BACKGROUND

Since the disbursement of the HOME Program loan funding to Casa De Rosa Apartments, the City has been required to comply with all of the HOME Program’s long-term monitoring requirements to ensure that the federal and state HOME Program requirements are being met at the Casa De Rosa Apartments. Among other things, these monitoring efforts include certifications of tenant income and assets, HOME Program rents, property standards, residential lease and occupancy, and tenant selection plans. Due to the extensive nature of long-term monitoring services, the City has historically contracted a consultant to perform these services.

ANALYSIS
Adams Ashby Group, Inc. (the “Consultant”), who has completed these long-term monitoring audit services for the City for many years, submitted a Professional Services Agreement for consideration. Staff has reviewed the Professional Services Agreement and has deemed it acceptable. The Consultant’s familiarity with the HOME Program and Casa De Rosa Apartments over its previous years of service will benefit the City through continued service. With the approval of the Professional Services Agreement, the Consultant will complete the 2024, 2025, 2026, and 2027 HOME Long-Term Monitoring Audits for Casa De Rosa Apartments.

FISCAL IMPACT
The fee for the services rendered will be paid by the General Fund - City Administration Contract Services. A total of $4,500.00 will be expended each year of service under the agreement.

BACKGROUND
The City of Mendota's (“City”) Personnel Rules Handbook, last updated in 2016 by Liebert Cassidy Whitmore, is in need of revision to ensure it aligns with current laws, regulations, and best practices in human resources management. Since the last update, there have been changes in federal and state employment laws. Additionally, evolving workforce trends, technology advancements, and the City's own changing organizational structure necessitate a review to maintain fairness, consistency, and transparency in personnel practices. Revising the handbook will help the City remain compliant with legal standards, address emerging workplace issues, and promote a positive work environment for all employees.

ANALYSIS
The need to revise the City’s Personnel Rules Handbook is supported by significant legal, organizational, and workplace changes since its last update in 2016. Key updates include shifts in federal and state laws, such as changes to the Family and Medical Leave Act, California’s paid sick leave, and new diversity and inclusion mandates. The City's evolving workforce, employee feedback, and best practices in human resources necessitate a comprehensive review to ensure legal compliance, consistency, and a positive, modern work environment.

FISCAL IMPACT
Approximately $30,000. This is budgeted for and will be paid for by the General Fund - City Administration Contract Services.

All pertinent questions will be answered in writing and conveyed to all known Respondents.

NOTE: Respondents and their agents are specifically directed not to contact any City personnel, other than the Contact Person indicated above, for any purpose related to this RFP before the submittal deadline.

Unauthorized contact with City personnel may be cause for rejection of a Respondent’s submission.

Oral statements concerning the meaning or intent of this RFP and its accompanying materials issued by any person are unauthorized, invalid, and cannot bind the City.

1.2 ERRORS AND OMISSIONS
This RFP cannot identify each specific, individual task required to implement this Project.

The City relies on the professionalism and competence of Respondents to be knowledgeable of the general areas identified in the scope of work and to include in their proposals all materials, equipment, required tasks and subtasks, personnel commitments, man-hours, labor, direct and indirect costs, etc. Respondents shall not take advantage of any errors and/or omissions in this RFP document and its accompanying materials to the City’s detriment. Where such errors or omissions are discovered, the City will issue revised instructions in the form of an addendum. The City reserves the right to remedy any technical errors in the RFP and its accompanying materials.

The City may modify this RFP, any of its key action dates, and/or any of its exhibits prior to the submission deadline. Addenda will be numbered consecutively as a suffix to the RFP Reference Number. It is the Respondents’ responsibility to ensure they have incorporated all addenda into their submissions. Failure to acknowledge and incorporate addenda requirements into a submission will not relieve the Respondents of the responsibility to meet all terms and conditions of the RFP for their submission to be considered.

1.4 SUBMISSION OF PROPOSAL
Proposals will only be accepted on or before the date and time indicated in the Schedule of Events (Section 2) in accordance with the Proposal Specifications and Requirements (Section 4), as may be amended by addenda issued by the City.

6 Prices, makes, models, or catalog numbers of items offered; deliverables; and/or terms of payment shall be publicly available information regardless of any designation to the contrary by a Respondent.

The City will endeavor to restrict the distribution of materials properly designated as confidential or proprietary to only those individuals involved in the City’s review and analysis of the submissions; however, the City shall not, in any way, be liable or responsible for the disclosure of any such record or any parts thereof if disclosure is required or otherwise permitted under the California Public Records Act (Gov. Code, § 7920.000, et seq.) or other applicable laws.

To the greatest extent allowed by law, [Respondent’s Name] shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the City of Mendota, and each of its officers, agents, and employees from and against any request, action, or proceeding of any nature and any damages or liability of any nature, including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees, arising out of, concerning, or in any way involving the City of Mendota’s maintenance of any materials or information in this submission that [Respondent’s Name] has labeled as confidential, proprietary, or otherwise not subject to disclosure as a public record pursuant to the California Public Records Act (Government Code section 7920.000, et seq.).

1.8 MODIFICATIONS

The City reserves the right to issue subsequent RFPs, to modify any requirements contained within the RFP, and to request revised submittals from Respondents. Addenda issued by the City interpreting or changing any of the items herein shall be incorporated in Respondents’ revised submissions.

If a Respondent discovers any ambiguity, conflict, discrepancy, omission, or other error in this RFP or its accompanying materials, said Respondent shall immediately notify the designated Contact Person of such error in writing and request clarification or modification of the RFP document. Modifications will be made by written addenda issued to all parties in receipt of this RFP.
7 If a Respondent fails to notify the designated Contact Person prior to the date fixed for the submission of proposals of a known error in the RFP, or an error that reasonably should have been known, said submission shall be at the party’s own risk. If such a Respondent’s submission is selected, they shall not be entitled to additional compensation or time by reason of the error or its subsequent correction.

Any oral communications by the City’s designated Contact Person or any other City staff member concerning this RFP are not binding on the City and shall in no way modify this RFP or the obligations of the City or any Respondents.

The City of Mendota (“City”), incorporated in 1942, is a general law city. The City is governed by a five-member City Council, whose members are elected at large and operate under a Council-City Manager form of government. Mendota is a full-service city located on the west side of Fresno County. It is approximately 45 miles west of Fresno, the 5th largest city in California, and 20 miles east of Interstate 5, the main north-south link between Los Angeles and San Francisco. Mendota is a growing rural community with quality parks, an excellent school district, affordable housing, and a community rich in volunteerism and civic engagement. The City of Mendota has a residential population of approximately 11,500.

