RISK MANAGEMENT / HUMAN RESOURCES DIVISION
Risk Management
There was one new Worker’s Compensation claim as of April 21, 2025 and one new tort claims.

City staff continues to work closely with LWP for Worker’s Compensation claims and George Hills our third party claims administrators to bring these claim to settlement or closure. Currently the City has no open tort claims as they have all been successfully rejected or settled and closed.

Risk staff recently changed providers for the third party administration of the City’s Random Department of Transportation pull list. Previously the City worked with Comprehensive Drug Testing, but after receiving information from the City’s risk pool, it was discovered there would be cost savings to the City by migrating services to a company called Plexus Global. Transition is complete, and Plexus provided services for the City’s second quarter testing.

On April 30, 2025, risk staff submitted a Safety and Loss grant application to the City’s risk pool, California Intergovernmental Risk Authority (CIRA). The grant was approved and will cover the City’s cost for risk staff to attend the annual Public Agency Risk Management (PARMA) conference.

TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members
FROM: Aaron Felmlee, Finance Director
THROUGH: Amy Nilsen, City Manager
SUBJECT: Finance Department Monthly Report
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Receive report as an informational item.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

Grant Submittals:

Staff have been supporting departments in submitting a number of smaller grants in an effort to supplement the General Fund budget with outside funding. This has become a vital strategy for the City to maintain and upgrade aging equipment and continue to offer the services to the community that they have become accustomed to. Most recently the Building Vehicle grant was submitted for reimbursement with the Department of Agriculture which provided $38,000 for the necessary upgrade of vehicles within the Community Development Department.

Staff have also completed the annual registration for the City to be active within the U.S. federal government’s System for Award Management (SAM.gov). Registration through this system is the only way the City is able to obtain federally funded grants.

New Utility Bill Online Payment System:

The City migrated to a new online payment system, Invoice Cloud, in April. The new payment system has additional payment options including Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal, Venmo, and eCheck. The new site is also more user friendly and requires less steps to make one-time payments and setup an account. One of the goals of migrating to the new website was to increase the number of customers setup for autopay and email bills. This goal will reduce the amount of time and cost associated with processing payments in person and via the City’s drop box.

Staff have been working hard on getting the word out on the new website and assisting customers in getting set up on the new site. In just a few weeks the number of customers signed up for autopay and email bills is over 200. Staff will be continuing to assist customers in getting setup over the coming months.

Measure E Update:

The Measure E committee’s next regularly scheduled meeting is set for September 16, 2025 at 5:30pm. The primary purpose of this meeting will be for Staff to review with the Committee the Consent Item 3f

list of Measure E funded projects that were included in the Council Adopted Budget for fiscal year 2025-26.

DATE: May 19, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members
FROM: Bob Natt, Interim Public Works Director/General Services Superintendent THROUGH: Amy Nilsen, City Manager
SUBJECT: Approval of a Contract with GR Sundberg Inc. for a Minor Concrete Maintenance and Repair Project; Resolution 2025-13
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt Resolution 2025-13 approving a Contract for a Minor Concrete Maintenance and Repair Project with GR Sundberg Inc.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The purpose of the Contract for Minor Concrete Maintenance and Repair Project (“Contract”) is to contract with a qualified paving contractor to provide routine minor repairs and maintenance for City streets, gutters, and sidewalks on an on-call basis, for an amount not to exceed $100,000.00 (one hundred thousand dollars) for the one-year term of the Contract.

Section 2.50.070.D of the Fortuna Municipal Code provides that formal bidding is not required for individual on-call projects when the City Council finds that a negotiated contract best serves the City due to the nature of the contractual service. A standard public bidding process would not be appropriate for this Contract due to the on-call nature of the Contract and the importance of selecting a contractor who has the qualifications, equipment, crew, and availability to respond promptly to requests and to perform the work expeditiously, economically, effectively and safely.

Staff requested informal proposals from six concrete contractors and received three proposals, one from GR Sundberg Inc., one from Mercer Fraser Company, and one from RAO Construction. After a review of the unit pricing for both bids, staff has selected to negotiate a Contract with GR Sundberg Inc. to provide the on-call maintenance and repair services for the City. Specifically, GR Sundberg Inc. was determined to bid the lowest pricing for curb and gutter, corner ramps, and driveway approaches, which are the work items staff plan to complete most often in this year’s contract task orders.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

The Contract is not to exceed $100,000.00 (one hundred thousand dollars) during the one-year term unless authorized in writing. The actual cost will depend on how much work is required during the one-year term. The actual cost could be less than the not-to-exceed amount depending on the need for services, or higher than the not-to-exceed amount if authorized due to the need for services. The City Budget for Fiscal Year 2025-26 includes $50,000 (fifty thousand dollars) in the Annual Consent Item 3k

Concrete Project CIP 9073 (fund 275), and $15,000 (fifteen thousand dollars) in ADA parking improvements under fund 260 (TDA non-transit), with the remaining being for miscellaneous items.

RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:

SUBJECT: Approval of a Contract with Mercer-Fraser Company for a Minor Street Paving Maintenance and Repair Project; Resolution 2025-14 STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt Resolution 2025-14 approving a Contract for Minor Street Paving Maintenance and Repair Project with Mercer-Fraser Company.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The purpose of the Minor Street Maintenance and Repair Project (“Contract”) is to contract with a qualified paving company to provide routine minor repairs and maintenance for City streets on an on-call basis, for an amount not to exceed $800,000.00 (eight hundred thousand dollars) for a one-year term.

Section 2.50.070.D of the Fortuna Municipal Code provides that formal bidding is not required when the City Council finds that a negotiated contract best serves the City due to the nature of the service. A standard public bidding process would not be appropriate for this Contract due to the on-call nature and the importance of selecting a contractor who has the qualifications, equipment, crew, and availability to respond promptly to requests and to perform the work expeditiously, economically, effectively and safely.

Three paving contractors were requested to provide informal proposals. Four of the three contractors responded. After reviewing the proposed unit pricing, staff recommends that the City contract with Mercer-Fraser Company, which has been identified as the most cost-effective and qualified.

