We learned a lot, I want to give direction to Mr. Vasquez and our staff.

Agenda Item: 4
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Maribel Reyna, City Manager

SUBJECT: Adopt a resolution of the City Council of the City of Delano declaring there are no unmet transit needs within the City of Delano
Recommendation
Adopt resolution of the City Council of the City of Delano declaring there are no unmet transit needs within the City of Delano.
Discussion
As a requirement to receive State Transportation Development Act (TDA) Funds, the receiving agency must annually hold a public hearing review of its transit program to determine if the needs of individuals or groups are being met. The funding sources for TDA are from two sources, the Local Transportation Fund (LTF) and the State Transit Assistance (STA).
On February 20, 2024, staff of the City of Delano Transit (DART) held a public hearing to receive input from the public regarding unmet transit needs. Prior to this, staff developed fliers in both Spanish and English and posted them on the transit buses, transit station, Bakersfield Californian, and City Hall Building.

The current Personnel Rules and Regulations were adopted on October 18, 2021. On January 1, 2024, several new state legislations took effect requiring updates to our rules and regulations in order to stay compliant with state law.

Code Section 12945.7(a)(2)(A)/(AB1949) – Entitles eligible employees to take up to five days of bereavement leave.
• Gov. Gov. Code Section 12945.2(b)(5)(B)/(AB1041) – Amends California Family Rights Act (CFRA) and the Healthy Workplaces, Healthy Families Act, also known as Paid Sick Leave Law, to permit eligible employees of covered employers to take leave to care for individuals who are not family members. • Gov. Code Section 12945.7(a)(2)(A)/(SB616) – increases the full amount of paid sick leave to 40 hours or 5 days instead from previous 24 hours or 3 days.
Other minor cleanup items are also being recommended.
Liebert, Cassidy, Whitmore provided technical assistance with the review and amendments.
The final draft was sent to all three union groups and they were provided the opportunity for input via the meet and confer process.

If the request is for a family member, it should also specify that the employee’s attendance of the ill or injured family member is required.

6. Once Payroll has been given the bi-weekly pay period hours, the donation is deducted from the donor. If the recipient returns to work before the bi-weekly donations are exhausted, the donations are eliminated from the catastrophic leave bank. They are not returned to the donor or the recipient. Once a donation has been made it is irrevocable.
7. Medical insurance coverage will continue as if the recipient employee was on sick leave; however, the recipient employee will not accrue sick leave or vacation benefits while using catastrophic leave.
8. The donated time will be charged to the recipient’s subprogram.
9. Catastrophic pay will be coordinated with SDI should the recipient be receiving SDI. The recipient will be required to follow the City’s SDI policy.
10. If the recipient employee should become eligible to receive long-term disability payments, he/she will no longer be eligible to receive donations under this policy.
11. Federal and state income taxes will be deducted from the leave recipient’s pay at the time of usage and at the recipient’s normal payroll deductions.

