SUBJECT:

Master Case No. 24-092; Miscellaneous Project No. 24-011: Review of the 2024 General Plan Annual Progress Report
RECOMMENDATION:

Based on the information in the staff report, staff recommends that the City Council direct staff to send the 2024 General Plan Annual Progress Report to the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR) and the State Department of Housing Community Development (HCD).

COUNCIL GOALS:
· Promote economic development by establishing a quick, consistent development process. · Increase citizen involvement by providing the community with information on development projects.
· Provide a diverse range of housing types and levels of affordability while addressing homelessness in the community by promoting diverse range of housing projects and levels of affordability.
· Concentrate on Inter-governmental relations by advocating Fontana's position in regional, state, and federal organizations.

DISCUSSION:

The General Plan is mandated by California Government Code Section 65300, which requires each city and county to adopt a comprehensive plan for the physical development of the jurisdiction. It addresses land use, transportation routes, population growth, open space, air and water quality, noise, safety issues and other related physical, social, and economic development factors. Through the identification of goals, objectives, and policies, a General Plan creates a strategy framework for implementation. In addition to service as a basis for local decision-making the General Plan establishes a clear set of development rules for citizens, developer, decisions-makers, neighboring cities, and counties and provide the community with an opportunity to participate in the planning decision-making process.

Government Code Section 65400 mandates that all cities and counties submit to their legislative bodies an annual report on the status of their General Plan and progress in its implementation. A copy of this progress report must be sent to the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR) and the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) by April 1st of each year.

Annual Progress Reports (APRs) provide local legislative bodies with information regarding the status and implementation of the General Plan for their city or county. The annual progress report City of Fontana Page 1 of 2 Printed on 3/5/2025

status and implementation of the General Plan for their city or county. The annual progress report also allows the City of Fontana to determine the effectiveness of the Housing Element and identify necessary “course adjustments” to Housing Department goals, programs, policies, and implementation measures.

The City’s legislative bodies have used the 2015-2035 General Plan as the primary source of longrange planning and policy direction. All future development activities will be consistent with the General Plan, which will continue to guide growth and preserve the quality of life within the community. The General Plan Annual Progress Report (Attachment No. 1) details the key implementation actions that the city accomplished or made progress on in 2024.

Additionally, the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) requires the reporting of Housing Element implementation on specific state reporting forms. The method of reporting of Housing Element implementation is established by HCD with the purpose of tracking overall housing production in a community, as well as a jurisdiction’s progress toward meeting its regional housing needs assessment (RHNA) allocation. A summary of the City’s housing efforts in 2024 is included in Attachment No. 2 of this report.

INTRODUCTION
Purpose of this Document
Section 65400 (b) of the State of California government Code requires planning agencies provide an annual report to their legislative body, the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR), and the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) of the status of the General Plan and progress in its implementation. The four basic purposes of the annual report are as follows:
• To provide information to assess progress on implementation of the General Plan in accordance with the stated goals, polices and implementation measures.
• Provide information to identify necessary course adjustments or modifications to the General Plan as a means to improve implementation.
• To provide a clear correlation between land use decisions made during the reporting period, and the goals, policies and implementation measures in the General Plan. • To provide information regarding local agency progress in meeting its share of regional housing needs and local efforts to remove governmental constraints to the development of housing.

The General Plan Annual Progress Report summarizes the City of Fontana’s progress towards implementing the goals, policies and programs of the 2015-2035 City’s General Plan. It covers the period of January 1, 2024, through December 31, 2024. The report provides for the annual review of the General plan to assess the level of implementation and effectiveness of the General Plan as a guide for orderly growth and development. The General Plan Progress Report also provides information regarding the City’s progress in meeting its share of regional housing needs.

BACKGROUND
The City of Fontana was incorporated on June 25, 1952. Fontana is a general-law city governed by codes adopted by the legislators of the State of California. The City of Fontana is governed by an elected Mayor and four District Council Members. Located in the Inland Empire, Fontana is situated 110 miles north of San Diego, 50 miles east of Los Angeles, 50 miles northeast of the heart of Orange County and 15 miles west of the City of San Bernardino.

The Fontana planning area encompasses approximately 52.4 square miles (43.1 square miles-city limits/9.3 square miles-sphere of influence area). Since the last comprehensive update to the General Plan in 2018, the population of the City has increased from 209,895 (source: General Plan Chapter 2 and 2020 US Census—Quick facts) to 215,465.

The City of Fontana has extensively used the specific plan process for large tracts of undeveloped land in its planning area. Currently, the City of Fontana has adopted twenty-seven (27) specific plans and community plans. The specific plans and community plans within the city limits encompass almost 12,000 acres, representing over 26,000 dwelling units, 700 acres of commercial development, and 2,700 acres of industrial property.

GENERAL PLAN

BACKGROUND
The General Plan is mandated by California
Government Code Section 65300, which
requires each city and county to adopt a
comprehensive plan for the physical
development of the jurisdiction. It addresses
land use, transportation routes, population
growth, open space, air and water quality,
noise, safety issues and other related physical,
social and economic development factors.