3.1 PROJECT INFORMATION
A. Project Description/Background
The City of Mendota (“City”) is requesting proposals from qualified parties (“Respondent(s)” or “Consultant(s)”) to complete a comprehensive review and revision to the City's Personnel Rules Handbook. As a part of this RFP, it is expected that any recommended and/or existing personnel policies be simplified, deconflicted, updated, rendered best practice and in compliance with FSLA and applicable California Laws. It is also expected that training to all supervisors on interpreting and implementing the updated personnel policies will be included to ensure that there is a shared understanding and consistency throughout the organization.

3.2 SCOPE OF SERVICES
The City is seeking consultant(s) with expertise in municipal personnel rules administration to assist in reviewing and updating the City’s Personnel Rules Handbook. The scope of work outlined below is intended to serve as a guideline, and respondents are encouraged to propose alternative or additional strategies that they believe would enhance the project.

The primary objectives of this project are as follows:

1. Review and Evaluation:
o Conduct a thorough review of the City’s current Personnel Rules Handbook. o Identify which policies are mandated by federal and state law. o Evaluate the policies for clarity, consistency, and flexibility while ensuring they align with best practices and minimize potential legal risks. o Identify and address any conflicting or redundant policies within the manual. o Compare the existing Personnel Rules Handbook to those of other California municipalities to identify areas for improvement and ensure the City's policies 14 reflect current best practices.

2. Policy Recommendations:
o Consultant will prepare a draft written report describing the Personnel Rules Handbook review process, methodology, findings, and recommendations to the City Manager and City Council.
o Provide specific recommendations to simplify and streamline the policies, making them easier to understand and implement, while ensuring they remain legally compliant and protect the City from liability.
o Make recommendations to ensure policies are consistent across departments and adaptable to future changes in the workforce or legal landscape. o Address the need for any amendments, updates, new additions, or replacements to the existing Personnel Rules Handbook, including but not limited to the following areas:
 Personnel System
 Personnel Recruitment and Terms of Employment
 Changes in Employment Status
 Leave of Absence and Disability Accommodations
 Disciplinary Actions
 Layoff Procedures
 Grievance Procedures
 Prevention of Harassment
 Substance Abuse Policy and Testing
 Safety
 Miscellaneous
 Employer-Employee Relations

3. Training:
o Once the revised Personnel Rules Handbook has been finalized, consultant will provide training for supervisors and key personnel on the updated policies to ensure proper understanding and implementation across the City.

4. Ongoing updates:
o The City is also interested in an optional add-on to the contract, whereby the consultant would provide ongoing updates to the Personnel Rules Handbook on an annual basis, or sooner if significant legal changes occur that necessitate revisions to the handbook. This additional service would ensure that the handbook remains current and compliant with evolving laws and regulations.

Re: Liebert Cassidy Whitmore Response to City of Mendota Request for Proposal for Personnel Rules Handbook Revision Services
Dear Ms. Lekumberry:

Thank you for the opportunity to submit a proposal to provide personnel rules handbook revision services to the City of Mendota. We appreciate our relationship with the City, in fact, in 2016, Liebert Cassidy Whitmore (“LCW”) performed the City’s updates to the personnel rules handbook, and welcome the opportunity to assist in this project. LCW is interested in and committed to provide services to the City of Mendota.

LCW has represented a variety of public entities and non-profit organizations in all aspects of employment law and labor relations since 1980. We have offices in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Fresno, San Diego, and Sacramento and have more than 100 attorneys on staff. We are proud of the depth of experience, varied personalities, and the diversity of skills our firm offers our clients. The attorneys with whom you will work are experts in and knowledgeable about public sector agencies and non-profit corporations. We regularly work with our clients to ensure that they have prompt, quality answers to their questions. We are a proactive firm and we believe in assisting our clients to avoid problems and disputes before they arise. Likewise we strive to minimize the costs to our clients.

In the last fiscal year alone, we reviewed and revised the personnel policies and procedures of over 40 public agencies. We are also pioneers in creating the Liebert Library, a digital resource for public employers that includes sample forms and checklists as well as comprehensive sample personnel policies with detailed commentary on the statute/reason the policy is recommended as well as tips on how to customize the policies to your specific agency and how to best implement them. The City of Mendota is currently a premium subscriber to the Liebert Library. This gives the City access to our Model Personnel Policies and will help the City with this project. In addition, as a member of ERMA, you may be eligible to have part of the cost of updating your policies reimbursed by various ERMA funds.

6 B) Company Information

1. Key Personnel
We recommend Partner Michael Youril, Senior Counsel Scott Fera and Associate Anthony Co be assigned to work together on this project for the City of Mendota. They have reviewed multiple handbooks and personnel rules for public agencies. The range of services have included complete rewrites and replacement, updates to existing policies, and legal updates for legislative changes. Michael, Scott and Antony can represent that they have collectively revised policies and handbooks for dozens of public agencies.

An attorney will be assigned to complete the updates in accordance with the timelines identified in our response. All Associate work will be reviewed by a Partner prior to being provided to the City. Our model allows us to staff assignments with attorneys with a lower hourly rate.

Below are excerpts from the professional resumes of each attorney, and the attorney’s full resumes are included in addendum. Each excerpt describes that attorney’s experience and qualifications.

2. Qualifications and Experience
Over the past fiscal year, we reviewed and updated the personnel policies and procedures for more than 40 public agencies. Additionally, we developed the Liebert Library, an innovative digital resource for public employers. This library features sample forms, checklists, and comprehensive personnel policies with detailed commentary on the underlying statutes and the rationale for each policy. It also includes practical guidance on customizing policies to meet the unique needs of each agency and effectively implementing them.

We constantly sharpen our expertise on personnel rule updates as a result of all of the other services we provide to our public agency clients. For example, our litigation and administrative hearings work informs how we can better update personnel rules because we see firsthand how outdated or ambiguous rules can cause liability. During our labor negotiations and grievance handling work, we spot ambiguous MOU provisions and Los Angeles | San Francisco | Fresno | San Diego | Sacramento www.lcwlegal.com
8 negotiate changes so each person reading the provision can clearly understand one single and legally compliant meaning. Our expertise on public retirement law allows us to advise our client agencies how to word rules and ordinances to avoid creating unintended vested rights and benefits. Our deep experience with wage and hour laws informs the way we review rules about compensation, overtime, alternate work weeks, and work schedules. Our experience in handling investigations and the public employee discipline process has taught us the importance of developing work rules and discipline procedures that provide clear notice to employees of prohibited behavior and that comply with all laws.

Over the last two years, Michael, Scott and Anthony have led policies reviews for more than 30 public agencies, including the representative list below:
• City of Burbank
• City of Dinuba

C) Proposal / Response to Scope of Services

1. Project Approach, Methodology, and Timeline
We provide both partial and full review and revision of personnel policies. Our work in this area consists of the following steps:
a. Discussing with Agency staff the areas of the Personnel Rules Handbook requiring substantive revision.
b. Reviewing existing Personnel Rules Handbook and any other needed documents (i.e. Collective Bargaining Agreements).
i. LCW will identify which policies are mandated federal and state law.

