Task 4 –Design
Willdan will prepare a concept plan for the proposed sidewalk improvements, drainage improvements , street lighting and any striping layout revisions. In addition, the concept plans will identify deficient ADA ramp’s locations and non-compliant ADA path of travel. One concept plan will be included with up to two modifications, as directed by the City.
 Construction Documents
• Preliminary PS&E – 70% Stage
Willdan Engineering will prepare engineering plans at a scale of 1'=20’ for the Sidewalk Improvement plans. Plan sheets will include 2 panels per sheet. The base maps will show above and below ground facilities (based on field visits and utility as-builts research), all property lines and any other relevant features.

Based on our preliminary street strategies we anticipate the 70% design plans will include the following:
a. Title sheet (1 sheet)
b. Typical Sections, Details, Construction Notes (3 sheets) c. Improvement Plans at 1”=20’ (15 sheets)
Willdan will recommend and incorporate complete street elements and sustainable design elements on the sidewalk areas, roadways and at various intersections and crosswalk areas where appropriate.

Pavement design will be based on the City-provided pavement analysis, recent developments and coordinated with field observations. Existing utilities and surface elevations will be taken into consideration for the street cross sections.

We have considered the underground drainage structures, and we assume using natural earthen channel would be a viable solution due to existing shallow outlets and the existing San Diego Limited Right-of-Way

between Sanderson and Warren

16 City of Hemet CIP 5706 irrigation canal at the downstream end of the project and also to limit long term maintenance.

We will discuss these alternatives with the city during our preliminary plan development.

We also do not anticipate landscape improvement along the parkway width. If the City chooses to include landscape and irrigation improvements, Willdan can provide that as an optional task.

Willdan has extensive experience in developing landscape improvement concepts and design plans.

Willdan will perform hydrology calculations to determine the Q100 flow rate to design the proposed drainage improvements and hydraulic calculations to size the proposed drainage improvements. This information will be provided in a Hydrology and Hydraulic Report. All calculations will be performed per Riverside County Flood Control District standards.

The drainage facility is anticipated to be a drainage swale along the back of sidewalk as any underground drainage system such as pipes or boxes would be designed too low to drain into the existing above ground swale at the downstream end. We also are not anticipating the connection of any existing storm drain system at the intersection of W. Esplanade Ave and N.

Sanderson Ave as these facilities are not in the City of Hemet and they do not appear to drain to our project. Willdan will design the swale to transport the calculated Q100 flow. A review of the existing swale along the back of sidewalk at the development just east of Waren Rd will be reviewed to confirm if it is sized correctly. A drainage easement or right of way acquisition may be required to build the improvements.

Willdan will perform the required Stormwater Quality National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) calculations and design the required BMP’s. These calculations and designs are per The Santa Ana MS4 Permit in the portion of the Santa Ana River watershed located within Riverside County.

As part of the new sidewalk alignment, it is anticipated that a new LED street lighting system will be constructed along the entire south side of Esplanade Avenue between Warren Road and Sanderson Avenue. Willdan will prepare street lighting plans at a scale of 1" = 40' in AutoCAD format for the installation of LED streetlights including new conduit, conductors, pull boxes, and service pedestals along the proposed sidewalk based on City street lighting standards. Willdan will also coordinate new electrical service feed points with Southern California Edison (SCE) and prepare new service applications.
• Preliminary Engineer’s Estimate
The team will prepare a 70% level engineer’s estimate based on the 70% engineering plans and will use unit cost data using the information provided by the City, recent projects, and the Caltrans contract cost database.

Project Experience
Malvern Avenue Rehabilitation Project, Buena Park, CA. Project Manager. The 1.75-mile project provides three travel lanes in each direction along the northerly section and two travel lanes along the easterly section. Improvements included asphalt, curb ramps, curb and gutter, sidewalks and catch basins. Bike lanes were also installed at the completion of the improvements. Street rehabilitation strategies included cold-mill with ARHM overlay and/or full-depth reconstruction. During the field review for the preparation of the preliminary plan, Willdan identified sections to be reconstructed and non-compliant or missing ADA features; gutter replacements; and existing sidewalk, access ramp, and driveway issues. The 65%, 95% and 100% preliminary plans, specifications and estimate were prepared and submitted to the City.

