Lejins v. City of Long Beach
Essentially, the City Council will be asked if they are willing to sign a letter of support that will go to the California Supreme Court on behalf of the City of Long Beach and League of California Cities. This subsequent item requires a 4/5 vote to take immediate action and add this to the Closed Session meeting.

Development Agreement
by and between the
City of Fontana and Developer
Relative to
Citrus Crossroads.
THIS DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT is made and entered into this _____ day of __________, 2021, by and between the CITY OF FONTANA a California municipal corporation (“City”), and Sage Citr us Fontana, LLC, a California limited liability company (“Developer”), pursuant to the authority of Article 2.5, Chapter 4, Division 1, Title 7 (Section 65864, et seq. of the California Government Code) (“Development Agreement Law”) relating to Development Agreements.
R E C I T A L S
In order to strengthen the public land use planning process, to encourage private participation in the process, to reduce the economic risk of development and to reduce the waste of resources, the Legislature adopted the Development Agreement Law (Section 65864, et seq. of the Government Code).
The Development Agreement Law permits cities and counties to contract with private interests for their mutual benefit in a manner not otherwise available to the contracting parties.
Such agreements, as authorized by the Development Agreement Law, can assure property developers they may proceed with projects assured that approvals granted by public agencies will not change during the period of development of their projects. Cities and coun ties are equally assured that costly infrastructure such as roads, sewers, schools, fire protection facilities, etc. will be available at the time development projects come online.
This Development Agreement relates to a Zoning and Development Code Amendme nt, Conditional Use Permits, and Tentative Parcel Map for the Citrus Crossroads commercial retail center, filed on March 24, 2021. The parties have, in good faith, negotiated the terms hereinafter set forth which carry out the legislative purpose set forth above and will assure the parties to this Agreement of mutually desirable development of the Subject Property.
The means of attaining the aforementioned objectives and the public benefit to be received as a result of development of the Project (defined below) through this Agreement shall provide for the following:
Project includes construction and operation of the Citrus Crossroads commercial retail center, a new local -serving shopping center consisting of an anchor building and various outlying building pads.
66 16498.40137\34469367.2

Developer owns in fee, that certain real property located in the City of Fontana located at the northwest corner of Citrus Avenue and S Highland Avenue intersection (north side of South Highland Avenue, south of SR -210, west of Citrus Avenue, and east of Oleander Avenue), tax assessor parcel numbers 0240-011-03, -05, -06, -35, -38, -41, -42, and -44 (the “Subject Property”), and desires to create thereon the Citrus Crossroads commercial retail center, consisting of an anchor building and various outlying building pads (the “Project”).
City, in response to Developer’s applications, after public hearings and extensive environmental analysis, has granted the following entitlements:
By Ordinance No. _____, effective __________, amended the Fontana Zoning and Development Code for the Subject Property —specifically, figure and text amendments. The figure amendment is needed to change the planning area designation of the project site from Planning Area 1 to Planning Area 3 to allow for the mix of commercial retail uses associated with the Project.
Specifically, this requires an amendment to Figure 1 (Fontana Auto Center Overlay District Planning Area Boundaries Map) of the Fontana Zoning and Development Code. Figure 1 would be amended to extend the boundary of Planning Area 3 to encompass the project site. Zoning text Amendments are also required to implement the Project, including amendments to the building and parking setback requirements and the pylon sign provisions.
By Resolution No. _____, effective __________, approved a Conditional Use Permit for the following use/activity: an ABC establishment, as the anchor tenant would be selling alcoholic beverages for offsite consumption.
By Re solution No. _____, effective __________, approved a Conditional Use Permit for the following use/activity: two drive -through fast food restaurants.
By Resolution No. _____, effective __________, approved a Tentative Parcel Map (TPM No. 20370) to consolidate the eight parcels that make up the Subject Property (Assessor Parcel Numbers 0240 -011-03, -05, -06, -35, -38, -41, - 42, and -44) into three legal parcels to ensure common ownership and maintenance of all Project components.
By Ordinance No. _____, effective ____________, authorized the City to enter into this Development Agreement with Developer.
In support of the various entitlements described in paragraph 5 above, and in accord with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and State and City CEQA guidelines, City has certified as adequate and complete a final Mitigated Negative Declaration for the Zoning and Development Code Amendment, Conditional Use Permits, and Tentative Parcel Map and this Development Agreement.