Los Angeles | San Francisco | Fresno | San Diego | Sacramento www.lcwlegal.com
10 ii. LCW will ensure the policies align with current best practices and minimize potential legal risks.
c. Preparing a revised draft of the Personnel Rules Handbook (within 6 months of contract dates). The draft will be in the format you require, such as a draft that has deletions indicated by strike outs and new language indicated by highlights. The draft will either include annotations or a separate letter explaining major changes. d. Meet with Agency staff to present, review and discuss proposed changes to the Personnel Rules Handbook
e. Revise Personnel Rules Handbook, if needed.
f. Submit final Personnel Rules Handbook to the Agency. g. Optional add-on training, upon request. LCW can train key personnel on the updated policies to ensure proper understanding and implementation. LCW has been training public sector managers, supervisors, and employees since 1980 on all employment-related topics in a variety of dynamic in-person and on-line trainings. As a member of our Central Valley ERC, the City is familiar with the quality of our training program. We can bring that same quality in-house for the City – training the full workforce on the new handbook, identifying key updates and City procedures. We can work with you to craft a program that meets your needs.
h. On-going updates: As a subscriber to the Liebert Library, the City has access to updated policies. The City can make these changes or work with LCW to update their policies. This can be done on an as needed basis or annually (which is when most policies are updated due to new legislation.).

We anticipate the following timeline, subject to the City’s availability and preferences. The timeline may be reduced if some dates policies are replaced using the Liebert Library Model Policies templates rather than redlining dated policies.

Within 14 Days of Award of Project:
a) Conduct an initial meeting with City staff to discuss existing MOUs, Personnel Manuals, Administrative Policies, Employee-Employer Relations Resolution, At-Will Resolution, At-Will Ordinance, and other relevant documents, and identify with staff practices, observations, and any issues of concern.

Los Angeles | San Francisco | Fresno | San Diego | Sacramento www.lcwlegal.com
11 Within 60 Days of Award of Project:
a) Review and analyze City’s MOUs, Personnel Manuals, Administrative Policies, Employee-Employer Relations Resolution, At-Will Resolution, AtWill Ordinance and relevant documents to ensure compliance with federal and state laws, codes and regulations, and best management and personnel practices.
b) Continue to communicate with City staff regarding any questions or issues that arise during the review and analysis process.

Within 90-120 Days of Award of Project:
a) Prepare revised draft of Personnel Rules and Regulations. b) Conduct follow-up meeting with City staff to discuss LCW’s report and draft with comments and suggestions.
c) Provide further revisions if necessary, following the meeting. d) Submit final Personnel Rules and Regulations to the City. e) Provide an executive summary and presentation for City Council.

2. Cost Proposal
Hourly Billable Rates
Pricing offered on a time-and-materials basis would be based on our firm’s hourly billable rates:

Partner Michael Youril ......................$450
Senior Counsel Scott Fera..................$375
Associate Anthony Co .......................$270
Invoices are payable upon receipt and due within 30 days.

A comprehensive personnel policy audit generally costs between $25,000 - $30,000. This is just an estimate – length of policy and last revision date could impact the estimate. Upon receipt of the existing Personnel Rules Handbook, we can provide a more detailed budget and timeline. The “review and evaluation” and the “policy recommendation” of the Personnel Rules Handbook will be billed hourly. We can also advise if it would be in the Agency’s financial favor to use the Liebert Model Personnel Policies as a starting point and customize from there. The cost to renew the Liebert Los Angeles | San Francisco | Fresno | San Diego | Sacramento www.lcwlegal.com
12 Library Premium subscription is $1,000. The cost for optional customized training is based on the number of hours:
1 hour …………………………………………$1,275 - $1,575
2 hour …………………………………………$2,000 - $2,325
3 hour …………………………………………$2,250 - $2,800
4 hour …………………………………………$2,800 - $3,300
5 hour …………………………………………$3,100 - $3,950
6 hour …………………………………………$3,400 - $4,000
7 hour …………………………………………$4,000 - $4,500
8 hour …………………………………………$4,500 - $5,000
Travel one way ………………………………..$750 if more than 1.5 hour Three month recording access…………………$500
Other Costs and Charges
Unlike many firms, we do not bill for secretarial time or telephone charges.

Documents are sent electronically unless specifically requested otherwise, or when electronic transmission is not an option. Copying is charged at fifteen cents ($.15) per page. Additional prints, postage and special deliveries (i.e. Fed-Ex, UPS, DHL, messenger service), and other hired deliveries completed at the request of the client or necessary to comply with court or other deadlines will also be billed to the client.

Our firm bills for travel time at the attorney’s hourly rate - for the time it takes to travel from the office to our client and back, or the time it takes from the attorney’s residence to our client and back, whichever is less. Importantly, we do not double bill for our travel time; our travel billing is prorated by the time we spend on billable work for the agency or other clients, like phone calls and dictation.

3. Acceptance of the Terms of the RFP
We have reviewed the agreement and request the following redaction and additions to the indemnification selection noted in red:

Indemnification. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Contractor shall defend, indemnify, and hold the City, its officials, officers, employees, volunteers, and agents free and harmless from any and all claims, demands, causes of action, costs, expenses, liability, loss, damage, or injury of any kind, in law or equity, to property or persons, including wrongful death, in any manner arising out of, pertaining to, or incident to any alleged acts, negligent acts, errors, or omissions of Contractor, its officials, officers, employees, subcontractors, consultants or agents in connection with the performance of Contractor’s Services, the Project, Los Angeles | San Francisco | Fresno | San Diego | Sacramento www.lcwlegal.com
13 and/or this Agreement, including, without limitation, the payment of all consequential damages, expert witness fees, and attorneys’ fees and other related costs and expenses, except such damage is caused by the sole negligence of the City or any of its officers, employees, servants, agents, successors or assigns. This Section shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

We acknowledge the requirements therein if awarded a contract: to provide Certificates of Insurance evidencing required coverage types and the minimum limits as described in Section 1.11 of the RFP as well as to obtain and maintain an active City of Mendota business license throughout the contracted period. If awarded a contract, we will also provide a completed IRS Form W-9.

