FISCAL IMPACT
Th
e City of Montebello’s employees are represented by ten (10) different employee associations. Each of these employee associations is comprised of specific job classifications, separated by miscellaneous/non- safety groups and safety groups (i.e., Fire and Police). Salaries, benefits, fringe benefits and other related items are detailed in comprehensive, City Council approved Memoranda of Understanding, one for each group. The MOUs for the MPMA and MPO A groups expired December 31, 2021. As detailed below, management has been engaged in labor negotiations since November 2021 to discuss successor MOUs.
Th
ese negotiations have been focused on salaries – based upon the results of the recently completed, comprehensive Classification and Compensation study. This study has been requested by every employee association over a number of years. The goal of 9 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF JUNE 8, 2022
Adopt Resolution No’s. 22 -38 and 22- 37 adopting Memoranda of Understanding between the City and the Montebello Police Management Association (MPMA) and the City and the Montebello Police Officers Association (MPOA)
the study was to review salary and benefits for all Montebello job classifications , compared to an agreed upon “comparator group” of 13 comparators for sworn Police positions. Results from this study were presented to the City Council in summer 2021, and shared with all employee groups in August 2021, including numerous “town hall” meetings held to explain the study and its conclusions.
The Classification and Compensation study indicated that Montebello salaries (i.e., base pay) were behind the market, with the “market” defined as the agreed upon comparator group of similar cities. The study concluded that 83% of positions were more than 5% behind the market. The study found that, on average, Montebello is 21% behind market on the salary ranges of its positions. Specifically, sworn Police personnel ranged from 1%-7% behind market.
Staff presented these findings to the City Council and the various employee associations during the summer of 2021. The intent of this study was to determine a path for labor negotiations. Typically, labor negotiations have been approached with a simple, across the board, “cost of living adjustment” (COLA) proposal format. However, as evidenced by the study data, this COLA approach has led to the City being behind the market in the wages offered.
Management intended to take a new approach to labor negotiations, with the intent of bringing salary ranges closer to market. This approach required a new way of thinking – moving individual job classifications at different rates (percentages) versus offering an across the board, one-size-fits-all COLA to all positions in an association. The outcome would bring all job classifications to market rates, in addition to the creation of a comprehensive salary schedule.
The benefit of using the Classification and Compensation study data was to bring fairness and equity to labor negotiations. Management presented t his approach to the City Council and received direction to bring all salaries “to market” within three years. With this direction from the City Council, Management began labor negotiation discussions in November 2021. The focus for this round of labor negotiations was on base salaries and establishing – for the first time in the City’s history for all positions – a comprehensive salary schedule with defined ranges and steps.
Management presented this approach to the associations through individual meet ings (per the meet and confer process), explaining that the focus of negotiations would be on base salaries, with the knowledge that the study indicated health benefits were also behind market. However, as the City continues to work towards fiscal stability, limited resources require the focus on salaries first, with the intent of reviewing health benefits during the next round of successor MOU discussions.
Through the numerous negotiation meetings, additional fringe benefits were discussed – besides base salaries – and both sides eventually agreed to adjustments in certain non- CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF JUNE 8, 2022
Adopt Resolution No’s. 22 -38 and 22- 37 adopting Memoranda of Understanding between the City and the Montebello Police Management Association (MPMA) and the City and the Montebello Police Officers Association (MPOA)
base salary fringe benefit items. For example both the MPMA and MPOA will be receiving increases in Education Incentive and Certificate Pay. There is also a change to bilingual pay compensation, which offers up to $150/month for individual s who can successfully demonstrate the ability to read, write and speak a second language.
The table below provides an overview of the updated Education and Certificate Incentive Pay for both MPMA and MPOA:
MPMA MPOA

$300/month;

Certificate Incentive POST Supervisory Certificate =

anagement Certificate =

The Education incentive increased $50/month for an A.A./Intermediate POST and $100/month for a bachelors/Advanced Post for both groups. The Cert ification incentive increased $100 for MPOA and $100 for MPMA.
The largest cost increase of the new MOUs is related to base pay. As noted above, City Council provided direction to bring all classifications to market within three years.
Through negotiations, all classifications covered by both groups will be at market by July 1, 2022 – well before the three year direction provided by the City Council. In fact, besides Police Officer, all positions will be at market to the retroactive date of January 1, 2022. (Given the expiration of the prior MOUs in December, salary adjustments will be retroactive to January 1, 2022, for both MPMA and MPOA).
Therefore, there will be salary costs in the current fiscal year for six months of salary adjustments back to January 1, 2022. Furthermore, salary adjustments will then occur the first pay period of July 2022.The table below summarizes the annual cost for the salary adjustments, by Police bargaining group:
FY 2021-22 FY 2022-23
MPMA $12,621 $37,268
MPOA $36,831 $157,063
TOTAL $49,453 $194,331
It should be noted that the term of the MOUs with each group are one and a half (1.5) years: January 1, 2022 – June 30, 2023.
The FY 2022-23 budget will be built utilizing the updated salary ranges, with the estimated increase to base salaries indicated above accounted for in the Police Department budget.

Adopt Resolution No’s. 22 -38 and 22- 37 adopting Memoranda of Understanding between the City and the Montebello Police Management Association (MPMA) and the City and the Montebello Police Officers Association (MPOA)
Budget presentations will be made for FY 2022- 23 assuming the projected salary cost increases noted above.
In addition to the base salary and fringe benefit improvements, the City and the MPMA and MPOA employee groups tentatively agreed to two (2) additional paid Holidays :
Juneteenth (June 19
th) and Columbus Day/Indigenous People’s Day (2 nd Monday in October). The City will also provide true holiday leave, instead of requiring employees to use their own annual leave for a recognized City holiday. As detailed in each respective MOU document, a holiday leave bank will be provided to each employee. This holiday leave bank increases total leave available to employees, and does not negatively impact their earned vacation accrual.
The Classification and Compensation study also identified that employee leave banks were behind the market. As a remedy, the City proposed to eliminate Annual Leave (AL) and freeze it for members to use during service and or to sell hours during service and at separation. The AL is replaced with vacation and sick leave accruals for all employee groups, in an effort to better align with the market.
Management firmly believes the packages negotiated with the employee groups are fair and equitable. Most importantly, the salary increases will bring the City’s employees up to market pay rates before the end of the MOU term, as directed by the City Council. This is an important accomplishment that helps with recruitment and retention – two important goals in helping Montebello progress and accomplish more.
The City’s improved financial standing has allowed for the proposed MOUs to be negotiated and agreed upon. Management feels strongly that the negotiated packages of increased wages and improved fringe benefits are fiscally sustainable, and necessary for Montebello to remain competitive in the public sector labor market.
BACKGROUND
The City of Montebello has ten (10) separate and distinct employee associations. All employees are represented by one of these ten associations – depending upon job classification and whether the position is safety (i.e, Fire or Police) or non-safety. The most recent set of MOUs expired on December 31, 2021.
Management has been engaged with all employee associations for the past six months in active labor negotiations. In addition, Staff has been meeting with each employee group since the summer of 2021 to discuss the Classification and Compensation study, and its results. The following paragraphs outline the timeline and path taken from the initiation of the Classification and Compensation study through the presentation of successor MOUs.
In April 2020, the City initiated an RFP and identified an approved vendor to perform a Classification and Compensation study. The City selected Public Sector Personnel Consultants (PSPC) to conduct this study. Additionally, in September 2020, the City met CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF JUNE 8, 2022
Adopt Resolution No’s. 22 -38 and 22- 37 adopting Memoranda of Understanding between the City and the Montebello Police Management Association (MPMA) and the City and the Montebello Police Officers Association (MPOA)
with each employee group to discuss the process for conduc ting the Classification and Compensation study.
The City and employee associations met and conferred on the comparable cities to which the data would be surveyed – the “market” against which Montebello’s salary and benefits would eventually be compared. The employee groups had the opportunity to provide input and agreed to the study and all of its components. Moreover, in October 2020, the City met with the various associations to discuss the data that would be ex amined. Over the years, most employee groups have requested a Classification and Compensation study be conducted as part of each round of negotiations.
In August 2021, the Human Resources Department met with employee groups to present the findings of the study. The Administration and Human Resources Departments began to prepare for negotiations for the period of January 1, 2022, to June 30, 2023. The current Memoranda for both associations expired December 31, 2021.
In November and December 2021, respectively, the City met with MPMA Board President David Kim and MPOA Board President Omar Rodriguez. City Manager René Bobadilla, Assistant City Manager Arlene Salazar, Director of Finance Michael Solorza and the Human Resources Department were in attendance. The City met separately with each employee group and provided a proposal for the successor MOU. The associations were given time to review the proposals and identify questions for clarification and or craft their counter-proposal, with subsequent meetings held as necessary to analyze each proposal and counter-proposal.
The City held multiple labor negotiation meetings and continued the meet and confer process with each employee group over the past six months . D uring the negotiation meetings, the City provided clarifications for follow up and revised provisions that the groups then took back to their membership for review and ratification. Findings from the Classification and Compensation study were presented, indicating the relative change in pay for each classification, along with describing and explaining the new comprehensive salary schedule. Again, the approach for this round of MOU updates was to bring salary ranges for all classifications to market within three years.
MPMA and the City have tentatively agreed to the Comprehensive Memoranda being presented for adoption and the attached draft administrative polices that includes relevant provisions (see also the summary table in “Fiscal Impact” section above):
o Salary increases per the Classification and Compensation study o Education/Certification Incentive Pay
o Bilingual Pay
o Creation of Vacation, Sick and Holiday leave accruals