Through the identification of goals, objectives,
and policies, a General Plan creates a strategy
framework for implementation. In addition to
serving as a basis for local decision making, the
General Plan establishes a clear set of
development rules for citizens, developers,
decision-makers, neighboring cities and
counties, and provides the community with an
opportunity to participate in the planning and
decision-making process.

In November of 2018, the City adopted a
comprehensive update to the General Plan that
contains a shared vision for the future
community of Fontana, a plan outlining
strategies on how to pursue and achieve that
vision, and an action plan that assists in
advancing the goals, policies, and
implementation measures outlined in the
general plan.

AMENDMENTS TO THE GENERAL PLAN
State law allows the city to amend its General
Plan no more than four times per year.

Amendments may be proposed and acted
upon at any time during the year and one
action may include multiple amendments. Any
changes to the General Plan require a public
hearing by the City Council and evaluation of
the environmental impacts as required by the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

In 2024, the City amended the General Plan two
times to facilitate three development
entitlement applications and a new specific
plan.
32 7

PLANNING DEPARTMENT
The Planning Department of the Development Services Organization is the initial contact for development through the land entitlement process. From inception to completion, Planning works to ensure the highest standards for the use and design of any project submitted, while meeting the applicant’s needs as well. This section outlines the activities of the Planning Department from January 2024 through December 2024.

The day-to-day planning activities include:

Administering the City’s Zoning Ordinance (Development Code) Answering public inquiries
Processing planning applications for the Planning Commission and City Council Reviewing and approving business license applications for zoning compliance Preparing reports for the Planning Commission and City Council 33 8
Telephone/Entitlement Activity
Telephone activity represents the number of people
calling for assistance to the Planning Department.

Phone call records are kept and tracked on a
monthly basis. In 2024, the Planning Department
received 6,375 phone calls in total.

The Planning Department now offers government
services through an online permitting resource
known as Build Fontana, which is utilized to
streamline the entitlement process for the applicant
by allowing the submittal of new applications, the
ability to check status of application processing and
the ability to access documents associated with the
application.

Planning Applications
The City of Fontana utilizes a Master Case Number
(MCN) tracking system which is assigned to every
unique formal entitlement request. The Master Case
Number serves as a tracking mechanism for the
number of projects that have been taken in the city.

For example, a proposal for a new shopping
development will be assigned an MCN (“Master
Case Number”) file number. Within the MCN file
number, all required individual entitlement
applications for the project such as Design Review,
Conditional Use Permit requests, Variances, and
Zone Changes, are assigned individual case
numbers that are tied to the MCN number. Based
on the Master Case Number (MCN) tracking system,
a total of 113 planning entitlement projects were
received during this review period. Also, during this
review period a total of 79 planning projects were
approved.

In addition to the applications, planning staff
reviewed business licenses and conducted plan
check review to ensure the proposed business,
improvement and new construction are in
compliance with the zoning code.
34 9

BUILDING & SAFETY DEPARTMENT
The Building and Safety Department is responsible for a variety of tasks that include issuing building permits, processing plan check submittals, and conducting building inspections. The Building and Safety Department provides professional plan checking, permitting, and inspections that assure adherence and compliance with the 2022 California Building Code. New building construction and tenant improvements require plan check review for zoning and Building Code compliance.

HOUSING ELEMENT
37 12
Housing Element Reporting Requirements
Housing Element law requires quantification of each jurisdiction’s existing and projected housing needs for all income levels. The City’s Department of Housing and Business Development continues to administer the Community Development Block Grant Funds in accordance with U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development requirements. In addition, existing programs in the Zoning and Development Code (i.e. Accessory Dwelling Units) provides the City with the flexibility and standards to encourage future development of low income housing.

The Housing Element is one of the seven State mandated elements included in the City of Fontana’s General Plan. The purpose of the Housing Element is to identify and plan for the City’s existing and projected housing needs; it contains a detailed outline and work program of the City’s goals, policies, quantified objectives, and programs for the preservation, improvement, and development of housing for a sustainable future. On February 8, 2022 the City Council approved Resolution No. 2022-011 for the adoption of a comprehensive update to the Housing Element (6th Cycle Housing Element Update) that will plan for the 2021-2029 planning period.

Each eight-year planning cycle, the City is allocated a specific number of housing units called the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) determined by the Southern California Association of Governments. The RHNA quantifies current and future housing growth within a City. The Table shows the median income limits established by HUD for the Fontana area with the associated affordable rent and affordable home sales prices for each income category along with number of building permits issued for years 2021 to 2029.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
39 14

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT

PROGRAM (CIP)
The State of California Government Code Section
66002 requires local agencies that have
developed a fee program to adopt a CIP
indicating the approximate location, size, timing
and an estimate of the cost of all facilities or
improvements to be financed by fees. The City of
Fontana has such a fee program and the City’s
adopted seven-year Capital Improvement
Program outlines the infrastructure needs for the
future.

Projects and expenditures identified for future
fiscal years are approved on a planning basis
and do not receive expenditure authority until
they are part of the capital budget for that fiscal
year. The public, City Council, Planning
Commission, Engineering, and Parks and
Recreation Commission review of the overall
seven-year program is performed annually for
effective implementation of the City’s Vision
Statement as well as the City Council’s more
immediate goals and objectives.

