AGENDA BILL
Agenda Item No. 7.C.

Date: July 16, 2024
To: El Cerrito City Council
From: Emily Graham, Executive Assistant; J.T. Wahrlich, Lieutenant, Police Department
Subject: Authorize the Purchase of two Hybrid Police Replacement Vehicles

ACTION PROPOSED
Adopt a Resolution authorizing the purchase of two (2) Hybrid Ford Explorer Police Interceptor vehicles for an amount not to exceed $63,000 per vehicle.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
The El Cerrito Police Department maintains a fleet of marked patrol vehicles which are used by uniformed patrol officers during their shift. Marked patrol vehicles are driven day and night and subjected to the demands of patrol use. The Department's fleet consists of vehicles of varying ages, with some over ten years old. Staff recommends replacing aging patrol vehicles with new Hybrid Ford Explorer Police Interceptors. Staff plans to replace two 2013 Ford Patrol Interceptor sedans. These vehicles have reached the end of their service lives due to increasing maintenance costs and lower reliability associated with high mileage. The proposed prices of approximately $63,000 per vehicle were negotiated by state bid and are reflected in State Contract #1-22-23-14C.

Pursuant to Administrative Policy III.1, purchases from the California Department of General Services approved vendor list do not require competitive bidding.

STRATEGIC PLAN CONSIDERATIONS
This action supports the City’s Strategic Plan Goal(s) of:
• Community Safety by ensuring that police staff have reliable vehicles to respond to emergency incidents; and
• Environmental Sustainability by purchasing vehicles that will be more fuel efficient than their predecessors.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS
The Ford Explorer Police Interceptors sought by staff are hybrid vehicles. These vehicles use both an internal combustion engine and an electric motor for propulsion.

They are more fuel efficient than other similarly equipped police vehicles. The Police Department does not currently have the infrastructure to support fully electric vehicles.

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
Funding for this purchase is included in the Fiscal Year 2024-25 Police Department General Fund budget ($126,000). No additional appropriations are requested.

RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EL CERRITO AUTHORIZING THE PURCHASE OF TWO 2025 HYBRID FORD EXPLORER POLICE INTERCEPTORS FOR AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $63,000 PER VEHICLE
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of El Cerrito adopted the fiscal year 2024- 25 Operating Budget for the City of El Cerrito; and

Agenda Item No. 7.D.

Date: July 16, 2024
To: El Cerrito City Council
From: Alexandra Orologas, Assistant City Manager, City Management Subject: Consulting Services Agreement with Renne Public Policy Group for Grant Writing and Legislative Advocacy Services

ACTION PROPOSED
Adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a consulting services agreement with Renne Public Policy Group (RPPG) in the amount not to exceed $83,000 for grant writing and legislative advocacy services.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
On July 19, 2022, the City Council authorized the City Manager to enter into a consulting services agreement for one year with Renne Public Policy Group (RPPG) for grant writing services in an amount not to exceed $60,000. In August 2023, the City Manager entered into a subsequent agreement with RPPG under the City Manager's contract authority for an additional 10 months of grant writing services in an amount not to exceed $45,000. In October 2023, the contract was amended to include legislative advocacy services on a trial basis through the duration of the contract with no additional funding allocated.

The goal for acquiring grant writing services is for the City to have the ability to continue to identify and seek grant opportunities to address critical service delivery needs and necessary capital infrastructure improvements that align with the City's Strategic Plan.

The City's engagement with RPPG has made it possible for the City to actively advance and maximize grant opportunities to address appropriate needs, which the City would otherwise be required to be utilized from existing budgetary resources. As a result, RPPG has secured $205,000 for the City in planning and technical assistance grants for local public fleet electrification planning and tennis court improvements. Two competitive grant applications have been submitted and are currently being evaluated by FEMA for the acquisition of fire apparatuses, and seven grant applications were submitted but ultimately not funded.

In addition, RPPG staff have worked closely with City staff and Congressman John Garamendi's Office in getting two community funding requests focused on wildfire mitigation and Complete Streets valued at approximately $2,000,000, which were forwarded to the Federal Appropriations Committee and included in the current Federal Appropriations Bill. Staff and RPPG also worked together with Senator Laphonza Butler's Office to submit one Congressionally directed spending request valued at approximately $16.9 million for the El Cerrito Plaza Library Project, which has been forwarded to the Senate Appropriations Committee for review.

Agenda Packet Page 26 of 330
Agenda Item No. 7.D.

