REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL

AGENDA ITEM
Report: Verdugo Fire Communications Center - 911 Dispatch Software Expansion

COUNCIL ACTION
Item Type: Consent Calendar
Approved for December 17, 2024 calendar

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Verdugo Fire Communications Center (VFCC) utilizes computer-aided dispatch (CAD) system to receive and dispatch emergency calls for 14 agencies. The implementation of CentralSquare CAD to VFCC, expanding from its current use at the Glendale Police Department, will help accomplish the Information Technology’s goal of application standardization and provide a single 911 Dispatch CAD System for both Police and Verdugo Fire, resulting in better management under a single more configurable system. With the completion of this expansion, we will be able to achieve the advanced feature of CAD to CAD, which will also increase communication, collaboration and further improve response times between Glendale’s Police and Fire communications centers.

RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council approve a Motion authorizing the City Manager to amend an existing professional services agreement between the City of Glendale and CentralSquare Technologies, LLC., (contract #8000743) in the amount not to exceed of $394,890 with a contingency of $56,754, for expansion of Verdugo Fire Communications Center Computer-Aided Dispatch system.

ANALYSIS
The Verdugo Fire Communications Center (VFCC) current Computer-Aided Dispatch (CAD) system was purchased in 2017. In alignment with the Information Technology (IT) Department’s effort to standardize applications across the city and with CAD technology developing beyond the configurability of the present system, it was determined that the expansion of the CAD system with Glendale Police Department’s (GPD’s) CAD, CentralSquare, and expansion of their system to VFCC will accomplish this goal.

Receiving and dispatching 911 calls for fourteen agencies, VFCC relies on a robust CAD system that processes dispatcher entry, call location, vehicle location and statuses, and recommends the fastest, most appropriate units to respond within seconds. The CentralSquare system is easily configurable to allow Verdugo personnel to update the coverage area to account for changes in residential development, increased population/call load, automatic and mutual aid agreements. Additionally, the system is flexible enough to accommodate configuration needs for the 14 different agencies that Verdugo services as well as, the on-boarding of new contract agencies into the system.

With the current CAD system, calls that need to be transferred from GPD or neighboring cities is done manually, which is time consuming. By completing this expansion of CentralSquare CAD to VFCC, we will be able to implement the CAD-to-CAD communication feature, which will automatically transfer the call to partner dispatch centers eliminating the manual process and speeding up 911 response times. The surrounding dispatch centers which would be able to do the CAD-to-CAD automation with VFCC are Long Beach Fire Department, San Bernardino Fire Department, Ventura County Fire Department and Orange County Fire Authority, which all utilize CentralSquare.

By utilizing GPD’s existing contract with CentralSquare, VFCC can avoid the need for a separate CAD system, which reduces long-term maintenance expenses. Leveraging GPD’s existing computer hardware, already configured for dispatch, will allow for faster system buildout, and eliminate redundant infrastructure expenses. A single system managed by the IT team will simplify administration. VFCC can rely on the already established IT infrastructure and technical support. Additionally, the new CAD system will update existing interfaces to other Fire Department reporting systems automatically, rather than traditional file transfers, ensuring real-time data exchange. The new CAD system will allow for future integration with artificial intelligence tools designed to assist emergency call processing and decision-making by providing assessment and improved insights directly into the CAD workflow. The new CAD will leverage AI and will improve the speed, accuracy, and efficiency of medical emergency call handling, ultimately enhancing patient care during critical moments. In summary, standardizing GPD’s existing CAD system, VFCC can not only reduce operational costs but also improve the efficiency of its emergency response operations through automation, data sharing and better coordination.

In addition to the expansion of the City’s public safety CAD system, VFCC plans to adopt First Due’s Mobile Responder Application, which will integrate with the CentralSquare CAD system and for the first time, provide instant access to incident information and location pre-plans developed by the 14 Verdugo agencies. We will also bring on GeoComm Inc., a Public Safety GIS consulting firm, that will assist in updating and preparing the City’s address and street database. This in turn will provide Verdugo Fire, and its 14 agencies, the most update and accurate street data for emergency dispatching will resulting in quicker response times. Lastly, we will be amending the Cit Com, Inc., agreement, a Public Safety CAD Project Management firm with over twenty years of experience, who successfully implemented the Glendale Police CAD system, to assist in the implementation of the expansion of the Verdugo CAD system.

The total cost of the CAD expansion project is $799,033 and is comprised of the following elements:

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL

AGENDA ITEM
Report: Award of Contract to Ancon Marine DBA Ancon Services to Furnish Materials and Labor for Vault Dewatering, Hazardous Waste Disposal and Emergency Response Clean-Up for Glendale Water & Power (GWP).

The cost for year one of the renewal including 3% escalation is $88,595 plus a 10% percent contingency in the amount of $8,860. The cost for the second year renewal including 3% escalation is $91,254 plus a 10% contingency in the amount of $9,125.

COUNCIL ACTION
Item Type: Consent Items
Approved for December 17, 2024 calendar

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In providing reliable operation and maintenance services, Glendale Water & Power (GWP) is occasionally faced with challenges that prevent the continuous service to the public. Intermittently an overhead transformer explodes that requires immediate clean- up and/or an equipment failure in the underground vault requires repair to restore power to the immediate vicinity. But, to conduct these repairs, the vault must first be cleaned and dewatered for GWP staff to safely perform their job. Furthermore, the oily water cannot be discharged to the street as GWP needs to comply with the federal and state environmental regulations. As such, GWP needs a contractor that can dewater and clean these vaults as soon as possible for GWP staff to repair the defective equipment and restore power immediately to the customers. The clean-up and emergency response usually generates hazardous waste that should be disposed properly by a certified contractor.

