Background and Analysis:

1. At its special meeting held September 29, 2021, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2021-86-3298, declaring an exemption under AB 361 which allowed the legislative body to meet via teleconference and forego the Brown Act's traditional agenda posting, physical access, and quorum requirements for teleconferencing for the month of October 2021.

2. On October 13, 2021, the Successor Agency and Irwindale Housing Authority adopted Resolution Nos. SA 2021-92-3304 and HA 2021-05-104, which ratified the action taken by the City Council.

3. On October 13, 2021, the City Council directed staff to take the necessary steps to resume hybrid public meetings, thereby allowing the public to participate in a public meeting via teleconference or in-person, and foregoing the Brown Act's traditional agenda posting, physical access, and quorum requirements for teleconferencing for the month of November 2021.

4. On October 27, 2021, the City Council, Successor Agency and the Irwindale Housing Authority adopted Joint Resolution No. 2021-94-3306, Resolution No. SA 2021-95- 3307, and HA 2021-06-105, respectively, which re-ratified the existence of a local emergency and authorized remote hybrid meetings for all legislative bodies of the City of Irwindale for the month of November.

8. The attached joint resolution for the City Council, Successor Agency, and Housing Authority, make the findings necessary for the legislative bodies to declare an exemption under AB 361 as (1) there is an existing state of emergency declared by the Governor and (2) the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health's guidance recommends to social distance (about 6 feet away) from people outside your household or when vaccination status is unknown.

9. As a result, joint Resolution modifies public meetings as follows:
a. AB 361, attached to the Resolution as Exhibit A, regarding teleconference requirements allowing City legislative bodies to hold public meetings by teleconferencing or electronically, and in-person, without noticing the teleconferenced locations on the agenda, without making teleconferenced locations accessible to the public, without making physical locations accessible to the public, without posting agendas at teleconferenced locations, without requiring members of the legislative bodies to be physically present at the meeting, and without requiring a quorum of the members of the legislative body to participate from locations with the City's jurisdiction, as long as the agenda that is posted at least 72 hours in advance indicates that members of the legislative body may be participating electronically, provides the teleconference or webinar access information by which the public may participate electronically, and lists the procedure for individuals with disabilities to request reasonable accommodations;
b. All public meeting agendas shall be posted at least 72 hours prior to a regular meeting and at least 24 hours prior to a special meeting; c. Members of the public will have the ability to access the meeting and directly address the legislative body via a call-in option, an internet-based service provider, or in-person. Members of the public who wish to access the meeting inperson shall comply with all health and safety protocols imposed for in-person attendance to promote social distancing;
d. In the event of a service disruption that prevents broadcasting of the meeting, the meeting will stop and no further action on the agenda items will occur until (1) an attempt to restore service for a 10-minute period, and (2) adjourning the meeting to a new date and time when an unresolved issue exceeds the 10-minute time period.

Fiscal Impact:

Conducting remote hybrid public meetings will require city staff to assist with the meeting and public participation, remotely or in-person. The fiscal impact will be based on the amount of staff required and the duration of the meeting. The fiscal impact for all Council and Commission meetings for the 30-day period beginning February 13, 2022 through March 14, 2022 is estimated to be approximately $900.

CHAPTER 165
An act to add and repeal Section 89305.6 of the Education Code, and to amend, repeal, and add Section 54953 of, and to add and repeal Section 11133 of, the Government Code, relating to open meetings, and declaring the urgency thereof, to take effect immediately.
[Approved by Governor September 16, 2021. Filed with
Secretary of State September 16, 2021.]

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 361, Robert Rivas. Open meetings: state and local agencies:
teleconferences.
(1) Existing law, the Ralph M. Brown Act requires, with specified exceptions, that all meetings of a legislative body of a local agency, as those terms are defined, be open and public and that all persons be permitted to attend and participate. The act contains specified provisions regarding the timelines for posting an agenda and providing for the ability of the public to directly address the legislative body on any item of interest to the public.

