This Agreement is intended to allow the parties to continue to discuss and evaluate the Relationship while protecting Discloser's Confidential Information (including Confidential Information previously disclosed to Recipient) against unauthorized use or disclosure.

AGREEMENT

Such measures shall include the degree of care that Recipient utilizes to protect its own Confidential Information of a similar nature.

Recipient shall notify Discloser of any misuse, misappropriation or unauthorized disclosure of Confidential Information of Discloser which may come to Recipient's attention.

3. Exceptions. Notwithstanding the above, information disclosed hereunder shall not be considered "Confidential Information" as defined herein where Recipient can prove that such information:
(a) was in the public domain at the time it was disclosed or has entered the public domain through no fault of Recipient;
(b) was known to Recipient, without restriction, at the time of disclosure, as demonstrated by files in existence at the time of disclosure; (c) becomes known to Recipient, without restriction, from a source other than Discloser without breach of this Agreement by Recipient and otherwise not in violation of Discloser's rights;
(d) is disclosed with the prior written approval of Discloser; or (e) is disclosed pursuant to the order or requirement of a court, administrative agency, or other governmental body; provided, however, that Recipient shall provide prompt notice of such court order or requirement to Discloser to enable Discloser to seek a protective order or otherwise prevent or restrict such disclosure.

Nothing in this Agreement requires the disclosure of any Confidential Information, which shall be disclosed, if at all, solely at Discloser's option. Nothing in this Agreement requires the Discloser to proceed with the Relationship or any transaction in connection with which the Confidential Information may be disclosed.

6. No Representations Made. Recipient acknowledges that neither Discloser, nor any of its representatives, in the course of providing the Confidential Information as contemplated hereunder, is making any representation or warranty (express or implied) as to the accuracy or completeness of any such information, and Recipient assumes full responsibility for all conclusions derived from such information. The recipient shall be entitled to, and shall, rely solely on representations and warranties made in a definitive agreement, if any, relating to the Relationship.

7. No Reverse Engineering. The recipient shall not modify, reverse engineer, decompile, create other works from or disassemble any software programs contained in the Confidential Information of Discloser unless permitted in writing by Discloser.

8. Restrictions on Export. Recipient shall not export, directly or indirectly, any technical data acquired from Discloser pursuant to this Agreement or any product utilizing any such data to any country for which the U.S. Government or any agency thereof at the time of export requires an export license or other government approval without first obtaining such license or approval.

9. Notice of Compelled Disclosure. In the event that Recipient or any person to whom Recipient or its representatives transmit or have transmitted Confidential Information become legally compelled (by oral questions, interrogatories, requests for information or documents, subpoenas, civil investigative demands or otherwise) to disclose any such Confidential Information, the Recipient shall provide the Discloser with prompt written notice so that the Discloser may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy, or both, or waive compliance with the provisions of this Agreement. In the event that the Discloser is unable to obtain a protective order or other appropriate remedy, or if it so directs the Recipient, the Recipient shall furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information that the Recipient is advised by written opinion of its counsel is legally required to be furnished by it and shall exercise its reasonable best efforts to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment shall be accorded such Confidential Information.

10. Solicitation of Employees, Consultants and Other Parties.

AGENDA ITEM
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 PROPOSED BY: Eric G. Ziegler
MEETING DATE: August 12, 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
(This item was tabled to the regular scheduled meeting of August 12, 2025) 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 (8)(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 tern (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. 2025-09

WHEREAS, in 1989, the Maricopa City Council approved a Position Classification Plan for all employees then in the employ of the city which has to some degree continued in full force and effect since that time; and
WHEREAS, over the past 35 years the Classification Plan adopted by the City Council has become obsolete and no longer serves the need of the City of Maricopa; and WHERAS, Rule 3.1 of the Personnel Rules adopted by Resolution 89-12 adopted by the City Council on December 20, 1989 provides that the City Administrator shall prepare and recommend a position classification plan for adoption by the City Council; and WHEREAS, pursuant to provisions of Resolution 89-12, the City Administrator has prepared a proposed Classification Plan which establishes a formal position description and provides a pay rate for each employee of the City of Maricopa, the said plan being attached hereto as Exhibit A; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Maricopa as follows:

SECTION 1: Pursuant to Section 2.40.050 of the Maricopa Municipal Code and Rule 3.1 of the Personnel Rules adopted pursuant thereto, the City Council of the City of Maricopa hereby adopts the Position Classification and Employee Compensation Plan attached hereto as Exhibit A SECTION 2: All resolutions or parts of resolutions in conflict herewith are hereby repealed.

