1. PROBLEM STATEMENT
Describe the city, county, or jurisdiction this grant will impact.
The City of Imperial is the fourth largest city in Imperial County, and we are located in the southernmost region of California. We are centrally located within the county, a major thoroughfare for commuters traveling to Arizona and Mexico. Our City becomes a playground for off-road enthusiasts and others who desire a warmer climate during winter. These elements create tremendous vehicular traffic throughout our city. The City of Imperial encompasses Highway 86, Highway 111, and Forrester Road, which also produces abundant commercial traffic (Semi trucks).
The Imperial Police Department (IPD) provides law enforcement support and services to a growing population of approximately 20,469 residents. The City has seven schools within our jurisdiction. These schools translate to over 4200 students who either walk or commute to and from their residence, requiring a strong law enforcement presence to ensure their safety. Patrol Services consists of 15 full-time sworn officers, and six Supervisors. During normal patrol shifts, three officers are on duty patrolling our city streets.
Currently, all traffic-related issues are placed upon an under-staffed patrol unit.
With current staffing levels on patrol, there is little time for proactive traffic enforcement with two patrol Officers and one patrol Supervisor. Although efforts have been made to enforce traffic violations by patrol officers, there has been little decline in traffic complaints, including school-related traffic issues, speeding vehicles, and pedestrian violations along our major thoroughfares. These areas of concern have been expressed to police administrative staff and city officials. When traffic complaints are received, they are assigned to patrol for enforcement. Unfortunately, the high volume of these complaints competes with inadequate staffing on patrol and the existing volume of calls for service. Our ability to proactively address our traffic issues continues to be hampered by staffing shortages; however, our agency is committed to finding a solution using OTS funding to make our city streets safe.
Describe the problem(s) to be addressed, supported by current and relevant crash data. (most recent calendar year data/stats).
A review of 2024 to 2025 in-house crash data shows a slight decrease in total crashes from 2024 to 2025.
Specifically, in 2024, there were 166 crashes, with a decrease in 2025 to 158. There were no fatal traffic crashes in 2024 or 2025. From 2024 to 2025, there has been no change in injury crashes and injured victims, with both years at 21. Further review of possible correlating factors is needed to identify the decrease in total crashes in 2025.
In reviewing our in-house data, the areas of concern related to traffic safety in our jurisdiction remain the same as in previous years. We continue to have too many of our citizens injured in traffic crashes. Our overall DUI arrests reduced slightly from 37 in 2024 to 21 in 2025. Without a doubt, specific targeted strategies are needed to intercept and assist with stopping drivers who are impaired. With a best practice and focused enforcement plan designed through the Strategic Traffic Enforcement Program, the Imperial Police Department will be more successful in addressing the problems associated with DUI drivers, red-light runners, speeding vehicles, aggressive driving, distracted driving, and an increased pedestrian and bicyclist safety program.
Speed continues to be a significant issue in Imperial. In 2024, the department had 158 crashes causing 33 injuries and no fatalities. During 2024, the department issued 25 citations. So far in 2025, the department has had 89 crashes causing 14 injuries. In 2025, the department issued 3 citations. Based on the statistics for these 2 years, the city of Imperial averages 10.86 crashes and 2 injuries per month due to unsafe speed.
The top three primary crash factors in 2024 were unsafe speed, failure to yield while making a turn, and failure to yield to the right-of-way to traffic. Unsafe speed contributed to one fatal crash resulting in one death as well as 8 crashes causing 8 injuries. Failure to Yield while making a turn was responsible for 6 crashes causing 6 injuries. Failure to Yield to the right-of-way to traffic contributed to four crashes causing 4
8/14/2026 9:27:14 AM Page 5 of 22
injuries. These crash factors remain significant threats to roadway safety and highlight the urgent need for targeted enforcement and prevention strategies.
Define the target population the grant intends to serve and how they are affected by the problem(s).