The goal for acquiring legislative advocacy services is to keep the City Council and staff informed of proposed legislation, initiatives, or funding opportunities that align with City's key priorities, programs, or operations. RPPG tracks, reviews, and analyzes any introduced and amended legislation, and advocates on legislation and any state budget issues impacting El Cerrito. For example, RPPG advised the City about a pending application and subsequent proposed legislation that would ultimately relieve AT&T as the Carrier of Last Resort (COLR) for landlines, which would have a significant public safety impact on El Cerrito residents in the event of an emergency. Because of the City's engagement with RPPG, the City was quickly equipped to send separate pieces of correspondence to the Public Utilities Commission (PUC) and Assemblymember McKinnor opposing the application and proposed legislation. As a result of the cumulative input provided by stakeholders like El Cerrito who shared the same concern, the PUC declined AT&T's application and AB 2797 was withdrawn.

Having a legislative advocate with a physical presence in Sacramento is important for tracking legislation or funding opportunities that might affect the City, and will help in building relationships with key elected officials and their offices so that the City's voice is heard. As a part of those efforts, in March 2024, Mayor Rudnick and Councilmembers Fadelli and Motoyama along with City staff visited Sacramento to attend meetings organized by RPPG to create new and maintain relationships with state lawmakers and key administrative agency officials, drive awareness about the City's accomplishments, and to advocate for funding to support key projects aligned with the City's Strategic Plan. The City team met with Assemblymember Buffy Wicks and representatives from Senator Nancy Skinner's Office, CalFIRE, Caltrans, and CalOES.

As a part of the forthcoming contract, RPPG will work with Staff to advise and develop an annual and multi-year legislative platform and strategic plan with City Council input.

This will provide a policy framework for the City to respond to issues quickly, including correspondence from the Mayor or City Manager to the Legislature, Congress, or other entities.

Staff is recommending a one-year contract not to exceed $83,000 for grant writing and legislative advocacy services with RPPG (Exhibit A to the Resolution). This includes $6,500 per month retainer plus up to $5,000 of additional reimbursable expenses if needed.

STRATEGIC PLAN CONSIDERATIONS
This action supports the City’s Strategic Plan Goal(s) of:
• High Performing Organization; and
• Community Safety; and
• Livability and Belonging; and
• Infrastructure and Amenities; and
• Environmental Sustainability.

EXHIBIT A & B

SCOPE OF SERVICES/PAYMENT SCHEDULE
Scope of Services
The services to be performed by the Consultant shall consist of providing all-inclusive expert grant writing services and legislative advocacy on retainer. This includes the following, but not limited to:

Grant Writing Services
• Project Management: RPPG will provide grant writing and project management services, from start to finish of the proposal development process. This includes the preparation of funding abstracts, project narratives, and required forms and attachments. The grant writer will convene a “kickoff” meeting for each project and will outline expectations for all staff involved in preparing the application, including a projected time commitment for each City staff member. RPPG will develop a strategic work plan for the development of a proposal, take the lead in scheduling meetings, and work to obtain relevant information from stakeholders.
• Funding Opportunity Research: RPPG conducts continuous and comprehensive research, keeping clients informed of upcoming grant opportunities. The City of El Cerrito will receive a monthly “Funding Opportunities Catalog” documenting current and cyclical grant programs from federal agencies, state agencies, and private foundations. Targeted research is available on an “on-call” basis.
• Monitoring the State Budget: RPPG’s grant writer works directly with legislative advocates who provide updates and analysis on the state budget and trailer bills, allowing the grant writer to effectively identify funding opportunities ahead of the official postings by government agencies.
• Strategic Planning: RPPG works directly with organizational leadership teams to identify funding and service gaps to inform grant-seeking activities. RPPG schedules annual “deep dive” meetings with clients to focus on key priorities for the upcoming year and then uses those priorities to develop a “Funding Opportunities Assessment” to guide the organization’s grant-seeking activities.
• Collaborative Approach: RPPG utilizes a collaborative grant writing process to put together highly competitive proposals. Skilled consultants understand that leveraging the subject matter expertise of our clients is critical to success. RPPG uses cloud-based document sharing services to enable real-time feedback from clients throughout the proposal development process.

Agenda Packet Page 46 of 330
• Quality Control: Prior to submitting a grant application, RPPG’s grant writer will review the contents of each form, check for typographical or grammatical errors, and ensure that all required components for a complete proposal are included in the application package. • Consistent Communication: RPPG schedules monthly “Grant Activity Calls” to keep clients informed of upcoming funding opportunities and progress on grant-seeking activities. These updates also come in the form of monthly written reports distributed to the organization’s leadership team. RPPG’s grant writer will be available upon request for meetings with staff related to assigned projects.

