04/08/2025 Item No.8.
FPOA Memorandum of Understanding
1l1l225to 1213112425
1. Beginning January 1, 2011, the City's maximum monthly contribution for active employee health insurance coverage shall be adjusted annually to an amount equal to 50% of the increase above the 2010 Kaiser monthly premium rate for employee only category ($507.89), employee plus 1 category ($1,015.78), and employee plus 2 or more category ($1,320.52), rounded to the next whole number.
Example:
Employee only category: The 2010 monthly premium for Kaiser employee only is $507.89 and the City's maximum monthly contribution is $486.00. lf this premium increases by 10o/o for 2011, or to $558.68, the City's contribution for 2011 for the employee only category would be computed as follows: $558.68 - $507.89 = $50.79, $50.79 x 50o/o = $25.40, $486.00 + $25.40 = $511.40. After rounding to the next whole number, the City's maximum contribution for health insurance for the employee only category would be $511 per month.
Employee plus 1 category: The 2010 monthly premium for Kaiser employee plus 1 is $1,015.78 and the City's maximum monthly contribution is $972.00. lf this premium increases by 1Oo/o for 2011, or to $1,117.36, the City's contributio n lor 2011 for the employee plus 1 category would be computed as follows: $1 ,1 1 7 .36 - $1 ,01 5]8 = $101 .58, $101 .58 x 50% = $50.79, $972.00 + $50.79 = $1,022.79. After rounding to the next whole number, the City's maximum contribution for health insurance forthe employee plus 1 category would be $1,023 per month.
Employee plus 2 or more category: The 2010 monthly premium for Kaiser employee plus 2 or more is $1,320.52 and the City's maximum monthly contribution is $1,263.00. lf this premium increases by 10o/o for 2011, or to $1,452.57, the City's contribution for 2011 for the employee plus 2 or more category would be computed as follows: $1,452.57 - $1 ,320.52 = $132.05, $132.05 x 50% = $66.03, $1 ,263 + $66.03 = $1 ,329.03. After rounding to the next whole number, the City's maximum contribution for health insurance for the employee plus 2 or more category would be $1,329 per month.
Employees who select a health plan with higher monthly premiums than the maximum monthly premium paid by the City (Section A, item 1 above) shall pay the difference through payroll deduction. Should employees select a health plan with lower monthly premiums than the maximum monthly premium paid the City, the City's contribution shall be limited to the cost of the monthly premium.

An appeal of a disciplinary action is a complaint of a permanent employee of whether there was cause for the disciplinary action taken against the employee.
The parties to the discipline hearing and to the selection of the arbitrator shall be the employee, who may be represented by FPOA, self-represented, or independent counsel, and the City who may be represented by the Human Resources Department or counsel.
The employee shall be entitled to appear personally at the hearing and produce evidence.

c
d
When it becomes necessary due to lack of work, lack of funds, or in the interest of economy, to reduce the number of employees in the Police Department bargaining unit, the order in which employees will be laid off within each class affected by the layoff shall be based on seniority as provided in Section C.
1. Area of Layoff:
The City shall determine the area(s) and positions in which layoffs may occur, including the identification of the division, work unit, class, and specific position. When a list of the affected areas and/or positions has been prepared, the City will give notice to FPOA prior to implementation of the layoff, and upon request, shall meet with FPOA in good faith regarding the impact of the layoff (consistent with Section H). Unless agreed othenruise, the following layoff procedure shall be followed:
Employees holding temporary, seasonal, part-time, probationary, or provisionalappointments in the class shallbe laid off first. Employees serving in a regular part-time position shall be laid off a.
04/08/2025 Item No.8.
FPOA Memorandum of Understanding
1l11225to 1213112425
b Should it become necessary to lay off permanent employees, the employees laid off shall be those with the least service credit within the identified classifications in the department. lf two (2) or more employees in this circumstance possess essentiallythe same amount of service credit, the Police department shall determine which person shall be laid off.
2. Seniority Defined:
Seniority shall be defined by the date of the most recent appointment to the classification. Time served as a probationary employee in the class shall be included in determining seniority.
3. Notification:
Employees to be laid off shall be given final written notification by the City of such action. Whenever possible, such notification shall be given a minimum of thirty (30) calendar days prior to the effective date of the layoff. At its discretion, the City may also issue preliminary written layoff notices.