GWP needs a company that can furnish Vault Dewatering, Hazardous Waste Disposal and Emergency Response Clean-Up services to allow GWP staff to conduct repair and maintenance and restore power and water services as soon as possible to the residents and businesses in Glendale following interruption of service. 24 of 532

RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the City Manager to enter into a three-year contract, with two one-year extensions, with Ancon Marine DBA Ancon Services to furnish materials and labor for vault dewatering, hazardous waste disposal and emergency response clean-up for GWP in the amount of $86,015 per year plus a 10% contingency of $8,602 per year, for a total not-to-exceed amount of $283,851. The costs for years four and five will total $197,834 inclusive of a 3% escalation and 10% contingency, for a total not-exceed of $481,685 for the five-year contract term should the City exercise its renewal option.

ANALYSIS
GWP provides reliable power and water services to the residents and businesses in Glendale. In conducting these services, GWP is faced daily with operational, maintenance and construction and regulatory challenges that prevent the continuous service to the public. Occasionally, an overhead transformer explodes and spills oil into resident’s pool or garden, a pipeline breaks and discharges polluted water into the street, or an equipment fails inside an electric vault that is full of water. Additionally, a chemical spill at the Power Plant may require immediate clean-up to protect the public and the nearby river. To conduct some repairs, for example inside the vault, it must first be cleaned and dewatered for GWP staff to safely conduct the repairs. Additionally, the oily water cannot be discharged to the street, as GWP needs to comply with the federal and state discharge regulations. As such, GWP needs a contractor that can provide support services such as vault dewatering, hazardous waste disposal and emergency response clean-up for GWP restore operation. The exact cost for each service varies depending on the location of the work, the size of the vaults, the amount and type of waste generated, and the final disposal location.

Vault Dewatering - Underground vaults accumulate water from rain, from yard cleaning or from residents’ lawn irrigation. An equipment failure in the vault requires cleaning and dewatering these vaults as soon as possible for GWP staff to safely repair the defective equipment and restore power immediately to the customers. At times, the water cannot be discharged to the street, as GWP electric must comply with the water discharge requirements. Additionally, the vault dewatering clean-up and emergency response may generate hazardous waste requiring timely and proper disposal as mandated by the federal and state environmental laws.

Hazardous Waste Disposal - Aside from the waste generated from the emergency clean-up, the GWP water and power O & M and construction activities generate and accumulate hazardous waste in their work areas. The generated waste must be stored, managed and disposed properly and timely. GWP relies on contractors who can transport the waste to certified disposal in-state or out-of-state facilities for appropriate treatment and disposal.

Emergency Response Clean-Up - In some instances GWP operations may generate spills in their work areas that require immediate clean-up due to proximity to a storm drain or water resources that can pose potential risk to the public and the environment.

At times, the spill is large and is beyond GWP staff capacity to clean-up. For example, 25 of 532

34c
5 6

a damaged transformer may cause its contents to spray into the resident’s swimming pool or vegetable garden requiring immediate clean-up to avoid health risk to the residents in the area. Similarly, a large spill that may occur in the power plant area and may potentially discharge to the river, requires immediate response clean-up to prevent the discharge to the river, avoiding costly environmental and public risk.

GWP needs a certified contractor who can provide a reliable clean-up service to reduce risk to the public and the environment.

GWP posted Specification 3982R on September 11, 2024, on the Glendale Post and at the City’s website under Glendale RFQs. A mandatory pre-bid meeting was held on September 25, 2024, with six potential bidders attending. The bid opened on October 16, 2024, where three qualifying bids were opened, with Ancon Marine DBA Ancon Services being the lowest bidder.

The bid breakdown of the three bidders is as follows:

The City hereby acknowledges receipt of the Trust Agreement governing the Trust and will follow the Trust Office’s guidelines for reporting and depositing the required contributions set forth herein.

7. Reporting to the Trust Office. The City shall electronically submit to the Trust Office a report of contributing employees for each contribution sent to the Trust, in the format requested by the Trust, and received by the Trust Office within five (5) days of receipt of the contribution funds.

The City shall also provide an initial report of identifying information (i.e., name, address, date of hire, DOB, SSN, etc.) for all contributing employees, as reasonably requested by the Trust; and shall send updates to this information to the Trust Office whenever the City has notice of changes to the information.

8. Limitations. The City is not a party to the Trust and shall not incur or be liable for any fees associated with the Trust. The City will only administer and report contributions toward a qualifying employee benefit plan under the Internal Revenue Code. The City may cease payroll deductions toward the Trust if the City incurs a fee, anticipates incurring a fee, or believes the payroll deductions will expose the City to legal claims or liabilities; provided however, that the City shall provide advance notice to the Association of its intent to cease contributions and allow the Association a reasonable opportunity to discuss and/or absorb any costs to the City. Responsibility for the maintenance and investment of the Trust funds rests solely with the Trust’s Board of Trustees. 51 of 532

The Trustees shall establish the conditions for the payment of compensation (if any) and for the reimbursement of expenses.

13. Benefits to Trustees Not Prohibited
Nothing in this Trust Agreement shall prohibit a Trustee from receiving any benefits under the terms of a benefit plan, if he is otherwise eligible for the same as a participating employee or as a beneficiary of a participating employee.