Legislative Advocacy
• State Legislative and Regulatory Engagement, Tracking, and Advocacy. RPPG will track, review, and analyze any introduced and amended legislation and advocate on legislation and any State Budget issues impacting El Cerrito. We will assist in evaluating proposed legislation and identifying priorities based upon their potential impact, and we will consult on and develop strategic documents that include draft policy and regulatory positions, budgetary letters, a priority legislative tracking matrix customized according to your specifications, budget analysis, and background papers to ensure that you are kept informed of the latest developments and that your voice is heard by policymakers and stakeholders. In addition, RPPG will assist in developing, drafting, and sponsoring state legislation and amendments needed to advance your goals and priorities.
• Participate and Advise in Annual Legislative Strategic Planning. Establishing a proactive strategy plays an important role in your overall success. Through a series of “deep dive” meetings, RPPG will work with the City’s staff and leadership to discuss and identify whom to include internally in discussions to determine goals, objectives, opportunities, and challenges related to El Cerrito ’s priorities. We will use this information to develop an annual and multiyear legislative strategic plan that reflects your unique organizational needs. • Explore Potential Funding Opportunities, General Fund. With State budget deficits, being projected at close to $45 Billion for FY-24-25, direct General Fund earmarks will be limited if not entirely eliminated in the short term. That is why it is critical that El Cerrito partner with a team that has a proven track record of securing funding through the Federal Community Project Program, as well as through other federal, state, and regional grant opportunities. Our proposed team is composed of diverse professionals who have secured over $300 million in federal, state, and regional funding in just over the past 4 years alone.

We will work with your staff to identify General Fund, community projects and grant opportunities to explore any viable funding opportunity—leaving no stone unturned. • Representation. RPPG will represent the City at policy-related meetings, conferences, events, regulatory proceedings, legislative hearings, and other appropriate venues to deliver comments and testimony and give you a consistent presence in the Capitol.

Agenda Packet Page 47 of 330
• Frequent, Reliable Communication. Keeping you fully informed is a top priority. Our team will provide regular written and verbal communications and updates to keep El Cerrito up to date on our advocacy efforts, individual tasks, and timeline for meeting milestones.

Regular communication between El Cerrito and our team will also ensure that we are responsive to the direction of your Council and staff throughout the entire State Budget and legislative processes. This will include monthly written policy status and activity reports, along with more in-depth reports and recaps during each major milestone throughout the legislative year (e.g., every budget milestone, bill introduction deadline, house of origin deadline, summer recess, and end of session). We will supplement these reports with an updated legislative matrix and, during the legislative session, a monthly check-in via Zoom with City staff where we will review legislation and brief you on the latest developments. • Relationship Building. By the end of 2024, the Legislature will have fully turned over since 2012. This provides an opportunity for El Cerrito to establish new relationships both inside and outside its legislative delegation. RPPG will build on your presence in Sacramento to assist in further developing robust relationships with legislative leaders, the Administration, key state agencies, staff, and regulatory bodies. We will continue to foster our relationships within your state legislative delegation, the Governor’s Office, California Natural Resources Agency, California Air Resources Board, CalRecycle, State Water Resources Control Board, Department of Water Resources, and other departments and agencies with funding programs, regulations, or initiatives that may intersect with your identified needs and priorities. Our firm will make meeting recommendations, schedule arrangements, and strategize in advance on messaging. This approach ensures that we have laid the groundwork for El Cerrito ’s bill proposals year over year. • Educational Tour. Guided by your legislative priorities, RPPG is prepared to conduct an educational tour in the Capitol to drive awareness on the issues of greatest importance to El Cerrito. This will ensure that the appropriate communication channels with legislative staff and legislators remain open throughout the 2025- 2026 legislative session and beyond. • Other Stakeholder Engagement. To advance your budget and legislative priorities, RPPG will secure the support of potential stakeholders, including identifying, prioritizing, leading outreach efforts to relevant stakeholders, and building and working with related coalitions.

Our experience working with organized labor and the business industry will best position the City and to help meet both short- and long-term goals.
• FPPC. RPPG will file all required forms on behalf of El Cerrito, including but not limited to forms 602 (annual Lobbying Firm Activity Authorization) and 635 (Report of Lobbyist Employer).

AGENDA BILL
Agenda Item No. 7.E.