At this time, the MPMA employee group has tentatively agreed that the Comprehensive Memoranda of Understanding being presented for adoption and the attached draft administrative policies accurately identify those items that were tentatively agreed upon and all current active provisions from preceding MOU between the City and the MPMA .
These Comprehensive MOU memorialize salary, benefits and related items already included in the MOU currently in effect for these groups.
MPOA and the City have tentatively agreed to the Comprehensive MOU being presented for adoption and the attached draft administrative polices that include these provisions:
o Salary increases per the Classification and Compensation study o Education/Certification Incentive Pay
o Bilingual Pay
o Creation of Vacation, Sick and Holiday leave accruals
At this time, the MPOA has tentatively agreed that the MOU being presented for adoption and the attached draft administrative policies accurately identify those items that were tentatively agreed upon and all current active provisions from preceding MOU between the City and the M POA. The various Comprehensive MOU memorialize salary, benefits and related items already included in the comprehensive MOU currently in effect for these groups.
The effective dates and term of the proposed updated MOUs are January 1, 2022, through June 30, 2023. The remaining group that the City continues to meet and confer with is the Association of Sheet Metal, Air, Rail and Transportation Workers – Transportation Division (SMART-TD). All other associations had successor MOUs approved at prior April and May City Council meetings.
SUMMARY
Current MOUs for both the MPMA and MPOA expired December 31, 2021. Management has been engaged in active labor negotiations through the meet and confer process since November 2021. The basis for negotiations has been the results of the Classification and Compensation study completed in the summer of 2021.
Prior to the study being completed, in September 2020, the City met and conferred with MPMA and MPOA to initiate the Classification and Compensation study. The City successfully engaged in Labor Negotiations, from November 2021 through May 2022, to reach tentative agreements with the MPMA and MPOA for new contract s with terms of January 1, 2022, to June 30, 2023.
The single largest cost item of the new, proposed MOUs is the increase to base salaries.
The City Council previously provided direction to Management to bring all salaries to market rate within three years. The proposed, updated MOU s accomplish this City CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF JUNE 8, 2022
Adopt Resolution No’s. 22 -38 and 22- 37 adopting Memoranda of Understanding between the City and the Montebello Police Management Association (MPMA) and the City and the Montebello Police Officers Association (MPOA)
Council direction , bringing employees in both MPMA an d MPOA to market by July 1, 2022. The salary range updates were made utilizing data from thirteen ( 13) public agencies to establish the “market” against which Montebello salary ranges were compared.
In addition to updating salary ranges, other fringe benefit items (monetary and non- monetary) were improved and updated as part of the labor negotiation process:
o Bilingual Pay
o Creation of Vacation, Sick and Holiday leave accruals o Education/Certification Incentive Pay
Implementation of these Memoranda will begin to align the City of Montebello with current market rates to allow the City to better retain and attract employees . The City worked diligently to update the MOU provisions to align with the new points of agreement and made a concerted effort to remove any language in the MOUs that was unclear or antiquated. Implementation of the structured salary schedule will also allow for transparency and ease of administration of employee salary increases , and will be the first time in Montebello’s history that a comprehensive salary schedule exists for all classifications.
It is being requested that the City Council approve a Resolution to adopt successor MOUs between the City and the MPMA and MPOA employee groups to cover the period from January 1, 2022, to June 30, 2023.

10 | P a g e
The City agrees to continue to provide the Retiree Health Benefit, with qualifying prerequisites, terms and provisions as previously agreed to in the Memorandum of Understanding between the City and MPOA for the 2003-2004 negotiations to all full- time MPOA members hired prior to June 26, 2019. The terms and eligibility requirements remain as follows:
1) The Retiree Health Benefit will be paid to eligible members throughout the employee's lifetime. Currently, continuation of benefits after a unit member's eligibility for Medicare is paid for the employee only (not to survivors) through a Trust Account to which the City currently contributes one percent ( 1%) of the unit member's salary. Should the Trust assets, at any fiscal year end, be less than three times the current annualized benefits due, the City and MPOA shall meet and confer.
2) The Retiree Health Benefit will not apply to the employee's survivors.
3) To be eligible, the unit member:
a) Must currently be employed as an active full- time safety unit member of the MPOA;
b) Must be at least 50 years of age (no minimum age requirement for disability retirement);
c) Must retire directly from the City of Montebello;
d) Must have at least fifteen (15) full- time years of active City service at the time of service retirement (the 15 years does not have to be the result of contiguous employment however, the employee's last five years of employment immediately prior to retirement must be as an active, full- time employee of the City), or at least ten (10) full years of active City service at the time of disability retirement. To be eligible for lifetime retiree medical benefits, all fifteen (15) years of service (ten (10) years for disability retirement) must be within the City of Montebello. Prior lateral service does not count toward retiree health benefits.
4) The monthly retiree benefit will be determined by the number of full years of City service multiplied by twenty-five dollars ( $25.00). The maximum benefit allowable will be calculated at twenty-five ( 25) years of active City service. The retiree benefit for qualified disability retirement will be c alculated in the same manner as for s ervice retirements.
Examples of calculations are as follows: fifteen (15) years of City service multiplied by $
25.00 = $375 per month; twenty five (25) years of City service multiplied by $25.00 = $625 per month, which is the maximum benefit allowable.
5) The monthly amount payable will be reduced by any amount paid by the City on the retiree' s behalf toward medical insurance or any amount required to be paid by the City for any local, state, or deferral government retirement or medical plan or law.
6) The retiree will begin receiving the monthly retiree benefit beginning the month following one full month of retirement. The retiree benefit will be paid throughout the retired employee's lifetime or until the employee qualified for Medicare under the federal Social Security Act.
THE CITY OF MONTEBELLO POLICE OFFICERS’ ASSOCIATION
11 | P a g e
7) The City will issue a warrant to the retired employee on a monthly basis for the amount of retiree benefit paid to the employee. These amounts will be considered taxable to the retiree. Retired employees may enroll in any health plan of their choice or may choose not to enroll in a health plan at their discretion.
B. Full- time unit members hired on or after June 26, 2019:
All full-time unit members hired on or after June 26, 2019 shall only, commencing the month following one full month of retirement and continuing through the period prescribed by law, receive the minimum employer health premium contribution as prescribed by Government Code section22892 of the Public Employees' Medical and Hospital Care Act (PEMHCA). The retiree must be and remain enrolled in an eligible health benefit plan in order for the City to be obligated to pay the prescribed premium.
SECTION B TRUST ACCOUNT
The City has established a trust account to be used toward the cost of healthcare coverage for eligible retired members after qualification for Medicare. The City shall contribute one percent (1%) of regular salaries, not including overtime, to be deposited per payroll cycle. Benefits will continue after Medicare eligibility at the same level as pre Medicare eligibility. The benefit will be paid throughout the employee’s lifetime and will not apply to the employee’s survivors. The one percent (1 %) salary c ontribution will be counted toward total compensation for purposes of salary survey comparisons.
If trust assets, at any fiscal year end, are less than three (3) times the current annualized benefits due, the City will meet and confer with the Police Association.