The Imperial Police Department aims to serve the residents, commuters, and businesses within the city, a community that experiences significant challenges related to traffic congestion, unsafe driving behaviors, and insufficient pedestrian safety measures. These issues disproportionately affect vulnerable populations such as children walking to school, elderly pedestrians, and individuals relying on public transportation. The lack of effective traffic management and enforcement contributes to increased crashes, injuries, and delays, impacting the community’s overall safety, economic activity, and quality of life. Addressing these trafficrelated concerns is critical to fostering a safer, more efficient, and equitable environment for all residents and visitors.

If it is later determined that the prospective primary tier participant knowingly rendered an erroneous certification, in addition to other remedies available to the Federal Government, the department or agency may terminate this transaction for cause or default or may pursue suspension or debarment.
4. The prospective primary tier participant shall provide immediate written notice to the department or agency to which this proposal is submitted if at any time the prospective primary tier participant learns its certification was erroneous when submitted or has become erroneous by reason of changed circumstances.

9. Nothing contained in the foregoing shall be construed to require establishment of a system of records in order to render in good faith the certification required by this clause. The knowledge and information of a participant is not required to exceed that which is normally possessed by a prudent person in the ordinary course of business dealings.
10. Except for transactions authorized under paragraph 6 of these instructions, if a participant in a covered transaction knowingly enters into a lower tier covered transaction with a person who is proposed for debarment under 48 CFR part 9, subpart 9.4, suspended, debarred, ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from participation in this transaction, in addition to other remedies available to the Federal Government, the department or agency may terminate the transaction for cause or default.

In any event, the procuring of the completion of said work, or the portion thereof taken over by the AGENCY, shall be a charge against the CONTRACTOR, and may be deducted from any money due or becoming due to CONTRACTOR from the AGENCY, or the CONTRACTOR shall pay the AGENCY the amount of said charge, or the portion thereof unsatisfied. The sureties, provided for under this Agreement shall become liable for payment should CONTRACTOR fail to pay in full any said cost incurred by the AGENCY.
XI. INSURANCE
Prior to the beginning of and throughout the duration of the Work, CONTRACTOR and its subcontractors shall maintain insurance in conformance with the requirements set forth below.
CONTRACTOR will use existing coverage to comply with these requirements. If that existing coverage does not meet the requirements set forth herein, CONTRACTOR agrees to amend, supplement, or endorse the existing coverage to do so.
CONTRACTOR acknowledges that the insurance coverage and policy limits set forth in this section constitute the minimum amount of coverage required. Any insurance proceeds available to CONTRACTOR or its subcontractors in excess of the limits and coverage identified in this Agreement and which is applicable to a given loss, claim, or demand will be equally available to AGENCY.
A. CONTRACTOR shall provide the following types and amounts of insurance:
Without limiting CONTRACTOR’s indemnification of AGENCY, and prior to commencement of Work, CONTRACTOR shall obtain, provide and maintain at its own expense during the term of this Agreement, policies of insurance of the type and amounts described below and in a form satisfactory to AGENCY.
General liability insurance. CONTRACTOR shall maintain commercial general liability insurance with coverage at least as broad as Insurance Services Office form CG 00 01, in an amount not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence, $2,000,000 general aggregate, for bodily injury, personal injury, and property damage, and a $2,000,000 completed operations aggregate. The policy must include contractual liability that has not been amended. Any endorsement restricting standard ISO “insured contract” language will not be accepted.
Automobile liability insurance. CONTRACTOR shall maintain automobile insurance at least as broad as Insurance Services Office form CA 00 01 covering bodily injury and property damage for all activities of the CONTRACTOR arising out of or in connection with Work to be performed under this Agreement, including coverage for any owned, hired, non-owned or rented vehicles, in an amount not less than $1,000,000 combined single limit for each accident.