The work will consist of the removal and replacement of hot-mix asphalt at various locations in the City. The locations will be determined and task orders issued, as paving needs arise throughout the year.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

The Contract is not to exceed $800,000.00 (eight hundred thousand dollars) during the one-year term unless authorized in writing. The actual cost will depend on how much work is required during the one-year term.

Consent Item 3l

There is approximately $300,000 available funding currently in this year’s budget. The remaining $300,000 is money unspent from fiscal year 2024-25 that could be requested by staff as a budget rollover if this year’s projects require additional funding. It should be noted that the unspent funding from this year was not due to lack of need, but rather staff postponed work for a larger project in the future. Below is a chart outlining City funding sources.

City Fund FY 25-26 Budget Amount FY 24-25 Possible Rollover Amount

TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members
FROM: Bob Natt, Interim Director of Public Works/General Services Superintendent THROUGH: Amy Nilsen, City Manager
SUBJECT: Approval of a Contract with Darren Taylor Construction, Inc. for Minor Street Striping Maintenance and Repair Project: Resolution 2025-15 STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt Resolution 2025-15 approving a Contract for Minor Street Striping Project with Darren Taylor Construction, Inc.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The purpose of the Contract for Minor Street Striping Project (“Contract”) is to contract with a qualified contractor to provide routine minor striping for City streets, on an on-call basis, for an amount not to exceed $60,000.00 (sixty thousand dollars) for the one-year term of the Contract.

Section 2.50.070.D of the Fortuna Municipal Code provides that formal bidding is not required when the City Council finds that a negotiated contract best serves the City due to the nature of the contractual service. A standard public bidding process would not be appropriate for this Contract due to the on-call nature of the Contract and the importance of selecting a contractor who has the qualifications, equipment, crew, and availability to respond promptly to requests and to perform the work expeditiously, economically, effectively and safely.

Staff requested informal proposals from three qualified striping contractors and received two proposal responses. Staff have confirmed that the single proposing contractor, Darren Taylor Construction, Inc, can meet the City’s needs for this project and is qualified to provide the on-call Striping services for the City based upon overall qualifications, unit pricing, equipment, and availability.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

The Contract is not to exceed $60,000.00 (sixty thousand dollars) during the one-year term unless authorized in writing. The actual cost will depend on how much work is required during the oneyear term. The actual cost could be less than the not-to-exceed amount depending on the need for services, or higher than the not-to-exceed amount if authorized due to the need for services. The City budget for Fiscal Year 2025-26 has $20,000 (twenty thousand dollars) in its street repairs section (fund 260) toward this project, and the remaining available $40,000 (forty thousand dollars) will provide striping for the annual paving contract projects if necessary.

STAFF REPORT
City Council Agenda Item
DATE: May 19, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members
FROM: Bob Natt, Interim Public Works Director
THROUGH: Amy Nilsen, City Manager
SUBJECT: Approve a Supplemental Budget Request for Vehicle Replacement in Capital Outlay Fiscal Year (FY) 2024-25
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Approve a Supplemental Budget Request to increase Funds of Capital Outlay from FY 2024-25 to purchase a new vehicle for the Police Department.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

Staff is requesting to increase funding in Capital Outlay to replace a pursuit vehicle for the Police Department. On March 3, 2025, at approximately 1:00 PM, the Fortuna Police Department attempted a traffic stop on a green motorcycle in the 300 block of 9th Street in Fortuna. The rider failed to comply and fled, prompting a brief vehicle pursuit. The chase ended when the pursuing police vehicle collided with private property, including a utility pole on the 800 block of O Street, which caused significant damage to the police vehicle.

An insurance claim was submitted, and the adjuster claimed the vehicle “Totaled” and will provide a salvage cost for the damaged vehicle. Staff received a quote for the vehicle to be fixed at a local autobody shop for $32,315.06, however, additional parts would be necessary, and the repairs didn’t include costs to repair the engine and operating components of the vehicle. Staff had to consider the safety of the officer, and that this vehicle is compromised.

Staff contacted Future Chevrolet, who originally sold the Tahoe’s to the City in February of 2023, and they had two 2025 Chevrolet Tahoe’s available and would not have any other law enforcement vehicles until 2026, so the City requested they hold one, which they agreed to.

Staff is requesting that the Council approve a Supplemental Budget Request (SBR) in the amount of $70,000 out of Capital Outlay to replace the vehicle. The insurer will deduct the cost of equipment removed from the vehicle to install on the new one including staff time. The price of a new Tahoe is $67,924.04, unequipped.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No overall fiscal impact. Approval of the recommended Supplemental Budget Request will increase $70,000 to the FY 2024-25 Capital Outlay budget, account 100-8000-2000 and increase $70,000 to the FY 2024-25 Reimbursement budget, account 100-4801.

City Council Consent Item
DATE: May 19, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members
FROM: Amy Nilsen, City Manager
SUBJECT: Approval of the June 29, 2025 to June 30, 2027 Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) Concerning Working Conditions, Wages and Benefits with the Fortuna Employee Association (FEA)
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommend the Council approve an MOU with the FPEA for the term, June 29, 2025, to June 30, 2027.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

Staff are presenting the complete MOU between the City and the FEA, for City Council approval.

The attached MOU incorporates the changes agreed upon between the City and the FEA during recent negotiations. Below is a summary of the changes. • Section VII: Wages, 1. Wage Adjustments
Summary of changes: For Fiscal Years 2025-26 and 2026-27, the City will provide a onetime $6,000 retention stipend to be paid in two equal lump sum installment payments of $3,000 – the first payment in the last pay period of July and the second payment in the first pay period of December . In order to receive the installment payment, an employee must be currently employed by the City and either scheduled for active shifts or be on paid leave as of the beginning of the applicable pay period referenced above.

Effective June 29, 2025, for a 24-month trial period, the normal, full-time workweek shall consist of thirty-four (34) hours with offices closed on Fridays. Upon the schedule change, a full-time equivalent (FTE) of 1.0 is equivalent to an employee who normally works thirty-four hours per week.

