Council Regular Meeting, 6/18/2024, Item No. 2., Item Page 3, Packet Page 10 City Council Minutes June 4, 2024
4 The Council discussed the matter. It was noted that there was payment assistance available to those who experienced difficulty paying their sewer and wastewater rates. It was noted that the rates had not been raised in over a decade. It was acknowledged that a rate increase would impact residents, but stressed that the rates needed to be raised to satisfy the business need not to operate at a loss, and that properly maintaining the City's sewer was important for all. It was noted that the City's rates were on the lower side compared with other area cities' rates. On question from Council, Senior Engineer Harty stated that science showed that sea level rise would occur, and stated that the lowest points of the system needed to be hardened to prevent seawater from entering the sewer system.

On a motion by Councilmember Smith, seconded by Councilmember Haffa, and carried by the following vote, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 24-096 C.S. Increasing Wastewater (Sewer) Rates:

5 14. Provide Direction on Draft Charter Amendments for the November 2024 Election (Not a Project Under CEQA per Article 20, Section 15378 and Under General Rule Article 5, Section 15061) Action: Continued to the evening session; Provided direction This item was heard first in the evening session, pursuant to Council's consensus decision in the afternoon. Assistant City Manager Rojanasathira gave the staff presentation requesting the Council's direction on three potential amendment measures, and answered Councilmembers' questions.

Public comment expressing concerns about and/or spoke against the proposed Charter amendment that would include the allowable appropriation of 2% of transient occupancy tax (TOT) to the General Fund including for maintenance of NCIP projects was received from: Rick Heuer, Hans Jannasch, Chinyere Ogbonna, Lee Whitney, Jayme Fields, and Tammy Jennings, all members of the Neighborhood and Community Improvement Program (NCIP) Committee; Pat Venza, reporting a majority vote of the Monterey Vista Neighborhood Association board; Susan Nine; Marta Kraftzeck; Jeannie Ferrara; Karen Brown; Rosemary Robert; Sharon Dwight; Tom Reeves, reporting a majority vote of the New Monterey Neighborhood Association board; Adam Pinterits; Bob Evans; Lori Mazzuca; and Richard Ruccello, of Casanova Oak Knoll Neighborhood Association. Susan Nine and Adam Pinterits also spoke against the proposed term limits, and Sharon Dwight and Tom Reeves also said that all of the proposed amendments needed to be discussed with the community first.

Esther Malkin noted that this was the beginning of a conversation and that changes were needed for the NCIP. Eric Fonferek and Shane Strong, of American Legion Post 41, spoke in support of the proposed Charter amendment that would allow the City to enter into leases that are below fair market rate rent when such leases are in the best interests of the public and further a public policy. Harish Joshi, member of the Board of Library Trustees, and Jim Thomson, both spoke as an individual against the proposed Charter amendment that would reflect that the Library Board of Trustees does not appoint or remove library personnel other than the Library Director. Mayor Williamson closed the public comment period.

The Council discussed the matter. Direction was provided on Charter amendments as follows:

Sec. 2.8 Eligibility of Elective Officers – proposed amendment would reflect gender-neutral terminology and correct capitalizations.

On consensus, the Council agreed to bring this Sec. 2.8 amendment forward to the voters.

Sec. 5.1 City Manager – proposed amendment would reflect that the Library Board of Trustees appoints the Library Director, eliminate a superfluous sentence about appointing an interim City Manager in the absence of the City Manager and Assistant City Manager, and delete a paragraph about the City Manager appointing a secretary who serves in the position at will as this does not reflect current practice or staffing.

On consensus, the Council agreed to bring this Sec. 5.1 amendment forward to the voters.

Sec. 7.1 Public Library and Board of Library Trustees – proposed amendment would reflect that the Library Board of Trustees does not appoint or remove library personnel other than the Library Director, and the City Manager appoints and removes library personnel.

On question from Council, City Attorney Davi stated that to her knowledge the Library Board had never removed library personnel other than the Library Director and that the past practice Council Regular Meeting, 6/18/2024, Item No. 2., Item Page 5, Packet Page 12 City Council Minutes June 4, 2024
6 would be difficult to overcome if the Library Board were to wish to do so at this point. She recommended that the Council move forward with the amendment from a legal perspective.

The Council said that more conversation was needed with the Board of Library Trustees, and on consensus agreed to bring this Sec. 7.1 amendment back for further Council discussion after the next Board of Library Trustees meeting.

Article 6.4 Leases of City Property – proposed amendment would allow the City to enter into leases that are below fair market rate rent when such leases are in the best interests of the public and further a public policy.

On a motion by Councilmember Barber, seconded by Councilmember Smith, and carried by the following vote, the City Council supported bringing forward to the voters the matter of belowmarket leases of city property:

AYES: 5 COUNCILMEMBERS: Barber, Garcia, Haffa, Smith, Williamson NOES: 0 COUNCILMEMBERS: (None)
ABSENT: 0 COUNCILMEMBERS: (None)
ABSTAIN: 0 COUNCILMEMBERS: (None)
RECUSED: 0 COUNCILMEMBERS: (None)
Article 6.6 Neighborhood and Community Improvement Program – proposed amendment would include updating the definition of Capital Project, defining Ordinary and Necessary Services, and allowing, as part of the annual budget, the City Council to appropriate 2% of the Allocation Requirement to the General Fund for General Fund purposes including but not limited to the maintenance of Neighborhood and Community Improvement Program Capital Projects.

The Council expressed differing opinions on how soon such an amendment should and could be considered and under what circumstances. It was proposed to table the matter until after a joint meeting with the NCIP Committee could be held.

On question from the Council, City Manager Uslar said that earlier in the year he and Mayor Williamson had met with NCIP Spokesperson Heuer to discuss ideas about how to work on the NCIP and it didn't go as well as had been hoped. He said that the NCIP Committee would hold its voting night soon and that he believed that the vote results would support projects needed by the City such as repairs to its fire stations and Hilltop Park Center. He said that in July 2024, after the NCIP voting night, more would be known and that holding a joint meeting together with the NCIP Committee would be helpful to determine how the partnership was developing.

On consensus, the Council determined that they would table the NCIP charter amendment indefinitely, and would hold a joint meeting with NCIP Committee in July for further discussion.

Sec. 2.8 Term of Office of Councilmember Filing as Candidate for Mayor – proposed amendment would allow mayoral candidates serving on Council to continue to serve until their replacement is appointed.

Sec. 3.1 The Mayor – proposed amendment would state that the Mayor is elected every two years and their term ends when their successor is elected and qualified, state that no former Mayor shall hold any compensated appointive City office or regular City employment until one year after the term for which they were elected to Council, and add term limits of 8 years but allow the term limit not to apply if no eligible candidates were nominated for office.

Council Regular Meeting, 6/18/2024, Item No. 2., Item Page 6, Packet Page 13 City Council Minutes June 4, 2024
7 Sec. 4.1 City Council – proposed amendment would state that Councilmembers are elected every four years and their term ends when their successor is elected and qualified, and impose term limits of 8 years but allow the term limit not to apply if no eligible candidates were nominated for office.

Sec. 4.4 Legislation – proposed amendment would require publication of the ordinance number and title at least once in a newspaper within 15 days of its adoption, allow ordinances to be adopted without reading in full the title or text, and allow for adoption with substantive or clerical amendments between the time of its introduction and the time of its final passage as long as the general scope and original purpose are retained.

