AGENDA ITEM
TITLE: Adopt Resolution Entitled A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Maricopa Adopting a Positior Classification and Compensation Plan for Employees of the City of Maricop PROPOSED BY: Eric G. Ziegler
MEETING DATE: July 22, 2025

RECOMMENDATION
Motion to adopt Resolution Entitled A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Maricopa Adopting a Position Classification and Compensation Plan for Employees of the City of Maricopa

BACKGROUND
In preparing the city's proposed budget for Fiscal Years 2025-2026 and 2026-2027, one area that requires attention has been identified, that being the matter of employee compensation. Specifically, three of the city's four full-time employees are currently being compensated at the California minimum wage of $16.50 per hour.

With the exception of statutorily mandated increases in the minimum wage, the last salary increase granted the city's employees was in 2022.

The current minimum wage for fast food workers here in California is $20 per hour which is considerably more that most city employee salaries. Council should consider the feasibility of modifying the current employee wage structure with the goal of paying city workers a salary that is at least somewhat competitive with other city employees in Kern County.

To address this issue, staff has prepared a proposed a city employee that it believes is appropriate for Council consideration. Funds for this plan are included in the proposed FY 2025-2026 and 2026-2027 budgets which appear later in tonight's agenda.

Chapter 2.40 of the Maricopa municipal Code as it now exists adopts a statutory Personnel system for the City of Maricopa. A portion of that system authorizes Council to adopt personnel policies and procedures by resolution.

Council adopted a fairly comprehensive rules and regulations by resolution in 1989. And although those rules and regulations have been periodically updated since that time, the most recent amendments seems to have been adopted in 1996
Among the requirements of Section 2.40 is one requiring that the city develop a Classification Plan (2.40.050 (B)(1) While it appears that Council may have adopted a Classification Plan of sorts in 1989 (perhaps in conjunction with adoption of personnel rules and regulations or as a follow-up to that action), staff is unable to locate a copy of that document in city files.

In any case, at this time, it is appropriate to for Council to at least consider adopting an updated Classification Plan and Scale tem (i.e. a Compensation Plan) to in accordance with provisions of the Municipal Code and the Personnel Rules adopted thereunder as well as to facilitate efficient administration of the city.

Position descriptions in a Classification Plan are written to reflect the duties, skills, qualifications and hiring criteria the employer requires on a functional basis. That is, the position descriptions are written with no particular cognizance of an individual that may be filling a particular position or performing certain job functions at any particular time.

Position descriptions that accurately reflect the duties being performed by a particular function are an inherent part of a rational salary system which fairly compensates employees for beneficial work performed on behalf of the employer.

The position descriptions being presented at this time are consistent with duties actually being performed by employees occupying various positions maintained by the city and should be adopted as part of the city's impending budget adoption.

Staff recommends that Council favorably consider a motion to adopt Resolution Entitled A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Maricopa Adopting a Position Classification and Compensation Plan for Employees of the City of Maricopa RESOLUTION NO._

Pursuant to action by the Central San Joaquin Valley Risk Management Authority's (CSJVRMA) Dos Palos
Firebaugh Executive Committee on June 26, 2025, we are forwarding to you an Amended and Restated Fowler
Huron Joint Powers Agreement for presentation and approval by your city's city council at their earliest Kerman
Kingsburg opportunity.

Los Banos
Madera
Mendota Amendments to the Joint Powers Agreement require a written resolution approved and signed by Merced
Orange Cove two-thirds (2/3rds) of the respective city councils of the member cities. Upon signature by two- Parlier
thirds (2/3rds) of the member cities, any member city failing or refusing to abide by such Reedley