On _________, 2021, the City Planning Commission, designated by City as the Planning Agency for purposes of Development Agreement review pursuant to Government Code Section 65867, considered this Agreement and recommended its approval to the City Council.

Approve the Purchase and Installation of Software and Hardware for the Sanitary Sewer SCADA System
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Authorize the Public Works Department to standardize the Sanitary Sewer SCADA System components within the sanitary sewer sump stations.
2. Authorize the Purchasing Office to procure from Xylem the components, software, hardware, cloud-base subscriptions, renewals, upgrades, and any additional parts necessary to maintain the sewer pump stations as required to meet the demands of the community.
COUNCIL GOALS:
· To operate in a businesslike manner by improving services through the effective use of technology.
· To invest in the city's infrastructure (streets, sewers, parks, etc.) by maintaining and improving the city's existing infrastructure.
· To invest in the city's infrastructure (streets, sewers, parks, etc.) by providing for the development of new infrastructure.
DISCUSSION:
The City is currently using Mission Monitoring to receive alerts of pump station failures or system failures. The City has upgraded several pump stations with Flygt® pumps and Xylem components to better serve the community. The City has two more pump stations due for reconstruction that will have the Flygt® equipment. Mission Monitoring no longer meets the needs of the organization as it lacks the functionality, systems integrations, and desired automation needed to effectively operate compatible with the new systems.
In efforts to standardize, the City is electing to move forward with Xylem system. The system will be used to facilitate all daily aspects of managing the sewer pumps at the pump stations, remotely, or in a centralize Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) center. Some of the key functionalities include:
· Monitors the pumps station to appropriately react before or during sewer pump breakdowns. · Automated some the pump station reports
· Web-based system allowing for remote management from any location/device with internet City of Fontana Printed on 2/2/2022Page 1 of 2