The act generally requires all regular and special meetings of the legislative body be held within the boundaries of the territory over which the local agency exercises jurisdiction, subject to certain exceptions. The act allows for meetings to occur via teleconferencing subject to certain requirements, particularly that the legislative body notice each teleconference location of each member that will be participating in the public meeting, that each teleconference location be accessible to the public, that members of the public be allowed to address the legislative body at each teleconference location, that the legislative body post an agenda at each teleconference location, and that at least a quorum of the legislative body participate from locations within the boundaries of the local agency's jurisdiction. The act provides an exemption to the jurisdictional requirement for health authorities, as defined. The act authorizes the district attorney or any interested person, subject to certain provisions, to commence an action by manda1nus or injunction for the pmpose of obtaining a judicial determination that specified actions taken by a legislative body are null and void.

Existing law, the California Emergency Services Act, authorizes the Governor, or the Director of Emergency Services when the governor is inaccessible, to proclaim a state of emergency under specified circumstances.

Executive Order No. N-29-20 suspends the Ralph M. Brown Act's requirements for teleconferencing during the COVID-19 pandemic provided that notice aud accessibility requirements are met, the public members are allowed to observe and address the legislative body at the meeting, and that a legislative body of a local agency has a procedure for receiving and swiftly 92 Ch.165 -2-
resolving requests for reasonable accommodation for individuals with disabilities, as specified.

This bill, until January 1, 2024, would authorize a local agency to use teleconferencing without complying with the teleconferencing requirements imposed by the Ralph M. Brown Act when a legislative body of a local agency holds a meeting during a declared state of emergency, as that term is defined, when state or local health officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing, during a proclaimed state of emergency held for the purpose of detennining, by majori1y vote, whether meeting in person would present imminent risks to the health or safe1y of attendees, and during a proclaimed state of emergency when the legislative body has determined that meeting in person would present imminent risks to the health or safe1y of attendees, as provided.

This bill would require legislative bodies that hold teleconferenced meetings under these abbreviated teleconferencing procedures to give notice of the meeting and post agendas, as described, to allow members of the public to access the meeting and address the legislative body, to give notice of the means by which members of the public may access the meeting and offer public comment, including an opportuni1y for all persons to attend via a call-in option or an internet-based service option, and to conduct the meeting in a manner that protects the statutory and constitutional rights of the parties and the public appearing before the legislative body. The bill would require the legislative body to take no further action on agenda items when there is a disruption which prevents the public agency from broadcasting the meeting, or in the event of a disruption within the local agency's control which prevents members of the public from offering public comments, until public access is restored. The bill would specify that actions taken during the disruption are subject to challenge proceedings, as specified.

This bill would prohibit the legislative body from requiring public comments to be submitted in advance of the meeting and would specify that the legislative body must provide an opportuni1y for the public to address the legislative body and offer comment in real time. The bill would prohibit the legislative body from closing the public comment period and the opportuni1y to register to provide public comment, until the public connnent period has elapsed or until a reasonable amount of time has elapsed, as specified. When there is a continuing state of emergency, or when state or local officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing, the bill would require a legislative body to make specified findings not later than 30 days after the first teleconferenced meeting pursuant to these provisions, and to make those findings every 30 days thereafter, in order to continue to meet under these abbreviated teleconferencing procedures.

Existing law prohibits a legislative body from requiring, as a condition to attend a meeting, a person to register the person's name, or to provide other information, or to fulfill any condition precedent to the person's attendance.
92 -3- Ch.165
This bill would exclude from that prohibition, a registration requirement imposed by a third-party internet website or other online platform not under the control of the legislative body.
(2) Existing law, the Bagley-Keene Open Meeting Act, requires, with specified exceptions, that all meetings of a state body be open and public and all persons be pennitted to attend any meeting of a state body. The act requires at least one member of the state body to be physically present at the location specified in the notice of the meeting.

The Governor's Executive Order No. N-29-20 suspends the requirements of the Bagley-Keene Open Meeting Act for teleconferencing during the COVID-19 pandemic, provided that notice and accessibility requirements are met, the public members are allowed to observe and address the state body at the meeting, and that a state body has a procedure for receiving and swiftly resolving requests for reasonable accommodation for individuals with disabilities, as specified.

