CITY COUNCIL REPORT
City Council Regular 3.

FROM: Matt Burton, Director of Finance and Administrative Services DATE: 06/10/2024
SUBJECT: Adopt the Fiscal Year 2024-25 Appropriations Limit

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution establishing the City's Fiscal Year 2024-25 appropriations limit.

SUMMARY
In 1979, Proposition 4, known as the Gann Initiative, added Article XIIIB to the State Constitution. The Gann Initiative, combined with modifications made in 1990 by Proposition 111, limits the annual growth of tax-funded government spending to changes in population and inflation. The City's appropriations limit, also known as the "Gann limit", is required to be adopted annually by the City Council.

DISCUSSION
The appropriations limit applies only to revenues derived from certain taxes, such as property taxes, sales taxes, etc., and is based on actual FY 1986-87 appropriations adjusted each year for inflation and population growth. The inflation factor is either the percentage change in California’s Per Capita Income or the growth in the City’s assessed value due to the addition of non-residential new construction. The population factor is the growth in either the City’s or the County’s population, whichever is greater.

The FY 2024-25 appropriations limit was calculated in accordance with these guidelines utilizing the factors provided by the State Department of Finance. For the inflation factor, the growth in per capita personal income was greater than the growth in assessed valuation from non-residential new construction (3.62%, compared to 1.36%), therefore, the growth in personal income was used. This year, the County's population grew at a slightly higher rate than the City (0.31% compared to 0.11% for the City), therefore, the Countys factor was used in the calculation.

The limit is calculated as shown below.

Appropriations Limit (3.62%) (0.31%) Appropriations Limit $101,128,979 x 1.0362 x 1.0031 $105,114,697
For FY 2024-25, the City’s appropriations limit will be $105,114,697. The FY 2024-25 proposed budget for City funds, scheduled for adoption on June 10, includes $35.7 million of tax proceeds. Therefore, the City will remain well below the statutory limit for the upcoming fiscal year.

None.

City Council Regular 4.

FROM: Matt Burton, Director of Finance and Administrative Services DATE: 06/10/2024
SUBJECT: Adopt the Cypress Recreation and Park District's Fiscal Year 2024-25 Appropriations Limit

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution establishing the Cypress Recreation and Park District's Fiscal Year 2024-25 appropriations limit.

SUMMARY
In 1979, Proposition 4, known as the Gann Initiative, added Article XIIIB to the State Constitution. The Gann Initiative, combined with modifications made in 1990 by Proposition 111, limits the annual growth of tax-funded government spending to changes in population and inflation. The Cypress Recreation and Park District's appropriations limit, also known as the "Gann limit", is required to be adopted annually by the City Council, acting as the ex-officio Board of Directors of the District.

DISCUSSION
The appropriations limit applies to revenues derived from taxes, which for the District only includes property taxes, and is based on actual FY 1986-87 appropriations adjusted each year for inflation and population growth. The inflation factor is either the percentage change in California’s Per Capita Income or the growth in the District's assessed valuation due to the addition of non-residential new construction. The population factor is the growth in either the District's or the County’s population, whichever is greater.

The FY 2024-25 appropriations limit was calculated in accordance with these guidelines utilizing the factors provided by the State Department of Finance. For the inflation factor, the growth in per capita personal income was greater than the growth in assessed valuation due to non-residential new construction (3.62% compared to 1.36%), therefore, the growth in per capita personal income was used. This year, the County's population grew at a slightly higher rate than the District (0.31% compared to 0.11% for the District), therefore, the County's factor was used in the calculation.

FROM: Matt Burton, Director of Finance and Administrative Services DATE: 06/10/2024
SUBJECT: Adopt Annual Statement of Investment Policy

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution approving the Annual Statement of Investment Policy.

DISCUSSION
The City Council’s investment philosophy is designed to ensure funds are always safe and available when needed. The Annual Statement of Investment Policy (policy) clearly states the policies and procedures for the prudent investment of the City’s cash. It outlines investment-related activities which represent an effective cash management and short-term investment plan.

The existing policy continues to be consistent with the City’s investment objectives. As a result, there are no substantive changes to the attached investment policy. The only modification is the removal of the Successor Agency to the dissolved Cypress Redevelopment Agency from the scope of funds to which the policy applies. The Successor Agency was dissolved in early 2023 and no longer has any cash balances to consider for investment.

BUDGET IMPACT
None.