The Council discussed these matters. Comments in favor of term limits included highlighting the increased equity, political participation, and diversity of candidates that could result. Comments against eight-year term limits included concern about the loss of experience and institutional knowledge that could result. It was suggested to let the voters decide and that perhaps a 12- year term limit would be a workable compromise.

Based on conversation with the Council, City Attorney Davi said she could restructure the ballot measures so that the proposed amendment for term limits could stand on its own.

On a motion by Councilmember Barber, seconded by Councilmember Garcia, and carried by the following vote, the Council supported bringing forward to the voters the matters of cleaning up Charter Sec. 2.8 with regard to terms of office of Councilmembers filing as candidates for Mayor, and Charter Sec. 4.4 with regard to ordinance adoption and noticing, and bringing as a separate matter to the voters the matters of Charter Sections 3.1 and 4.1 with a proposed twelve (12) year term limit in both instances:

enhance mobility for people of all ages and abilities.” This action is in accordance with Chapter 28-Purchasing of the City Code, which requires Public Works project contract awards exceeding $150,000 to be approved by City Council.

CAMPAIGN DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENT (LEVINE ACT) APPLIES: No.

Bidder Total Bid
Precision Grade, Inc. $1,600,690.00
Anderson Pacific Engineering Construction, Inc. $2,022,560.00 Granite Rock Construction, Inc. $2,185,724.00
Basis of award for this project is based on the Total Base Bid.

Total Project Construction Estimate:

Construction Contract (Total Base Bid) $1,600,690.00
Construction Contingency, 15% $240,103.50
Total Project Construction Estimate $1,840,793.50
Funding Sources: Project Amount Funds Available
Highway Safety Improvement Grant (37N1214) $730,057.15 $862,455.13 Measure X (35C1851) $226,045.35 $2,025,484.20
Measure P-ADA (35C1555) $644,587.50 $8,958,880.97
As of May 22, 2024, sufficient funding is available to complete the project.

The Finance Department, Public Works Department, and Caltrans Local Assistance Division are working on closing out prior phases of the project and moving grant funds to the Construction Phase of the Project. Additional federal funds may become available from prior phases.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:

The City of Monterey Planning Office determined the project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines (Article 19, Section 15301, Class 1) because the project is an intersection improvement project that involves intersection operation improvements, pedestrian improvements, bicycle improvements, and recreation trail crossing improvements. All work is within the public right-of-way and there will be no creation of new lanes. Furthermore, the project does not qualify for any of the exceptions to the categorical exemptions found at CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2.

Exception a - Location. Classes 3, 4, 5, 6, and 11 are qualified by consideration of where the project is to be located -a project that is ordinarily insignificant in its impact on the environment may in a particularly sensitive environment be significant. Therefore, these classes are considered to apply in all instances, except where the project may impact on an environmental resource of hazardous or critical concern where designated, precisely mapped, and officially Council Regular Meeting, 6/18/2024, Item No. 3., Item Page 2, Packet Page 18 №10/24
adopted pursuant to law by federal, state, or local agencies. Exception a - Location - does not apply to projects which are exempt under Class 1.

Exception b - Cumulative Impact. All exemptions for these classes are inapplicable when the cumulative impact of successive projects of the same type in the same place, over time is significant. There would be no cumulative impact because the project does not involve the creation of additional automobile lanes.

Exception c - Significant Effect. A categorical exemption shall not be used for an activity where there is a reasonable possibility that the activity will have a significant effect on the environment due to unusual circumstances. No unusual circumstances are anticipated due to improvements' limited scope and distinct locations.

Exception d - Scenic Highways. A categorical exemption shall not be used for a project which may result in damage to scenic resources, including but not limited to, trees, historic buildings, rock outcroppings, or similar resources, within a highway officially designated as a state scenic highway. This does not apply to improvements which are required as mitigation by an adopted negative declaration or certified Environmental Impact Report (EIR). The project would not be visible from a scenic highway.

Exception e - Hazardous Waste Sites. A categorical exemption shall not be used for a project located on a site which is included on any list compiled pursuant to Section 65962.5 of the Government Code. No impact to sites included on any list compiled pursuant to Section 65962.5 of the Government code would occur.

Exception f - Historical Resources. A categorical exemption shall not be used for a project which may cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource. The project is located in the area of high archeological sensitivity as shown in the General Plan (Figure 8).

The project will include digging into native soil at a depth of approximately 13 feet (only for the traffic signal pole foundations), a depth typically within the native soil. A Phase I Archeological Report, dated January 4, 2023, was prepared by Dudek for the Del Monte Avenue and Casa Verde Way intersection in anticipation of this improvement project. The study concluded that there is moderate potential for encountering cultural resources during the planned construction.

As recommended by the study, the project will include an on-site qualified archeological monitor for all ground disturbing activities during construction, and will comply with regulations regarding accidental discovery of human remains. Therefore, the project would not have an impact on archeological resources.

ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED:

Council could choose not to award the construction contract for this Project; however, the proposed project implements Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) upgrades that are required in accordance with the City’s ADA Transition Plan. This project is federally funded and has a tight timeline. Any delays in this project could jeopardize the City’s ability to meet the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) timely use of funds grant deadlines for the Del Monte and Casa Verde and Recreation Trail Crossing Intersection Improvement Project, which would force the City to forfeit the $923,832 in grant funding.

Council Regular Meeting, 6/18/2024, Item No. 3., Item Page 3, Packet Page 19 №10/24
DISCUSSION:

Project Overview
The project was first identified as a part of a community planning process. Two public meetings were held in October 2016 and May 2017. At the May 2017 meeting, six alternatives were presented, and the early concept of this project, which is before City Council on June 18, 2024, was identified as the preferred concept. The Del Monte Beach Neighborhood had several concerns with this crossing and the intersection. The project was initiated through the Neighborhood Capital Improvement Program (NCIP) where funds were appropriated to develop a grant application and to leverage as matching funds.

In August of 2018, City staff applied for a competitive grant through the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) to fund intersection improvements at Del Monte Avenue and Casa Verde Way. This was done based on the prior neighborhood study and additional safety analysis prepared by Staff and Consultants. The City was successful in obtaining the grant funding by demonstrating the need and purpose of this project and showing a Benefit-to-cost ratio of 12.1, which far exceeded the minimum required ratio of 3.5. The countermeasures used to establish the benefit of the project were “Installing Ped Crossing,” “Protected Left Turn Phase,” and “Leading Pedestrian Interval.” The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) awarded the City of Monterey a $923,832 grant for the Del Monte and Casa Verde and Recreation Trail Crossing Intersection Improvement Project.

This intersection is the convergence point of popular beach access and the only entry and exit for this neighborhood, access to Bay View Academy Charter School, a popular trail crossing, and a major commute route into the city for all modes of transportation, especially bicycles which utilize the Monterey Peninsula Recreational Trail. The Recreational Trail links the cities of Marina, Sand City, Seaside, Monterey, and Pacific Grove. The trail connects employment centers such as Cannery Row and Downtown to residential areas and it is used throughout the day as well as evening hours. The project will provide safe access for bicyclists and pedestrians on a vital link between residential, commercial, educational, and community facilities. The Project includes trail and crosswalk improvements, traffic signal safety modifications to include protected left turns on Casa Verde Way, and ADA improvements. This project is consistent with the adopted City of Monterey Multi-Modal Mobility Plan and the City Council’s Value Driver and Strategic Initiatives.