75 Section 16. Layoff Procedure
16.01 Layoff Due to Lack of Work or Funds or Other Reasons A. General. The City shall have the sole right to determine which class(es) shall be subject to lay-off. Whenever, in the judgment of the City, one or more positions are to be eliminated for reasons of lack of work, lack of funds, reorganization, or other reasons of economy or efficiency, an employee filling such position may be laid off, transferred, or demoted.
B. Notice. Ten working days before the effective day of layoff, the Personnel Officer shall notify the employee in writing of the intended action indicating reasons, and a statement certifying whether or not employee’s services have been satisfactory. A copy of such notice shall be given to the Department Head and employee affected. If certified as having given satisfactory service, the name of the employee laid off shall be placed on an appropriate reemployment list as provided by these Rules. Such nondisciplinary action shall not be subject to appeal.
If not certified as having given satisfactory service, the employee laid off may interpret the action as a discharge and request a hearing as provided in these Rules. Lay-off must conform in principal with the seniority provisions in the applicable Memorandum of Understanding. Unless otherwise provided in a Memorandum of Understanding with a recognized employee organization, seniority shall be defined as outlined in Section 11.06 and 11.07 of these rules.
C. Bumping. An employee subject to lay-off may first displace employees of lower seniority in any comparable classification, as determined by the City Manager. As a second alternative to lay-off, employees subject to lay-off may take a voluntary demotion to any lower classification within the same department in which the employee had prior permanent status, provided a vacancy exists or the demotee has higher seniority than an employee working in that classification. As a third alternative, an employee subject to lay-off may take a voluntary demotion to a vacant position in a lower classification provided the employee can, through a non-competitive examination, establish proof to the satisfaction of the Personnel Officer, that he/she is capable of performing the job.
This process, known as “bumping” will give the employee with greater seniority the right to replace an employee with less seniority on another job in which the former has had previous City experience and ability.
March 4, 2024 City of Delano Rules and Regulations
76 Disputes over previous experience and ability will be subject to the Grievance Procedure. Under this provision, a layoff can only take place when the affected employee has no job available to which employee can be downgraded or transferred.
D. In the case of layoffs, temporary, part-time, and probationary employees within the class or classes subject to lay-off will be laid off before any regular employees are affected by layoffs.
E. Order of lay-off of probationary and regular employees shall be according to seniority with the employee(s) having lowest seniority to be laid off first. Among employees with equal seniority, the order of lay-off shall be determined by order of appointment or by lottery.
16.02 Re-employment.
Employees laid off or demoted in lieu of lay-off shall have a priority right of return to their prior class or to any lower class in the same or comparable classification series. This right shall remain effective for one (1) year from the date of demotion or separation from the City service.
The names of probationary and regular employees who have been laid off may be placed on appropriate Re-employment Lists in the order of total continuous cumulative time served in probationary and regular status. Such names may remain thereon for one year unless such persons are rehired sooner.
When a Re-employment List is to be used to fill vacancies, the Personnel Officer shall certify from the top of such list, the number of names equal to the number of vacancies to be filled, and the appointing power shall appoint such persons to fill the vacancies.

Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
Maribel Reyna, City Manager
By: Nancy Garcia, City Clerk
SUBJECT: Cancellation of regular City Council meeting scheduled for June 17, 2024 Recommendation
Cancel regular City Council meeting scheduled for June 17, 2024.
Discussion
A regular City Council meeting is scheduled for June 17, 2024. However, it has been the City’s regular past practice to go dark for a meeting during the summer. The next scheduled meeting will be July 1, 2024. Should any items arise that require attention before the July 1, 2024 meeting, a special meeting can be called. Staff is therefore requesting to cancel the City Council meeting scheduled for June 17, 2024.

