INTER-DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM
To:
Lisa L. Kim From: Jany Lee
Dept:
City Manager Dept: Human Resources
Date: 8/25/2026
Subject: Adoption of a Resolution approving an amendment to the Salary Schedule for the addition of the Police Recruit classification and compensation, and other miscellanoues changes. (Action Item)
OBJECTIVE
To obtain City Council approval to establish a single -step salary of $40.99 per hour, place Police Recruit on the City’s full -time salary schedule, make other miscellaneous changes to the Salary Schedule, all effective August 29, 2026, and approve the attached amended salary schedule in accordance with California Code of Regulations, Title 2, Section 570.5 which requires governing bodies of local agencies contracting with CalPERS to approve and adopt a publicly available salary schedule in accordance with public meeting laws.
BACKGROUND
Police Recruit is an entry-level classification where incumbents attend a basic police academy for approximately six months, and, upon successful completion of the academy, become eligible for appointment to a full -time sworn Police Officer position. The Police Recruit classification currently has a five-step salary range with Step A at $30.40 per hour and Step E at $34.80 per hour. Because Police Recruits are typically only in the position while attending the police academy, they generally do not remain in the position long enough to be eligible for advancement beyond Step A.
Over the last two decades, starting pay for Police Recruit has increased from $24.50 in 2006, to $26.10 in 2011, and most recently to $30.40 in 202 4. Even with top step of the current range at $34.80 per hour, rates have not kept pace with inflation nor remained competitive.
If approved, the City’s salary schedule must reflect any changes approved by City Council to remain in compliance with CalPERS regulations.
DISCUSSION
The Police Department currently has 16 sworn Police Officer vacancies. Two recruits are currently enrolled in the academy and are expected to fill two of these vacancies upon 11 Item 353/2026
successful completion of the academy by the end of 202 6, leaving 14 true vacancies. The City’s recruiting efforts are ongoing, however , hiring qualified Police Recruits has become increasingly challenging in recent years, and Garden Grove is competing for candidates within a broader state and national recruit ment environment. Many agencies, including Garden Grove, are experiencing declining applicant numbers while also managing retirements and other departures, contributing to persistent staffing pressures.
A salary survey conducted by Human Resources compared Police Recruit salaries among two groups: the City’s ten comparator agencies, and 18 law enforcement agencies throughout Orange County. The results place Garden Grove at the very bottom of the market with the lowest rate of all ten comparator agencies and the second-lowest rate among all 18 agencies surveyed. At approximately 15% below the survey median, Garden Grove’s current rate creates a significant competitive disadvantage in attracting qualified Police Recruit candidates.
To improve the City’s competitiveness, staff recommends establishing a single salary step for Police Recruit at $40.99 per hour in Range O606. This represents an approximately 18% increase over the current top step of the range and places the City at the survey median. The proposed rate also maintains an appropriate differential of approximately 15% below the entry-level Police Officer rate. Additionally, placing Police Recruit on the full -time salary schedule will allow staff to regularly evaluate the rate for market competitivene ss and maintain an appropriate salary structure.
The proposed changes would establish a clearer and more competitive salary structure for Police Recruits and other classifications , therefore improving the City's ability to attract qualified candidates and support the timely filling of vacancies and staff retention . This alleviates staffing pressures and overtime demands, and helps maintain consistent service delivery.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The proposed salary adjustment for Police Recruit would result in a cost increase of approximately $17,072 per position, comprised of $11,013 in salary and $6,057 in related fringe costs. The City has two Police Recruits currently enrolled in the academy, with the possibility of filling up to three positions toward the end of 2026. Existing appropriations and savings from vacant Police Officer positions are sufficient to absorb these costs; therefore, no additional General Fund appropriation is requested.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council:
Approve a single -step salary of $40.99 per hour for the Police Recruit classification, place the classification on the City’s full -time Salary Schedule, and other miscellaneous changes to the Salary Schedule; and 12 Item 353/2026
Adopt the attached Resolution that amends the Salary Schedule of the City of Garden Grove adding the Police Recruit classification , effective August 29, 2026.