1 804.1 - Purposes for Sick Leave
Sick leave is paid leave from work that an employee may use for the following purposes:
(a) Diagnosis, care, or treatment of an existing health condition of, or preventative care for the employee themselves or any of the following family members of the employee: a child of any age or dependency status; a parent; a parent-in-law; a spouse; a registered domestic partner; a grandparent; a grandchildren; or a sibling; or (b) Diagnosis, care, or treatment of an existing health condition of, or preventative care for a “designated person”; or
Commentary:

Addition of a “Designated Person” to Employee Sick Leave Rights: AB 1041 (enacted in 2022; effective January 1, 2023) expands the class of people for whom an employee may take sick leave in order to provide care. AB 1041 authorizes employees to designate a “designated person” for whom the employee can use sick leave to provide care. (Lab. Code § 245.5(c)(8).) Employers are authorized to limit employee designation of a “designated person” to one “designated person” per 12-month period for paid sick days. (Lab. Code § 245(c)(8).)
AB 1041 provides that a “designated person” means “a person identified at the time the employee requests sick leave.” (Lab. Code § 245.5(c)(8).) AB 1041 allows employees to designate the “designated person” at the time that the employee requests paid sick leave. (Lab. Code § 245.5(c)(8).) (c) For an employee who is a victim of domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, or other crime in order for the employee to engage in any of the following activities: (1) obtain or attempt to obtain a temporary restraining order or other court assistance to help ensure the health safety or welfare of the employee or their child; or (2) obtain medical attention or psychological counseling, services from a shelter, program or crisis center, or (3) participate in safety planning or other actions to increase safety.

Commentary:

California Has Two Different Sick Leave Laws: California has two (2) different sick leave laws: (1) Healthy Workplace Healthy Family Act of 2014; and (2) The Kin Care Law. While these laws are separate and distinct, they overlap in certain ways. a. California’s Healthy Workplace Healthy Family Act of 2014 (Lab. Code §§ 245-249) requires public agencies to provide paid sick leave. This law entitles any employee who has worked at least thirty (30) days in twelve (12) months with an employer in California to 2 accrue sick leave. Due to the low bar for eligibility, employees who have never received employer-provided sick leave before – such as temporary employees, seasonal employees, or part time employees – are now entitled to earn sick leave at the rate of one hour of sick leave for every 30 hours worked (about 5.7 hours a month for full time work). In addition, the Healthy Workplace Healthy Family Act of 2014 expands the permissible purposes of sick leave. As stated above, employees can now use paid sick leave to attend to not only their own illness, but: (1) issues related to domestic violence; or (2) the illness of the family members listed in the Kin Care leave law, plus the following additional family members – siblings, parent in laws, grandchildren, and grandparents. b. California’s 2001 Kin Care law (Lab. Code §§ 233-234) requires those public agencies who already provide paid sick leave to expand the permissible use of that sick leave, so that employees can use up to one-half of accrued and available annual sick leave entitlement to attend to the illness of the following family members: child, parent, spouse, or registered domestic partner. (Lab. Code § 233(a).) SB 579 (enacted in 2015; effective January 1, 2016) made two changes to the Kin Care law to match the Healthy Workplace Healthy Family Act of 2014. First, Kin Care leave can be used to attend to issues related to domestic violence. (Lab. Code § 233(b)(30)(A).) Second, the list of Kin Care family members was expanded to match the list in Healthy Workplace Healthy Family Act of 2014. (Lab. Code § 233(b)(2) (siblings, parent in laws, grandchildren, and grandparents)).

Compliance with Both of California’s Sick Leave Laws: The Healthy Workplace Healthy Family Act of 2014 provides that it is independent of any other rights employees have under other laws. (Lab. Code § 245.) As a result, the Kin Care law will now apply to all employees who are entitled to sick leave under the Healthy Workplace Healthy Family Act of 2014. This policy is drafted to comply with both laws.

The concept for this policy is to provide those who were not entitled to paid sick leave before the 2014 law – generally seasonal, temporary, or extra help employees - to receive only the sick leave required by the 2014 law. Those who were receiving sick leave before the 2014 law, conversely, continue to receive the generally higher sick leave accruals that they have been receiving, but they now enjoy the expanded uses for sick leave under the 2014 law. Because this approach limits changes to those the law requires, the employer can generally narrow the scope of any necessary collective bargaining to the impacts of the changes imposed by the 2014 law.

4 804.2 - Terms of Sick Leave
a.) Accrual & Carryover for Different Categories of Employees:

1. Full time employees who are not [seasonal/temporary/extra help] accrue [eight (8) hours] of sick leave for each calendar month of paid status. Accrued sick leave carries over from year to year. No accrual limit applies.

2. A [part time/seasonal/temporary/extra help employee] who works 30 or more days within a year from the commencement of employment with the [City/County/District/Agency] accrues one hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hours worked. Accrued and unused sick leave carries over to the following year of employment but a [part-time/seasonal/temporary/extra help employee] stops earning sick leave once they have accrued 80 hours or 10 work days/shifts of such leave, whichever is greater.

Commentary:

Annual Use and Accrual Caps: SB 616 (enacted in 2023; effective January 1, 2024) increases the accrual amount and accrual cap under The Healthy Workplace Healthy Family Act of 2014. (Lab. Code § 246((b)(3), (j)
SB 616, allows the employer to limit the use of sick leave to “40 hours or five (5) days in each year of employment”. (Lab. Code § 246(d).) In a 2015 opinion letter that applied specifically to the initial version of The Healthy Workplace Healthy Family Act of 2014, the California Department of Industrial Relations (“DIR”) stated that this law provides a minimum standard for all employees – including those who work fewer than 8 hours in a day and those who work more. As a result, the opinion letter advises to provide “24 hours or three days of paid sick leave, whichever is more for an employee.” (DLSE Opinion Letter, https://www.dir.ca.gov/dlse/opinions/2015.08.07.pdf, uploaded August 7, 2015.) While the opinion letter concerned a prior version of the law and has not been updated to reflect the increased accrual amounts under the amended law, DIR guidance on the amended law states that employers should provide employees 40 hours or five (5) days of paid sick leave, whichever results in more leave for the employee. (DIR FAQs, https://www.dir.ca.gov/dlse/paid_sick_leave.htm, last updated December 21, 2023.) SB 616 allows the employer to limit the accrual of sick leave to “80 hours or 10 days”. (Lab.

Code § 246(j).) As provided above regarding sick leave use, this policy sets the sick leave accrual cap at “80 hours or 10 days, whichever is greater.” Employers should provide employees paid sick leave according to the 2015 opinion letter in order to avoid incurring 5 penalties that may be imposed for violation of this law. (Lab. Code § 248.5.) Credit Entire Accrual at Once, or Earn over the Year and Carry Over: SB 616 amended The Healthy Workplace Healthy Family Act of 2014 to require that the employer undertake either of the following: (1) provide the entire 40 hours or five (5) days per year accrual at the beginning of each calendar year, year of employment or 12-month period; or (2) allow the accrued and unused sick leave to carry over to the year following the year it was earned, subject to the accrual limits discussed above. (Lab. Code § 246(d).) Most public agencies will provide full-time employees sick leave each month rather than crediting it all at the beginning of the year. As a result, this policy provides for a carry-over of leave from one year to the following year. However, if your agency credits the entire, annual sick leave amount at once for some or all employees, modify this policy to eliminate the accrual and carry-over portions of this policy. (Lab. Code § 246(d).) b.) Sick Leave Use
An employee may use accrued sick leave, in a minimum increment of two hours, beginning on the 90th day after the first day of employment with the [City/County/District/Agency], subject to the limits and request provisions in this policy.