City Council Staff Report
March 4, 2024
______________________________________________________________________________ TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Maribel Reyna, City Manager
By: Danielle Monsibais, Interim Community Development Director SUBJECT: Introduction and first reading of an ordinance of the City of Delano amending Section 20.2.180 (Appeals) of the Delano Municipal Code which would apply citywide.
The proposed Zoning Text Amendment would, among other things: (i) establish a filing fee up to $1,000.00 for any person electing to appeal a decision of the Community Development Director or the Planning Commission; (ii) clarify that the City Council, on appeal, may reverse, affirm in whole or in part, and/or modify or attach new or additional conditions to the decision appeal from; and (iii) prohibit a person from reapplying for a denied project for a period of one year unless the Community Development Director determines that the application is materially different from the project that was previously denied.
______________________________________________________________________________ Recommendation
Staff recommends the City Council take the following actions:
1. Conduct the Public hearing.
2. Review and consider the Planning Commission’s Resolution recommending to the City Council the Zoning Text Amendment to Section 20.2.180 (Appeals) of the Delano Municipal Code.
3. Approve Staff’s recommendation as initially proposed.
Discussion
The City of Delano’s Municipal Code currently has a section that addresses Appeals (Section
20.2.180) however, Staff believes there is a need for clarification within the Appeals Section as well as a need to add a filing fee when an Appeal is applied for as the City has recently received Appeal cases and for future Appeals.
The proposed clarifications will ensure precise guidelines for future Appeal requests and will allow a clear direction for Staff when an Appeal request has been submitted to the Community Development Department.
Agenda Item No. 7
2 In addition, the proposed filing fee was proposed to help the City recoup a portion of fees included with an Appeal case. Each Appeal case requires certain requirements including advertisement in the Bakersfield Californian, Staff’s time, and associated materials. Staff would like to note that the proposed amount of a $1,000.00 filing fee was due to a fee study analysis which included seven (7) different surrounding counties and cities. Based off the analysis Staff concluded that the proposed amount of $1,000.00 is within the range of the surrounding counties and cities.
Text Amendment to Section 20.2.180 (Appeals)
Staff recommended the following revisions to Section 20.2.180 (Appeals) of the Delano Municipal Code to establish a required filing fee and additional clarification for future appeals to the Planning Commission on December 13, 2023. The following recommended clarifications are shown in underline and strikethrough below:
1. Appeal of Action.
a. Any person may appeal a decision of the Community Development Director to the Planning Commission where the Community Development Director's decision would otherwise be final.
b. Any person may appeal a decision of the Planning Commission to the City Council where the Planning Commission's decision would otherwise be final.
2. Filing of Appeals. Appeal application forms shall be made available at the office of the Community Development Department to all persons wishing to appeal an action included in this Title. Appeal applications and filing fee of $1,000.00 shall be filed with the Community Development Department within ten calendar days following the date of action for which an appeal is made unless otherwise provided in this Title. If the last day to file falls on a holiday or on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday, the following business day shall be deemed the last day to act. Appeals shall be forwarded to the City Clerk by the Community Development Director.
3. Notice of Appeal Hearings Notice. Public notice of an appeal hearing shall be given in the manner in which the original notice was given. In the case of an appeal of a Community Development Director decision, notice shall be given pursuant to Section 20.2.140 of this Chapter.
4. Effective Date of Appealed Actions. Except as otherwise provided for in this Title, an action that has been appealed shall not become effective until a final determination is made by the appropriate decision making body.
5. City Council Action and Findings. The City Council may reverse, affirm wholly or partly, modify or attach other or additional conditions to the decision appealed from. The decision of the City Council shall be final and conclusive.
The City Council’s final determination of an appealed action shall not be re-applied with the Community Development Department for a period of one year, unless there has been a substantial change to the proposed project determined by the Community Development Director.
3 Planning Commission Action
During the discussion, the Planning Commissioners came to a mutual consensus regarding the proposed filing fee as they believed the filing fee was too high given there has not been a preestablished fee prior. The Planning Commissioners suggested starting the filing fee at $250.00 instead of the proposed $1,000.00 would allow the community the opportunity of exercising their right to an appeal. The Commissioners further added in the recommendation that the $250.00 fee be effective on July 1, 2024, and increase by $100.00 annually on July 1st thereafter, but not to exceed $1,000.00.
CEQA Determination
The proposed Zoning Text Amendment is exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the proposed amendments may have a significant effect on the environment. In addition, the proposed Zone Text Amendment is statutorily exempt from CEQA pursuant to Title 14, Section 15273(a) of the California Code of Regulations.
Fiscal Impact
The fiscal impact would be the recovery of costs due to the appeal rights of applicants.
Staff Recommendation
Although Staff understands the Planning Commission’s concern with the proposed filing fee, Staff continues to recommend it is necessary to establish a required filing fee and additional clarification for future appeals due to the following:
• The proposed amount is in line with many of the surrounding Cities and Counties including McFarland and Wasco.
• The proposed amount will help recoup with the associated cost with an Appeal. Staff prepared an analysis that included the cost from the three (3) Appeals the Department has processed within the last two (2) years. The process with an Appeal starts by renoticing the project, re-reviewing the project in its entirety via denovo, conducting an additional site visit, and all associate materials. For reference, the average cost to advertise within the Bakersfield Californian and mailing the required mailing list was approximately $545.00 per Appeal case. Staff typically works on a case between 10-14 hours which is approximately $640.00 for Staff’s time. The proposed filing fee of a $1,000.00 would not recoup the full amount of the average cost associated with an Appeal case. As a result, the City has lost a total of $3,555.00 as the filing fee is currently zero dollars. • The proposed amendments will help clarify the requirements for future applicants in regards to the Appeal process. In addition, the provided clarifications within the Municipal Code will help Staff streamline the Appeal process where it is currently lacking.
Therefore, Staff is requesting the City Council approve Staff’s recommendation as proposed.