The following directive will be effective August 21, 2016.
Any previous memo, directive, or
order issued by any member of this department (past or present) on the topic of “beat
minimums, staffing levels, or otherwise pertaining to the amount of patrol personnel on-duty ”
is hereby countermanded.
This memo supersedes any previous memo, directive or order that addressed or addresses “beat minimums, staffing levels, or otherwise pe
rtaining to the amount of patrol personnel on-
duty”
and will remain in force until such time the chief of police determines otherwise.
Purpose:
The purpose of this directive is to establish a guideline in determining desired and mandatory staffing allocation in patrol to meet the needs of the community and the department.
Ultimately the long-term goal is to implement policy to address our staffing needs not only in patrol
but throughout the department (see strategic goals below).
Background:
Traditionally our department has not used the extensive data available to determine appropriate staffing levels or deployment needs.
As we move forward it is the goal of the Department to formalize staffing levels based on workloa
d-based models including peak workload data that has been studied and proven to be the best approach to make staffing decisions.
We are in the process of analyzing our
department’s
data in order to effectively deploy
personnel. This is the first step in formalizing our staffing needs by issuing this directive for short term staffing needs.
The below test model with the addition of SPU and other adjustments to special unit assignments will help us better determine our patrol staffing needs in the future.
Additionally the manner in which calls for service (CFS) are assigned and when they are assigned needs to be examined. For this purpose this directive will address the watch commander’s responsibility when determining when discretionary self -initiated activity should
be limited to emergency observations only with the emphasis of patrol personnel remaining available for emergency calls for service.
EX
HIBIT
B
Strategic Goals:
The goal of implementing the peak workload staffing approach and specialized unit staffing is to provide the most effective possible response to law enforcement emergencies, neighborhood problems and traffic enforcement. This approach to calls for service facilitates problem solving, provides a concentration of personnel in neighborhoods experiencing higher crime levels, and allows significant flexibility in deploying available resources to address emerging crime trends.
The five strategic goals listed are the framework for this plan and future direction of the department.
Reduce Residential and Commercial Burglaries
Reduce Grand Theft Auto
Reduce Violent Crime
Decrease Traffic Collisions
Decrease Calls for Service related to the Mentally Ill and Homeless
Short term staffing directive:
As we continue to study and analyze information it is the direction of the Chief of Police to establish two methods of determining the staffing levels in patrol for the short term. These staffing levels are determined by information available to us now and will more likely change as we move forward.
Both methods have been determined by a number of factors including but not limited to; days and times of the week/month/year that through preliminary research and analysis show an increase or decrease in field activity; anticipated increase in field activity due to special events; certain holidays, or other activity that one can reasonably anticipate an increase in field activity may occur; [and] the amount of sworn able bodied personnel on-duty and in the City at any given time.
The two levels are desired “soft” staffing levels and mandatory “hard” staffing levels.
Desired
“soft”
staffing levels:
Desired
“soft” staffing levels are the optimal amount of personnel deemed appropriate but not necessaril
y
deemed mandatory to meet the needs of the community and the department.
As on
e will notice at any given time there is the potential to have anywhere from a
minimum of
eight patrol personnel, including field supervisor and watch commander, to fourteen field EX
HIBIT
B
EX
HIBIT
B
personnel including the above and special assignments not including detectives, narcotics and
other sworn personnel on-duty at any given time.
The desire
d “soft” staffing levels are described as follows:
Team One
- six (6) patrol personnel not including field supervisors, watch commanders,
and special assignments (SPU, Mental Illness Officer, Traffic);
Team Two - six (6) patrol personnel not including field supervisors, watch commanders,
and special assignments (SPU, Mental Illness Officer, Traffic);
Team Three - six (6) patrol personnel not including field supervisors, watch
commanders, and special assignments (SPU, Mental Illness Officer, Traffic);
Team Four - seven (7) patrol personnel on Thursdays and eight (8) on Fridays and
Saturdays not including field supervisors, watch commanders, and special assignments
(SPU, Mental Illness Officer, Traffic).
The watch commander shall have the discretion, based on the needs of the community and the
department, to increase staffing levels on a case by case basis. This could include ordering in
additional personnel if necessary.
The watch commander should determine if the
augmentation of on-duty special assignment personnel is sufficient personnel for emergency
use.
Using special units to supplant patrol to meet soft staffing levels is not permitted unless
approved by the duty chief.
Mandatory “
Hard
”
staffing levels:
Mandatory “h
ard
”
staffing levels are the amount of patrol personnel deemed appropriate and
necessary to meet the needs of the community and the department.
The Mandatory “
hard
”
staffing levels for patrol personnel are described as follows:
Team One
Monday - Wednesday four (4) patrol personnel not including field supervisors, watch
commanders, and special assignments (SPU, Mental Illness Officer, Traffic)
If no special assignment personnel are on-duty this number increases to five (5)
Sunday five (5) patrol personnel, not including field supervisors, watch commanders,
and special assignments (SPU, Mental Illness Officer, Traffic)
EX
HIBIT
B
Team Two
Monday - Wednesday four (4) patrol personnel not including field supervisors, watch
commanders, and special assignments (SPU, Mental Illness Officer, Traffic)
If no special assignment personnel are on-duty this number increases to five (5)
Sunday five (5) patrol personnel, not including field supervisors, watch commanders,
and special assignments (SPU, Mental Illness Officer, Traffic) Team Three
Wednesday - Friday four (4) patrol personnel not including field supervisors, watch
commanders, and special assignments (SPU, Mental Illness Officer, Traffic)
If no special assignment personnel are on-duty this number increases to five (5)
Saturday five (5) patrol personnel, not including field supervisors, watch commanders,
and special assignments (SPU, Mental Illness Officer, Traffic) Team Four
Thursday five
(5) patrol personnel not including field supervisors, watch commanders,
and special assignments (SPU, Mental Illness Officer, Traffic)
If no special assignment personnel are on-duty this number increases to six (6) until 0200 hours
Friday - Saturday six (6) patrol personnel not including field supervisors, watch
commanders, and special assignments (SPU, Mental Illness Officer, Traffic)
If no special assignment personnel are on-duty this number increases to seven (7)
until 0400 hours
When four patrol personnel are deployed on these teams the call signs and geographical
coverage will change from beat assignments (A through F) to district assignments (1 through 4) based on our district Policing Model.
To distinguish from beat assignment to district assignments the call signs for each district will
be designated by team (Team 1,2,3, or 4) the letter Z-Zebra and the applicable district (1,2,3,or
4). For example; team 1 district 1 call sign will be 1Z1, team 1 district 2 call sign will be 1Z2 and
so on.
The watch commander shall have the discretion, based on the needs of the community and the
department, to increase staffing levels on a case by case basis. This could include ordering in
additional personnel if necessary. The watch commander should determine if the
EX
HIBIT
B
augmentation of on-duty special assignment personnel is sufficient personnel for emergency
use.
In the event the “hard” minimums indicated above are not met due to unanticipated vacancies
the watch commander shall order other available patrol personnel to work to meet the hard
minimums.
Special unit personnel shall not be used to supplant patrol personnel to meet hard minimums
unless approved by the duty chief.
Maximum staffing and tactical deployments:
The following holidays and events are considered maximum staffing days with no time off
guaranteed for on-duty personnel and all off duty patrol personnel are subject to working
mandatory overtime based on departmental staffing needs (this list does not exclude other days being identified as maximum staffing days based on departmental needs):
New Year’s Eve
Armenian Commemoration Events typically April 22, 23, and 24 th
.
July 4
th
City 5K and Parade typically in the month of October.
Hearts of Compassion Food Distribution (one Saturday in November and one Saturday in
December)
Christmas at the Cannon, December 24
th
Each maximum staffing day will be identified on the bid list for the shift affected. When bidding
for a team staff should consider the above and plan appropriately.
Requesting time off:
It is the goal of this department to afford time off to those requesting with notice.
Notice will be defined as follows: Time off request should be submitted no later than 72 hours
prior to the requested day(s) off.
Request within less than 72 hour notice will be determined on a case by case basis by the on-duty watch commander.
Overtime to cover requests within less than 72 hour notice will not be permitted unless
approved by the duty-chief.
Extended time off, three or more consecutive days, should be submitted at least one month in
advance. In most instances vacation time will be granted excluding those requests falling on, near,
or during maximum staffing events described above.
EX
HIBIT
B
Calls for Service:
The watch commander has the discretion to determine when any call for service should be held
until sufficient patrol personnel are available. Likewise the watch commander may determine
that self-initiated discretionary activity be reserved for emergency action only when staffing
levels do not permit for such discretionary activity.
Response time to the highest priority call must still remain as rapid as possible, which include
those that pose danger to the lives of citizens and/or police officers and present the opportunity to arrest an alleged offender.
Response times are not exclusively staffing driven. Balancing patrol district to minimize travel
distances, and hence response times, allows for maximizing rapid response while controlling
staffing.
Call prioritization is crucial in achieving response time goals. The proper priority classification
and assignment of calls can eliminate unnecessary high speed responses. The goal is to provide
the quickest and safest response time to all calls for service, providing the service excellence for
the safety of our community.
When the watch commander determines there are not sufficient units available for self- initiated discretionary activity he or she should notify communications to inform patrol staff of
such. Communications should notify patrol personnel to remain 10-8 until further notice.
When patrol personnel are informed to remain 10-8 no unit should commit themselves to any
activity unless it is an emergency. This includes going out of service for breaks.
Special Problems Unit:
The Special Problems Unit
’s
(SPU) focus is on crime prevention and control. Their duties range
from assisting the community with on-going concerns, proactive enforcement, assisting
detectives and special projects. Officers utilize a variety of enforcement strategies including
marked and unmarked vehicles, bicycles, foot patrols, plainclothes and uniform assignments.
Four officers are assigned to the SPU. Their days and hours are determined by the Detective
Lieutenant. The SPU is not included in “hard” staffing levels.
Mental Evaluation Unit
The Mental Evaluation Team (MET) consists of
a
sworn officer who is partnered with
a
clinician
from the Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health (DMH). The MET provides
additional resources to patrol by responding to and handling calls involving the mentally ill and
homeless. The partnership with Department of Mental Health affords the Police Department
EX
HIBIT
B
the ability to offer increased service to those individuals who need access to mental health
services in an efficient manner. The MET should be on-duty
0800-1800 hours Monday
–
Thursday.
The MET is not included in “hard” staffing levels.
The call sign for the MET will be
MET One.
Apprehension canine teams:
The apprehension canine teams consists of two K9 teams.
The K9 teams provide patrol officers
with assistance ranging from tracking of and search for suspects, article searches, and assist
with high-risk situations such as high-risk traffic stops.
K9
teams should function primarily as
cover units and when available be assigned as the backup unit for most calls for service
requiring two units. They may be assigned by the Watch Commander to other functions based
on the needs of the watch at the time.
K9 teams should not be assigned to handle matters that will take them out of service for
extended periods of time unless absolutely necessary and only with the approval of the Watch
Commander.
K9 teams can be assigned report calls that do not require an extended time out of
service.
An apprehension K9 team should be on-duty 1600-0400 hours Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday
. Canine Officers are included in “hard” staffing levels
when on-
duty and not in training.
Narcotic detection canine:
The narcotic detection canine (K9) team consists of one team. This team is trained to search for
and detect the presence of narcotics. This team will bid for a shift pursuant to policy and be
counted as part of the hard staffing levels in patrol.
Traffic Enforcement Response Officer:
The Traffic Enforcement Response (TER) Officer targets speeding and other traffic enforcement
issues in the city. The TER Officer works primarily day shift and focuses
his or her efforts on
traffic accident reduction at intersections with the highest traffic accident rates and by rotating
enforcement in school zones in the morning and afternoon high activity times.
The TER Officer also handles traffic complaints from citizens regarding on-going traffic concerns
in neighborhoods. The TER Officer is not assigned to investigate traffic collisions unless
otherwise assigned.
The TER officer will be designated as such by the scheduling watch
commander when staffing levels permit. His or her call sign will be T-2 (Tom 2).
EX
HIBIT
B
Traffic Bureau:
Traffic Bureau Officers are responsible for investigating traffic collisions, hit and run
investigations and all fatal vehicle accidents. They also conduct DUI and special enforcement
details. Traffic Bureau Officers are not included in “hard” staffing levels.
Note:
All special unit supervisors, with the exception of K9, shall submit a weekly schedule to all supervisors and command staff prior to the start of the work week.
Summary and conclusion:
It has become necessary to examine our approach to patrol functions in order to best determine when patrol personnel are deployed and how many patrol personnel are deployed at any given time. The concept of “beat minimums” is outdated and no t the best approach to
provide superior service to the community we serve.
The concept of peak work load staffing is well studied and proven to work throughout the
country. As we continue to analyze data we will modify this plan to meet our needs as a
department and for the community, using the peak work load staffing approach.
The peak work load staffing approach may include adjusting start and end times for patrol
personnel. Everyone starting at the same time and ending their watch at the same time is an
outdated model, not to mention there is no overlap. In order to accomplish briefing and
briefing training we will explore the option of one day a week standard start times for patrol
teams. With the briefing book being readily available via MDC briefing items of concern should
not be an issue.
District policing is another concept that has been well studied and proven to work. The data will be analyzed to determine the appropriate district boundaries based on several factors such
as response time, number of calls for service and call type.
It is no secret that crime is increasing throughout the country, Montebello is no different.
Increases in crime can be attributed to a number of factors which most recently can be
attributed to new legislation. In November it is expected that recreational marijuana use in
California will be legal.
Other states with legal recreational marijuana use have experienced an
increase in calls for service and crime in general particularly DUI, petty theft and traffic
collisions.
As laws change, so must the approach to enforcing those laws, which is the intent here. It is the
desire of this administration that our staff will embrace and contribute to the changes set forth
here and in the future.

