether or not covered by the employee's medical plan, are the ultimate responsibility of the employee.

PEACEFUL PERFORMANCE
Apart from and in addition to existing restrictions upon work stoppages, the Association hereby agrees that neither it nor its officers, agents, or representatives shall incite, encourage, or participate in any strike, sympathy strike, walkout, slowdown, speedup, sick-out, or other work stoppage during the life of this Agreement for any cause or dispute whatsoever, either with the Association or with any other person or organization. In the event of work stoppage as enumerated above, the Association, its officers, agents, and representatives, shall do everything within their power to end or avert the same. The City reserves its rights to exercise all available legal and equitable remedies in the event of a violation. Any employee engaging in or assisting in any work stoppage as enumerated above, or refusing to perform duly assigned services in violation of this Article, shall be subject to discipline up to and including termination. The City reserves the right to selectively discipline employees hereunder.

It is understood that violation of this Article by the Association will warrant the withdrawal of any rights, privileges or services provided for in this Agreement and/or legal action by the City of redress.

The inclusion of this Article in this Agreement shall in no way be deemed to stop the City from seeking any form of legal, equitable, or administrative relief to which it may be entitled during the term of this Agreement.

F. Withdrawal of Grievance
Any grievance may be withdrawn by the grievant at any time in writing. Withdrawal of a grievance shall be with prejudice and shall remove the right of the grievant to refile the grievance on the same set of facts .

MANAGEMENT FUNCTIONS
The exercise of the foregoing powers, rights, authority, duties, and responsibilities by the City, the adoption of policies, rules, regulations, and practices in furtherance thereof, and the use of judgment and discretion in connection therewith, shall be limited only by the specific and express terms of this Agreement, and then only to the extent such specific and express terms are in conformance with the law.

STAFF REPORT
Date: September 1, 2026
To: Honorable Mayor/Chair and City Council/Agency Members From: Christopher R. Lopez, City Manager/Executive Director Brenda Rodriguez, Community Services Director
Subject: Adopt Resolution No. 26-39 Establishing a Recreation Program Fee Subsidy Policy

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Resolution No. 26-39 establishing a Recreation Program Fee Subsidy Policy including a Resident Recreation Fee Subsidy, Recreation Volunteer Incentive Program for program-specific recreation volunteers, and Household Recreation Discount Program; and authorize the City Manager, or designee, to develop and implement administrative procedures, forms, verification requirements, and other non-substantive guidelines necessary to administer the programs consistent with the policy established by the City Council.

BACKGROUND
As part of the City's review and update of its Master Fee Schedule, the City Council considered adjustments to recreation program fees to better reflect the cost of providing City programs and services.

During discussions on July 7, 2026, and July 21, 2026, the City Council also discussed the importance of maintaining affordable access to recreation programs for Cudahy residents.

While the updated Master Fee Schedule establishes the applicable recreation program fees, the City Council expressed interest in establishing a separate subsidy structure to reduce the financial impact on residents and encourage continued participation in City recreation programs.

Based on this direction, staff developed a proposed Recreation Program Fee Subsidy Policy.

The proposed policy maintains the recreation fees established through the City's Master Fee Schedule while creating separate subsidies and incentives for qualifying participants as defined in the attachments A-C of Resolution No. 26-39.

Item Number
14A

Staff Report

ANALYSIS
The proposed Recreation Program Fee Subsidy Policy includes three components: a Resident Recreation Fee Subsidy, a Recreation Volunteer Incentive Program, and a Household Recreation Discount Program. The proposed subsidy would apply only to eligible recreation program registration fees. It would not apply to facility or athletic field rentals established by the Master Fee Schedule.

Resident Recreation Fee Subsidy
Under the proposed policy, qualifying City of Cudahy residents would pay 50% of the recreation program registration fee established by the City's adopted Master Fee Schedule. The City would subsidize the remaining 50%, subject to available appropriations.

For example, if the adopted registration fee for a recreation program is $90, an eligible Cudahy resident would pay $45 and the remaining $45 would be subsidized by the City.

To qualify, participants would be required to reside within the incorporated boundaries of the City of Cudahy and provide acceptable documentation verifying residency. Staff has developed a Resident Recreation Fee Subsidy Application as Attachment A to the proposed resolution.

Non-residents would continue to pay the applicable recreation program fee established by the Master Fee Schedule unless otherwise authorized by the City Council.