During the Design Phase, there was a virtual public meeting and the creation of a Project webpage on Have Your Say Monterey, the City’s outreach website. During the July 1, 2021 meeting, preliminary concepts were presented and residents had opportunities to vote on some alternatives with the trail alignment as it connected to the intersection. The community also expressed their concerns with right-turning vehicles, poor driver behavior in regards to pedestrians, and visibility of pedestrians; through this discussion, the City rescoped the project with Caltrans to include a dedicated Right Turn Lane on westbound Del Monte Avenue.

Construction
The project plans and specifications were developed by City staff and extensively advertised for construction bids and are available for public review in the Office of the City Engineer (580 Pacific St., Room 7). On April 30, 2024, the city received three (3) bids. The lowest responsive, Council Regular Meeting, 6/18/2024, Item No. 3., Item Page 4, Packet Page 20 №10/24
responsible bid was submitted by Precision Grade, Inc. in the amount of $1,600,690.00. The bid from Anderson Pacific Engineer Construction, Inc. was deemed incomplete when they failed to submit a Good Faith Effort for not achieving the Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE) participation goal as required by the terms of the City’s Federally Funded Project. The City will update the project webpage post Council approval with the Final Plans. Figure 1 shows an excerpt from the Project Plans.

Figure 1: Northside Project Layout.

The City is currently advertising for a request for proposals for construction management services to support this project and anticipates returning to City Council for award in July 2024.

The selected construction management team will support the City’s Outreach Efforts and provide updated construction timelines.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MONTEREY
№09/24
ADDING MONTEREY CITY CODE SECTION 28-14(i) TO EXCEPT PRIVATE

DEVELOPMENT ON LEASED CITY PROPERTY FROM COMPETITIVE PROCUREMENT REQUIREMENTS; AND AMENDING SECTION 28-9(a) TO CLARIFY THE PROPER

AWARDING BODY FOR JOB ORDER CONTRACTS
THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MONTEREY DOES ORDAIN, as follows:

SECTION 1:

WHEREAS, job order contracts(“JOC”) have been awarded by Council to expedite repairs and upgrades of common, repetitive work according to competitively bid unit pricing based on quantities that are unknown at the time of award of the contract; WHEREAS, the intent of these contracts is to provide the City with a readily available workforce for repairs, upgrades to existing infrastructure, and emergency repairs of any value up to the contract limit, as the City deems appropriate; WHEREAS, delegating authority to the Purchasing Agent to award JOC contracts that are capped at $150,000 or less per year, promotes efficiency by utilizing informal purchasing processes ;
WHEREAS, the City leases properties, including on Old Fisherman’s Wharf and Wharf No. 2, to private parties who operate recreational, fishing, maritime, and other concessions open to the public;
WHEREAS, lessees who receive rent concessions, loans, or other consideration in exchange for making building repairs or tenant improvements, for example, are required under state law to pay prevailing wages and follow the City Code requirements relating to competitive bidding. The amendment will continue to require payment of prevailing wages while allowing lessees to follow their own procurement processes so that they have flexibility to find the most cost-effective solutions for their business; and
WHEREAS, the City of Monterey determined that the adoption of this ordinance is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (CCR, Title 14, Chapter 3 (“CEQA Guidelines”), Article 20, Section 15378). In addition, CEQA Guidelines section 15061 includes the general rule that CEQA applies only to activities which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. The adoption of this ordinance is an organizational and administrative activity of the City, does not have the potential to result in either a direct or reasonably foreseeably indirect physical change in the environment, and is therefore not a project of purposes of CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines sections 15061(b)(3); 15378(b)(5).

Because the matter does not cause a direct or any reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change on or in the environment, this matter is not a project. In the event adoption of this ordinance does constitute a project, it is categorically exempt under the Class 20 (Changes in Date: 6/18/2024
Item No.: 4.

Council Regular Meeting, 6/18/2024, Item No. 4., Item Page 1, Packet Page 26 the Organization of Local Governments) categorical exemption (State CEQA Guidelines section 15320). Further, none of the exceptions to exemptions found in State CEQA Guidelines section 15300.2 apply.

NOW THEREFORE, the Monterey City Council declares as follows:

SECTION 2: The above recitals are true and correct and are hereby incorporated and adopted as findings of the City Council as if fully set forth herein.

SECTION 3: Monterey City Code, Chapter 28, Section 14(i) is hereby amended to read as follows:
“i. Contracts by City lessees for improvements to leased City property whether or not funded in whole or in part by the City. Nothing in this section shall be read to repudiate the application of Labor Code section 1772 or any successor state statute, or this Chapter’s provisions concerning the payment of prevailing wages on public works contracts.”
SECTION 4: Monterey City Code, Chapter 28, Section 9(a) is hereby amended to read as follows:
“a. Individual annual contracts, referred to as “job order contracts,” none of which may exceed one million dollars ($1,000,000), may be awarded for repair, maintenance, remodeling, paving, sidewalk repair, or other work to be done according to unit prices. Job order contracts may only be utilized for new construction totaling less than one hundred fifty thousand dollars ($150,000). The contracts shall be awarded to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder and shall be based on plans and specifications for typical work. Job order contracts that are capped at $150,000 or less per year shall be awarded by the Purchasing Agent; all other job order contracts shall be awarded by the City Council. No job order contract shall exceed three (3) years (including any extensions), except as necessary to complete outstanding work orders that were awarded within the three (3) year period.

For purposes of this section, the term “unit price” shall mean the amount paid for a single unit of an item of work, the term “typical work” shall mean a work description applicable universally or applicable to a large number of individual projects, as distinguished from work specifically described with respect to an individual project, and the term “repair, remodeling, paving, sidewalk repair, or other repetitive work to be done according to unit prices” shall not include design or contract drawings.”
SECTION 5: All ordinances and parts of ordinances in conflict herewith are hereby repealed.

SECTION 6: This ordinance shall be in full force and effect thirty (30) days from and after its final passage and adoption.

Agenda Report
FROM: Andrew Miller, Fire Chief
Cheryl Kouretas, Senior Administrative Analyst
SUBJECT: Amend Resolution 23-067, Changing the Position Control List by Adding Three (3) Firefighter Positions, Adding One (1) Assistant Fire Chief Position and Authorizing Appropriation of Funds for the Positions (Not a Project under CEQA Article 20, Section 15378 and under General Rule Article 5, Section 15061) RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council amend Resolution 23-067 to adjust the Position Control List by adding three (3) Firefighter positions, adding one (1) Assistant Fire Chief position, and authorizing the appropriation of funds for the four (4) positions.

VALUE DRIVERS:

Provide sufficient resources and support to develop, retain, and recruit a high-quality city workforce.

POLICY IMPLICATIONS:

It is within the City Council’s purview to modify the Position Control List as needed. This recommendation is consistent with the City policy to ensure that critical City functions are properly staffed and supports the value driver of “providing sufficient resources and support to develop and retain a high-quality city workforce.”
CAMPAIGN DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENT (LEVINE ACT) APPLIES: No FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

The Fire Department has six (6) Firefighter vacancies, and a Firefighter recruitment was recently completed. Ten candidates are undergoing background checks and if cleared, could be eligible for hiring. Adding three (3) Firefighter positions would allow the City to hire a total of nine (9) Firefighters as part of this current Firefighter recruitment and save the City the cost of running another fire academy in the next year as several additional vacancies are anticipated by December 31, 2024. This would save up to $60,000, depending on the length of the academy, in training personnel overtime.

The additional three (3) Firefighter positions would increase the total Fire Operations headcount from 78 to 81.