During the 24-month trial period of the 34-hour work week hourly pay will be adjusted by 17.65% to ensure employees are earning the same weekly amount. • Section VIII: Insurance, 2. Opting Out of Medical Coverage For FEA members that are opting out of medical coverage the opt out payment option has been adjusted from a flat $500.00 per month to 75% of the employee-only medical premium, prorated and paid bi-monthly.

Consent Item 3o

• Section IX: Holiday Benefits and Paid Leaves, 1. Vacation The City will transition to a thirty-four (34) hour workweek with offices closed on Fridays. Therefore, vacation accrual has been reduced from 80 hours of accrued vacation in a year to 68 hours. This adjustment still allows for two weeks of accrued time with Friday office closures. The chart below represents the changes for all years of service.

Full Years of Service
Completed by Employee
Number of Working Days of
Vacation Earned
Maximum Accumulated
Leave in Bank Allowed
1 through 5 years 68 Hours annually 160 Hours
6 through 10 years 102 Hours annually 240 Hours
11 years and Over 136 Hours annually 320 Hours
• Section IX: Holiday Benefits and Paid Leaves, 4. Holidays Summary of changes: The number of holidays has been reduced because of the 34-hour work week, and if the holidays shown below fall on a Friday the FEA will not receive the holiday. The below provides greater detail on the changes to holidays in the FEA MOU.

Holidays Provided Effective June 29, 2025:

To ensure consistent services and continued operations while providing a 34-hour workweek, the City agrees to pay all full-time regular employees in the bargaining unit for the following eight (8) holidays per year:
• New Year's Day,
• The day observed as President’s Day,
• Memorial Day,
• Independence Day,
• Labor Day,
• Thanksgiving,
• Christmas Eve,
• Christmas Day.

However, if one of the eight (8) holidays referenced above is on a Friday, Saturday, or Sunday, employees will not receive the holiday.

Employees shall receive eight and a half (8.5) hours of pay for a holiday.

The Friday after Thanksgiving is now an additional floating holiday, for a total of three (3) floating holidays that will be available by July 1 each year.

At the completion of the 24-month trial period, unless otherwise extended by the City and the Association, holidays provided to full-time Association employees will revert back to the policies that existed prior to the trial period.

Consent Item 3o

• Section X: Hours of Work and Overtime, 2. Work Schedule Trial Period: Effective June 29, 2025, as part of a 24-month trial period, the normal, fulltime workweek shall consist of thirty-four (34) hours. Upon the schedule change, a fulltime equivalent (FTE) of 1.0 is equivalent to an employee who normally works thirtyfour hours per week. During this time, the Employer and Employees will evaluate the effectiveness of the schedule, including any impacts on productivity, morale, and worklife balance. • Section X: Hours of Work and Overtime, 3. Overtime Definition For a trial period of 24-months, overtime is defined as hours worked in excess of thirtyfour (34) hours per week. Overtime shall be paid at one (1) times the employee’s base rate of pay for hours worked between 34 and 40 per workweek and one and one-half (1- 1/2) times the employee's base rate of pay for hours worked over 40 hours per workweek.

It is understood and agreed upon that during the transition to the 34-hour work week, the Utilities Crew and Wastewater Crew will incur overtime due to the nature of the job and up until the time it takes to train qualified employees. • Section X: Hours of Work and Overtime, 4. FLSA 7(b) Work Period Overtime Exemption
For the Wastewater Treatment Plant operations employees, during the 24-month 34-hour work week trial period the City and association agree to modify the ‘10-8’ shift to be 8 consecutive 8.5 hour days with 6 consecutive days off. At the completion of the 24- month trial period, unless otherwise extended by the City and the Association, this modification will revert back to 10 consecutive 8-hour days with 4 consecutive days off. • Section X: Hours of Work and Overtime, 5. Rate of Overtime Overtime shall be paid at the rate of one (1) times the employee’s base rate of pay for hours worked between 34 and 40 per week and one and one-half (1-1/2) times the employee's base rate of pay for hours worked over 40 hours per week. • Section XI: Other Pay/Incentives, 4. Special Event Pay Parks and General Service employees scheduled to work the entire week during the annual Rodeo and AutoExpo events, shall receive double-time pay for any hours worked over 40 hours.

FISCAL IMPACT
Fiscal impacts associated with the terms of the MOU’s have been reviewed by Council during the negotiations process, in the budget workshop on May 1, and will be included in the Fiscal Year 2025-26 budget.

The May 1 budget workshop reviewed the impacts of negotiations with FEA and Fortuna Police Employment Association by implementing costs into the proposed budget for FY 2025-26 and Consent Item 3o

further discussing the 34-hour work week, closure of City offices on Fridays, and $331,400 in stipend costs for two fiscal years.

At the completion of the 24-month trial period, unless otherwise extended by the City and the Association, the definition of overtime will revert back to that referenced in Subsection A above that existed prior to the trial period.

4. FLSA 7(b) Work Period Overtime Exemption
Regarding work periods for Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) operations employees:

The Fortuna Employees Association, representing WWTP Operations Employees, modified workday and workweek includes the existing standard workday of 8 hours and a standard hour work week of 40 hours to also include, with the concurrence of the City the following option:
• 10 consecutive 8 hour days with 4 consecutive days off, described herein as the ‘10-8’ shift.

At the completion of the 24-month trial period, unless otherwise extended by the City and the Association, this modification will revert back to 10 consecutive 8 hour days with 4 consecutive days off.

For purposes of the FLSA the 52-week 7(b) work period for WWTP Operations Employees shall be fourteen (14) days and shall consist of no more than eighty (80) hours within said work period.

Under this agreement, overtime is defined as time worked in excess of the scheduled workday or time worked on a scheduled day off. In all events, time worked in excess of the hours specified above for a work period under the FLSA shall be overtime.

5. Rate Of Overtime
Unless otherwise specified in this Section, overtime shall be paid at the rate of one (1) times the DRAFT FEA MOU 2025-27

The employee shall have the choice of taking overtime in cash or compensatory time off.