The Seven-year Capital Improvement Program for
FYs 2023/2024 through 2029/2030 sets forth
infrastructure needs and a capital plan involving
178 projects totaling approximately $995,192
million. Of this, all projects and expenditures
identified for future fiscal years beyond 2023/2024
are approved on a planning basis and do not
receive expenditure authority until they are part
of the capital budget for that fiscal year. A review
of the seven-year program is performed annually
by the Parks and Community Services
Commission, the Planning Commission and the
City Council in order to ensure effective
The City’s seven-year CIP continues to advance the
“City Council’s Vision” and strive to accomplish the
“City Council’s Goals and Objectives”. This vision
statement and the goals and objectives adopted by
the City Council will guide the development of
policies, goals and objectives adopted in the City’s
General Plan.

GENERAL PLAN

IMPLEMENTATION STATUS
41 16
Housing Element
The State of California mandates that each county and city maintain a Housing Element in their General Plan. Section 65583 of the Government Code sets forth the specific
components to be contained in a community’s housing
element, including the City’s share of the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA).

In addition to providing assistance and guidance for the City’s Housing Element, the Housing Department administers a
variety of community development activities including
affordable housing activities and neighborhood improvement programs. Following are programs and activities supporting the goals of the Housing Element:

Updates in 2024:

Density Bonus Regulations
The regulations for density bonuses were expanded in 2024 beyond the requirements stipulated by the State of
California. Per state law, the city is required to provide concessions and incentives when a density bonus is
requested for a development containing affordable
residential units. However, the Zoning and Development
Code was amended to allow concessions and incentives
when affordable housing is being provided, even if a
density bonus is not requested. This furthers the goals of the Housing Element by removing barriers to providing
affordable housing in the city.

Walnut Village Specific Plan
The Walnut Village Specific Plan was rescinded and
readopted in 2024. With the assistance of LEAP grant funds from the California Department of Housing and
Community Development, the city initiated a
comprehensive overhaul of the specific plan, which was
originally adopted in 1980. The new Walnut Village Specific Plan provides additional residential density and
opportunities for mixed-use development in the three
undeveloped/underdeveloped areas of the specific plan,
which furthers the goals of the Housing Element.

Fair Housing Services
The Housing Department contracted with the Inland Fair
Housing & Mediation Board to provide fair housing
services. Discrimination investigation and assistance
services were provided to 457 residents. Landlord-tenant mediation assistance (which includes the discussion of
options, such as conciliation with a landlord, referral to a government enforcement agency, or private attorney)
was provided to 4,335 residents.
42 17
Conservation, Open Space
and Trails Element
Open space and parks are key aspects to well being for
Fontana residents.

Updates in 2024:

Goal: Fontana has multiuse trails that provide north-south links and connections with the Pacific Electric Trail and other city pedestrian and bicycle routes
Action: Seek funding sources to implement the San
Sevaine Trail, and design and implement an
"Eastside Trail" linking the City from north to south in the eastern part of the city.

Construction of Phase 1 of the San Sevaine Trail began in 2024. The trail will be a 1.25 multi-purpose trail along the Etiwanda Creek/San Sevaine Channel between the Pacific
Electric Trail in the City of Fontana and Banyan Avenue in the City of Rancho Cucamonga.

Goal: All Fontana residents live within walking or biking distance of a public park and there are sufficient public parks to serve all areas of the city.

Action: Pursue park development where
parkland is insufficient.

In May 2024, two new dog parks received approved
entitlements. The Southridge East dog park is to be located on the east side of Citrus Avenue, south of Windcrest Drive.

The Southridge West dog park is to be located between
Live Oak Avenue and Village Drive, south of Camellia Drive.

Each park is one acre in size and will feature large and small breed dog sections with parking, fencing, drinking fountains and park benches. The sites are located in the existing Southern California Edison easement. Single-family residential neighborhoods are located to the north and
south of each site so residents will be provided a nearby recreational amenity to use.

Additionally, ten parks received new playgrounds, shade structures and/or backstops in 2024. The playgrounds
provided improved accessibility for persons with disabilities, thereby increasing the usefulness of the parks by the
community at large.
43 18
Community Mobility and
Circulation Element
This element of the General Plan focuses on
transportation policies.

Updates in 2024:

Goal: The city has attractive and convenient parking
facilities, including electric charging stations, for both motorized and non-motorized vehicles that meet need that fit the context.

Action: Provide sufficient motor vehicle and
secure bicycle parking in commercial and
employment centers to support vibrant economic
activity.

The Downtown Parking Structure project began
construction in 2024. The 4.5 tier parking structure is located at 16948 Arrow Boulevard and is part of the civic center campus. The project complements the downtown
revitalization underway and will provide parking for the civic center, Stage Red Theater and other businesses
downtown. Additionally, a second parking structure is in the inception and design phase. It will be located near the northeast corner of Arrow Boulevard and Nuevo Avenue.

Goal: The City of Fontana has a comprehensive and
balanced transportation system, with safety and multimodal accessibility the top priority of citywide transportation planning, as well as accommodating freight movement.