Commentary:
90-Day Waiting Time: This 90-day waiting time is part of the Healthy Workplace Healthy Family Act of 2014 and is measured in calendar days. (Lab. Code § 246(c).) The waiting period will not affect continuing employees who have always had sick leave under your agency’s policies.

Minimum Increment: Public agencies may set a minimum increment for paid sick leave use that is less than the two hours listed in this policy. This policy uses the largest minimum increment – two hours – that the law allows (Lab. Code § 246(j)) as a means to prevent some types of sick leave abuse. Because the Healthy Workplace Healthy Family Act of 2014 generally does not allow an employer to request verification of the need for leave, the larger the minimum increment that the employer uses, the less likely an employee is to use sick leave in very small increments or as means to cover tardiness to work or a late return to work from a break.

Rate of Pay for Sick Leave: The Healthy Workplace Healthy Family Act of 2014 allows public agencies to calculate paid sick leave for FLSA overtime-eligible employees in either of the following ways: (1) dividing the employee’s total wages, excluding overtime pay, by the total number of hours worked in the workweek in which the employee uses the sick time (Lab. Code § 246(k)(1)); or (2) dividing the employee’s total wages, excluding overtime pay, by the total number of hours worked in the prior 90 days of employment. (Lab. Code § 246(k)(2).) Agencies can calculate the value of paid sick leave for FLSA-exempt employees 6 in the same manner as the employer calculates wages for other paid leaves. (Lab. Code § 246(k)(3).)
c.) Protected Sick Leave:

An employee's use of paid sick leave provided pursuant to the Labor Code is protected leave.

Commentary:

Sick Leave Requirements: Labor Code section 233 provides general guidance concerning sick leave requirements.

Protected Paid Sick Leave: Both the Healthy Workplace Healthy Family Act of 2014 and Kin Care Leave law protect the use of sick leave. (See Lab. Code §§ 246.5(c)(1); 246(d); 233(c)); 246.5.) This means that your agency cannot count the sick leave provided under these laws toward any excessive absence disciplinary policy.

Written Notice: The Healthy Workplace Healthy Family Act of 2014 requires the employer to provide each employee with written notice of the amount of paid sick leave available with the paycheck on each designated pay date. (Lab. Code § 246(i).) While public agencies are exempt from the requirement to provide the itemized wage statement referenced by Labor Code section 226 (See Lab. Code § 226(i)), they are still required to provide a written notice that states the employee’s leave balance each payday. (Lab. Code § 246(i).) Failure to provide this written notice subjects the employer to stiff penalties, including liquidated damages to affected employees. (Lab. Code § 248.5.)
d.) Sick Leave Request: To request to use sick leave if the need for leave is foreseeable, an employee must give the immediate supervisor reasonable advance written or oral notice. If the need for sick leave is not foreseeable, the employee shall provide written or oral notice of the need for the leave as soon as practicable. If the employee is required to be absent on sick leave for more than one day, the employee must keep the immediate supervisor informed each day as to the date the employee expects to return to work and the purpose of the leave. Failure to request sick leave as required by this policy without good reason, may result in the employee being treated as absent without leave.

Commentary:

Supervisor Has No Veto Power: The Healthy Workplace Healthy Family Act of 2014 requires only that the employee give advance notice if the sick leave is foreseeable; otherwise, the employee may provide notice as soon as is practicable. (Lab. Code § 246(l).) 7 The Healthy Workplace Healthy Family Act of 2014 allows the employee to provide either a verbal or written request for leave. (Lab. Code § 246.5(a).) Moreover, the Healthy Workplace Healthy Family Act of 2014 prohibits public agencies from denying requests for sick leave (Lab. Code § 246.5(c)(1)); and allows an employee to decide how much leave they need to use. (Lab. Code § 246(j).) Moreover, the Healthy Workplace Healthy Family Act of 2014 establishes a rebuttable presumption of “unlawful retaliation” if the employer denies an employee the right to use accrued sick days. (Lab. Code § 246.5(c)(2).) This policy applies the Healthy Workplace Healthy Family Act of 2014 sick leave request standard to all requests for sick leave, even after the annual 24 hours or three (3) days required by the Healthy Workplace Healthy Family Act of 2014 leave is exhausted, because using differing sick leave request procedures would generally be too difficult to administer. e) Certification: The [City/County/District/Agency] may require that employees who are not [seasonal/temporary/extra help employees], must provide a physician’s certification to support any absence that involves the illness of the employee or family member if the [City/County/District/Agency] suspects that there is an abuse of sick leave by the employee. All employees, including [seasonal/temporary/extra help], who use paid leave to address issues related to domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, or other crimes and who cannot provide advance notice of their need for leave must provide certification of the need for leave within a reasonable time thereafter.

Commentary:

Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault and Stalking: Labor Code section 230 provides general guidance on issues related to domestic violence, sexual assault or stalking. (See Lab. Code § 230(d)(2).)
Verification of Sick Leave: The Healthy Workplace Healthy Family Act of 2014 is silent as to whether the employer can require a doctor’s note to verify sick leave. The following provisions of that law imply that the employer cannot require any verification: the requirement that public agencies provide leave on the employee’s request (Lab. Code § 246.5(a)); the provision that allows an employee to decide how much leave they need to use (Lab. Code § 246(k)); and the provision that prohibits agencies from denying the leave. (Lab.

Code § 246.5(c)(1).) However, if an employer has concerns about an employee abusing sick leave, the employer is not prohibited from requiring certification. Public agencies should maintain consistency in their enforcement of sick leave abuse. If the employer provides seasonal/temporary or extra help employees with more than 40 hours or five (5) days of paid sick leave, then it may also require certification in the same manner as required in this policy for employees who are not seasonal/temporary or extra help (i.e., require certification after the employee has used 40 hours or five (5) days of paid sick leave). f) Sick Leave on Separation from Employment: Unused sick leave is not cashed out upon termination, resignation, retirement, or other separation from employment. Unused sick leave may be converted to retirement service credits only as may be permitted under 8 applicable retirement system laws and regulations.