1 GARDEN GROVE SANITARY DISTRICT
DESIGN CRITERIA FOR SEWER FACILITIES
1. STANDARD REQUIREMENTS
The design and construction of all sanitary sewer system facilities to be operated and maintained by the Garden Grove Sanitary District (GGSD or District) shall be in accordance with these Design Criteria, and the latest edition of the following:
The Garden Grove Sanitary District Standard Plans, latest edition (GG SDSP) The City of Garden Grove Public Works Department Standard Plans, latest edition (GGPWSP)
Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction (Greenbook) , Garden Grove Sanitary District’s Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP) , Statewide General Waste Discharge Requirements issued by the State Water Resources Control Board (Order No. 2006-0003)
Requirements of the jurisdictional agencies where the work shall be performed Cal-OSHA requirements
2. CALCULATIONS REQUIRED
Substantiating engineering calculations for design flows; pipe size; pump, motor, generator, wet well size and appurtenant equipment selection; structural design, and bedding/backfill designs shall accompany plan submittals to the District. All calculations shall be sealed and signed by a California registered professional engineer.
Where flow from a new development or redevelopment is added to an existing sewer, and where the new development or redevelopment is in an area of questionable sewer capacity, the existing sewer shall be flow monitored by a qualified company acceptable to GGSD at the owner’s cost for a minimum period of two weeks to verify the existing minimum, average, and peak dry weather flows. Two copies of the report shall be submitted to GGSD in the District’s required format. The District will determine the adequacy of capacity in all the facilities that will convey the subject flow.
3. SIZE
Gravity Sewers
The minimum size for a gravity sewer shall be 8-inches in diameter. The Garden Grove Sanitary District may accept 6-inch diameter sewer lines if necessary to provide adequate velocity. Sewer pipes shall not be constructed in a common trench with another utility.
Adequate horizontal and vertical clearance shall be maintained in accordance with the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) - Title 22, Division 4, Chapter 16, Section 64572), as summarized on GGPWSP B-760, B-761, B-762, and B-763.
Force Mains
The size of sewer force mains shall be determined during the design phase of the project based upon a comparative study of the construction cost and pumping costs for several alternative sizes. In no case shall a force main be less than 4 inches in diameter. The capacity of the force main shall be the design peak flow from the pump station. The minimum design velocity for a force main shall be 3.0 fps, and maximum allowed 5.0 fps. 332
2 GARDEN GROVE SANITARY DISTRICT
DESIGN CRITERIA FOR SEWER FACILITIES
The discharge shall be into a manhole with a smooth flow transition to a gravity sewer. Th e force main terminal manhole shall be PVC lined.
All force mains shall have a tape attached to the pipe, identifying it as a sewer pipe.
4. MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM SLOPE
All sewers shall be designed and constructed to provide a mean velocity of not less than two (2) feet per second (fps) when flowing at the estimated average dry weather flow (ADWF) as calculated using Manning’s formula with an “n” value of 0.013, and no less than (3) feet per second (fps) when flowing at peak dry weather flow ( PDWF). Subject to the velocity limitations contained in this subsection, the slope shall be the maximum possible. Drop manholes shall not be used to reduce slopes to the minimum allowed.
The maximum allowable slope shall be the slope which generates a maximum flow velocity of 6 fps at the peak dry weather flow rate (PDWF) in vitrified clay pipe (VCP), and 5 fps in polyvinyl chloride pipe (PVC) as calculated using Manning’s equation with an “n” value of
0.013.
The minimum slope on 6-inch sewer shall be 1% where the tributary area consists of less than 20 dwelling units (d.u.) or its flow equivalent.
