ITEMS FOR CONSIDERATION

Recommended Actions (s):
a. Council to receive update – no action is necessary
City Administrator Arteaga informed the Council that city staff recently attended the Butte County Oversight Board meeting to present the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Gridley’s budget. This budget covers bond payments and staff time necessary for preparing compensation agreements related to the remaining lots at the Industrial Park. These agreements will be utilized should the City of Gridley decide to sell any of the lots it intends to retain, ensuring a fair distribution formula for the applicable taxing agencies. The budget was unanimously approved by the Oversight Board.
The item was informational only, no voting was necessary.
7. Deputy City Clerk Job Description
Council to consider the approval of the attached job description and salary range for the new classification of Deputy City Clerk

c. Direct City Administrator to make changes as necessary and add position to the Memorandum of Understanding for Management/Mid-Management/Confidential and Unrepresented Employees.
Administrator Arteaga presented the proposed job description with salary range and emphasized the significant need for a Deputy City Clerk. With the recent addition of a City Planner, Administrator Arteaga believes this position will provide essential support to both the City Administrator and the Principal Planner on complex projects while continuing to assist department managers and serve the public effectively. Administrator Arteaga proposed that the Deputy City Clerk position be designated as a mid-management role, separate from the union. The adoption of GRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MINUTES: Regular Meeting of 1-21-25 Page 5 of 10 this job description would result in the elimination of one Administrative Secretary position, replacing it with the Deputy City Clerk role.

As part of their services, California Consulting will conduct an initial Needs Assessment to identify grant opportunities that align with the City’s needs, which will require Council approval before any grant applications are initiated.
Councilmember Sanchez inquired whether Administrator Arteaga had a budgeted amount for grant writing services. Administrator Arteaga explained that following the Needs Assessment, the City would be presented with available grant opportunities along with an estimated cost for each grant preparation. She also noted that some grants include provisions for covering administrative expenses.
Councilmember Sanchez further asked if this agreement would impact the grant writing services currently provided by Bennett Engineering. City Engineer Harden clarified that he can continue to write grants as needed for water, sewer, and engineering projects and will collaborate with California Consulting by providing information as needed for their Needs Assessment.

Recommended Action(s):
a. Review and approve the temporary construction easement agreement with PGE; or
b. Council to direct City Administrator to negotiate changes as needed with PGE representatives
The City Administrator requested approval of a Temporary Construction Easement (TCE) authorizing PG&E to use Lot 7 at the Industrial Park for staging purposes. The easement would allow PG&E to park vehicles, place construction trailers, and store materials and equipment in connection with its pipeline construction project. The initial term of the TCE is three months, beginning February 1, 2025, and ending April 30, 2025, with an option for PG&E to extend the lease for up to an additional three months.

Kevin Muzikar, Environmental Field Specialist with PG&E, briefly addressed the Council to further explain the change described by Engineer Harden.

City staff respectfully recommend that the City Council authorizes the City Administrator to execute a contract with Franklin Construction Inc.
Recommended Action(s), Council to accept staff report and provide direction on the following options:
a. Council to approve the base bid with no alternative bids; or b. Council to approve the base bid with alternative bid #1; or c. Council to approve the base bid with alternative bid #2; or d. Council to approve the base bid with both alternative bids City Engineer Dave Harden reported on the strong turnout of contractors submitting bids for the project. He noted that the lowest bid came in significantly lower than the engineer’s estimate, which was within the mid-range of the submitted bid packages.
City Engineer Harden outlined two separate bid packages. The first package, part of the original scope, included parking deterrents and a post-and-cable fence to prevent vehicle access to the pond. The second package proposed the repaving of a bike path around the Industrial Park. Given that the alternative bids were also competitively priced, City Engineer Harden recommended awarding the contract, including both alternative bid packages, to Franklin Construction.
Councilmember Sanchez shared her concerns of the contract not being included in the agenda packet.

11. Wage Compensation Study Proposal
City Staff respectfully requests City Council to consider and approve the proposal for professional services to prepare a Wage Compensation Study.
Recommended Action(s):
a. Approve the initiation of a wage compensation study for all city classifications contained in the three Memorandum of Understanding Agreements (GPOA, IBEW, MMUR); and
b. Award the proposal to Bryce Consulting
c. Authorize the City Administrator to oversee the study’s completion and execute the agreements for professional services with prior review by the city attorney.
Administrator Arteaga presented the staff report and reminded the Council that this year will include negotiations with city staff, the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW), and the Gridley Police Officers Association (GPOA). She emphasized the importance of conducting a wage compensation study to assess the City's current salary structure and gain a comprehensive understanding of competitive wages.
Administrator Arteaga clarified that if the study indicates the need for higher wages, it will not result in automatic pay adjustments but will serve as a valuable tool during negotiations. The study will compare existing job classifications with those in surrounding jurisdictions Councilmember Roberts expressed his understanding of the need for a wage compensation study, noting that it would help prevent situations like in 2007 when the GPOA received a 17% salary increase in order for the City to remain competitive with neighboring jurisdictions. Administrator Arteaga emphasized that a structured approach would allow for gradual adjustments, if necessary, enabling the City to budget and adapt accordingly to meet financial and staffing needs.