Commentary:

Cash Out of Sick Leave: This policy does not allow cash out of sick leave, because the Healthy Workplace Healthy Family Act of 2014 states that the employer is not required to do so (Lab. Code § 246(f)(1)) and because sick leave cash out can trigger additional taxation based on a constructive receipt theory. Should your agency provide employees with the option to cash out sick leave or vacation leave on an annual basis, we recommend consultation with legal counsel regarding the constructive receipt doctrine and the potential impacts of such doctrine to your agency’s cash out procedure. The Healthy Workplace Healthy Family Act of 2014 is silent regarding whether unused sick leave can be converted to service credit under the California Public Employees Retirement System (“CalPERS”) or the ‘37 Act, so this policy allows sick leave conversion in order to be competitive with other public agencies.
(g) Sick Leave Reinstatement: If an employee separates and is rehired within one (1) year from separation, accrued (or front-loaded) and unused sick leave, to a maximum of 10 days or 80 hours, whichever is greater, will be reinstated. An employee who worked at least 90 days in the initial employment with the [City/County/District/Agency] may immediately use reinstated sick leave. An employee who had not worked 90 days in the initial employment with the [City/County/District/Agency] must work the remaining amount of the 90 day-qualifying period to be able to use accrued (or front-loaded) sick leave.

Commentary:

Sick Leave Reinstatement: The Healthy Workplace Healthy Family Act of 2014 requires sick leave reinstatement. (Lab. Code § 246(g)(2).) The only exception to the sick leave reinstatement requirement, other than the time limitation on reinstatement, is if the employer already cashed out unused sick leave upon the employee’s separation, which is not required by the Healthy Workplace Healthy Family Act of 2014. (Lab. Code § 246(g)(1),(2).) Note that if your agency has a sick leave reinstatement right that is different than that required under the Healthy Workplace Healthy Family Act of 2014, modify this portion of the policy.

AGENDA ITEM – STAFF REPORT
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND COUNCILMEMBERS
FROM: KEVIN W. SMITH, CHIEF OF POLICE
VIA: CRISTIAN GONZALEZ, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: AUTHORIZING THE ADDITION OF THREE POLICE OFFICER POSITIONS FOR THE

MENDOTA POLICE DEPARTMENT THAT WILL BE PARTIALLY FUNDED THROUGH THE

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE COMMUNITY ORIENTED POLICING SERVICES HIRING GRANT

PROGRAM
DATE: JANUARY 21, 2025
ISSUE
Shall the City Council adopt Resolution No. 25-04, authorizing the addition of three police officer positions for the Mendota Police Department that will be partially funded through the Department of Justic Community Oriented Policing Services Hiring Grant Program?

BACKGROUND
The City of Mendota (“City”) Police Department (the “Department”) is currently authorized a total of 19 sworn officer positions. Out of these 19 positions, only 7 positions are regular (with benefits) full-time police officers. For a breakdown of the sworn officer positions please see the following chart:

Position Description Number of Positions Current Vacancies Chief of Police* 1 0
Police Lieutenant* 1 0
Police Sergeant* 4 0
Regular Police Officer* 12 (5 are School Resource Officers) 0 Contract Police Officer** 1 1
*These positions (in bold) are full-time positions with benefits outlined in their respective MOU or benefit resolution
**These are full-time positions with no benefits (other than the same offered to part-time employees) Currently, the Mendota Police Department is fully staffed with 18 regular full-time positions, (with benefits) there are currently no vacancies. The Department currently has one (1) contract Police Officer position which is not filled. It is important to note that out of the twelve (12) Regular Police Officer positions, five (5) of those officers currently serve strictly as School Resource Officers (“SRO(s)”) for the Mendota Unified School District (“MUSD”). Out of the five SROs four are paid 100% by MUSD and MUSD pays 75% of the remaining officer. The SROs must be dedicated full-time to their designated school sites and may only assist with City duties on an emergency basis.

Currently, the City employs thirteen (13) fully benefitted regular sworn officer positions, this does not include SRO’s, however, two (2) of those are administrative positions and four (4) of those are supervisor positions.

To be clear, there are eleven (11) officers to provide patrol and other law enforcement services to the City.

In general, larger cities have a greater presence of police officers than smaller and mid-sized jurisdictions. As a rule, in California, it is recommended that we employ at least 1 Police Officer per 1,000 residents, this is the standard. The latest U.S. Census estimated that the City’s population is almost 13,000 residents. Moreover, it is believed that the City jumps in population to about 25,000 residents during the summer months due to our robust agricultural industry. Following the general rule in California, the Mendota Police Department should have a minimum of 13 police officers, however realistically speaking it should have at least 14 positions to account for the underreported population in the City of Mendota.

ANALYSIS
Over the past several years, the City has experienced a significant increase in its population and the Department has experienced an increase in demands, duties, and the programs that it oversees and executes. The Department continues to remain dedicated and committed to providing the citizens of Mendota with the best possible public safety services. However, over the past several years, it has become exceedingly difficult for the Department to meet the increased demand for public safety services, due to the lack of growth in the Department’s personnel. It has slowly become evident that the Department’s efficiency and effectiveness is struggling as it is attempting to do more with minimal staffing.

In strategizing a potential solution to be able to effectively meet and exceed the community’s needs as well as to address the employee burn out, stress, and morale issues, it was identified that there is a need for additional sworn officer positions. The Department will greatly benefit from the addition of three additional Regular Police Officer positions (with benefits), so that it may effectively address the community’s demands but also provide the Department with the capacity it needs to meet additional service needs. The Department currently does not have a Detective position which creates a struggle to provide the level of quality service in police investigations.

The Department is also unable to effectively investigate criminal gang activity since it cannot assign a police officer to serve as a gang enforcement liaison. These investigations require undercover officers and networking with the Fresno County Sheriff’s Department’s MAGEC Task Force, to be effective.

In 2023, the Sergeants and Officers collectively worked a total of 3,488.25 hours of overtime costing the City approximately $133,942.60. Three additional full time police officers would result in approximately 6,552 hours of coverage minus vacation and/or sick leave utilized. This would reduce the mandatory overtime hours that our current staff are working, therefore reducing burnout, stress, and low morale and the need to expend overtime money. The Department is optimistic that the creation of these fully benefitted police officer positions, will allow the Department to be viewed as a desired agency to work for like some of the other law enforcement agencies. It is also notable that if the City Council elects to move forward with adding the three additional regular full-time entry level police officer positions, it will be at least a minimum of six (6) months before the officers become solo beat officers due to the lengthy hiring and training process, which is required by the Peace Officer’s Standards of Training (POST).

FISCAL IMPACT
The Department Of Justice Community Oriented Policing Services (“COPS”) Hiring Grant Program was awarded to the City of Mendota Police Department on October 1, 2024 to hire an additional three (3) full-time benefited Police Officers. This is a three-year grant that funds the positions over the course of the grant. The total project cost is $565,934. Of that cost, COPS is funding $375,000 or 66.26% of the total amount. The City is responsible for a match amount of $190,935 or 33.74% of the total project. The cost associated to the City is spread out over the 3- year term of the grant through bi-weekly payroll.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 25-04, authorizing the addition of three police officer positions for the Mendota Police Department that will be partially funded through the Department of Justic Community Oriented Policing Services Hiring Grant Program.