STATEMENT OF INVESTMENT POLICY
Fiscal Year 2024-25
3 PURPOSE
This purpose of this policy is to provide guidelines for the prudent investment of unexpended funds to maximize security while meeting daily cash flow demands and providing a market rate of return. The investment practices and policies are based on compliance with State law and prudent money management principles.

SCOPE
This Statement of Investment Policy (Policy) covers all funds under the City’s control including the Cypress Recreation and Park District collectively referred to herein as the City’s investment portfolio, or portfolio.

This Policy also applies to any bond proceeds. If a bond's trust agreement is more restrictive than this Policy, then the trust agreement supersedes this Policy. The City may delegate its investment responsibility to the fiscal agent to ensure compliance with the bond covenants when managing bond proceeds. Borrowing money solely for the purpose of investing and earning arbitrage is specifically prohibited.

The Public Agencies Post-Employment Benefits Trust (PARS Trust) is managed under separate investment goals, objectives, and management policies, and as such is specifically excluded from this policy. Additional information can be found in the Investment Guidelines Document for the PARS Trust.

PRUDENCE
The City strives to maintain the level of investment of all idle funds as near 100% as possible. All temporarily pooled idle cash is invested under the Prudent Investor Standard, as set forth in California Government Code Section 53600.3:
"…all governing bodies of local agencies or persons authorized to make investment decisions on behalf of those local agencies investing public funds pursuant to this chapter are trustees and therefore fiduciaries subject to the prudent investor standard. When investing, reinvesting, purchasing, acquiring, exchanging, selling, or managing public funds, a trustee shall act with care, skill, prudence, and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing, including, but not limited to, the general economic conditions and the anticipated needs of the agency, that a prudent person acting in a like capacity and familiarity with those matters would use in the conduct of funds of a like character and with like aims, to safeguard the principal and maintain the liquidity needs of the agency. Within the limitations of this section and considering individual investments as part of an overall strategy, investments

4 may be acquired as authorized by law.”

OBJECTIVE
The primary objectives, in priority order, of the City’s investment activities shall be:
a. Safety - The safety and risk associated with an investment refers to the potential loss of principal, interest or a combination of these amounts.

The City will undertake investments in a manner that seeks to ensure the preservation of capital in the overall portfolio.
b. Liquidity - This refers to the ability to "cash in" at any moment in time with a minimal chance of losing some portion of principal or interest.

The City will maintain sufficient cash and short-term investment instruments which, together with projected revenues, will provide sufficient liquidity to meet all operating requirements as well as unanticipated needs for funds.
c. Return on Investments (Yield) – Yield is the income returned on investments. The Portfolio will be designed with the objective to attain a market rate of return throughout budgetary and economic cycles, commensurate with the City’s investment risk constraints and cash flow requirements.

DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY
The City Council, pursuant to California Government Code Section 53601, has primary responsibility for the investment of surplus monies. As authorized under Section 53607, the City Council hereby delegates its authority to invest surplus City funds to the City Treasurer and the Finance Manager. This delegation of authority shall be in effect for one fiscal year. The City Council may renew the authority annually and may revoke the authority at any time.

ETHICS AND CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
Officers and employees involved in the investment process shall refrain from personal business activity that could conflict with proper execution of the investment program or which could impair their ability to make impartial investment decisions. Officials, staff members and investment consultants shall disclose to the City Manager any material financial interests with a financial institution, provider, dealer or broker that conducts business with the City. Officials, staff members and investment consultants will further disclose any personal financial position that could be related to the City’s cash and investment portfolio.

STATEMENT OF INVESTMENT POLICY
Fiscal Year 2024-25
7 h) Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF)
LAIF is a voluntary investment program administered by the California State Treasurer and overseen by the Local Investment Advisory Board. It allows local agencies to invest in a major portfolio while maintaining highly liquid investments. The City may invest in LAIF up to the maximum permitted by State law.
i) Investment Trust of California (CalTRUST)
CalTRUST is a Joint Powers Authority created by local public agencies to deposit funds for investment. CalTRUST is governed by a Board of Trustees made up of experienced local agency treasurers and investment officers.

There is no minimum investment, nor is there a maximum investment imposed by CalTRUST, however, the City has established a maximum of $50 million.

Shares of money market mutual funds as described in Government Code Section 53601(l). The total investment in money market mutual funds shall not exceed 20% of the portfolio at the time of purchase. No more than 10% of the portfolio may be invested in any one mutual fund.

The Treasurer shall report to the City Council any major and critical incidences of noncompliance identified through the portfolio review.