Date: 6/18/2024
Item No.: 5.

Council Regular Meeting, 6/18/2024, Item No. 5., Item Page 1, Packet Page 29 №10/24
The annual cost of a Firefighter position at Step 3 total compensation with benefits is currently $150,383 for a total cost $451,149 for three positions. At least three (3) additional vacancies are anticipated by December 31, 2024. If approved, when these three (3) vacancies occur, the three (3) added positions will become unfunded and not filled, and Staff will ask the City Council to amend the position control list accordingly.

Once the Firefighters have completed the upcoming Fire Academy, substantial savings will come from additional resources to absorb backfill overtime of current Fire Operations personnel’s absences as well as anticipated vacancies prior to December 31, 2024.

The additional Assistant Fire Chief position would increase the total current Fire Administration headcount from 5 to 6. The annual cost of an Assistant Fire Chief at Step 3 total compensation with benefits is currently $296,577.

The total compensation for the additional three Firefighters and Assistant Fire Chief is $747,726 per year before any other associated costs such as overtime, which currently averages $113,003 per firefighter per year.

If the City Council later decides not to continue funding these firefighter positions, the persons occupying these positions will be laid off. If the positions become unfunded prior to a vacancy, the employee(s) assigned to the positions will be laid off and placed on a re-employment list for a period not to exceed 24 months per Monterey City Code, Section 25-13.03.(f).

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:

The City of Monterey determined that the proposed action is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (CCR, Title 14, Chapter 3 (“CEQA Guidelines), Article 20, Section 15378). In addition, CEQA Guidelines Section 15061 includes the general rule that CEQA applies only to activities which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Because the proposed action and this matter have no potential to cause any effect on the environment, or because it falls within a category of activities excluded as projects pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378, this matter is not a project. Because the matter does not cause a direct or any reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change on or in the environment, this matter is not a project. Any subsequent discretionary projects resulting from this action will be assessed for CEQA applicability.

ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED:

The City Council could choose to not authorize adjusting the position control list to add three (3) Firefighter positions and one (1) Assistant Fire Chief position. This is not recommended as the possibility of at least three additional vacancies occurring before December 31, 2024, is anticipated. Running another Fire Academy at a later date is a significant cost as well as having fewer firefighters to fill daily leave vacancies due to minimum staffing requirements.

Currently, these vacancies are being backfilled by overtime.

The City Council could also choose not to authorize one (1) additional Assistant Fire Chief position. However, this is not recommended as the Fire Department would be best served with two (2) full-time Assistant Fire Chief positions to appropriately manage all divisions within the department. The Assistant Fire Chief is a key position in the Fire Department, overseeing operations and training. The position may also assist the Fire Chief managing the Fire Council Regular Meeting, 6/18/2024, Item No. 5., Item Page 2, Packet Page 30 №10/24
Prevention Division and the Emergency Management Division. According to the Citygate Community Risk Assessment and Standards of Cover Study completed in April 2022, there is insufficient support for the Fire Prevention and Emergency Operations divisions due to a lack of sufficient headquarters staffing capacity to meet workload demand.

DISCUSSION:

Three Additional Firefighters Sought in Upcoming Academy to Reduce Overtime The Fire Department conducts a four-month in-house academy for new Firefighters (the length depends on the new hires’ experience). During that time, those personnel are not available to fill vacancies to meet the minimum daily staffing levels. When personnel are hired for an existing vacancy, relief personnel and/or overtime are used to fill that vacancy until the conclusion of the academy.

The Fire Department is anticipating several vacancies prior to the end of the 2024 calendar year. In an effort to have personnel ready to fill vacancies as soon as possible, staff recommends that the position control list is increased by three (3) firefighter positions to complete the recruit academy tentatively scheduled to begin in August 2024. This would bring the total number of firefighters in the academy to nine (9) firefighters. The academy will most likely end in November 2024 and personnel completing the academy will begin to count towards the daily minimum staffing. At that time, savings in overtime will immediately be realized.

There are fixed costs associated with running an academy that are not a function of the number of personnel in the academy. These include overtime costs for instructional staff and some materials costs. It is significantly less expensive to run a single academy with more recruits than running multiple academies with fewer recruits. Given the anticipated vacancies during this calendar year, the Fire Department will have to run another academy in the beginning of 2025 if we do not hire additional personnel for this current academy.

One Additional Assistant Fire Chief Needed for Department Operations The Fire Chief oversees the Administration, Fire Prevention and Emergency Management Divisions and the Assistant Fire Chief position oversees the Operations and Training Divisions.

These responsibilities also apply to Monterey Fire Department’s contract jurisdictions of the cities of Pacific Grove, Carmel-by-the-Sea, and Sand City; Monterey Peninsula Airport District, and La Mesa Village. The department also provides oversight of the Carmel Fire Ambulance employees and operations and is in discussion with the City of Carmel-by-the-Sea to fully contract ambulance operations with the Monterey Fire Department.

In 2014 the Monterey Peninsula Airport District’s fire department contracted with the City of Monterey. With this new contract, operational complexity increased due to Federal Aviation Agency (FAA) mandates related to Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting (ARFF). There has been no increase in administrative/management support for the ARFF airport operations since 2014.

In addition, the Department is expanding the (Advanced Life Support) ALS/paramedic program.

The Department began with one ALS engine in 2018 and now has three (3) ALS engines as of 2024. The Department is in the process to add an ALS engine in Pacific Grove and Carmel as well as further expanding ALS services. There has been no increase in administrative/management support for the EMS/ALS program since 2018.

Council Regular Meeting, 6/18/2024, Item No. 5., Item Page 3, Packet Page 31 №10/24
Based on the expanding operations and independent firm Citygate Associates’ 2022 Community Risk Assessment and Standards of Cover Study indicating staffing capacity gaps, the Department would be better served with two (2) full-time Assistant Fire Chiefs. As noted in the study:
 Fire Chief does not have sufficient capacity for strategic/long-term planning, goal setting, and program evaluation
 The EMS program lacks sufficient management, training, quality care oversight and administrative support capacity to meet its mandated/delegated responsibilities and to minimize the City’s legal liabilities as related to the provision of emergency medical services
 There is insufficient capacity to adequately support the City Emergency Operations Center (EOC) / Emergency Management function
 There is insufficient support for the Administrative, Fire Prevention and Operations Divisions
By reorganizing the management of the department’s divisions and adding a second Assistant Fire Chief position, the department will be better situated to manage the day-to-day operations and the department’s fire contracts, while also expanding operations and performing strategic/long-term planning and goal setting.

FROM: Andrew Miller, Fire Chief
Prepared By: Cheryl Kouretas, Senior Administrative Analyst SUBJECT: Authorize the City Manager to Enter into an Agreement with the California Department of Parks and Recreation to Provide Seasonal Lifeguard Services on City of Monterey Beaches for a Cost not to Exceed $50,679 per year (Not a Project under CEQA Article 20, Section 15378 and under General Rule Article 5, Section 15061)
RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council authorize the City Manager to enter into an agreement with the California Department of Parks and Recreation to provide seasonal lifeguard services on City of Monterey beaches for a cost not to exceed $50,679 per year.

VALUE DRIVERS:

POLICY IMPLICATIONS:

For over two (2) decades, the City has partnered with the California Department of Parks and Recreation to provide lifeguard services on the City of Monterey beaches. The current five-year agreement expires June 30, 2024. The new proposed agreement would continue the annual lifeguard service for the next three years.