Umbrella or excess liability insurance. [Optional depending on limits required] CONTRACTOR shall obtain and maintain an umbrella or excess liability insurance that will provide bodily injury, personal injury and property damage liability coverage at least as broad
6 as the primary coverages set forth above, including commercial general liability, automobile liability, and employer’s liability. Such policy or policies shall include the following terms and conditions:
• A drop-down feature requiring the policy to respond in the event that any primary insurance that would otherwise have applied proves to be uncollectable in whole or in part for any reason;
• Pay on behalf of wording as opposed to reimbursement; • Concurrency of effective dates with primary policies; • Policies shall “follow form” to the underlying primary policies; and • Insureds under primary policies shall also be insureds under the umbrella or excess policies.
Workers’ compensation insurance. CONTRACTOR shall maintain Workers’ Compensation Insurance (Statutory Limits) and Employer’s Liability Insurance (with limits of at least $1,000,000) for CONTRACTOR’s employees in accordance with the laws of the State of California, Section 3700 of the Labor Code. In addition, CONTRACTOR shall require each subcontractor to similarly maintain Workers’ Compensation Insurance and Employer’s Liability Insurance in accordance with the laws of the State of California, Section 3700 for all of the subcontractor’s employees.
CONTRACTOR shall submit to AGENCY, along with the certificate of insurance, a Waiver of Subrogation endorsement in favor of AGENCY, its officers, agents, employees and volunteers.
Pollution liability insurance. Environmental Impairment Liability Insurance shall be written on a CONTRACTOR’s Pollution Liability form or other form acceptable to AGENCY providing coverage for liability arising out of sudden, accidental and gradual pollution and remediation.
The policy limit shall be no less than $1,000,000 dollars per claim and in the aggregate. All activities contemplated in this Agreement shall be specifically scheduled on the policy as “covered operations.” The policy shall provide coverage for the hauling of waste from the project site to the final disposal location, including non-owned disposal sites.
Builder’s risk insurance. Upon commencement of construction and with approval of AGENCY, CONTRACTOR shall obtain and maintain builder’s risk insurance for the entire duration of the Project until only the AGENCY has an insurable interest. The Builder’s Risk coverage shall include the coverages as specified below.
The named insureds shall be CONTRACTOR and AGENCY, including its officers, officials, employees, and agents. All Subcontractors (excluding those solely responsible for design Work) of any tier and suppliers shall be included as additional insureds as their interests may appear. CONTRACTOR shall not be required to maintain property insurance for any portion of the Project following transfer of control thereof to AGENCY. The policy shall contain a provision that all proceeds from the builder’s risk policy shall be made payable to the AGENCY. The AGENCY will act as a fiduciary for all other interests in the Project.
Policy shall be provided for replacement value on an "all risk" basis for the completed value of the project. There shall be no coinsurance penalty or provisional limit provision in any such policy. Policy must include: (1) coverage for any ensuing loss from faulty workmanship, Nonconforming Work, omission or deficiency in design or specifications; (2) coverage against machinery accidents and operational testing; (3) coverage for removal of debris, and insuring the buildings, structures, machinery, equipment, materials, facilities, fixtures and all other properties constituting a part of the Project; (4) Ordinance or law coverage for contingent rebuilding, demolition, and increased costs of construction; (5) transit coverage (unless insured
7 by the supplier or receiving contractor), with sub-limits sufficient to insure the full replacement value of any key equipment item; (6) Ocean marine cargo coverage insuring any Project materials or supplies, if applicable; (7) coverage with sub-limits sufficient to insure the full replacement value of any property or equipment stored either on or off the Site or any staging area. Such insurance shall be on a form acceptable to Agency to ensure adequacy of terms and sub limits and shall be submitted to the Agency prior to commencement of construction.
Other provisions or requirements
Proof of insurance. CONTRACTOR shall provide certificates of insurance to AGENCY as evidence of the insurance coverage required herein, along with a waiver of subrogation endorsement for workers’ compensation. Insurance certificates and endorsements must be approved by AGENCY’s risk manager prior to commencement of performance. Current certification of insurance shall be kept on file with AGENCY at all times during the term of this contract. AGENCY reserves the right to require complete, certified copies of all required insurance policies, at any time.