This bill, until January 31, 2022, would authorize, subject to specified notice and accessibility requirements, a state body to hold public meetings through teleconferencing and to make public meetings accessible telephonically, or otherwise electronically, to all members of the public seeking to observe and to address the state body. With respect to a state body holding a public meeting pursuant to these provisions, the bill would suspend certain requirements of existing law, including the requirements that each teleconference location be accessible to the public and that members of the public be able to address the state body at each teleconference location. Under the bill, a state body that holds a meeting through teleconferencing and allows members of the public to observe and address the meeting telephonically or otherwise electronically would satisfy any requirement that the state body allow members of the public to attend the meeting and offer public comment. The bill would require that each state body that holds a meeting througb teleconferencing provide notice of the meeting, and post the agenda, as provided. The bill would urge state bodies utilizing these teleconferencing procedures in the bill to use sound discretion and to make reasonable efforts to adhere as closely as reasonably possible to existing law, as provided.
(3) Existing law establishes the various campuses of the California State University under the administration of the Trustees of the California State University, and authorizes the establishment of student body organizations in connection with the operations of California State University campuses.

The Gloria Romero Open Meetings Act of 2000 generally requires a legislative body, as defined, of a student body organization to conduct its business in a meeting that is open and public. The act authorizes the legislative body to use teleconferencing, as defined, for the benefit of the public and the legislative body in connection with any meeting or proceeding authorized by law.

This bill, until January 31, 2022, would authorize, subject to specified notice and accessibility requirements, a legislative body, as defined for purposes of the act, to hold public meetings through teleconferencing and 92 Ch.165 -4-
to make public meetings accessible telephonically, or otherwise electronically, to all members of the public seeking to observe and to address the legislative body. With respect to a legislative body holding a public meeting pursuant to these provisions, the bill would suspend certain requirements of existing law, including the requirements that each teleconference location be accessible to the public and that members of the public be able to address the legislative body at each teleconference location.

Under the bill, a legislative body that holds a meeting through teleconferencing and allows members of the public to observe and address the meeting telephonically or otherwise electronically would satisfy any requirement that the legislative body allow members of the public to attend the meeting and offer public comment. The bill would require that each legislative body that holds a meeting through teleconferencing provide notice of the meeting, and post the agenda, as provided. The bill would urge legislative bodies utilizing these teleconferencing procedures in the bill to use sound discretion and to make reasonable efforts to adhere as closely as reasonably possible to existing law, as provided.
(4) This bill would declare the Legislature's intent, consistent with the Governor's Executive Order No. N-29-20, to improve and enhance public access to state and local agency meetings during the COVID-19 pandemic · and future emergencies by allowing broader access through teleconferencing options.
(5) This bill would incorporate additional changes to Section 54953 of the Government Code proposed by AB 3 3 9 to be operative only if this bill and AB 3 3 9 are enacted and this bill is enacted last. (6) The California Constitution requires local agencies, for the purpose of ensuring public access to the meetings of public bodies and the writings of public officials and agencies, to comply with a statutory enactment that amends or enacts laws relating to public records or open meetings and contains findings demonstrating that the enactment furthers the constitutional requirements relating to this purpose.

This bill would make legislative findings to that effect. (7) Existing constitutional provisions require that a statute that limits the right of access to the meetings of pnblic bodies or the writings of public officials and agencies be adopted with findings demonstrating the interest protected by the limitation and the need for protecting that interest.

This bill would make legislative findings to that effect. (8) This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:

SEC. 6. It is the intent of the Legislature in enacting this act to improve and enhance public access to state and local agency meetings during the COVID-19 pandemic and future applicable emergencies, by allowing broader access through teleconferencing options consistent with the Governor's Executive Order No. N-29-20 dated March 17, 2020, permitting expanded use of teleconferencing during the COVID-19 pandemic.

SEC. 7. The Legislature finds and declares that Sections 3 and 4 of this act, which amend, repeal, and add Section 54953 of the Govermnent Code, further, within the meaning of paragraph (7) of subdivision (b) of Section 3 of Article I of the California Constitution, the purposes of that constitutional section as it relates to the right of public access to the meetings of local public bodies or the writings of local public officials and local agencies. Pursuant to paragraph (7) of subdivision (b) of Section 3 of Article I of the California Constitution, the Legislature makes the following findings:

This act is necessary to ensure minimmn standards for public participation and notice requirements allowing for greater public participation in teleconference 1neetings during applicable emergencies.