ITEM #____
CITY OF MONTEBELLO
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: René Bobadilla, P.E., City Manager
BY: Michael Solorza, Director of Finance
SUBJECT: Adoption of Fiscal Year 2022-23 Operating and Capital Budget DATE: June 8, 2022
RECOMMENDATIONS:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1) Adopt Resolution No. 22-43 adopting the Fiscal Year 2022-23 operating and capital budgets for all funds; and,
2) Adopt Resolution No. 22-44 adopting the compensation plan, table of organization and job classifications for Fiscal Year 2022-23 and,
3) Adopt Resolution No. 22-45 establishing a Fiscal Year 2022-23 appropriations limit per Government Code Section 7190 (Gann Limit); and,
4) Adopt Resolution No. 22- 46 for paying and reporting the value of employer paid member contributions as required by a recent CalPERS audit.
FISCAL IMPACT
The City of Montebello celebrates its second century of incorporation with adoption of the Fiscal Year 2022-23 Operating and Capital budget. As the City begins its second century of existence, it is faced with a unique combination of opportunities and challenges.
Montebello is on the right path – financially, organizationally and culturally. The past fiscal year witnessed the continuation of progress towards financial sustainability.
This budget builds upon the progress made in the last two years’ award-winning budgets, and continues moving the organization forward and funds the services and programs key to the City Council’s priorities. The City once again received the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) “Distinguished Budget Presentation Award” for the adopted 10 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF JUNE 8, 2022 Adoption of Fiscal Year 2022-23 Operating and Capital Budget
Fiscal Year 2021 -22 budget document – the second consecutive year and only the second time in the City’s 100 plus year history. Receiving this award demonstrates the City’s commitment to producing an accessible budget document that effectively communicates the City’s financial priorities in a transparent manner. Staff will submit the FY 2022-23 budget for this award and fully expects to receive it for a third consecutive year.
Staff has created a five year budget development improvement process that establishes a set of building blocks, based on the ability to improve that year’s budget based on progress made the prior year. Each year the process becomes more sophisticated, with the end goal being a self-sustaining budget built around strategic goals.
The image below encapsulates this process, showing the basic building blocks for each year and the emphasis placed on a grouping of tasks designed to continuously improve the budget – and by extension the entire organization:
The current FY 2022 -23 budget focuses on research, improvement (continued) and strategy. Utilizing focused and more in-depth research of revenue and expenditure trends allows for a much more accurate budget. Research into specific expenses and whether they are one time or continuing, and whether they are being recorded to the correct account, leads to improved budget requests. The same goes for revenue, and having a deeper ability to more accurately forecast revenue across all funds.
The FY 2022 -23 bu dget document is more comprehensive, and the continued improvements will help the organization operate more efficiently. In addition, subsequent strategic planning goals will be more fully incorporated into the budget development process. This in turn will improve organizational effectiveness.
Ultimately, the five year process is designed to produce greater financial stability and promote fiscal responsibility. Fiscal sustainability can only be achieved when all parts of the organization are moving in the same direction and focused on achieving the same outcomes. Through a structured and strategic budget process, improvements can be made that will help fund essential operations while making these improvements part of the organizational culture.