Mr. Lavra advised the Executive Committee that although the Joint Powers Agreement, even as Southern Region last amended in 1994, meets the legal requirements as set forth in the government code for Joint Powers Authorities, the document has been updated as follows:
• Definitional terms have been defined more clearly.
• Language has been broadened to give leeway in the event the CSJVRMA wants to consider creating or participating in a captive agency. • An addition was made pursuant to Government Code Section 6509 that was not part of the law in 1994 when CSJVRMA last amended the Agreement. The change requires JPAs to designate a member whose restrictions would apply to the operations of the JPA. Below is an excerpt from correspondence from Mr. Lavra:
"This code section was enacted to prevent a local public entity from exercising powers inconsistent with its own charter, ordinance or resolution simply by becoming a member of a JPA. JPA's are formed to permit public entities to exercise powers on a collective basis, which they could, absent the JPA, exercise individually. However, the legislature wanted to place some restriction on the power of the JPA, without that JPA having to comply with all restrictions that might be in place for all of the members of the JPA. It would be unworkable, for instance, if the JPA had to satisfy or verify any and all CSJVRMA Member City Councils
July 14, 2025

restrictions from the ordinances of all of the members of the JPA when transacting the business of the JPA. In order to strike a balance, section 6509 permits the JPA to agree to any restrictions in its exercise of powers based on the restrictions of one identified member city."
The City of Ripon has been added to the Agreement as the designated city under Government Code Section 6509 with City of Madera listed as a secondary city in the event the City of Ripon were to terminate its membership. These two cities have no restrictions in place that would conflict with the day-to-day operations of the JPA.

To assist you in presenting this information to your city council for approval, a redline version of the Joint Powers Agreement is attached. Also attached are the following:
• A proposed new Joint Powers Agreement to be executed upon approval by your city council.
• A sample resolution that can be used to document the action taken by your city council in approving the Amended and Restated Joint Powers Agreement. This document is also being provided in a Word format to allow you to modify as appropriate for adoption by your council when approving the Amended and Restated Joint Powers Agreement.

Upon approval of the new Joint Powers Agreement by your city council, the final document needs to be executed by your City Manager/Administrator or an authorized individual from your city. Please forward an original, signed copy of the new Joint Powers Agreement, along with a copy of the adopted and fully executed council resolution, to Samantha Zellmer, CSJVRMA Board Secretary, at the following address:

AGENDA ITEM
TITLE: REVIEW/DISCUSS/ADOPT RESOLUTION ADOPTING ANNUAL BUDGET FOR THE CITY OF MARICOPA FOR FISCAL YEAR 2025-2026 AND FISCAL YEAR 2026 - 2027
PROPOSED BY: Eric G. Ziegler
MEETING DATE: July 22, 2025

RECOMMENDATION
Review/Discuss/Adopt Annual Budget of the City of Maricopa for Fiscal Year 2025-2026 and Fiscal Year 2026-2027;
To adopt, it's appropriate to favorably consider a motion to adopt a resolution entitled A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Maricopa Adopting Annual Budget for Fiscal Year 2025-2026 And Fiscal Year 2026-2027 And Appropriating Funds Therefor

BACKGROUND
Attached hereto is the proposed budget for the City of Maricopa for Fiscal Years 2025 - 2026 and 2026-2027 which begins on July 1 of each year. As in years past, the figures contained herein represent a realistic projection of both revenue and expense in all but Grant Funds for the impending fiscal years).

These projections are based upon a review and evaluation of the city's actual revenues and expenses in the current year and in prior years to the extent such records are available as well as on what staff believes are reasonable projections for both revenues and expenses in the impending fiscal year.

For the past several years, the city's budget has remained relatively static with little change in revenue; expense has increased modestly during that time. However, during this time, the city has maintained a balanced budget because of its conservative projections and prudent management of available resources. Additionally, for the past several years, the city has been debt-free other than the existing inter-fund loan between the Refuse Fund and the Sewer The budget as presented contemplates amended wage rates for city employees, the majority of whom are currently paid the statutory minimum wage which is something less than the minimum wage paid to fast food workers here in California. The total cost of recommended increases is $27,424 per year.

With respect to the Refuse Fund, staff anticipates revenue of $175,832, virtually all of which is generated by refuse collection and disposal service fees which are collected on the county tax rolls. Expenses are projected to be $137,537.

Sewer Fund revenue for FY 2025-2026 is estimated at $150,400. Like the Refuse Fund, the Sewer Fund's primary source of revenue is Sanitary Sewer Service fees levied by the city, and collected by the county tax collector and remitted to the city. Estimated expense for this fund are anticipated at $113,427 during the 2025-2026 fiscal year.

Staff notes that in most instances, adoption of an annual budget resolution also includes adoption of a resolution declaring the city's appropriations limit (also called it's Gann limit) as required by Article XIII B of the California Constitution.