SEC. 8. (a) The Legislature finds and declares that during the COVID-19 public health emergency, certain requirements of the Bagley-Keene Open Meeting Act (Article 9 ( conunencing with Section 11120) of Chapter 1 of Part 1 of Division 3 of Title 2 of the Govermnent Code) were suspended by Executive Order N-29-20. Audio and video teleconference were widely used to conduct public meetings in lieu of physical location meetings, and public meetings conducted by teleconference during the COVID-19 public health emergency have been productive, have increased public participation by all members of the public regardless of their location in the state and ability to travel to physical meeting locations, have protected the health and safety of civil servants and the public, and have reduced travel costs incurred by members of state bodies and reduced work hours spent traveling to and fro1n meetings.
92 -19- Ch.165
(b) The Legislature finds and declares that Section I of this act, which adds and repeals Section 89305.6 of the Education Code, Section 2 of this act, which adds and repeals Section 11133 of the Government Code, and Sections 3 and 4 of this act, which amend, repeal, and add Section 54953 of the Government Code, all increase and potentially limit the public's right of access to the meetings of public bodies or the writings of public officials and agencies within the meaning of Section 3 of Article I of the California Constitution. Pursuant to that constitutional provision, the Legislature makes the following findings to demonstrate the interest protected by this limitation and the need for protecting that interest:
(1) By removing the requirement that public meetings be conducted at a primary physical location with a quorum of members present, this act protects the health and safety of civil servants and the public and does not preference the experience of members of the public who might be able to attend a meeting in a physical location over members of the public who cannot travel or attend that meeting in a physical location. (2) By removing the requirement for agendas to be placed at the location of each public official participating in a public meeting remotely, including from the member's private home or hotel room, this act protects the personal, private information of public officials and their families while preserving the public's right to access information concerning the conduct of the people's business.

SEC. 9. This act is an urgency statute necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, or safety within the meaning of Article IV of the California Constitution and shall go into innnediate effect.

The facts constituting the necessity are:

In order to ensure that state and local agencies can continue holding public meetings while providing essential services like water, power, and fire protection to their constituents during public health, wildfire, or other states of emergencies, it is necessary that this act take effect innnediately. 0 92

Responding to questions by Mayor Burrola, City Manager Tam advised that the City does not have a curfew policy in place, and that staff follows an unwritten, informal policy to notify the Council of notable incidents that occur in the city.

Mayor Burrola requested a written policy be prepared directing that the members of the Council be notified of certain incidents.

Councilmember Garcia noted that there were comments made at the December 8 meeting regarding compensation for city employees, and noted that government employees' compensation information is available online.

Replying to several questions by Mayor Burrola, Manager Hull discussed staff's staffing requests ad outlined in the staff report, such as the reclassification of the HR Analyst to Benefits Administrator and the creation of a Communications Specialist position.

Mayor Burrola then questioned the need for a Police Captain position, to which Chief Henshaw replied by noting that the Police Department has made several requests in the past and has emphasized the need to reclassify the Police Lieutenant to Police Captain position in order to meet the department's needs and establish a proper chain of

command. He further noted that Police Sergeants are currently tied up in the office performing administrative work when they could be working on the streets since the department currently lacks the administrative staff necessary to do the work. Additionally, if the Police Lieutenant is reclassified to Captain, this action would trigger a promotional process to backfill the Lieutenant position, which in turn would also ultimately result in the hiring of another police officer.

Mayor Burrola spoke in support of creating a second Lieutenant position, to which Chief Henshaw noted that he had requested this as part of his plan four years ago; however, he advised against it at this time since it would not meet the succession plan of the department, which is necessary for proper oversight.

Dena Zepeda made allegations and complaints against the current Police Lieutenant, and suggested undergoing a recruitment process for the Captain position.

Carmen Roman stated her belief that a Captain position is not needed, complained about transferring Resident ID duties to another staff member, complained about the process needed for children to obtain bus passes, and stated incorrectly that the City never held a Police Captain position.

Chief Henshaw corrected Mrs. Roman and noted that he has previously served as Irwindale Police Captain himself. He also disputed allegations of favoritism within the department and advised that the city engages in open and transparent processes, and stated that he would be opening the position to all internal and external candidates so that the best could be chosen.

Dena Zepeda read from a prepared statement and stated her belief that the current Police Lieutenant is not qualified to serve as Captain.

As requested by Mayor Burrola, Manager Hull elaborated on the related costs for the staffing adjustments outlined in the staff report.