4. Right to Demote
Any employee who is scheduled for layoff shall have a right to demote to a class in which the employee formerly held permanent status. Any employee scheduled for layoff in a class outside the bargaining unit shall bump into a class in the bargaining unit if they formerly held permanent status in that class. lf there is no authorized position in the class to which the employee would othenruise have a right to demote, then the employee shall be laid off from employment.
The right to demote shall be implemented as follows:
a. lf there is only one other lower salaried class in which the employee formerly held permanent status, the employee shall be demoted to that class. lf there is no vacancy in that class and the demoting employee has less seniority than all other employees in that class, the demoting employee shall be laid off from that class and from employment.
lf there are two or more lower salaried classes in which the employee formerly held permanent status, the employee shall be demoted to that class in which the employee formerly held permanent status which has the highest salary. lf there is no vacancy in that class, and the demoting employee has less seniority than all other employees in

that class, the above process shall continue until the demoting employee either reaches a class in which the employee formerly held permanent status in which there is a vacancy or in which the employee is not the least senior employee in that class, or the employee is laid off from employment.
Ai employee who is least senior in a class in which there is no vacancy and to which an employee demotes from a higher class shall be laid off from that class, and shall have the same right to demote as does any other employee who is laid off.
An employee demoted underthis procedure shall be deemed to have exercised the employee's right to demote and to have accepted each demotion, subject to the employee's right to resign from employment.
An employee who is demoted from a class in which the employee holds permanent status shall be deemed for all purposes to have been laid off from each class from which the employee subsequently demotes or is displaced, including classes which the employee passes through because of the absence of a vacancy and insufficient seniority to occupy a position.
Reemployment:
The names of employees laid off in accordance with provisions of this section shall be placed on a reemployment list. Names shall be placed on a reemployment list by classification in order of seniority. A reemployment list will be used to fill vacancies in the classification before any other eligible list that exists for that classification. ln the event that a person on layoff declines reemployment to a vacant position in the classification from which the employee was laid off, or cannot be contacted through telephone and certified mail within fifteen (15) working days, such person's name shall be removed from the reemployment list.
A reemployment list will remain in effect for two (2) years unless specifically extended, or sooner if exhausted. Upon reinstatement an employee will be eligible for all benefits acquired by the employee prior to the layoff, including prior Annual Leave accrual rates, health benefits provided in the current FPOA Memorandum of Understanding, retirement tier (as permitted by PERS law) and seniority. An employee shall not receive credit for time spent on layoff in computing time for any benefit entitlement.
Rehire shall be subject to successful completion of pertinent psychological, medical, polygraph, and background investigations.

Folsom City Council
Staff Re rt
RECOMMENDATION / COTINCIL ACTION
A public hearing was held on March 25,2025, and all ballots submitted before the close of the public hearing were tabulated.
The results of the ballot tabulation indicate that the assessment ballots submitted in opposition to the proposed assessment exceed the assessment ballots submitted in favor of the proposed assessment, and therefore a majority protest exists in the ballot proceeding.
Staff recommends the City Council adopt Resolution No. 1 l34I- A Resolution of the City Council Declaring Results of the Natoma Station Maintenance Assessment District No. 2025-1 Ballot Proceeding, And Abandoning District Formation Proceedings.
BACKGROUND / ISSUE
On January 14,2025, the City Council approved Resolution No. I I32I - A Resolution Initiating Proceedings for the Formation of a Landscaping and Lighting Assessment District to be known as the Natoma Station Maintenance Assessment District No. 2025-1.
On January 28,2025, the City Council approved Resolution No. 11323 - A Resolution Approving the Preliminary Engineers Report, Declaring the Intention to Order the Formation of the Natoma Station Maintenance Assessment District No. 2025-1, to Ler,y and Collect Assessments, to Provide Notice of Public Hearing and Direct the Mailing of Assessment Ballots Within the Proposed District in the City of Folsom.
1 ME,ETING DATE: 4181202s
AGENDA SECTION: Old Business
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 11341- A Resolution of the City Council Declaring Results of the Natoma Station Maintenance Assessment District No. 2025-1 Ballot Proceeding, And Abandoning District Formation Proceedings
FROM: Parks and Recreation Department
04/08/2025 Item No.9.