ARTICLE V

PARTICIPATION

1. Bargaining Units Entitled to Participate
The following labor organizations (or their successors), and the employees in the bargaining units represented by such labor organizations, shall be allowed to participate in the Trust Fund:

Fire Fighter Locals that are members of the
International Association of Fire Fighters

2. Other Bargaining Units
The Trustees shall have the authority to permit labor organizations (other than those specified above), and the employees in a bargaining unit covered by a collective bargaining agreement, to participate in the Trust Fund.

The participation of such bargaining units shall be entirely discretionary with the Trustees and shall be subject to whatever terms and conditions they may impose.

The Trustees have the authority to decline or terminate the participation of a particular bargaining unit if (a) the labor organization and the employer fail to provide the Trustees with a copy of their collective bargaining agreement; (b) the language of the contribution provisions in the collective bargaining agreement does not meet the requirements established by the Trustees (if any); (c) the labor organization fails to submit a subscription agreement binding it to this Trust Agreement, if required; (d) the negotiated contribution rate is lesser, or greater, than the - 9 -

Trust Agreement Governing the Washington State
Council of Firefighters Employee Benefit Trust
contribution rate supporting a particular benefit plan then being administered by the Trustees, provided that the Trustees, in their discretion, may accept the different contribution rate and establish different eligibility rules or benefit formulas for the employees affected; or (e) there exist other facts and circumstances that, in the Trustees’ discretion, justify a declination or termination of participation.

3. Non-Bargaining Unit Employees of Participating Employers The Trustees shall have the authority to enter into subscription agreements directly with participating employers, who are contributing for their bargaining unit employees, by the terms of which such an employer agrees to make contributions to the Trust Fund so that the non- bargaining unit employees of the employer can be covered by the benefit plans provided through the Trust Fund.

The acceptance of such subscription agreements shall be entirely discretionary with the Trustees and shall be subject to applicable law and whatever terms and conditions they may impose.

4. Unauthorized Participation
The only individuals who shall be entitled to participate in and receive benefits from the Trust Fund shall be those employees who are within the bargaining units described in Sections 1 and 2 or who are within the group described in Section 3 above. It is expected that participating employers will submit contributions only on behalf of such employees. The receipt by the Trust Fund of contributions which may be submitted on behalf of individuals who are not eligible to participate shall not estop the Trustees from declining or terminating the participation of such individuals nor shall it constitute a waiver of any of the provisions of this Article or of the benefit plans.

ARTICLE VI

COUNCIL ACTION
Item Type: Consent Item
Approved for December 17, 2024 calendar

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Glendale Police Department requests acceptance of $16,089 in grant funds from the BJA FY204 JAG Grant Program for the grant period of October 1, 2023, to September 30, 2025 for Internet Crimes Against Children case overtime. 92 of 532

RECOMMENDATION
Approve the motion to authorize participation in the BJA FY2024 JAG Grant Program and accept funds in the amount of $16,089 and adopt the attached resolution of appropriation.

ANALYSIS
The Glendale Police Department (GPD) has identified the need for additional resources to address Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC). The $16,089 in grant funds awarded through the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Program will enhance the department’s capacity to investigate and prosecute offenders involved in these crimes.

The funding will be used exclusively for detective overtime in the ICAC unit. This investment will enable GPD to expand its reach in combating online exploitation by dedicating additional hours to these complex and time-sensitive investigations. These efforts align with statutory goals to protect vulnerable populations and uphold community safety by addressing cybercrimes that target children.

Without this grant, the department would face challenges in allocating sufficient resources to ICAC cases, potentially delaying investigations and limiting the number of offenders apprehended. Acceptance of this funding ensures that the department can prioritize these critical cases without impacting the general fund or requiring budget reallocations.

Additionally, this use of federal funding underscores Glendale’s commitment to leveraging external resources to enhance public safety and protect its most vulnerable residents.

STAKEHOLDERS/OUTREACH
The primary stakeholders impacted by this grant include:
•Glendale Police Department (GPD): The grant directly supports the ICAC unit by providing overtime funding, enabling the department to address a higher volume of online exploitation cases.
•Residents of Glendale: The community benefits from enhanced safety measures and a stronger law enforcement response to crimes targeting children. •Vulnerable Populations (Children): The targeted nature of this grant prioritizes the protection of children from exploitation and abuse.

Outreach Methods:
•Information will also be shared with community groups, particularly those focused on child welfare, to demonstrate the city’s commitment to public safety and crime prevention.

By keeping the community informed, the City of Glendale ensures accountability and fosters trust in its efforts to enhance public safety.

Report: Amendment Five for FY 2024-2025 Los Angeles County Aging and Disabilities (AD) Unit Rate Increase for the Supportive Services Program (SSP).

1.Motion to accept and approve a Unit Rate Increase from Los Angeles County Aging and Disabilities Department for FY 2024-2025 Supportive Services Program; and authorize the City Manager or a designee to execute Amendment Five in the SSP232404 Subaward period July 2024 – July 2025 to accept and implement updated unit rate increase.

COUNCIL ACTION
Item Type: Consent Calendar
Approved for December 17, 2024 calendar

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Supportive Services Program (SSP) provides senior case management services under the Community Services & Parks (CSP) Department. The City receives grant funds from Los Angeles County Aging and Disabilities Department (AD) to provide SSP. Los Angeles County AD has authorized an increase to the Service Delivery Unit Rate under the grant for SSP. The current unit rate of $50.00 per hour will increase to $60 per hour, which will allow the City to be reimbursed at a higher rate for the services provided.