Recreation Volunteer Incentive Program
Staff is also recommending the establishment of a Recreation Volunteer Incentive Program to recognize individuals who directly support the delivery of City recreation programs in programspecific roles.

Eligible volunteer roles would be limited to program-related positions such as head coaches, assistant coaches, volunteer instructors, referees, and substantially similar program-specific roles that directly support delivery of a City recreation program. City employees would not be eligible to volunteer for roles similar to their position with the City.

Upon satisfactory completion of the applicable recreation season, session, or program commitment, an eligible volunteer would receive one recreation program registration fee waiver for one eligible participant.

For purposes of this program, satisfactory completion means fulfilling the volunteer’s assigned responsibilities for the duration of the applicable season, session, or program, including, but not limited to, scheduled practices, games, required trainings or meetings, special program activities, and end-of-season events or awards ceremonies, as applicable.

Staff would verify completion of the applicable program-specific volunteer assignment and

“Serving The People” "Sirviendo A La Comunidad"
Staff Report
09/01/2026 Page 3 of 5
establish administrative procedures necessary to administer the program, including volunteer registration, waivers, screening or background checks when applicable, assignment verification, and issuance of the recreation fee waiver. General City volunteer activities and special-event assistance not tied to a specific recreation program would not qualify. The Volunteer Incentive Program is included as Attachment B to the proposed resolution.

Household Recreation Discount Program
Staff is additionally recommending a Household Recreation Discount Program to provide additional assistance to households registering multiple participants during the same recreation season or program.

Under the proposed program, qualifying households would receive the following additional discounts:
• First participant – No additional household discount
• Second participant – $10 discount
• Third participant – $20 discount
To qualify, participants must reside at the same residential address, be registered under the same parent, legal guardian, or custodial household, and meet all applicable program eligibility requirements.

The program is intended to provide additional assistance to families with multiple participants while establishing a reasonable limit on the City's overall subsidy. The Household Recreation Discount Program is included as Attachment C to the proposed resolution.

PROGRAM ADMINISTRATION
The proposed resolution establishes the overall policy framework for the three programs. Staff recognizes that certain administrative details may need to be adjusted as the programs are implemented and actual participation is evaluated.

Accordingly, the resolution authorizes the City Manager, or designee, to establish and revise administrative forms, verification procedures, volunteer tracking processes, registration procedures, and other non-substantive implementation guidelines. The City Manager would also be authorized to approve substantially similar program-specific recreation volunteer roles and to temporarily suspend new subsidies, discounts, or incentives if appropriated funding is exhausted. The resolution reserves material policy changes to the City Council, including changes to the resident subsidy percentage, household discount amounts or participant limits, the value or type of the volunteer incentive, or expansion of volunteer eligibility beyond program-specific recreation roles.

This approach provides staff with flexibility to address routine operational and implementation

“Serving The People” "Sirviendo A La Comunidad"
Staff Report
09/01/2026 Page 4 of 5
issues without requiring City Council action, while preserving City Council control over the substantive subsidy, discount, and volunteer incentive structure.

Staff will monitor participation, program utilization, volunteer activity, and the fiscal impact of the programs and may return to the City Council with recommended policy adjustments if necessary.

STRATEGIC PLAN CORRELEATION
Goal A: Community Services
Goal B: Social Services

FINANCIAL IMPACT
Approval of the proposed policy would reduce recreation program fee revenue collected directly from qualifying participants.

Under the Resident Recreation Fee Subsidy, eligible Cudahy residents would pay 50% of the adopted recreation registration fee, with the remaining 50% subsidized by the City. Additional reductions in fee revenue may result from the Volunteer Incentive Program and Household Recreation Discount Program.

All subsidies and incentives would be subject to available appropriations. Staff will monitor participation and fiscal impacts as the programs are implemented.

CONCLUSION
The proposed Recreation Program Fee Subsidy Policy provides a framework to maintain the City's adopted recreation program fees while reducing financial barriers for Cudahy residents, recognizing program-specific recreation volunteers, and providing additional support to households registering multiple participants.

The proposed programs are intended to balance the City's cost-recovery objectives with the City Council's goal of maintaining accessible and affordable recreation opportunities for the community.