Mayor Pro Tern Ambriz declined support for the part-time Communications Specialist position and stated that the staffer currently performing these duties is doing an outstanding job. He also spoke against filling the Captain position and supported filling a second Lieutenant position. He did, however, voice his support for the Benefits Administrator position and the Senior Center Leader positions.

Councilmember Breceda spoke about the need to support Chief Henshaw and the Police Department by approving the reclassification of Lieutenant to Captain, and supported the rest of the staffing adjustments recommended by staff.

Carmen Roman spoke in favor of maintaining hybrid legislative meetings.

Dena Zepeda questioned why Councilmember Ortiz was unable to participate virtually in tonight's meeting, to which City Attorney Guerra advised that the meeting agendas must identify that the proceedings are being held in accordance with AB361 to allow for the remote participation of a Councilmember. When the agenda for tonight's meeting was prepared, it was assumed that all Councilmembers would attend the meeting in person; as such, the agenda did not contain this language. However, staff learned on Monday that Councilmember Ortiz would potentially not meet in person, and so staff amended the special meeting agenda to invoke AB361 in order to permit his off-site virtual attendance. However, due to technical errors, the agenda was not uploaded to the city's website. This is the reason Councilmember Ortiz was unable to participate in tonight's meeting.

Replying to Mayor Pro Tern Ambriz's question, City Attorney Guerra explained that the Council previously authorized hybrid meetings per AB361 through January 8. Unfortunately, Councilmember Ortiz was unable to join tonight's meeting since the meeting was not noticed as an AB361 meeting. In order to avoid this happening again in the future, the Council will continue holding meetings every two weeks in order to meet the 30-day AB361 deadlines.

Councilmember Breceda noted that a majority of cities are beginning to shut down again due to the pandemic, and expressed his preference that meetings be held via teleconference for the safety and protection of staff and residents.

Carmen Roman again spoke on her preference of hybrid meetings.

Dena Zepeda spoke highly of Chief Deputy City Clerk Nieto, and stated that the people deserve to have their elected Councilmembers attend the meetings in person.

Mayor Burrola expressed concern for the safety of employees and residents.

A motion was made by Mayor Pro Tern Ambriz, seconded by Mayor Burrola, to adopt
Resolution No. 2022-02-3251, entitled:

Carmen Roman asked whether there was an allocation set aside for Senior Center meals.

Dena Zepeda asked whether the allocation would impact housing.

Suzanne Gomez suggested that, if the allocation would cover senior meals, that a portion be used to reimburse Mrs. Guzman's expenses in painting her apartment.

Interim Director Duran clarified that the Community Development Block Grant is an annual funding provided by the federal government to the city, to be used in specific ways. In this instance, the full $9,470 that will be received can be used to fund the seniors' meals to help them meet their daily nutritional needs. She noted that the funding allocation would fund six months of the program, with the remaining six months to be funded by the General Fund.

There being no additional speakers, Mayor Burrola closed the public hearing at 9:08 p.m.

POLICY
Assistant City Manager Olivares presented the staff report.

Responding to a question by Carmen Roman, Assistant City Manager Olivares advised that the agendas for Council meetings contain a section where Councilmembers could report on events they have attended in their capacity as elected officials.

City Attorney Guerra advised that all Councilmembers and Commissioners are required to report and summarize on their attendance at events.

CARMEN ROMAN Responding to an additional question by Carmen Roman, Assistant City Manager Olivares indicated that no Councilmember or Commissioner attended a conference in December.

MAYOR PRO TEM Replying to a question by Mayor Pro Tern Ambriz, City Attorney AMBRIZ Guerra indicated that it would be redundant for the City's Reimbursement Policy to include a requirement that Councilmembers and Commissioners report on their event attendance, as doing so is already required by state law.

ASSISTANT CITY Assistant City Manager Olivares advised that the City's policy MANAGER OLIVARES requires elected officials and commissioners to provide a brief report on meeting attendance at the next meeting of the Council or related legislative body after returning from a reimbursable event.