Sewer pipes shall have a constant slope between the upstream and downstream manhole of each reach. Any reach of sewer containing sags of any amount shall be removed and reconstructed at the design slope at no cost to the Garden Grove Sanitary District. The total cost of inspection, administration, and retesting of improperly installed sewers shall be borne by the contractor. The Garden Grove Sanitary District shall not accept any sewer that does not meet these requirements. There shall be no exception to the proper slope requirement.
5. DESIGN FLOW CRITERIA
The average dry weather flow ( ADWF) rates for sewers shall be calculated using the unit flow factors contained in Table 1 and the tributary land uses. Where appropriate, and when required by the Garden Grove Sanitary District , the unit flow factors shall be evaluated by the design engineer based upon the specific land uses and densities proposed for new development or redevelopment.
333

DESIGN CRITERIA FOR SEWER FACILITIES
Table 1
Sewer Unit Flow Factors
The peak dry weather flow ( PDWF) in million gallons per day (mgd) shall be determined from ADWF in mgd based upon the following equation:
PDWF = a x ADWF b
Coefficients a and b shall be based upon a minimum of two weeks of flow monitoring where the tributary flow from a new development or redevelopment is added to an existing sewer.
Where such information is not available, the following equation shall be used to determine the peak dry weather flow:
PDWF = 1.70 x ADWF 0.92 + base infiltration when base infiltration is known and/or included
PDWF = 1.85 x ADWF 0.92 when base infiltration is
unknown and/or excluded
The determination of the peak dry weather flow shall also consider other factors such as pumped flows and large sewer flow generators.
334
4 GARDEN GROVE SANITARY DISTRICT
DESIGN CRITERIA FOR SEWER FACILITIES
The peak wet weather flow ( PWWF) shall be based upon recorded historical information where available and applicable. Otherwise, the peak wet weather flow shall be calculated utilizing the following formula:
PWWF = (1.60 x 1.70 x ADWF 0.92) + base infiltration
= 2.72 x ADWF 0.92 + base infiltration
when base infiltration is
known and/or included
PWWF = (1.60 x 1.85 x ADWF 0.92) + base infiltration
= 2.96 x ADWF 0.92 + base infiltration
when base infiltration is
unknown and/or excluded
The peak dry weather flow rate in pipes 15-inches and smaller will be limited by the calculated depth to pipe diameter ratio of d/D = 0.5; and 18-inches and larger d/D = 0.62.
The pipe shall flow at a calculated depth to pipe diameter ratio of no more than 0.82 with the peak wet weather flow.
6. STANDARD LOCATION AND ALIGNMENT
In local residential and industrial streets, sewer pipes shall be located six (6) feet from the centerline of the street in the center of the driving lane. In major, primary, and secondary highways, the sewer pipes shall be located in the center of the driving lane nearest to the center of the street, but will not be located in the median strip or parking lanes. Any deviation from the standard location and alignment shall only be done with prior written approval of GGSD.
All-weather access roads capable of accommodating all required construction and maintenance equipment shall be provided for all sewers not located within a paved street.
In curved streets, gravity sewer mains shall be constructed in straight reaches between manholes. In no case shall the outside of the sewer main be closer than four feet to the closest curb face.
A maximum horizontal separation between sewer and domestic water mains shall be achieved by aligning the sewer on the opposite side of the street centerline from the domestic water main.

The control system shall consist of the wet well level control, flow metering equipment, pressure gages and switches, fire alarms and gas detection instruments.
A. Pump Control System
1. General
The pump control panel (PCP) provides manual or automatic control of the pumps, as well as visual indication of the pump station status and alarm conditions. The following status and alarm indicators are to be provided as a minimum:
Status
Power ON Light
Running Time Meter
Pump RUN
HAND-OFF-AUTO selector switch
Lights Test Pushbutton
Seal Test Pushbutton (for submersible pumps)
Flow Rate Indicator
Wet Well Level Indicator
Alarms
Wet Well HIGH LEVEL Alarm Light (from
Ultrasonic)
Wet Well High High Level Alarm Light
Pump FAIL Alarm Light
Motor winding HIGH TEMP Alarm Light
Seal FAIL Alarm Light (for submersible
pumps)
FAIL RESET pushbutton
Discharge Pressure Indicators
The pump(s) may be controlled either manually, or automatically, depending upon the position of the pump hand-off-auto selector switch. In the MANUAL mode, a pump is started by placing its hand-off-auto selector switch in the HAND position. In this mode, the pump will run continuously unless shut down by the “fail” interlocks.
