Everyone is urged to recognize, appreciate, and exercise civility; the simple truths of our democracy depend on it; and WHEREAS, National Civility Month is held in August each year; and WHEREAS, El Cerrito adheres to the basic virtues of kindness and respect, and sees that civility is a critical component of a free society.

AGENDA BILL
Agenda Item No. 7.F.

Date: August 20, 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 Van Driver II, Administrative Assistant I/II and 2) authorize new classifications of Fire Marshal, Van Driver I and Neighborhood Preservation Program Coordinator.

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

Existing Classifications With Proposed Changes:
• Van Driver II
• Administrative Assistant I/II

VAN DRIVER I-II

DEFINITION
Under immediate (Van Driver I) to general supervision (Van Driver II), drives a passenger van, bus, or equivalent vehicle to transport patrons between locations using an established schedule and on special trips by dispatch or prior arrangement; assists elderly patrons in and out of the vehicle; load, unload, and secure wheelchairs and other accessories in the vehicle; and performs related work as required.

SUPERVISION RECEIVED AND EXERCISED
Receives general supervision from assigned supervisory or management personnel. Exercises no direct supervision over staff.

CLASS CHARACTERISTICS
Van Driver I: This is the entry-level classification in the series. Initially under close supervision, incumbents learn and perform routine driver and passenger transportation duties while learning City policies and procedures. As experience is gained, 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 II-level. 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.

Van Driver II: This is the journey-level classification in the series. Positions at this level are distinguished from the I-level by the possession of a California Class B driver’s license. 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 Van Driver class series are flexibly staffed; positions at the II-level are normally filled by advancement from the I-level or through previous experience; 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 the II-level.

CLASS CHARACTERISTICS
Administrative Assistant I: This is the entry-level classification in the Administrative Assistant series.

Initially under close supervision, incumbents learn and perform routine administrative support, while learning City policies and procedures. As experience is gained, assignments become more varied, complex, and difficult; 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 Administrative Assistant 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.

Administrative Assistant II: This is the journey-level classification in the Administrative Assistant series.

Positions at this level are distinguished from the Administrative Assistant I-level by the performance of the full range of duties as assigned, 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. The Administrative Assistant II classification is distinguished from the Management Assistant in that the latter performs work involving more complexity, use of independent judgement, and managing multiple tasks, deadlines, and projects simultaneously.

Positions in the Administrative Assistant class series are flexibly staffed; positions at Administrative Assistant II are normally filled by advancement from Administrative Assistant I; progression to Administrative Assistant II 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 Administrative Assistant II.

AGENDA BILL
Agenda Item No. 7.G.

Date: August 20, 2024
To: El Cerrito City Council
From: Eric Saylors, Fire Chief, Fire Department
Subject: Execute an Agreement For The Lease Purchase of Five EKG Monitors And Three Mechanical CPR Devices For An Annual Amount Not To Exceed $79,000 With A Total Price Of $332,000 $432,000.

ACTION PROPOSED
Adopt a Resolution authorizing a sixty-six month lease purchase of five EKG monitors and three mechanical CPR devices for an amount not to exceed $79,000 per year, for a total purchase price of $331,173 $432,000.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
One of the primary missions of the El Cerrito Fire Department is responding to emergency medical incidents. The Fire Department is an Advanced Life Support (ALS) provider in Contra Costa County. Per the California Code of Regulation, Title 22, all emergency medical providers in the United States are governed by the local emergency medical authority (LESMA). The Contra Costa County LEMSA requires all ALS providers to respond to medical incidents with certified and functioning electrocardiogram (EKG) monitors. In addition, the El Cerrito Fire Department uses a mechanical Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) device to increase the survival rate of patients under Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation.

The Fire Department currently owns five EKG monitors ("LifePak Monitors") and three mechanical CPR devices ("Lucas Devices") manufactured by Stryker. Both the EKG monitors and mechanical CPR devices are beyond their service life and therefore are unserviceable by the manufacturer. Contra Costa County, which provides the City with medical transportation services, only uses Stryker monitors and mechanical CPR devices. In addition, El Cerrito Firefighters as well as their regional counterparts, which provide mutual aid, are only trained in Stryker monitors and mechanical CPR devices.