Segments of the beach are owned by various jurisdictions inside the City limits. Portions of beach property are owned by the City, the State of California, United States Navy, and private entities.

The City of Monterey has an Operation Agreement with the State of California in which the City is responsible for the operation and maintenance of Monterey State Beach, which makes up

51.1% of the beachfront between Municipal Wharf 2 and the Monterey/Seaside City Limits. The term of the Operation Agreement expires in September 2031.

CAMPAIGN DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENT (LEVINE ACT) APPLIES: Yes.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

Under the proposed agreement, the California Department of Parks and Recreation (State Parks) will provide seasonal lifeguards at beaches in the City of Monterey, including those Date: 6/18/2024
Item No.: 6.

Council Regular Meeting, 6/18/2024, Item No. 6., Item Page 1, Packet Page 35 №10/24
owned by the City of Monterey. Monterey will pay State Parks their direct costs associated with providing these services along with an administrative overhead fee of 16%. The proposed agreement is for a term beginning on July 1, 2024, and ending June 30, 2027. The total cost of the agreement is not to exceed $50,679 per year, which has been included in the 2024-25 adopted budget. Each year, State Parks develops a program schedule that maximizes coverage while staying within the cost constraints. This allows the program to be adjusted as lifeguard personnel costs may increase from year to year.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:

ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED:

The City Council could choose not to authorize the City Manager to enter into this agreement.

Eliminating lifeguard services is not recommended as the program has a long track record of increasing safety at beaches located in the City of Monterey.

The City Council could choose to have the City hire its own lifeguards. However, developing and maintaining an ocean lifeguard program for the City to meet training, equipment, coverage, and hiring needs are not as cost-effective and efficient as contracting these services with the State of California with an existing program which provides lifeguard services throughout the state. Ocean lifeguard training is a specialty that requires expertise in public safety, first aid, CPR, AED, open-water lifesaving techniques, and aquatic search and rescue procedures.

DISCUSSION:

For 24 years, the City of Monterey has provided funding for California State Parks to provide lifeguard services throughout City, federal, and State-owned beaches. In addition, the City provides a City-owned and maintained lifeguard 4x4 pickup truck for California State Parks to provide lifeguard services. The State of California recently stated that without the City’s funding, it is unlikely that the State would be able to provide any lifeguard service in Monterey, including on popular beaches such as Del Monte Beach and near the Tides Hotel. The current contract is set to expire at the end of June 2024.

Providing this service via contract adds, in the most economical way possible, to the safety of the beach and value for our residents and visitors in experiencing a supervised beach environment during the times that the State Lifeguards are present. Annual summaries Council Regular Meeting, 6/18/2024, Item No. 6., Item Page 2, Packet Page 36 №10/24
provided by State Parks show that they have several thousand contacts with the public to prevent emergencies.

The contract provides for lifeguard service every day during the summer, during the spring break period, and selected weekends and holidays during the spring and fall. State Parks adjusts the schedule to meet demand, based on weather conditions, and to ensure that the total cost does not exceed the contract limit. Lifeguards are positioned at the tower at the north end of Del Monte Beach as well as in a City lifeguard truck that provides mobile patrolling and responds to emergencies along the entire coastline served by the Monterey Fire Department.

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution to authorize the City Manager to enter into an agreement with the California Department of Parks and Recreation to provide seasonal lifeguard services on City of Monterey beaches for a cost not to exceed $50,679 per year.

RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council adopt the attached resolution authorizing the City Manager, or designee, to enter into a contract with the Homeland Security Grant Program-State Homeland Security Program to accept grant funded marine safety equipment in the amount of $14,901.

VALUE DRIVERS:

This action supports the Strategic Priority to “identify and seek grant funding opportunities for City services and infrastructure, including parks, recreation, library, museums, public safety, fire prevention, and planning.”
CAMPAIGN DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENT (LEVINE ACT) APPLIES: No FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

There is no fiscal impact of accepting the grant funded equipment purchased by the Homeland Security Grant Program-State Homeland Security Program grant.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:

Council Regular Meeting, 6/18/2024, Item No. 7., Item Page 1, Packet Page 40 the environment, or because it falls within a category of activities excluded as projects pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378, this matter is not a project. Because the matter does not cause a direct or any reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change on or in the environment, this matter is not a project. Any subsequent discretionary projects resulting from this action will be assessed for CEQA applicability.

ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED:

The City Council may choose to not accept this grant; however, this is not recommended as the grant will provide additional marine safety equipment that will increase safety and service to the community.

DISCUSSION:

On October 9, 2023, Fire Department staff applied for a grant through the Homeland Security grant program for additional marine safety equipment. The application was for removing and replacing outdated marine navigation and communication equipment on the City of Monterey’s fireboat based at Coast Guard Pier.

The new equipment will increase crew safety and capability in the following areas: intuitive touch screen vessel navigation, encrypted search pattern overlay capability communicated from the United States Coast Guard (USCG) for unified command, side scan sonar for object and body recovery, new modernized radar capability, nearby vessel identification (AIS) and navigational aid display (via augmented reality) for collision avoidance, and new automatic battery charging relays.

The City’s fireboat responds to calls along the coast and is a regional asset for Monterey and Santa Cruz counties. The project will help to maintain the reliability and capability of the vessel as a regional asset to multiple agencies. The intended benefit is to extend the service life of the vessel, increase navigation capability and crew safety by replacing outdated equipment with modern electronics to stay technologically current, and increase interoperability with other agencies.

Other benefits include, building and improving capability by allowing encrypted search pattern sharing from the U.S. Coast Guard, side scan sonar for object and body recovery and reducing crew risk with modern navigation equipment employing the latest technology and safety features. Situational awareness and identification of fireboat vessel position and nearby vessels will be enhanced, along with reducing the possibility of vessel collision or grounding during periods of restricted visibility. The project will also increase interoperability by enhanced navigation and communications with the City of Monterey’s partner agencies, including: the U.S.

Coast Guard and U.S. Navy, Monterey County Sheriff's Dive Team, California Department of Fish & Wildlife enforcement, CAL FIRE, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary, and California State Parks as well as all local, state and federal agencies in the coastal regions of Monterey Bay.

The City will comply with all grant requirements, including completing the performance of activities by May 1, 2025, conducting a physical inventory of awarded equipment at least every two years, maintaining adequate maintenance procedures to keep the awarded equipment in Council Regular Meeting, 6/18/2024, Item No. 7., Item Page 2, Packet Page 41 good condition, and contacting the County to request disposition instructions if/when the equipment needs replacement or is no longer needed.

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution authorizing the City Manager to sign a contract accepting a Grant for Marine Safety Equipment from the Homeland Security Grant Program-State Homeland Security Program.

Date: 6/18/2024
Item No.: 8.

Council Regular Meeting, 6/18/2024, Item No. 8., Item Page 1, Packet Page 46 DISCUSSION:

The City of Monterey approved the Ocean View Plaza Project (“Project”) located at 457, 465, 470, 484, 565, and 570 Cannery Row in June 2004. Subsequently, the City of Monterey requested that the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) review the establishment of a Community Services District (CSD) for the project site that would own, operate, and maintain the proposed desalination plant once constructed.

LAFCO adopted Resolution No. 05-27 on December 27, 2005, approving the formation of this CSD. The Monterey City Council was subsequently appointed as the District Board and must meet quarterly according to requirements of Government Code section 61044.