For all positions represented by the Association, for the purpose of overtime calculations, the base rate will include incentive pay, longevity pay, and special assignment pay as applicable.

6. Rest Periods
A. Each employee covered by this Agreement will be afforded rest periods.

B. The length of the rest periods will be fifteen (15) minutes during the first half of an employee's work shift, and fifteen (15) minutes during the last half of an employee's work shift, unless the City and the Association agree otherwise in writing.

7. Accumulation Of Compensatory Time Off (CTO)
A. Employees represented by the Association acknowledge that it is in the best interest of the City to avoid overtime, and agree to work with their supervisors and department heads to rearrange their work week whenever possible to avoid the occurrence of overtime. In the event that overtime must be incurred, employees represented by the association will have two options: 1) be paid overtime at the employee's rate of pay as described in Section X.5 above, or 2) accumulate compensatory time off at the rate of one (1) time for each hour worked between 34 and 40 hours per week and one and one-half (1.5) times for each hour worked in excess of 40 hours per week up to a maximum of one hundred sixty (160) hours to be taken off at a later time as requested by the employee, and approved by the Supervisor.

B. Once an employee has banked a maximum of 160 hours of compensatory time, any additional overtime will be paid to the employee.

Banked CTO time may be sold back two (2) times each Fiscal Year up to a maximum of 80 hours on the next regular pay day, provided the request is made at least one (1) week prior to such payday.

C. An employee who has accrued compensatory time off shall be permitted by his/her supervisor to use such compensatory time within a reasonable period of time after making the request if the use of compensatory time does not unduly disrupt the operations of the City. Compensatory time off must be used in increments of not less than one-quarter hour.

STAFF REPORT
City Council Consent Item
DATE: May 19, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members
FROM: Amy Nilsen, City Manager
SUBJECT: Establish and Authorize Supplemental Compensation and Benefits for Unrepresented Management, Confidential Employees, Resolution 2025-16, and Approve Supplemental Compensation for Regular Part-time Employees STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends the Council establish and authorize supplemental compensation and benefits for unrepresented management and confidential employees by adopting Resolution 2025-16 and approve supplemental compensation for regular part-time employees.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The City’s Management and Confidential employee classifications consist of both sworn (police) and general employees that are unrepresented, which means they have not engaged in collective bargaining with the City on matters related to wages, benefits and other terms and conditions of employment. As negotiations for Memorandum of Understandings (MOU’s) are reaching a conclusion for the represented employee groups, it is recommended that Council address wages, benefits and other terms and conditions of employment that pertain to the City’s unrepresented classifications as listed in the resolution and including the following positions:
• Human Resources Director/City Clerk
• Public Works Director
• Finance Director
• City Manager
• Police Chief
Although the Management and Confidential employees have not negotiated and therefore do not have an MOU, a Supplemental Compensation and Benefits Resolution has been drafted and is intended to operate in much the same way as an MOU and reflects the same benefits negotiated with the Fortuna Employees Association.

The attached resolution incorporates the summary of changes below for full-time unrepresented, management and confidential employees:
• For Fiscal Years 2025-26 and 2026-27, the City will provide a one-time $6,000 retention stipend to be paid in two equal lump sum installment payments of $3,000 – the first payment in the last pay period of July and the second payment in the first pay period of December. In order to receive the installment payment, an employee must be currently employed by the City and either scheduled for active shifts or be on paid leave as of the beginning of the applicable pay period referenced above.

Consent Item 3p

• Effective June 29, 2025, for a 24-month trial period, the normal, full-time workweek shall consist of thirty-four (34) hours with offices closed on Fridays. Upon the schedule change, a full-time equivalent (FTE) of 1.0 is equivalent to an employee who normally works thirty-four hours per week.
• During the 24-month trial period of the 34-hour work week hourly pay will be adjusted by 17.65% to ensure employees are earning the same weekly amount. • For unrepresented employees that are opting out of medical coverage the opt out payment option has been adjusted from a flat $500.00 per month to 75% of the employee-only medical premium, prorated and paid bi-monthly.
• The City will transition to a thirty-four (34) hour workweek with offices closed on Fridays.

Therefore, vacation accrual has been reduced from 80 hours of accrued vacation in a year to 68 hours. This adjustment still allows for two weeks of accrued time with Friday office closures. The chart below represents the changes for all years of service.

Full Years of Service
Completed by Employee
Number of Working Days of
Vacation Earned
Maximum Accumulated
Leave in Bank Allowed
1 through 5 years 68 Hours annually 160 Hours
6 through 10 years 102 Hours annually 240 Hours
11 years and Over 136 Hours annually 320 Hours
• The number of holidays has been reduced because of the 34-hour work week, and if the holidays shown below fall on a Friday unrepresented employees will not receive the holiday. Greater details on the changes to holidays are provided below.

Holidays Provided Effective June 29, 2025:

To ensure consistent services and continued operations while providing a 34-hour workweek, the City agrees to pay all full-time regular employees in the bargaining unit for the following eight (8) holidays per year:
• New Year's Day,
• The day observed as President’s Day,
• Memorial Day,
• Independence Day,
• Labor Day,
• Thanksgiving,
• Christmas Eve,
• Christmas Day.

However, if one of the eight (8) holidays referenced above is on a Friday, Saturday, or Sunday, employees will not receive the holiday.

Employees shall receive eight and a half (8.5) hours of pay for a holiday.

The Friday after Thanksgiving is now an additional floating holiday, for a total of three (3) floating holidays that will be available by July 1 each year.

At the completion of the 24-month trial period, unless otherwise extended by the City and the Association, holidays provided to full-time Association employees will revert back to the policies that existed prior to the trial period.

Consent Item 3p

• Trial Period: Effective June 29, 2025, as part of a 24-month trial period, the normal, full-time workweek shall consist of thirty-four (34) hours. Upon the schedule change, a full-time equivalent (FTE) of 1.0 is equivalent to an employee who normally works thirty-four hours per week. During this time, the Employer and Employees will evaluate the effectiveness of the schedule, including any impacts on productivity, morale, and work-life balance.