Stryker is the sole source provider of LifePak Monitors and Lucas Devices.

The total cost to replace the equipment, including interest, is $331,173 $432,000, which includes five LifePak Monitors, three Lucas Devices and all required accessories from Stryker. Stryker is offering the City of El Cerrito a lease-to-own purchase agreement for sixty-six months with a monthly payment of $6,544.23 or approximately $79,000 per year for the duration of the lease. The City's Adopted Budget for Fiscal Year 2024-2025 and 2025-2026 included sufficient funds in the Fire Department budget to cover the annual costs for the first two years.

Agenda Packet Page 60 of 106
Agenda Item No. 7.G.

STRATEGIC PLAN CONSIDERATIONS

This section is not applicable to this agenda item.

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
The initial funding for this purchase is included as an ongoing cost in the Fiscal Year 2024-25 and 2025-26 Fire Department General Fund budgets ($79,000 per year). The funding would continue through Fiscal Years 2026-27, 2027-28, and 2028-29 and will be included in those budgets. No additional appropriations are requested.

AGENDA BILL
Agenda Item No. 7.H.

Date: August 20, 2024
To: El Cerrito City Council
From: Christopher Jones, Recreation Director, Recreation Department Subject: Amendment of the License Agreement with the Kensington Police Protection & Community Services District Extending the Use of Site and Amenities at 10940 San Pablo Avenue

ACTION PROPOSED
Adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute an amendment to the license agreement with the Kensington Police Protection and Community Services District extending the temporary usage of the modular building and other site amenities located at 10940 San Pablo Avenue for an additional three years with options to extend in two-year increments.

BACKGROUND
In July 2022, the City entered into a license agreement with the Kensington Police Protection and Community Services District (KPPCSD) for the usage of the site and a temporary modular building located at 10940 San Pablo Avenue, formerly one of the buildings that comprised the Midtown Activity Center. The agreement created a mutually beneficial solution for El Cerrito and the KPPCSD. The City was able to reduce expenses as part of its Fiscal Response Plan and the KPPCSD was able to secure a suitable and affordable space to continue police and district operations uninterrupted while a temporary and/or permanent location is identified within Kensington itself.

The initial term of the agreement remained in effect through August 2023 and included the option to extend, which was executed through mutual agreement between the City Manager and KPPCSD's Interim General Manager for an additional year through August 2024. No additional options to extend are contained in the current license agreement. Therefore, the City Council must approve an amendment to the license agreement in order for the KPPCSD to remain on site.

The KPPCSD has requested to amend the existing license agreement to allow them to remain on site for at least the next three years with the option to extend the agreement two years at a time until such time they can move their physical location back to Kensington. The KPPCSD has identified a preferred permanent location in Kensington and has begun to study the feasibility of that site. Even if KPPCSD is able to proceed with this option, the amount of time needed to acquire approvals, secure funding, complete design, construction, etc. is estimated to be at least three years.

Agenda Packet Page 70 of 106
Agenda Item No. 7.H.

ANALYSIS
The usage of the City's property by the KPPCSD at 10940 San Pablo Avenue over the past two years has been a successful collaboration between neighbors. Staff from both agencies believe that a continued partnership moving forward will benefit residents from both communities. Staff from the City and the KPPCSD met to discuss an amendment to the license agreement and agreed to the attached amendment, summarized below, for the City Council's consideration. Staff is requesting that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute the attached license agreement and allow the City Manager to make minor amendments, if necessary, to the agreement that would not significantly increase the City's obligations.

Main Terms of the First Amendment to the License Agreement:

1. The initial term of the amendment will span three years, from September 1, 2024, to August 31, 2027.
a. Either party may terminate the agreement during the initial term with six months' notice or by mutual agreement.
b. If the KPPCSD terminates the agreement during the initial renewal term, an early termination fee equivalent to the balance of the fees owed for the three-year term will apply.