Background and Analysis:

Public Works Engineering staff received several requests to install speed humps on Juarez and Hidalgo Streets. A survey was mailed to residents of Juarez and Hidalgo Streets requesting their opinion regarding the installation of speed humps on their streets. 37 residences were included in the survey and 22 responses were obtained with the following results:

Juarez St Hidalao St
In support of speed humps 16 In support of speed humps 5 In opposition of speed humps 0 In opposition of speed humps 1 No response 3 No response 12
Based on the survey results, speed humps should be installed on Juarez Street as a traffic calming measure to reduce excessive traffic speed and volume. Speed humps will not be installed on Hidalgo Street due to insufficient support or responses. The City's policy requires that 75% of residents of a particular street must support the installation.

Public Works Engineering staff has prepared the design plans and specifications for the Project, which includes a necessary bid package to advertise and solicit bids per Section

3.44.110 of the City's Municipal Code and applicable sections of the California Public Works Contract Code. The scope of work for the Project is comprised of speed hump installation, striping, and signing installation.

A set of the Project plans and specifications is available for review in the Office of the Director of Engineering.

Upon approval by the City Council, the Project will be advertised in February 2022, with an expected award of contract scheduled for City Council consideration in March 2022.

Fiscal Impact:

Funding for this Project is budgeted in the Continuing CIP Budget as Speed HumpsHidalgo/Juarez in the amount of $20,000. The Project is funded by the Mining Impact Fund, and General Fund, and accounted for in the Capital Projects Fund 48 (Account Number 48- 80-800-45300-8341 ).

Background and Analysis
At the January 26, 2022 City Council meeting, Mayor Pro Tern Ambriz requested that this item be brought back for discussion and consideration at the February gth, 2022, City Council meeting. This

Page 1 ends

item was previously presented to City Council at the December 8, 2021, and January 12, 2022, City Council meetings.

Article VIII, Section 803 of the City Charter authorizes the City Council to establish, by resolution, a classification plan for all City employees.

Section 2.05 of the City of Irwindale Personnel Rules, as adopted by the City Council in Resolution No. 2015-31-2760 on June 24, 2015, states that the Personnel Officer shall determine the duties and responsibilities of all City positions for inclusion in a Classification Plan, which shall be adopted by the City Council.

Classification Updates

1. Reclassification Recommendations From Consultant
On April 28, 2021, the City retained Ralph Andersen & Associates to conduct a compensation study of all full-time and part-time City employee job classifications. In addition, a classification analysis was performed on certain classifications to ensure the duties performed by employees are within their current job specifications. Based on the analysis performed by the consultant, the following reclassifications are being proposed to more accurately reflect the level and scope of work being performed:
• Police Lieutenant to Police Captain
• Departmental Aide to Senior Center Leader
The vacated lieutenant's position will be filled through internal recruitment. This adjustment and realignment in the police administration will create proper oversight that conforms to industry standards and best practices. The Departmental Aide classification will be eliminated.

If approved, the reclassifications will be effective February 20, 2022.

There are additional reclassification recommendations for !CEA represented employees, which are not being presented and will be brought forward for approval at the conclusion of negotiations with the ICEA.

2. Additional Classification Updates
• Public Information Office/Economic Development Division Currently, the Public Information Office, a division within the Administration department, consists of the Assistant to the City Manager and a part-time Office Specialist position. With the expansion of the Public Information Office, the City has determined a need for a higher-level role to perform support duties related to media, press releases, community relations and the City's web and social media presence - the COVID-19 pandemic only furthered the City's commitment to timely and necessary communication with the Irwindale community. This role would be performed by the newly created part-time Communications Specialist classification.

Additionally, the part-time Communications Specialist will provide marketing support for the Economic Development Division with business attraction and business retention and expansion efforts. Freezing the part-time Office Specialist position, which is currently vacant, and creating a new part-time Communications Specialist position, will provide the support needed to ensure Page2
timely and necessary communication with the community and support for the City's economic development efforts.
• Human Resources and Risk Management
The Resident Benefit and Resident ID programs were recently transferred to the Human Resources and Risk Management department to more closely align similar functions within the same department and facilitate more efficient and effective delivery of services to the community.

Based on the transfer of these programs to the Human Resources and Risk Management department, staff recommends the creation of a Benefits Administrator classification. This newly created position will have full administrative responsibility for both the resident benefit programs and Resident ID program, in addition to other higher-level duties related to employee benefits.

If approved, the current Senior Human Resources Risk Management Analyst will be reclassified to the newly created Benefits Administrator position, effective February 20, 2022.

