SUCCESSFUL IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES FROM OTHER KTUA PARK MASTER PLANS Level of Service Analysis
The KTUAteam uses state—of—theart GIS analysis tools to conduct all the park resource assessments. Rather than simply creating circular buffers around a park, KTUA uses a unique existing street network method along with park entry points to create realistic travel buffers. This method is more accurate and reflects actual travel distances rather than the oversimplified circular radii. This increases the accuracy of the utilized 10-minute park planning areas to be between 10%~20% more reflective of the community who's actually using the parks and therefore increases the accuracy of park planning recommendations.

AGENDA ITEM REPORT
To: City Council
Date: July 5, 2022
Department: Administrative Services
Prepared by: Geoffrey Buchheim, Administrative Services Director Subject: Proposed Resolution to Amend the Services Excluded by Option of the City Under the Section 218 Agreement of the Social Security Act RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Desert Hot Springs, California revising the exclusions under the City’s Section 218 agreement of the Social Security Act.
BACKGROUND:
Local government employees may be covered for Social Security by a Section 218 Agreement but under some circumstances, certain employees may be excluded from Social Security. A local government can elect to exclude the following services from the agreement:
1) Any service of an emergency nature;
2) All services in any class or classes of elective legislative positions; 3) All services in any class or classes of part-time election officer positions, part-time volunteer firemen positions, and part-time members of boards and commissions.
In February 1967, the City adopted an agreement for coverage under Section 218 of the Social Security Act with the option to exclude the above listed services. However, the City’s payroll records show that those services are not excluded from Social Security reporting and withholdings have occurred for a significant period of time.
DISCUSSION:
Staff has worked in collaboration with CalPERS and the Social Security Administration to determine the options available to rectify the situation. It has been determined that the most efficient solution would be to retroactively modify the Section 218 Agreement to remove the optional exclusions. This will cause the least disruption to the City, its employees, and former employees.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.
ATTACHMENTS:
Exhibit 1 - City of DHS Resolution Revising Exclusions under Section 218 Agreement Exhibit 2 - Application and Agreement under Section 218 of the Social Security Act Item Number: 13.
RESOLUTION
WHEREAS, City of Desert Hot Springs hereinafter designated as "Public Agency", desires to include services performed by its employees in positions in the California State Social Security Agreement of March 9, 1951, providing for the coverage of public employees under the old age, survivors, disability and health insurance system established by the Federal Social Security Act, as amended; and
WHEREAS, it is necessary that the "Public Agency" now designate any classes of positions which it desires to exclude from coverage under said insurance system; BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that upon receipt of authorization from the Board of Administration, as hereinbefore provided, with such coverage effective as to services performed on and after January 1, 1987; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the following classes of positions of the "Public Agency" shall be excluded from coverage under said agreement:
1. All services excluded from coverage under the agreement by Section 218 of the Social Security Act; and
2. Services excluded by option of the Public Agency (Check a or b; fill in b if checked):
a. No optional exclusions desired.
b. Service performed:
Item Number: 13.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Public Agency will pay and reimburse the State at such time and in such amounts as may be determined by the State the approximate cost of any and all work and services relating to such election.

AGENDA ITEM REPORT
To: City Council
Date: June 21, 2022
Department: City Clerk
Prepared by: Jerryl Soriano, City Clerk
Subject: An Ordinance and Urgency Ordinance Relating to Candidate Residency RECOMMENDATION:
1) Consider adopting (by 4/5 vote of the City Council) and read by title only: "An URGENCY Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Desert Hot Springs, California, adding Section 2.04.100 "Candidate Residency" to Article II "Elections" of the Desert Hot Springs Municipal Code;" AND 2) Consider introducing for First Reading and read by title only: "An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Desert Hot Springs, California, adding Section 2.04.100 "Candidate Residency" to Article II "Elections" of the Desert Hot Springs Municipal Code."
BACKGROUND:
Procedure:
This item has two similar ordinances:1) an Urgency Ordinance, and 2) a Non-Urgency Ordinance. This Urgency Ordinance needs a 4/5 vote of the Council, needs to be supported by findings (which are including in the Urgency Ordinance) and it takes effect immediately.
That said, the Non-Urgency Ordinance is an identical ordinance without the “urgency findings.” The Non-Urgency Ordinance is like any other ordinance which requires a majority vote and takes effect 30 days after its second reading. This two-pronged approach is common practice as a belts and suspenders approach.
DISCUSSION:
Currently, there is no durational residence requirement before a candidate files nomination papers. The proposed urgency and non-urgency ordinances for the City Council's consideration would add Section
2.04.100 "Candidate Residency" to the Desert Hot Springs Municipal Code to read as follows:
2.04.100 Candidate Residency
a. City Councilmember(s) must reside in the jurisdictional boundaries of their respective district for no fewer than thirty (30) days prior to filing nomination papers, and for the duration of their term. b. Mayoral candidate(s) must reside in the jurisdictional boundaries of the City no fewer than thirty (30) days prior to filing nomination papers, and for the duration of their term.
Item Number: 16.

c. Proof of residency in document form must be shown to the City Clerk upon filing nomination papers.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DESERT
HOT SPRINGS, CALIFORNIA, ADDING SECTION 2.04.100

2.04 regulates elections in the City; and

WHEREAS, in a by-district election system, a candidate for City Council must reside in the district which he or she wishes to represent, and only registered voters residing in the Council District may vote for candidates running for City Council in that District; and
WHEREAS, every election starts with a “Nomination Period,” which begins 113 days before the day of the election and ends 88 days before the day of the election; and WHEREAS, the nomination period begins on Monday, July 18, 2022, and ends on August 11, 2022; and
WHEREAS, the City Council will be dark for their last meeting in July and both meetings in August of 2022; and
WHEREAS, the City Council deems that this Ordinance clarifies the residency requirements of candidates for the municipal election; and WHEREAS, the City Council deems that adopting this Ordinance is important since the residency requirements must be in place prior to the close of the nomination period; and

WHEREAS, the City deems it appropriate to impose a durational residence requirement that is not longer than 30 days before a candidate files nomination papers; and