ALL NECESSARY DOCUMENTS
DATE: JANUARY 21, 2025
ISSUE
Shall the City Council adopt Resolution No. 25-05, approving the School Resource Officer Agreement with the Mendota Unified School District and authoring the City Manager to execute all necessary documents?

BACKGROUND
In 2015, the City of Mendota (“City”) and the Mendota Unified School District (“MUSD”) entered into a three-year agreement for a School Resource Officer (“SRO”) program, initially staffing one SRO. Due to the program’s success in fostering a safer school environment, the agreement was renewed in 2018, expanding the program to three SROs. In 2023, the number of SROs increased to five. SROs have become integral to maintaining safety, addressing disciplinary issues, and ensuring a secure environment for students, staff, and property. They assist in student investigations and disciplinary proceedings, contributing to a more effective educational atmosphere.

ANALYSIS
The SRO Agreement is up for renewal, and a review of the program's effectiveness indicates that it has generally succeeded in enhancing school safety, reducing incidents, and fostering positive student relationships.

FISCAL IMPACT
The City will pay 25% of one SRO’s salary and benefits from the General Fund. The MUSD will pay the remaining 75% of that SRO’s salary and benefits. Additionally, MUSD will pay 100% of the remaining 4 SRO’s salaries and benefits.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 25-05, approving the School Resource Officer Agreement with the Mendota Unified School District and authoring the City Manager to execute all necessary documents.

TERMS OFAGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and understandings herein, the Parties agree as follows:

1. Scope of Work
The District desires to utilize the services of qualified and capable SROs at the District’s campuses and the City agrees to assign sworn police officers to serve as such qualified and capable SROs at the District’s schools. The scope of work performed by SROs pursuant to this Agreement shall be those duties described in the Scope of Work document attached hereto as Exhibit “A” and incorporated by this reference.

The SROs will provide services to the District in the nature of law enforcement, security, and education, as set forth in this Agreement and Exhibit “A”. A total of five (5) SROs shall be assigned to the District by the City as of the Effective Date of this Agreement for the Term of this Agreement.

Subject to the provisions of paragraph 4 “Payment” below, the District and the City agree that the costs of the SROs shall be shared as follows:
a. The District shall be responsible for seventy-five percent (75%) and the City shall be responsible for twenty-five percent (25%) of the costs associated with one (1) SRO. b. The District shall be responsible for one hundred percent (100%) and the City shall be responsible for zero percent (0%) of the costs associated with the remaining four (4) SROs.
c. The cost sharing associated with any additional SROs engaged and assigned pursuant to this Agreement shall be reflected in a separate written agreement between the Parties.
4 The SROs assigned to the District shall devote the necessary time to provide services that are consistent with the proportion of costs for which the District is responsible. By way of example, one (1) SRO is expected to devote 75% of his/her working time to performing the SRO services, as described in Exhibit “A” and four (4) SROs are expected to devote 100% of their working time to performing the SRO services, as described in Exhibit “A.” The SROs shall provide services to cover the normal school year schedule, which includes regular class time, school events outside of regular class time (ex: football games), and during other times as requested by District. This includes but is not necessarily limited to times before and after class and during lunch breaks. The City, in consultation with District, shall make such assignments as necessary to ensure SROs are available to provide the SRO services to the District as outlined in this Agreement.

In times of emergencies, SROs and the City Police Officers will assist each other whether the event is on District property or in the City. When multiple SROs are on duty, the City will be reasonable when deploying SROs to City emergency events ensuring that at least one SRO is available to the District. During events at District locations, when an SRO is not available to respond and the event requires immediate or reasonable police response, a City Police Officer will respond at the earliest convenience. If the event does not require immediate police response, the event will be handled by the next available SRO.

The costs associated with the assignment of SROs under this Agreement shall include those costs normally associated with employing a Full Time City Police Officer by the City. Such costs generally include wages, including overtime, benefits, and the like. The Full Time Equivalent for one City Police Officer is approximately $7,590.00 a month at the time of this Agreement’s execution; however, the District and the City acknowledge that this amount is subject to change in the future and depending on time worked and overtime obligations. The District shall be responsible for overtime costs that result from any SRO’s work beyond his/her regular assigned work hours for services performed related to SRO duties. The City shall not unreasonably cause SROs to work beyond their regular assigned work hours when performing related to SRO duties.

The District agrees to reimburse the City for costs associated with any District-approved training the SROs receive. The District agrees to reimburse the City for the personal, professional and safety equipment and hiring expenses incurred for the SROs in an amount not to exceed $54,974.00. Reimbursement will be listed as a separate line item on the monthly invoices over a twelve (12) month period from July 1, 2024 - June 30, 2027 .

One SRO officer will be designated to provide law enforcement educational information and instruction as part of the District’s Career and Technical Education program (“CTE Program”). The designated SRO shall be credentialed by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing (“CTC”). The District will reimburse the City for the registration costs necessary to obtain the necessary CTC credentials as a separate line item on the monthly invoice following the designated SRO’s receipt of the necessary credentials.

The designated SRO shall at all times comply with the tuberculosis (“TB”) certification 5 requirements of Education Code section 49406. The City shall maintain on file the certificates showing that the designated SRO was examined and found free from active TB. These forms shall be regularly maintained and updated by the City and shall be available to District upon request or audit.

The designated SRO, as well any other sworn police officers who participate in the CTE program shall retain full peace officer powers and duties as defined by state and federal law.

However, in times of emergencies the City will make all efforts to deploy other officers and that the time scheduled for instruction shall not be interrupted unless reasonably necessary to respond and the event requires immediate response that cannot be provided by another officer.

3. Term
The term of this Agreement (“Term”) shall be for three (3) years, commencing on July 1, 2024, and continuing through June 30, 2027, unless sooner terminated, as set forth in paragraph 7 of this Agreement. This Agreement may be renewed for one (1) additional two-year term by mutual written agreement of the Parties.

4. Payment
The District shall pay the City, for police services provided by the SROs under this Agreement, as follows: The City shall provide the District with the presence of appropriate City police vehicles, operated by the SROs, including mileage, at no additional cost to the District.

Each invoice shall include the number of regular and overtime hours worked by each assigned SRO in providing services under this Agreement, and any additional information as reasonably requested by District. Payment shall be made to the City by the District no later than thirty (30) days from receipt of each invoice.

In recognition of possible future increases in the cost of the City providing services under this Agreement, the District and City agree to assume a pro rata share of any reasonable increase in an SRO’s compensation, based on the Parties’ relative contribution percentages for the SRO whose compensation is increased; however, if the City’s contribution under this Agreement is 0%, then the City’s contribution shall not increase, unless otherwise agreed to in writing.