Date: July 16, 2024
To: El Cerrito City Council
From: Shannon Bassi, Senior Human Resources Analyst, City Management Subject: Part-Time Minimum Wage Equity Adjustments

ACTION PROPOSED
Adopt a resolution to modify the City's part-time hourly salary schedule effective the first full pay period of September 2024 to comply with the City's Minimum Wage Ordinance, eliminate salary compaction, successfully recruit and retain talented staff, and ensure the City's Recreation Programs are sustainable.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
On November 17, 2015, City Council adopted an ordinance to establish a local minimum wage in El Cerrito starting in 2016, with stepped increases to raise the rate to $15.00 an hour by 2019 and annual adjustments thereafter. The City of El Cerrito's 2024 Minimum Wage is currently at $17.92 per hour. This is higher than the State of California's minimum wage rate, which is currently $16.00 per hour as of January 1, 2024. A number of other cities in the Bay Area also have local minimum wage standards, including Richmond, Berkeley, Emeryville, San Francisco, San Jose, Mountain View, Sunnyvale, Santa Clara and Palo Alto. Additionally, Assembly Bill 1228 established wages for certain businesses in the Fast Food Restaurant and Healthcare Facility industries. Effective April 1, 2024, Fast Food Restaurant workers (for chains with 60 or more locations around the nation) will have a higher minimum wage of $20.00 per hour. Effective June 1, 2024, Healthcare Facility workers will earn a minimum of $18.00, $21.00, or $23.00 per hour, depending on what type of facility employs them and where they work.

While the City's Minimum Wage Ordinance has been beneficial in creating equitable wages for all workers in El Cerrito, it has also caused a growing salary compaction issue for a number of years with the City's current part-time hourly pay structure. Each year the increases in the City's minimum wage rate are calculated and based on changes in the local Consumer Price Index (CPI). Part-time salaries are also increased by each negotiated Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) upon agreement with bargaining units such as Service Employees International Union (SEIU) Local 1021. Over the last five or more years, the minimum wage increases based on CPI have been growing at a faster rate than negotiated COLAs, causing a salary compaction issue with the current salary structure. For example, the pay rate at Step 1 and Step 2 of entry level classifications, such as Childcare Aide and Lifeguard, are superseded by the City's current minimum wage rate, which is greater. Furthermore, the compaction issue is causing new hires to be placed at the same or similar rate of pay for those staff who are more experienced or have more years of service with the City, due to the current minimum wage rate being comparable to Step 3 of the current entry level pay grades.

Agenda Packet Page 51 of 330
Agenda Item No. 7.E.

City staff conducted a thorough analysis of the current part-time salary structure and determined rate increases are necessary for a number of reasons. The proposed pay rate changes for certain classifications (shown in Attachment 2) will provide a long-term solution to resolve the current minimum wage compaction issues, hopefully for a number of years into the future, especially as City staff anticipates the minimum wage will continue to increase. This will also ensure that the City's part-time salary structure remains legally compliant with the City of El Cerrito Minimum Wage Ordinance. The analysis examined each classification to ensure there is an equitable pay differential between higher and lower classifications within the pay structure, and consistent pay differentials between each pay step. Additionally, the analysis included surveying salary data from local neighboring agencies with similar Recreation programs, especially Aquatics and Childcare programs, since these require a unique skill set and certified staff to manage the programs. The classifications represented in this analysis are positions such as Childcare Aides/Teachers, Lifeguards, Pool Managers, and Van Drivers who work the front lines of some of the City's most crucial programs and services. The proposed rates are competitive and will allow the City to effectively recruit and retain talented staff in order to ensure that City programs are sustainable and can continue providing outstanding services to the community.

It should be noted that some of the classifications referenced on the proposed salary schedule are in the meet-and-confer bargaining process with SEIU, as part of the larger Classification and Compensation Study that was completed. Salaries for those newly created positions will not go into effect until City Council has formally approved the new classifications.

The proposed changes will be effective the first full pay period of September 2024.

Upon approval of the salary schedule, City staff will review each employees' current rate of pay and make appropriate and necessary adjustments to resolve the internal compaction issue.

AGENDA BILL
Agenda Item No. 7.F.