Property Tax is also proving strong, with a 4 .0% increase in Assessed Value, providing an additional $ 581,900 of revenue in the proposed budget. Licenses and Permits forecast an increase, based on projected cannabis operations related rec eipts, as well as improved revenue collection efforts surrounding the City’s business license program.
The City of Montebello is a full -service city, providing Police, Fire, Public Works, Parks and Recreation, Transit and various building, planning and internal support functions (i.e., Finance, Human Resources, Information Technology, etc.).

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF JUNE 8, 2022
Adoption of Fiscal Year 2022-23 Operating and Capital Budget
Many of the supplemental items are one -time, or semi -recurring in nature, such as vehicles, SCBA equipment, stage expansion pieces, management assessment studies, SART equipment, and other related equipment/vehicle items. There are also items related to City Council strategic goals: addition funding for expanding the City’s economic development program.
Of the $1,844,300 in supplemental items included across all funds, $1,375,700 are one - time in nature. In other words, they are capital type equipment and/or vehicles with relatively long useful lives. While these items will need to be replace d eventually, the costs associated with acquisition do not need to be budgeted annually. The recurring items (i.e., uniforms, software licenses, etc.) total $200,100 and will become permanently budgeted items. There is an additional $268,500 in semi -recurring items (i.e., iPads, soccer goals, etc.) that have shorter “shelf-lives” than vehicles or other capital items, and funds will need to be provided for in subsequent budgets (but not annually).
As can be seen by the descriptions above, many of the supplemental items are necessary due to the former practice of delaying equipment and infrastructure repairs and upgrades.
The FY 2022 -23 budget represents the third year of playing “catch up” with the myriad deferred purchases. The majority of these supplemental equipment/vehicle items have been for the Fire Department. However, every operating department continues to identify unmet needs and such items will continue to be included in subsequent budgets.
The proposed FY 2022-23 budget includes 43.0 additional full-time equivalent positions, the majority of these (30.0) added to the Transit Department. The table below shows the annual changes, by department, for the past four years:

best. There were increases to Transit operations that allowed for improved administration and management of operations, vehicle maintenance and financial management, as well as the proposed addition of 30.0 full-time Bus Operators for FY 2022-23.
The changes encompass the organizational task of moving three operations from Community Development and Parks and Recreation into the Public Works Department:
Building Safety, Facilities Maintenance and Parks Maintenance. Reductions in those departments is primarily responsible for the net increase of 21.0 FTE in Public Works.

It should be noted that – with approved MOUs for eight of the City’s ten represented employee groups – a comprehensive, standard salary matrix now exists. The “Compensation Plan Resolution” updates prior resolutions by implementing the new standardized salary range matrix. That matrix has been included for reference, as Exhibit B1 to Att achment B.
There is one newly created job classification (“ Maintenance Manager”) included in this budget which did not previously exist in the approved “Compensation Plan Resolution.” This position will assist with Transit vehicle maintenance operations. (See Exhibit B2 to Attachment B.)
Other Funds
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF JUNE 8, 2022
Adoption of Fiscal Year 2022-23 Operating and Capital Budget
The majority of revenue and expenditures comprising the City’s total budget are recorded in Special Funds, Enterprise Funds, Grant Funds, Trust and Agency Funds and Successor Agency Funds. Under governmental accounting rules, these funds are more restricted, and the use of revenue is dictated by certain guidelines based on the source of funding.
For example, the Los Angeles Country Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) provides Local Return Funds (L RF) to cities in Los Angeles County for various transit, road and street uses. These funds are recorded in their own separate funds: Measure M, Measure, R, Proposition A, and Proposition C. Montebello utilizes these revenues for transit projects, street rehabilitation, and related road projects.
The City also uses Enterprise Funds to account for Transit, Golf, Water and Hotel (Hilton Garden Inn and Home2Suites) operations. The table below presents a high -level overview of all funds revenue and expend itures, proposed for FY 2022-23, grouped by “fund type:”