3. Job Specifications (for part-time Communications Specialist, Benefits Administrator, and Senior Center Manager)
In addition to the proposed personnel changes outlined above, Resolution No. 2022-13c3263 includes the newly created job specification for the newly created Communications Specialist and Benefits Administrator classifications, as well as an updated job specification for the Senior Center Manager position.

4. The City Met and Conferred with IMEA
The Police Lieutenant, Senior Center Manager, and Senior Human Resources/ Risk Management Analyst are represented positions in the Management bargaining unit represented by the Irwindale Management Employees' Association ("IMEA"). The City and IMEA met and conferred regarding the changes outlined above and included in Resolution No. 2022-13-3263.

Fiscal Impact:

The total additional annual cost for the reclassified Police Captain, Benefits Administrator, Senior Center Leader, and Communications Specialist (currently vacant) is as follows:

Job title
Police Captain
Benefits Administrator
Communications Specialist
Senior Center Leader

As these changes are recommended to take place effective February 20, 2022, the additional cost for FY 2021-2022 is prorated for the remainder of the fiscal year, for an additional cost of approximately $175,812.

These positions are funded by the General Fund and Mining Impact Fund, and therefore the $175,812 is distributed as follows:

Background and Analysis
Article VIII, Section 803 of the City Charter authorizes the City Council to establish, by resolution, a classification plan, salaries, and other forms of compensation for all City employees.

The City's Compensation Resolution has been updated periodically as a result of personnel adjustments and/or compensation adjustments. It was most recently updated January 12, 2022, through the City Council's adoption of Resolution No. 2021-126-3248.

Page 1 ends

Concurrently with this resolution, the City Council is considering the adoption of Classification Resolution No. 2022-13-3263, approving new job classifications, freezing, unfreezing, eliminating certain job classifications, and approving the reclassification of certain employees.

Resolution No. 2022-14-3264 would set forth the current compensation ranges, position titles, and number of positions for all City classifications, as depicted in Exhibit A. This resolution would meet the requirements for a publicly available pay schedule as required by CalPERS. (2 C.C.R. §570.5.)
The list of classifications in Exhibit A to Resolution No. 2022-14-3264 reflect the following key changes:

1. Implementation of reclassifications:

Reclassifications
Current Classification Title Proposed Classification Title Police Lieutenant Police Captain
Departmental Aide Senior Center Leader
Senior Human Resources/Risk Benefits Administrator Manaaement Analvst

2. Classifications to be frozen and unfunded:
• The existing at-will, unrepresented, unclassified nonpermanent part-time Office Specialist position would become frozen and unfunded.
• The existing represented, classified Senior Human Resources/ Risk Analyst position would be frozen and unfunded.

3. Classification to be eliminated:
• The existing at-will, unrepresented, unclassified permanent part-time Departmental Aide position would be eliminated.

4. Classifications to be created:
• The at-will, unrepresented unclassified nonpermanent part-time Communications Specialist position would be created and funded.
• The represented, classified full-time Benefits Administrator position would be created and funded.

5. Update the compensation amount for the unclassified management position of City Manager based on the adoption of Resolution No. 2022-10-3260, approving an employment agreement with Julian A. Miranda to serve in the position of City Manager, commencing February 14, 2022.

Fiscal Impact:

The fiscal analysis provided in the agenda report to approve Classification Resolution No. 2022- 13-3263 includes the classification adjustments reflected in this resolution. Funding for the City Manager position was budgeted in the City's FY 2021-22 budget, and no appropriations are required to cover the cost.

Background and Analysis:

Cities adopt a legislative Platform ("Platform") to efficiently administer responses to legislative proposals. The proposed Legislative Platform identifies issues deemed important to the City, and upon City Council approval will enable staff to proactively engage in the legislative process and respond to issues in a timely manner.

The Legislative Platform is a guide to process urgent requests in support, against or neutral position on legislative proposals. The proposed Legislative Platform is drafted using the guiding priorities of the City Council, as established in the City's Goals and Objectives. Once adopted, the Legislative Platform remains in effect for the duration of the legislative cycle. The City Council may add, remove, or modify items during the annual Legislative Platform update.

Page 1 ends

Each year, the City Manager's Office will submit an agenda report to the City Council regarding its proposed state and federal priorities, establishing the basis for the upcoming calendar year's Legislative Platform. Legislative issues impacting the city that are not addressed in the Legislative Platform will be placed on an agenda for the City Council's direction.