Street Resurfacing/Improvements – Zone 2, City of El Monte, CA. Project Manager. The project will resurface over 8-1/2 miles of local streets in the northwest section of the city.

The adjacent properties are developed with primarily residential homes with a few churches, schools, and commercial uses. The project will involve three different resurfacing strategies – grind and overlay, cape seal, and slurry seal. Including the various pavement strategies provide an advantage to monitor the construction budget during the design process and revise the pavement strategies as necessary to maximize the pavement life of the improvements while keeping costs within the City’s construction budget.

Bastanchury Gap Closure, City of Yorba Linda, CA. Principal-in-Charge/Quality Assurance Manager responsible for ensuring availability of staffing resources and leading in-house quality assurance program efforts for the engineering efforts required for the street improvements. The scope of services for the street widening project. The widening accommodated four traffic lanes – two in each direction – along with Class II bike and parking lanes on each side of the roadway and a 10-foot striped center median. Sections of the roadway pavement were repaired or completely removed and replaced. New curb and gutter, signing, striping, traffic signal modification, street lighting, drainage improvements, and utility coordination were included in the design. Existing power poles along the north side of Bastanchury Road were relocated to the parkway and the final paving cap along the previously widened segment was incorporated into the improvement plans.

Willdan provided engineering design services, including preliminary engineering, surveying, and preparation of plans, specifications and estimates for assessment of the existing pavement conditions of identified streets, and provide recommendations for the Citywide Street Rehabilitation Project –Overlay and Reconstruction. Improvements for the project included pavement rehabilitation on various roadways segments, parkway improvements, such as reconstruction of existing damaged and uplifted concrete sidewalk, curb and gutter, and drive approaches.

Highland CDBG Overlay, City of Highland, CA. Project Manager. Provided design input and quality control for plans, specs, and estimates. Preparation of plans, specifications, and estimates (PS&E) for the resurfacing of Cunningham Street and McKinley Street from 9th Street to Base Line. The sidewalk, driveways, and curb & gutter were recently constructed as part of a Safe Route To Schools (SRTS) project, except for the west side of Cunningham Street.

Alpine Pedal Path, City of Big Bear Lake, CA. Project Manager. Willdan provided design services to the City of Big Bear expand City’s bike lanes and pedestrian walking facilities in the community for a safer and more user inviting travel option. This project segment (about 2050 feet in length) ran along the northerly parkway of Big Bear Blvd (SR 18) and in the easterly parkway intersecting Sandalwood Dr. It also completed a missing link at Stanfield Cutoff. The separate defined travel path for pedestrians and bicyclists reduced the potential for points of conflict with larger motor vehicles traveling at higher rates of speed. As the design progressed the potential need for temporary construction easements (TCE’s) or more permanent property acquisition were identified, and appropriate legal descriptions and exhibits were prepared for consideration.

Community Pavement and Parking Lots Rehabilitation and Striping, Canyon Lakes Property Owners Association, Canyon Lake, CA. Project Manager. Willdan provided engineering services to implement Arterial street and parking lot improvement. The pavement improvement locations include a 1,300-foot-long arterial street segment and 15 parking lots within the gated community.

The project improvements conform to ADA requirements including sidewalks and access ramps.

Sidewalk Master Plan, City of Laguna Beach, CA. Project Manager. Willdan is providing engineering services to prepare a Sidewalk Master Plan to plan how to budget and schedule sidewalk related projects for the future Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). A full assessment of the existing sidewalk will be produced to identify trip hazard, uplift, clear width and other deficiencies per ADA standards and to prepare a complete transition plan.

Willdan will perform additional assessment to supplement the preliminary data provided by the City by collecting necessary field data. Willdan will prepare a sidewalk assessment and update to the City's existing sidewalk Inventory in the preparation of a Sidewalk Management Plan. Once that is completed Willdan will utilize this plan to create an ADA transition plan which will prioritize and recommend a schedule for sidewalk maintenance and repairs. Once this is completed Willdan will produce a CIP for sidewalk related projects including PS&E for each annual projects.