In November 2019, the California Coastal Commission denied requests for coastal development permit extensions (Permit No. 3-08-013). The Coastal Commission voted that there were changed circumstances from its original coastal development permit issued in 2008 related to water supply and coastal hazards/sea level rise.

In January 2020, Ruby Falls Fund, LLC, sued the Coastal Commission over its denial of the permit extension request as described in Monterey County Superior Court Case No. 20CV000165. That action was stayed pending resolution of the appeals in related litigation regarding the ownership of the property. On May 1, 2023, in an unpublished decision in the Sixth District Court of Appeal, Case Nos. H048978, H049062, H049160, and H049368, the court ruled that the trial court erred in ruling that Canrow Owner, LLC’s foreclosure was wrongful, among other things. In other words, Ruby Falls Fund, LLC is the property owner.

On August 16, 2023, the Monterey County Superior Court lifted the stay in the action against the Coastal Commission. A hearing on the merits of the writ was heard on May 28, 2024 in Department 15 of the Monterey Superior Court. The Court has taken the matter under submission.

The City originally approved the vesting tentative map for the project on June 1, 2004. The City recognizes an extension by operation of law to June 1, 2025, and may be further tolled. cc: Save Our Waterfront, 781 Terry Street, Monterey, CA 93940 Cannery Row Association

SUBJECT: Amend the Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) Grant Activities Plan to Reallocate FY 2020-2024 Funding to Homeless Assistance Activities (Not a Project under CEQA Article 20, Section 15378 and under General Rule Article 5, Section 15061)
RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council adopt a Resolution to amend the approved Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) Grant Activities Plan to reallocate 95% of funding for FY 2020-2024 to assist persons experiencing homelessness by funding homeless shelter activities and authorize the City Manager to sign required documents.

VALUE DRIVERS:

Support efforts and policies that provide equitable access to affordable housing in Monterey and the region.

POLICY IMPLICATIONS:

Accurately updating the City’s PLHA Grant Activities Plan is required by the grant agreement and the Department of Housing and Community Development’s PLHA Final Guidelines. The grant funds will support the City Council goals regarding affordable housing and supporting housing services for its residents, including the City Council value driver of “working to improve the quality of life of our residents…ensuring that Monterey remains a safe and welcoming place to live, work, and visit”.

CAMPAIGN DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENT (LEVINE ACT) APPLIES: No.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

The City applied for and was awarded a PLHA grant in FY 2019-2020 in the amount of $116,419. The City will be eligible for additional funding up to an estimated $698,514 over a five-year period pending State finances. The City’s 5-Year PLHA Plan period is from FY 2019- FY 2024. This amendment only applies to grant-funded activities for FY 2020-2024. An amendment for FY 2019-2020 was approved by Council on Tuesday, February 20, 2024 with the adoption of Resolution 24-023.

The proposed amendment for the FY 2020-2024 would reallocate 65% of funding that was originally allocated to predevelopment for affordable housing. The original plan also contemplated providing 30% of funding toward rental assistance. This amendment would reallocate all funding to the category of assisting people who are at risk of homelessness and direct funding toward assisting emergency homeless shelter activities. The allocation would now provide 95% of the funding toward emergency homeless shelter funding and 5% toward Date: 6/18/2024
Item No.: 9.

Council Regular Meeting, 6/18/2024, Item No. 9., Item Page 1, Packet Page 48 administrative grant costs. The grant amount awarded from the state would not change, only the allocation for the activities in the Plan.

The City must complete this amendment to the state by June 30, 2024. The City’s PLHA allocation amounts differ each year and funding is based on recorded real estate transactions.

PLHA funds are distributed at the state-wide level and are not available. To date, the City has been awarded the following amounts:
 FY 2019-2020: $116,419;
 FY 2020-2021: $180,952; and
 FY 2021-2022: $199,132.

The total allocation to date is $496,503. Therefore, the recommended action will reallocate at least $361,079.80 in funds from rental assistance and predevelopment activities to emergency homeless shelter activities. Administration will remain the same at 5% ($19,004.20).

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:

The City of Monterey Planning Division determined that the proposed action is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (Article 20, Section 15378). In addition, CEQA Article 5, Section 15061 includes the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Because the proposed action has no potential to cause any effect on the environment, this matter is not a project.

Because the proposed action does not cause a direct or any reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change on or in the environment, this matter is not a project. The appropriate level of CEQA review will be conducted on the future project prior to the City taking any action and on any future development of City property. No decision is considered by the City Council at this time that could be analyzed through the CEQA process.

ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED:

The City Council could decide to allocate Permanent Local Housing Allocation funds to different eligible activities or in different percentages. However, this is not recommended because not reallocating the PLHA funds by June 30, 2024 would result in the City not meeting the deadline to submit an amendment. The activities would then need to remain as currently allocated.

DISCUSSION:

The City Council authorized an application to the State for the Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) grant and subsequently approved a 5-year funding plan. The City received $116,419 for FY 19-20, and an estimated $698,514 for the five-year grant period. Only 5% of grant funds may be allocated for administrative costs.

Allocating PLHA grant funds to assist persons experiencing homelessness by assisting emergency shelter activities will provide needed resources to vulnerable populations on the Monterey Peninsula.

Rental assistance continues to be an important issue in the City and in FY 2023-2024, the City Council directed staff to initiate a Rental Assistance Program that kicked off in April of 2024. The program is funded with $250,000 of City General fund monies. As the City has funds dedicated to rental assistance, re-allocate these PLHA funds provides a continued funding resource to local emergency shelter programs.

Please note that the City is unable to edit the form or the substance of the State provided resolution template for the PLHA action.

Conclusion
Staff recommends the City Council approve the Amendment to the Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) Grant 5-Year Activities Plan (302c4) to allocate 95% of FY 2020-2024 to assist persons experiencing homelessness for homeless shelter activity funding.

Agenda Report
FROM: Brette Neal, Human Resources Director
Prepared By: Gina Russo, Assistant Human Resources Director SUBJECT: Adopting a Resolution Approving the Memorandum of Understanding between the City of Monterey and the Monterey Executive Management Employees’ Association (MEMEA) for the period of July 1, 2024, through June 30, 2027 (Not a Project under CEQA Article 20, Section 15378 and under General Rule Article 5, Section 15061)
RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Council adopt a resolution approving the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the City of Monterey and the Monterey Executive Management Employees’ Association (MEMEA) for the period of July 1, 2024, through June 30, 2027.

VALUE DRIVERS:

Provide sufficient resources and support to develop, retain, and recruit a high-quality city workforce.

POLICY IMPLICATIONS:

The Meyers-Milias-Brown Act (MMBA) of 1968 established collective bargaining for California’s municipal, county and local special district employers and employees. Under MMBA, the governing body of a public agency is required to meet and confer over wages, hours, and other terms and conditions of employment. Approval of an agreement concluding labor negotiations with represented employees in a closed session must be reported after the agreement is final and has been accepted or ratified by the other party. (Government Code sections 54957.1(a)(6) and 3505.1.) Once the City Council votes to accept the MOU, it becomes a binding agreement.

CAMPAIGN DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENT (LEVINE ACT) APPLIES: No.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
[The increase in cost over the 2023-24 base fiscal year is:
 For FY 24-25 is $56,838
 For FY 25-26 is $68,576
 For FY 26-27 is $71,319
The cost for FY 24-25 has been included in the budget adopted at the June 4, 2024 council meeting. Amounts for subsequent fiscal years will be included in the corresponding budget years.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:

Council Regular Meeting, 6/18/2024, Item No. 10., Item Page 1, Packet Page 58 №10/24
rule that CEQA applies only to activities which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Because the proposed action and this matter have no potential to cause any effect on the environment, or because it falls within a category of activities excluded as projects pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378, this matter is not a project. Because the matter does not cause a direct or any reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change on or in the environment, this matter is not a project. Any subsequent discretionary projects resulting from this action will be assessed for CEQA applicability.

ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED:

No alternatives to reaching a successor agreement were considered. The Monterey Executive Management Employees’ Association members and City of Monterey staff contributed to the development of the MOU as presented.

DISCUSSION:

Council Regular Meeting, 6/18/2024, Item No. 10., Item Page 16, Packet Page 73 MEMEA MOU July 1, 2024 – June 30, 2027 Page 13 of 17
compensation earned (rather than a twelve (12)-month average) and employees in Option Plan 2 are not required to participate in cost-sharing of the employers’ contribution to CalPERS. Employees are responsible for paying fifty percent (50.0%) of the total “normal cost” rate. The “normal cost” rate is subject to change on a fiscal year basis as determined by CalPERS.

SECTION 14 BENEFITS DURING WORKERS COMPENSATION LEAVE AND SHORTTERM / LONG-TERM DISABILITY PLAN (STD/LTD) The City shall provide a City-paid combined insured Short-Term Disability / Long-Term Disability Plan (STD/LTD). During the term of this Agreement, the City will pay any increase in costs and will retain any savings resulting from a decrease in cost for this plan.

14.1. Maintenance of Benefits

14.1.1. The City will provide the employee on an industrial or non-industrial disability protected leave of absence with benefits for up to a maximum of one (1) year per incident in accordance with state and federal law.

14.2. Leave Accrual

14.2.1. If, due to an industrial injury or illness, an employee is in a pay status (either City pay or Workers Compensation payment) for the majority of the month, leave accruals (sick leave, vacation, and holidays) shall continue for the first six (6) months of the disability.

14.2.2. If, due to a non-industrial injury or illness, an employee receives disability payments for what constitutes the majority of the month, the employee shall not accrue leave (sick leave, vacation, and holiday).

SECTION 15 GROUP LEGAL SERVICES
Subject to provider limitations, the City will continue to provide a Group Legal Services Plan for employees represented by the Association through an employee-paid premium. Participation in the program shall be voluntary and consistent with the provider's requirements that the potential pool of participants must include a minimum of 200 employees.

SECTION 16 SPECIAL ASSIGNMENT PAY
City Code Section 25-5.12 addresses Special Assignment Pay, with the range for the City Manager or designee to authorize not less than two percent (2.0%) and not more than five percent (5.0%) in a temporary pay adjustment. This section modifies that range as addressed in City Code Section 25-5.12 to be not less than two percent (2.0%) and not more than twenty percent (20.0%).

SECTION 17 FLOATING HOLIDAY

17.1. The Association's holiday schedule shall include one (1) floating holiday per fiscal year, per employee. This floating holiday may be carried over into the following year, but in no case shall an employee be allowed to accrue more than forty (40) hours of accrued floating holiday time. There shall be no cash value to the accrued floating holiday hours.

The scheduling is at the discretion of the employee subject to approval by the City Manager.

If an employee is at the forty (40)-hour maximum accrual, in a pay period when an additional holiday is accrued, the employee may utilize accrued holiday hours in the Exhibit A
Council Regular Meeting, 6/18/2024, Item No. 10., Item Page 17, Packet Page 74 MEMEA MOU July 1, 2024 – June 30, 2027 Page 14 of 17
same pay period in order to obtain the holiday accrual. Otherwise, the employee forfeits that floating holiday.

SECTION 18 MINIMUM LEAVE EVENTS
The minimum leave that can be taken by an employee for all leave events shall be fifteen (15) minutes.

SECTION 19 VOLUNTARY UNPAID LEAVE

19.1. With advance City Manager approval, an employee may take up to eighty (80) hours of management unpaid leave per calendar year. Such leave may be taken in fifteen (15) minute increments. Further, so long as the employee is in a paid status at least half of the month, such unpaid leave shall not result in a loss of benefits or leave accruals.

19.2. Employees exceeding this amount of unpaid leave may be disciplined for excessive leave of absence. Excluded from discipline are absences certified as protected leave of absence under state or federal law or leave approved as a reasonable accommodation for a disability under state or federal law.

SECTION 20 TUITION REIMBURSEMENT PROGRAM
The Tuition Reimbursement allowance shall be $2,000.00 per fiscal year per employee. The program shall include reimbursement for seminars, conferences and other accredited courses that are job related and for course textbooks.

SECTION 21 WELLNESS PROGRAM

21.1. The Association and the City agree that employee health and fitness are important factors in maintaining an optimal work environment. In addition to the existing Employee Assistance Program, employees may receive passes to the Monterey Sports Center, valued at the current rates, and subject to rate increases, in order to implement their personal fitness programs. The Internal Revenue Service views the employee membership as taxable income.

21.2. Upon complying with membership requirements, employees shall receive annual, renewable and nontransferable employee-only passes to the Monterey Sports Center in order to implement their personal fitness programs.

21.3. Employees may apply the dollar value of the employee-only pass to the Monterey Sports Center towards the purchase of a family pass to this facility. The employee shall be responsible for the cost differential between the credit value of the employee-only pass and the family pass. During open enrollment, the employee shall be afforded the opportunity to make an election to continue crediting the value of the employee-only pass towards the family pass which shall be irrevocable for the next twelve (12) months.

21.4. Employees electing to receive a family pass under this program shall have a payroll deduction for the cost of maintaining the family pass active from month to month based on the difference between the cost of the family pass and the employee-only pass. Upon separation from the City, the family pass shall be cancelled unless the separated employee elects to maintain the pass under the same conditions available to the general public.

21.5. New hires can enroll in the Fitness Program upon hire, and then during open enrollment Exhibit A
Council Regular Meeting, 6/18/2024, Item No. 10., Item Page 18, Packet Page 75 MEMEA MOU July 1, 2024 – June 30, 2027 Page 15 of 17
thereafter. Employees can cancel enrollment in the Fitness Program during open enrollment.

SECTION 22 FITNESS ACTIVITY PLAN

22.1. All members will be eligible to participate in a Fitness Plan where they workout off-duty (not considered work time for purposes of Workers’ Compensation injury or illness) in exchange for leave time accrued in a fitness bank.

22.2. Conditions for Qualifying

22.2.1. Employees are required to work out a minimum of 1170 minutes per quarter in order to accrue ten (10) hours of leave. A session is considered to be any moderate or higher intensity physical activity lasting a minimum of fifteen (15) minutes. Participants will sign a form demonstrating completion of each workout, which is based on the honor system. At the end of each quarter the form will be turned into the employee’s department for verification and the ten (10) hours of leave will be credited to the exercise incentive time bank as soon as practical and will be available for immediate use by the employee.

22.2.2. Each calendar year a maximum of forty (40) hours can be accrued in a separate exercise incentive time bank, with a maximum of eighty (80) hours allowed in the bank. The exercise incentive time bank has no cash value and the time accrued in this bank has no expiration date.

22.2.3. Leave time must be coordinated and approved in advance by the employee’s supervisor.

22.2.4. Participation is voluntary and for those electing to participate, an annual physical fitness assessment at the Monterey Sports Center, which can be used as a thirty (30)-minute workout session, is encouraged. Individual results of the physical fitness assessment will be confidential between the Monterey Sports Center and the employee.

