DATE: June 20,2022
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: JR Ranells, Assistant to the City Mana n"'k/
SUBJECT: Resolution22-33 Authorizing the City Manager to Execute Agreements to Transfer Administration of the City's OPEB/Pension 1 15 Trust to Shuster Advisory Group, LLC and Funds' assets to Charles Schwab Trust Bank ("Schwab"), and Alta Trust Company ("Alta") as the Directed Trustee.

AGENDA SUMMARY
The city has two Trust Accounts for the purpose of funding certain retiree ontigati6ns. Those funds are currentty abmin'strated by Public Agency Retirement S"rii""r (pARS) and assets are held by US Bank. Alter a review of the current fee structure anO tunJ iine up, it was determined that savings could be achieved by converting our plan administration and portfoliomanagem-ent to another provider' The provider recommended, Shuster Advisory Group, LLC, is the same firm that recently took overtiJr.irty responsibilities of the employee'? 45! deferred compensation account in bctob er of 2019 as well as the FICA alternative plan' Through that change employees, participants and retirees have realized significant savings on the fees of those accounts'

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Council adopt Resolution 22-33 authorizing the City Manager to execute agreements to transfer administration of the city's other Post Employee eenen[s (o"CEB)/Pension 115 Trust to Shuster Advisory Group' LLC (,,Shuster") and funbs' assets to Charles Schwab Trust Bank ("Schwab"), and Alta irust Company ("Alta") as the Directed Trustee'
It is further recommended that the city council autho.rize that the trustee and discretionary ,Oritow .Lri."t of U.S. Bank NationalAssociation (US Bank) be assigned to Alta and shuster respectively. Resolution 22-?? provides the foltowing actions:

4.

ln June 20.19 the city switched record keepers for its 457(b) Employee Defened compensation Plan ("the Plan") from Lincoln Financial to MassMutual. As part of that transition, we engaged the services of Shuster to act as the City's fiduciary related to the selection and monitoring of the investments offered in the Plan, as well as ongoing monitoring of the record-ieeper and their fees. Since the conversion, employee participants in the Plan as a whole have saved approximately $182,000 from the reduction in recordkeeping fees alone (a 63% reduction from 0.49% to 0.09%), positively impacting their account balances. This enhancement does not take into account any financial gains from ir;;";; investments or the increase in guaranteed interest rate. At the time of conversion, ine positive impact to participants due to ihe combination of the fee reduction and increased inteiest rate was estimated to be $188,070 over a one-year period' similar to that effort, staff has been evaluating a similar switch regarding its current administration of our oPEB and 115 trust accounts away from PARS and US Bank. The change will result in a significant reduction.

There are two accounts within the City's Trusts to fund future liabilities related to employee retirement. One is for retiree medical iiability (OPEB) and the second is a 115 Trust for futurePensionLiabilitywithintheCaliforniaPublicEmployeeRetirementSystem iC"iienSl. ln totat tnl city has $8.5 million earmarked for these accounts ($4'0 and $4'5 respectively).

The purpose of this account is to protect and grow assets required to fund retiree healthcare benefits provided to eligible employees hired before 2018 1{5 TRUST
ln 2019 the city established a 't 15 Trust under the same account as part of its Fiscal Sustainability plin. This plan was enacted to address the projected unfunded liability that tt" city was responsible for with calPERS.

Like the OPEB Trust, assets in a '1 15 Trust are irrevocably committed for the government iunaion +"cltic in the applicable trust agreement. Additionally, monies held in such trusts can be invested in accordance with the rules governing those trusts, which are different than irr" inr"rtr"nt rules for the city's pooled investments. lnvestment restrictions that apply to in" g"n"rar fund of a city (cA'Government code 53601) do not apply to the assets held in an tirevocaUte Section 1i5 Trust, thus allowing for more flexibility in the investment strategy' setting asiae funds in a section 115 Trust can potentially earn a higher rate of return than funds invested within 53601 guidelines'

DATE: June 20th,2022
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Chris Nigg, Fire Chief,4)
Agreement with UCLA Center for Prehospital Care to provide EMS Educator Program
SUBJECT:

AGENDA SUMMARY
The implementation of California AB-5 has rendered the Fire Department's current contract with our Nurse Educator invalid and the department is now in violation of Department of Labor laws. To rectify this, staff recommends approval of an agreement with UCLA to conduct continuing education in prehospital and emergency medicine for Fire personnelto maintain licensure as an EMT-Basic and Paramedic and provide quality improvement services to maintain or enhance the quality of patient care.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the La Verne Fire Department enter into an agreement with the UCLA Prehospital EMS Educator Program. This partnership will greatly enhance the delivery of our EMS Continuing Education and Quality lmprovement programs to better meet the needs of our department, County EMS standards, and the citizens that we serve.

BACKGROUND:

Currently, La Verne Fire Department employs a contract Nurse Educator to administer both our internal CE and EMS Ql Programs. In order to update both programs and to align with our neighboring fire agencies, a partnership with the UCLA Prehospital EMS Educator Program, would provide us with greater flexibility and offer a robust improvement over our current program.