Los Angeles County AD SSP grant funding provides annual assistance for up to 80 unduplicated seniors 60 years and older which include: initial intake, in-home assessment, care plan, information and referral services, purchase of goods/services, annual reassessments, and well-being checkups.

RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council accept and authorize the City Manager to execute Amendment Five to the SSP232404 subaward period July 2024-June 2025 to implement the unit rate increase from Los Angeles County AD for the FY 2024-2025 Supportive Services Program.

ANALYSIS
CSP has been providing the Supportive Services Program (SSP), better known as senior case management since 1992. SSP provides comprehensive, long-term services to seniors 60 years and older, that utilize a case manager’s professional skills and competence to serve senior clients and link them to a full range of appropriate services including service coordination, care planning, purchase of goods/services, benefits enrollment, and referral services. The primary goal is to assist the elderly in maintaining their independence and living in their own home. The SSP is operated through the Senior Services Unit which also provides long term services that include the Elderly Nutrition Program, Emergency Meals, and Telephone Reassurance Program.

CSP was originally awarded an SSP subaward from Los Angeles County AD through a noncompetitive process where the City entered into a subaward agreement for a one- year term, commencing July 1, 2024, through June 30, 2025, with three additional options to renew annually for an anticipated total subaward term of four years. Baseline funding for the program requires a 15% cash match. In addition to baseline funding, SSP also received Modernizing Older Americans Act (MOCA) funding in FY 2024-25 which does not require a cash match.

SSP allows senior case managers to provide program services in the daily operations of the program including home visits, case planning, monitoring, contract compliance, invoicing, purchase of goods/service, and data tracking and direct assistance to seniors for case management services. Examples of direct assistance include payment of a utility bill, purchase of small appliances, home cleaning, clothing, respite, medical equipment/supplies, etc. Time that is spent on SSP services is booked monthly by the case managers as service delivery time per client and is supported by progress notes and other supporting documentation.

SSP assists up to 80 unduplicated seniors sixty years of age and older each fiscal year, with the following senior case management services: initial intake screening, in-home assessment, service authorization, care plan, and connecting to other services. Service areas for SSP include Glendale, La Crescenta, Montrose, and Verdugo City.

On December 3, 2024, LA County AD provided a letter informing CSP that the SSP would receive a unit rate increase from $50.00 per hour to $60.00 per hour. The unit rate increase is effective from contract execution through June 30, 2025 which includes baseline and MOCA funding.

STAKEHOLDERS/OUTREACH
SSP is part of the Senior Services Unit which operates out of the Adult Recreation Center.

Program services are advertised quarterly in the CSP Leisure Guide, CSP Newsletter, on the department website and social media, and outreach is conducted with other community agencies to ensure the public is aware of the available services. 98 of 532

34h

3 9

FISCAL IMPACT
The SSP program receives a total of $139,200 in grant funding which is reimbursable through service delivery. Currently SSP unit rate for service delivery is $50.00 per hour, but will increase to $60 per hour with this amendment.

This unit rate increase does not pose a fiscal impact, as the total grant funding is not changing.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW (CEQA/NEPA)
Because no possibility exists that the activity in question (accepting grant funding) may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA review under the commonsense exemption set forth in 14 Cal. Code Regs § 15061(b)(3).

CAMPAIGN DISCLOSURE
This item is exempt from campaign disclosure requirements.

ALTERNATIVES TO STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Alternative 1: Do not approve unit rate increase from Los Angeles County AD for FY 2024- 25 SSP, which means the City will be reimbursed for its services under a lower rate.

Alternative 2: The City Council may consider any alternative not proposed by staff.

COUNCIL ACTION
Item Type: Consent Calendar
Approved for December 17, 2024 calendar

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Glendale Fire Department has received $9,100 in funding from the 2023 State Homeland Security Program (SHSP) for staff to participate in the Mobex training. There are no cost or matching funds needed from the City.

RECOMMENDATION
Approve the motion authorizing the participation in the 2023 State Homeland Security Grant Program and accept the funds in the amount of $9,100 and adopt the resolution of appropriation.

ANALYSIS
The projects associated with the SHSGP grant program are for the purposes of continuing efforts to strengthen capabilities and enhance public safety and preparedness efforts within Glendale and the region. These projects are part of the Los Angeles Operational Area's regional funding priorities and have been vetted through the Los Angeles Area Fire Chief's Association, the Los Angeles County Police Chief's Association, and the County of Los Angeles Office of Homeland Security.

The City has been successful in obtaining $9,100 under the State Homeland Security Grant Program (SHSGP). These grant funds are allocated between the County of Los Angeles and those cities recognized by the County of Los Angeles Operational Area (OA), including the City of Glendale. The grant is administered by the County of Los Angeles. These funds are available for purchases of approved equipment, supplies, and for the training of first responders that meet identified national, state, county, and local priorities. 95% of all rescues in times of disaster or national emergency are performed by spontaneous rescuers. This means that neighbors will rely on neighbors for basic life needs including securing homes, providing shelter, managing medical needs, and communicating with first responders regarding community needs. The funding received will help fund the backfill cost associated with staff participation in the Mobex training, which is provided to help enhance first responders’ coordination and practice readiness responding to threats, hazards, and emergencies.

As of June 30, 2024, the City has a net position of more than $1.8 billion for all funds.

The unassigned & charter reserve fund balance for the General Fund is $128.4 million, a reserve of 40.0% of the FY 2023-24 expenditures. The City Council’s current General Fund Reserve policy is a minimum of 25% of the annual expenditures, with a target of 35%.