1 Comprehensive Study of Service Fees
Executive Summary
The City of Cudahy engaged Willdan Financial Services (Willdan) to determine the full costs incurred by the City to support the various activities for which the City charges service fees. Due to the complexity and the breadth of performing a comprehensive review of fees, Willdan employed a variety of fee methodologies to identify the full costs of individual fee and program activities. This report and the appendices herein identify reasonable full cost recovery for City services and the recommended level of recovery as determined through discussion with departmental staff.

The reality of the local government fee environment is that significant increases to achieve 100% cost recovery can often not be feasible, desirable, or appropriate depending on policy direction —particularly in a single year. The recommended fees identified herein are either at or less than full cost recovery.

2 Comprehensive Study of Service Fees
City Service Fee Background
Background
As part of a general cost recovery strategy, local governments adopt fees to fund programs and services that provide limited or no direct benefit to the community as a whole. As cities struggle to maintain levels of service and variability of demand, they have become increasingly aware of subsidies provided by the General Fund and have implemented cost-recovery targets. To the extent that governments use general tax monies to provide individuals with private benefits, and not require them to pay the full cost of the service (and, therefore, receive a subsidy), the government is limiting funds that may be available to provide other community-wide benefits. In effect, the government is using community funds to pay for private benefit. Unlike most revenue sources, cities have more control over the level of service fees they charge to recover costs, or the subsidies they can institute.

Fees in California are required to conform to the statutory requirements of the California Constitution, Proposition 218, Proposition 26, and the California Code of Regulations. The Code also requires that the City Council adopt fees by either ordinance or resolution, and that any fees in excess of the estimated total cost of rendering the related services must be approved by a popular vote of two-thirds of those electors voting because the charge would be considered a tax and not a fee.

California Service Fee History
Before Proposition 13, California cities were less concerned with potential subsidies and recovering the cost of their services from individual fee payers. In times of fiscal shortages, cities simply raised property taxes, which funded everything from police and recreation to development-related services. However, this situation changed with the passage of Proposition 13 in 1978.

Proposition 13 established the era of revenue limitation in California local government. In subsequent years, the state saw a series of additional limitations to local government revenues. Proposition 4 (1979) defined the difference between a tax and a fee: a fee can be no greater than the cost of providing the service; and Proposition 218 (1996) further limited the imposition of taxes for certain classes of fees. As a result, cities were required to secure a supermajority vote in order to enact or increase taxes. Since the public continues to resist efforts to raise local government taxes, cities have little control and very few successful options for new revenues. Compounding this limitation, the State of California took a series of actions in the 1990’s and 2000’s to improve the State’s fiscal situation—at the expense of local governments. As an example, in 2004-05, the Educational Revenue Augmentation Funds (“ERAF”) take-away of property taxes and the reduction of Vehicle License Fees have severely reduced local tax revenues.

In addition, on November 2, 2010, California voters approved Proposition 26, the “Stop Hidden Taxes Initiative”, which is aimed at defining “regulatory fees” as a special tax rather than a fee, thus requiring approval by two-thirds vote of local voters. These regulatory fees are typically intended to mitigate the societal and environmental impacts of a business or person’s activities. Proposition 26 contains seven categories of exceptions. The vast majority of fees that cities would seek to adopt as part of a service fee study will most likely fall into one or more of these exemptions.

3 Comprehensive Study of Service Fees
Additional Policy Considerations
The recent trend for municipalities is to update their fee schedules to reflect the actual costs of certain public services primarily benefitting users. Service Fees recover costs associated with the provision of specific services benefiting the user, thereby reducing the use of General Fund monies for such purposes.

In addition to collecting the direct cost of labor and materials associated with processing and administering services, it is common for local governments to recover reasonable support costs. Support costs are those costs relating to a local government’s central service departments that are properly allocable to the local government’s operating departments. Central service support cost was incorporated using the resulting indirect overhead percentages determined through the Cost Allocation Plan. This plan was developed prior to the fee study to determine the burden placed upon central services by the operating departments to allocate a proportionate share of central service cost.

As labor effort and costs associated with the provision of services fluctuate over time, a significant element in the development of any fee schedule is that it has the flexibility to remain current. Therefore, it is recommended that the City include an inflationary factor in the resolution adopting the fee schedule to allow the City Council, by resolution, to annually increase or decrease the fees.

The City may employ many different inflationary factors. The most used inflator is some form of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) as it is widely well known and accepted as a measure of cost of living increase.