Action: Provide roadways that serve the needs of
Fontana residents and commerce, and that facilitate
safe and convenient access to transit, bicycle
facilities and walkways.

Construction of the widening of Sierra Avenue from Foothill Boulevard to Baseline Avenue was completed in 2024. The project included the widening of the street to six total lanes for vehicles, curb, gutter, raised landscape median, a new traffic signal and approximately 2.2 miles of bike lanes. The provision of bike lanes and sidewalks improves safety for bikers and pedestrians and provides easier access to the many transit routes utilizing Sierra Avenue.
44 19
Land Use, Zoning, and
Urban Design Element
This element of the General Plan sets forth the policy framework for the physical development of Fontana. It is a guide for the decision-makers that sets the pattern, distribution, density and intensity of land uses that over time will assist the City in achieving the vision of Fontana for the future.

Updates in 2024:

Goal: Fontana development patters support a high quality of life and economic prosperity.

Action: Locate multi-family development in mixeduse centers, preferably where there is nearby access to retail, services and public transportation.

During this review period, construction began on several new multi-family projects along major corridors, such as Sierra Avenue and Foothill Boulevard. For example, a new 88 unit multiple family project (Sierra Townhomes) is being constructed at the northwest corner of Sierra Avenue and Ramona Avenue. Also, construction began on a new 344-
unit mixed-use development on the southwest corner of
Foothill Boulevard and Live Oak Avenue. These
developments (and several others) are in mixed use areas with nearby access to public transportation.

Goal: Downtown is a dynamic center of activity with new housing options, walkable environments, and a mixture of uses attracting residents and visitors.

Action: Transform downtown into a vibrant local and
regional destination.

The revitalization of Downtown Fontana made major strides in 2024. Construction of a new 4.5 tier parking structure commenced, which the project inception and design
phase began for a second parking structure, which will
provide parking for a new mixed-use development that
received approved entitlements in 2024. The development will consist of ground floor retail with pedestrian corridor offices and 20 residential units on upper floors.

Additionally, the completion of the renovation of the Stage Red theater will contribute to the revitalization of the downtown. It is expected to draw traffic to the downtown area for concerts and shows in a more intimate and highend setting. 45 1

GENERAL PLAN

IMPLEMENTATION STATUS
60 16
Housing Element
The State of California mandates that each county and city maintain a Housing Element in their General Plan. Section 65583 of the Government Code sets forth the specific
components to be contained in a community’s housing
element, including the City’s share of the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA).

Updates in 2024:

Fair Housing Services
The Housing Department contracted with the Inland Fair
Housing & Mediation Board to provide fair housing
services. Discrimination investigation and assistance
services were provided to 457 residents. Landlord-tenant mediation assistance (which includes the discussion of
options, such as conciliation with a landlord, referral to a government enforcement agency, or private attorney)
was provided to 4,335 residents.
61 17
Conservation, Open Space
and Trails Element
Open space and parks are key aspects to well being for
Fontana residents.

Updates in 2024:

Goal: All Fontana residents live within walking or biking distance of a public park and there are sufficient public parks to serve all areas of the city.

Action: Pursue park development where
parkland is insufficient.

In May 2024, two new dog parks received approved
entitlements. The Southridge East dog park is to be located on the east side of Citrus Avenue, south of Windcrest Drive.

The Southridge West dog park is to be located between
Live Oak Avenue and Village Drive, south of Camellia Drive.

Additionally, ten parks received new playgrounds, shade structures and/or backstops in 2024. The playgrounds
provided improved accessibility for persons with disabilities, thereby increasing the usefulness of the parks by the
community at large.
62 18
Community Mobility and
Circulation Element
This element of the General Plan focuses on
transportation policies.

Updates in 2024:

Goal: The city has attractive and convenient parking
facilities, including electric charging stations, for both motorized and non-motorized vehicles that meet need that fit the context.

Action: Provide sufficient motor vehicle and
secure bicycle parking in commercial and
employment centers to support vibrant economic
activity.

Action: Provide roadways that serve the needs of
Fontana residents and commerce, and that facilitate
safe and convenient access to transit, bicycle
facilities and walkways.

Construction of the widening of Sierra Avenue from Foothill Boulevard to Baseline Avenue was completed in 2024. The project included the widening of the street to six total lanes for vehicles, curb, gutter, raised landscape median, a new traffic signal and approximately 2.2 miles of bike lanes. The provision of bike lanes and sidewalks improves safety for bikers and pedestrians and provides easier access to the many transit routes utilizing Sierra Avenue.
63 19
Land Use, Zoning, and
Urban Design Element
This element of the General Plan sets forth the policy framework for the physical development of Fontana. It is a guide for the decision-makers that sets the pattern, distribution, density and intensity of land uses that over time will assist the City in achieving the vision of Fontana for the future.

Updates in 2024:

Goal: Fontana development patters support a high quality of life and economic prosperity.

Action: Locate multi-family development in mixeduse centers, preferably where there is nearby access to retail, services and public transportation.

Goal: Downtown is a dynamic center of activity with new housing options, walkable environments, and a mixture of uses attracting residents and visitors.