Duration of coverage. CONTRACTOR shall procure and maintain for the duration of the contract insurance against claims for injuries to persons or damages to property, which may arise from or in connection with the performance of the Work hereunder by CONTRACTOR, his agents, representatives, employees, or subcontractors.
CONTRACTOR must maintain general liability and umbrella or excess liability insurance for as long as there is a statutory exposure to completed operations claims. AGENCY and its officers, officials, employees, and agents shall continue as additional insureds under such policies.
Primary/noncontributing. Coverage provided by CONTRACTOR shall be primary and any insurance or self-insurance procured or maintained by AGENCY shall not be required to contribute with it. The limits of insurance required herein may be satisfied by a combination of primary and umbrella or excess insurance. Any umbrella or excess insurance shall contain or be endorsed to contain a provision that such coverage shall also apply on a primary and noncontributory basis for the benefit of AGENCY before the AGENCY’s own insurance or selfinsurance shall be called upon to protect it as a named insured.
Products/completed operations coverage. Products/completed operations coverage shall extend a minimum of three (3) years after project completion. Coverage shall be included on behalf of the insured for covered claims arising out of the actions of independent contractors.
If the insured is using subcontractors, the Policy must include work performed “by or on behalf” of the insured. Policy shall contain no language that would invalidate or remove the insurer’s duty to defend or indemnify for claims or suits expressly excluded from coverage. Policy shall specifically provide for a duty to defend on the part of the insurer. The AGENCY, its officials, officers, agents, and employees, shall be included as additional insureds under the Products and Completed Operations coverage.
Agency’s rights of enforcement. In the event any policy of insurance required under this Agreement does not comply with these requirements or is canceled and not replaced, AGENCY has the right but not the duty to obtain the insurance it deems necessary and any premium paid by AGENCY will be promptly reimbursed by CONTRACTOR or AGENCY will withhold amounts sufficient to pay premium from CONTRACTOR payments. In the alternative, AGENCY may cancel this Agreement.
Acceptable insurers. All insurance policies shall be issued by an insurance company currently authorized by the Insurance Commissioner to transact business of insurance or is on the List
8 of Approved Surplus Line Insurers in the State of California, with an assigned policyholders’ Rating of A- (or higher) and Financial Size Category Class VII (or larger) in accordance with the latest edition of Best’s Key Rating Guide, unless otherwise approved by the AGENCY’s risk manager.
Waiver of subrogation. All insurance coverage maintained or procured pursuant to this agreement shall be endorsed to waive subrogation against AGENCY, its elected or appointed officers, agents, officials, employees and volunteers or shall specifically allow CONTRACTOR or others providing insurance evidence in compliance with these specifications to waive their right of recovery prior to a loss. CONTRACTOR hereby waives its own right of recovery against AGENCY, and shall require similar written express waivers and insurance clauses from each of its subconsultants.
Enforcement of contract provisions (non estoppel). CONTRACTOR acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of the AGENCY to inform CONTRACTOR of non-compliance with any requirement imposes no additional obligations on the AGENCY nor does it waive any rights hereunder.
Requirements not limiting. Requirements of specific coverage features or limits contained in this Section are not intended as a limitation on coverage, limits or other requirements, or a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any insurance. Specific reference to a given coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a given issue and is not intended by any party or insured to be all inclusive, or to the exclusion of other coverage, or a waiver of any type. If the CONTRACTOR maintains higher limits than the minimums shown above, the AGENCY requires and shall be entitled to coverage for the higher limits maintained by the CONTRACTOR. Any available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be available to the AGENCY.
Notice of cancellation. CONTRACTOR agrees to oblige its insurance agent or broker and insurers to provide to AGENCY with a thirty (30) day notice of cancellation (except for nonpayment for which a ten (10) day notice is required) or nonrenewal of coverage for each required coverage.
Additional insured status. General liability policies shall provide or be endorsed to provide that AGENCY and its officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers shall be additional insureds under such policies. This provision shall also apply to any excess/umbrella liability policies.