For the FY 2024-25 first quarter, General Fund revenues are approximately $30.5 million, or 9.3% of the revenue projection. Total General Fund expenditures through the first quarter are approximately $77.3 million, or 23.3% of the total revised budget.

Staff is also bringing forth four Resolutions relating to several classification and compensation adjustments as the City continues to bring salaries into alignment with their respective labor market counterparts. The proposed actions impact the GMA, GCEA, and IBEW bargaining units, as well as Executive-level employees, who are unrepresented. In addition, one position is being requested to be added to the authorized salaried position count.

RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council approve the attached motions accepting the FY 2023-24 Annual Comprehensive Financial Report, the FY 2024-25 First Quarter Financial Status Report, and the increase to the authorized salaried position count, as well as the resolutions for the establishment of classification titles and compensation.

ANALYSIS
FY 2023-24 Annual Comprehensive Financial Report
The Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) is the City’s audited financial statements. Finance staff prepares and compiles the ACFR which is then audited by the City’s independent certified public accountant, CliftonLarsonAllen LLP. The Auditors’ fieldwork commenced in June 2024 and concluded in November 2024 with the issuance of the Independent Auditors’ Report on November 19, 2024.

The ACFR is a set of government financial statements comprising the financial report of the City at the end of the fiscal year. The ACFR complies with the accounting requirements promulgated by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB), Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), and applicable legal requirements.

These standards, principles and regulations provide the framework and rules which the City follows to produce this financial report. The ACFR is audited by an external certified public accountant pursuant to Article VI, Section 16 of the City’s Charter. The ACFR is used by numerous government agencies, bond rating institutions, and financial information repositories in order to comply with various reporting, financial, and bond disclosure requirements.

The results of the annual audit are formally published in the ACFR. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, the City of Glendale received an Unmodified Opinion. This is the “cleanest” or highest opinion an entity can receive, which means that the City financial 113 of 532

5 7
statements are presented fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

The June 30, 2024, ACFR will be submitted to the Government Finance Officers’ Association for an annual national achievement award. To qualify for this award, the City must publish an easily readable and effectively organized report and must conform to the standards established by the award program. The City has received this national achievement award for 29 consecutive years and staff believes that this years’ ACFR will once again earn this designation.

The ACFR is organized into the following three main sections:

1.Introductory Section – This section includes the Transmittal Letter from the Interim Director of Finance, a listing of the Administration and Executive Management Team members, and the City’s Organization Chart.

2.Financial Section – This section is the main section of the ACFR and includes the Independent Auditors’ Report, Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A), the City’s government-wide statements, governmental, proprietary and fiduciary fund-level statements, notes to the basic financial statements, and the required supplementary information (RSI). The remainder of the Financial Section presents the financial statement information for non-major governmental and enterprise funds, all internal service funds and fiduciary custodial funds.

3.Statistical Section – Located towards the end of the ACFR, this section provides readers with a variety of information, all of which is unaudited.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A)
The MD&A is located immediately following the Independent Auditors’ Report and serves as an executive summary. GAAP requires that management provide this narrative to accompany the basic financial statements. The Transmittal Letter which precedes the MD&A in the Introductory section, is designed to complement the MD&A and should be read in conjunction with it.

Government-wide statements
The overall financial picture of the City is presented, in accordance with the Governmental Accounting Standards Board pronouncements, on a government-wide basis. Exhibits A-1 and A-2 in the AFCR are designed to provide readers with a broad overview of the City’s finances similar to a private-sector business consolidated financial statements. These statements show the end balances and overall results of operations for all City funds. These two government-wide financial statements distinguish functions of the City that are principally supported by taxes, fees, and intergovernmental revenues (governmental activities) from those primarily supported by a user rate charges (business-type activities). The two government-wide statements presented are as follows:

•The Statement of Net Position presents information on all of the City’s assets and deferred outflows of resources as well as liabilities and deferred inflows of resources, with the difference reported as net position. This is similar to a Balance Sheet in private sector accounting.

Deferred inflows of resources (48) (11) (59)
Net position June 30, 2024 $ 1,107 $ 748 $ 1,855
•The Statement of Activities presents information showing how the City’s net position changed during the most recent fiscal year. Similar to an Income Statement in private sector accounting, all changes in net position are reported as soon as the underlying event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Thus, revenues and expenses are reported in this statement for some items that will result in cash flows in future fiscal periods.

Fund-Level Statements and Notes
Following the government-wide statements are the fund-level financial statements and notes. The three main fund types are governmental funds, proprietary funds and fiduciary funds. Governmental funds include General Fund, Special Revenue Funds, Debt Service Funds and Capital Project Funds. Proprietary funds include enterprise funds and internal service funds. Fiduciary funds include private-purpose trust funds and custodial funds.

The Notes section provides a significant amount of disclosure requirements that supplement the financial data presented in the financial statements. Some of the note disclosures include detailed information about cash and investments, capital assets, 115 of 532

long-term debt and liabilities, the City’s pension plan and Other Post Employment Benefits Than Pensions (OPEB).

Statistical Section
The last section of the Report, which is unaudited, contains statistical data about the City. There are 20 schedules in total and most of them have 10 years of history. These schedules are broken down in five distinct categories: (1) Financial trends, (2) Revenue capacity, (3) Debt capacity, (4) Demographic and Economic information and (5) Operation information.

Net Pension Liability
A summary of the net pension liability for FY 2022-23 and FY 2023-24 by plans is shown below. Compared to the FY 2022-23 net pension liability, the FY 2023-24 amount increased by $19 million, from $677 million to $696 million. The increase was mainly due to a positive 5.8% investment return in FY 2022-23, which is lower than the expected discount rate of 6.8%.

and operating efficiency. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, the auditors did not identify any significant deficiency or material weakness.

