Laurel Street Dog Park Improvements Update – Presentation by City Engineer Dave Peters Sponsor: City Engineer
City Engineer Dave Peters presented an update on the dog park. They have found alternative solar lights, and less expensive shade structures that the contractor can install and keep the city under budget. Work will begin on Monday, September 9, 2024, and should be completed by November 8, 2024.
Council Member Silva asked about the warranty for the shade structure and about the placement of lights. With concerns dogs ruining the light structures. Peters said it’s a 2-year warranty, still commercial and rated for this use, just less fancy and less expensive. As for the lights, Peters clarified they are made of steel and have batteries that last 10 years.
Public Comment: Chris Peterson, Kingsburg resident, asked about dogs peeing on the lights.
Engineer Peters said they should be fine.
City Solar Project Update – Presentation by Public Works Director Daniel Galvez Sponsor: Public Works Department
Director Daniel Galvez gave a solar update on 4 sites, Well Site 13 (East of 10th Ave/Ventura) and 16 (Erling Park – 22nd Ave/Klepper), the Police Department (1300 California Street), and Public Works (1200 Kern Ave). All plans have been submitted and approved. Steel has been ordered. Well 16 at Earling Park has had landscaping planted today. Steel will come in 8-10 weeks and then construction will begin.
Council Member Palomar asked for clarification on when construction will take place and asked about the solar installation timeline. Director Galvez gave about 60-75 days once we get the materials. Council Member Silva asked if the electrical tie ins above or below ground. Director Galvez said it depends on the site; well sites are localized to the area where the connections are at. Areas in the Public Works yard will be above ground due to the need to update the transformers.
Mayor Pursell Jr. asked about the landscape at Earling Park on Skansen Ave. Mayor Pursell Jr. wanted a detailed plan on the plants that will be placed there due to citizen concern. Galvez said African ferns have been planted, they are already on 23rd, noting they are hardy, we can top them without hurting the plants. He also discussed the north side and the east and west getting ivy.
Mayor Pursell Jr. said residents were ok with the design as long as we had landscaping planted before construction began, but that is not what is happening. He would like it to be lower on the build list so that the landscaping can mature, as previously discussed.
Public Comment: Glen Billington, Kingsburg resident, doesn’t remember discussing landscaping Skansen. Noting it will block his view of the ponding basin. Requests to not plant the current plants.
Informational.
Revenue Collection Report – FY 23-24 – Presentation by City Manager Alexander Henderson Sponsor: City Manager’s Office
City Manager Alexander Henderson gave an update on the received revenues for 2023-2024. The total for the 2023-2024 in the general fund is $4,502,290 in the general fund, a 6.87% increase from previous years. The update included the following: Bradley Burns Sales Tax, 1% District Tax – Measure E Public Safety, Property Tax Collection, Motor Vehicle Fees, Transient Occupancy Taxes (TOT), and Licenses Permits, and Fees.
Measure E is lower than two years ago, $2,637,703, and a result of that we did not fill a vacant Police Officer’s position.
Informational.
City Council Compensation – Presentation by Assistant City Manager Christina Windover Sponsor: Assistant City Manager’s Office
Assistant City Manager Christina Windover presented that the last salary raise for council was in 2002, which was lower than what would have been allowed. Newly passed SB 329 would allow council to have up to $950/month. There are 3 options; direct staff to prepare an ordinance to update the compensation; do not direct staff, or to ask for more information.
Council debated on the appropriate amount would be for a raise. Council Members like Mayor Pursell Jr., Council Member North, and Council Member Palomar cite the need to take time off of work, gas, time away from families, cell phones, and other costs justify raising council members pay increase. Council Member North also cites the current pay, $250, could possibly keep other citizens from running for council due to their personal budgets. This pay increase could allow future council members the ability to run.
Council Members Smith is unsure of the increase. Council Member Smith cites not funding a Police Officer due to the Measure E revenue decrease. Mayor Pursell Jr. argues that in this case, council is in charge of assessing the pay of employees. And in this case, is the current pay a fair amount considering the amount of work put into being a council member? That increasing pay, agreeing with Council Member North’s comment, would allow for good people to run in the future. Pay should not exclude citizens who would want to be on council. Mayor Pursell Jr. cites we were $100 below other cities, he would suggest $850 as the amount. Council Member North clarified, $850 for council and $900 for mayor?
Council Member Silva takes issue with the stipend, noting he is okay with the $250 and loves the purity of council doing what we do and disagrees with the huge jump in pay. Council Member North argues in their everyday jobs, they would tell their bosses what they are worth. Council Member North cited that in 1968, council member pay was $75, the equivalent in 2024 would be $728.10. The pay increase was talked down from $850 to $700, which Council Member Silva was still not comfortable with taking that big of an increase.
Council gave staff directions to bring an ordinance for the first reading that will all council members pay set at $700 a month.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Police officers and professional staff are under intense physical and mental pressures, as well as being required to work long hours, sometimes with minimal or no sleep, but still required to perform their duties. Added to these stresses are staffing shortages, public scrutiny, and other demands placed on law enforcement by society. This leads to greater mental and physical health concerns over time. The Chief of Police is looking to provide both body scans and mental health sessions in order to make the employee aware of any current or potential future physical or mental health issues. A mental health visit will be mandated and scheduled with the mental health psychologist who already provides pre-employment screenings and other mental health services to police personnel, and a vendor will be selected in accordance with City policy to provide full body scans.