A similar inflator is the Bureau of Labor Statistics employment cost index that has a specific series for state and local government workers. Since the primary factor for the cost of a City’s services is usually the costs of the personnel involved, tying an inflationary factor that connects more directly to the personnel costs can be suitable if there is a clear method, or current practice of obtaining said factor.

Each City should use an inflator that they believe works the best for their specific situation and needs but cannot rely solely on the CPI increase as it is incumbent upon each agency to ensure the amount of the fees charged does not exceed the reasonable estimated costs of providing the services. It is also recommended that the City perform this internal review annually with a comprehensive review of services and fees performed every three to five years, which would include adding, amending, or removing fees for any programs/services.

Study Objective
As the City of Cudahy seeks to efficiently manage limited resources and adequately respond to increased service demands, it needs a variety of tools. These tools provide assurance that the City has the best information and the best resources available to make sound decisions, fairly and legitimately set fees, maintain compliance with state law and local policies, and meet the needs of the City administration and its constituency. Given the limitations on raising revenue in local government, the City recognizes that a service fee study is a very cost-effective way to understand the total cost of services and identify potential fee deficiencies. Essentially, a service fee is a payment for a requested service provided by a local government that primarily benefits an individual or group.

The total cost of each service included in this analysis is based on the full cost of providing City services, including direct salaries and benefits of City staff, direct departmental costs, and indirect costs from central service support. This study determines the full cost recovery fee for the City to provide each service; however, each fee is set at the City’s discretion, up to 100% of the total cost, as specified in this report.

The principal goal of the study was to help the City determine the full cost of the services that the City provides. In addition, Willdan established a series of additional objectives including:
 Developing a rational basis for setting fees
 Identifying subsidy amount, if applicable, of each fee in the model  Ensuring compliance with State law
 Developing an updatable and comprehensive list of fees  Maintaining accordance with City policies and goals
The study results will help the City better understand its true costs of providing services and may serve as a basis for making informed policy decisions regarding the most appropriate fees, if any, to collect from individuals and organizations that require individualized services from the City.

Scope of the Study
The scope of this study encompasses a review and calculation of the service fees charged by the following Cudahy departments and fee groups:
 General Administrative
 Business Licensing
 Animal Control
 Parking Permit
 Public Safety
 Parks and Recreation
 Planning
 Building & Safety
 Engineering
The study involved the identification of existing and potential new fees, fee schedule restructuring, data collection and analysis, orientation and consultation, quality control, communication and presentations, and calculation of individual service costs (fees) or program cost recovery levels.

5 Comprehensive Study of Service Fees
Aim of the Report
The fee study focused on the cost of City services, as City staff currently provides them at existing, known, or reasonably anticipated service and staff levels. This report provides a summary of the study results, and a general description of the approach and methods Willdan and City staff used to determine the recommended fee schedule. The report is not intended to document all of the numerous discussions throughout the process, nor is it intended to provide influential dissertation on the qualities of the utilized tools, techniques, or other approaches.

6 Comprehensive Study of Service Fees
Project Approach and Methodology
Conceptual Approach
The basic concept of a service fee study is to determine the “reasonable cost” of each service provided by the City for which it charges a service fee. The full cost of providing a service may not necessarily become the City’s fee, but it serves as the objective basis as to the maximum amount that may be collected.

The standard fee limitation established in California law for property-related (non-discretionary) fees is the “estimated, reasonable cost” principle. In order to maintain compliance with the letter and spirit of this standard, every component of the fee study process included a related review. The use of budget figures, time estimates, and improvement valuation clearly indicates reliance upon estimates for some data.

Fully Burdened Hourly Rates
The total cost of each service included in this analysis is primarily based on the Fully Burdened Hourly Rates (FBHRs) that were determined for City personnel directly involved in providing services. The FBHRs include not only personnel salary and benefits, but also any costs that are reasonably ascribable to personnel. The cost elements that are included in the calculation of fully burdened rates are:
 Salaries & benefits of personnel involved
 Operating costs applicable to fee operations
 Departmental support, supervision, and administration overhead  Indirect City-wide overhead costs calculated through the Cost Allocation Plan An important factor in determining the fully burdened rate is in the calculation of productive hours for personnel. This calculation takes the available workable hours in a year of 2,080 and adjusts this figure to account for calculated or anticipated hours’ employees are involved in non-billable activities such as paid vacation, sick leave, emergency leave, holidays, and other considerations as necessary. Dividing the full cost by the number of productive hours provides the FBHR.