TITLE:

A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Hemet, California, Awarding the Purchase for Ten Harris XL-200 Mobile Radios for $70,147.11 from Hi-Desert Communications and Authorizing the City Manager to Execute All Documents Related to the Agreement

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

It is respectfully recommended that the City Council:

Adopt a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Hemet, California, Awarding the Purchase for Ten Harris XL-200 Mobile Radios for $70,147.11 from Hi-Desert Communications and Authorizing the City Manager to Execute All Documents Related to the Agreement.

BACKGROUND:

On August 09, 2022, the Hemet City Council awarded the purchase of a 45 Foot Public Safety Mobile Command Center for the Amount of $1,199,976.50, from LDV Custom Specialty Vehicles. The Public Safety Mobile Command Center is currently being built and is in need of ten Harris XL-200 mobile radios which will be installed by LDV Custom Specialty Vehicles.

ANALYSIS:

The Public Safety Mobile Command Centers’ purpose is to be used in emergencies such as hostage negotiations, SWAT incidents, terrorist attacks, active shootings, and any natural disasters affecting the community. Having proper communication equipment, such as the Harris XL-200 mobile radios, in the Public Safety Mobile Command Center is an essential part of the up-fit. These radios will be installed throughout the different areas of the command center and at the two dispatcher consoles.

If approved, this project will include the following purchases:

Ten Harris XL-200 Mobile Radios capable of encrypted communication on the department's Public Safety Enterprise Communication (PSEC) radio network.

16.E

Upon approval, Ten Harris XL-200 Mobile Radios will be purchased from Hi-Desert Communications using current NASPO and HGAC competitively bid contract pricing. The radios will then be shipped directly to LDV Custom Specialty Vehicles where the Public Safety Mobile Command Center is currently being built.

DISCUSSION:

Approval of this recommendation will support the Police Department's goal to provide excellent service to the Hemet community and ensure the safety of community members and police officers.

STRATEGIC PLAN INTEGRATION:

GOAL ONE: QUALITY OF LIFE:

To ensure that Hemet is safe, clean, attractive and comfortable for all who live, work, and visit.

Objective 3: Increase Public Safety visibility and response.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Total Cost for Ten Harris XL-200 Mobile Radios $70,147.11

Funding Source: General Fund, Capital Outlay Account 110-3005-5400 Additional appropriations are not required for this purchase, allocations from FY 23-24 adopted budget will be used.

ALTERNATIVE(S):

The Hemet City Council may choose not to approve this purchase. The Public Safety Mobile Command Center will still be built but will lack an adequate communications center. Department staff could utilize existing issued hand-held radios, but the handheld radios do not perform at the level of the Harris XL-200 radios. Also, not all employees are issued handheld radios.

G ENERAL P LAN PROGRESS R EPORT
2 The City of Hemet General Plan establishes the fundamental policy framework to guide decisions related to land use and development, public services and facilities, public safety, resource management, recreation, culture, and the overall health and quality of life in the community. The General Plan presents a vision for the City's future, and embodies goals, policies, and strategies to turn that vision into a reality.

The City of Hemet adopted a comprehensive update to the General Plan on January 24, 2012 after an extensive community participation effort. The General Plan includes seven mandatory elements (Land Use, Circulation, Housing, Noise, Conservation, Open Space, and Safety) and five optional elements (Community Design, Community Services and Infrastructure, Recreation and Trails, Historic Resources, and Art and Culture.) Additionally, the General Plan compiles the activities, programs, and policies of the City that promote healthy living into a Sustainability Appendix.

Each of the elements describes i ts purpose, its issues and opportunities, the background information and context for the various topics in the element, its goals and policies, and the implementation programs needed to achieve those goals. Incorporated within each element was Hemet’s visi on for the future to create an economically sound and sustainable community with a diverse economy, expanded economic opportunities, and a balanced approach to business and development while meeting the housing, recreation, and quality of life needs of its residents.

I. PURPOSE OF THE GENERAL PLAN ANNUAL REPORT
California Government Code Section 65400 mandates that cities and counties submit an annual progress report (APR) on the General Plan and progress on its implementation to City Council, the Governor’s O ffice of Planning and Research (OPR) and the Housing and Community Development Department (HCD) each year.

This document fulfills that mandate and was reviewed by the Planning Commission at its meeting of April 18, 2023 and approved by the City Council at its meeting of May 9, 2023. The previous General Plan Compliance Report submitted to the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR) incorporated data from the period of April 2 019 to December 2021. The current report will include a period of Decembe r 2021 to December 2023.

The main purpose of the annual progress report (APR) is to provide City Council with an update of the City’s progress in implementing its General Plan vision. This annual assessment grants to City Council an opportunity to adjust or modify its policies or approach to implementation to ensure that the City meets its stated vision. A secondary purpose of the APR is to fulfill housing element statutory requirements regarding the City’s progress in meeting its share of regional housing needs and its efforts to remove governmental constraints to the development of housing in accordance with Government Code Section 65584.3(c) and 65584.5(b)(5). These have separate reporting requirements and forms, which have been submitted electronically by the City prior to April 1
st of each year.

To assist in the review of the General Plan Progress Report, this report presents the following information:
• Amendments to the General Plan adopted by the City since the comprehensive update in 2012. • Required and proposed amendments to the General Plan that will need to be prepared within the near- term.
• Demographic and development changes that update the City’s community profile.

3 • General Plan implementation programs that have been completed, are in-progress, or are an on-going activity of the City.
• General Plan implementation programs that have not yet been initiated, but are recommended for initiation within the next year, or as City resources are available.

II. ADOPTED GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENTS
State law allows the General Plan to be amended four times annually. This allows the General Plan to remain a current document responsive to the community’s needs. Requests for amendments may be submitted by individuals or initiated by the City. Amendments to the Hemet General Plan for the time period of April 2012 through December 2020 are listed in Table 1.

III. PROPOSED GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENTS
From 2021-2023, there are at least three General Plan Amendments that need to be prepared for consideration by the City Council , pursuant to State law. The city is actively working with a consultant to prepare these updates. On January 25, 2022, the City Council approved General Plan Amendment No. 21 -001, updating General Plan 11 (Housing Element) for the 2021 -2029 6th Cycle. The adopted housing element has been submitted to the California Department of Housing & Community Development (HCD) for final certification.

1. Amend the Public Safety Element (In Progress). In 2018, the State passed Senate Bill No. 1035 which requires the Public Safety Element to be reviewed not less than once every eight years and revised as necessary to address climate change and resiliency strategies. The intention is to identify new information relating to flood, fire, and other climate hazards not available during the previous revision of the safety element.
• On May 22, 2022 the City held a Public Workshop to provide information about the amendments to the City of Hemet General Plan. A copy of the meeting video is provided in the link below. Additional outreach has included posting of survey on the City of Hemet updates. Staff has been working with the Department of Life Safety, Hemet Police Department, and the California Department of F orestry (CAL FIRE) on preparation of the draft text amendments which will be presented to the City Council in the summer of 2024.

G ENERAL P LAN PROGRESS R EPORT
5 2. Update the Housing Element (2021-2029) (In Progress). State legislation passed in 2017 and 2018, added new requirements for the Cycle 6 Housing Elements, which are required to be adopted by Southern California jurisdictions in 2021. Key features for the Housing Element update include:
• The proposed update is a comprehensive statement of the City’s housing policies and serves as a guide for the implementation of these policies. As required by state law, the update examines current housing needs, estimates future housing needs, and establishes goals, policies, and programs pertaining to those needs while demonstrating the capacity to accommodate the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) al location of 6,466 new housing units. The RHNA allocation is broken down into very low -, low-, moderate-, and above moderate-income categories based on the most current Median Family Income (MFI) for Riverside County. The City’s RHNA allocation for each income category includes 812 very low-income, 732 low -income, 1,174 Moderate-Income, and 3,748 Above Moderate -Income residential units. Housing programs are responsive to current and future needs and established within the context of available community, state, and federal economic and social resources, realistic quantified housing objectives, and affirmatively furthering fair housing (AFFH). •
On January 25, 2022, the City Council approved an update to General Plan Chapter 11 (Housing Element) for the 2021-2029 6th Cycle Housing Element Cycle. Since then, the City has been actively working with the California Department Housing and Community Development (HCD) on final certification of the document.
• Table 9 of this report provides progress and status of the Housing Element Implementation Programs.

3. Addition of a new Environmental Justice Element (In Progress). In 2016, the State passed Senate Bill No. 1000 requiring cities and counties that have “ disadvantaged communities” to incorporate environmental justice policies in their General Plans, either in a separate element or throughout the other elements. This update must happen upon the adoption or next revision of two or more elements concurrently. The City of Hemet does contain disadvantaged communities as defined by State law and shown in Figure 1 below. A “Disadvantaged community” means an area identified by the California Environmental Protection Agency (CalEPA) pursuant to Section 39711 of the Health and Safety Code or an area that is a low-income area that is disproportionately affected by environmental pollution and other hazards that can lead to negative health effects, exposure, or environmental degradation. (Gov.

Code, § 65302, subd. (h)(4)(A)). The Environmental Justice Element will establish objectives that:

• Help improve air quality, food access, safe and sanitary homes, physical activity, and public facilities.
• Improve public facilities access
• Promote physical activity
• Encourage civic engagement in the public decision-making process. • Nurture education opportunities
• Foster economic growth
• Preserve culture
• Prioritize improvements and programs that address the needs of disadvantaged communities.

• The draft Environmental Justice Element will be presented to the City Council for consideration in the summer of 2024.

7 IV. COMMUNITY PROFILE UPDATE
Hemet’s future is linked to its growth. Long -range planning can ensure continuity between development and the community’s vision, goals, and policies. New patterns of development can sustain and enhance Hemet’s economic viability and livability. To assist decisionmakers in its General Plan review and analysis, this section presents a record of Hemet’s growth since adoption of the comprehensive update in 2012. The data in Tables 2 through 5 is taken from multiple data sources, including the 2013 and 2019 Community Profiles prepared by the Southern California Association of Governments and the United States Census Bureau American Community Survey (ACS) 5-Year Estimate Data Profiles for 2022, and Estimates E-5 Department of Finance, and United States Census Bureau Quick Facts 2023, and California State Income Limits 2023, and Data Quest for school enrollment data to allow for a direct side by side comparison. The tables provide statistics on population and household characteristics for Hemet, education and employment characteristics, and job sector characteristics, respectively. Please note, where marked in x identifies data not released by source for 2022.

V. HOUSING ELEMENT PROGRESS
State law requires that each jurisdiction in California include a Housing Element in its General Plan that establishes specific actions, objectives, and timelines for meeting its State mandated Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) for each income level . The RHNA is provided to jurisdictions in eight -year cycles. The current cycle is Cycle 6, which covers the time period of 20 21 through 2029. Every year the city prepares an annual Housing Element Progress Report that it submits to California Housing & Community Development (HCD) and State Office of Planning and Research (OPR). For historical context, s hown in Table 6 on the following page is the City’s progress in meeting the RHNA Cycle 5 (October 15, 2013, to October 15, 2021).

Table 7 of the following page is the City’s progress in meeting the current RHNA Cycle 5 (October 15, 2021 to October 15, 2029). Table 9 reports on the City’s progress in implementing its housing related programs, taken from the Summary of the 2022 Housing Element Annual Report. The 2022 Housing Element Annual Report also includes newly required data on the number of applications submitted to the City production of housing units, the number of applications that were approved by the Planning Commission or City Council, and the number of building permits that were issued. The intention is to monitor whether cities are limiting housing production through its approval processes by comparing the number of housing units applied for to the number of housing units that were constructed. T able 8, shows that 5,212 residential units have been approved for development and are in the development pipeline. The development pipeline could include units completed, under construction, in plan check review, or pending approval.

The Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) Program
was designed to provide a permanent source of funding to all local governments in California to help cities and c ounties implement plans to increase the affordable housing stock. The County intends to allocate 20% of the f unds towards a down payment assistance program and 80% of the funds towards development of new affordable housing units.

The City of Hemet is partnering with the Riverside County Housing Authority’s Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) Program.

The City of Hemet advertises, online and at City Hall, the availability of grant funding for lower income households who need financial assistance to make repairs and improvements.

It addresses a range of issues and policies that directly affect every aspect of community life. The City implements its General Plan vision, goals, and policies through the use of many programs, projects, and tools. These implementation measures ensure the overall direction set forth in the General Plan is translated from general ideas into action, and the City’s vision for its future is met. The City has made significant progress in completing its ambitious implementation agenda as shown in Table 10. Implementation programs recommended for initiation in the upcoming year are discussed in Section VII.

Table 10 shows the status of the programs by completed, in-progress, or on-going. The difference between “in- progress” and “on-going” is that projects that are in-progress will be completed at some point in the future and programs that are on-going are part of the daily operations of the City.

Councilmember Travel & Expense Reimbursement
Policy
Effective Date Revision Date City Manager Approval Department March 26, 2024 Councilmembers
PURPOSE:

The following travel and expense reimbursement policy is only available to City Councilmembers paid through the City’s Accounts Payable and is not applicable to Employees, Commissioners, or Contractors.

The City recognizes the constructive value of professional conferences, meetings, and training, which directly pertain to the position and program responsibilities of City Councilmembers. As such, the City will provide for travel and expense funds within the City Council budget for use by Councilmembers who attend approved events.

Councilmembers should plan conferences and overnight travel in advance within each budget cycle to ensure that the necessary funds are available.

City Councilmembers are responsible for exercising good judgment in requesting, arranging, and making a trip. Trips should be thoroughly planned well in advance. The City will not pay for personal expenses that coincide with official business or training.

It is the intent of the City to assure compliance with IRS regulations. Reimbursements of business-related expenses paid to Councilmembers are generally tax-free; however, Councilmembers must substantiate the expenses with supporting documentation; i.e. itemized receipts, parking stubs, etc. A detailed record of all reimbursable expenses incurred during the travel must be submitted on the attached Travel Expense Form. Receipts are not required for meals or incidentals, instead, Councilmembers will be paid the current M&IE rates according to the current GSA schedule, adjusted for higher cost of living areas in the travel destination, when applicable.

This policy provides the required guidelines that City Councilmembers must follow when arranging travel, lodging, and other approved expenses. Reimbursement of reasonable expenses for travel, conferences, meetings, and meals will be made, subject to the procedures contained in this Article. Also, this policy is intended to ensure that payments made by the City are limited to actual and necessary expenses incurred while conducting City business.

This policy is not intended to address every issue, exception, or contingency that may arise in

16.H

the course of City travel. Accordingly, the basic standard that should always prevail is to exercise good judgment in the use and stewardship of the City’s resources.

RESPONSIBILITY:
• Councilmembers:
•Read, understand, and follow the standards and procedures. •Observe established limits on business travel.
•City Manager:
•Ensure Councilmembers adhere to policies and procedures. •Finance Division:
•Update the policy, disclosure process, and control procedures as necessary. •Provide Councilmembers and the City Manager with counsel and guidance appropriate to comply with the policy.
•Determine appropriate control measures to properly manage conflicts. •Establish and communicate business courtesy guidelines to meet various applicable legal standards.

General Requirements:

Travel and reimbursement of necessary expenses incurred by Councilmembers in the course of official City business are authorized according to the following guidelines.

Councilmembers are to make every effort to minimize travel and meeting expenses by utilizing the least expensive method of travel. Travel arrangements shall be made as far in advance as possible to take advantage of discounted or reduced fares and rates.

The City’s travel policy is considered to be a “Per Diem Plan” which is mirrored to that of the IRS’ Per Diem Plan that establishes set allowance for meals and incidental expenses based on travel time and location. With this policy, the Councilmember may choose from two different options to receive funding: advance or reimbursement.

Under the Per Diem Plan, the City adheres to the guidelines set forth by the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA). For specific rates and details refer directly to their website, http://www.gsa.gov/portal/content/104877.

The City recognizes the following activities as appropriate for travel purposes:
•Delivery of legislative testimony
•Court proceedings or case preparation
•As a stipulation or condition of grant funding or otherwise required for state or federal certification
•Presentation on behalf of the City at a conference or seminar •Financial or tax audit
•Attendance at conferences, meeting, seminars or training sessions for which all criteria below is met:
oThe topic is of critical interest to the City
oThe topic is related to a Councilmember’s professional development oRepresentation at the event is in the best interest of the City and is based on reasonably relevant and ethical subject matter
Per Diem Advances:

The City has elected a fixed date method as the basis of a reasonable period of time. In the situation when a Councilmember must travel on City business over multiple days, the Councilmember may submit for a Per Diem Advance through the City’s Accounts Payable

16.H

fifteen (15) to thirty (30) days prior to the event. In the event short notice is given for training availability, a Councilmember may submit for a Per Diem Advance as late as the last Accounts Payable cycle prior to the training with Administrative Services Director approval. Otherwise, the Councilmember will need to submit for reimbursement. Reimbursement requests must be submitted no later than thirty (30) days after the event. The Councilmember will receive a check for the pre-determined GSA rates for their meals and incidental expenses. Incidental fees will only be granted on day of overnight travel.

Per Diem costs for Councilmembers traveling out-of-town on City business shall be allowed when meals are not already provided by the event host and included with event registration at no additional cost. If it is determined that an event hosted meal only includes a continental breakfast, hors d’oeuvres, or appetizers, the Councilmember may request per diem in place of these servings, but will have to provide documented information showing that the serving provided by the event host does not include a full meal.

The request for a Per Diem Advance must include a copy of event’s agenda and the Per Diem rate for the travel area as stated on the GSA website.

If the Councilmember doesn’t utilize the full amount of the pre-determined GSA rates, there is nothing further required. However, if the Councilmember exceeds the pre-determined GSA rates, they will not be reimbursed for the difference.

If the Councilmember cancels prior to the event date but has already received the advanced funds, the Councilmember will be responsible for immediate reimbursement to the City either by cash, personal check, money order, or an agreed upon payroll deduction.

Travel Reimbursements:

In the event a Councilmember needs reimbursement for receipts submitted, the same rules and limits will apply.

This means that the Councilmember will submit a Request for Payment through the City’s Accounts Payable, submitting all itemized receipts and required documents to be reimbursed for the actual expenses incurred up to the maximum amount allowed per this policy.

Reimbursements will not be granted for missing or non-itemized receipts. It is the Councilmember’s responsibility to obtain proper receipts at all times.

These expenses must be substantiated within Thirty (30) days after the expense is paid or incurred.

Meals and Incidental Expenses:

Councilmembers will receive the pre-defined GSA per diem rate for allowable meals and incidental expenses (M&IE). The rate structure is based on the destination city/county in which the Councilmember will be traveling. The national standard rate at the time of travel per day for M&IE with 75% allowed for the first day and last day of travel.

Rates include gratuity.

Councilmembers that travel out of town for one-day seminars where the time away from their official station is less than 12 hours are not eligible for meal reimbursements. If Councilmembers are away from their official station for more than 12 hours, they are entitled to 75% of the prescribed meals and incidentals expenses for one day.

Lodging:

The City adheres to the guidelines set forth by the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA).

For specific rates refer directly to their website, http://www.gsa.gov/portal/content/104877.

16.H

Lodging is allowed for attendance at conferences, seminars, or meetings. Individuals are expected to stay at a hotel or motel in close proximity to the conference or event site. Lodging shall be obtained at the most economical rate available for good quality. Lavish or oversized accommodations are not justified. Whenever possible, Councilmembers should seek comparable but less expensive accommodations, and if available, request the “Government Rate.” If lodging is in connection with a conference, lodging expenses must not exceed the group rate published by the conference sponsor for the meeting in question if such rates are available at the time of booking. The City will pay for a single room (including taxes and parking) for as many nights as necessary.

Pre-conference lodging shall be granted for regional sites, e.g. Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco, Sacramento, if the conference starts on or before nine (9) o’clock in the morning.

Lodging costs for the night after the event will not be reimbursed. Lodging costs will not normally be approved for one-day meetings or programs when the event is within a reasonable commuting distance; less than fifty (50) miles from the Councilmembers’ home or City Hall, whichever is closest.

Lodging arrangements can be paid for in advance by submitting a Request for Payment to Accounts Payable. Itemized receipts must be submitted with the Travel Expense Form. Please note that some businesses will not accept check for payment and in these situations the Councilmember can use their personal credit card to authorize the reservations and request for reimbursement through Accounts Payable.

A Councilmember canceling reservations shall do so according to the hotel’s policy in order to avoid charges. The City does not reimburse for unused reservations, early departure, or late cancelation charges.

A Councilmember may stay with a friend or relative while attending an out-of-town meeting or conference; however, the City will not reimburse the Councilmember for any payment made to the friend or relative for lodging, meals or transportation.

Air Travel:

Councilmembers should select the most cost-effective manner to secure the airline reservations. Internet reservations can be made using the Councilmember’s personal credit card. Individuals will be reimbursed for pre-approved reservations made on their personal credit card after they submit a detailed receipt of the charges.

When the use of public air carrier transportation is approved, travel for all personnel shall be in coach class or equivalent service. Private automobile used to and from the airport shall be reimbursed for all miles, in excess of the Councilmember’s commute to City Hall, at the prevailing IRS established mileage rate. Councilmembers are expected to use the most cost- effective, long-term airport parking option available.
•If a Councilmember wishes to drive rather than fly to a destination outside of the normal range, they may be authorized to do so, with the following provisions: The City will reimburse the Councilmember the lesser of the mileage rate to and from the site, or the amount of advance purchase airline coach fare.
•No reimbursement will be made for other mileage or transportation expenses incurred during the trip, including fuel, vehicle repairs, or other normal personal vehicle related expenses.
•The City will not reimburse for excess baggage fees if not related to City business.

Rental Cars:

16.H

Rental cars are approved only when such rental is necessary due to geographical location of airport or accommodations in relation to a conference or meeting site, when other local group conveyance transportation is unavailable and/or when a rental car is the most economical means of accomplishing travel to the final destination. When possible, use of an airport or hotel shuttle is encouraged.

When a rental car is used, the Councilmember shall be limited to a compact or mid-size vehicle.

Under certain circumstances, exceptions may be made to safely accommodate the number of personnel traveling. If gasoline is purchased for the rental vehicle, the Councilmember shall keep receipts for reimbursement.

Councilmembers should utilize the City’s corporate account with an approved rental car company, if available, to secure the most cost-effective car reservations. Internet reservations can be made using the Councilmember’s personal credit card. Individuals will be reimbursed for pre-approved reservations made on their personal credit card after they submit a detailed receipt of the charges.

The City is self-insured for vehicle liability, third party physical damage and provides for workers’ compensation coverage, therefore, the insurance coverage through the rental agency should be waived. When completing the rental agency contract, sign as the City, not as an individual, for example: [City of Hemet, CA, by (your name)].

Councilmembers are required to notify the City’s Administrative Service Director a n d City Manager immediately or within 24 hours of any event, incident, or accident related to the rental vehicle.

Private Automobile:

Automobile mileage is reimbursable if a Councilmember is required to use a personal vehicle for travel out of City of Hemet city limits, while on City business. Reimbursement for personal auto usage for business will be calculated using the current Internal Revenue Service (IRS) guidelines.

Councilmembers should submit for reimbursement within the time frame detailed in this policy.

When utilizing a private vehicle for the convenience of the Councilmember, instead of more economical travel by air, reimbursement shall not exceed the amount of advance airline fare purchase.

Councilmembers are required to notify the City’s Administrative Services Director and City Manager immediately or within 24 hours of any event, incident or accident while traveling on City business.

Conference Registration Fees:

Councilmembers are expected to arrange conference attendance sufficiently in advance to obtain any registration discounts that may be offered. Registration fees can be paid directly by submitting a Request for Payment form to Accounts Payable fifteen (15) to thirty (30) days prior to the date of the event.

Telecommunication Costs:

On authorized travel, necessary business-related Internet connection for the use of City-issued laptop computers, fax services, photocopying, mail services, or internet service may be reimbursed. Reimbursable internet access connection and/or usage fees may not exceed $15.00 per day.

Miscellaneous Expenses:

Spouses and guests are allowed to accompany the Councilmember on City travel and at conferences, seminars, and meetings when using public or private transportation; however, spouses and guests are not allowed to accompany the Councilmember in a City vehicle. The City will not pay the costs of a Councilmember’s spouse or guest who is attending an event on behalf of the City. Any additional costs associated with the participation of the spouse or other guests are the Councilmember’s responsibility. This includes any increased room rate due to double occupancy.