Date: July 16, 2024
To: El Cerrito City Council
From: Shannon Bassi, Senior Human Resources Analyst, City Management Subject: Resolution to Amend the City's Classification Plan

ACTION PROPOSED
Adopt a resolution amending the City's Classification Plan to 1) authorize revisions to the existing classifications of Management Assistant, Permit Technician I/II, Assistant - Associate Planner, Firefighter/Firefighter Paramedic, Fire Engineer/Fire Engineer Paramedic, Fire Captain/Fire Captain Paramedic, Aquatics Assistant I/II, Pool Manager and 2) authorize the new classifications and/or title changes of Fire Prevention Officer I/II, Senior Management Assistant, Senior Permit Technician, Neighborhood Preservation Officer I/II, Program Coordinator, Aquatics Instructor I/II/III, Lifeguard I/II, Senior Lifeguard, Facility Attendant.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
Per Section 3.10.050 of the El Cerrito Municipal Code, the City Council is responsible for adopting Personnel Rules that govern the City's civil service system and Classification Plan. This includes any revisions or amendments to position classifications and job descriptions. The recently completed Classification and Compensation Study provided a valuable opportunity to review all of the City's classifications, and propose changes and modifications where needed to accurately reflect the work of City staff.

The classification portion of the study focused on creating and modifying job classifications that accurately represent the body of work that staff perform, create methods of effective recruitment, retain a talented workforce, and maintain an emphasis on providing excellent customer service. Additionally, each classification was reviewed through an equity lens to ensure the City is creating and promoting a diverse workforce.

The Human Resources Division and the project consultant Koff and Associates worked continuously through the study's process with Department and Division Managers, bargaining units, and other City staff to review all class specifications throughout the City to confirm they are representative of the organizational changes, City services, and duties that have evolved. As a result, all the City's job descriptions were revised, and must now be reviewed by the City Council for final approval. Given the number of job descriptions evaluated, staff plans to bring back a set of proposed classifications to the City Council at each Council meeting until all job descriptions are approved.

The attached proposed job descriptions are presented for City Council's review and approval:

SUPERVISION RECEIVED AND EXERCISED

Exercises no direct supervision over staff.

CLASS CHARACTERISTICS
Permit Technician I: This is the entry-level classification in the Permit Technician series. Initially under close supervision, incumbents learn and perform routine building permit application review and processing and permit issuance. As experience is gained, assignments become more varied and complex; close supervision and frequent review of work lessen as an incumbent demonstrates skill to perform the work independently. Positions at this level usually perform most of the duties required of the positions at the Permit Technician II-level but are not expected to function at the same skill level and usually exercise less independent discretion and judgment in matters related to work procedures and methods. Work is usually supervised while in progress and fits an established structure or pattern. Exceptions or changes in procedures are explained in detail as they arise.

Permit Technician II: This is the journey-level classification in the Permit Technician series. Positions at this level are distinguished from the Permit Technician I-level by the performance of the full range of duties as assigned including processing applications and issuing permits for large, complex commercial and/or subdivision projects, working independently, and exercising judgment and initiative. Positions at this level receive only occasional instruction or assistance as new or unusual situations arise and are fully aware of the operating procedures and policies of the work unit.

Positions in the Permit Technician classification series are flexibly staffed; positions at Permit Technician II may be filled by advancement from Permit Technician I; progression to the II-level is dependent on (i) management affirmation that the position is performing the full range of duties assigned to the classification; (ii) satisfactory work performance; (iii) the incumbent meeting the minimum qualifications for the classification including any licenses and certifications; and (iv) management approval for progression to Permit Technician II.

Positions at this level exercise judgement and initiative in their assigned tasks, receive only occasional instruction or assistance as new or unusual situations arise and are fully aware of the operating procedures and policies of the work unit. The Aquatics Assistant II is distinguished from the Administrative Assistant series in that the latter performs a broad range of routine to complex administrative support duties that require thorough knowledge of assigned department, division, or program, its procedures, and operational detail.

Fire Prevention Officer I: This is the entry-level classification in the Fire Prevention Officer series.  Initially under close supervision, incumbents learn and perform routine to moderately complex inspections of public and privately-owned buildings for compliance with fire safety standards as established by federal, state, and local codes and ordinances.  As experience is gained, assignments become more varied and complex; close supervision and frequent review of work lessen as an incumbent demonstrates skill to perform the work independently.  Positions at this level usually perform most of the duties required of the positions at the Fire Prevention Officer II level but are not expected to function at the same skill level and usually exercise less independent discretion and judgment in matters related to work procedures and methods.  Work is usually supervised while in progress and fits an established structure or pattern.

Exceptions or changes in procedures are explained in detail as they arise.

Positions at this level receive only occasional instruction or assistance as new or unusual situations arise and are fully aware of the operating procedures and policies of the work unit.

Positions in this class series are flexibly staffed and positions at the Fire Prevention Officer II level are normally filled by advancement from the Fire Prevention Officer I level. When hired from the outside, the employee is required to have prior related experience which allows the employee to meet the qualification standards for the Fire Prevention Officer II level.