CITY OF CYPRESS

STATEMENT OF INVESTMENT POLICY
Fiscal Year 2024-25
8 If the credit rating of a security in the portfolio is downgraded, the City Treasurer and Finance Manager will monitor the credit risk and evaluate the need to sell the security prior to maturity. When selling securities prior to maturity, losses are only acceptable if (1) the proposed swap/trade can clearly enhance yield (value) over the life of the new security on a total return basis, or (2) to prevent the further loss of principal. Sufficient written documentation to facilitate the audit of the transaction must be maintained. Under Section 53601.6 of the California Government Code, the City may hold prohibited investments until their maturity to avoid incurring a loss. This allows the City to "grandfather" in securities purchased prior to a downgrade or the effective date of new legislation.

INVESTMENT POOLS/MUTUAL FUNDS
The Treasurer shall be required to research all investment pools and mutual funds prior to investing in them, and to stay abreast of any changes while the funds are invested in the pool/fund. The analysis should include an understanding of the pool/fund’s eligible securities, maximum maturities, interest calculation and distribution, size, withdrawal and deposit limits, and expense ratio.

COLLATERALIZATION
Surplus funds must be deposited in state or national banks, state or federal savings associations or federal credit unions within the State of California. All demand and time deposits shall be collateralized with securities authorized by California Government Code Section 53651 et seq. The bank or savings and loan must secure public funds deposits with eligible securities having a market value of 110% of the total amount of the deposits or first trust deeds having a value of 150% of the total amount of the deposits. The Treasurer may waive security for that portion of a deposit, which is insured pursuant to Federal law.

The first $250,000 of a deposit is federally insured. Deposits over $250,000 are collateralized as indicated above.

SAFEKEEPING AND CUSTODY
All security transactions shall be conducted on a delivery-versus-payment (DVP) method. All securities shall be registered in the name of the City of Cypress and held by a third-party custodian designated by the City Treasurer.

CITY OF CYPRESS

STATEMENT OF INVESTMENT POLICY
Fiscal Year 2024-25
9 MAXIMUM MATURITIES AND SETTLEMENT PERIODS
In accordance with California Government Code, the City will not invest in any security maturing more than 5 years from the settlement date. Investment purchases must settle within 45 days of the commitment to purchase the investment. If the City Treasurer desires to invest in longer-term securities, the Government Code allows such an investment if it is expressly approved by the City Council at least three months prior to the purchase.

INTERNAL CONTROLS
A system of internal control shall be established and documented in writing.

The controls shall be designed to prevent losses of public funds arising from irregularities, employee error, misrepresentation of third parties, unanticipated changes in financial markets, or imprudent actions by employees and officers of the City. Controls deemed most important include: control of collusion, separation of duties, custodial safekeeping, clear delegation of authority, written confirmation of transactions, minimizing the number of authorized investment officials, documentation of transactions and strategies, and code of ethics standards.

REPORTING
Under provisions of Section 53607 of the California Government Code, the City Treasurer shall submit a monthly investment report to the City Council.

This report will list the type of investment, institution, date of maturity, amount of deposit, rate of interest, current market value of securities with maturities in excess of 12 months, source of market valuations, and statement of compliance. A schedule of market values maturing by date and type, and such other data as required by the City Council will also be provided.

INVESTMENT POLICY ADOPTION
The City Treasurer and Finance Manager shall be responsible for reviewing and modifying this Statement of Investment Policy annually for City Council approval to ensure its consistency with the overall objectives of safety, preservation of principal, and liquidity, and its relevance to current law and current financial and economic conditions.

INDEMNIFICATION
Any authorized investment personnel acting with prudence and in accordance with the City Statement of Investment Policy, will not be held personally liable for any investment losses. Through surety bonds the City is indemnified against any investment personnel acting with malfeasance, misfeasance or nonfeasance.

INVESTMENT GUIDELINES AND STRATEGY
11 I. GUIDELINES:

Guidelines are established to direct and control activities in such a manner that previously established goals are achieved.

1. Investment Transaction: Every investment transaction must be authorized and reviewed by the City Treasurer and Finance Manager.

2. Pooled Cash: Whenever practical, cash is consolidated into one bank account and invested on a pooled concept basis. Interest earnings are allocated quarterly to each fund according to fund actual month-end cash balances.

3. Competitive Bids: Purchases and sales of securities are made on the basis of competitive offers and bids when practical.

4. Cash Forecasting: The cash flow for the City is projected with the receipt of revenues and maturity of investments scheduled so that adequate cash will be available to meet disbursement requirements.

5. Investment Limitations: Security purchases and holdings are maintained within statutory limits imposed by the California Government Code. The City's current limits are listed on the following page.

