CITY COUNCIL

STAFF REPORT
Agenda Item #B2
DATE: September 12, 2023
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Ernesto Marquez, City Manager
BY: Megan Garibaldi, City Attorney
RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation to authorize the City Manager to enter into the necessary agreements regarding the issuance of temporary work permits for the chair massage technicians at the Gardens Casino.

SUMMARY
The City’s Massage Ordinance exempts chair massages which are administered by fully closed individuals to fully clothed patrons in office of public locations, including the public areas of licensed card clubs. The City amended its massage ordinance earlier this year by adopting Ordinance No. 2023-609, which clarified that owners or operators of a massage establishment that provide only chair massages are exempt from the Massage Ordinance’s requirements of obtaining an operator’s permit.

The Chief of Police (through the Los Angeles County Office of the Sheriff) is tasked with reviewing and approving all applications for work permits in connection with the Gardens Casino. The Sheriff’s Office believes there is ambiguity in the City’s Municipal Code relating to issuing work permits to chair massage technicians at the Gardens Casino.

While the Sheriff’s Office investigates the issue further, it has agreed to issue temporary work permits to chair massage technicians for the Gardens Casino, subject to execution of an indemnification agreement. The City is looking for the Gardens Casino to also execute a separate indemnification agreement.

Therefore, staff is requesting that the City Council authorize the City Manager to enter into the necessary agreements regarding the issuance of temporary work permits for the chair massage technicians at the Gardens Casino.

ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENTATION
This action is not subject to the requirements of California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), because it is not a “project” within the meaning of sections 15060(c)(2) and 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines and because it is exempt under section 15061(b)(3), since it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that this action will have a significant effect on the environment.

FISCAL IMPACT
No fiscal impact anticipated.

SUGGESTED ACTION
Approve Recommendation.

Agenda Item #B4
DATE: September 12, 2023
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Ernesto Marquez, City Manager
BY: Linda Hollinsworth, Finance Director
RECOMMENDATION:

RECOMMENDATION TO AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO APPROVE ON-THEJOB TRAINING AGREEMENTS WITH SOUTHEAST LOS ANGELES COUNTY

WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT BOARD (SELACO WDB)

SUMMARY
SELACO provides many services to assist job seekers. They can receive training, improve work skills and obtain jobs. The City of Hawaiian Gardens currently partners with SELACO to provide a Youth Employment Program (YEP), provide on-site office space for a SELACO representative to assist job seekers and to serve as a “Work Site” for participants in the Workforce Innovation Opportunity Act (WIOA) program.

SELACO has offered the City another opportunity provide support for the community through an On-The-Job Training program (OJT). This program will reimburse the City for extraordinary costs deemed to be incurred for providing training and employment to eligible participants. Participants would be placed mainly in entry level positions. These participants would be hired as HG City employees and work a minimum of 32 hours a week. The goal of this program is to have these participants continue as regular employees at the conclusion of the training period. Participants may be identified by the City, as part of the recruitment process, or may be referred by SELACO. The City is working with the Union to address any concerns they may have and to identify the positions that would be considered for this program.

FISCAL IMPACT
Positions to be filled will be budgeted positions. Funds received from SELACO will reduce the cost for these positions during the training period.

Term of Agreement
This Agreement is entered into effect from to by and between the parties as identified above.

Key Facts
A. The SELACO WDB and the Employer wish to cooperate to provide on-the-job training (OJT) in one or more of the occupations listed in Exhibit 1 hereto (Employer Information) for persons referred by the SELACO WDB and hired by the Employer.

B. The Employer represents that it is able to train and employ one or more SELACO WDB-referred persons who are eligible for enrollment in SELACO WDB-sponsored programs (Trainee), each of whom is identified in Exhibit 1 hereto (Trainee Information).

C. The SELACO WDB represents that it will reimburse the Employer for its extraordinary costs deemed to be incurred for providing such training and employment, as calculated in Exhibit 1 and as further provided below.

Conditions of Agreement
NOW, THEREFORE, in reliance of the above representations and subject to the covenants and conditions contained herein, the parties agree as follows:

1. Purpose
Purpose is to identify the rights and duties of the parties with regard to OJT and continuing employment for each Trainee.