ATTACHMENT A
PREVAILING WAGE REQUIREMENTS
A. All or a portion of the Scope of Work in the Contract requires the payment of prevailing wages and compliance with the following requirements:
1. Determination of Prevailing Rates:
Pursuant to Labor Code sections 1770, et seq., the County has obtained from the Director of the Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) pursuant to the California Labor Code, the general prevailing rates of per diem wages and the prevailing rates for holiday and overtime work in the locality in which the Scope of Work is to be performed. Copies of said rates are on file with the County, will be made available for inspection during regular business hours, may be included elsewhere in the specifications for the Scope of Work, and are also available online at www.dir.ca.gov. The wage rate for any classification not listed, but which may be required to execute the Scope of Work, shall be commensurate and in accord with sp ecified rates for similar or comparable classifications for those performing similar or comparable duties. In accordance with Labor Code section 1773.2, the Contractor shall post, at appropriate and conspicuous locations on the job site, a schedule showing all applicable prevailing wage rates and shall comply with the requirements of Labor Code sections 1773, et seq.
2. Payment of Prevailing Rates
Each worker of the Contractor, or any subcontractor, engaged in the Scope of Work, shall be paid not less than the general prevailing wage rate, regardless of any contractual relationship which may be alleged to exist between the Contractor or any subcontractor, and such worker.
3. Prevailing Rate Penalty
The Contractor shall, as a penalty, forfeit two hundred dollars ($200.00) to the County for each calendar day or portion thereof, for each worker paid less than the prevailing rates as determined by the Director of the DIR for such work or craft in which such worker is employed by the Contractor or by any subcontractor in connection with the Scope of Work. Pursuant to California Labor Code section 1775, the difference between such prevailing wage rates and the amount paid to each worker for each calendar day, or portion thereof, for which each worker was paid less than the prevailing wage rate, shall be paid to each worker by the Contractor.
4. Ineligible Contractors:
Pursuant to the provisions of Labor Code section 1777.1, the Labor Commissioner publishes and distributes a list of contractors ineligible to perform work as a contractor or subcontractor on a public works project. This list of debarred contractors is available from the DIR website at http://www.dir.ca.gov/Public-Works/PublicWorks.html.
Any contract entered into between a contractor and a debarred subcontractor is void as a matter of law. A debarred subcontractor may not receive any public money for performing work as a subcontractor on a public works contract, and any public money that may have been paid to a debarred subcontractor by a contractor on the project shall be returned to the County. The Contractor shall be responsible for the payment of wages to workers as a debarred subcontractor who has been allowed to work on the Scope of Wo rk.
5. Payroll Records:
a. Pursuant to California Labor Code section 1776, the Contractor and each subcontractor, shall keep accurate certified payroll records, showing the name, address, social security number, work classification, straight time and overtime hours worked each day and week, and the actual per diem wages paid to each journeyman, apprentice, worker or other employee employed by them in connection with the Scope of Work.
The payroll records enumerated herein shall be verified by a written declarat ion made under penalty of perjury that the information contained in the payroll record is true and correct and that the Contractor or subcontractor has complied with the requirements of the California Labor Code sections 1771, 1811, and 1815 for any Scope of Work performed by his or her employees. The payroll records shall be available for inspection at all reasonable hours at the principal office of the Contractor on the following basis:
i. A certified copy of an employee's payroll record shall be made available for inspection or furnished to such employee or his/her authorized representative on request; ii. A certified copy of all payroll records shall be made available for inspection or furnished upon request to the County, the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement of the DIR; iii. A certified copy of payroll records shall be made available upon request to the public for inspection or copies thereof made; provided, however, that a request by the public shall be made through either the County or the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement. If the requested payroll records have not been previously provided to the County or the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement, the requesting party shall, prior to being provided the records, reimburse the cost of preparation by the Contractor, subcontractor and the entity through which the request was made; the public shall not be given access to such records at the principal office of the Contractor; 159
Revised 06/16/2021 Page 19 of 25
iv. The Contractor shall file a certified copy of the payroll records with the ent ity that requested such records within ten (10) days after receipt of a written request; and v. Copies provided to the public, by the County or the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement shall be marked or obliterated in such a manner as to prevent disclosure of an individual's name, address and social security number. The name and address of the Contractor or any subcontractor, performing a part of the Scope of Work shall not be marked or obliterated. The Contractor shall inform the County of the location of payroll records, including the street address, city and county and shall, within five (5) working days, provide a notice of a change of location and address. b. The Contractor shall have ten (10) days from receipt of the written notice specifying in what r espects the Contractor must comply with the above requirements. In the event Contractor does not comply with the requirements of this section within the ten (10) day period, the Contractor shall, as a penalty to the County, forfeit one-hundred dollars ($100.00) for each calendar day, or portion thereof, for each worker, until strict compliance is effectuated. Upon the request of the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement, such penalty shall be withheld from any portion of the payments then due or to become due to the Contractor.
6. Limits on Hours of Work:
Pursuant to California Labor Code section 1810, eight (8) hours of labor shall constitute a legal day's work.
Pursuant to California Labor Code section 1811, the time of service of any worker employed at any time by the Contractor or by a subcontractor, upon the Scope of Work or upon any part of the Scope of Work, is limited and restricted to eight (8) hours during any one calendar day and forty (40) hours during any one calendar week, except as provided f or under Labor Code section 1815. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, work performed by employees of Contractor or any subcontractor, in excess of eight (8) hours per day and forty (40) hours during any one week, shall be permitted upon compensation for all hours worked in excess of eight (8) hours per day at not less than one and one-half (1½) times the basic rate of pay.
7. Penalty for Excess Hours:
The Contractor shall pay to the County a penalty of twenty -five dollars ($25.00) for each worker employ ed on the Scope of Work by the Contractor or any subcontractor, for each calendar day during which such worker is required or permitted to work more than eight (8) hours in any calendar day and forty (40) hours in any one calendar week, in violation of the provisions of the California Labor Code, unless compensation to the worker so employed by the Contractor is not less than one and one -half (1½) times the basic rate of pay for all hours worked in excess of eight (8) hours per day.