Action: Transform downtown into a vibrant local and
regional destination.

Additionally, the completion of the renovation of the Stage Red theater will contribute to the revitalization of the downtown. It is expected to draw traffic to the downtown area for concerts and shows in a more intimate and highend setting. 64 City of Fontana

FROM:

Human Resources
SUBJECT:

Implementation of Classification and Compensation Study and Ratification of the 2024 - 2027 Memorandum of Understanding for the Fontana Police Benefit Association.

RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt Resolution No. 2025-017, a resolution of the City Council of the City of Fontana, California, approving the Memorandum of Understanding and the updated salary table between the Fontana Police Benefit Association and the City to establish terms of employment.

COUNCIL GOALS:
· Operate in a businesslike manner by ensuring that the public debate is based on accurate information.
· Practice sound fiscal management by producing timely and accurate financial information. · Practice sound fiscal management by living within our means while investing in the future. · Create and maintain a dynamic team by promoting stability and predictability by providing consistent policy direction.
· Create and maintain a dynamic team by communicating Goals and Objectives to all commissions and employees.
· Create and maintain a dynamic team by emphasizing staff development.

DISCUSSION:

On February 14, 2023, the City Council awarded an agreement to Public Sector Personnel Consultants (PSPC) to assess the competitiveness of the City’s current classification and compensation structure for all positions city-wide. A Classification and Compensation Study was conducted, and the findings were presented to the City Council during Closed Session on May 14, 2024. At that time, the City Council directed staff to develop a pathway toward competitive pay as part of their goal to address employee recruitment, retention, and stability.

Coinciding with these efforts, the Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) between the City and the Fontana Police Benefit Association (“PBA”) expired as of June 30, 2024. The City and the PBA have been negotiating in good faith since May 2024, with the implementation plan outlined below incorporated into these negotiations.

Implementation Plan
Although the study found that the City was, on average, five percent (5%) ahead of market based on total compensation, many of our current salary ranges are below the market average for similar roles City of Fontana Page 1 of 2 Printed on 3/5/2025
powered by Legistar™ 65
File #: 25-0046 Agenda Date: 3/11/2025
Agenda #: C. Category: Consent Calendar
total compensation, many of our current salary ranges are below the market average for similar roles in comparable cities, which directly impacts recruitment and employee retention. Specifically, PSPC identified classifications within the PBA as being an average of 3.5% below market. Aligning salary ranges with the market average and negotiated wage adjustments moving forward are essential for maintaining a competitive and fair compensation structure. The implementation plan outlined below will address current pay disparities to be fair and equitable, support employee satisfaction, and enhance our ability to attract and retain top talent.

Effective March 22, 2025, salary ranges for PBA classifications identified as below market will be adjusted to the rate established in the Classification and Compensation Study, and the negotiated wage increase applied. On average, classifications are being adjusted by 4.7%. For the classifications identified as below market, incumbents will be moved to the next highest step within the new range, potentially unlocking future earning potential for the incumbent within their updated classification’s salary range.

Tentative Agreement
In addition to implementation of the Classification and Compensation Study, the City has concluded negotiations with the PBA, agreeing on terms and conditions of employment outlined in the attached MOU. Staff is recommending the formal ratification of the MOU.

The tentative agreement reached with the PBA spans a three (3) year period, ending June 30, 2027.

Highlights include:
· A 4.0% base salary increase, effective March 22, 2025. · A 3.3% base salary increase, effective July 12, 2025. · A 3.3% base salary increase, effective July 11, 2026. · A new Longevity Pay tier of $1,000 for employees with five (5) years but less than ten (10) years of service.

The updated salary table for the PBA is also being presented. Additionally, a one-time payment of $2,000 will be provided to all PBA employees as of March 11, 2025.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The total estimated budgetary financial impact associated with the approval of this contract is $785,290 through fiscal year 2026-27, for the remainder of FY24-25 the estimated salary adjustment is $94,980 plus an additional $170,400 related to the one-time, $2,000 payment for each employee.

The FY24-25 salary adjustment was included with the Mid-Year Budget Report.

MOTION:

Approve staff recommendation.

The terms and conditions of this MOU shall be applicable to all classifications set forth on the Association’s salary table commencing on July 1, 2024 and ending June 30, 2027.

The City and Association acknowledge that the City is working through the implementation of a new Human Resources & Payroll System (“System”) during the term of this MOU. The completion and readiness of the System shall be a reopener as to all issues that are impacted. To the extent the System’s implementation may impact terms and conditions of employment, the parties will meet, confer, and negotiate prior to implementation (July 2021).

ARTICLE 1: RECOGNITION
For purposes of meeting and conferring on wages, hours and working conditions and general representation of its members, formal recognition is hereby granted to the Fontana Police Benefit Association.

ARTICLE 2: ZIPPER CLAUSE
The City and the Association, for the life of this MOU, each voluntarily and unqualifiedly waives the right, and each agrees that the other shall not be obligated to meet and confer with respect to any subject or matter referred to or covered in this MOU, or with respect to any subject or matter not specifically referred to or covered in this MOU, even though such subject or matter may not have been within the knowledge or contemplation of either or both of the parties at the time they have met and conferred or signed this MOU.