2. Employer obligations to Trainee
a. Hire and Train The Employer shall hire each Trainee and provide to each the instruction, work assignments, equipment and materials adequate to perform the assigned job functions; provided that, if any such job is covered under a collective bargaining agreement, Employer shall first obtain written concurrence from the appropriate bargaining unit(s) for inclusion of that job under this Agreement. b. Compensate Each Trainee shall be compensated by the Employer at the same rates (including periodic increases not tied to individual performance) and with the same fringe benefits (including health benefits and workers compensation) as are provided for its similarly-suited employees of trainees, in compliance with applicable laws governing wages, hours and benefits.
c. Retain Upon each Trainee’s successful completion of the Employer’s customary probationary period, the Employer shall retain the Trainee as a regular (rather than as a temporary or seasonal) employee, subject to the Employer’s standard personnel policies and procedures, including without limitations the Employer’s standard employee evaluation and disciplinary polices. The Employer failure, with exception to situations that are out of the employers control, to retain a Trainee who has successfully completed training and adequately performed job functions will disqualify the Employer from future participation in WDB sponsored OJT.

3. SELACO WDB Obligation to Employer
Attachment IX
2 Revised 12/11/2019
a. Screening The SELACO WDB shall screen and refer potential Trainees to the Employer subject to the Employer’s job-specific and permissible requirements. b. Payments The SELACO WDB shall pay the Employer for training as specified in Exhibit 1 which obligation is expressly conditioned upon the Employers submittal of the appropriate invoice and performance of each of its Warranties below. Payments shall be based on the total non-overtime hours actually worked by each Trainee and for which wages were paid by the Employer, excluding payments attributable to benefits such as paid leave.
c. Support The SELACO WDB shall provide continuing services to each Trainee and the Employer as needed for the Trainee to adequately perform the assigned job, including Trainee support services (e.g. aid for transportation, child care, health care, equipment purchases and other Trainee costs) and assistance as needed with Employer-to-Trainee communication.

4. Invoices and Payments
The Employer shall submit invoices to the SELACO WDB showing all non-overtime hours worked by each Trainee in the appropriate job during the previous calendar month. Each invoice submitted must include copy of employer payroll registers and/or copies of employee pay check that clearly identifies hourly wage rate, hours worked and total compensation. Final invoices must include the Training Hours Verification form signed by both the employer and employee. This will be a requirement for reimbursement under the OJT program.

5. Employer Warranties
The Employer hereby warrants as follows, each of which is expressly agreed to be a condition to the SELACO WDB’s obligation to pay the Employer for its training costs:
a. Other
Employment
The Employer does not currently employ and has not previously employed any Trainee in any capacity, nor is any Trainee currently on layoff status or subject to recall by the Employer.
b. Start Date The Employer shall not hire any Trainee until this Agreement has been fully executed by both parties, including the appropriate Exhibit 1 for each Trainee. c. Maintenance of
Effort
The Employer shall by reason of this Agreement reduce the amount of scope of employee training which it provided before discussions with the SELACO WDB regarding this Agreement where initiated.
d. Relocation The Employer has not within the past One Hundred Twenty (120) days relocated the business unit which will employ any Trainee, nor is that business unit affiliated in any manner with any other entity which within the past One Hundred Twenty (120) days has relocated, if any such relocation caused any job loss for previous employees of the Employers or such business unit.
e. Displacement No other employee of the Employer shall have non-overtime work, wages or benefits reduced due to hiring a Trainee; or may any Trainee be hired (1) when any other person is on layoff form a substantially similar job, or (ii) if the Employer has terminated any other employee without cause or has otherwise reduced its workforce with the intention of filling one or more such jobs with a Trainee. f. Work
Assignment
No wages under this Agreement shall be paid to a Trainee for work on the construction, operation or maintenance of any part of a facility used for religious instruction or worship, nor for any activities which involve political advocacy or which support or oppose unionization.

6. Confidentiality
Unless authorized by the SELACO WDB, the Employer shall not release to any third party any information obtained from any source regarding Trainee or applicants for positions under this Agreement, excepting only information required to be released under applicable laws or such information on the Employers workforce as it commonly releases for purposes related to its business activities.

7. Legal Compliance

8. Delegation and Assignment
The performance of each party to this Agreement is personal to that party. No duties of either party may be delegated and no rights may be assigned to any third party. Any attempted delegation or assignment without the written consent of the other party shall be void at its inception and without legal effect.

9. Personnel Policies

The Employers’ written personnel policies and procedures shall be provided to the Trainee and shall include a procedure for resolving grievances. The Employer’s final resolution of any such grievance shall be subject to review by the SELACO WDB. Except when immediate termination of a Trainee’s employment may be appropriate due to serious misconduct, the Employer shall give advance notice to the Trainee of inadequate performances to permit improvement to occur and the employment relations to continue.