E. WHEREAS, the DISTRICT’s Board of Directors has determined that a grant of DISTRICT funds to GRANTEE for funding GRANTEE’s comprehensive physical and mental health examination program (“Program”) for sworn personnel of the Kingsburg Police Department, is necessary for the continuation of competent emergency response services, and has approved a grant to the GRANTEE in the total amount of sixty-eight thousand U.S. dollars ($68,000.00 USD) for the Program (the “Grant” and “Grant Funds”); and

ACCORDINGLY, IT IS AGREED:
III. SPECIFIC TERMS
1. PURPOSE:
Grant Funds must be used solely for those Program expenditures which are specified within EXHIBIT A. If the grant was awarded for equipment, then the GRANTEE must utilize and maintain said equipment in a reasonable manner and not intentionally abuse or damage it. Unless said equipment is no longer functioning, is beyond reasonable repair or is beyond its useful life expectancy, said equipment may not be gifted or sold for less than fair market value, unless traded-in, to a vendor/dealer of the same or similar equipment, in connection with the receipt of reasonable credit toward the purchase of new or upgraded replacement equipment. If said equipment is sold, transferred or destroyed within five (5) years or less after Grant Funds were expended on it, GRANTEE shall notify DISTRICT of such fact, in writing, within twenty (20) business days.
The Grant Funds received by GRANTEE must be used by GRANTEE strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including the grant purpose, project objectives and budget specified in this Agreement, if any. GRANTEE must maintain books and records which segregate and account for the Grant Funds separately. All expenditures made in furtherance of the purpose(s) of the Grant Funds provided under this Agreement must appear on those books and records. GRANTEE must keep invoices, receipts, vouchers and other reliable records to substantiate all expenditures of Grant Funds.

any future grant funds which may become available from the DISTRICT. GRANTEE will not be entitled to priority or special consideration by the DISTRICT in connection with future grant applications solely because of the fact that Grant Funds were awarded under this Agreement.
6. RETURN OF UNEXPENDED GRANT FUNDS: The parties agree that ownership of Grant Funds which are not expended within one hundred eighty days (180) after disbursement by the DISTRICT to the GRANTEE shall automatically revert back to the DISTRICT at that point and, while they remain in the custody of GRANTEE, they are held solely in trust by GRANTEE for the sole benefit of the DISTRICT.

7. REDUCTION/REIMBURSEMENT OF GRANT FUNDS: The parties agree that the DISTRICT may reduce, suspend or terminate to any degree the payment or amount of the Grant Funds provided hereunder if the DISTRICT determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, that GRANTEE did not use, or is not using, the Grant Funds for the purpose(s) awarded hereunder nor satisfying the objectives of the Grant. GRANTEE hereby expressly waives any and all claims against the DISTRICT for damages which may arise from the termination, suspension or reduction of the Grant Funds awarded hereunder by the DISTRICT.