2. The license fee is set at $1,000 per month, with a 5% increase each fiscal year.

3. Optional renewal terms following the initial term can be agreed upon by the City Manager and the KPPCSD General Manager, for additional two-year periods. a. These extensions will not require City Council approval, although the City Council can direct the City Manager to terminate or not renew the agreement at any time.
b. During a renewal term, either party can terminate the agreement with six months' notice or by mutual agreement, with no early termination fee.

4. The City will cover the original removal fees of $17,099.56 as per the initial contract with Mobile Modular.
a. Any additional removal fees beyond this amount will be the responsibility of the KPPCSD.

5. All other provisions of the original license agreement will remain in effect.

At this time, there are no formal plans for the City's property at 10940 San Pablo Avenue. If a project were to materialize, it is unlikely to be implemented within the next three years, and less likely within the six-month termination period identified in the proposed amendment. A longer license term(s) provides the KPPCSD with a stable base of operations and time to plan for a permanent location in Kensington without having to bear the expense and disruption of relocation. By supporting Kensington’s police operations, El Cerrito helps to ensure that both communities remain safe while collecting revenue for an underutilized property.

Agenda Packet Page 71 of 106
Agenda Item No. 7.H.

The monthly license fees of the initial term guarantee revenue to the City for the next three years and are structured to cover the costs of sewer fees, the modular building return fee (above), and other expenses necessary to restore the property after building removal for City parking, storage, and future needs and opportunities. Revenue above this amount may be utilized for other City needs as approved by the City Council.

STRATEGIC PLAN CONSIDERATIONS
This action supports the City’s Strategic Plan Goal(s) of:
• High Performing Organization; and
• Community Safety

ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS
This section is not applicable to this agenda item.

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
There are no expenses associated with this item. Approval of the First Amendment to the License Agreement between the KPPCSD and the City will provide sufficient revenue to cover the City's financial obligations and restoration needs at 10940 San Pablo Avenue once the KPPCSD vacates the property.

LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS
The City Attorney has reviewed this agenda item and found that legal considerations have been addressed.

AGENDA BILL
Agenda Item No. 8.A.

Date: August 20, 2024
To: El Cerrito City Council
From: Traviss Crumpacker, Fire Prevention Officer; Chase Beckman, Fire Marshal, Fire Department
Subject: Fire Hazard Abatement

ACTION PROPOSED
1) Adopt a resolution declaring that weeds, rubbish, litter, or other flammable material on certain real property identified in the resolution constitutes a public nuisance; and 2) Conduct a public hearing; and 3) Adopt a resolution overriding objections by property owners and ordering the City Manager or their designee to abate certain public nuisances pursuant to El Cerrito Municipal Code Chapter 16.26.

BACKGROUND
Following the Oakland/Berkeley Hills Fire in October 1991, El Cerrito needed a comprehensive citywide program to reduce hill area fire hazards in the City. The "fire storm" in the Oakland/Berkeley Hills was in fact an urban conflagration, fueled by vegetation among homes and large acreage properties that was driven by seasonally strong dry winds from the east. The fire destroyed over 3,000 dwellings. At the time of the Oakland/Berkeley Hills Fire, El Cerrito faced similar fire hazard conditions in the City's hill area. The City Council was determined to reduce those fire hazards by all reasonable means.

El Cerrito's comprehensive fire hazard reduction program focused upon reducing fire hazards in four areas: (1) City property (2) property owned by other agencies (3) large landowner's property (4) residential property. The City began a comprehensive planning process to reduce fire hazards on City property, other agencies’ properties, and large landholder's properties. These property owners were approached about reducing fire hazards on their properties. Prior efforts at fire hazard reduction on private residential property relied on voluntary compliance by the owners. The City Council concluded that stronger measures were necessary to enforce the laws regarding abatement of fire hazards on residential private property.

The Fire Hazard Abatement Program is designed to reduce fire hazards on a large number of private properties during the spring and early summer months. A process of advance notice and hearings for property owners is coupled with a public education program involving the promulgation of standards for vegetation management in residents’ yards and vacant lots.

This program seeks to remove weeds, rubbish, litter or other flammable material from private properties where such flammable material endangers the public safety by creating a public nuisance and a fire hazard.