6. Liquidity: The marketability (salability) of a security is considered at the time of purchase, as the security may have to be sold at a later date to meet unanticipated cash demands.

7. Diversification: The portfolio should consist of various types of securities, issuers, and maturities.

8. Evaluate Certificates of Deposit:
a) Certificates of Deposit shall be evaluated in terms of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) coverage. The City does not purchase Certificates of Deposit in excess of the FDIC coverage amount.
b) Negotiable Certificates of Deposit shall be evaluated in terms of the credit worthiness of the issuer, as these deposits are uninsured and uncollateralized promissory notes.

INVESTMENT PROCEDURES

INTERNAL CONTROL GUIDELINES
14 I. OBJECTIVES OF INTERNAL CONTROL:

Internal control is the plan of organization and all the related systems established by management's objective of ensuring, as far as practicable:
 The orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to management policies.
 The safeguarding of assets.
 The prevention or timely detection of errors and irregularities.  The accuracy and completeness of the accounting records.  The timely preparation of reliable financial information.

II. LIMITATIONS OF INTERNAL CONTROL:

No internal control system, however elaborate, can by itself guarantee the achievement of management's objectives. Internal control can provide only reasonable assurance that the objectives are met, because of its inherent limitations, including:
 Management's typical and practical requirement that a control be cost-effective.  The focus of most controls on recurring, rather than unusual, types of transactions.  Human error due to misunderstanding, carelessness, fatigue or distraction of functions.  The potential for a person responsible for exercising control abusing that responsibility.  Frequently, a member of management may be in a position to override controls which management has set up.
 Collusion, where two or more employees conspire to circumvent controls.

III. ELEMENTS OF INTERNAL CONTROL:

Elements of a system of internal control are the means by which an organization can satisfy the objectives of internal control. These elements are:
 ORGANIZATION: Specific responsibility for the performance of duties should be assigned and lines of authority and reporting clearly identified and understood.  PERSONNEL: Personnel should have capabilities commensurate with their responsibilities. Personnel selection and training policies, together with the quality and quantity of supervision, are essential.

CITY OF CYPRESS

STATEMENT OF INVESTMENT POLICY
Fiscal Year 2024-25

INVESTMENT PROCEDURES

INTERNAL CONTROL GUIDELINES
15  SEGREGATION OF FUNCTIONS: Segregation of incompatible functions reduces the risk that a person is in a position both to perpetrate and conceal errors or irregularities in the normal course of duty. If different people handle two parts of a transaction, collusion is necessary to conceal errors or irregularities. In particular, the functions that should be considered when evaluating segregation of functions are authorization, execution, recording, custody of assets, and performing reconciliations.  AUTHORIZATION: An appropriate responsible individual should authorize all transactions. The responsibilities and limits of authorization should be clearly delineated.

The authorization for a specific transaction or the granting of authority for transactions should be to a position commensurate with the significance of the transactions.

Delegation of authority to authorize transactions should be handled carefully.  CONTROLS OVER ACCOUNTING SYSTEM: Controls over an accounting system include manual and automated procedures carried out independently to ascertain that transactions are complete, valid, authorized and properly recorded.

IV. CASH CONTROLS:

1. Cash control procedures include the following:
a. Receipts are reconciled on a daily basis.
b. Amounts are deposited intact.
c. All bank accounts are duly authorized.
d. Bank reconciliations are prepared and reviewed.
e. The posting of cash receipt entries in books is timely. f. Receipt forms are automated, accounted for, and physically secured. g. Proper approval required for write-off of customer accounts. h. Checks are restrictively endorsed upon receipt.
i. Adequate physical security over cash.
j. Individuals who handle cash do not post account records. k. Adequate supervision of Finance Department operations.

2. Significant revenues are confirmed directly with payer and compared with City books to make sure amounts are recorded properly.

3. Cash balances are substantiated by confirming all account balances. Bank reconciliations are reviewed for propriety and recalculated by the auditor. All significant reconciling items on bank reconciliations are verified as valid reconciling items by proving to subsequent bank statements.

GLOSSARY OF INVESTMENT TERMINOLOGY
17 Bankers' Acceptances: Short-term debt instruments issued by a company and guaranteed by a commercial bank. They are time drafts in which a bank accepts the obligation to pay the principal and interest at maturity even if the issuer does not. Essentially, these are bank obligations collateralized by goods being shipped between an exporter and importer. The date of maturity typically ranges between 30 and 180 days. The City may not invest more than 25% of its surplus money in Bankers' Acceptances with each issuer limited to 10%.