In addition to the unrepresented Management and Confidential employees, as part of the negotiations process, the Council agreed to a one-time stipend for regular part-time employees, including the following positions:
• Parks Maintenance Worker I (RPT)
• Bus Driver I (RPT) (Does not include retired annuitant) • Transit Dispatch / Office Assistant (RPT)
• Museum Curator (RPT)
• Administrative Assistant I (RPT)

Regular part-time employees shall receive the following supplemental compensation:

In order to receive the installment payment, an employee must be currently employed by the City and either scheduled for active shifts or be on paid leave as of the beginning of the applicable pay period referenced above.

FISCAL IMPACT
Fiscal impacts associated with the terms of the MOU’s have been reviewed by Council during the negotiations process, in the budget workshop on May 1, and will be included in the Fiscal Year 2025-26 budget.

RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:

Establish and authorize supplemental compensation and benefits for unrepresented management and confidential employees by adopting Resolution 2025-16 and approve supplemental compensation for regular part-time employees. Consent agenda vote ATTACHMENTS:

SECTION 3. OPTING OUT OF MEDICAL COVERAGE
A. Under the following circumstances, a full-time employee may decline medical coverage, and receive a stipend for opting out of coverage provided the following conditions are met:

1. The medical insurance plan must allow an employee to decline coverage, and the employee can meet any and all requirements for opting out of coverage.

2. The employee must provide written proof of other coverage.

3. All local, federal and state laws must be observed, as well as conditions of any contract into which the City has entered, or will enter; particularly the Section 125 plan the City has in place.

In order to exercise this option, an employee must provide evidence of other insurance coverage provided by a member of his/her immediate family. If an employee does opt out, he/she will not be eligible to come back into the City plan until the next open enrollment period, or in the case of a qualifying event as stated in the medical insurance contract.

Under no circumstances will an employee be permitted to aggregate SDI, or other benefits in an amount exceeding the employee’s regular wage or wage.

SECTION 5. HOLIDAY BENEFITS AND PAID LEAVES

Vacation leave may be taken as it accrues, after one year of employment. Each unrepresented nonsafety employee shall be granted at least eighty (68) hours of vacation per calendar year provided the employee has vacation time accrued.

An employee who becomes ill or has a family medical emergency during his or her scheduled vacation may elect to use sick leave or family sick leave in lieu of vacation time, provided the department head is notified at the beginning of the illness, injury or emergency and; provided further the employee, upon return from vacation provides the Human Resources Manager with a certificate from a medical doctor stating the nature and extent of the employee's illness or injury during his or her vacation.

For unrepresented safety employee(s) the vacation schedule in the Fortuna Police Officers Association MOU will be the guiding document.
6 SECTION 6. ACCRUED VACATION / SICK LEAVE RECORDS
The City will provide each employee on a bi-weekly basis a record of accrued vacation and sick leave, which the employee has earned. Vacation may be accumulated up the amount shown in the chart above. Once an employee has reached the maximum accumulation limit for vacation leave, the employee will cease accruing additional vacation benefits until the employee has used a portion of his or her accrued vacation and reduces his or her balance below the maximum accumulation limit. Thereafter, vacation benefits will again begin to accrue, on a prospective basis only, until the employee again reaches the maximum accumulation limit.

For unrepresented safety employee(s) the vacation schedule in the Fortuna Police Officers Association MOU will be the guiding document.

To participate in this program, the employee must return a form approved by management that is dated and signed. Payment will be made at the regular pay rate as of the date the form is submitted to the Finance Department. Forms must be submitted 1 week prior to desired pay date or they will be processed in the following pay period.

DATE: May 19, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members
FROM: Aaron Felmlee, Finance Director
THROUGH: Amy Nilsen, City Manager
SUBJECT: Approve Amendments to the City of Fortuna Step Policy and the State Disability Insurance/Paid Family Leave Integration of Wages Policy STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Approve amendments to the City’s Step Policy and the State Disability Insurance/Paid Family Leave Integration of Wages Policy.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

City of Fortuna Step Policy:

Due to less compensable pay rates offered by the City, there has been an increase in requests by Department Heads to hire new employees at a higher starting step than 0. To create an efficient process for those requests, amendments were made to the current Step Policy.

The process will now include an Advanced Pay Step for New Hire from (Attachment A), which will be submitted by the Department Head, to the City Manager. The purpose of the form is to document and support the request. The department must provide justification that will be based on individual qualifications, market availability, and the pay of employees currently in the classification.

In addition, staff recommends that eligible employees advance automatically to the next step annually on the anniversary of their date of hire and that automatic step increases shall be accompanied by an annual performance evaluation, which the employee’s immediate supervisor shall be responsible for.

City of Fortuna State Disability Insurance/Paid Family Leave Integration of Wages Policy:

More than 18 million California workers are covered by the California State Disability Insurance (SDI) program. SDI is a partial wage-replacement insurance plan for eligible California workers. City of Fortuna regular full-time employees (1.0 FTE) are automatically enrolled into the SDI program upon hire. The program does not cost the City anything and is paid for through deductions from employees’ wages.

The program covers two main areas. The first is Disability Insurance (DI) which provides short-term wage replacement benefits to eligible workers who have a loss of wages when they are unable to work due to a non-work-related illness, injury, or pregnancy. The second is Paid Family Leave (PFL) which provides benefits to people who need to take time off work to:
• Care for a seriously ill child, parent, parent-in-law, grandparent, grandchild, sibling, spouse, or registered domestic partner
• Bond with a new child entering the family through birth, adoption, or foster care placement.

Consent Item 3q

• Participate in a qualifying event resulting from an eligible family member’s military deployment to a foreign country
In both of these cases the State may provide payments to eligible employee which can necessitate the need to integrate those payments. Integration of SDI or PFL benefits is a process in which an SDI or PFL weekly benefit amount is paid to the employee and the employee is also paid wages using their available accrued leave (sick, comp time, floating holiday, vacation) to cover the difference between gross weekly wages and what is received from SDI/PFL. City of Fortuna employees who are absent from duty due to a qualifying SDI or PFL reason, elect to integrate wages, and have been authorized to use the City paid leave benefit, shall be eligible to integrate wages and could receive up to 100% of their gross weekly wages depending upon the length of leave, accrued leave balance, and SDI or PFL eligibility. The proposed policy defines how this process will work.

RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:

Approve amendments to the City’s Step Policy and the State Disability Insurance/Paid Family Leave Integration of Wages Policy. Consent Agenda vote.

1. PURPOSE
It is the intent of the City to establish a sound and just pay step policy to equitably compensate all employees for duties they perform within their designated classification in a manner that meets expectations for that position. The policy sets forth procedures to ensure like treatment for employees in the classified service.

Increases will be consistent with the pay schedule approved by the City Council and as incorporated into the City’s annual budget.

2. GENERAL POLICY
All City employees are compensated in accordance with the Classification and Pay Schedule adopted prior to each Fiscal Year by City Council Resolution.

A minimum and maximum pay, or range, is established for each position. The pay range shall consist of six (6) steps, zero (0) through five (5) with four percent (4%) increase between each step. The maximum pay level shall be twenty-one and two-thirds percent (21.67%) higher than the minimum pay level.

A newly hired employee shall be placed at step 0 of the pay schedule range established for the position. The City Manager, may, when circumstances warrant it, authorize appointment above the minimum pay level, but not higher than Step 2, except with the concurrence of City Council.

No advancement of pay level shall be made above the maximum pay level established for the position in a particular range.

To hire an employee at a step other than 0 requires approval of the Department Head and City Manager. The Department Head should review the application and provide documentation in the form of a filled out Advanced Pay Step for New Hire from (Appendix A) to support the request, recognizing that approval will be based on individual qualifications, market availability, and the pay of employees currently in the classification.

Step Increases
A full-time employee, hired or promoted to a position at step 0 of the appropriate pay range, upon evaluation and approval by their Supervisor, and City Manager, shall be eligible to advance to step 1, after six months of employment with the City. Moving from step zero 0 to step one 1 will not be paid retroactively. If an employee is not recommended to move from step 0 to step 1 at the six month review the employee will still receive the step increase on their anniversary date.

Thereafter, the employee shall be eligible, to advance automatically to steps 2, 3, 4 and 5 at the end of each consecutive year, upon the employee’s anniversary date. These step increases will be CITY OF FORTUNA Step Policy

paid retroactively to the employee’s anniversary date. Automatic step increases shall be accompanied by an annual performance evaluation and are the responsibility of the employee’s immediate Supervisor.

As a general practice, an employee shall move up one-step each year on their anniversary/promotional date. An exception may be made to this only upon an evaluation being given to the employee prior to the anniversary date in which a step increase has been demonstrated to not be warranted. When a determination has been made that an employee has exhibited professional performance that exceeds expected standards as demonstrated through the evaluation process, the City Manager shall retain the administrative latitude to move an employee up to one additional step (4%) within the range. This is considered an extraordinary step increase and is allowed only once per employee.

Cost of Living Adjustments
When a cost of living adjustment (COLA) is approved by the City Council, the COLA will increase the pay range for those positions awarded the adjustment.

Supplementary Compensation
The City Council may by resolution grant supplementary compensation to employees, including but not limited to contributions toward retirement, health insurance, physical examinations, uniform allowance, incentive pay, education, training, and benefits involving time off with pay.

Overtime Compensation
Overtime-eligible employees are not permitted to work overtime except as the department director authorizes or directs. No employee may work overtime without receiving the approval of the appropriate supervisor prior to performing the work. Working overtime without advance approval is grounds for discipline. Exceptions may be made for emergency situations.

State Disability Insurance/Paid Family Leave
Integration of Wages Policy
Regular Full-time employees, 1.0 Full-time Equivalent (FTE), who pay into State Disability Insurance (“SDI”) may opt to integrate wages with SDI or Paid Family Leave (“PFL”) during a leave of absence.

Integration of SDI or PFL benefits is a process in which an SDI or PFL weekly benefit amount is paid to the employee and the employee is also paid wages using their available accrued leave (sick, comp time, floating holiday, vacation) to cover the difference between gross weekly wages and what is received from SDI/PFL.

City of Fortuna employees who are absent from duty due to a qualifying SDI or PFL reason, elect to integrate wages, and have been authorized to use the City paid leave benefit, shall be eligible to integrate wages and could receive up to 100% of their gross weekly wages depending upon the length of leave, accrued leave balance, and SDI or PFL eligibility.

If an employee qualifies for SDI/PFL benefits, SDI/PFL benefit levels are based on a formula determined by the state Employment Development Department (“EDD”). SDI benefits are payable starting on the 8th calendar day of absence from work, or the first day of hospitalization, whichever comes first. In most circumstances, PFL benefits are payable starting the 1st calendar day of an absence from work for a qualifying reason.

1. PAY OPTIONS: You may select one of the options below for integration of benefits by completing the City of Fortuna Integration of Benefits form (attached) and returning it to Human Resources. An employee desiring to integrate benefits must complete the City of Fortuna Integration of Benefits form at least two (2) weeks prior to a known absence or as soon as possible following an unexpected absence.

Option 1: Integrate paid leave with SDI/PFL benefits (steps to follow). • Complete and submit a City of Fortuna Integration of Benefits form to Personnel. • When applying for SDI/PFL through EDD, check the Integration of Benefits box. • E-mail or bring a copy of the SDI/PFL benefit award letter from EDD indicating payment amounts to Personnel within five (5) working days of receipt.

Until the benefit award letter is provided to Personnel, employees may use their own accrued, unused leave balances during the seven (7) calendar day waiting period. Starting the 8th day of the employee’s leave, the employee may use their accrued/earned, unused leave hoursfor 30% of their gross weekly wages, which will be calculated at the employee’s hourly rate. City will assume a default 70% SDI/PFL rate for initial calculations.

Once the employee’s benefit award letter is submitted to Personnel, the amount of integration will be adjusted according to the benefit amount provided by SDI/PFL. • Once all accrued/earned leave hours have been exhausted, integration of benefits shall cease.
• There is no retroactive integration of benefits. If you receive more paid leave hours than you are eligible for due to a late request for integration or a delay in your claim, you must work with the EDD to return those overpayments. By law, you may not receive more than 100% of your gross salary while integrating benefits.

