RESOLUTION NO. 2025-034
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FONTANA, CALIFORNIA, adopting a public hearing and presentation on the status of the City’s vacancies, recruitment and retention efforts, and obstacles in the hiring process by the Human Resources and Risk Management Department and recognized employee organizations’ presentations as required by Assembly Bill 2561.
WHEREAS, the City Council has adopted the Personnel Rules and Regulations which incorporate the City’s Classification and Compensation Plan; and WHEREAS, the Classification and Compensation Plan is not a static document and requires periodic revisions to reflect organizational changes and workforce needs.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Fontana, California, as follows:
Section 1. Recitals. The above recitals are true, correct and incorporated herein by this reference.
Section 2. CEQA. This Resolution is not a project within the meaning of Section 1538 of the State of California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) Guidelines, because it has no potential for resulting in physical change in the environment, directly or indirectly. The City Council further finds, under Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, Section 15061(b)(3), that this Resolution is nonetheless exempt for the requirements of CEQA in that the activity is covered by the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Council, therefore, directs that a Notice of Exemption be filed with the County Clerk of the County of San Bernardino in accordance with CEQA Guidelines.
Section 3. Presentation on the Status of Vacancies and Recruitment and Retention Efforts. The City Council of the City of Fontana hereby adopts to conduct a public hearing before City Council at least once each fiscal year regarding the status of vacancies and recruitment and retention efforts (Gov. Code § 3502.3(a)(1)) and identify any necessary changes to policies, procedures, and recruitment activities that may lead to obstacles in the hiring process (Gov. Code § 3502.3(a)(3)). If vacancies in a single bargaining unit meet or exceed 20% of authorized full-time positions, the City must provide additional reporting at the request of the employee organization. In addition, the recognized employee organization for each bargaining unit at the City are entitled to make presentations during the public hearing concerning vacancies and recruitment and retention efforts.
Section 4. Severability. If any provision of this Resolution or the application of any such provision to any person or circumstance is held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect other provisions or applications of this Resolution that can be given effect without the invalid provision or application, and to this end the provisions of this Resolution are severable. The City Council declares that it would have adopted this Resolution irrespective of the invalidity of any particular portion of this Resolution.
Section 5. Certification. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution.