Prohibition of undisclosed coverage limitations. None of the coverages required herein will be in compliance with these requirements if they include any limiting endorsement of any kind that has not been first submitted to AGENCY and approved of in writing.
Separation of insureds. A severability of interests provision must apply for all additional insureds ensuring that CONTRACTOR’s insurance shall apply separately to each insured against whom claim is made or suit is brought, except with respect to the insurer’s limits of liability. The policy(ies) shall not contain any cross-liability exclusions.
Pass through clause. CONTRACTOR agrees to ensure that its subconsultants, subcontractors, and any other party involved with the project who is brought onto or involved in the project by CONTRACTOR, provide the same minimum insurance coverage and endorsements required of CONTRACTOR. CONTRACTOR agrees to monitor and review all such coverage and assumes all responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements of this section.
CONTRACTOR agrees that upon request, all agreements with consultants, subcontractors,
9 and others engaged in the project will be submitted to AGENCY for review.
Agency’s right to revise requirements. The AGENCY reserves the right at any time during the term of the contract to change the amounts and types of insurance required by giving the CONTRACTOR a ninety (90) day advance written notice of such change. If such change results in substantial additional cost to the CONTRACTOR, the AGENCY and CONTRACTOR may renegotiate CONTRACTOR’s compensation.
Self-insured retentions. Any self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by AGENCY. AGENCY reserves the right to require that self-insured retentions be eliminated, lowered, or replaced by a deductible. Self-insurance will not be considered to comply with these specifications unless approved by AGENCY.
Timely notice of claims. CONTRACTOR shall give AGENCY prompt and timely notice of claims made or suits instituted that arise out of or result from CONTRACTOR’s performance under this Agreement, and that involve or may involve coverage under any of the required liability policies.
Additional insurance. CONTRACTOR shall also procure and maintain, at its own cost and expense, any additional kinds of insurance, which in its own judgment may be necessary for its proper protection and prosecution of the Work.
XII. CONTRACTOR'S LICENSE
CONTRACTOR must possess at the time of commencing work and throughout the Project duration, a Contractor's License, issued by the State of California, which is current and in good standing. CONTRACTOR shall ensure that any subcontractor working on the Project possesses at the time of commencing work and throughout the Project duration, a Contractor's License, issued by the State of California, which is current and in good standing.

It is not a violation of this section for an unregistered contractor to submit a bid that is authorized by Section 7029.1 of the Business and Professions Code or by Section 10164 or 20103.5 of the Public Contract Code, provided the contractor is registered to perform public work pursuant to Section 1725.5 at the time the contract is awarded.”

The CONTRACTOR is not subject to public works requirements (including registration with the DIR) if the public works project is under $1,000, unless the AGENCY knows that the same CONTRACTOR will be awarded total project costs in excess of $1,000 for a given year.
XIV. CORPORATION IN GOOD STANDING

XV. PROVISIONS REQUIRED BY LAW
Each and every provision of law and clause required by law to be inserted in this Agreement shall be deemed to be inserted herein and the Agreement shall be read and enforced as though it were included herein, and if through mistake or otherwise any such provision is not inserted, or is not currently inserted, then upon application of either party the Agreement shall forthwith be physically amended to make such insertion or correction.
XVI. SUBSURFACE HAZARDOUS MATERIALS
A. In the event trenches or other excavations extend deeper than four (4) feet below the surface, the CONTRACTOR shall promptly, and before the following conditions are disturbed, notify the AGENCY in writing of any:
1. Material that the CONTRACTOR believes may be material that is hazardous waste, as defined in Section 25117 of the Health and Safety Code, that is required to be removed to a Class I, Class II or Class III disposal site in accordance with the provisions of existing law.
2. Subsurface or latent physical conditions at the site differing from those indicated.
3. Unknown physical conditions at the site of any unusual nature, different materially from those ordinarily encountered and generally recognized as inherent in the Work or the character provided for in the CONTRACT.