The FBHRs are then used in conjunction with time estimates, when appropriate, to calculate a fees' cost based on the personnel and the amount of their time that is involved in providing each service.

7 Comprehensive Study of Service Fees
Summary Steps of the Study
The methodology to evaluate most service fee levels is straightforward and simple in concept. The following list provides a summary of the study process steps:

Allowable Costs
This report identifies three types of costs that, when combined, constitute the fully burdened cost of a service (Appendix A). Costs are defined as
direct labor, including salary and benefits,
departmental overhead costs, and the City’s
central services overhead, where
departmental and central service overhead
costs constitute support costs. These cost
types are defined as follows:
 Direct Labor (Personnel Costs): The
costs related to staff salaries for
time spent directly on fee-related
services.
 Departmental Overhead: A
proportional allocation of
departmental overhead costs,
including operation costs such as
supplies and materials that are necessary for the department to function.  Central Services Overhead: These costs, detailed in the City’s Cost Allocation Plan, represent services provided by those Central Services Departments whose primary function is to support other City departments.

8 Comprehensive Study of Service Fees
Methodology
The two methods of analysis for calculating fees used in this report are the:

Case Study Method (Standard Unit Cost Build-Up Approach): This approach estimates the actual labor and material costs associated with providing a unit of service to a single user. This analysis is suitable when City staff time requirements do not vary dramatically for a service, or for special projects where the time and cost requirements are easy to identify at the project’s outset. Further, the method is effective in instances when a staff member from one department assists on an application, service or permit for another department on an as-needed basis. Costs are estimated based upon interviews with City staff regarding the time typically spent on tasks, a review of available records, and a time and materials analysis.

Programmatic Approach: In some instances, the underlying data is not available or varies widely, leaving a standard unit cost build-up approach impractical. In addition, market factors and policy concerns (as opposed to actual costs) tend to influence fee levels more than other types of services. Willdan employed a different methodology where appropriate to fit the programs’ needs and goals. Typical programmatic approach cases are facility use fees, penalties, and instances where a program cost is divided over the user base to obtain a per applicant cost for shared cost services.

Quality Control/Quality Assurance
All study components are interrelated, thus flawed data at any step in the process will cause the ultimate results to be inconsistent and unsound. The elements of our Quality Control process for service fee calculations include:
 Involvement of knowledgeable City staff
 Clear instructions and guidance to City staff
 Reasonableness tests and validation
 Normalcy/expectation ranges
 FTE balancing
 Internal and external reviews
 Cross-checking
Reasons for cost increases/decreases over current fees
Within the fee tables in Appendix C, the differences identified between the full costs calculated through the study and the fee levels currently in effect. The reasons for differences between the two can arise from a number of possible factors including:
 Previous fee levels may have been set at levels less than full cost intentionally, based on policy decisions
 Staffing levels and the positions that complete fee and service activity may vary from when the previous costs were calculated

9 Comprehensive Study of Service Fees
 Personnel and materials costs could have increased at levels that differed from any inflationary factors used to increase fees since the last study
 Costs that this study has identified as part of the full cost of services may not have been accounted for in a previous study
o Departmental overhead and administration costs
o Indirect overhead from the Cost Allocation Plan
 Changes in processes and procedures within a department, or the City as a whole City Staff Contributions
As part of the study process, Willdan received tremendous support and cooperation from City staff, which contributed and reviewed a variety of components to the study, including:
 Budget and other cost data
 Staffing structures
 Fee and service structures, organization, and descriptions  Direct and indirect work hours (billable/non-billable)  Time estimates to complete work tasks
 Review of draft results and other documentation
A service fee study requires significant involvement of the managers and line staff from the departments— on top of their existing workloads and competing priorities. The contributions from City staff were critical to this study. We would like to express our appreciation to the City and its staff for their assistance, professionalism, positive attitudes, helpful suggestions, responsiveness, and overall cooperation.

10 Comprehensive Study of Service Fees
Cudahy Service Fees
Cost Recovery
The cost recovery models, by department/division fee type, are presented in detail in Appendix C. Full cost recovery is determined by summing the estimated amount of time each position (in increments of minutes or hours) spends to render a service. Time estimates for each service rendered were predominately determined by Willdan and City Staff through a time and materials survey conducted for each department/division fee included in the study. The resulting cost recovery amount represents the total cost of providing each service. The City’s current fee being charged for each service, if applicable, is provided in this section, as well, for reference.