ARTICLE 3: CITY PERSONNEL RULES
It is understood and agreed that there exists within the City, in written or unwritten form, certain personnel rules, policies, practices and benefits, generally contained in the "City of Fontana Personnel Rules and Regulations," and "Employer-Employee Rules and Regulations" as amended by City resolutions and Memorandum of Understanding. Those rules, policies, and benefits, which are subject to the meet and confer process, will continue in effect, except for those provisions modified by this MOU, unless and until modified by mutual agreement of the parties and enacted by the City Council, if necessary, in accordance with state laws, orders, regulations, official instructions or policies.

73 FONTANA POLICE BENEFIT ASSOCIATION
JULY 1, 2024 – JUNE 30, 2027
2 PBA Representative - 2 copies

ARTICLE 4: NO DISCRIMINATION
Neither the City nor the Association shall unlawfully discriminate, retaliate, or otherwise suffer violation of the California Fair Employment Act, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, or any other applicable anti-discrimination law in any way against any City employee, Association member, or applicant. Likewise, neither the City nor Association shall discriminate or retaliate against any employee or member for any lawful act relating to their employment or Association membership.

ARTICLE 5: DUES DEDUCTION
Section 1 - Dues Deduction Authorization

Changes in work schedules are intended to be of a permanent nature or for an extended period of time.

Employees scheduled to attend training on a day when they are scheduled to work a 10 hour shift will be required to work a full shift (i.e. employees scheduled to work a 10 hour shift will be required to work the full 10 hours). Reasonable travel time, determined by the Department, will be permitted within the required work period. Travel time shall be based on the distance from the Police Department to the training location or the length of travel to the location from which the employee must be housed on or near the training site.

Section 1 - Personal Leave Accrual
The personal leave accrual rate as of July 1, 2017, shall be as follows:

YEARS OF SERVICE HOURS ASSIGNED

2 Years but less than 4 Years 211.2 hours 8.12 hours
4 Years but less than 6 Years 222.4 hours 8.55 hours

Section 2 - Leave Accrual Limits
Effective March 22, 2025 (the beginning of the pay period following contract ratification), employees agree that the total number of personal leave hours which can be accrued in their leave bank at any given time is a maximum of two and one half (2.5) times the employee’s annual personal leave accrual. The application of the maximum accrual limit will be made on a pay period by pay period basis. Once the maximum accrual limit is met, employees will cease to accrue personal leave time until the next pay period in which they have reduced their personal leave below their accrual limit.

The City Manager shall, upon written request, approve payouts of accrued leave time, which are in excess of the two- and one-half year ceiling and/or the 120 hour maximum, when such excess leave is the result of the employee's scheduled leave being denied or canceled because of City needs.

Section 3 – Pre-Election of Leave Cash Out
In accordance with 26 CFR 1.451-2 effective December 1, 2025, and continuing thereafter, employees must submit an irrevocable pre-election form, by no later than December 1st of the year in which the election is made, to convert the following hours to cash or a deferral into their deferred compensation account:

Personal Leave - An amount which may not exceed the number of personal leave hours the employee may accrue in the following calendar year. 76 FONTANA POLICE BENEFIT ASSOCIATION
JULY 1, 2024 – JUNE 30, 2027
5 Compensatory Time – An amount which may not exceed the projected number of compensatory time hours the individual employee may receive in the following calendar year.

1. The maximum amount of leave time (personal leave, compensatory time, or a combination of both) which can be cashed out under the City's "leave plans" is one-hundred and twenty (120) hours per calendar year.

2. The requested cash out will be paid out at either or both dates below, but only with respect to leave time that has accrued before the cash out date, via direct deposit, not to exceed the maximum amount listed in this Article per calendar year:

Payment Dates
• On or before July 31st
• On or before the second Friday in December

3. Personal leave that is cashed out shall be paid at the employee’s base rate of pay that is in effect at the time of such cash out. Compensatory time that is cashed out shall be paid at the employee’s regular rate of pay that is in effect at the time of such cash out.

4. Employees’ leave time (as mentioned above) may not be reduced to less than eighty (80) hours as a result of participation in the annual leave cash out.

5. The cash out is subject to the pre-elected leave being available. If an employee uses more leave than anticipated to where it would affect the amount of leave cashed out, the amount of leave cashed out will be adjusted to reflect the leave used, provided that the employee maintains a minimum balance of 80 hours in their leave bank after the cash out.

6. The leave cash-out election is for hours to be accrued or received in the calendar year following submission of the irrevocable election form. In the event an employee has less hours in their personal leave and/or compensatory time bank at the time the cash-out is to be paid than they had previously elected to cash-out, the employee shall only be paid for up to the amount remaining in their personal leave and/or compensatory time bank at the time of the actual cash-out.

7. If an employee makes an irrevocable election to cash-out personal leave and/or compensatory time in the following calendar year and uses such leave in that subsequent calendar year, the personal leave and/or compensatory time used will come from the personal leave or compensatory time the employee had earned (if any) prior to January 1st of the calendar year in which the leave time the employee has elected to cash-out accrues. The employee’s use of earned, but unused personal leave and/or compensatory time accumulated from previous calendar years shall not result in a reduction in the amount of vacation and/or compensatory time hours the employee is eligible to cash-out.