B. Upon receipt of said notification, the AGENCY will investigate the conditions, and if it finds that the conditions do materially so differ, or do involve hazardous waste, and cause a decrease or increase in the CONTRACTOR's cost of or the time required for performance of any part of the work, the AGENCY will issue a change order under the procedures described in the General Conditions.
C. In the event that a dispute arises between the AGENCY and the CONTRACTOR, whether the conditions materially differ, or involve hazardous waste, or cause a decrease or increase in the CONTRACTOR's cost of or time required for performance of any part of the work, the CONTRACTOR shall not be excused from any scheduled completion date provided for by the Agreement, but shall proceed with all work to be performed under the Agreement. The CONTRACTOR shall retain any and all rights provided either by Agreement or by law which pertain to the resolution of disputes and protests between the contracting parties.
11 XVII. LIQUIDATED DAMAGES
Pursuant to Government Code Section 53069.85, if work is not completed within the contract time or in strict accordance with the Project Schedule, it is understood, acknowledged and agreed that the AGENCY will suffer damage. It is therefore agreed that the CONTRACTOR shall pay to the AGENCY the sum of five hundred dollars ($500.00) for each and every calendar day of delay beyond the Contract Time, or beyond any completion schedule, construction schedule or Project milestones established in or pursuant to the Project Schedule, or beyond the time indicated in the Project Schedule for any individual Contract activity.
CONTRACTOR expressly understands, acknowledges and agrees that such liquidated damages can and shall be imposed if the CONTRACTOR does not meet each and every aspect of any activity schedule, completion schedule, construction schedule or Project milestones established in or pursuant to the Project Schedule. If the AGENCY accepts work or makes any payment under this Agreement after a default by reason of delays, the acceptance of such work and/or payment(s) shall in no respect constitute a waiver or modification of any provisions regarding Contract Time, a completion schedule, the Project Schedule or the accrual of liquidated damages. In the event the same is not paid, the CONTRACTOR further agrees that the AGENCY may deduct the amount thereof from any money due or that may become due the CONTRACTOR under the Agreement. This Article does not exclude recovery of damages under provisions of the Contract Documents, and is expressly in addition to the AGENCY’s ability to seek other damages.
CONTRACTOR is to refer to Section II of this AGREEMENT for Project Construction Schedule for duration of individual activities. Liquidated damages may be assessed if any individual activity duration exceeds the time indicated for that activity on the Project Construction Schedule.

BACKGROUND:
Staff recommends that the Council approve Resolution 2026-58 to adopt terms related to compensation and benefits for unrepresented employees, including implementation of the compensation study at 95% of the median, and approve the updated salary schedules, which would create two separate salary schedules, including the creation of a standalone salary schedule consolidating Contract, MSPC, Part-Time, and Seasonal Unrepresented classifications, and updating the City's current Salary Schedule, to remove all unrepresented classifications and reflect only represented positions (Teamsters and IPOA).
FISCAL IMPACT:
The fiscal impact of approving Resolution 2026-58 is approximately $401,132.45 over the three-year term (FY 26-27: $215,955.15, FY 27-28: $91,445.58, FY 28-29:

WHEREAS, Exhibit A, attached herein, reflects the salary schedule for Unrepresented Employees for FY 2026-2027, FY 2027-2028, and FY 2028-2029; and
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF IMPERIAL DOES RESOLVE, DETERMINE, AND ORDERS AS FOLLOWS:
All Unrepresented Employees referenced above shall receive the following benefits:
ARTICLE I. GENERAL COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS (ALL UNREPRESENTED
EMPLOYEES)
Section 1.01. 2026 Total Compensation Study Implementation a) The final adopted 2026 Total Compensation Study shall be implemented in accordance with Appendix A at ninety-five percent (95%) of the median salary effective the first full pay period in July 2026.
01514.0003 2184647.1 3 of 19
b) Such compensation implementation shall become effective retroactively to the first full pay period in July 2026.
c) Employees will be moved into the recommended salary range for each class based on the market study, and to the step within the new range closest to their current compensation, without a reduction in pay.
d) The City will use Y-rating for employees whose current pay exceeds the maximum of the current recommended range, until the market numbers catch up with their current salary.