It is important to note that the time and materials survey used to determine the amount of time each employee spends assisting in the provision of the services listed on the fee schedule is essential in identifying the total cost of providing each service. Specifically, in providing services, a number of employees are often involved in various aspects of the process, spending anywhere from a few minutes to several hours on the service.

The principal goal of this study was to identify the cost of City services, to provide information to help the City make informed decisions regarding the actual fee levels and charges. The responsibility to determine the final fee levels is a complicated task. City staff must consider many issues in formulating recommendations, and the City Council must consider those same issues and more in making the final decisions.

City staff assumes the responsibility to develop specific fee level recommendations to present to the City Council. Unfortunately, there are no hard and fast rules to guide the City, since many of the considerations are based on the unique characteristics of the City of Cudahy and administrative and political discretion.

However, in setting the level of full cost recovery for each fee, one should consider whether the service solely benefits one end user or the general community.

Subsidization
Recalling the definition of a service fee helps guide decisions regarding subsidization. The general standard is that individuals (or groups) whom receive a wholly private benefit should pay 100% of the full cost of the services. In contrast, services that are simply public benefit should be funded entirely by the general fund’s tax dollars. Unfortunately, for the decision makers, many services fall into the range between these two extremes. The graphic on the following page illustrates the potential decision basis.

Further complicating the decision, opponents of fees often assert that the activities subject to the fees provide economic, cultural, “quality of life,” or other community benefits that exceed the costs to the City.

It is recommended the City consider such factors during its deliberations regarding appropriate fee levels.

Of course, subsidization can be an effective public policy tool, since it can be used to reduce fees to encourage certain activities (such as compliance inspections to ensure public safety) or allow some people to be able to afford to receive services they otherwise could not at the full cost. In addition, subsidies can

11 Comprehensive Study of Service Fees
be an appropriate and justifiable action, such as to allow citizens to rightfully access services, without burdensome costs.

Despite the intent, it is important for the City and public to understand that subsidies must be covered by another revenue source, such as the General Fund. Therefore, the general taxpayer will potentially help to fund private benefits, and/or other City services will not receive funds that are otherwise directed to cover subsidies.

Impact on Demand (Elasticity)
Economic principles of elasticity suggest that increased costs for services (higher fees) will eventually curtail the demand for the services; whereas lower fees may spark an incentive to utilize the services and encourage certain actions. Either of these conditions may be a desirable effect to the City. However, the level of the fees that would cause demand changes is largely unknown. The Cost of Service Study did not attempt to evaluate the economic or behavioral impacts of higher or lower fees; nevertheless, the City should consider the potential impacts of these issues when deciding on fee levels.

Summary
If the City’s principal goal of this study were to maximize revenues from service fees, Willdan would recommend setting service fees at 100% of the full cost identified in this study. However, we understand that revenue enhancement is not the only goal of a cost of service study, and sometimes full-cost recovery is not needed, desired, or appropriate. Other City and departmental goals, City Council priorities, policy initiatives, past experience, implementation issues, and other internal and external factors may influence staff recommendations and City Council decisions. In this case, the proper identification of additional services (new or existing services) and creation of a consistent and comprehensive fee schedule was the primary objective of this study. City staff has reviewed the full costs and identified the “recommended fee levels” for consideration by City Council. The attached appendices exhibit these unit fees individually.

The preceding sections provide background for each department or division and the results of this study’s analysis of their fees. For the full list of each fee’s analysis, refer to Appendix C of this report.

12 Comprehensive Study of Service Fees
General Administrative
The Office of the City Clerk is responsible for legislative proceedings, elections, records management, and public records including agenda and minutes. The Office of the City Clerk is committed to quality customer service, maintaining public records and upholding democratic principles through: Ensuring the legislative process, including City elections, City Council and commission meetings, are open and public; Providing access to complete and accurate public information; Working together to ensure the City Council, City Manager and City staff serve the community with openness and integrity.

Analysis
Willdan individually reviewed the services associated with General Administrative. The review also consisted of an evaluation of existing services in an effort to update the fee schedule.

The services included within General Administrative consist of a yard sale permit fee, duplication fees, and others set by the State. Staff is not recommending any changes to the fee schedule as detailed in Appendix C .