In the AUTO mode, the pump is started and stopped by the wet well level, as measured by an ultrasonic level sensor. In the “Auto” mode, the pump will run until called to stop by wet well level, unless shut down by the “fail” interlocks.
In the AUTO mode, the pumps will alternate operation automatically after each pump down cycle. If the operating pump should fail, the next pump in the call sequence will start and operate each time the wet well level calls for a pump operation until the failed condition is cleared.
The pump controller shall be a programmable logic controller (PLC) , which provides operational set points, high level alarm, outputs to start and stop the pumps, and perform pump alternation. The controller shall be Allen Bradley Powerflex, latest version as selected by GGSD.
Back-up float switch shall be installed in the wet well to provide an emergency high level alarm and a back up pump control system for the 361
31 GARDEN GROVE SANITARY DISTRICT
DESIGN CRITERIA FOR SEWER FACILITIES
station. The emergency high level is to be indicated on the pump control panel and through the dialer. In this condition, the pump will operate for an adjustable time (0-5 minutes after emergency high level initiation), as set by the operator, and then will shut down. If the wet well level again rises to the emergency high level, the cycle will be repeated. The station can run indefinitely in this mode if necessary.
A “pump fail” alarm (for each pump) will be indicated at the pump control panel and transmitted to the automatic dialer system should any of the following conditions occur:
Pump motor winding high temperature detected by sensors in the motor winding.
Motor overload detected by the overload relay.
Each of the above “fail” conditions will lock-out the pump from operation. To reset a pump, the operator must visit the station, determine the cause of failure, correct the condition, and depress the “fail reset” pushbutton on the pump control panel.
For submersible pumps, a motor seal failure will also be detected and alarmed but will not stop pump operation.
2. Constant Speed Pump Control System
The operating sequence is applicable for multiple pump units installed in a smaller wet well. The pump station will start in sequence, pumps start and stop in the reverse order.
This sequence is recommended for the following reasons:
a. To maintain uniform flow into the receiving system
b. To provide smaller wet well storage volume and less number of motor starts per hour;
c. To reduce sewer gas emission to the atmosphere by maintaining a constant water level in the wet well.
3. Variable Speed Drives.
Variable speed (matched-flow) pumps shall be used for the following conditions;
a. Where more uniform discharge to the receiving system is required;
b. Where there is not enough space in the pump station to accommodate installation of multiple smaller unit constant speed pumps;
362
32 GARDEN GROVE SANITARY DISTRICT
DESIGN CRITERIA FOR SEWER FACILITIES
c. Where the wet well volume is limited to satisfy maximum starts per hour;
d. Where sewer gas emissions to the atmosphere should be limited;
The variable speed drive pumps shall be controlled as follows:
a. When the wet well level reaches the first set level, the lead pump will start and ramp to a minimum preset speed. As the flow increases, the pump speed will increase in proportion to the increase in flow in order to maintain the level in the wet well until the pump has reached its maximum speed.
b. When the inflow to t he wet well exceeds the maximum capacity of the lead pump, the control system will then start the lag pump. The lag pump will increase its speed while the lead pump will decrease its speed up to the point where the two pumps share the flow, both at the same speed. As the inflow increases, the two pumps will increase their speeds in proportion to the inflow until the pumps have reached the maximum pump design flow, in the case of two pump
combination.
c
. A drop in wet well level equivalent to a decrease in pump station inflow will signal the pumps to slow down until a preset speed is reached. Then the lag pump will stop, and the lead pump will increase its speed in proportion to the inflow.
d. Further drop in wet well level will signal the lead pump to slow down until the minimum level is reached, at which level, the lead pump will stop.
e. In the event that either the lead pump or the lag pump fails, the wet well level will rise and the standby pump will be started at the same time the failure alarm is activated. The standby pump will be provided with a variable speed drive.