10. Term Modification
This Agreement shall be in effect for the period (“Term”) beginning on the date first written above and ending three years thereafter, unless earlier terminated as provided herein or extended by written agreement.

This Agreement incorporates all prior and contemporaneous agreements between the parties, and may be modified only by a written instrument signed by both parties (including without limitation additional copies of Exhibit 1 for additional Trainees). No oral statement, instruction or agreement shall be effective in modifying this Agreement to any extent.

11. Termination
Whenever this Agreement requires or permits notice to be given, notice shall be given in writing and sent by first class mail, transmittal by facsimile or personally delivered. Each such notice shall be properly addressed to the other party as provided above, or as revised by notice which complies with these requirements. Notice sent by mail shall be effective three (3) days after mailing, and notice faxed or personally delivered shall be effective upon completion of transmittal or delivery.

12. Miscellaneous
This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California. A party’s non enforcement of performance required of the other party shall not waive the first party’s ability to enforce that performance in any other instance. Each exhibit referenced above and attached hereto is incorporated into this Agreement by the reference.

6 PROJECT APPROACH AND METHODOLOGY
Following is our overall work plan and approach to achieving the City’s objectives for the conduct of a classification and/or compensation study.

A. OBJECTIVES OF THE PROJECT
The recommended plans, programs, systems and administrative procedures will meet these ten most important criteria.
- Internally equitable - Financially responsible
- Externally competitive - Efficiently administered
- Readily understood - Inclusive of employee input
- Easily updated & maintained - Reflective of City's values - Legally compliant & defensible - Reflective of prevailing “best practices” B. SCOPE OF THE PROJECT
The project could include: a management and employee communication plan; partnership with the City’s Human Resources Manager, City Manager, Council, and project designee(s); occupational, organizational, and operational familiarization; Position Analysis Questionnaire (PAQ) and job analysis for all classifications; position classification and job title recommendations for all employees and classifications; FLSA interpretations; internal equity and external competitiveness evaluation; salary and benefits survey and competitiveness analysis; salary range recommendations; fiscal impact estimates and multiple implementation scenarios; updated classification and compensation plan and one year of classification and compensation plan implementation support for all included employees in all job classifications.

C. PROJECT METHODOLOGY

1. Quality Assurance
To ensure a high-quality project, we have built in several layers of procedural and statistical controls, in addition to those already in EZ COMP™. Internally, we follow a prescribed series of steps in each project phase, which are reviewed by our Project Director. We request that the Human Resources and City’s Project Manager(s) review our work to minimize the chance of errors and to ensure that it reflects the City's organizational values.

2. Project Planning Meetings and Communication Plan Development We will consult with the Human Resources staff and City Officials or representatives on a communication strategy, plan, and materials, beginning prior to the project and extending to the postproject information meetings. We can provide a video intro, live virtual meeting, or conduct group preproject meetings for all City officials and employees where we will discuss the project’s scope, answer questions, and distribute and explain the Position Analysis Questionnaire.

HGCA PUBLIC SECTOR PERSONNEL CONSULTANTS 6/23
7 D. POSITION CLASSIFICATION ANALYSIS

1. Review of Essential Tasks –Position Analysis Questionnaire We will review and analyze the current essential tasks, duties and responsibilities, and minimum qualifications of each included position through the Position Analysis Questionnaire (PAQ) to be completed by each employee (or group of employees with identical jobs) in print or electronic format. If the information on the PAQ does not clearly delineate the position’s scope of responsibilities, we may return the PAQ to the position’s incumbent for additional information or focus on the data gap during an optional worksite job information interview.

2. Employee Worksite Job Information Interviews (optional, virtual) We can conduct a worksite job information interview with a representative incumbent of every job classification. The purpose of these interviews is to verify the data on the PAQ, obtain additional insight into the scope and complexity of the job duties, observe technical processes and working conditions, and to provide employees with an additional method of participation in the project. This process also ensures that we make all internal and external comparisons on the basis of actual job content and not merely job title.

3. FLSA Status Interpretation
We will review the essential tasks and minimum qualifications of each of the City's job classifications and subject them to the Fair Labor Standards Act tests to provide opinion on exempt or non-exempt status.