To Y-rate an employee means to keep the employee’s salary frozen and to provide no Cost-of-Living Adjustments (“COLA”) until the employee’s current salary is within the recommended salary range. This will result in no immediate loss of income but will require the employee to forgo future increases until the incumbent’s salary is within the salary range. Employee anniversary and merit eligibility dates shall not be changed as a result of this adoption. Any new hires shall be placed in accordance with the 2026 Total Compensation Study salary ranges.
Section 1.02. FY 2026-2027 One-Time Payment
a) For the 2026-2027 fiscal year, effective within thirty (30) days after City Council adoption of this resolution, employees under this resolution at the time of Council adoption shall receive a one-time, non-base-building payment of one thousand five hundred dollars ($1,500.00), less applicable taxes.
b) Employees will receive this one-time payment by check, separate from their regular paycheck.
Section 1.03. Cost-of-Living Adjustments (COLA)
a) There shall be no Cost-of-Living increase provided to Unrepresented Employees for FY 2026-2027.
b) For the 2027-2028 fiscal year, a two-and-a-half percent (2.5%) cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) shall be made to the Unrepresented Employee salary schedule effective the first full pay period of July 2027.
c) For the 2028-2029 fiscal year, a two-and-a-half percent (2.5%) cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) shall be made to the Unrepresented Employee salary schedule effective the first full pay period of July 2028.
Section 1.04. Annual Merit Increases
a) General Schedule
i. Merit increases will be provided for FY 2026-2027, and employees who have received a satisfactory or better performance evaluation may be considered for a merit increase.
ii. There shall be no merit step increases for the FY 2027-2028, inclusive of Longevity steps.
iii. Payment of merit step increases for the 2028-2029 fiscal year, inclusive of longevity steps, shall be contingent upon a surplus in the City’s general fund of a minimum of one million one hundred thousand dollars ($1.1 million) from the 2027-2028 fiscal year (as assessed on or about September 2028).
01514.0003 2184647.1 4 of 19
b) Anniversary Date & Eligibility
i. Every permanent Unrepresented Employee shall have an Anniversary Date, which is the date of an employee’s most recent appointment, inclusive of promotion, demotion, reclassification, transfer, reinstatement, and reemployment. This shall serve as their new annual merit eligibility date.
ii. Merit step increases are not automatic but shall be given only for performance of satisfactory services and completion of certain lengths of service, on recommendation of the department head and approval by the City Manager or designee.
c) Procedure
i. At least two (2) pay periods before an employee’s Anniversary Date, the department head shall complete the employee’s annual evaluation. ii. If the employee has not yet reached the top step of their salary range and additional salary steps are available for an annual merit increase, the Department Head shall advise the Human Resources department, in writing on the evaluation form, whether they recommend granting or denying a salary increase. iii. The Department Head shall supplement their recommendation with a performance rating, including whether the work performance is satisfactory or unsatisfactory, which has been discussed with the employee. If the employee’s performance has been satisfactory, the recommendation will normally be to grant an increase. iv. The Human Resources Department will, if appropriate, prepare the Salary Change Form for consideration for approval by the City Manager or designee and provide it to the Finance Department to calculate the employee's payment. v. Anniversary step increases, if awarded, shall become effective at the beginning of the pay period during which the Anniversary Date falls.