13 Comprehensive Study of Service Fees
Business Licensing
The Business Licensing Division ensures that individual and organization conducting business or performing a service within the City boundaries are issued a license in accordance with City regulations.

Analysis
Willdan individually reviewed the services associated with the Business License Division that qualify as service fees. The review also consisted of an evaluation of existing services in an effort to update the fee schedule.

The analysis of Business License service fees relied primarily upon a standard unit cost build-up approach, whereby we determined the reasonable cost of each fee occurrence using staff time to recover the direct cost of staff and pro-rata share of departmental costs, including indirect costs for City Central Services.

Willdan then compared the calculated full cost against the current fee amount to determine, if charged, whether the current fee is recovering costs associated with the requested service. The analysis found that current service fees are not in line with the cost of providing services. Based on feedback from Council, staff is recommending the fees be adjusted with increases to take effect January 2027 and the suggested fee amounts being recommended are detailed in Appendix C. As a result, there would be:
 An increase for 6 fees implemented in January of 2027;  2 fees would decrease, and;
 The remaining 86 licenses and penalties would remain as currently set.

14 Comprehensive Study of Service Fees
Animal Control
The County of Los Angeles Department of Animal Control provides a variety of services to the community that include an annual vaccination clinic that is free of charge to the residents of the City of Cudahy where free micro-chip services are also available on site.

Analysis
Animal Control services are provided by the County of Los Angeles Department of Animal Control, and the associated fees are established by the County. No analysis was done to the Animal Control services and fee levels remain unchanged as detailed in Appendix C.

15 Comprehensive Study of Service Fees
Parking Permit
City residents may request that a permit for overnight vehicle parking in accordance with the Pilot Program be issued for a specific vehicle and dwelling unit.

Analysis
Willdan individually reviewed the services associated with Parking Permits. The review also consisted of an evaluation of existing services in an effort to update the fee schedule.

An overall program cost analysis for the Parking Permit program was performed and determined that the program is currently operating at around 71% direct cost recovery. Based on feedback from the Council, staff is recommending no changes to the fee schedule and for all 3 fees to remain as currently set, as detailed in Appendix C.

16 Comprehensive Study of Service Fees
Public Safety
The Public Safety and Services Department works to reduce and eliminate blight throughout the community, enforce the Cudahy Municipal Code, increase public safety, as well as maintain the City’s parks and streets.

Analysis
Willdan individually reviewed the services associated with the Public Safety and Services Department. The review also consisted of an evaluation of existing services in an effort to update the fee schedule.

The analysis of Public Safety Services relied primarily upon a standard unit cost build-up approach, whereby we determined the reasonable cost of each fee occurrence using staff time to recover the direct cost of staff and the pro-rata share of departmental costs, including indirect costs for City Central Services. The analysis found that the current fees are subsidizing the cost of service. Based on feedback from Council, staff have suggested reasonable fee adjustments as detailed in Appendix C for each specific fee, but they would still retain some level of subsidy. As a result, there would be:
 An increase to the Vehicle Impound Release Fee Related to DUI;  3 fees would remain as currently set;
 the average estimated fee change would be an increase of around 16%, and;  The Vehicle and Parking Violation fees would increase by CPI (3.397%):
o The fee for No Overnight Parking 12am – 6am plus penalties would increase by an average of 51%.

17 Comprehensive Study of Service Fees
Parks and Recreation
The Parks and Recreation department provides the resources necessary to maintain the City's public parks and facilities and offers quality recreation and human services programs ranging from children to senior citizen support.

Analysis
Willdan individually reviewed the services associated with the Parks and Recreation Department. The review also consisted of an evaluation of existing services in an effort to update the fee schedule.

The analysis of most Parks and Recreation programs encompassed facility rentals and other associated recreation services. The fee for use of government owned facilities and property can be set discretionally by the City per Proposition 26 based on market or policy factors. The cost of acquisition, maintenance, repair, and upgrade to the City and subsequently the community can be offset by rental or facility use fee revenue. As such fees should be set using the knowledge of activity use for the facilities, policy desires of the City, and market factors when desirable. It is generally accepted that some Recreation programs provide a measure of public benefit to the residents and City as a whole. In addition, cities generally want to ensure that their programs and services remain affordable to the community at large, and that the programs remain competitive with surrounding jurisdictions and private businesses. An overall program cost analysis for Parks and Recreation was also performed and determined that the department is currently operating at around 7% direct cost recovery. Based on feedback from Council, staff have suggested reasonable fee adjustments to the fee schedule for non-residents, and they are detailed in Appendix C.