Pursuant to Government Code Section 53753, ballots were mailed to all current property owners within the proposed district. Along with the ballot, the property owners received a postcard describing the purpose of the new district. For Fiscal Year 2025-26 the proposed Natoma Station Maintenance Assessment DistrictNo. 2025-1 annual assessment will be $78.32per Special Benefit Point as described in the Final Engineers Report as well as an escalator not to exceed 3% that would allow yearly adjustments if needed in the future. There are a total of 5,535.36 benefit points in the district. The assessment range is based on the benefit received by each parcel and the range of rates for a single-family home is between $185.47 and $360.15 with ar average single-family home rate of $258.45 annually.
Under the provisions of Proposition 218, a public hearing must be held on the levy of new assessments at least 45 days after notice of the proposed assessment was mailed to record owners of each parcel in the new district. The public hearing was set in Resolution No. II323 on January 28,2025, and the notice of public hearing was mailed to record owners on February 6,2025, and published in the Folsom Telegraph on March 14,2025. The public hearing was set for March 25, 2025, at 6:30 p.m. in the City Council Chambers, 50 Natoma Street, Folsom, California 95630.
The public hearing was held on March 25,2025, and all ballots submitted before the close of the public hearing were tabulated. The results of the ballot tabulation indicate that the assessment ballots submitted in opposition to the proposed assessment exceed the assessment ballots submitted in favor of the proposed assessment, and therefore a majority protest exists in the ballot proceeding
POLICY / RULE
The Natoma Station Maintenance Assessment District No. 2025-1 shall not be imposed due to existence of a majority protest under Government Code Section 53753(e).
The Natoma Station Maintenance Assessment District No. 2025-1 shall be abandoned pursuant to Streets and Highways Code Section 22593.
ANALYSIS
The original Natoma Station Landscaping and Lighting District ("District") was formed by Resolution No. 3024 on June 18, 1990, to maintain improvements within the district. These improvements include landscaping and associated improvements along Iron Point, Blue Ravine, Turnpike, Black Diamond, and Natoma Station, as well as the subdivision's streetlights, landscape lighting, irrigation systems, open space, monument entry signage, soundwalls, mini parks, and art.
This district was formed prior to Proposition 218 and therefore does not have an escalator built into the annual rate.
Historicallv Exnenses Have Exceeded Revenues
The existing revenue from the collected assessments has been unable to fund the expected day-to- day unscheduled costs such as irrigation repairs and plantltree replacements, as well as not being able to set aside funds for life-cycle costs in the district. As a result, when the current fiscal year 2
04/08/2025 Item No.9.
closes on June 30,2025 the District is projected to have a negative fund balance of $620,194.
Expenses have exceeded revenues for several years which highlighted the need for the additional assessment.
Without a new assessment, the level of service must be substantially reduced to complete necessary work at the current assessment rate.
Revenues vs. Expenditures:
(701,407) (72,486) (1M,626) (45,495) (74,032)
)
As a majority protests exists, the City Council shall adopt Resolution No. I 1341- A Resolution of the City Council Declaring Results of the Natoma Station Maintenance Assessment District No. 2025-I Ballot Proceeding, And Abandoning District Formation Proceedings. The Natoma Station Maintenance Assessment District No. 2025-1 shall not be imposed due to existence of a majority protest under Government Code Section 53753(e). This will abandon the formation proceedings for the Natoma Station Maintenance Assessment District No. 2025-l pursuant to Streets and Highways Code Secti on 22593 .
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The District will not be formed, therefore there will be no fiscal impact on the City of Folsom General Fund.

BACKGROUND / ISSUE
The Sacramento-Placerville Transportation Corridor Joint Powers Authority (SPTC-JPA) was established by its Member Agencies (County of Sacramento, Regional Transit, County of El Dorado, and City of Folsom) in 1991 to oversee the acquisition and preservation of the Placerville Branch of the Southern Pacific Railroad. In 1996, the SPTC-JPA completed the acquisition of 53 miles ofrailroad right-of-way extending from Sacramento to Placerville (milepost 94.3 to milepost 147 .4). The corridor passes through the cities of Sacramento, Rancho Cordova and Folsom, and the counties of Sacramento and El Dorado. The City of Folsom segment extends from Highway 50 at Folsom Boulevard, through the City of Folsom, to White Rock Road at Old Placerville Road (milepost 108.83 to milepost 118.0).