Communication with Those Charged with Governance
The Communication with Those Charged with Governance is for the auditors to communicate the significant audit findings or issues, and other information, that are not communicated in the audited financial statements. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, the auditors concluded the following: (1) all significant transactions have been recognized in the financial statements in the proper period; (2) management’s estimates impacting the financial statements are disclosed; (3) the financial statement disclosures are neutral, consistent and clear; (4) the auditors encountered no significant difficulties in dealing with management in performing and completing the audit; (5) the auditors had no disagreement with the management. The letter also presents the corrected journal entries recommended by the auditors and the uncorrected journal entries. The effects of the uncorrected journal entries are immaterial, both individually and in the aggregate, to the financial statements taken as a whole.

Fiscal Year 2023-24 General Fund Year-End Results
General Fund Revenues
The final resources recorded as of June 30, 2024, were $330.7 million (not including interest revenue recorded for the Section 115 Trust, which is unbudgeted and restricted), compared to the revised resource budget of $328.3 million.

A major revenue category that received slightly less revenues than anticipated was Property Taxes by $1.2 million, primarily due to an attribution of $923 thousand in revenue to the prior fiscal year instead of current fiscal year, based on reports received from LA County.

The Sales Tax category recorded $3.3 million less in revenues than the final General Fund budget, primarily due to declines in the autos and transportation industry. New car sales were heavily affected by high financing rates, elevated vehicle prices from recent inventory shortages, and rising auto insurance costs, making it challenging for consumers to purchase new autos. However, as an offset, the final Measure S balance that was shifted to the unassigned fund balance category was higher by $3.8 million due to less spending on various programs and projects than anticipated.

Utility Users Taxes (UUT) revenues also came in slightly less than anticipated by $1.8 million, mainly due to Electric and Gas UUT revenues. While the volatility and unprecedented price surges in natural gas during FY 2022-23 suggested a likely decrease in FY 2023-24, the magnitude of the decline was not anticipated.

The Charges for Services category ended the year with slightly less revenues received by $1.2 million, mainly due to the Landfill Royalty Tipping fees and Host Assessment fees coming in lower than forecasted as well as some variances in other categories. 117 of 532

8a7
24-86899
5 6
5 7
Offsetting some of the lower receipts in revenues is the variance in the Interest/Use of Money category of approximately $6.5 million more than the final General Fund Budget.

This is mainly due to the unrealized gains in interest revenue recorded in accordance with GASB 31 in the amount of $5.8 million, which is unbudgeted. The following table reflects the General Fund revenues by major category as of June 30, 2024.

Compared to the FY 2023-24 projection, the actual expenditures were overspent by $1.0 million. The main attribution to this variance is $2.0 million in increased maintenance and operation expenditures, partially offset by $900 thousand in salaries & benefits savings, in addition to the anticipated $8.0 million in projected vacancy savings.

Factoring in the FY 2023-24 increase in unassigned fund balance and the budget carryover/other to assigned fund balance of $4.5 million, results in a net surplus of $5.2 million, with an ending unassigned & charter reserve fund balance of $128.4 million, a reserve of 40.0%.

FY 2024-25 First Quarter Financial Status Update
The City’s FY 2024-25 budget was adopted by City Council on June 25, 2024. The budget is not a static guideline for city spending but rather a dynamic document subject to constant revision and adjustment. Since budget adoption, staff has continued to analyze the revenues and expenditures that have been received and recorded and has revisited the adopted budget for potential adjustments. The first quarter financial update presented in this report includes the revenues and expenditures recorded through September 30, 2024.

General Fund Revenues
Revenues received in FY 2024-25 through September 30, 2024, total approximately $30.5 million, or 9.3% of the revenue budget. This level of tracking on revenues is generally typical around this time as revenues received in July and August are accrued back to the prior fiscal year in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. In addition, some revenues are received after the quarter-end cut off, such as Property Taxes. As of 1st quarter, staff is not proposing any amendments to the revenue projection for the General Fund. In the following months, staff will continue to assess the General Fund revenues and bring back any amendments to Council with future financial update reports. The following table displays General Fund revenues as of September 30, 2024, by major category.

fluctuate from the expected 25% mark for a variety of reasons including seasonal spending patterns and procurements that will occur later in the fiscal year.

The revised budget includes approximately $1.6 million in Council approved budget adjustments made through September 30, 2024, to the General Fund as well as $4.3 million in carryovers from the prior year for programs and activities that have not yet been completed.

General Fund Five Year Forecast
During the FY 2024-25 budget adoption process, City Council was presented with a five- year General Fund forecast based on multiple variables including historical patterns, economic forecasts, input of industry experts and consultants. Since staff is not proposing any adjustments to the revenue projection, the revenue forecast has remained the same as previously presented. On the appropriation side, staff has incorporated the Council approved adjustments as well as the estimated impact for the Classification & Compensation adjustments (discussed in the next section of this report) reoccurring for the outer years.

AMENDMENT OF CLASSIFICATION AND COMPENSATION RESOLUTIONS Introduction
Departments regularly assess their organizational structures, leading to suggestions for modifications in job classifications and titles. These revisions often stem from inequity studies, market trends and recruitment or retention difficulties, necessitating adjustments in compensation. Amendments to the Classification and Compensation resolutions are required to implement these changes. The Human Resources Department and the City Manager’s office conduct a review, and the City Manager endorses these proposals before they are presented to the Council.