Agenda Packet Page 80 of 106
Agenda Item No. 8.A.

Most property owners voluntarily abate these hazards without Fire Department involvement. However, we anticipate that a small number of owners are content to have the City do the work and place the costs on their tax bill. For 30 years, the City’s annual Fire Hazard Abatement Program has been very successful in reducing fire hazards throughout the hill neighborhoods of El Cerrito. Indeed, this program has become a model program which other fire jurisdictions have borrowed from.

ANALYSIS
Beginning in May of this year, the Fire Department conducted Citywide fire hazard inspections of all properties. The inspections began on May 4, 2024, and have continued due to re-growth and citizen complaints. As a result of the on-going inspections, a list of properties containing public nuisances was generated and continues to be amended as additional properties are identified. Between July 16th and 23rd, the identified properties in violation of El Cerrito Municipal Code Chapter 16.26 were notified in writing of the hazards on their property and to abate those hazardous conditions. The El Cerrito Vegetation Management Standards Checklist was included with the notification (Attachment 6). Additionally, these property owners were informed in the letter from the Fire Marshal (Attachment 4) of the time, date, and location of the upcoming City Council meeting where their properties would be declared a public nuisance and abatement would be ordered. Property owners were directed to complete the necessary measures to bring their property into compliance prior to the second round of the re-inspection process which began in August and continued through the date of the August 20, 2024, meeting. The properties that were not voluntarily abated after the first notice are listed within the Master Abatement List, Exhibit A to the proposed Resolution (List of Properties.)
This public hearing is the next step in the process to eliminate hazards on private properties that were identified as public nuisances and that were not voluntarily abated.

In order to achieve full compliance, the City Council is asked to declare the properties to be a public nuisance and direct the City Manager or their designee to abate such public nuisance conditions. Actual City-ordered abatement of fire hazards occurs only after all efforts at providing notice, information, and a public hearing have failed to induce voluntary compliance by the property owner.

The Fire Hazard Abatement process, under the direction of the Fire Department, should proceed according to El Cerrito Municipal Code Chapter 16.26, which specifies the following:

1. The Fire Department determines that hazards must be abated. Pursuant to these code sections, "hazards" are defined as weeds, rubbish, litter, or other flammable materials which create a fire hazard or are otherwise noxious or dangerous and which exist on specific parcels of property within the City.

2. The Fire Department shall post notice on each property or send notice by mail that the El Cerrito Fire Department has determined the existence of a public nuisance which must be abated and that a hearing will be held to consider any Agenda Packet Page 81 of 106
Agenda Item No. 8.A.
objections prior to the City Council declaring the properties to be a public nuisance and ordering the City Manager or their designee to perform abatement.

3. At the August 20, 2024, City Council meeting, the City Council shall first adopt a resolution Declaring that Weeds, Rubbish, Litter, or Other Flammable Material on Certain Real Property Constitutes a Public Nuisance (Attachment 1 and 2).

4. At the same hearing, but after adoption of the first resolution, the City Council shall hear and consider all objections to declaration of public nuisances or the procedures proposed for abatement of the same. After the hearing, the Council shall adopt a resolution Overriding Objections by Property Owners and Ordering the City Manager or their Designee to Abate Certain Public Nuisances Pursuant to Chapter 16.26 (Attachment 3).

5. At the conclusion of the August 20, 2024, hearing, a second and final notice shall be sent to each property owner prior to abatement (Attachment 7). This notice will order the immediate abatement of nuisance conditions. This notice will clearly state that if nuisance conditions are ignored, the City shall cause abatement and costs for removal will be assessed against the property as a lien and special assessment. It will also indicate that if the conditions are voluntarily abated, the property shall be removed from the process.

6. If the nuisance is not abated between August 21, 2024, and September 20, 2024, prior to the arrival of the hazard abatement crew, the City of El Cerrito shall cause the weeds, rubbish, refuse, and other flammable material to be removed and shall keep an account of the cost of abatement for each parcel of land where such work is performed according to the City Council adopted Fire Department Master Fee Schedule.