For pump stations equipped with more than two variable speed pumps, the same operating sequence will be followed.
Under no conditions will a force main velocity of less than 3 feet per second shall be allowed.
The variable speed drives shall be provided with bypass contactors to operate the pump at full speed when the VFD is not available.
4. Float Level Switch
The float level switches shall be used to detect the low-low level cut-off and the high-high water level alarm, and as an auxiliary system in the event of 363

CCTV inspection shall be recorded on DVD, and recording procedures shall conform to the requirements of Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction Section 500-1.1.5, Television Inspection, except that the maximum speed shall be 15 feet per minute. The recording shall continuously display the following on-screen data: contract number, project name, date, time, distance (in feet) from the insertion manhole, and manhole identification codes.
Two copies of the recording shall be submitted to the District for approval within two days of the CCTV inspection. CCTV recording shall be performed first with the pipe dry, and then immediately following clean water flowing in the pipe to clearly indicate vertical misalignments, sags or other defects. Should CCTV inspection indicate any faulty installation of the pipe, repairs or replacement shall be made at the Contractor’s expense by a method approved by the District. repaired and or replaced pipe and/or segments shall be retested and reinspected through CCTV at no additional cost to the District, until final acceptance is granted. Any sag greater than 0.25 inch in 100 feet of pipe reach shall be considered excessive, and the pipe shall be removed and reinstalled to proper grade.

18.02 Gravity Pipe Leakage Tests
All gravity sewer pipes and service laterals shall be tested for exfiltration and/or infiltration and deflection. All leakage tests shall be in conformance with Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction (SSPWC), “GREENBOOK" Section 306-1.4.1. Water exfiltration test shall be in conformance with SSPWC Section 306-1-4.2. Air pressure test shall be in conformance with SSPWC 306-1.4.4. All testing shall be performed in the presence of the District Inspector.
18.03 Manhole Leakage Tests
1. Leakage tests shall be made and observed by the District Inspector on each manhole. The test shall be the exfiltration test made as described below:
2. After the manhole has been assembled in place, all lifting holes and those exterior joints within 6 feet of the ground surface shall be filled and pointed with an approved non-shrinking mortar and the lining joints completed. The test shall be made prior to placing the shelf and invert. If the groundwater table has been allowed to rise above the bottom of the manhole, it shall be lowered for the duration of the test. All pipes and other openings into the manhole shall be suitably plugged and the plugs braced to prevent blow out.
3. The manhole shall then be filled with water to the top of the cone section. If the excavation has not been backfilled and observation indicates no visible leakage, that is, no water visibly moving down the surface of the manhole, the manhole may be considered to be satisfactorily water-tight. If the test, as described above is unsatisfactory as determined by the District Inspector, or if the manhole excavation has been backfilled, the test shall be continued. A period of time may be permitted if the Contractor so wishes, to allow for absorption. At the end of this period, the manhole shall be refilled at the top of the cone, if necessary and the measuring time of at least 8 hours begun. At the end of the test period, the manhole shall be refilled to the top of the cone, measuring the volume of water added. This amount shall be extrapolated to a 24-hour rate and the leakage determined on the basis of depth.
The leakage for each manhole shall not exceed 1 gallon per vertical foot for a 24- hour period. If the manhole fails this requirement, but the leakage does not exceed 3 gallons per vertical foot per day, repairs by approved methods may be made as directed by the District to bring the leakage within the allowable rate of 1 gallon per foot per day. Leakage due to a defective section or joint or exceeding the 3 gallon per vertical foot per day shall be the cause for the rejection of the manhole. It shall be the Contractor’s responsibility to uncover the manhole as necessary and to disassemble, reconstruct or replace it as directed by the District Engineer. The manhole shall then be retested and, if satisfactory, interior joints shall be filled and pointed.