The intention for the 2024-25 Fiscal Year, is to continue the process of bringing classifications throughout the City into alignment with their respective labor market counterparts as outlined below, with a concern for appropriate internal equity, and to establish several new classification titles. In total, nineteen classifications are proposed 122 of 532

8a12

5 7
for adjustment, nine of which are vacant, nineteen new classification titles are proposed, and 52 obsolete vacant classifications are recommended for deletion.

The proposed classification adjustments are detailed in the attached Resolutions. A summary of these adjustments and corresponding Resolution page numbers are provided below.

City Attorney’s Office
Principal Assistant City Attorney – adjust by 6.26% ($1,130.56) for a top monthly salary step of $19,190.25.

Legal Executive Secretary - adjust by 3.59% ($272.03) for a top monthly salary step of $7,858.72.

City Treasurer’s Office
Treasury Services Technician II – adjust by 11.30% ($608.40) for a top monthly salary step of $5,991.85.

Senior Housing Analyst - adjust by 8.13% ($707.70) for a top monthly salary step of $9,409.70.

Fire Department
New Classification
Currently, entry-level employees are hired at the level of Fire Communications Operator, serving a one-year probation. It is proposed that the Fire Communications Operator Trainee be established as an unclassified position to provide the Department with flexibility during the examination process.

Starting new hires in the classification of Fire Communications Operator Trainee allows them to work under close supervision in a stressful, fast-paced environment before they become Fire Communications Operators. It will provide them with additional training and support and afford them a better chance of being successful. Once the Fire Communications Operator Trainee completes the one-year unclassified probation during training, the individual will be promoted to Fire Communications Operator and serve an additional one-year probation in a classified status. 123 of 532

Based upon the duties of the position, the Fire Department proposes the creation of the Fire Communications Trainee position, with a suggested top salary step of $7,707.87.

The Fire Department is also requesting the addition of one Emergency Services Coordinator position which will increase the full-time authorized salaried position count.

The Fire Department intends to transition the current Fire Captain who performs several Emergency Services Coordinator functions to a civilian position to allow for continuity of operations without the disruption of frequent leadership rotations of sworn Fire personnel. A civilian Emergency Service Coordinator brings specialized knowledge and experience in emergency management, ensuring a focused approach to preparedness, response, and recovery. This expertise benefits the City during emergencies by creating a more effective and coordinated response, which enhances resilience Citywide. The costs associated with the addition of this position will be absorbed in the Fire Department’s current FY 2024-25 budget.

Glendale Water & Power
Electrical Field Services Supervisor – adjust by 6.00% ($847.44) for a top monthly salary step of $14,971.45.

Electrical Superintendent – adjust by 2.64% ($404.23) for a top monthly salary step of $15,720.02.

Power Engineering Manager – adjust by 14.40 % ($2,148.98) for a top monthly salary step of $17,076.07.

New Classifications
The Glendale Water & Power (GWP) Department is proposing to add the classification of Electrical Mechanic Supervisor I. This classification will be responsible for providing leadership and supervision to a group of Electrical Mechanic Assistants. Both GWP Management and IBEW recognize the need for a dedicated crew supervisor to ensure efficient operations and high standards of work. This role is essential for maintaining the safety, productivity, and quality of electrical services. The suggested top salary step for this classification is $9,677.04.

The introduction of the Utility Environmental Program Specialist classification will address the growing need for specialized knowledge in environmental programs within our utility operations. This new classification reflects the increasing complexity of regulatory compliance and environmental sustainability initiatives. The suggested top salary step for this classification is $8,728.37.

The establishment of the Utility Environmental Program Supervisor classification will formalize the supervisory responsibilities required to oversee GWP’s environmental programs effectively. This role will enable better coordination and management of environmental compliance and sustainability projects, enhancing our operational efficiency. The suggested top salary step for this classification is $12,422.72. 124 of 532

Human Resources Department
Safety Administrator – adjust by 16.79% ($1,735.99) for a top monthly salary step of $12,073.85.

Assistant Director of Human Resources – adjust by 7.51% ($1,252.75) for a top monthly salary step of $17,942.39.

New Classification
Human Resources Manager – this classification will replace the existing Human Resources Administrator as it more appropriately represents the functions associated with the position. The suggested top salary step for this classification is $13,020.72, which is the same salary as the Human Resources Administrator.

Information Technology Department
The IT Department is requesting the creation of a Cybersecurity job series and the expansion of the existing Network Engineer job series. Regarding the Cybersecurity series, currently information security responsibilities are spread across the System and Network Engineer job series. This approach can lead to inconsistencies, gaps in security coverage, and a lack of focused expertise. Establishing a dedicated Information Cybersecurity Engineer series, ranging from levels I through III, will address these challenges and significantly enhance our security posture. This dedicated structure allows for specialized skill development and promotes a culture of security awareness. The suggested top salary steps are as follows:

Cybersecurity Engineer I - $9,698.19
Cybersecurity Engineer II - $10,668.87
Cybersecurity Engineer III - $11,735.31
For the Network Engineer series, creation of the Network Engineer I and III classifications offers several key advantages. First, it establishes a clear career path within the organization, allowing for entry-level talent (Network Engineer I) to develop skills and gain experience. Second, it provides a promotional opportunity for existing Network Engineer II staff to advance to a Network Engineer III role with increased responsibilities and leadership potential. This tiered structure fosters employee growth, improves retention, and ensures a pipeline of skilled network professionals to meet the organization's evolving needs.