Included in these requirements is (1) the Contractor’s requirement to provide notification (i.e. DAS-140) to the appropriate apprenticeship committees; (2) pay training fund contributions for each apprenticeable hour employed on the Contract; and (3) utilize apprentices in a minimum ratio of not less than one apprentice hour for each five journeyman hours by completion of Contract work (unless an exception is granted in accorda nce with Labor Code section 1777.5) or request for the dispatch of apprentices.
b. Any apprentices employed to perform any of the Scope of Work shall be paid the standard wage to apprentices under the regulations of the craft or trade for which such apprentic e is employed, and such individual shall be employed only for the work of the craft or trade to which such individual is registered.
Only apprentices, as defined in California Labor Code section 3077, who are in training under apprenticeship standards and written apprenticeship agreements under California Labor Code sections 3070 et seq. are eligible to be employed for the Scope of Work.

a. Submit Contract Award Information (DAS-140):
i. Although there are a few exemptions (identified below), all Contractors, regardless of union affiliation, must submit contract award information when performing on a California public works project.
ii. The DAS-140 is a notification “announcement” of the Contractor’s participation on a public works project—it is not a request for the dispatch of an apprentice. iii. Contractors shall submit the contract award information (you may use form DAS 140) wit hin 10 days of the execution of the prime contract or subcontract, but in no event later than the first day in which the Contractor has workers employed on the public work. iv. Contractors who are already approved to train apprentices (i.e. check “Box 1” on th e DAS-140) shall only be required to submit the form to their approved program. v. Contractors who are NOT approved to train apprentices (i.e. those that check either “Box 2” or “Box 3” on the DAS-140) shall submit the DAS -140 TO EACH of the apprenticeship pr ogram sponsors in the area of your public works project. For a listing of apprenticeship programs see 164

b. Employ Registered Apprentices
i. Labor Code section 1777.5 requires that a contractor performing work in an “apprenticeable” craft must employ one (1) hour of apprentice work for every five (5) hours performed by a journeyman.
This ratio shall be met prior to the Contractor’s completion of work on the project. “Apprenticeable” crafts are denoted with a pound symbol “#” in front of the craft name on the prevailing wage determination.
ii. All Contractors who do not fall within an exemption category (see below) must request for dispatch of an apprentice from an apprenticeship program (for each apprenticeable craft or trade) by giving the program actual notice of at least 72 hours (business days only) before the date on which apprentices are required.
iii. Contractors may use the “DAS-142” form for making a request for the dispatch of an apprentice. iv. Contractors who are participating in an approved apprenticeship training program and who did not receive sufficient number of apprentices from their initial request must request dispatch of apprentices from ALL OTHER apprenticeship committees in the project area in order to fulfill this requirement.
v. Contractor should maintain and submit proof (when requested) of its DAS -142 submittal to the apprenticeship committees (e.g. fax transmittal confirmation). A Contractor has met its requirement to employ apprentices only after it has successfully made a dispatch request to all apprenticeship programs in the project area.
vi. Only “registered” apprentices may be paid the prevailing apprentice rates and must, at all times work under the supervision of a Journeyman (Cal. Code Regs., tit 8, § 230.1). c. Make Training Fund Contributions
i. Contractors performing in apprenticeable crafts on public works projects, must make training fund contributions in the amount established in the prevailing wage rate publication for journeymen and apprentices.