Transit
The largest enterprise fund -- as measured by total expenditure and revenue appropriations – is Transit, Fund 600 (Montebello Bus Lines). This fund accounts for the various sources (Proposition A, Federal Transit Administration, etc.) and uses of funds (salaries, maintenance, equipment purchases, etc.) that are utilized to fund daily operations. The FY 2022-23 proposed Transit budget – excluding grants (Fund 270) and Senate Bill 1 (SB 1) State of Good Repair funding (Fund 202) – includes $35.505 million in expenditures balanced against $51.284 in revenue.
The additional revenue for this year comes from two Federal sources, aimed at ameliorating the impacts of the coronavirus pandemic: the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) and the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations (CRRSA) Act. These two one -time sources of revenue account for $16.0 million of the $51.284 million forecasted for FY 2022 -23 ($9.0 million in ARPA and $7.0 million in CRRSA). This funding will help with daily operations, making up for lost fair revenue due to pandemic related bus line shut downs and lower ridership caused by various coronavirus related restrictions and impacts.
Hotels
The City owns two hotels and contracts with a third -party management company to operate them. The Hilton Garden Inn (HGI) underwent a complete remodel of the hotel, the first since it opened over sixteen years ago, and reopened to the public in September 2020 after being closed for more than six months.
Even with the continued, negative impact from the coronavirus pandemic on occupancy, the Hilton Garden Inn is forecasted to have a surplus in FY 2022-23. The refinancing of CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF JUNE 8, 2022
Adoption of Fiscal Year 2022-23 Operating and Capital Budget
HGI debt (December 2019) was a positive financial move, providing significant debt service savings for three years by restructuring the debt to be interest only during that time period. This refinancing made economic sense – taking advantage of historical ly low interest rates – and was fortuitous in timing. The reduced debt service coinciding with reduced income from lower occupancy.
The Home2Suites hotel’s occupancy also suffered in 2020 due to the pandemic.
However, in recent months occupancy has been climbing and management is confident it will reach pre -pandemic levels as business travel returns. The debt service on the Home2Suites (H2S) is greater than Hilton Garden Inn, given the larger outstanding balance (Series 2016A) of bond funds. However, as can be seen in the table above, H2S is forecasted to have a comfortable operating surplus for FY 2022-23.
Both hotels are well positioned to take advantage of the continuing post-coronavirus rebound in leisure and business travel. Their revenue accoun ts are healthy, and projected operating revenue – tempered given economic conditions at large – will be sufficient to support operations and debt service payments.
Golf
The City brought on board new operators of the Golf course (February, 2020), as well as a professional landscape company (October, 2020) . These changes have helped improve operations over the past two years. The new management company has brought professionalism to the course operations for the first time in decades. The ability to properly manage a municipal golf course was immediately seen, with revenue increasing and costs contained. Revenue from golf operations continues to perform well. However, there is still a projected deficit for FY 2022-23, albeit less than in prior years.
The City Council approved development agreement with Top Golf has allowed work to continue on pursuing this project on a portion of the golf course. Bringing a Top Golf operation to Montebello will allow for the revitalization of the Golf Course, and wil l turn a deficit operation into one that is profitable and no longer must be subsidized by the General Fund. There are simultaneous discussions on renovating the remaining portion of the golf course, with architectural designs for a revamped 9-hole executive course and a 6-hole “pitch and putt” course. The end goal is to renovate the entire 118 acre Golf Course property and revitalize it into a destination venue for residents and visitors of all ages, which will no longer be a drain on the General Fund.
Capital Improvement Program
The proposed CIP budget for FY 2022-23 is $18,681,382 and utilizes funding from Gas Tax, Local Return Funds (i.e., Proposition C, Measure R, etc.), Measure W (Los Angeles County stormwater fee), and Federal grants (i.e., HSIPL) for a host of various projects.
The projects and funding sources are summarized in Attachment D. The summary lists projects delineated by their stage: engineering studies, design and construction, maintenance and other projects. The annual debt service amounts related to the “Paving CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF JUNE 8, 2022
Adoption of Fiscal Year 2022-23 Operating and Capital Budget
the Way” bonds are included in Proposition C, Measure M and Measure R. The table below provides a high-level overview of CIP appropriations by fund:
Funding Source (Description / Fund Number)
FY 2022-23
Budget
Gas Tax (Fund 200) 2,740,000
Proposition A (Fund 210) 5,727,527
Proposition C (Fund 215) 1,672,255
Measure M (Fund 222) 1,748,500
Measure R (Fund 220) 1,866,553
Measure W (Fund 229) 920,000
Road Maintenance and Rehabiliation Account (RMRA/SB1) (Fund 201) 3,150,000 TDA-3 (Fund 223) 96,547
HSIP (Grant) 760,000
18,681,382
Some of the projects that are part of the FY 2022-23 CIP budget are continued from prior years, as typically design, engineering and construction spans more than one fiscal year depending on the project. There are additional funds available in the various speci al funds that are not part of the $18.681 million committed to the various projects. In other words, available fund balance exists that has not been committed to a particular project.
The Director of Public Works will work with staff and the City Council to determine potential priority projects to which these unprogrammed funds can be obligated.
Subsequent City Council action would appropriate the unprogrammed funds depending on decisions made about new or expanded CIP projects.
The budget amounts inclu ded in the FY 2022-23 CIP represent either new funding necessary to begin a project or prior year appropriations necessary to continue a previously approved project. Additional funding will be appropriated once FY 2021-22 is completed and encumbrances are carried over as part of the regular “year -end close” process. The carryover of open/active purchase orders will amend the FY 2022-23 budget for the various CIP projects with active work.
In addition, for the first time ever, Staff will present a forma l carryover/re-appropriation agenda item to the City Council in October. This formal re -appropriation is a standard practice in other municipal agencies, and improves transparency while providing more accurate budgets for continuing CIP projects. This action is yet another improvement to the budget process and helps Montebello move towards fiscal stability and sustainability.
BACKGROUND
The development of the Fiscal Year 2022-23 operating and capital budget has culminated in this presentation of a $ 184.265 million all funds spending plan. Furthermore, the General Fund budget will present a surplus of $ 695,700. Significant efforts by staff to CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF JUNE 8, 2022
Adoption of Fiscal Year 2022-23 Operating and Capital Budget
right-size the budget have paid off, with significant improvements made throughout the organization which will help Montebello achieve fiscal sustainability.
There has been one formal Budget and Strategic Plan Study Session (April, 2022) and three budget overview presentations to the City Council. In addition, a detailed follow up memoranda was prepared for th e City Council after the June 1, 2022 City Council meeting, providing additional information to respond to questions asked at that meeting .
In addition, a hard-copy version of the proposed budget was provided to the City Council and Executive Management to review, as well as that version being posted to the City’s website (May 24, 2022).
The Fiscal Year 2022-23 budget was prepared under more promising conditions versus prior year budgets, as the economic and social impacts of the global pandemic begin to wane, two years after it began. Revenue projections are more positive than prior years, especially sales tax. The receipt of American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Coronavirus State and Local Fuscal Recovery Funds (CSLFRF) -- $16.59 million between FY 2020-21 and FY 2021-22 – will provide much needed resources to backfill lost revenue, improve vital technology services, and complete long-overdue repairs to the City’s aging sewer system.
The entire $ 184 million all funds spending plan provides appropriatio ns across the full range of services that Montebello provides: fire, police, transit, public works, community services, planning, building, code enforcement, information technology, financial planning, homeless outreach, street improvements, recruitment, and so forth. There will be $203 million in revenue from various sources to fund the myriad expenditures across all operations.
This budget provides expansion of certain services and programs, while continuing the process of modified zero-based budgeting that is aimed at eventually placing Montebello on sound financial footing. It represents the third year of a five year effort designed to achieve fiscal sustainability and create a culture of fiscal responsibility throughout the organization. Right -sizing the budget by re -evaluating the prior methods by which budgets were built was begun with the 2020-21 budget, which lead to the City receiving GFOA’s budget award for the first time in its 100 year history; and improved upon in 2021- 22, resulting in the second consecutive GFOA budget award.
Future budgets will continue these improvement and refinement efforts, providing for funding where appropriate while ensuring the City lives within it s means and manages public funds responsibly and transparently all while meeting the needs of residents and responding to City Council strategic goals.
The myriad accomplishments of the past year, and the projects and programs planned and funded in the FY 2022-23 budget will help Montebello successfully transition into its second century of incorporation. The efforts and positive strides forward will ensure the next 100 years see more successes and keep Montebello progressing.
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF JUNE 8, 2022
Adoption of Fiscal Year 2022-23 Operating and Capital Budget
SUMMARY
The budget presented provides essential services to Montebello residents and visit ors and advances the City Council’s vision. Much progress has been made financially and operationally in Montebello over the past thirty-six months. The Fiscal Year 2022-23 budget continues that forward progress while moving the City closer to long-term financial stability. The clearest evidence of this progress is the presentation of a balanced General Fund budget, with a $695,700 surplus for FY 2022-23.
City Council is being asked to approve the budget, approve the compensation resolution and a new job classification, and approve a resolution setting an appropriations limit as required by State Government Code. In addition, per a recommendation from CalPERS as part of a routine payroll audit, a retroactive resolution relating to the paying and reporting of the employer paid membership contribution (EPMC) must also be approved.
This EPMC related resolution has no impact on current or former employees or reitrees, and is only being presented due to an audit recommendation by CalPERS. This resolution is a “clean-up” item which CalPERS insists is necessary, even though it has no impact whatsoever on payr, working conditions, retirement benefit contributions, etc. for any current or former employees or retirees.
The “Budget Message” is attached as well (Attachment F), which provides a greater discussion of the overall budget, providing in-depth details on various aspects of the City’s operation.