Any other audit(s) which may be expressly required under this Agreement, if any, shall be at the expense of the GRANTEE.
10. WRITTEN REPORT SCHEDULE: All written interim and final reports must be submitted by GRANTEE to DISTRICT before the scheduled deadlines below.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
REPORT TO: Mayor Pursell Jr. & City Council
REPORT FROM: Alexander J. Henderson, ICMA-CM REVIEWED BY: CW AGENDA ITEM: Ordinance 2024 - Determining the Salaries And Compensation for City Council Members
ACTION REQUESTED: __Ordinance ___Resolution _ Motion ___Receive/File
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
While salaries for Councilmembers have been adjusted over time, there has not been an update since October 2002. The rate, set in 2002, of $200 per month for Councilmembers was still $100 per month below what State law would have allowed Kingsburg to adopt as a General law city in 1984. A summary of comparative salaries for councilmembers of neighboring jurisdictions is included in your packet.
Article II, Section 2.06 of the Kingsburg City Charter provides guidance regarding City Council Compensation and Expenses.
Section 2.06. - City Council Compensation and Expenses
The compensation and expenses of the Council shall be in accordance with State law and the provisions of this Charter.
A. City Council to Determine. The City Council may determine the salary and compensation of the Mayor, Mayor Pro Tem, and Councilmembers by ordinance, but no ordinance increasing such salary or compensation shall become effective until the commencement of the terms of Councilmembers elected at the next regular Council election.
B. Expense Reimbursement. The Mayor, Mayor Pro Tem and Councilmembers shall receive reimbursement for their actual and necessary expenses incurred in the performance of their duties of office, such reimbursement to be made pursuant to a schedule of expenses adopted by the Council by resolution, which schedule shall be applicable uniformly to the Council and all City employees and officers.
During the September 4, 2024 regular meeting, Council directed staff to craft an updated ordinance that set councilmember wages at $700 per month, which would take effect beginning in January 2025, after councilmembers are seated following the certification of the next General Election, set for November 5, 2024.
RECOMMENDED ACTION BY CITY COUNCIL
1. Staff recommends City Council introduce Ordinance 2024-05, waive the first reading and pass the ordinance to a second reading and adoption.
POLICY ALTERNATIVE(S)
1. City Council could choose to not adopt the ordinance and provide additional direction to staff.
Meeting Date: 09/18/2024
Agenda Item: 5
REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION/KEY METRIC
1. Financial Stability
2. Preserve the Kingsburg Experience
FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The adopted FY25 includes a budgeted amount for the currently monthly councilmember and Mayor stipend.
If the updated ordinance is adopted, staff will prepare a budget amendment to account for the new amount for the remainder of the fiscal year.
PRIOR ACTION/REVIEW
Compensation for Councilmembers has been adjusted periodically since 1966. The last update was completed in 2002. A complete summary of actions to date is included as part of Ordinance No. 2002-03.
During the September 4, 2024 regular meeting, Council directed staff to craft an ordinance that set councilmember wages at $700 per month.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Recently, the California League of Cities sponsored a bill, Senate Bill 329, which is applicable to General Law cities (Kingsburg became a Charter City in 1998) that identified relevant reasoning for providing fair city councilmember compensation.
Namely, State Senator Dodd (who is the author of SB 329) wrote in introducing the bill:
“City Councilmembers have one of the hardest jobs in California government. They deal with a wide range of issues, from street maintenance to emergency response duties. And all too often, they do this job with very little financial compensation. No one runs for City Council in order to make money. But the low levels of pay make it much harder for them to balance their careers and personal obligations with the calling to serve their community. The Legislature has not raised the base pay amounts for City Councilmembers since 1984. It's time those amounts caught up to the present economic reality, especially with the rapid increase in inflation we've seen recently. Raising the pay will also make it easier for members of marginalized communities to serve. City Councils should be reflective of the communities they represent and I believe raising their compensation is an important step to achieving that equitable outcome." On June 29, 2023, Governor Newsom signed Senate Bill 329 (SB 329). The bill allows cities a one-time opportunity to “reset” city council salaries to take into account inflation, the work done by local government officials, and the need to ensure that people are not discouraged from seeking city office due to the low pay and high demands of that office. The salary increases, or "reset" is based on each cities' population size.
Pursuant to SB 329, the new base pay amount for City Councilmembers in cities with populations up to 35,000 can be up to $950 per month. That works out to up to $11,400 per year per City Councilmember, which would be an annual total of $57,000 inclusive of all five City Councilmember salaries.
While Kingsburg, as a Charter city, is not beholden to SB329, the reasoning and purpose of the bill is still relevant. As such, staff presented this information to the Finance Committee on August 19, 2024 and the Committee made the recommendation to bring this discussion to the City Council.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE OF THE CITY OF KINGSBURG
DETERMINING THE SALARIES AND COMPENSATION
FOR CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS
WHEREAS, Section 2.06(A) of the Charter of the City of Kingsburg (“Charter”) states the City Council may determine the amount of salary and compensation of the Mayor, Mayor Pro Tem and City Council Members by ordinance. in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.06 of the Charter; and WHEREAS, Section 2.06 (B) of the Charter provides that any increase in the salaries and/or compensation established by Section 2.06 of the Charter shall not become effective before the ordinance adopting the same has taken effect and the City Council Members elected at a regular city council election have commenced their terms of office; and WHEREAS, on October 23, 2002, the Kingsburg City Council enacted Ordinance No. 2002-03 increasing City Council Member salaries to $200.00 per month and the Mayor’s salary to $300.00 per month. On January 1, 2007, City Council Member salaries were increased to $250.00 per month, however, the Mayor’s salary remained at $300.00 per month.
WHEREAS, Senate Bill 329, effective January 1, 2024, amended Government Code Section 36516 to increase the maximum salary for city council members of general law cities. The increases are based on population If Kingsburg was a general law city as opposed to a Charter City, maximum salary permitted for Kingsburg City Council Members would be $950.00 per month; and WHEREAS, Government Code Section 36516(d) provides that any amounts paid by a city to city council members for retirement, health and welfare, and federal social security benefits shall not be included for purposes of determining city council member salaries, provided that the same benefits are available and paid by the city for its employees; and WHEREAS, as noted by the State legislature in AB 329, the city council member compensation schedule for general law cities has not been adjusted since 1984, meaning that city council member compensation has not kept pace with inflation; and 2 1

28 WHEREAS, allowing adjustments for inflation may help city councils become more diverse because increased compensation can help individuals from across different income levels receive sufficient income for their service as city council members to help ensure that they can continue to serve the public and support their families; and
WHEREAS, increasing compensation for City Council Members reflects the significant time commitment required to serve as a Kingsburg City Council Member; and WHEREAS, allowing City Council Members to receive benefits similar to those received by City staff is consistent with Section 36516 and furthers the goal of increasing access to service on the City Council.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KINGSBURG DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1: In accordance with Section 2.06 of the City Charter all Kingsburg City Council Members including the Mayor, shall receive a salary of $700.00 per month effective January 1, 2025, when a new term of office for any City Council Member commences.