SALARY RATES
FY 2025-2026 and 2026-2027
Introduction
It is the policy of the City of Maricopa to pay salaries competitive with those paid in comparable municipalities for individuals possessing identical or similar skills, training and ability, subject to constraints of municipal finance. To accomplish this objective, the City has established salary rates intended to attract, motivate and reward qualified personnel.

The city's purpose in adopting this policy is:

1. To establish and maintain a classification plan which includes position titles and job descriptions consistent with actual job function.

2. To establish and maintain salary ranges properly related to functions included in the classification plan and to each other.

3. To periodically examine, evaluate and adjust the classification plan and salary range structure to reflect changes in position function, economic condition and other controlling factors.

For purpose of this policy, competitive/comparable wage rates are defined as wage rates that are within 8% plus or minus of the median rate for comparable job titles and actual tasks performed by those occupying a particular position in comparable municipalities selected by This policy and the wage rates adopted hereundershall be reviewed at the beginning of each budget cycle and may be amended by the City Council at that time should it elect to do so.

Effective at the beginning of the first payroll period starting after July 1, 2025, the city's salary rates are as follows:

JOB TITLE HOURLY RATE FY 2025-2027

Asst to City Administrator $26.10

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: August 12, 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
(This item was tabled to the regular scheduled meeting of August 12, 2025) 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. Unfortunately, the city has failed to comply with this requirement in years past and neither staff nor the city's auditors are currently able to reconstruct the data necessary to compute the Gann limit, at least in the short term.

AGENDA ITEM
TITLE: Authorize Casual Position of On- Call Translator (English - Spanish) PROPOSED BY: Eric G. Ziegler
MEETING DATE: August 12, 2025

RECOMMENDATION
Motion to authorize casual position of on-call Translator (English-Spanish on an on call/as needed basis

BACKGROUND
Currently, as the City is conducting the daily general business operations, such as preparing Building Permits, Business Licenses, Animal License and its Code Enforcement efforts, it is becoming more evident that a translator is often needed to meet the needs of Maricopa's Spanish speaking residents.

California law mandates that government agencies provide translation of written materials, oral interpretation, and bilingual staffing. Agencies serving a substantial number of non-English-speaking residents must translate vital documents such as applications, notices, and public outreach materials. This ensures individuals can understand their rights, obligations, and available benefits.

The Dymally-Alatorre Bilingual Services Act (CAL. GOVT CODE § 7290) governs these obligations, applying to state and local agencies that serve non-English-speaking residents. If at least 5% of the population an agency serves speaks a language other than English and has limited English proficiency, the agency must provide bilingual services, and according to the 2023-25 Census Data the City of Maricopa's Spanish Population is 33%.

It is therefore in the best interest of the city to procure translation services on an on call/as needed basis to remain compliant with Dymally-Alatorre Bilingual Services Act (CAL. GOV'T CODE § 7290) and to meet the needs of the Spanish population.

Staff recommends that the council authorize a part-time position of a translator with a salary of $20 per hour, with a budget not to exceed $5000 for the fiscal year 2025/2026.

Funds are available for this position in our current 25/26 budget.

AGENDA ITEM
TITLE: Designate Voting Delegate and Alternative Voting Delegate(s) to League of California Cities Annual Conference and Expo October 8-10, 2025
PROPOSED BY: Eric G. Ziegler
MEETING DATE: August 12, 2025

RECOMMENDATION
1) Motion to designate Council Member as City of Maricopa voting delegate and Alternative Voting Delegate(s) to League of California Cities Annual Conference and Expo in Sacramento, CA from October 8th through October 10, 2025; or, in the alternative; 2) Do nothing

BACKGROUND
The City of Maricopa, like virtually all cities in California, is a member of the League of California Cities. The League is a professional organization that provides training for elected municipal officials and staff and which represents the interests of California cities in Sacramento and in other forums. In the fall of each year, the League hosts an annual conference for member cities and their elected and appointed officials. This year's annual conference will be in Long Beach, CA from October 8 through October 10, 2025.