Thus, an employee on a 5/8 schedule would receive eight (8) hours of holiday pay or time off or leave bank credit, and an employee on a 4/10 schedule would receive ten (10) hours of holiday pay or time off or leave bank credit, and an employee on a 12 hour schedule would receive ten (10) hours of holiday pay or time off or leave bank credit. In this manner, employees on a modified work schedule (such as 4/10) do not have to supplement observed holidays off with paid personal leave.
83 FONTANA POLICE BENEFIT ASSOCIATION
JULY 1, 2024 – JUNE 30, 2027
12 Floating holidays may be used with prior written approval (which will not be unreasonably withheld).

Section 3 - Rules Applicable to Group A Classifications Employees in this group receive holidays off. Holidays are considered as time having been worked. Holidays cannot be moved off the observance day for particular employees and days off cannot be adjusted to avoid payment of holiday time.

Should the observed holiday fall on a regular day off, the employee will be entitled to the same number of hours as their regular shift and said holiday will be observed the first scheduled work day, prior to or after the holiday as designated by the employee’s supervisor.

Employees called back to work on a holiday shall receive call-back pay and overtime at the rate of time and one-half for all hours worked.

In order to be eligible for a paid holiday, the employee must be in a paid status, both the day before and the day after the holiday.

Section 4 - Rules Applicable to Group B Classifications Group B classifications have required scheduled staffing without regard to holidays, and employees are therefore regularly scheduled on holidays as a part of their normal fulltime duties and schedule. When so directed or assigned, employees in Group B shall receive their regular pay for the actual hours worked on a holiday. In addition, such employees shall also receive an equivalent amount of pay or compensatory time off, at the employees’ election, in lieu of holiday compensation. The pay or compensatory time will be paid as 5.38 hours per pay period over 26 pay periods (the equivalent of 14 holidays, 11 of which are observed that are PERSable, and 3 are floating holidays that are non-PERSable, at the regular rate of pay for a ten (10) hour shift). The amount reported to CalPERS for use in pension calculations is four and twenty-three hundredths (4.23) hours per pay period, for a total of one hundred ten (110) hours holiday pay per annum (based on the 11 approved holidays to be compliance with Government Code Sections 20636 and 7522.34 and Sections 571 and 571.1 of the California Code of Regulations).

Employees requesting equivalent time off in lieu of pay or compensatory time shall submit their request in writing to the Police Chief on or before July 1 of each year. Such requests shall include the dates the employee desires to be off using holiday time and cannot exceed the equivalent of the pay or compensatory time the employee would normally receive. All requests are subject to the approval of the Police Chief. Newly appointed employees will be provided an opportunity during their Departmental onboarding to elect time off in lieu of pay or compensatory time off for the purposes of this section. Thereafter, they will follow the normal provisions of this section as outlined above. 84 FONTANA POLICE BENEFIT ASSOCIATION

ARTICLE 26: ACCESS TO WORK LOCATIONS
The parties recognize and agree that in order to maintain good employee relations, it is sometimes necessary for Representatives of the Association to confer with City employees during working hours.

Therefore, Representatives will be granted access to work locations during regular working hours to investigate and process grievances or appeals when so necessary. 88 FONTANA POLICE BENEFIT ASSOCIATION
JULY 1, 2024 – JUNE 30, 2027
17 Representatives shall be granted access upon obtaining authorization from the appointing authority or designated management representative prior to entering a work location and after advising of the general nature of the business. However, the appointing authority or designated management representative may deny access or terminate access to work locations if in their judgment, it is deemed that the visit would interfere with the efficiency, safety, or security of City operations. The appointing authority shall not unreasonably withhold timely access to work locations. The appointing authority shall insure that there is at all times someone designated who shall have full authority to approve access. If a request is denied, the appointing authority or designated management representative shall establish a mutually agreeable time for access to the employee.

Representatives granted access to work locations shall limit such visits to a reasonable period of time, taking into consideration the nature of the grievance or appeal.

The appointing authority or designated management representative may mutually establish with the Association’s Representative reasonable limits as to the number of visits authorized with the same employee on the same issue, and reasonable limits as to the number of employees who may participate in a visit when several employees are affected by a specific issue. The City shall not unduly interfere with the Association’ Representative access to work locations.

ARTICLE 27: CALL OUT/STANDBY
The Animal Services Officer I/II classification shall receive $250.00 per week for all weeks that the position is required to be on standby duty. The Forensic Investigator classification shall receive $300 pay or eight (8) hours of compensatory time off (Association member’s choice) for each week (prorated for any portion thereof) of standby duty. For the purposes of proration, a full week is considered 168 hours. Therefore, if an employee is not on standby for a certain period of time (calculated by hours within a day), they would receive a prorated portion of standby pay along with the employee that is covering their standby duty. For example, if an employee scheduled to be on standby from Thursday at 0700 through the following Thursday at 0659 but has requested to not be on standby from Thursday at 0700 – Monday at 0659 (4 days or 96 hours), the employee would be paid a prorated portion of standby time, or for 72 hours. 72 hours out of the 168 hours (a full week), is equal to 0.43, multiplied by the employee’s election.