CITY ENGINEER'S REPORT
CITY OF GRIDLEY MAINTENANCE ASSESSMENT DISTRICT NO. 7
Maintenance Assessment District Improvements
As a condition of approval of Subdivision Map No.1-21, commonly known as Parkland Estates Subdivision, it is necessary to form a maintenance assessment district and assess the expenses of maintenance and operation of the improvements of special benefit to that subdivision. The boundary of Maintenance Assessment District No. 7 (District) is described in Exhibit “A" and delineated in Exhibit "B" attached hereto and by this reference incorporated herein. The annual assessment shall be used for the purpose of funding the annual costs of maintenance and operation and future replacement of the following public improvements:
• Stormwater Infrastructure including but not limited to; pipes, manifolds, detention chambers, and drain inlets,
• Roadway Pavement and Striping
• Curb and Gutter
• Sidewalks
• Street Lights
Annual Assessment
The assessment cost breakdown is shown in Exhibit “C” attached hereto and by this reference incorporated herein. The total annual cost for the District is $6,421.
Method of Apportionment
The method of apportionment is based on an equally proportionate benefit received by each lot within the maintenance assessment district. Each of the 19 lots shall be apportioned an equal share of the costs associated with Maintenance District No. 7.
Annual Assessment per Lot
Total annual contribution $338.00 per lot
Adjustment to Annual Assessments Based on Increases in Consumer Price Index Any increase in the amount of the total annual assessment as well as any increase in an annual assessment levied against a particular lot or parcel within the boundaries of this assessment district to account for inflation shall be calculated in the following manner:
If, on the first day of the City fiscal year commencing on July 1st following the establishment of a maintenance assessment district in the manner provided by the Improvement Act of 1911 (Streets and Highways Code Sections 5820 et seq.), and on the first day of each fiscal year thereafter that the assessment district remains in effect, there is an increase in the cost of operating and maintaining the public improvements to be funded with assessment district revenues, as measured by an increase in the consumer price index during such period of time, then the total annual assessment levied against all properties within the assessment district, as well as the proportional annual assessment levied against each lot or parcel within the boundaries of the assessment district shall also be increased in proportion to the increase in such costs. The determination of whether there has been an increase in such costs and the amount of the increase in such assessments which is proportional to the increase in such costs shall be made by the Director of Public Works and shall be based exclusively on the percentage increase during such period of time in the consumer price index published by the Federal Bureau of Labor Statistics for all Urban Consumers -- U.S. Cities Average (all items) or such other measure employed by the U.S. Department of Labor Statistics in lieu of such consumer price index which measures the cost of living in U.S. cities.
Credits Against Annual Assessments Based on Prior Year Maintenance Costs If the actual cost of operating and maintaining the public improvements (not including the revenue collected for the Sinking Fund) funded by revenues from this assessment district during any year the assessment district remains in effect is less than the assessment levied for that year, the difference between the actual cost of operating and maintaining the public improvements and the assessment levied for that year shall be credited against the assessments levied during the next succeeding year in the manner prescribed as follows. If on the first day of the City fiscal year commencing on July 1st following the establishment of a maintenance assessment district in the manner provided by the Improvement Act of 1911 (Streets and Highways Code Sections 5820 et seq.), and on the first day of each fiscal year thereafter that the assessment district remains in effect, the total annual assessment levied during the preceding fiscal year exceeded the actual cost of operating and maintaining the public improvements to be funded with assessment district revenues during such preceding year, then the total annual assessment levied against the property within the assessment district during the ensuing fiscal year shall be reduced by a credit equal to the difference between the total annual assessment levied during the preceding fiscal year and the actual cost of operating and maintaining the public improvements to be funded with assessment district revenues during such preceding fiscal year.
In particular, the total annual assessment levied against all property within the maintenance assessment district shall be reduced during the ensuing fiscal year, and only during the ensuing fiscal year, by an amount equal to the difference between the total annual assessment levied during the preceding fiscal year and the total cost of operating and maintaining the public improvements to be funded with assessment district revenues during such preceding fiscal year, and the annual assessment levied against each individual lot or parcel within the boundaries of the assessment district shall be reduced during the ensuing fiscal year, and only during such ensuing fiscal year, by a portion of such amount which is calculated by the Director of Public Works using the method of apportionment set forth in the City Engineer's Report as approved by the City Council at the time of the district was established.
Termination Date of the Assessment District
Maintenance Assessment District No. 7 shall continue from year to year until dissolved by the City Council of the City of Gridley.
Engineer’s Statement
I do hereby assess and apportion said amount to be assessed upon the assessable lots within the “Parkland Estates Subdivision” upon each lot, severally and respectively, in accordance with the special benefits to be received by such lots and more particularly set forth in Exhibit “A”, Exhibit “B” and Exhibit “C” attached hereto.