4. No adjustment in the leakage allowance will be made for unknown causes such as leaking plugs, absorptions, etc., i.e., it will be assumed that all loss of water during the test is a result of leaks through the joints or through the concrete. Furthermore, the Contractor shall take all steps necessary to assure the District Inspector that the water table is below the bottom of the manhole throughout the test. 369

5. If the groundwater table is above the highest joint in the manhole, and if there is no leakage into the manhole as determined by the Engineer, such a test can be used to evaluate the water-tightness of the manhole. However, if the District Engineer is not satisfied, the Contractor shall lower the water table and carry out the test as described herein before.
18.04 Pipe Slope
All gravity sewer pipe shall be laid to the line and grade shown on the plans and per Section 306.1.2 of “GREENBOOK,” with a maximum allowable tolerance of 0.125 inch at the invert.
The Contractor shall continuously check the grade of the pipe being installed through the use of laser line.
19. STANDARD SEWER NOTES
The following notes must appear on the plans under Standard Sewer Notes.
A. The sewer Contractor shall have a copy of the Project Plans and Specifications, as well as the Garden Grove Sanitary District Design Criteria for Sewer Facilities on the job site.
B. The Contractor shall obtain a City and/or County permit for work done on public right-of-way.
C. The Garden Grove Sanitary District Office shall be called for inspection five (5 ) working days before start of work at (714) 741-5566.
D. A pre-construction conference shall be held 48 hours before starting construction work.
E. The Contractor shall expose all join points to the existing sewer system for verification of location and elevation before construction.
F. Stations shown as 1+00.00 are sewer stations and are independent of all other stations.
G. All laterals shall be staked by a surveyor before trenching and a complete set of cut sheets shall be supplied to the Contractor and the District Inspector.
H. The District will inspect and test the sewer collection system and lateral sewers to the property clean-out. Privately owned sewer laterals from the property line clean- out will be inspected and tested by an approved contractor subject to the City of Garden Grove Building Department approval.
J
. All sewer lines shall be balled in the presence of the District Inspector before completion of all leakage tests.
K. Pipeline leakage tests shall be made in the presence of the District Inspector, only after backfill has been completed, compaction tests on backfill have been made, and the backfill has been accepted by the District Inspector. 370

Date: 8/25/2026
Subject: Approval of a Lease Agreement between the City of Garden Grove and Orange County Association for Mental Health for the office space located at 11277 Garden Grove Boulevard. (Action Item)
OBJECTIVE
For City Council to approve the Lease Agreement between the City of Garden Grove and the Orange County Association for Mental Health (“Tenant”) for office space located at 11277 Garden Grove Boulevard (“Property”).
BACKGROUND
Following City Council approval in July 2022, the City acquired the Property, a two-story office building with 31,139 rentable square feet. At the time of acquisition, there was an existing lease agreement between JK Investment Group LLC (“Previous Owner”) and the Tenant for Suite 101A of the Property. Pursuant to the Commercial Purchase Agreement, the Previous Owner transferred the Tenant's lease and security deposit to the City, and the City assumed the rights and responsibilities of the landlord under the existing lease.
The lease was originally executed for a five-year term commencing January 1, 2022, with an initial monthly rent of $11,780.00 and annual rent increases of three (3) percent. The current monthly rent is $13,258.49 with the lease scheduled to expire on December 31, 2026.
DISCUSSION
In June 2026, the Tenant requested an extension of its lease and proposed a July 1 through June 30 lease term to align with its fiscal year. Because this lease term also corresponds with the City's fiscal year, the City agreed to the revised term and established a new July 1, 2026 rental rate that reflected the scheduled 3% rent increase that would have otherwise taken effect on January 1, 2027.
Below are key terms of the lease negotiated between the City and the Tenant:
