FROM: Nick Wells, City Manager 23-02 #
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 25-05 Adopting a Revised 2024-25 Salary Schedule ISSUE: calling for an election to be conducted by the
Shall the City Council approve Resolution No. 25-05, Adopting a Revised 2024-25 Salary Schedule? DISCUSSION:

Although the City's Salary Schedule was formally adopted per standard practice for the current fiscal year prior to its July 1 start a recent unanticipated change in the California Minimum Wage required a midyear change.

The salary schedule has not been changed significantly for this adoption, although listed below are some changes of which you should be aware:

1. Step F for the "Public Works Supervisor" and "Fire Chief" positions have been adjusted upward to reflect the minimum threshold change for Salaried Exempt employees under the California Minimum Wage Law change.

2. All positions at the lower end of the Schedule (Range 17 and below) have been adjusted upward to comply with the minimum wage change, primarily affecting Part-Time Firefighters.

3. Step F for the "Public Works Supervisor" and "Fire Chief" positions have been adjusted upward to reflect the minimum threshold change for Salaried Exempt employees under the California Minimum Wage Law change.

4. An additional change adds a Part Time position at Range 10 for Wastewater Treatement Plant Operator in Training. For several years, the City has utiliized a temp service to staff a position to receive septage waste at the WWTP. Changes in the minimum wage and benefits have caused the cost of that function to rise significantly. It is estimated that directly hiring a part time employee will save the City in excess of $12,500 annualy.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The primary General Fund impact is in Fire, wherein basically all employee hours will include $.50 additional compensation. This can vary greatly due to overtime, however, Regular Time hours would equate to approximately $3,750 in additional expenditures, plus employer taxes.

Multiple employees at the lower end of the Salary Schedule will be elevated to the new pay rate, however, in all cases these employees are months from a Step increase that would have taken them above the current Minimum Wage.

The effect to the Sewer Enterprise with the conversion of a position from management under a temp service to a City employee is described above to potentially save $12,500 per year. 02/24/25

FROM: Nick Wells, City Manager 23-02 #
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 25-06 Designating the City Manager as the City's Authorized Agent for Caltrans Agreements
ISSUE: calling for an election to be conducted by the
Shall the City Council approve Resolution No. 25-06, designating the City Manager as its authorized agent, empowering him to execute all necessary documents to comply with funding requirements for the State of California's SB 2 Planning Grant program? DISCUSSION:

In conjunction with the W Ninth Street Improvements Project, which will soon construct pedestrian improvements with incidental street widening along Ninth Street between Olive and Melon Avenues, it was necessary to underground the open Pear Canal section along the north side of that roadway. The City had been working with the IID for sometime to complete that change, which was the final section of that waterway to be covered, the culmination of multiple projects over decades to improve walkability and safety in Holtville.

Subsequent to the discussion of the project and the onset of design, IID applied for and was granted Congressional funding for the project in the amount of $871,280. A complication developed when it was revealed that the funding needed to be run through a state agency, which was designated as Caltrans. As IID does not work with Caltrans on an ongoing basis, no standing agreement exists between those entities. As the City maintains a master agreement with Caltrans through the funding of frequent streets projects in our jurisdiction, an agreement was made to transfer administration of the project to the City.

Due to the unique nature of this particular funding, Caltrans is requiring a separate resolution designating an individual to sign documents regarding the project and disbursement of funds.

ADMINISTRATION
Public Safety Lot/New Construction – Rubio Medina of Irvine, California was engaged in April, 2023, to perform Architecture services to design Phase I (Fire Apparatus Bay) and Phase II (PS Administration & Fire Dormitories) of this project. Staff met with Mr. Medina multiple times in early May, wherein iterative documents were discussed and revised. Pursuant to discussions between Council, Chief Silva, the CM and Mr. Medina regarding configuration, direction solidified for constructing a 3-bay apparatus section and a 2- story administration/residence area. Further discussion also clarified the placement of the building on the site and the external motif of the building. Mr. Medina moved forward with subconsultants for plumbing, electrical, HVAC, etc. Due to an increase in the size of the project over that which was called out in the RFP, the architect has approached the City about augmented funding, which may be brought to Council in the future. More solid delineation of cost estimates for the phasing of the project were presented in August and presented to Council for consideration. A status update meeting with Mr. Medina was held via Zoom in late January. Chief Silva and the CM got an update, wherein Medina estimated submission of plans for first plan check to be middle to late February. Chief Silva has continued to meet virtually with the architect and subconsultants on various issues over the past few weeks.

Staff met with representatives of USDA Rural Development in late 2024 to discuss financing the remaining unfunded portion of the project. Unfortunately, although their website notes capability of disadvantaged communities with populations under 12,000 to apply for 50% grant, 50% loan funding, that program is capped at $50,000 for grants, so any hope that grant funding may be available is not there. Rates were adjusted on October 1, from 4% down to 3.75%, so the loan payment calculation improved, but not drastically.

Multiple conversations regarding augmented funding have taken place with staff, Council, and various entities. The CM compiled information from various sources and submitted an application for directed Congressional funding to Raul Ruiz’s office in early May. The City received word that the project was selected by the Congressman and recommended to the Congressional budget committee. Although we received word that the project is on track to receive some funding, the amount projected to be received will likely be a fraction of the amount requested, so sizing the project down is probably on the horizon.

Staff continues to pursue additional funding sources. At the 2024 League of Cities Annual Conference, Mayor Anderson, Councilman Goodsell and the CM had multiple conversations with firms and organizations that show promise as potential funding sources. One salient proposal was received on which Council requested further research. A representative of that firm met with staff onsite in January, then spoke with Council at the meeting that evening. The firm, CrisCom Company, was engaged in February to represent the City in pursuing funding. A two-year agreement was approved.

PUBLIC WORKS

TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS
Citywide Pavement Maintenance Project – a Streets Assessment report was prepared by the City Engineer earlier this year reporting the general condition of the over 16 miles of streets maintained by the City. Nearly all of the system is in good condition, requiring maintenance rather rehabilitation or construction. A recommendation has been made to perform crack sealing and slurry coat to the bulk of the system to prolong life of the system and forestall major work to a future date. At the July Council meeting, direction was given to proceed with preparation of specifications for the project. In October, Council approved moving the project forward with advertisement for construction bidding. Bids were received in early December and the low bidder, American Asphalt South, was approved by Council. A pre-construction meeting was held in late January. Crack sealing work began on Tuesday, 1/28, and continues throughout the City.

Pear Canal Undergrounding/Ninth Street Improvements (Olive to Melon) – Initial action to proceed with this project was taken in early 2021. A deposit was forwarded to IID to begin design and multiple site visits with staff, the IID and City Engineer took place to discuss issues that needed to be addressed in design.

Undergrounding work was scheduled to take place in December 2021, however, delays were discussed in those meetings from the IID side which eventually led to construction work being pushed back.

IID had procured Congressional funding for the project that the City was asked to administer. Late in the process, it was relayed to staff that by taking on administration of the funding, the City would now be responsible for paying the 11.47% matching funds necessary for the grant, which could be in the neighborhood of $100k. Nevertheless, an agreement was approved with IID to administer the funding in October. The closing financial paperwork with Caltrans remains.

The City was awarded funding through ICTC for the resulting necessary sidewalk and roadway improvements early in the process. LC Engineering was awarded the contract for design in February, 2024.

Delays with the undergrounding project pushed back the start of the sidewalk project, necessitating a time extension. A web conference was held in September to clarify the need to move a portion of the funding for the street project into the current fiscal year. With the undergrounding project complete, staff will prepare an RFP to begin the construction of the curb, gutter and sidewalk, along with the minor pavement necessary to widen the roadway. Staff began discussion with the City Engineer in January to develop the RFP for this project for release in February.

Pine Avenue Sidewalks – Subsequent to the awards of funding for streets projects utilizing Federal Highways dollars through ICTC in early 2022, another year of projects was quickly requested to be added.

Holtville submitted a project to capture CMAQ dollars to add sidewalks to either side of Pine Avenue between Fourth and Fifth Streets. Action to approve was taken in October, 2023. Staff began discussion with the City Engineer this week to develop a Design RFP for this project for release in February.

Capital Improvements Project Listing – a meeting was held in November, 2023, with staff, including the City Manager, City Engineer, City Planner and Water/Wastewater Lead Operator to discuss long term capital improvements needed in the City. Water system improvements, sewer system upgrades, streets projects and other issues were discussed and expected to be further explored. A more complete detailing of the discussion will be presented to the Council in the near future. Council has requested that this issue be moved up in the queue and this be addressed shortly.

PARKS
Railroad Trestle Repair – A grant was secured from the California Natural Resources Agency to repair the railroad trestle burned in a river bottom fire several years ago. This is necessary to connect the Trail to east side of the river and eventually the future Wetlands area. After over a decade and a half of being somewhat unsightly and unusable, the trestle will soon be fixed cosmetically and usable for pedestrian and non-motorized traffic. Documentation was finally signed for this grant in late October, 2021. The City Engineer completed the technical specification for the Scope of Work in June 2022 for the RFP. A decision was made to forestall the bid process a bit to allow construction costs to stabilize. Eventually, Kleinfelder, Inc., was selected for Design services in April. A meeting with the design team was held in early May wherein various facets of the project were discussed. Ginger Ward volunteered to sit in on meetings for this project when possible, so she and staff met multiple times with the design team via Zoom to discuss design concepts.

Multiple ideas to control costs and stretch the project dollars were decided upon. The decision was made to proceed with the general direction of keeping the original character of the structure, while making concessions to keep costs under control.

A January update meeting between the Design team, the City Planner and the CM revealed that the project had stalled due to a needed topographical study that the consultant thought the City would provide. After discussion, Kleinfelder engaged a local consultant to produce the document and the project is back in motion.

Pursuant to a periodic plan check, reprioritization of the elements to be completed vis a vis available funding was amended in May. Kleinfelder provided 90% plans in late September, so this phase nears completion.

Included in that plan set were construction estimates. After some analysis, staff will be bringing this to Council to approve advertising and bidding. THG reviewed the plans and sent them back to Kleinfelder for clarification and/or correction. The revised plans were resubmitted and further comments were sent back by THG. 95% plans were received on Monday, 2/10, with some minor adjustments still needed. The project will likely go to bid within the next month.

Holtville East Trail Link - The City Manager had multiple discussions in recent years about a Trail extension from the Trestle to the Country Club area, then to the UC Research station and eventually to Hwy 111 for easier access to IVC with active transportation funding options. The idea has been well received by SCAG staff and the head of County Public Works. An application for Active Transportation funding was developed in mid-2024 and a grant application was submitted in June to fund design of the project.

Mellinger Alamo River Trail - A grant was awarded in early 2024 to River Partners, a non-profit that deals in habitat restoration, for a project that would include a Wetlands trail spur. RP met with the City Manager and toured the site, then engaged Nicklaus Engineering to design the project. Staff was contacted by NEI in March to discuss design elements. River Partners staff continued to meet with the CM throughout the Spring and early Summer, performing a few physical “scouting” trips to decide the best path for the trail extension. They have done some preliminary exploration and soil sampling and continue to move the project forward. A tentative map was forwarded to the City this week. The original template is aggressive (i.e. “Expensive”), so it is assumed that discussions and concessions will be forthcoming. River Partners presented a slightly revised plan to the Council in early October to get feedback on the direction of the project. Staff met virtually with River Partners in mid-December, with some minor adjustments to the plans discussed. A regrouping meeting was held in February – we are awaiting a few studies to proceed with the next steps in finalizing design and procuring funding.

BUILDING DEPT - The City has issued 13 building permits in 2025. A list of permits issued by month is available on the City’s website at https://www.holtville.ca.gov/building-planning/building-and-planning/buildingdepartment/ 4 City Council/CM Reports (02-24’25)
Melon, LLC Housing Project (± 50) – A project has been in the works for some time at the northeast corner of Ninth and Melon, just outside the City limits. After years of confusion regarding the process, the project’s ownership group, led by John Hawk, engaged Development Design & Engineering in 2016 to assist in moving the project along. DD&E completed CEQA compliance, and a Mitigated Negative Declaration was adopted by the Planning Commission and City Council in late 2020.

The project was presented at the Planning Commission in October 2020 and drew a good deal of public opposition. PC action pushed the project forward with a designation of allowing R-1 or R-2 development, with Council accepting the PC recommendation in November, 2020. The denser R-2 zoning designation would allow up to 8 units per acre or approximately 65 units. The annexation was approved by LAFCo in February, 2021. We await further submission from the project proponent.

Staff spoke with Mr. Hawk multiple times to remind him that there are still several requirements to move his project forward, which he could be doing concurrently with the preparation and construction of the IID and City improvements. He said he will be speaking to his partners. As the undergrounding and street work are imminent, he still needs to produce a site plan, building plans, pull permits, etc. The City’s project should now have no bearing on his timeline. This was reiterated to Mr. Hawk again in January and again in July. A conversation with Mr. Hawk in early October revealed that he is still pursuing developer investment.

AMG Sunset Rose Senior Apartments (± 33) – In July, 2022, the City was granted HOME funding for this AMG & Associates apartment project, proposed in the area of Third and Grape. This will create some longterm oversight by the City, but it does continue to add housing. A subdivision map was approved for the property. A consultant to administer this grant was engaged in May, 2022, and an application for additional subsidized financing was approved by the City in late November.

A pre-submittal meeting was held in early November to discuss necessary aspects to the construction with the project proponent, including offsite improvements. Much of the discussion centered on handling stormwater. Final map and the necessary proposed lot split were approved in late February as well. Since the closing of the financing, several paperwork/compliance issues cropped up that the City was left to work on.

This was not the “deal” as originally presented, so staff sought assistance. Staff met with HCD representatives on this project in October. We are hoping they will assist in working with the contractor to get the project running more smoothly.

Start was delayed as construction bids came in significantly over projections. The developer had made a drawdown on funding, however, the ownership group has been somewhat unresponsive as the project sat in limbo for some time. An extension on their CUP was requested and was granted by Planning Commission in May, 2024, then a pre-construction meeting with the developer and City was finally held in January. A foundation has been poured and vertical construction is in progress with the Building Inspector is overseeing.

AMG Pine Crossing Apartments (± 64) – This is a proposed mirror image project across from Fern Crossing complex. The Building Inspector and City Engineer have coordinated with a plan check firm on the plans that were first submitted in June. After a few iterations and resubmissions, the building plans were approved in early October. AMG is still working with The City Engineer and staff on finalizing all site work and off-site plans for utilities and stormwater handling. Dirt work on the project has begun. Staff met with the City Engineer to discuss issues with handling of stormwater for the property multiple times. A property boundary issue has surfaced with the lot to the north that will require examination. A phone conference was held with the developer and staff and discuss some issues regarding requirements of the City.

Peri & Sons Ag Labor Housing (66) – this project was introduced to Planning Commission earlier this week. It proposes to construct USDA-approved dormitory style housing for up to 660 H2A Visa Program agriculture laborers working for the applicant firm. PC approved the site plan and density waiver contingent on City Council approval of the land use designation and Conditional Use Permit. A Public Hearing was held at a subsequent City Council meeting and the project was approved. We will now await more definitive site plans and building design for review.

WATER ENTERPRISE
Rate Study – The profitability of the Water Enterprise has been problematic in recent years. Coupled with the debt covenant to budget a net revenue of 120% of the annual debt service, a rate adjustment has been explored. A formal Water Rate Study must be completed, which will be brought back for discussion at some point in the future.

REVENUE

EXPENDITURES

GENERAL FUND
2024-25
[GENERAL FUND]
Revenues
- Revenue Budget for FY2025 is estimated at $3.499M.
- Revenues through Dec. 2024 are estimated at $1.054M.
- Projected Revenues for FY2025 are estimated at $3.664M.

Therefore, projected revenues are roughly $164.2K more than budgeted revenues.

Relevant Commentary:
 Received an estimated $1.054M of revenues for the fiscal year through December 2024.  Property Tax Revenues are low compared to the previous year because the date the majority of this revenue is received fluctuates between December and January, and is sometimes received in even later months due to citizens paying property tax dues late.  Expected to receive revenue for Motor Vehicle License Fees, which in recent years has been over $600K, and the majority is received typically in the month of January with the remaining funds received in March or May of the fiscal year ending in July.  Expected to receive additional State COPS funding of $100K to offset frontline police service expenditures.
 Interest Earnings are not accurately represented in this mid-year update as they have not fully been reconciled and recorded. Historically, Interest Earnings have fluctuated and range between $500 and $42K per year. Since FY2020, Interest Earnings have exceeded $20K, with the exception of FY2023 at $11K. Interest Earnings for FY2024 were over $42K.

YoY Change - Revenue
- Revenue from Use of Money shows a decrease of 63.4% YoY ($15.7K), which is due to missing interest revenue, which can be reconciled before Y/E. - Total Other Revenue shows a decrease of 74.8% YoY ($75.8K). This is due to the lack of funds transferred into account for FY2025, which will occur before Y/E. In addition, the GL Account-3971 Miscellaneous included incorrect journal entries for FY2024. - Overall, TOTAL REVENUES show a decrease of 15.5% YoY ($192.9K). This does not include the expected revenue of Motor Vehicle License Fees, additional COPS funding, or missing Interest Earnings.

Expenditures - by Category
ADMIN:
- Expenditures Budget for FY2025 is estimated at $1.177M. - Expenditures through Dec. 2024 are estimated at $790K. - Projected Expenditures for FY2025 are estimated at $1.132M.

Therefore, projected expenditures are roughly $46K over budgeted.

SAFETY:
- Expenditures Budget for FY 2025 is estimated at $1.852M. - Expenditures through Dec. 2024 are estimated at $1.133M. - Projected Expenditures for FY2025 are estimated at $2.199M.

Therefore, projected expenditures are roughly $347K over budgeted.

PUB WKS:
- Expenditures Budget for FY 2025 is estimated at $496K. - Expenditures through Dec. 2024 are estimated at $245K. - Projected Expenditures for FY2025 are estimated at $416K.

Therefore, projected expenditures are roughly $80K under budgeted.

YoY Change - Total Expenditures
- Salaries & Wages expense show an increase of 29.6% YoY ($146.9K). This is due to an increase in wages (minimum wage increase/minimum threshold increase). There was also an employee added to the City Clerk payroll that was not on the payroll the previous year. In addition, the Safety - Fire payroll & wages showed the largest increase in expenditure. It increased 63.5% YoY ($157.5K), which a portion of will be reimbursed through OES Reimbursement from Strike Team participation.
- Personal Expenses show an increase of 5.4% YoY ($16.9K). The majority of this is due to a spike in Expenditure on Insurance & Safety Bonds, specifically for PERMA. This accounts for 95% of the increase for this expense.
- Overall, TOTAL EXPENDITURES show an increase of 0.5% YoY ($10.6K).

9 Although, the City of Holtville’s financial health does express minor concerns; it is performing okay and is overall in good condition.

Moving forward, there needs to be more diligent effort from the finance department put towards bank reconciliations to identify adequate values of interest earnings. In addition, the supervisor will work with Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable to adjust incorrect journal entries from earlier in the fiscal year as well as to prevent incorrect entries in the future.

The Finance Department and the City Manager will go over budgets, revenues, expenditures, and more with each Department Head before the Fiscal Year End to ensure continuous positive financial health and promote conservative financial decision-making.

Please reach out to the Finance Supervisor with any questions or comments.