In 1996, the SPTC-JPA member agencies executed a Reciprocal Use and Funding Agreement (RUFA) which sets forth the rights and responsibilities of each agency with respect to the acquisition, ownership, use, operation, improvement, maintenance, and eventual disposition of the rail corridor. In accordance with the RUFA, the SPTC-JPA holds the title to the rail corridor and each member agency has been granted an easement to use their allocated portion of the corridor.
The RUFA also gives the member agencies reciprocal rights to use the rail corridor for its entire length. The RUFA has been amended five times from 1996 to date for various purposes including modifring property rights within the rail corridor between member agencies.
In addition to the original Member Agencies noted above, the SPTC-JPA Board includes an at- large member that has historically been held by the City of Rancho Cordova. The SPTC JPA and the City of Rancho Cordova have agreed to add Rancho Cordova as a member agency.
Accordingly, the SPTC-JPA Counsel has amended both the Joint Powers Authority Agreement and Continuing Agreement to Advance Funds to clean up outdated language from over the years and to add Rancho Cordova as a member agency. On February 3, 2025, the SPTC-JPA Board adopted resolutions to amend the JPA Agreement and Continuing Agreement to Advance Funds and send them to the member agencies for approval.
POLICY / RULE
Per the Folsom Municipal Code, the City Council is the sole authority to ratifr agreements on behalf of the City of Folsom.
ANALYSIS
i. The Amended and Restated Joint Powers Agreement
Red-lined and clean copies of the Amended and Restated Joint Powers Agreement are included as Attachments 3 and 4. Changes in the agreement are summarized as follows:
Section 1 (Authority and Purpose): Since the original JPA Agreement was focused on the acquisition of the Placerville Branch railroad right-of-way from Southern Pacific Railroad Company, the statement concerning the JPA's pu{pose in this section has been modified to read as follows:
2 a
04/08/2025 Item No.10.
"The purpose of this Agreement is to provide for the ownership and coordination of puUtiC uses of the Placerville Branch, and to provide for such reciprocal use agreements and multijurisdictional use agreements as may be desired by the member agencies."
a Section 5 (Duties): This section has been modified to reflect the fact that certain duties of the JPA have been satisfied already by entering into the 1996 Reciprocal Use and Funding Agreement (RUFA) and the 2000 Continuing Funding Agreement. o Section 6. A (Governing Board -- Membership): The JPA used to have a nonvoting director on its Board. That is no longer true, so references to nonvoting directors have been removed throughout the Agreement.
Section 6.D(5) (Contributions): This Section has been modified to reflect the fact thata a
a
a
member agency contributions to the JPA's budget are now governed by the Continuing Agreement to Advance Funds among the JPA and its member agencies. tion of This Section has been modified to reflect
the fact that the ultimate disposition of the real property comprising the Placerville Branch is now governed by the RUFA.
Section 9 (Indemnification): This section has been modified to include a reference to the indemnification provisions of the Easement Agreements between the JPA and the member agencies having allocated portions of the railroad right-of-way.
Section 10 (Withdrawal): This section has been modified to clariff that withdrawal from the JPA does not constitute withdrawal from the RUFA, for those member agencies that are subject thereto. Also, the former Section 10. B (Use of Reports) was intended to cover the scenario of a member agency withdrawing prior to the acquisition of the Placerville Branch and, therefore, is no longer needed.
ii. The Amended and Restated Continuing Agreement to Advance Funds Red-lined and clean copies of the Amended and Restated Continuing Agreement to Advance Funds are included as Attachments 5 and 6. Changes consist of adding Rancho Cordova as a Member Agency and increasing the maximum contribution limit to $35,000.
If the City or any other member agency chooses to not execute the amended agreements, then the previous agreements would remain in place and the City of Rancho Cordova would not become a member agency and would not begin making financial contributions to the JPA in the upcoming fiscal year 2025126.