Basis Point: One one-hundredth of one percent, or 0.01%. Basis points are often used to describe changes in yields on bonds and notes.

Bid Price: The price at which a buyer offers to buy a security.

Certificates of Deposit (CD): A deposit of funds at a bank for a specified period of time that earns interest at a specified rate. The City does not purchase Certificates of Deposit that are not FDIC insured. The City may invest up to 25% of its surplus money in insured CD's with maturities of one year of less.

Collateral: Securities or cash pledged by a borrower to secure repayment of a loan or repurchase agreement. Also, securities pledged by a financial institution to secure deposits of public funds.

Commercial Paper: Short-term unsecured promissory notes issued by a corporation to raise working capital. These negotiable instruments are typically purchased at a discount to par value or at par value with interest bearing. Local agencies are permitted by State law to invest in Commercial Paper of the highest ranking or of the highest letter and numerical rating as provided by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO). Purchases of eligible Commercial Paper may not exceed 270 days maturity, nor exceed 25% of the City's surplus funds. Furthermore, the City may invest no more than 10% of its total portfolio in the commercial paper and medium-term corporate notes of any single issuer at the time of purchase.

Coupon: The annual rate of interest a bond’s issuer promises to pay the bondholder on the bond’s face value.

Credit Risk: The risk to an investor that an issuer will default in the payment of interest and/or principal on a security.

CITY OF CYPRESS

STATEMENT OF INVESTMENT POLICY
Fiscal Year 2024-25

GLOSSARY OF INVESTMENT TERMINOLOGY
18 Delivery Versus Payment (DVP): A procedure for settling investment transactions in which the delivery of the security by the seller and the payment for the security by the buyer happen simultaneously by a third-party safekeeping agent. This practice ensures no funds are at risk in an investment transaction as funds are not released until securities are delivered.

Discount: The difference between the par value of a bond and the cost of the bond, when cost is below par. Some short-term securities, such as Treasury bills and bankers acceptances, are known as discount securities. They sell at a discount from par and return par value to the investor at maturity, without additional interest. Other securities trade at a discount when the coupon rate is lower than the current market rate for securities of that maturity and/or quality.

Duration: A measure of the timing of cash flows, such as the interest payments and the principal repayment, to be received from a given fixed-income security. This calculation is based on three variables: term to maturity, coupon rate, and yield to maturity.

19 Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF): A voluntary investment alternative for local governments and special districts authorized by California Government Code Section 16429.1 et seq. There is no minimum investment period and the minimum transaction is $5,000. Each LAIF account is limited to 15 transactions per month and subject to a maximum balance, currently set by the State Treasurer at $75 million, but subject to change. LAIF offers high liquidity because deposits can be converted to cash in 24 hours with no interest lost. Interest is distributed to those agencies participating on a per share basis determined by the amounts deposited and the length of time they are deposited. Interest is paid quarterly. The State retains a portion for administrative costs, not to exceed five percent of the quarterly earnings.

The pooling of the State's surplus cash with the participant's surplus cash creates a multi-billion dollar money pool and allows diversified investments. In a high interest rate market, the City may do better than LAIF however, in times of low interest rates, LAIF’s yields tend to be higher.

The City invests in the Local Agency Investment Fund, whose Investment Policy allows investments in securities not specifically authorized by the City's Investment Policy. However these investments by LAIF are allowable under the California Government Code.

CITY COUNCIL REPORT
City Council Regular 6.

FROM: Matt Burton, Director of Finance and Administrative Services DATE: 06/10/2024
SUBJECT: Receive and File the FY 2024-25 Master Fee Schedule

RECOMMENDATION
Receive and file the updated FY 2024-25 Master Fee Schedule which incorporates annual cost-of-living adjustments for City and Park District user fees.

DISCUSSION
In 2019, the City Council updated user fees for the first time in more than a decade. The updated fees were the result of a comprehensive fee study conducted by a consultant. In general, City user fees are established to recover the full cost of discretionary services provided to a user while Recreation and Park District fees are intended to provide sustainable subsidies to customers.

To ensure fees keep pace with the costs to provide services, the 2019 resolution approving the Master Fee Schedule includes an automatic cost-of-living adjustment be applied annually to all user fees effective July 1st. The annual cost-of-living adjustment is based on the March Consumer Price Index (CPI) and is applied to fees in conjunction with the new budget fiscal year. The FY 2024-25 Master Fee Schedule includes a 4.03% cost-of-living adjustment for all user fees established by the City and District.