iv. Training fund contributions to the CAC are due and payable on the 15th day of the month for work performed during the preceding month.
v. The “training” contribution amount identified on the prevailing wage determination shall not be paid to the worker, unless the worker falls within one of the exemption categories listed below.
3. Exemptions to Apprenticeship Requirements:
a. The following are exempt from having to comply with California apprenticeship requirements. These types of contractors do not need to submit a DAS -140, DAS -142, make training fund contributions, or utilize apprentices:
i. When the Contractor h olds a sole proprietor license (“Owner -Operator”) and no workers were employed by the Contractor. In other words, the contractor performed the entire work from start to finish and worked alone.
ii. Contractors performing in non -apprenticeable crafts. “Apprent iceable” crafts are denoted with a pound symbol “#” in front of the craft name on the prevailing wage determination. iii. When the Contractor has a direct contract with the Public Agency that is under $30,000. iv. When the project is 100% federally-funded and the funding of the project does not contain any city, county, and/or state monies (unless the project is administered by a state agency in which case the apprenticeship requirements apply).
v. When the project is a private project not covered by the definition of public works as found in Labor Code section 1720.
4. Exemption from Apprenticeship Rations:
a. The Joint Apprenticeship Committee shall have the discretion to grant a certificate, which shall be subject to the approval of the Administrator of Apprenticeship, exe mpting the Contractor from the 1 -to-5 ratio set forth in this Section when it finds that any one of the following conditions are met:
i. Unemployment for the previous three -month period in such area exceeds an average of fifteen percent (15%); or
ii. The number o f apprentices in training in such area exceeds a ratio of 1 -to-5 in relation to journeymen; or
165
Revised 06/16/2021 Page 25 of 25
iii. The Apprenticeable Craft or Trade is replacing at least one -thirtieth (1/30) of its journeymen annually through apprenticeship training, either on a statewide basis or on a local basis; or iv. If assignment of an apprentice to any work performed under the Contract Documents would create a condition which would jeopardize such apprentice's life or the life, safety or property of fellow employees or the public at large, or if the specific task to which the apprentice is to be assigned is of such a nature that training cannot be provided by a journeyman. b. When such exemptions from the 1 -to-5 ratio between apprentices and journeymen are granted to an organization which repr esents contractors in a specific trade on a local or statewide basis, the member contractors will not be required to submit individual applications for approval to local Joint Apprenticeship Committees, provided they are already covered by the local apprenticeship standards.
5. Contractor’s Compliance:
a. The responsibility of compliance with this Section for all Apprenticeable Trades or Crafts is solely and exclusively that of the Contractor. All decisions of the Joint Apprenticeship Committee(s) under this Section are subject to the provisions of California Labor Code section 3081 and penalties are pursuant to Labor Code section 1777.7 and the determination of the Labor Commissioner.

b. Any apprentices employed to perform any of the Scope of Work shall be paid the standard wage to apprentices under the regulations of the craft or trade for which such apprentic e is employed, and such individual shall be employed only for the work of the craft or trade to which such individual is registered.

2. Compliance with California Labor Code section 1777.5 requires all public works contractors to:
a. Submit Contract Award Information (DAS-140):
i. Although there are a few exemptions (identified below), all Contractors, regardless of union affiliation, must submit contract award information when performing on a California public works project.
ii. The DAS-140 is a notification “announcement” of the Contractor’s participation on a public works project—it is not a request for the dispatch of an apprentice. iii. Contractors shall submit the contract award information (you may use form DAS 140) wit hin 10 days of the execution of the prime contract or subcontract, but in no event later than the first day in which the Contractor has workers employed on the public work. iv. Contractors who are already approved to train apprentices (i.e. check “Box 1” on th e DAS-140) shall only be required to submit the form to their approved program. v. Contractors who are NOT approved to train apprentices (i.e. those that check either “Box 2” or “Box 3” on the DAS-140) shall submit the DAS -140 TO EACH of the apprenticeship pr ogram sponsors in the area of your public works project. For a listing of apprenticeship programs see 189

b. Employ Registered Apprentices
i. Labor Code section 1777.5 requires that a contractor performing work in an “apprenticeable” craft must employ one (1) hour of apprentice work for every five (5) hours performed by a journeyman.
This ratio shall be met prior to the Contractor’s completion of work on the project. “Apprenticeable” crafts are denoted with a pound symbol “#” in front of the craft name on the prevailing wage determination.
ii. All Contractors who do not fall within an exemption category (see below) must request for dispatch of an apprentice from an apprenticeship program (for each apprenticeable craft or trade) by giving the program actual notice of at least 72 hours (business days only) before the date on which apprentices are required.
iii. Contractors may use the “DAS-142” form for making a request for the dispatch of an apprentice. iv. Contractors who are participating in an approved apprenticeship training program and who did not receive sufficient number of apprentices from their initial request must request dispatch of apprentices from ALL OTHER apprenticeship committees in the project area in order to fulfill this requirement.
v. Contractor should maintain and submit proof (when requested) of its DAS -142 submittal to the apprenticeship committees (e.g. fax transmittal confirmation). A Contractor has met its requirement to employ apprentices only after it has successfully made a dispatch request to all apprenticeship programs in the project area.
vi. Only “registered” apprentices may be paid the prevailing apprentice rates and must, at all times work under the supervision of a Journeyman (Cal. Code Regs., tit 8, § 230.1). c. Make Training Fund Contributions