4. Position Classification
Each of the City’s positions will be analyzed and evaluated to determine their primary characteristics, including:
- Is there a current City occupational job group comprised of job classes with essential functions similar to the subject position; if so:
- To which of the group’s job classes, and at what level, are the subject position’s essential functions similar to the subject position, and if so:
- Are they sufficiently comparable (+/- 20% guideline) to be allocated to that job class, utilize the same job title, require the same minimum qualifications, and be assigned to the same salary range. - If the City does not currently have a sufficiently comparable job class, what should be the subject position’s occupational job class and title, and:
- What should the recommended occupational classification action be, No Change (N), Title Change (T), Merge With Other Job Class (M), New Job Class (J). - We may find that a job class is overly broad and encompasses several job activities which are regarded with significant salary difference in the marketplace. In such an instance, we will recommend "splitting" the job class into the current job class and a new job class which encompasses the different job activities.

HGCA PUBLIC SECTOR PERSONNEL CONSULTANTS 6/23
8 5. Updated Job Descriptions (optional, additional)
We can prepare an updated job description in the City’s standard or other selected format for each occupational job class. Focus will be on the Essential Functions and Minimum Qualifications. The specifications or descriptions may include (not limited to) the following components:

Job Title – Definition Education, Training and Experience Physical Requirements Distinguishing Characteristics Licenses and Certifications Non-Essential Functions Essential Functions FLSA Exempt/Non-Exempt Status Mental Requirements Desired Knowledge and Skills Supervision Exercise/Received Working Conditions

6. Draft Classification Plan Review with Human Resources and Department Heads We will conduct a review of our initial position classification recommendations and draft job descriptions with the City’s Project Team and respective department heads to identify possible errors, obtain feedback, and solicit suggestions for clarification.

7. Various Approaches to Ensure Internal Equity
If desired, and for precision in job class analyses, and subsequent salary range determinations, we may utilize one of several job evaluation systems widely in use, including the Hay Method, Decision Band Method (DBM), and the Factor Evaluation System (FES). FES is the most extensively validated and commonly utilized quantitative job evaluation system for public sector occupations, consisting of the following flexible compensable factors.

Knowledge Required Personal Contacts Complexity
Supervisory Controls Scope and Effect Work Environment
Guidelines Provided Supervision Exercised Physical Demands The job class hierarchy based on job points will reflect the City's relative internal job worth values. The City’s annual salary competitiveness policy will be translated into a mathematical formula which, when combined with the job points of each City job class, will determine the proper salary range for each job class and position. This balances internal equity (job points relationships) with external competitiveness (market relationship formula).
a. Optional Approach A –FES System –We will train a task force of representative City employees in the adaptation of the FES point-factor job content evaluation system to the City’s job worth values, guide them in the evaluation of a structured benchmark of job classes, conduct QC reviews, and evaluate the remaining job classes within the relative job worth structure established by the task force. We can provide the City with manual or automated versions of this system. b. Optional Approach B –Custom Designed System for the City –We will train and guide a task force of representative City employees in the design of a point-factor system of job content evaluation total reflecting the City’s relative job worth values, and proceed as in Approach A. We can provide the City with an automated version of the system once it has been developed with the task force.

HGCA PUBLIC SECTOR PERSONNEL CONSULTANTS 6/23
9 E. SURVEY AND COMPENSATION ANALYSIS

1. City Involvement in Compensation Plan Development
We will obtain policy direction from the Human Resources staff and/or City Officials on the following key components of the salary plan development process:
- Comparator Employer Selection - Job Evaluation Method-Salary Plan Linkage - Benchmark Job Class Selection - Draft Compensation Plan Review / Critique - Compensation Competitiveness Policy - Total Compensation Points for Analysis - Salary Structure Selection - Project Implementation Plan

2. Comprehensive Compensation Survey
We will collect the complete pay plans from each of the City’s comparators and build a custom survey database to ensure accuracy and completeness, unique to the City’s job classifications. a. Data Collection Protocol will be developed in consultation with the City’s project leaders to determine which salary data elements to include, such as:

Base Salary Information
- Salary grade/step or open range salary plan structure - Salary range structure Minimum, Midpoint, and Maximum - Method of salary administration – longevity, performance, or skill Benefits and Additional Compensation Information (option):
- City-supported benefits such as health insurance, pension contributions - Supplemental pay items for special qualifications/certifications - Individual or group incentive plans, bonus, awards, stipends - Any additional add-pay or benefits items at City’s direction b. Benchmark Job Selection will be made by identifying City job classes common to its employmentcompetitive public and private employers in the immediate area and throughout the region or State, clearly identifiable, and representative of standard occupational job groups. c. Comparator Employers Identification will be made in consultation with the City’s Project Manager(s) or City Council. Criteria include their degree of competition to the City in obtaining and retaining high quality staff, their location in the City's traditional recruitment areas, and their organizational size and complexity.
d. Compensation Data Collection will be made by one or more of the following methods. - Pre-survey contact with the selected comparator employers to solicit participation in the City’s compensation survey(s)
- Extraction from the pay plans of designated public employers. - Customized salary and additional total compensation and benefits survey requests for local governments and other public employers, distributed by mail, fax, and e-mail. - As desired, additional data extraction from established salary surveys and commercial survey sources such as ERI, etc.
e. Data Quality Control includes editing data for accuracy and proper matching to the City’s survey benchmark jobs, and phone/fax/E-mail follow-ups for data clarification and to obtain comparators’ benchmark job descriptions.

HGCA PUBLIC SECTOR PERSONNEL CONSULTANTS 6/23
10 3. Prevailing Rates Calculation
We will consolidate the compensation data from all sources, enter the information into the EZ COMP™ program, and compute the prevailing rates, inclusive of cost-of-living differentials, as the statistical mean of the survey data for each benchmark job class. Data will be projected forward from the date of collection to a common date relating to the City’s salary plan year by the annual Prevailing Rate Increase Factor (PRI) applicable at that time.

4. Compensation Competitiveness Comparison
We will provide the City with charts comparing its current salary structures to those of the selected public and private comparator employers. We will calculate the extent that the City’s offerings vary from the prevailing rates and practices of other relevant employers.

5. Compensation Competitiveness Policy
We will assist the City to select a compensation competitiveness policy which best fits its compensation strategy and financial resources, by providing fiscal impact estimates at various percentage relationships to the prevailing rates.

6. Salary Plan Structure Development
We will review the City’s current employee agreements and wage plans and 1) utilize the City’s current wage plan structures to identify internally equitable and externally competitive salary ranges for each City job class or 2) prepare alternative salary range structures and schedules for the City to select the best fit for its competitiveness strategy, with these optional criteria:
- Method of administration, i.e.: measured job performance, longevity, or skill - Width of the salary ranges, grades, or broad bands, from Minimum to Maximum - Varying salary range widths for FLSA non-exempt or exempt positions - Open salary ranges for pay-for-performance or variable compensation plan - If steps within the salary ranges, number of steps, percentage separation - Number of salary ranges, grades, or broad bands in the salary schedule - Percentage of separation between salary ranges, grades or broad bands - Recognition for longevity, unique assignments, and special skill requirements - Remuneration for required special licenses, certifications and registrations - Linkage of performance evaluations to performance increase opportunities

7. Salary Range Assignment Development
We will assign each job classification to a salary range in the City’s current or selected new salary structure on the basis of a combination of factors, including:
- the prevailing rates for the benchmark job classes
- its current relationship to similar or occupationally related job classes - the 15% guideline for salary range separation between sequential job classes - the 25% guideline for salary separation of a department head job class - its quantitative evaluated internal job worth value (job evaluation points)

8. Implementation Plan Development
We will consult with the Human Resources Manager and Project Team on a plan for transition to the recommended plan, including a timetable for the principal activities, employee communication, impact on bargaining processes, and estimates of required financial resources.

HGCA PUBLIC SECTOR PERSONNEL CONSULTANTS 6/23
11 F. FINAL REPORTS AND PRESENTATIONS

1. Draft and Final Report Preparation
We will provide the City’s project leader(s) with a draft of our report for review and critique, including the classification plan, FLSA designations, compensation market data, salary comparison tables, fiscal estimates, salary range listings, and implementation procedures. We will incorporate their critique into the development of a final report summarizing the project’s findings, recommendations, and detailed description of the City’s updated position classification and compensation plans.

2. Final Report Presentations
We will conduct a workshop or formal presentation of our final report and recommendations to the Human Resources staff, City Officials, and employees.

HGCA PUBLIC SECTOR PERSONNEL CONSULTANTS 6/23
12 H. EXTENSIVE EMPLOYEE INCLUSION AND COMMUNICATION
Very important factors for successful implementation of new or updated classification and compensation plans are 1) extensive employee inclusion, and 2) extensive employee communication. City officials and employees will participate in one or more of the following activities:
- Attending pre-project briefings and question and answer sessions - Completing a Position Analysis Questionnaire (PAQ) describing their position - Elaborating on their jobs in individual or group job information interviews - Requesting a second review of their position’s occupational job classification - Receiving information pamphlet/booklet describing the updated salary plan I.