The suggested top salary steps are as follows:

Network Engineer I - $9,698.19
Network Engineer III - $11,735.31
Lastly, the IT Department is requesting a salary grade adjustment for the Assistant Chief Information Officer position. Recruitment and retention in the Information Technology sector remain significant challenges, particularly for municipalities competing in a dynamic and competitive labor market. The proposed adjustment reflects the Assistant Chief Information Officer’s span of control, the complexity of their job responsibilities, and prevailing market conditions. It’s also a proactive measure to 125 of 532

8a15
24-86899
5 6
5 7
retain top talent and ensuring organizational stability. The request is to adjust the salary of the Assistant Chief Information Officer by 8.38% ($1,466.92) for a top monthly salary step of $18,982.36.

Management Services Department
New Classification
The existing Graphics Illustrator classification no longer aligns with the current demands and evolving scope of work in visual communication and design. Over the years, graphic design has transformed significantly with advancements in technology, software, and communication platforms. A modern Graphics Designer job classification better reflects the professional standards, responsibilities, and skills required for the position today.

The proposed Graphic Designer role will encompass a broader range of tasks, including digital media design, social media content creation, and interactive presentations, in addition to traditional print design. By adding the Graphic Designer classification, the City can attract top-tier talent and effectively communicate our mission and services to the community through modern, impactful design. The suggested top salary step for this classification is $7,568.00.

Police Department
Police Records Administrator – adjust by 12.29% ($1,461.29) for a top monthly salary step of $13,356.00 due to the addition of the Property Bureau to the scope of responsibilities.

Police Communications Administrator – adjust by 31.85% ($3,226.31) for a top monthly salary step of $13,356.00.

New Classifications
The Real Time Intelligence Center (R.T.I.C.) leverages emerging technologies to provide real-time, actionable intelligence to first responders. The R.T.I.C. integrates several cutting-edge technologies, including live-stream footage from various public cameras across Glendale, into a single, user-friendly system. The system uses robust analytical software to digest large amounts of information. That analysis generates actionable, real-time intelligence that investigators and patrol officers, supervisors, and managers can then use to deliver a safer and more efficient response to the community.

The proposed classifications of Real Time Intelligence Center Operator, Real Time Intelligence Center Specialist and Real Time Intelligence Center Supervisor are intended to support the operations of the R.T.I.C. dedicated to delivering real-time intelligence to patrol officers.

The suggested top salary steps are as follows:

Real Time Intelligence Center Operator - $7,793.00
Real Time Intelligence Center Specialist - $8,374.00
Real Time Intelligence Center Supervisor - $8,969.00

Moreover, in June 2024, the City Council sanctioned the creation of the new Police Parking Operations Administrator. The title should have been listed as Parking and Police Services Administrator, but it was overlooked. The revised title is included in the applicable Resolution.

Public Works Department
Assistant Public Works Director/City Engineer - adjust by 3.93% ($746.01) for a top monthly salary step of $19,728.37.

New Classifications
The Public Works Department has been assessing current job classifications of its positions in the Traffic Maintenance and Parking Meter operations and has found that the existing class specifications are antiquated and out of alignment when compared with the actual job functions employees in those positions are now performing.

Employees who currently occupy the obsolete classifications will transition to the new titles after which the obsolete classifications will be eliminated.

The Department is seeking to create the classifications of Parking Meter Technician and Senior Parking Meter Technician. The classification of Parking Meter Technician will replace the current classification of Parking Meter Collector/Repairer. The new classification of Senior Parking Meter Technician will create opportunities for better succession planning within the Public Works Maintenance Services Division, bridges a salary disparity (24.6%) between the Parking Services Supervisor position and that crew supervisor’s direct reports, and serves as a deterrence for attrition to other departments or outside agencies.

The proposed salary for the classification of Parking Meter Technician is $6,233.55, which is the same as the classification it is replacing. The proposed salary for the new classification of Senior Parking Meter Technician is $6,622.90.

The Department is also seeking to create the classifications of Traffic Maintenance Technician and Senior Traffic Maintenance Technician, which will result in title changes for the existing classifications of Traffic Painter and Senior Traffic Painter. The operational needs and technology for the Traffic Section have evolved extensively over the past two decades. The crew size for this operation has become smaller, but much more versatile and fluid over the years, and now utilizes a cache of computer based and new equipment technologies to perform the core duties and job functions of these operations. The proposed salaries for these classifications are $6,052.84 and $6,431.32 respectively, which are the same as the classifications they are replacing.

Additionally, the Department is seeking to create the new classification of Assistant Fleet Compliance Manager. The Fleet Services Division has, over the past four years, focused on the consolidation and designation of compliance responsibilities. Regulatory compliance for municipal fleets and fueling facilities has become increasingly complex in California and the designation of a compliance operation in this division positions the 127 of 532

8a17
24-86899

5 7
city well to handle current and future regulations. In 2023, the classification of Fleet Compliance Manager was created. The proposed classification of Assistant Fleet Compliance Manager will create a better succession planning structure for this operation and will provide the support and redundancy needed to ensure responsible operation of the City’s fleet. The suggested top salary step for this classification is $7,595.04.

Executive Resolution
Included in this staff report as a separate item is a Resolution for Executive-level employees, who are unrepresented. In the absence of an MOU, the Classification and Compensation Resolution appointed Executives enumerates the salary and benefit items available for Executives.

Staff is proposing that the compensation for the classification of General Manager of GWP be adjusted by 10.49% ($2,769.67) for a top monthly salary step of $29,166.67, ensuring the City’s compensation remains competitive with industry standards.

SUMMARY