The new fee schedule is effective July 1, 2024. However, because some programs must be advertised or billed well in advance of the new fees being established, some fee increases will be deferred until it is administratively feasible to implement the changes. For example, most changes to Recreation program fees will be deferred until the publication of the Fall Activity Guide.

Fines, developer fees, and fees set by the State of California remain unchanged, as these fees are not subject to the annual cost-of-living adjustment applied to user fees.

BUDGET IMPACT
The fee adjustments are estimated to generate approximately $60,000 to $90,000 of The fee adjustments are estimated to generate approximately $60,000 to $90,000 of additional revenue to help offset the annual cost increases associated with providing these services. These increases have been factored into the FY 2024-25 Proposed Budget which will be considered for adoption on June 10, 2024.

LEGAL REVIEW
None required.

Section 1. Pursuant to the Provisions of the Employer-Employee Relations Resolution No. 970, as amended, the City of Cypress (hereinafter called the "City" and/or "Employer" interchangeably) has recognized the Cypress Maintenance Employees' Association as the majority representative of the employees in the bargaining unit, which includes employees in the classifications and assignments of Maintenance Worker, Maintenance Specialist, and Mechanic.

Section 2. The City shall recognize the Association as the representative of the employees in the classifications and assignments set forth in Section 1. above for the purpose of meeting its obligation under this Agreement, the Meyers-Milias-Brown Act, Government Code §3500, et. seq., when City Rules, Regulations or laws affecting wages, hours and/or other terms and conditions of employment are amended or changed.

Section 3. Recognizing the above-mentioned body, the City shall conduct open and good faith negotiations between the City and its employees through their Maintenance Employees' Association Representatives.

ARTICLE II - NONDISCRIMINATION
Section 1.

The City and the Association shall reopen any provision of this Agreement for the purpose of complying with any final order of the state or federal agency or court of competent jurisdiction requiring a modification or change in any provision of this Agreement in compliance with state or federal anti-discrimination laws.

Section 2. Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA). To comply with state and federal law, the language below shall apply:

A. The ADA/FEHA requires reasonable accommodations for individuals protected under the ADA/FEHA, and because reasonable accommodations must be determined on an individual, case-bycase basis, exceptions to the provisions of this Agreement may be required for the City to avoid discrimination in the hiring, promotion, granting of permanency, transfer, layoff, reassignment, termination, rehire, rates of pay, job and duty classification, seniority, leaves, fringe benefits, training opportunities, hours of work or other terms and privileges of employment.

MOU MEA 2024-2027 Page 2 of 25

ARTICLE III - COMPENSATION PLAN
Section 1. Basic Compensation Plan.

A. All employees covered by this Agreement shall be included under the Basic Compensation Plan. Every position under this Plan shall be assigned a range established by the City Council by resolution. All pay changes shall be at the beginning of the closest start of the pay period, unless there is a special justification as approved by the Personnel Officer. The salary schedule shall consist of six steps (A through F) within each range.

B. The first step, A step, is the minimum rate and is normally the hiring rate for the class. An employee may be assigned, upon appointment, to other than the normal entering salary step upon the recommendation of the department head and the approval of the City Manager or his designee when it is decided that such action is in the best interest of the City.

C. The second step, B step, is a merit adjustment which may be given at the end of six months of employment, subject to the recommendation of the department head and approval of the City Manager or his designee.

D. The third (C step), fourth (D step), fifth (E step), and sixth (F step) steps are merit adjustments to encourage an employee to improve his work and to recognize seniority and increased skill on the job.

Employees are normally eligible for these adjustments at any time after the completion of one year of service at the preceding step. Each adjustment shall be made only if recommended by the department head and approved by the City Manager or his designee.

E. The Maintenance Worker classification includes a seventh (G step), eighth (H step) and ninth (I step). Advancement to the H and I steps shall be earned on performance standards. Performance standards must be maintained at each annual evaluation thereafter to remain at the H or I step.

F. All rates shown are in full payment for services rendered and covers full payment for the number of hours now being regularly performed in each class.

G. The comprehensive wage and salary plan, as outlined herein, is based on a 40-hour workweek for all employees covered by this Agreement.

Section 2. Initial Compensation. All new employees appointed to a position in the competitive service shall be paid a salary or wage within the established range for the position's class. The initial employment shall generally be at the minimum rate for the class. However, the appointing power may, with approval of the City Manager or his designee, when circumstances warrant it, appoint at other than the minimum step.

Section 3. Evaluation Date Shall be Established as Follows:

A. Employees appointed, promoted or reinstated on or between the first and the fifteenth day of the month inclusive shall, for the purpose of eligibility for consideration of future compensation increases, have the first day of that same month as their evaluation date.

MOU MEA 2024-2027 Page 3 of 25

C. Evaluation dates shall change upon promotion or reclassification. Evaluations dates shall not change following demotions or transfers.

Section 4. Advancement Within Salary Range.

A. In order to properly compensate an employee, advancement in salary shall be based on merit.

B. Advancements in salary shall not be automatic, but shall depend upon increased service value of the employee to the City.

C. The department head and/or the employee's immediate supervisor shall be responsible to evaluate employees fairly in an unbiased fashion for the determination of job performance. Advancement shall be made only upon recommendation of the department head with approval of the City Manager or his designee.

D. Employees beginning at A step must be reviewed for performance advancement prior to the completion of six months of service from the date of appointment. Thereafter, an employee must be reviewed at least once every twelve months from the effective date of his last performance step increase, special performance advancement or promotion. Nothing contained herein shall restrict the department head from denying the increase after evaluation, nor shall it prevent him from recommending a special performance advancement in salary at any time when unusual or outstanding achievement has been demonstrated.

E. It shall be the responsibility of each supervisor to establish realistic achievement levels for each step increase within a salary range. Achievement levels may be formal or informal and shall be reviewed by the department head for the purpose of maintaining uniformity of standards throughout the department.

Section 5. Salary Increases Following Promotion. When an employee in the City is promoted to a position with a higher salary range, such employee shall automatically be entitled to the lowest step in the higher salary range that would represent a salary increase of approximately 5% over the base salary received immediately prior to promotion (e.g. approximately 5% means 4.5% or higher).

Section 6. Salary Decreases Following Demotion. In the case of a demotion of an employee in the department to a class with a lower maximum salary, such employee shall be assigned to the appropriate salary step in the new class as recommended by the department head and approved by the City Manager. The employee shall retain his previous anniversary date.

Section 7. Salary Following Transfers. In the case of the transfer of any employee from one position to another in the same class to which the same salary range is applicable, the employee shall remain at the same step and shall retain his same anniversary date.

Section 8. Adjustment of Salary Ranges. When a salary range for a given classification is revised upward or downward, the positions and within the affected classification shall have their existing salary adjusted to the same relative step in the new salary range and their evaluation date shall not be changed.

Section 9. Salary and Benefits on Suspension. During suspension from City service for disciplinary cause, an employee shall forfeit all rights, privileges and salary, except he shall not forfeit his medical health plan, dental insurance plan, vision insurance plan, retirement plan, disability insurance or life insurance plans.

MOU MEA 2024-2027 Page 5 of 25

MOU MEA 2024-2027 Page 6 of 25

Description Unit Price Weekly Cost Per Month
Shirts $ 0.22 $ 2.64 $ 11.44
Pants $ 0.28 $ 3.36 $ 14.56
Shorts $ 0.25 $ 3.00 $ 13.00

$18.00 Is reported to CalPERS per pay period
Maintenance Employee Uniforms (12 sets per week)
The amount reported to CalPERS is subject to change, based upon changes to the vendor’s contract and/or pricing and the actual usage of uniforms.

D. Each calendar year, employees will receive a voucher for up to $250 to purchase safety shoes/boots from one of the City’s contracted vendors. Effective January 1, 2025, the amount of the voucher will increase to a maximum of $275 per calendar year. In the event of extreme work-related wear, with approval from the Maintenance Superintendent, an employee may receive up to an additional $100 towards the purchase of a replacement pair of safety shoes/boots. An employee will reimburse the City for the full cost of safety shoes/boots if they were purchased within 60 days of separation from the City.

Human Resources will verify this information and if necessary, the cost will be deducted from the employee’s final paycheck.

E. Instead of receiving a voucher, employees have the option of purchasing safety shoes/boots from an independent vendor or repairing shoes/boots they already own and receiving reimbursement for the amount specified in Section 4D. The Maintenance Superintendent must certify, in writing, to Human Resources, that the safety shoes/boots are satisfactory for the job being performed prior to the employee receiving reimbursement.

F. To be eligible for reimbursement for repairs, the employee must submit the safety shoes/boots for inspection by the Maintenance Superintendent before and after the repair work. All requests for reimbursement for safety shoes/boots or for repairs must be accompanied by a receipt initialed by the Maintenance Superintendent.

G. The City shall continue to provide other safety equipment as deemed necessary.

H. The City, at the request of the association, shall supply a new jacket to each employee covered by this Agreement every other fiscal year.