Converted to compensatory time, the prorated amount would be 3.44 hours (8 hours x

0.43). Converted to pay, the prorated amount would be $129 ($300 x 0.43). The similar formula would apply to the employee that is covering the standby duty but using 96 hours out of the 168 hours (a full week), which is equal to 0.57. Converted to compensatory time, the prorated amount would be 4.56 hours (8 hours x 0.57). Converted to pay, the prorated amount would be $171 ($300 x 0.57). (July 2021). The employees in the above classifications must be able to respond and provide emergency support within two (2) hours of receiving a call.

SUBJECT:

Business License Compliance Program - Home-based Businesses RECOMMENDATION:

Authorize the one-time waiver of penalties and prior year business license tax for home-based businesses or individuals who are brought into compliance with City Code Chapter 15-36 through the Business License Compliance Program - Home-based Businesses.

COUNCIL GOALS:
· Operate in a businesslike manner by creating a memorable customer experience with every interaction.
· Operate in a businesslike manner by improving services through the effective use of technology.
· Operate in a businesslike manner by correcting problems immediately. · Promote economic development by being business friendly at all levels and striving to constantly improve the city's competitiveness.

DISCUSSION:

Per Section 15-36 of the Fontana City Code, all businesses, trades, professions, callings and occupations who transact and carry on any business, trade, profession, calling or occupation in the city is required to first obtain a license from the City to do so. In April of 2023, the City of Fontana contracted with HDL Business Services to assist the City with its Business License Compliance program. The City has issued on average over 8,400 business licenses annually since 2017-18 that generate over $7 million in revenue for the City’s general fund. Through the Business License Compliance Program, HDL has forecasted that the City would realize an increase of over $660,000 in on-going business license tax revenue as a result of increased compliance through this program. To date, over $1.4 million in current and prior year business license fee and penalty revenue has been received.

Per section 15-45 of the Code, failure to pay a license tax under this article when due shall result in a penalty of 20 percent of such license tax on 31st day after the business commenced to operate for the first time and an additional 20 percent on the first day of each month thereafter, provided that the amount of such penalty to be added shall in no event exceed 100 percent of the amount of the license tax due. Section 15-39(h) allows for a waiver of fees only for applications that are not more than 30 days past due.

The Business License Compliance Program is outlined below:
· The City has partnered with HdL for business license software since 2004. The software is used to process all business license applications.
· The Business License Compliance Program is administered by HdL. HdL takes the data in the business license software and compares it to sales tax data to ensure that every business that is reporting sales tax is also licensed. Additionally, HdL conducts field surveys. · Once non-compliant businesses are identified, HdL communicates required compliance information and outreach services to the business which includes a business license application.
· The non-compliant business applicant completes the application and returns it to HdL. · HdL reviews the application and applies the required annual business license fee and associated penalties per the City code based upon the information provided by the noncompliant business and invoices the business accordingly. · In the event the non-compliant business has been conducting business within the City for more than three years without a license, City code determines that they will only be invoiced for a maximum of three years plus the current year.
· HdL also provides a business support center via phone or online where business owners can get answers to questions that arise; provides document submission/processing, invoicing, and data entry into the business license software.

Since the implementation of the program, numerous businesses have been successfully brought into compliance, and for others, compliance has presented a significant hardship. Due to some businesses owing multiple years’ worth of fees, with the associated penalties equally 100% of the fee, these businesses have requested the waiver of the penalties. Additionally, as home-based businesses are generally small and are more seriously impacted financially by unexpected expenses, they are requesting a waiver of prior year Business License tax in addition to the penalties. As the goal of this program is compliance and due to the fact that the Finance Department does not have any legal authority to waive any penalties or Business License taxes, with the exception of that as cited above, staff is requesting the formal approval of the Business License Compliance Program - Home-based Businesses that would be retroactive covering all associated notices/invoices that have already been sent, and to continue to the process as outlined above and including the following parameters:
· While penalty waivers have already been approved for all compliance customers who are brought into compliance within 30 days from the date of notice, Business License tax waivers shall only be applied to home-based businesses.
· Adding the authority allowing the Finance Department to waive all penalties and prior year Business License tax for prior years, for invoices associated with and identified as homebased businesses through the Business License Compliance Program if payment is made within 30 days from the date of the invoice.
· Authorize the reimbursement of the penalty payments and prior year Business License taxes already collected from home-based businesses if payment had been made within 30 days. · Authorizing the Finance Department to negotiate payment plans to assist businesses if requested.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Based upon the program estimate, if taxes and fees, including penalties, are received from the currently identified home-based businesses, the revenue is forecasted to be just under $160,000.

The waiver of penalties and prior year fees would result in a fiscal impact of an approximate 72% or $115,000 decrease in one-time revenue to the general fund. In addition, once commission is paid to HdL and the accounts that have paid have been refunded, it would result in a one-time expense of approximately $4,500.