In addition to meetings of city officials on timely issues throughout the state, training and update sessions and other matters of interest, the League conducts its annual business meeting at the conference. That meeting is for elected officials and each city is asked to designate a city council member who will be attending the session as a voting delegate for that city. They also ask that each city designate one or more alternate delegates who are authorized to vote on behalf of the city in the event that the authorized delegate or the first alternate delegate is unable to attend as planned.

Delegates are given credentials by the League and are required to present such credentials at the annual business meeting.

The annual business meeting considers resolutions and other matters which determine the League's policy position on various matters of statewide concern and essentially set the direction for the League's program in the coming year.

If the City of Maricopa is to be represented at the League's annual business meeting, it is appropriate for council to designate one of its members who will be attending the conference as the city's voting delegate and to consider designating one or more other members who will be attending as alternate delegates in the event the voting delegate is unavailable to attend or to vote at the annual meeting.

Staff recommends that council discuss this matter and consider designating its voting delegate and alternative voting delegate(s) to the League of California cities annual conference in Long Beach. If no Council member will be attending the conference, no action is necessary.

Council Action Advised by September 24, 2025
DATE: Wednesday, July 16, 2025
TO: Mayors, Council Members, City Clerks, and City Managers RE: DESIGNATION OF VOTING DELEGATES AND ALTERNATES
League of California Cities Annual Conference and Expo, Oct. 8-10, 2025 Long Beach Convention Center
Every year, the League of California Cities convenes a member-driven General Assembly at the Cal Cities Annual Conference and Expo. The General Assembly is an important opportunity where city officials can directly participate in the development of Cal Cities policy.

Taking place on Oct. 10, the General Assembly is comprised of voting delegates appointed by each member city; every city has one voting delegate. Your appointed voting delegate plays an important role during the General Assembly by representing your city and voting on resolutions.

To cast a vote during the General Assembly, your city must designate a voting delegate and up to two alternate voting delegates, one of whom may vote if the designated voting delegate is unable to serve in that capacity. Voting delegates may either be an elected or appointed official.

Action by Council Required. Consistent with Cal Cities bylaws, a city's voting delegate and up to two alternates must be designated by the city council. Please note that designating the voting delegate and alternates must be done by city council action and cannot be accomplished by individual action of the mayor or city manager alone.

Following council action, please submit your city's delegates through the online submission portal by Wed., Sept. 24. When completing the Voting Delegate submission form, you will be asked to attest that council action was taken. You will need to be signed in to your My Cal Cities account when submitting the form.

Submitting your voting delegate form by the deadline will allow us time to establish voting delegate/alternate records prior to the conference and provide pre-conference communications with voting delegates.

Conference Registration Required. The voting delegate and alternates must be registered to attend the conference. They need not register for the entire conference; they may register for Friday only. Conference registration is open on the Cal Cities website.

CITIES
For a city to cast a vote, one voter must be present at the General Assembly and in possession of the voting delegate card and voting tool. Voting delegates and alternates need to pick up their conference badges before signing in and picking up the voting delegate card at the voting delegate desk. This will enable them to receive the special sticker on their name badges that will admit the voting delegate into the voting area during the General Assembly.

Please view Cal Cities' event and meeting policy in advance of the conference.

Transferring Voting Card to Non-Designated Individuals Not Allowed. The voting delegate card may be transferred freely between the voting delegate and alternates, but only between the voting delegate and alternates. If the voting delegate and alternates find themselves unable to attend the General Assembly, they may not transfer the voting card to another city official.

Seating Protocol during General Assembly. At the General Assembly, individuals with a voting card will sit in a designated area. Admission to the voting area will be limited to the individual in possession of the voting card and with a special sticker on their name badge identifying them as a voting delegate.