Option 2: Collect only SDI/PFL benefits, decline to integrate and freeze all leave balances resulting in a leave without pay status. The City of Fortuna Integration of Benefits form must indicate this choice. If there is a delay in returning your form and you receive paid leave hours in addition to SDI/PFL that exceeds 100% of your gross weekly wages, you must work with the State Employment Development Department (EDD) to return those overpayments.

Option 3: Use leave balances until exhausted and do not receive SDI/PFL benefits. This is the default option.

Option 4: Take an unpaid leave of absence. Do not collect SDI/PFL benefits and do not use leave balances. This must be approved by the Department Head and City Manager.

2. It is the responsibility of the employee to file an SDI or PFL claim. The City is not involved in the application/benefit payment process and is not responsible for the benefit amount an employee receives from EDD. Employees integrating benefits with the City must check the box indicating integration of benefits when they complete their SDI application. The role of the City is limited to verifying employment, pay rate, date of absence, and integrating your leaves.

3. Depending upon leaves accrued under the applicable MOU, leave balances that can be used for integration with SDI/PFL are:
1) Sick leave (unlimited use for self; up to 48 hours to care for a sick family member; can’t be used for baby bonding, see Labor Code §246.5(c)(1))
2) Comp Time Off
3) Floating Holiday
4) Administrative Leave
5) Vacation

4. Integration of benefits will continue unless stopped by the employee or when all leave balances are exhausted. When an employee exhausts all available City paid leave balances or opts out of integration, and has exhausted all FMLA/CFRA leave rights, the employee must request an unpaid leave of absence in accordance with applicable MOU rules or the City’s Personnel Rules.

5. The employee’s portion of health, dental, life, vision and voluntary deductions (e.g. additional life insurance) will be deducted from the employee’s paycheck if there are sufficient gross wages available. Employees in an unpaid leave status, or with insufficient gross wages to cover their portion of insurance premiums or voluntary deductions, will be required to work with Personnel to set and adhere to a payment schedule to prevent their benefits from lapsing.

6. Sick leave and vacation shall accrue at the employee’s usual rate during the period the employee receives the integrated leave and SDI/PFL benefits. Accruals will end when the employee exhausts all their own leave balances even if they are still receiving SDI/PFL benefits. Accruals will not continue while in unpaid status or receiving only SDI/PFL.

7. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the City designates paid and/or unpaid leave due to reasons that are eligible under Family and Medical Leave (FMLA) and/or California Family Right Act (CFRA) to run concurrently with, and be counted against, an employee’s FMLA and/or CFRA leave entitlements.

8. This policy shall be interpreted in accordance with applicable Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs) and Personnel Rules. In the event of a conflict, the MOU shall control.

Components of the plant are continuously subjected to harsh and corrosive conditions created by wastewater. Periodically components require significant maintenance, and such is the case for the older of the plant’s two secondary clarifiers. The clarifier has been in operation for approximately 25 years resulting in deterioration of the protective coating on metal surfaces and parts which have become oxidized, see below.

As can be seen, the deterioration is advanced, which makes this a high priority project. Replacement parts are not readily available, and many would require custom fabrication at a cost far greater than restoration. In order to preserve functionality and increase the longevity of the clarifier, the metal components need to be stripped, deoxidized and recoated.

Consent Item 3r

The Wastewater Treatment Plant Secondary Clarifier Recoating Project bid package was released and publicly advertised on April 17th, 2025. The bid period ended on May 14th, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. at which time the City received three responsive bids shown in the table below:

STAFF REPORT
City Council Business Item
DATE: May 19, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Amy Nilsen, City Manager
SUBJECT: Revenue Generation Ad Hoc Committee Update
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

1. Receive the staff report from the Revenue Generation Ad Hoc Committee; and

2. Approve $37,500 to be included in the Fiscal Year (FY) 2025-26 budget for public opinion research to gauge the feasibility of and inform a potential sales tax measure in November 2026 with EMC Research/Team Civ X and authorize the City Manager to execute a professional services agreement for these services.

DISCUSSION:

On April 21st the City Council heard a presentation on the City’s budget outlook and this included:
limited investment in vital services, particularly City wages, a review of wages across local jurisdictions; climbing city-wide turnover percentage; potential revenue generation options; and creation of a Revenue Generation Ad Hoc Committee.

The City Council created the Revenue Generation Ad Hoc Committee comprised of Mayor Johnson, Mayor Pro-Tem Trent, City Manager, Finance Director, and representatives from the Fortuna Police Employees Association, Fortuna Employees Association and Unrepresented employees.

The April 21st staff report contained information on the City’s budget and how limited investment in vital services has impacted wages across the City organization compared with other local cities.

Fortuna’s salaries when compared with Eureka and Arcata were 27% to 25% lower for a Police Officer, 28% to 20% lower for a Police Sergeant, 37% to 30% for a Building Official, 24% to 12% lower for a Utility Worker II, and 18% to 11% lower for a Treatment Plant Operator II. The City of Rio Dell’s salaries are currently within competitive range with Fortuna. Competitive range is around 10 percent.

The April 21st staff report also discussed that recruitment and retention of talented public sector staff remains a critical need and challenge for the City. Vacancies for many positions in the public sector (police, licensed professionals) remain a challenge to fill. In addition to a growing wage gap across the City and its neighboring jurisdictions, the City is also seeing a steady increase in turnover. The City of Fortuna employs approximately one hundred (100) staff. Eighty-one (81) are full-time and nineteen (19) are part-time. Turnover for full-time positions is estimated to reach just slightly over 30% or 25 staff for FY 2024-25. When part-time staff are included in this calculation the City will see 50% turnover in the current fiscal year. Turnover has been increasing over the last several fiscal years.

Business Item 4a

Business Item 4a

General Fund and Reduced City Services
On Wednesday, April 30th the Ad Hoc Committee met to review one of the options presented in the April 21st staff report, “General Fund and Reduced City Services” to determine what percentage and what City services would need to be reduced to invest in vital city services.