Non-Resident Fees:
 An increase to 29 fees,
 34 fees would remain as currently set, and;
 The average fee change would be an increase of 103% for current fees. o Rental base fees would be increased by 150%
o Staff time fees would be normalized at $18.75
o Programming fees would be set at $90
Resident Fees:
 Staff will be bringing a separate resolution for Council’s consideration to establish larger subsidies for residents than is being recommended for non-residents.

18 Comprehensive Study of Service Fees
Planning
The Planning Department is responsible for implementing the City's General Plan and Zoning Code which regulates the type and land uses within the City. Planning assists in guiding the orderly development of the community and ensures that new development is attractive and compatible with the surroundings and consistent with the City's codes and policies. The Department also reviews and processes development entitlement applications for compliance with zoning and subdivision regulations as well as conditional use permits. Planning staff provides technical and administrative support to the City Council and Planning Commission.

Analysis
Willdan individually reviewed the services associated with the Planning Department. The review also consisted of an evaluation of existing services in an effort to update the fee schedule.

The analysis of Planning Services relied primarily upon a standard unit cost build-up approach, whereby we determined the reasonable cost of each fee occurrence using staff time to recover the direct cost of staff and the pro-rata share of departmental costs, including indirect costs for City Central Services. The analysis found that most Planning fees are currently set below the full cost of providing the service. Based on feedback from Council, staff have suggested increasing fees to full cost recovery as detailed in Appendix C. As a result, there would be:
 an increase to 13 fees and deposits (5 fees would change from a deposit to a flat fee);  5 fees would decrease (2 fees would change from a deposit to a flat fee);  37 new fees would be added;
 5 fees would remain as currently set, and;
 The average estimated fee change would be an increase of 6% for existing flat and deposit-based services.

19 Comprehensive Study of Service Fees
Building & Safety and Engineering
The Building and Safety Department is responsible for the enforcement of building, plumbing, electrical and mechanical codes. It also enforces ordinances and codes to ensure that buildings are safe by providing inspection services and plan check for new construction.

The Engineering Division reviews and approves project plans, subdivision maps, designs, technical reports and calculations of private developments, planning programs and Agency projects to ensure compliance with the Subdivision Map Act and incorporation of City requirements. It recommends, plans, develops, prepares, manages, and provides technical guidance with the development of strategic short and long range implementation of the City’s Capital Improvement Program.

The division is also involved with design, inspection and supervision of Public Works projects including streets, sidewalks, parks and municipal facilities as well as the procurement and administration of transportation grants and funds.

Analysis
The service fee schedule utilized by the Building & Safety Department and Engineering Division is that developed and regularly updated by Los Angeles County. An overall program cost analysis for Building & Safety and Engineering services was also performed and determined that they are currently operating at around 42% direct cost recovery. The Building & Safety and Engineering services and fee levels remain unchanged as detailed in Appendix C and are based on Los Angeles County’s fee schedule.

Appendix A – Total Allowable Cost to be Recovered
Below are the total allowable costs that may be recovered through service fees; however, only a percentage of the total cost is realized as staff doesn’t just work on services related to service fees, but also works on an array of other City functions during the operational hours of the City. The amounts listed below will not reconcile to City budgets as costs that should not be included in overhead for personnel in the application of determining fully burdened hourly rates were excluded. Examples of these costs are capital, debt, monetary transfers, passthrough contract costs, and any other costs that is charged directly to the service requestor.

Appendix B – Fully Burdened Hourly Rates
Below are fully burdened hourly rates of staff positions that provide for the services detailed in Appendix C. The FBHRs were used to determine the full cost of each service. They include the salary and benefit costs for each position as well as all applicable overhead amounts for each position. For positions in central service departments, such as the City Clerk and Finance, what is shown is the salary and benefit rate only, as the overhead of central service departments is recovered through the cost allocation plan. When a central service department position works on a fee or project in the purview of an operating department, the overhead rates of the operating department (shown in Appendix A) will be applied to that central service positions’ salary and benefit rate for full cost recovery. For any fee service request that is outside the scope of the fees detailed in Appendix C, or for services for which there is no fee currently set, the City can charge up to the full cost of the FBHR for personnel involved.