Reserve Policies
Adopted June 8, 2022
CITY OF MONTEBELLO
General Fund Reserve Policies
Fund balance r efers to the difference between assets and liabilities in the City’s governmental funds balance sheet. This information is one of the most widely used elements of State and local government financial statements. Financial statement users examine fund balance information to identify the available liquid resources that ca n be used to pay down unfunded liabilities, finance capital improvements, or enhance the overall financial position of the City.
PURPOSE
The purpose of these policies is to provide guidance on maintaining reasonable levels of reserves in the City’s General Fund. In addition, these policies help improve financial reporting by establishing fund balance classifications that create a hierarchy based on the extent to which the City is bound to observe spending constraints that govern how the City can use amounts reported in the gov ernmental fund balance sheet. These policies will also help guide current and future allocation levels to various reserve categories in the General Fund, setting out specific target amounts based on widely used and accepted best practices. As referencing governmental funds, this policy satisfies t h e r e q u i r e m e n t s of Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 54 and incorporates all previous City Council policies regarding GASB Statement No. 54.
POLICY
It is the policy of the City of Montebello to identify the various classifications of the City’s governmental fund balances in its Comprehensive Annual Fina ncial Report (CAFR). These classificatio ns take into consideration the City’s long-term infrastructure needs, non-current liabilities, funds necessary to mitigate economic uncertainties, funding th at has s pending constraints such as grants and fixed assets that will not easily convert to cash. These policies will also increase transparency by clearly designating appropriate reserve levels and categories based on City Council direction and long-term financial planning needs.
The fund balance is a tool the City uses to have an effective long-term financial plan, as well as ensure sufficient liquidity to meet its financial obligations in the short-term.
OBJECTIVES
The City of Montebello’s Reserve Policies have two primary objectives:
1. To determine the available liquid resources; and,
2. To provide the information necessary to make informed financial decisions The fund balance classifications of the City’s General Fund are designed to clarify the extent to which the City is bound to honor constraints on the specific p urposes for which amounts in the fund can be spent, rather than to simply represent the financial resources available for appropriation.
EXHIBIT A4