General Assembly Voting Guidelines

1. One City One Vote. Each member city has a right to cast one vote on matters pertaining to Cal Cities policy.

Designating a Cily Voting Representative. Prior to the Cal Cities Annual Conference and Expo, each city council may designate a voting delegate and up to two alternates; these individuals are identified on the voting delegate form provided to the Cal Cities Credentials Committee.

3. Registering with the Credentials Committee. The voting delegate, or alternates, may pick up the city's voting card at the voting delegate desk in the conference registration area. Voting delegates and alternates must sign in at the voting delegate desk. Here they will receive a special sticker on Their name badge and thus be admitted to the voting area at the General Assembly.

4. Signing Initiated Resolution Petitions. Only those individuals who are voting delegates (or alternates), and who have picked up their city's voting card by providing a signature to the credentials committee at the voting delegate desk, may sign petitions to initiate a resolution.

Voting. To cast the city's vote, a city official must have in their possession the city's voting card and voting tool; and be registered with the credentials committee. The voting card may be transferred freely between the voting delegate and alternates but may not be transferred to another city official who is neither a voting delegate nor alternate.

Voting Area at General Assembly. At the General Assembly, individuals with a voting card will sit in a designated area. Admission to the voting area will be limited to the individual in possession of the voting card and with a special sticker on their name badge identifying them as a voting delegate.

7. Resolving Disputes. In case of dispute, the credentials committee will determine the validity of signatures on petitioned resolutions and the right of a city official to vote at the General Assembly.

CITIES Resolutions and the General Assembly
Developing League of California Cities policy is a dynamic process that engages a wide range of members to ensure Cal Cities represents cities with one voice. These policies directly guide Cal Cities' advocacy to promote local decision-making, and lobby against statewide policies that erode local control.

The resolutions process and General Assembly is one way that city officials can directly participate in the development of Cal Cities policy. If a resolution is approved at the General Assembly, it becomes official Cal Cities policy. Here's how resolutions and the General Assembly work.

AGENDA ITEM
TITLE: Review/Discuss/Provide direction re Request from Kern County Treasurer - Tax Collector to Consent to Sale of Tax Defaulted Property (Located In the City of Maricopa) September 15-17, 2025 PROPOSED BY: Eric G. Ziegler
MEETING DATE: August 12, 2025

RECOMMENDATION
Provide Direction re Sales of Tax Defaulted Property (Located in the City of Maricopa September 15-17, 2025 and if there are no objections to sale of property, Authorize Mayor to Execute Consent Document on Behalf of the City.

BACKGROUND
Attached hereto is correspondence from the Kern County Tax Collector re the sales of certain tax defaulted properties on September 15-17, 2025.

A multi-page list of 996 tax defaulted properties to be sold is on file at City Hall and available for Council or public inspection during the city's normal business hours. Two of the subject properties are located in the City of Maricopa, this being the property (1) at APN# 042-065-22-00-3, minimum price listed at $700; and (2) at 042-280-08-00-2 minimum price for property listed is $3,900. Because these properties are within the city's jurisdictional limits and because the city has the right to levy taxes and assessments on the property, the county is seeking consent of the city to proceed with the sale as authorized by Section 3700 of the California Revenue and Taxation Code a copy of which is cited below.
"Upon providing notice to the board of supervisors as required by Section 3698, the tax collector shall forward one copy to the clerk or secretary of the governing board of each taxing agency, other than the county, having the right to levy taxes or assessments on the property and may forward one copy to each nonprofit organization that has submitted, within one year prior to the next scheduled tax sale or prior to July 31 of the current calendar year, a written request to the tax collector for notification. The copy or copies shall be mailed, sent electronically, or delivered at least 30 days before the first publication or posting of the notice of intended sale. However, where the tax collector has on file a consent from each taxing agency, the tax collector may proceed to publish or post the notice of sale." If there are no particular reasons to object to the sale of these two properties, staff recommends that Council favorably consider a Motion to Consent to Sales of Tax Defaulted Property (Located in the City of Maricopa September 15-17,2025 and to Authorize Mayor to Execute Consent Document on Behalf of the City.