If the General Fund were to provide a 20 percent pay increase, to come within the competitive range of other cities, that would include approximately $810,000 in salary and $190,000 in benefit costs for a total of $1,000,000. The City does not currently have a $1,000,000 in available funding to provide this level of investment in vital services. Therefore, a decrease to General Fund services would be needed to make $1,000,000 in funding available. The pie chart below represents one option for General Fund service reductions.

In order to avoid decreasing public safety services, a significant decrease in Parks and Recreation services would be necessary. This includes no recreation programs, selling the River Lodge, no paid museum services, cutting the Parks and Maintenance staff by 50% and reducing the already meager street maintenance budget by $200,000. By reducing the General Fund contribution to these services it would mean the following layoffs:

3.75 Full Time Equivalent (FTE) Recreation Leaders
.58 FTE Recreation Program Coordinator

1.0 FTE Recreation Program Supervisor

1.0 FTE Administrative Assistant II

1.0 FTE River Lodge Conference Center Manager

1.0 FTE Conference Center Coordinator
Business Item 4a

.87 FTE Conference Center Worker (PT)
.58 FTE Museum Curator

3.0 FTE Parks Maintenance Worker

2.5 FTE Street Maintenance Worker

15.28 FTE TOTAL

15.28 FTE would need to be laid off, or 18.9% of the City’s existing workforce. Layoffs to this degree in Parks and Recreation would impact services. There would no longer be evening and weekend skate services, no youth break camps, maintenance of park grounds would be reduced, and reduced availability on weekends to assist with events, more specifically no garbage pickup or restroom cleanup. The remaining staff, the Parks and Recreation Director, which is funded by Measure E, would only have the ability to maintain minimal recreation opportunities such as reserving fields and facilities.

Layoffs to this degree in Street Maintenance would also impact services. The loss of two and a half Street Maintenance Workers would mean severely limited street maintenance services.

The Ad Hoc Committee requested that staff look at another scenario where all departments were asked to cut their budget by 20% in order to support investment in vital services. The below pie chart represents another option for General Fund service reductions.

In this second service reduction scenario, the Police Department would reduce staff by three (3) Police Officers. The loss of three Police Officers would reduce shift coverage, increase officer safety risks, drive up overtime demands, and add to already high workloads, further straining morale and increasing the risk of burnout. In addition, officers would no longer respond to medical aid calls.

Medical aid calls are not a legal requirement of the Police Department and other local police services do not respond to medical aid calls.

Business Item 4a

This second scenario also includes an 83% reduction to recreation programs, no paid museum services, cutting the Parks Maintenance staff by 25% and reducing the already meager street maintenance budget by $100,000. By reducing the General Fund contribution to these services it would mean the following layoffs:

3.0 FTE Police Officers

3.75 FTE Recreation Leaders

0.50 FTE Recreation Program Supervisor

1.0 FTE Administrative Assistant II
.58 FTE Museum Curator

1.5 FTE Parks Maintenance Worker

1.25 FTE Street Maintenance Worker

11.58 FTE TOTAL

11.58 FTE would need to be laid off, or 14.3% of the City’s existing workforce. Other departments are not included in this scenario due to their already limited staffing. Cutting the Finance Department or the Community Development Department would essentially leave them incapacitated and unable to perform their essential functions such as audit requirements and building inspection services.

Investing in vital services by reducing other General Fund Services is not practical for the long-term viability and operation of the City. Therefore, the Ad Hoc Committee is still interested in pursuing a sales tax measure in November 2026, and further discussed options for a general or dedicated sales tax measure.

Sales Tax Measure and Public Opinion Research
One pathway to a November 2026 sales tax measure is through public opinion research. The Ad Hoc discussed potential sales tax measure questions and reviewed proposals from research firms for public opinion research. First, there are several questions to consider whether the City pursues a general tax (50% +1 simple majority) or a special tax (66% majority); sunset date versus no sunset date; does the City address the expiration date of Measure E in 2033 in a second ballot measure; and is the community willing to support investment in vital services.

Public opinion research is pivotal and tests a potential sales tax measure for level of community support, for understanding residents’ attitudes and preferences, informing policy decisions, such as whether to pursue a sales measure and if so, what type, and fostering a more democratic and responsive City. Public opinion research also helps elected officials understand the needs and concerns of their constituents, allowing for more effective governance. Additionally, research on public opinion can reveal shifts in public sentiment over time, influencing how policies are debated and implemented. In essence, public opinion research is a crucial tool for understanding the needs and priorities of the City’s residents, informing policy decisions, and promoting a more democratic and responsive City.

Staff requested proposals from three public opinion research firms and received two proposals from EMC Research/Team Civ X and Godbe Research. Both proposals were reviewed by the Ad Hoc Committee. It is recommended that EMC Research/Team Civ X be selected to conduct Phase I, Polling and Measuring Feasibility. If the polling data shows a ballot measure is feasible, Phase II Feasibility Analysis of Ballot Measure Options at an additional cost if the Council chooses to engage in services further. The total cost for Phase I is $37,500 and it is recommended this cost be included in the FY 2025-26 budget. The funding for this project will come from the General Fund Reserves.

Business Item 4a

FISCAL IMPACT:

The cost for Phase I, Polling and Measuring Feasibility is $37,500 and will be funded through General Fund Reserves in FY 2025-26. This is an investment in determining the viability of a sales tax measure, and without additional revenue in the future, the City will continue to lose the ability to fund infrastructure projects and pay competitive wages. If revenue does not increase soon, the City will need to work toward balancing future budgets by reducing services and staffing. As shown in the staff report, there are several services that would be significantly reduced and/or eliminated.

RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:

1. Receive staff presentation and review Council questions with staff;

2. Receive public comment; and

3. Approve $37,500 to be included in the FY 2025-26 budget for public opinion research to gauge the feasibility of and inform a potential sales tax measure in November 2026 with EMC Research/Team Civ X and authorize the City Manager to execute a professional services agreement for these services.