An employee may continue to use their previous jacket should they wish to do so. However, the employee must consider the environment and the City’s image in use of the previous jacket. The City may require the employee to use the new jacket to maintain the City’s image. Employees shall return their jacket to the City upon termination from City service.

Section 5. Commercial Driver License. All employees covered by this MOU, shall possess and maintain a California Commercial Driver License (Class A or B). New employees will have six months from the date of employment to obtain a Class A or B license.

MOU MEA 2024-2027 Page 7 of 25

Section 8. Cell Phone Allowance. Effective with the pay period beginning July 5, 2024, each member will receive a $50 per month cell phone allowance. The allowance is intended to compensate members for the use of their personal cell phone while working out in the field. Members will not be eligible for the allowance during a leave of absence that extends beyond 30 calendar days or during a light duty assignment which does not require the majority of the work performed offsite.

ARTICLE VII - HOLIDAYS
Section 1. Recognized Holidays.

A. For pay purposes, the following holidays are recognized as municipal holidays for regular employees: New Year's Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Presidents’ Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Veteran's Day, Thanksgiving Day, the Friday following Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Eve Day and Christmas Day. Employees shall earn 8 hours for each holiday. Employees must use other forms of accrued leave to make up the difference between holiday hours earned and those required to be used when working an alternative work schedule.

B. Beginning the first pay period of the payroll year current employees shall be credited with one floating holiday (9 working hours). Employees hired after the beginning of the payroll year, but before September 1 of the payroll year, will be credited with one floating holiday. The floating holiday may be taken subject to approval of the department head after consideration of the department workload and other staffing considerations such as, but not limited to, leave schedules of other employees already approved, sick leave and position vacancies. The floating holiday must be taken as paid time off in the payroll year of crediting. There shall be no cash payment for unused floating holiday hours.

C. If a holiday falls on an employee’s scheduled day off, the holiday leave may be used during the payroll year. There shall be no carryover of unused holiday.

D. When a holiday falls on a Sunday, the following Monday shall be considered the holiday. When a holiday, falls on a Saturday, the preceding Friday shall be considered the holiday.

E. Religious holidays requested off shall be done so in writing to the department head. If approved, such time shall be charged against vacation, compensatory time, personal leave, holiday or floating holiday.

Section 2. Employees Required to Work on Holidays.

A. For any hours worked on a holiday, the employee will be compensated at time and one-half (1- 1/2). The employee will receive payment at his regular straight time hourly rate for hours worked and accumulate compensatory time at a rate of one-half for every hour worked. For example, if an employee works nine hours on a holiday, he will be paid nine hours of straight time and accumulate four and one-half (4-1/2) hours of compensatory time.

B. When an employee eligible for holiday pay, who is required to work on a day designated as a holiday under the provisions of the Personnel Rules, becomes ill and is unable to report for work on that day, the employee shall be paid at the straight time rate for the sick leave hours scheduled to work on said day, and the holiday hours will remain in their leave bank for use during the payroll year.

Section 3. Holidays Falling During Approved Leaves of Absence Without Pay. Any employee on an approved leave of absence without pay, having the holiday fall during the period of such leave of absence without pay, shall be eligible for such holiday pay only in those instances where said employee has worked either the day before or the day immediately following said holiday.

MOU MEA 2024-2027 Page 8 of 25

Section 4. Holiday Closure. If City facilities are closed during the holidays (generally the week between Christmas and New Year’s Day), it is expected that all non-essential maintenance employees will be off work and use accrued leave. However, employees may request to work during this period and will be accommodated if sufficient work is available. Employees who wish to work during the closure period must annually notify Public Works management by October 1.

ARTICLE VIII - PROBATIONARY PERIOD
Section 1. Regular Appointments Following Probationary Period.

A. The original appointment of every employee, other than those whose appointment is exempt, shall be tentative and subject to a probationary period of 12 months of service.

B. The promotional appointment of every regular employee shall be tentative and subject to a probationary period of six months.

C. The Personnel Officer shall notify the department head and the probationer concerned, two weeks prior to the termination of the probationary period.

D. If the service of the probationary employee has been satisfactory, the department head shall file with Human Resources a statement, in writing, to such effect stating that the retention of such employee in the service is desired. No actions changing an employee's status from probationary to regular shall be made or become effective until approved by the Personnel Officer.

Section 2. Objective of Probationary Period. The probationary period shall be regarded as a part of the testing process and shall be utilized for closely observing the employee's work, for securing the most effective adjustment of a new employee to his position, and for rejecting any probationary employee whose performance does not meet the required standards of work.