Throughout our recent history, LVFD has maintained the current Nurse Educator model to meet the needs of our various EMS programs. While this model has served us well in the past, the ever-changing EMS environment requires us to continually implement new updates in scopes of practice and the ability to mine reliable Ql data. ln addition, 64 June 6, 2022, City Council Meeting
the implementation of California AB-5 has rendered the current contract with our Nurse Educator invalid and the department is now in violation of Department of Labor laws.

Further, by joining the nationally recognized and well-respected UCLA Prehospital EMS Educator Program, LVFD can gain a tremendous advantage in the delivery of our EMS Services and better meet the needs of our employees' educational requirements. The benefits of this affiliation with UCLA include:
o A proven model that has been in place for over 20 years that has offered cutting- edge and reliable partnerships with nearly 60 area fire departments, law enfbrcement agencies and ambulance companies, encompassing over 1000 first responders
. The delivery of high-quality education programs including basic, advanced, and pediatric life support with 200 customized educational courses delivered throughout the region each Year
. The abitity to access a vast library of UCLA medical research . A renowned and effective quality improvement program aligned with the LA County Department of Health Services Emergency Medical Services Agency . The ability to keep our current nurse educator (once accredited with UCLA's program) or have a new nurse educator assigned to our department who will administer both the CE and Ql programs.
o The nurse educator will attend all mandatory DHS, EMSA, or other required meetings/conferences that will allow our current staff to focus on their other assigned tasks.
o Access to both remedial and advanced training at UCLA's Paramedic and EMT Schools
. A Dedicated Infection Control Officer (DICO)
The Fire Department looks forward to the anticipated increase in the quality of services provided to ine public with these new tools and learning opportunities at our disposal. 65 June 6, 2022, City Council Meeting

Adoption of the 2022'23 Budget and Appropriations Limit

SUMMARY
A proposed budget was submitted and discussed during the City Council Budget Study Session neH in June 6, 2022. At that study session, the City Manager and each of the department f,"rOr presented their respective se-ctions of the budget document for Council discussion and Consideration. Adopting Resolution No. 22-36 will officially adopt the 2022'23 budget. !n addition, every year the City must adopt an annual appropriations lim'rt consistent with i"qrir"r".is ot iatifornia law. The appropriations limit pertains to city expenditures paid by tax prd.."Jr. Appropriations financed by service fees, grants and other non-tax revenues are exempt. ttre'cit/s proposed 2OZ2-23 budget reflects appropriations well under this limit'

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 22-36, adopting the budget for the 2112-23fiscal year, jnO Resoiution22-37,adopting lhe2022-23Appropriations Limit' BUDGET
The total proposed appropriations for fiscal year 292.2-2.? are $71 ,282,237. This is the proposed total expenditur"r lbi- tt city funds. lnbuoeo in the budget is $9'4 million for capital irpror"r"nt projects and capitll ouilay. specific prollcts include the street resurfacing, Plateau summit waterrine, an enhanced crosswark'at 6th and D, new restrooms at Las Flores Park, and resrrracing of the pool, and over $950,000 of vehicle replacements.

The projected expenditures for the General Fund are $42.2 million. This includes funding for all existing full time positions. Additionally, funding for two new positions (Deputy Fire Chief and an Accountant) are inctuoeo but not fundld for th-e entire year as they are not expected to be filled until after SePtember'
overall departments' operating budgets reflect approximately an $800,000 increase over mid- year budget, and do not reflect iny significant changes in the services provided to the community. Also of note, Oased on CounciiOirection during their June.6.closed session funding has been added to ufiraoe nssistani to the city Maniger to Assistant city Manager and funding to engage , t"ti.,iting firm to handle the recruitment for City Manager' 86 June 6, 2022, City Council Meeting
staff Report Adopting Budget and Appropriations Limit for 2022-23 June 20, 2022,
Page2
Overall General Fund revenues for 2022-23 are expected to be $35.4 million. These figures reflect only moderate increases in revenue projections which is primarily the result of property tax. projections for all remaining major revenues sources are consistent with current year-e-nd figures. Other notable increases are expected in Recreation fee for services, fees related to fire OEpartment activities in transport and inspections and revenues from a new agreement to provide accounting services for a regional law enforcement task force. At this time, there are sufficient revenues to cover the requJsted activities for the coming year so no use of reserves is needed to balance the 2022-23 budget.

City's General Fund reserve is projected to exceed '11 million by June of 2023 which includes $t.S mittion of the proceeds from the sale of the Amherst property being direcled to that fund.

This amount represents260/o of the budgeted expenditures, which continues to provide a strong financial safe net for any unanticipated events.

APPROPRIATIONS LIMIT
The City of La Verne's Appropriations Limit, pursuant to Article XlllB of the California Constitution leroposition 4, ddnn'lnitiative), for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2023 has been determined to be i zOl,gll,lSA. The limit has been calculated in accordance with the amendments under proposition 111.