Exhibit "A"
CITY OF DELANO
STAFF REPORT
March 4, 2024
Agenda Item: 8
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Maribel Reyna, City Manager
Prepared by Mark D. Hensley, City Attorney
SUBJECT: Potential Adjustment to City Council Member Compensation Pursuant to California Senate Bill 329. Placed on agenda pursuant to Mayor's request.
RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Receive presentation from staff regarding California Senate Bill 329 and new salary thresholds for members of city councils throughout the state.
2. Consider and possibly take action to introduce and waive the first reading of an Ordinance increasing compensation for City Council Members in a specified amount not to exceed the $1,600 per month statutory limit.
3. If recommendation 2 is implemented, direct staff to schedule a second reading of the Ordinance for the regular March 18, 2024, City Council meeting or as soon thereafter feasible.
4. Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to the item.
DISCUSSION/BACKGROUND
California Senate Bill 329 (“SB 329”), signed by the Governor on June 23, 2023, increases the maximum compensation for California city council members for the first time since 1984. In 1984, the California Legislature set the maximum monthly salary at $500 for council members serving in cities with populations between 50,000 and 75,000.
Existing law allows for that figure to be increased via ordinance by a maximum of five percent per calendar year. The Delano City Council Member’s current monthly salary is set at $500. According to the relevant, most recent 2020 federal census, the City’s population is 51,428.
SB 329 amends existing law in three respects. First, it increases the maximum monthly salary for council members serving in cities with populations between 50,000 and 75,000 from $500 to $1,600. Second, after the $1,600 maximum monthly salary is established for a calendar year, it allows the salary of council members to be subsequently increased by the greater of either (i) an amount equal to five percent for each calendar year from the operative date of the last adjustment of the salary in effect when the ordinance or amendment is enacted (the same measure that has been in place since 1984), or (ii) an amount equal to inflation since January 1, 2024, based upon the California Consumer Price Index, not to exceed ten percent for each calendar year. The law does not allow for automatic salary increases for council members.
Third, SB 329 specifies that the council must consider the adoption of an ordinance to increase compensation in open session during at least two regular meetings.1 At the first meeting, the council must introduce the proposed ordinance, which must include findings demonstrating the need for the increased compensation. The ordinance could not be adopted until the next regular meeting, which must be at least seven days after the first meeting.
The Delano City Council may adopt an ordinance increasing its monthly compensation in an amount up to the $1,600. Under Government Code § 36516.5, any change to City Council compensation does not apply to current Council Members until at least one member of the City Council begins a new term. Accordingly, if this Council adopts an ordinance increasing Council Member Salaries, the increases won’t become effective until after the November 2024 Council election.
Alternatively, the City Council can submit a ballot measure to the voters seeking their approval of a salary adjustment for City Council Members. Such voter approval can set compensation above the salary ceilings discussed above, pursuant to Government Code § 36516(b).
The proposed draft Ordinance would modify Article II (Salary) Chapter 2.04 (City Council) of the Delano Municipal Code to update its statutory references and establish an establish a new compensation amount consistent with City Council direction within the maximum monthly amount.
FISCAL IMPACT
The current $500 per month for compensation for five City Council Members results in a total sum of $30,000 per calendar year. The impact of an adjustment to City Council compensation depends on the amount that the Council determines. In the example of the maximum monthly compensation available of $1,600 per month, the total cost would be $96,000 for the five-member body. The total impact would be proportionally less if the City Council approves a salary increase less than the statutory maximum. Pursuant to state law, any amounts the City pays for health and social security benefits are not included for purposes of determining this compensation amount. .
ORDINANCE NO. ________
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ARTICLE II (SALARY) OF
CHAPTER 2.04 (CITY COUNCIL) OF THE DELANO MUNICIPAL
CODE TO ADJUST CITY COUNCIL MEMBER COMPENSATION
PURSUANT TO CALIFORNIA SENATE BILL 329.
The City Council of the City of Delano does ordain as follows:
SECTION 1. Findings. The City Council finds, determines, and declares as follows:
A. For general law cities, like the City of Delano compensation is controlled by general state law, specifically Government Code § 36516.
B. Government Code § 36516 allows the City Council to establish, by ordinance, a salary up to a ceiling determined by the City’s population.
C. California Senate Bill 329 (“SB 329”), effective January 1, 2024 established new compensation ceilings for city councils for the first time since 1984 to account for the impacts of inflation and provide a greater economic incentive for citizens to represent their municipal governments.
D. The City’s population, based on the preceding federal census is 51,428, and Government Code § 36516(a)(2) authorizes
compensation for a city with a population between 50,000 and 75,000 be set, by ordinance, at a maximum monthly amount of $1,600.
E. Government Code § 36516(a)(4) subsequently authorizes the City Council to increase compensation by the greater of either (i) an amount equal to five percent for each calendar year from the operative date of the last adjustment of the salary in effect when the ordinance or amendment is enacted (the same measure that has been in place since 1984), or (ii) an amount equal to inflation since January 1, 2024, based upon the California Consumer Price Index, not to exceed ten percent for each calendar year. The law does not allow for automatic salary increases for council members.
F. Under Government Code § 36516.5, any change to City Council compensation becomes effective only when at least one member of the City Council begins a new term.