Upon adoption of the Legislative Platform, the City Manager's Office will continue to exercise day-to-day oversight of legislative matters. In addition to coordinating formal action through the City Council, the City Manager (or designee) will administer the City's Legislative Platform by carrying out the following functions:
• Work with Department Heads/Managers to identify matters of legislative importance and develop positions on federal and state legislative proposals and general matters of legislative interest.
• Communicate important legislative matters to the City Council through periodic updates, and identify and coordinate positions for formal action by the City Council. • Review positions and analysis done by the League of California Cities, National League of Cities, the City's legislative advocate, and local government/professional associations in formulating positions. • Monitor and track key bills through the legislative process utilizing the City's advocacy services, legislative websites, and government/professional associations.
• Communicate the City's positions to federal, state, and county legislators. • Participate as needed in the drafting and amending of legislative proposals that significantly impact the City.
• Work with the League of California Cities, National League of Cities, legislative advocate, other cities and local government/professional associations on legislative matters of mutual concern.
• Participate .and attend legislative briefings and meetings to actively engage and stay apprised of legislative trends and upcoming legislation.

Under the proposed Legislative Platform, responses to legislative proposals will be processed as follows:

1. Once a determination has been made that a legislative proposal may impact the City and is identified on the approved Legislative Platform, a letter outlining the City's positon (support/neutral/opposition) will be reviewed, approved and signed by the Mayor, Mayor Pro Tern in the absence of the Mayor, or City Manager (1) in absence of the Mayor and Mayor Pro Tern; or (2) when time is of the essence.

2. If a determination is made that a legislative proposal may impact the City and is not identified on the approved Legislative Platform, a letter outlining the City's position (support/neutral/opposition) will be prepared and presented for City Council review and approval.

Page2
a. The draft letter will be presented to the City Council at a public meeting for approval/revisions.
b. Upon approval, the letter may be signed by Mayor, Mayor Pro Tern in absence of Mayor, or City Manager (1) in absence of the Mayor and Mayor Pro Tern; or (2) when time is of the essence.

3. The final position letter will be forwarded to the bill's author, the League of California Cities, the City's legislative advocate; and other stakeholders as deemed appropriate.

4. A copy of the final letter will be distributed to the City Council.

City of Irwindale
Legislative Platform
2022
The objective of the Legislative Platform for the City of Irwindale is to adopt official City positions on specific legislative issues at the start of the legislative session. The Legislative Platform's streamline approval process provides staff with clear direction on pertinent legislative issues.

The Legislative Platform is developed and maintained using the goals and objectives adopted by the Irwindale City Council, a review of legislative priorities from the League of California Cities, National League of Cities, input from the Council and staff, the City's legislative advocate, research of current law and pending legislation, as well as discussion with local legislative staff and the City's legal counsel.

Federal and state legislative proposals and policies consistent with the legislative priorities may be supported by the City. Those policies or proposals inconsistent with this platform may be opposed by the City.

For proposed legislation, either consistent with the City's legislative priorities or consistent with legislative positions the City has taken in the past; City staff shall be authorized to prepare position letters for the Mayor's signature. Items not addressed in the City's legislative priorities will require Council direction, and staff will submit a request to Council.

Legislative priorities may only address issues directly relevant to or impacting the provision of municipal services.

City departments are encouraged to monitor and be knowledgeable of any legislative issues related to their discipline. However, any requests for the City to take positions on a legislative matter must be directed to the City Manager's Office. City departments may not take positions on legislative issues without City Manager's Office review and approval.

The process for responding to legislative proposals is streamlined as follows:

2. If a determination is made that a legislative proposal may impact the City and is not identified on the approved Legislative Platform, a letter outlining the City's position 2022 Legislative Platform Page 2of14
(support/neutral/opposition) will be prepared and presented for City Council review and approval.
a. The draft letter will be presented to the City Council at a public meeting for approval/revisions.
b. Upon approval, the letter may be signed by Mayor, Mayor Pro Tern in absence of Mayor, or City Manager (1) in absence of the Mayor and Mayor Pro Tern; or (2) when time is of the essence.

3. The final position letter will be forwarded to the bill's author, the League of California Cities, the City's legislative advocate; and other stakeholders as deemed appropriate.