7. At the October 15, 2024 City Council meeting the City Manager or their designee shall submit to the City Council for confirmation an itemized written report showing the cost of abatement work performed. A copy of this report shall be posted for at least ten (10) days prior to its submission to the City Council. Each property owner upon whose property abatement work was performed shall be sent written notice by mail of a hearing by the City Council to consider the cost of abatement work performed on their property.

8. At the City Council Meeting on October 15, 2024, the City Council shall receive and consider the written staff report on abatement actions taken by the City and shall hear any objections from the property owners liable to be assessed for the abatement. The City Council may modify the staff report if deemed appropriate and then confirm the report by motion or resolution.

9. After City Council confirmation of the report, a certified copy of the report shall be filed with the Contra Costa County auditor who shall add the amount of the assessment to the next regular tax bill levied against the parcel.

STRATEGIC PLAN CONSIDERATIONS
This action supports the City’s Strategic Plan Goal(s) of:
• Community Safety.

Agenda Packet Page 82 of 106
Agenda Item No. 8.A.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS
The Fire Hazard Abatement Program is exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Sections 15304 and 15308 of the CEQA Guidelines. Therefore, no further CEQA review is required.

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
The abatement program will be administered by Fire Department staff with minimum costs expended for printing and mailing. Abatement work will be completed by City maintenance staff or private contract labor as appropriate. Program costs will be recovered through the special assessment and lien process.

LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS
The City Attorney has reviewed and approved the process.

Dear El Cerrito Property Owner:

With the State’s winter rain, the community is facing unprecedented vegetation growth as we head into peak fire danger season. To reduce the fire danger on private property and provide greater community safety, the Fire Department has been inspecting properties and checking for fire hazards. Recently your property listed above was found that it does not comply with the Vegetation Management Guidelines set forth in the City of El Cerrito Vegetation Management Standards. You are being notified now so that you may, if you have not already done so, take steps to remove those fire hazard conditions found on your property.

Enclosed is a copy of the Fire Hazard Reduction Inspection form specifying those areas that are not in compliance as well as the Fire Hazard Reduction Guidelines and Fire Hazard Reductions Checklist that can assist you in bringing your property into compliance. More information on the Vegetation Management Standards and Guidelines may be found on the City’s website at: www.el-cerrito.org under Vegetation Management Standards. Additional information is also available at www.readyforwildfire.org or www.cafiresafecouncil.org as well as many others.

If you have recently completed the work to meet these standards, no further action is required. If not, your property is required to be brought into compliance no later than August 6, 2024. There is no need to contact the Fire Department upon completion as we will be re-inspecting all properties. When the Fire Department has cleared your property, you will be removed from our non-compliant list.

On August 20, 2024 at 6:00PM the El Cerrito City Council will hold a public hearing to declare those properties still not in compliance as a public nuisance. Your property is at risk of being declared a public nuisance and subject to further abatement actions. In accordance with the Government Code, you may appear before the Board at this public hearing to dispute this declaration.

If you have not done so already, please take immediate action to remove those fire hazard conditions and we thank you for your cooperation helping us make El Cerrito a more fire safe community.

Sincerely,
Chase Beckman

A previous notice was sent to you informing you of the August 20, 2024 hearing and further informing you of your obligation to remove the weeds, rubbish, refuse and other flammable material from your property. If you do not immediately abate these nuisance conditions, the City will do so and the costs for removal of the weeds, rubbish, refuse and other flammable material will be assessed against your property as a lien and special assessment. These removal costs shall then be collected in the time and in the manner of ordinary municipal taxes.

You will not receive any further notices from the City prior to this removal.

It is impossible to predict what it will cost the City to remove these nuisance conditions from your property. The costs depend on the severity of those conditions.

El Cerrito Finance Chronology, 2019-2024
2019. Senior management claims they had proven the
independent auditor wrong. The going concern is going.

Not spending money they did not have. Conservative
approach. But the next audit showed significant
overspending.

April 13, 2021 (FAB). Senior management claims the
state auditors lack adequate experience. Express
expectation of being off the high-risk list in a year.

December 19, 2023. Lisa Motoyama gives her state of
the city address. Uses 17% reserves as the goal.

Displays a graph showing the end of decade reserve
goal is a little under $10 million and the actual reserves are projected to INCREASE to over $20 million.

January 2024. Workshop for council members given by a
consultant who was paid $12,500. The reserve goal is
now just 10% of general fund expenditures.

Supplemental Materials Page 4 of 14 Supplemental Materials Page 4 of 14 Agenda Packet Page 96 of 106
March 5, 2024. Budget adjustment. Reserve goal is just
10% of GF expenditures, which is a bit over $5 million. A graph is displayed that shows unrestricted GF reserves
at the end of the decade DECREASING to LESS than $5
million. So, in less than three months, the end of decade projection was reduced by about 75%.

June 18, 2024 budget. All fund budget shows for FY
2024 a deficit of over $12 million with more deficits on the way. Shows a GF deficit of over $6 million. Shows an end of decade GF reserve goal of OVER $5 million and
the city failing to achieve that minimal goal. Repeats
graph of the March meeting. The FY 2025 and FY 2026
are projected to have very small GF reserve surpluses
and ignored the FAB recommendation of $1 million
surplus. In the past, the state auditor warned against
small surpluses. This type of small surplus has been a
tradition of the city. Several city officials state the city has met or exceeded state auditor objectives.

Summary
Reserve objective reduced from 17% to 10%
Current projections for end of decade is city will not meet the 10% objective. Median for cities in California was
over 60% a few years ago.

Supplemental Materials Page 5 of 14 Supplemental Materials Page 5 of 14 Agenda Packet Page 97 of 106
Projected unrestricted reserves for end of decade
decreased from over $20 million to less than $5 million.

FY 2024 GF has a deficit of over $6 million
Some construction will be reduced
Recently, the city’s CalPERS UAL pension liability
increased from $57.8 million to $85 million.

S&P raised the city’s credit rating from BBB- to BBB.

In 2013, the rating was lowered from AA- to A+.

In 2018, the rating was lowered from A+ to A-.

In 2019 the rating was lowered from A- to BBB.

In 2020 the rating was lowered from BBB to BBB-.

In 2023, the rating was upgraded from BBB- to BBB.

Date: Sunday, August 18, 2024 6:00:09 PM
Caution! This message was sent from outside your organization.

Five years ago, at the infamous second “going concern”
audit meeting where we were told management had
proven the independent auditor wrong, the item was
placed on the consent calendar.

Now with El Cerrito’s unrestricted general fund reserve hovering around ZERO and possibly being negative, the
cash and investment report is on the consent calendar.

I request that the item be pulled off the consent calendar.

I ask that the city reveal how much money is in each
fund – unrestricted general fund, total general fund, and all other funds. The information should be available for every month of 2024. I also request that the finance
department give a clear explanation of each type of fund and the goals for each one.

My open records request was rejected by the city.

The following records are exempt from disclosure:

1. Records that contain information that is exempt
under California Government Code Section 7922, as “the
public interest served by not disclosing the record clearly outweighs the public interest by disclosure of the record.” With regard to your request for
“How much money there is in every account for any fund
as of July 31, 2024 (after the UAL payment). Primarily, I want to know how much is in the unrestricted general
fund for every month in calendar year 2024.”
Please note that there are no records responsive to this request. If the City were to pull balances on a single day, it would not accurately reflect the true unrestricted
Supplemental Materials Page 8 of 14 Supplemental Materials Page 8 of 14 Agenda Packet Page 100 of 106
general fund balance. This amount is determined
through continuous accounting of current information to provide a snapshot in time for the amount of unrestricted funds the city has. This information is provided through quarterly general fund budget updates to City Council,
available on the city’s website. The next quarterly update is expected to go to City Council on September 20, 2024.

Further, the City operates under a Pooled Cash system
for investment purposes, the majority of funds are held in LAIF and not distinguished in the LAIF account.

I am responsible for the determinations concerning your records request. This email concludes responsive
information on this submission and closes out this