Section 1.05. Longevity Increases
The City shall continue to provide longevity pay increases in fiscal years in which merit increases are funded for City employees, in accordance with the schedule and terms set forth in Appendix A, as follows:
a) Step 8 (10 Years): Upon successful completion of the tenth (10th) year of continuous service with the City, including one (1) year during which they have occupied step 7 in their current classification, permanent Unrepresented Employees shall be eligible to advance to step 8 on their annual salary increase eligibility date. b) Step 9 (15 Years): Upon successful completion of the fifteenth (15th) year of continuous service with the City, including one (1) year during which they have occupied step 8 in their current classification, permanent Unrepresented Employees shall be eligible to advance to step 9 on their annual salary increase eligibility date. c) Step 10 (20 Years): Upon successful completion of the twentieth (20th) year of continuous service with the City, including one (1) year during which they have occupied step 9 in their current classification, permanent Unrepresented Employees shall be eligible to advance to step 10 on their annual salary increase eligibility date. d) Terms and Exceptions

Department Head: Kristen Smith, Human Resources Director Meeting Date: September 2, 2026
SUBJECT:
RECOMMENDATION TO APPROVE THE DEPARTMENT REORGANIZATION TO
MERGE THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT AND PUBLIC
SERVICES DEPARTMENT INTO THE LOCAL DEVELOPMENT AND OPERATIONS DEPARTMENT, AND AUTHORIZE THE FOLLOWING ASSOCIATED ACTIONS:
• APPROVE AND ADOPT THE JOB DESCRIPTIONS AND SALARY RANGES
FOR LOCAL DEVELOPMENT AND OPERATIONS MANAGER (SALARY
RANGE 55) AND LOCAL DEVELOPMENT AND OPERATIONS DIRECTOR (SALARY RANGE 65).
• APPROVE A BUDGET AMENDMENT TO ADD AND FUND ONE (1.0 FTE)
LOCAL DEVELOPMENT AND OPERATIONS MANAGER POSITION AND
ONE (1.0 FTE) LOCAL DEVELOPMENT AND OPERATIONS DIRECTOR POSITION.
• AUTHORIZE THE RECLASSIFICATION OF THE CURRENT PUBLIC
SERVICES MANAGER TO LOCAL DEVELOPMENT AND OPERATIONS
MANAGER (SALARY RANGE 55, STEP 5), EFFECTIVE SEPTEMBER 14, 2026.
• AUTHORIZE THE RECLASSIFICATION OF THE CURRENT COMMUNITY
DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR TO LOCAL DEVELOPMENT AND OPERATIONS DIRECTOR (SALARY RANGE 65, STEP 6), EFFECTIVE SEPTEMBER 14, 2026.
• APPROVE A BUDGET AMENDMENT TO REMOVE FUNDING AND DELETE ALLOCATIONS FOR ONE (1.0 FTE) VACANT PUBLIC SERVICES MANAGER POSITION (RANGE 55), ONE (1.0 FTE) VACANT PUBLIC SERVICES

COMMUNITY SERVICES DIRECTOR POSITION (RANGE 65).
BACKGROUND:
The City is proposing a departmental reorganization to merge the Community Development Department and the Public Services Department into a single department titled the Department of Local Development and Operations. Within this unified department, Community Development and Public Services will remain distinct operating divisions.
Purpose of the Departmental Reorganization
• Address Project Overlap: Key municipal initiatives frequently span the boundaries between community planning, public infrastructure, and maintenance operations.
• Streamline Operations: Consolidating leadership and workflows eliminates administrative redundancies, enhances resource sharing, and delivers services more efficiently to the public.
• Enhance Interdepartmental Communication: Bringing both teams under a single departmental umbrella removes operational silos, fostering continuous coordination on infrastructure and development projects.
To execute this transition effectively, the following personnel actions are required:
• New Job Descriptions: The proposed Local Development and Operations Manager and the proposed Local Development and Operations Director job titles and classifications align duties directly with the broader operational scope of the merged department.
• Position Funding & Reclassification: Adding one funded Local Development and Operations Manager allocation allows the lateral reclassification of the existing full-time Public Services Manager into the new title at Range 55, Step 5.
Adding one funded Local Development and Operations Director allocation allows the lateral reclassification of the existing full-time Community Development Director into the new title at Range 65, Step 6.
• Remove Funding for Vacant Position: Removing funding for the remaining vacant Public Services Manager and the Community Development Director allocations ensures no net increase in authorized headcount. By defunding the
B.3.
vacant Public Services Director allocation, the City will achieve significant salary savings.