Ordinance No. ____
G. Delano Municipal Code (“DMC”) Chapter 2.04 (City Council), Article II (Salary) requires amendment to refresh its statutory references to enabling state law and establish a new monthly compensation amount for City Council Members.
H. The City Council seeks to increase its monthly member compensation from its current $500 per month amount, pursuant to SB 329, to account for the impacts of inflation and provide a greater economic incentive for citizens to participate in the hard work of governing a local municipality.
SECTION 2. Amendment. Article II (Salary) of Chapter 2.04 (City Council) of the DMC is amended in its entirety to read as follows:
“CHAPTER 2.04 (CITY COUNCIL)
II. SALARY
2.04.320 – Purpose.
The purpose of this article is to fix compensation for the council in accordance with state law, including, without limitation, Government Code § 36516 et seq.
2.04.330 – Compensation.
Pursuant to Government Code § 36516, each member of the Council will receive a salary of $_________ per month as compensation for serving on the City Council. This amount is based on the City’s population of 51,428, as set forth by the preceding 2020 federal census.
2.04.340 – Reimbursement.
The compensation set forth in this article excludes any amounts payable to members of the Council as reimbursement for actual and necessary expenses incurred in performing official Council duties.” SECTION 3. Environmental Assessment. Adoption of this Ordinance is exempt from further environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (Pub. Resources Code, § 21000 et seq., “CEQA”) and CEQA Guidelines (14 Cal.
Code of Regs., § 15000 et seq., “CEQA Guidelines”) because the Ordinance concerns compensation amounts and polices and therefore, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines § 15061(b)(3), it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that this Ordinance will have a significant effect on the environment.