iv. Training fund contributions to the CAC are due and payable on the 15th day of the month for work performed during the preceding month.
v. The “training” contribution amount identified on the prevailing wage determination shall not be paid to the worker, unless the worker falls within one of the exemption categories listed below.
3. Exemptions to Apprenticeship Requirements:
a. The following are exempt from having to comply with California apprenticeship requirements. These types of contractors do not need to submit a DAS -140, DAS -142, make training fund contributions, or utilize apprentices:
i. When the Contractor h olds a sole proprietor license (“Owner -Operator”) and no workers were employed by the Contractor. In other words, the contractor performed the entire work from start to finish and worked alone.
ii. Contractors performing in non -apprenticeable crafts. “Apprent iceable” crafts are denoted with a pound symbol “#” in front of the craft name on the prevailing wage determination. iii. When the Contractor has a direct contract with the Public Agency that is under $30,000. iv. When the project is 100% federally-funded and the funding of the project does not contain any city, county, and/or state monies (unless the project is administered by a state agency in which case the apprenticeship requirements apply).
v. When the project is a private project not covered by the definition of public works as found in Labor Code section 1720.
4. Exemption from Apprenticeship Rations:
a. The Joint Apprenticeship Committee shall have the discretion to grant a certificate, which shall be subject to the approval of the Administrator of Apprenticeship, exe mpting the Contractor from the 1 -to-5 ratio set forth in this Section when it finds that any one of the following conditions are met:

ii. The number o f apprentices in training in such area exceeds a ratio of 1 -to-5 in relation to journeymen; or
190
Revised 06/16/2021 Page 25 of 25
iii. The Apprenticeable Craft or Trade is replacing at least one -thirtieth (1/30) of its journeymen annually through apprenticeship training, either on a statewide basis or on a local basis; or iv. If assignment of an apprentice to any work performed under the Contract Documents would create a condition which would jeopardize such apprentice's life or the life, safety or property of fellow employees or the public at large, or if the specific task to which the apprentice is to be assigned is of such a nature that training cannot be provided by a journeyman. b. When such exemptions from the 1 -to-5 ratio between apprentices and journeymen are granted to an organization which repr esents contractors in a specific trade on a local or statewide basis, the member contractors will not be required to submit individual applications for approval to local Joint Apprenticeship Committees, provided they are already covered by the local apprenticeship standards.
5. Contractor’s Compliance:
a. The responsibility of compliance with this Section for all Apprenticeable Trades or Crafts is solely and exclusively that of the Contractor. All decisions of the Joint Apprenticeship Committee(s) under this Section are subject to the provisions of California Labor Code section 3081 and penalties are pursuant to Labor Code section 1777.7 and the determination of the Labor Commissioner.

City Manager's Office
SUBJECT:
Authorization to Engage Employee Groups Regarding Vaccine Incentive RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize City staff to engage with the various employee groups to create and implement a Vaccine Incentive Program.
COUNCIL GOALS:
· To create a team by working together to provide stability and consistent policy direction. · To operate in a businesslike manner by becoming more service oriented. · To operate in a businesslike manner by ensuring that the public debate is based on accurate information.
· To practice sound fiscal management by living within our means while investing in the future.
DISCUSSION:
The City wants to do everything it can to keep its employees and citizens safe from COVID-19; one way of doing so is for employees to be vaccinated. To date, the vaccination rate of City employees is approximately seventy-eight percent (78%) as of August 2021. Other public entities have created incentive programs for employees to encourage them to be vaccinated; as such, the City Manager is recommending that the City do the same. For City employees, staff is considering the creation of a vaccine incentive program which would provide every employee who is already vaccinated, gets vaccinated, or establishes that they are exempt from being vaccinated for medical or religious reasons with 40 additional hours of leave that can be used or cashed out on or before December 31, 2022. The program would be created in conjunction with each employee group through the meet and confer process in accordance with the Meyers-Milias-Brown Act and would be implemented via side letter agreements with each employee group.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The estimated cost associated with the approval of this item at the stated vaccination rate is $742,000, up to $951,000 assuming a 100% vaccination rate, paid out of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 funds.