J Page 95
04/08/2025 Item No.10.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The Amended and Restated Continuing Agreement to Advance Funds identifies an increased maximum contribution limit by each member agency of up to $35,000 annually, with a 2Yo escalator each year. The previous agreement had included maximum contribution limits of $30,000 annually, though the City has contributed $27,500 each year since 2014 without an increase. The proposed SPTC-JPA Operating Budget for fiscal year 202512026 does include an increase in member agency contributionsto $29,200 per agency. The yearly contribution paid by the City of Folsom is included in the annual adopted operating budget for the Public Works Department (Fund 023) and sufficient funds for the FY 2025126 payment will be included in the proposed FY 2025126 budget in the Public Works Department.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This action to execute the amended agreements with the SPTC-JPA does not call for the implementation of specific projects and only outlines the roles and responsibilities of the various parties and is therefore not subject to CEQA.

Folsom City Council
Staff rt
MEETING DATE: 4181202s
AGENDA SECTION: New Business
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 11355 - A Resolution Authorizingthe City Manager to Enter into a Contract with Bob Murray & Associates for Executive Recruitment Services for the Public Works Director FROM: Human Resources Department
RECOMMENDATION
The Human Resources Director recommends that the City Council pass and adopt Resolution No. 11355 - A Resolution Authorizingthe City Manager to Enter into a Contract with Bob Munay & Associates for Executive Recruitment Services for the Public Works Director.
BACKGROUND
In December 2024, Public Works Director Mark Rackovan announced his retirement from the City of Folsom. His last day will be May 30,2025. At the direction of City Manager Bryan Whitemyer, it was recommended that the City Council receive a presentation from the Human Resources Director to enter into a contract with an executive search firm for the Public Works Director recruitment.
To attract and retain top-tier senior leadership, the City of Folsom recognizes the value of partnering with an executive search firm. These firms bring specialized expertise, strategic recruitment methods, and a broad talent network to identifu candidates who not only meet professional qualifications but also align with the City's vision and values.
Executive hiring demands a level of industry knowledge, outreach, and discretion that goes beyond the resources of the Crty's HR department. Furthermore, the HR team is unable to handle this executiveJevel recruitment due to their existing workload, which includes negotiations with multiple bargaining groups, conducting workplace investigations, and managing rank-and-file recruitments. These responsibilities require significant time, leaving limited capacity to execute a thorough and strategic executive search. Given the critical nature of executive hiring, which demands specialized sourcing, extensive screening, and stakeholder alignment, it would be more effective to engage external resources to ensure a successful outcome. Investing in an executive search firm is a proactive step toward maintaining strong, effective leadership for the City's future. 1
04/08/2025 Item No.11.
POLICY / RULE
In accordance with Section 2.36.080 of the Folsom Municipal Code, the contract award limit for the City Manager as of January I,2025, is $75,049. The cost of engaging an executive search firm is within the scope of the City Manager's signature authority.
ANALYSIS
Human Resources consulted multiple executive search firms to assess their processes, capabilities, and costs. City staff received the following proposals from Executive Search Firms for consideration:
o Bob Murray & Associates o MGT
o Gomez Partners, Inc. o Sunshine Enterprises
o Koff & Associates o WBCP
After evaluating the proposals based on experience, services provided, project approach, pricing, and overall fit, Bob Murray & Associates emerged as the best choice for Folsom's executive recruitment needs. While pricing was not the sole factor in the decision-making process, Bob Murray & Associates presented one of the more competitively priced proposals at $25,000, compared to other quotes ranging from $30,000 to $45,000.
After partnering with Bob Murray & Associates, the City will collaborate closely with them to design a comprehensive and inclusive selection process. This will include forming both community and professional interview panels, ensuring diverse perspectives in evaluating candidates. The City may seek input from the Council and community members, fostering transparency and engagement in selecting the best leader for this important role. We believe this process will not only identi$'the most qualified candidate but also strengthen public trust and confidence in the decision-making process.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The total cost for Bob Murray & Associates' services is not to exceed $25,000, covering all recruitment-related expenses, including :
o Development and distribution of recruitment materials & advertising . Candidate screening and interviews
o Background checks and reference verification
o Consultant travel tbr in-person meetings
Sufficient funding for this contract is budgeted and available in the FY 2024-25 General Fund (Fund 01 0) Non-departmental budget.