Reserve Policies
Adopted June 8, 2022
OVERVIEW
There are three categories of funds per generally accepted accounting principles:
Governmental Funds: the General Fund, Special Revenue Funds (e.g., State Highway Users Tax), and Capital Projects Funds
Proprietary Funds: Transit Operations Enterprise Fund
Fiduciary Funds: Successor Agency (i.e., former Redevelopment Agency)
The GASB 54 classifications only apply to Governmental Funds. For the City of Montebello, these policies will apply only to the General Fund.
The fund balance is only an approximate measure of liquidity or working capital. Therefore, it is necessary for the City to recognize how fund balance is constituted and isolates funds that are needed for longer-term obligations, discern what funds are restricted for specified purposes, and classify those funds that are not available at all. To accomplish this goal, the City’s financial statements for governmental funds are compr ised of five fund balance categories, as spelled out in GASB Statement No. 54:
Nonspendable Funds
Restricted Funds
Committed Funds
Assigned Funds
Unassigned Funds
NON-SPENDABLE AND RESTRICTED FUND BALANCE
The first two classifications are subject to requirements outside the local governing body’s control for financial decision making and planning purposes. “Nonspendable” resources are essentially irrelevant because, by their nature, they are not liquid (i.e., land or similar non-cash assets). “Restricted” resources are of no discretionary value given the restrictions placed upon them by a third-party outside of the City’s control (i.e., reserve funds required to be set aside by bond documents). Accordingly, this policy will just briefly describe these two classifications.
Nonspendable Funds
Some of the assets that are included in determining the City’s fund balance are inherently nonspendable:
Assets that will never convert to cash, such as prepaid items and inventories Assets that will not convert to cash within sixty (60) days from the start of the fiscal year, such as long-term loans receivable, and non-financial assets held for resale Assets that must be maintained intact pursuant to legal or contractual requirements, such as an endowment
3 | Page
Reserve Policies
Adopted June 8, 2022
Restricted Funds
Restricted funds describe the portion of the fund balance that is subject to externally enforceable legal restrictions, these restrictions fall into three (3) categories:
Restrictions are imposed by parties altogether outside the scope of the City’s governance:
Creditors (typically through a debt covenant)
Grantors (typically State, Federal and other governmental agencies) Contributors
Other governments
Restrictions that arise when the authorization to raise revenues is conditioned upon the revenue being used for a particular purpose:
Gas taxes must be used for street repair
Proposition C funds must be used for fixed transit routes Proposition A funds must be used for transit programs Measure R must be used for local street repair
Long-term loans receivable and non-financial assets that are collected can also be considered Restricted if the collected funds are subject to an externally enforceable restriction on how they can be spent.
PROCEDURES
This section provides a comprehensive protocol on what is legally deemed the unrestricted (or spendable) portion of the General Fund fund balance, and the order in which the classifications are spent. The unrestricted portion of the fund balance is comprised of the General Fund’s resources classified as “Committed,” “Assigned,” or “Unassigned.”
UNRESTRICTED (SPENDABLE) FUND BALANCE
Committed Funds
Committed funds describe a portion of the fund balance that is constrained by limitations imposed by the Montebello City Council. The City Council imposed limitation must occur no later than the close of the reporting period (i.e., end of the fiscal year) and remains binding unless removed under the same manner. A commitment is made by City Council adoption of a re solution that states the amount and purpose of the commitment.
This policy requires the commitment to be made as part of the annual budget adoption process (which typically occurs in June of each year). Furthermore, this policy sets out two distinct commitments:
Economic Uncertainties Reserve and Unfunded Liabilities Reserve.
4 | Page
Reserve Policies
Adopted June 8, 2022
Committed Funds – Economic Uncertainties Reserve
This reserve policy establishes a Commitment for Economic Uncertainties equal to an amount calculated as twenty -five percent (25%) of the Gene ral Fund’s annual operating revenues.
Appropriations from the Economic Uncertainties Reserve can only be made by formal City Council action (i.e., resolution appropriating use of these reserve funds).
Generally, appropriations and access to these Committed funds will be reserved for emergency situations. Examples of such emergencies include, but are not limited to:
Reduction in revenue equal to or greater than 20% of adopted General Fund revenues in a given fiscal year
An unplanned, major, catastrophic event such as a natural disaster requiring expenditures over
10% of General Fund adopted appropriations in a given fiscal year Unfunded and/or unpredictable State or Federal legislative or judicial mandates Any other unforeseen event that causes the City to expend funds in excess of 10% of General
Fund adopted appropriations in a given fiscal year
Committed Funds – Unfunded Liabilities Reserve
This reserve policy establishes a Commitment for Unfunded Liabilities equal to an amount calculated as five percent (5%) of the Gene ral Fu nd’s annual operating revenues.
Appropriations from the Unfunded Liabilities Res erve can only be made by formal City Co uncil action (i.e., resolution appropriating use of these reserve funds).
Generally, appropriations and access to these Committed funds will be reserved to pay-down unfunded liabilities. Examples of such uses include, but are not limited to:
Establishment of a Section 115 irrevocable trust to pay-down Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) liabilities
Making Additional Discretionary Payments (ADP) related to the City’s pension plan (i.e., PERS) Funding other unfunded liabilities as identified or needed
Assigned Funds
Assigned funds describe the portion of the General Fund reserves that reflect the use of resources by the Montebello City Council intended to provide a means and source of funding for various near-term and long-term needs. Funds can be designated “assigned” to address equipment replacement needs as well as to set-aside funding for unfunded/unprogrammed future capital and/or infrastructure projects.
This policy grants authority to assign funds to the Director of Finance. Assignment of reserves may be modified by the Director of Finance as part of the annual budget process. Use of assigned funds 5 | Page
Reserve Policies
Adopted June 8, 2022
requires formal action by the City Council to appropriate funds in the appropriate account.
Specifically, this reserve policy establishes assignments for the following short-term and long-term needs, at the various levels specified:
Equipment/Technology Replacement and Upgrades
Capital Improvement (Unfunded/Un-programmed)
Deferred Maintenance/Infrastructure Maintenance
Energy Efficiency Projects
Self-insured Retention
Economic Sustainability
Additional assignments can and will be made by the Director of Finance as part of the preparation of the annual Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR). These assignments generally include reserving funds for deposits, debt service and bond defeasance. The CAFR will include a detailed accounting of all GASB Statement No. 54 fund balance classifications, including all Assigned Funds.
Equipment/Technology Replacement and Upgrade Assignment
An assignment for equipment and/or technology replacement and upgrade needs will be made that is equal to five (5%) of the General Fund’s annual operating revenues.
This assignment is intended to be utilized for non-routine or extraordinary equipment replacement needs, and would include not just rolling stock but other equipment such as computers, network and telecom systems, furniture and related equipment, and other critical citywide “equipment” needs.
Capital Improvement (Unfunded/Un-programmed) Assignment
An assignment will be made that is equal to five percent (5%) of the General Fund’s annual operating revenues for the purposes of providing funding for any unfunded, unprogrammed or otherwise un-planned capital improvement projects that required a General Fund funding component.
The purpose of this assignment is to provide an auxiliary means of funding capital improvement projects that do not have a dedicated or restricted funding stream (i.e., non-General Fund source of funding).
Deferred Maintenance/Infrastructure Maintenance Assignment
An assignment will be made that is equal to $1,000,000 for the purpose of providing funding for deferred maintenance on the City’s building assets (i.e., City Hall, community centers), sports fields and other related infrastructure items.
The purpose of the Deferred Maintenance/Infrastructure Maintenance assignment is to provide a reserve for deferred maintenance on the City’s buildings, sports fields, parks, community centers and other related infrastructure. The Deferred Maintenance assignment could also be utilized to replace items such as equipment in community centers, parks, etc. This assignment could be used to supplement 6 | Page
Reserve Policies
Adopted June 8, 2022
the Equipment/Technology Replacement and Upgrade assignment for these types of “on e-time” furniture and equipment purchases. The amount of this assignment will be evaluated on a regular basis and either decreased or increased based on updated deferred maintenance needs and priorities as well as available fund balance.
This assignment is separate and distinct from the “Capital Improvement” assignment, which is intended to fund capital projects related to roads, sewer systems, rights of way and similar areas.
Insurance – Risk Management Assignment
An assignment will be made that is equal to $500,000 and is intended to meet the City’s “self-insured retention” for various insurance needs.
The intent of this assignment is to supplement funding in the City’s Self-Insurance Fund (Fund 700) if necessary based on workers compensation and/or liability claims expenditures. This amount will be re- evaluated and adjusted as necessary.
Economic Sustainability Assignment
An assignment will be made equal to $1,000,000 to fund e conomic development sustainability efforts within the C i t y of M o n t e b e l l o. Funds can only be appropriated through formal action by the City Council taken approving a specific economic development project, mission or other t a r g e t e d e f f o r t aimed at increasing the City’s sales tax and/or property tax revenue.
The Economic Sustainability assignment would establish a pool of funds that could be utilized to improve the City’s sales tax and/or property tax base. Use of these funds would be controlled through a strategic effort that would require a specific, City Council approved plan for how the funds would be utilized.
Unassigned Funds
The General Fund may have net resources in excess of what is classified in one of the four previous categories ( non-spendable, restricted, committed or assigned). This amount is pr esented as the Unassigned Fund Balance amount. Only the General Fund can report a positive unassigned fund balance. However, all governmental funds can report a negative unassigned fund balance.
This policy dictates that any amount of fund balance will be classified as “unassigned” after funding the Economic Uncertainties Reserve and Unfunded Liabilities Commitments plus the various Assigned reserves made in accordance with the preceding section. This policy allows for “unassigned” funds and places no specific res trictions on their use. In general, the City Council could choose to utilize “unassigned” fund balance for one-time projects or uses in a given fiscal year, such as technology upgrades, infrastructure improvements, economic development efforts, paying down long-term liabilities, or other such uses either not allocated for in this pol icy or in addit ion to the r eserve policies set forth herein.

Reserve Policies
Adopted June 8, 2022
Use of Resources
In circumstances when an expenditure is made for a purpose for which amounts are available in multiple fund balance classifications, the order of allocation of these available funds is first restricted, second committed, third assigned and lastly unassigned amounts.
REPLENISHMENT OF COMMITTED AND/OR ASSIGNED RESERVES
In keeping with the principles discussed in this policy, when either Committed or Assigned funds are utilized for their specific, intended purposes, or the levels fall below the policy levels as described and set forth herein, the City Council will develop a reserve replenishment plan to return the various reserves to their policy levels. This plan will seek to return the Committed and/or Assigned reserves to their policy levels within one (1) to three (3) years, per City Council direction. Furthermore, Unassigned funds will be first utilized to maintain and/ or return the Committed and/or Assi gned reserves to their pol icy levels.