All police officer personal, professional and safety equipment jointly acquired by the City and District for deployment and use by the SROs pursuant to this Agreement will be retained and owned by the Department upon the conclusion or termination of this Agreement.

ISSUE
Shall the City Council adopt Resolution No. 25-07, appointing residents to the Mendota Planning and Recreation Commissions?

BACKGROUND
The City of Mendota (“City”) maintains a Planning Commission which consists of five regular Commissioners and one Alternate Commissioner. Regular Planning Commissioners Jose Gutierrez, Alicia Escobedo, and Jessica Sanchez, and the Alternative Planning Commissioner position (which is currently vacant) will have their terms expire on January 31, 2025. Pursuant to Mendota Municipal Code (“MMC”) section 2.36.020, the Mayor selects individuals to appoint to the Planning Commission and the City Council approves the Mayoral appointments.

The City also maintains a Recreation Commission that consists of seven Commissioners, including three seats for designated representatives (a representative from the City Council, the Planning Commission, and the Mendota Unified School District (“MUSD”). Recreation Commissioners Joseph R. Riofrio (the City Council designated representative), Paul Ochoa (the MUSD designated representative), Marcela Alonzo, and Viviana Munguia will have their terms expire on January 31, 2025. Pursuant to MMC section 2.32.020, the City Council selects individuals to appoint to the Recreation Commission.

In accordance with California Government Code Sections 54970-54974, on December 20, 2024, the City published the Notice of Upcoming Commission Vacancies – Local Appointment List, which is attached. The notice listed the expiring appointed terms for the upcoming year for the Planning and Recreation Commissions, names of incumbents, the dates of their appointments, the qualifications for both Commissions, how and where interested individuals could apply to be considered for appointment to the Commissions, and the deadline to submit applications to the office of the City Clerk (which was Friday, January 10, 2025, at 5pm).

ANALYSIS
Planning Commission
As a result of the upcoming expiring terms on the Planning Commission, there will be three regular Planning Commissioner vacancies and one Alternate Planning Commissioner vacancy. A 2 total of four applications were submitted by the deadline for consideration. The individuals who submitted applications by the deadline for consideration are Moses Macias, Alicia Escobedo, Jessica Sanchez, and Veronica Gill, and their applications are attached for the Council’s review and consideration. The applications have been redacted to remove certain personal information due to privacy reasons.

Recreation Commission
As a result of the upcoming expiring terms on the Recreation Commission, there will be two regular Recreation Commissioner vacancies and two vacancies for designated representatives. At its January 21, 2025, regular meeting, the City Council will be appointing the City Council representative. In regard to the MUSD representative, Superintendent Dr. Lopez has selected Paul Ochoa to the position and his appointment requires the City Council’s ratification. For the remaining two Recreation Commissioner vacancies, two applications were submitted by the deadline for consideration, and they were submitted by Marcela Alonzo and Jessica Sanchez.

Their applications are attached for the Council’s review and consideration. The applications have been redacted to remove certain personal information due to privacy reasons.

FISCAL IMPACT
None.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council take two separate actions:

TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND COUNCILMEMBERS
FROM: CELESTE CABRERA-GARCIA, CITY CLERK
VIA: CRISTIAN GONZALEZ, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: DESIGNATING THE CITY COUNCIL’S PARTICIPATION AT EXTERNAL EVENTS DATE: JANUARY 21, 2025
ISSUE
Shall the City Council adopt Resolution No. 25-08, designating the City Council’s participation at external events.

BACKGROUND
Given the role and capacity of City Council Members, it has been encouraged that the Council Members attend various external events and trainings in order to represent the community and gain additional knowledge and expertise as it pertains to their positions.

ANALYSIS
There are a variety of major external events and conferences held throughout the year by different agencies. Additionally, if desired by the City Council, the City may also coordinate trips to state and federal agencies to meet with state and federal representatives.

Traditionally, the City Council has allocated funding in its budget to allow each Council Member to attend at least one event in a given fiscal year. If additional funding is available or if a Council Member is unable to attend a trip, it may allow other Council Members to attend more than one event. Moreover, it is important to note that in order to comply with the requirements of the Brown Act, only two members of the City Council should attend certain events (such as state and federal advocacy trips), depending on the nature of the Council’s participation. Exhibit “A” to the attached resolution outlines the events that the City Council participated in 2024.

FISCAL IMPACT
To be determined.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council discuss and consider which events the City Council would like to participate in, determine which Council Members will participate in each event, and adopt Resolution No. 25-08, designating the City Council’s participation at external events.

DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM
January 14, 2025
To: Mayor and City Council Members
From: Kevin W. Smith, Chief of Police
Subject: The Role of Traffic Citations and Officer Discretion in Ensuring Public Safety Ensuring the safety of our roads, pedestrians, and all who reside in our community is a top priority for the Mendota Police Department. Traffic enforcement and citations are critical tools in maintaining safety and preventing harm. However, I want to address the purpose of citations and explain why our officers often exercise discretion and issue fewer citations than they could.

Citations are not issued to punish or burden drivers, cyclists, or pedestrians; rather, they serve the following purposes:

1. Promoting Safety: Traffic laws exist to protect everyone. Citations encourage compliance with these laws, which reduces the likelihood of crashes and injuries.

2. Raising Awareness: Receiving a citation often serves as a wake-up call, reminding individuals of their responsibility on the road.

3. Deterrence: Knowing that unsafe behavior may result in a citation discourages reckless actions like speeding, distracted driving, or failing to yield to pedestrians.

4. Accountability: Citations hold individuals accountable for actions that endanger themselves or others, reinforcing the importance of safe choices.

Officers exercise discretion when deciding to issue a citation or not. While citations are necessary in some situations, our officers frequently choose to issue warnings or provide education instead. As noted consistently in my monthly reports to Council we issue warnings almost fifty percent of the time.

Mayor Martinez, you asked for a breakdown of all citations issued in November and December of 2023 and to make a comparison to the same months in 2024.

The stats are in a separate attachment, however, what you should note is that our officers issued 345 citations in November/December 2023.

In the same months of 2024 officers issued 254 citations. This is a 31% decrease in citations compared to 2023.

So what changed, why are there a few people complaining about receiving citations, especially since we are issuing fewer?
Some citizens were issued citations for whatever reason. The issuing Officer decided to write the citation based on their discretion. I have read the threads on social media. They are not complaining that the officers did anything illegal or that they were rude or inappropriate. They are simply complaining that they received a citation, that the officer did their job.

I know that tensions are high right now with many of our community members not knowing what is going to happen with all the rumors surrounding immigration laws. I have asked all staff members to be understanding and even more compassionate when addressing our citizens.