22.2.5. Submitting a Fitness Plan Waiver form to Human Resources is required to participate in this program.

SECTION 23 CALL-BACK VEHICLES
The Fire Chief and Police Chief will each be provided with a vehicle for emergency response during off-duty time.

SECTION 24 UNIFORM ALLOWANCE
The City will contribute the following monthly uniform allowance for the following sworn members:

Fire Chief: $90.00

SECTION 26 SEVERANCE REOPENER
Should the City Charter be amended during the term of this Agreement to reflect that employees covered by this Agreement are “at will” employees subject to termination without cause or appeal rights, then the parties will reopen the contract to discuss severance and release terms.

This Agreement is subject to all current and future applicable federal and state laws and regulations.

28.5. Nothing herein shall limit the authority of the City to make necessary and reasonable changes during emergencies. Emergency shall mean the actual or threatened existence of conditions of disaster or of extreme peril to the safety of persons and property within the City caused by such conditions as air pollution, fire, flood, storm, epidemic, riot or earthquake, or other conditions, including conditions resulting from war or imminent threat of war. However, the City shall notify the Association of such changes as soon as practicable. Such emergency assignments shall not extend beyond the period of the emergency.

Provide sufficient resources and support to develop, retain, and recruit a high-quality city workforce.

POLICY IMPLICATIONS:

The Assistant City Manager, Finance Director, and Human Resources Director are all unrepresented and confidential employees.

the environment, or because it falls within a category of activities excluded as projects pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378, this matter is not a project. Because the matter does not cause a direct or any reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change on or in the environment, this matter is not a project. Any subsequent discretionary projects resulting from this action will be assessed for CEQA applicability.

to CEQA Guidelines section 15378, this matter is not a project. Because the matter does not cause a direct or any reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change on or in the environment, this matter is not a project. Any subsequent discretionary projects resulting from this action will be assessed for CEQA applicability.

ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED:

The Council could take no action or could make alternate appointments.

DISCUSSION:

Background
In late 2019 the Council adopted an ordinance instituting changes for all boards, commissions, and committees, including four-year terms ending in June which replaced the previous staggered two-year terms for most bodies. The first group of four-year terms is now due to come to an end on June 30, 2024.

Existing vacancies and the positions with upcoming term ends were duly advertised by the City Clerk’s Office pursuant to the California Maddy Act and the Council’s appointments policy, seeking qualified applications from Monterey residents, with priority review for those applications received by noon on Friday, May 3, 2024. During the recruitment a vacancy opened for the Monterey Vista neighborhood alternate to the Neighborhood and Community Improvement Program Committee, and for that position only, priority review was received by those who applied before noon on Friday, May 17, 2024.

Recruitment and Applications Received
The number of seats to be filled amounts to 47, consisting of 10 vacancies and 37 positions with terms ending. A recruitment this size is believed to be unprecedented in the City of Monterey.

The City Clerk pursued many avenues to spread the news and solicit applications:
 Current members with expiring terms were contacted with information and an invitation to reapply for another term.
 A news release was issued to all local media.
 Outreach events were held at the Monterey Public Library on Saturday, April 27, 2024 and via Zoom on Monday, April 29, 2024. The event was promoted on the Monterey County Weekly community calendar and through email marketing. Four attendees participated in person, and five on Zoom.
 Print retail advertisements were placed in the Monterey Herald in the main news section, and in the Monterey County Weekly with a half-page ad.
 Public service announcements were sent to KRML, KAZU, and KMBY, and were confirmed to be played on KRML.
 City emails shared information on the recruitment to a few thousand individuals through the boards and commissions “interest list” and the City’s newsletters.  Posts were made on the City’s social media.
 The announcement was physically posted with a notice in the agenda case.  An informational flyer was posted at the Library, the Monterey Sports Center, and at businesses around town, courtesy of Copy King, Parker-Lusseau Pastries, Paris Bakery, Sur Burger, and Captain + Stoker.

Council Regular Meeting, 6/18/2024, Item No. 12., Item Page 2, Packet Page 84 №10/24
 The following organizations were sent the flyer and a request to share the opportunity with their memberships: Monterey Public Library Friends & Foundation; Monterey History and Art Association; Monterey County Historical Society; Monterey State Historic Park Association; Monterey Bay Teachers Association; Central Coast Builders Association; Professional Women’s Network of the Monterey Peninsula; Public Agency Clerks of the Tri-County Area (PACT); and the local chapters of: American Institute of Architects, California Faculty Association, International Code Council, California Art Club, League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC), and National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP).

As a result of the recruitment, a total of 62 applications were received. Qualified applications were received from the applicants listed in Attachment 1. The 29 applicants who were not already sitting members of Monterey’s boards, commissions, and committees indicated that they had first heard of this opportunity from the following sources:

Qualifications and Policy Considerations
The City Clerk’s Office confirmed applicants’ residency requirements using the GIS assessment database. Special eligibility requirements were reviewed and confirmed by designated City staff pursuant to City Code requirements.

The Council’s Governance Policy (Resolution No. 23-131 C.S.) calls for the Mayor to be provided with all applications and factual reports to assist in evaluation of the applicants, and to interview applicants and formulate recommendations based on each applicant’s interests and skills, Councilmember district representation, and the specific needs of the body at the time of Council Regular Meeting, 6/18/2024, Item No. 12., Item Page 3, Packet Page 85 №10/24
appointment. The Policy then encourages the full Council to consider Councilmember district representation in making the appointments.

Accordingly, the Council district in which each applicant resides, and each current member’s meeting attendance history, were provided to Mayor Williamson and are listed in the applicant grid (Attachment 1). For comparison, the district composition of each board, commission, and committee was also provided (Attachment 2).

Interviews and Recommendations
Mayor Williamson spent many hours reviewing the applications and conducting interviews with applicants in accordance with Council policy, giving appropriate attention and time to the process that resulted in the following recommendations. He is grateful that so many residents applied.

Mayor Williamson recommends that the Council make appointments as follows, with each term ending June 30, 2028:

As a husband of a young family settling in Old Town last year and embracing the community by land and by sea, I became interested in contributing to our neighborhood by engaging with local government. When a family member noticed the Old Town vacancy on the NCIP and recommended it, I thought I could be a good candidate. Here are some things about me:
* Graduated from York School in 2007 and returned to Monterey after 15 years to raise a family with my wife, so our kids can grow up close to their grandparents - we have a one year old daughter, Scarlett.
* B.S. Computer Science, College of Creative Studies at University of California Santa Barbara (2012)
* Software engineer specializing in team management in the emergency medical transportation field (current occupation)
* 10+ years experience building nautical communities and teaching sailing in San Diego, Santa Barbara, and San Francisco
* Skilled problem solver with a natural ability to unite community members, facilitating solutions and compromises that advance complex projects
Thank you for your consideration!

I have over 20 years of experience as a Consultant and Lean Six Sigma leader, Storyteller, and master educator, Six Sigma Black Belt with certifications in Laser Coaching, Extreme Leadership, DEI Leadership, DEI Strategies, and Leadership Development. But, my why and sole purpose for applying for the Museums and Cultural Arts Commission is because I am also an artist and writer who is committed to using my artistic and professional skills and expertise to bring diverse community members together to celebrate our connectedness. Nothing is more uniting than art and I would love to be a part of the commission that brings great art and cultural experiences to Monterey.

I am currently on the Board of Governors for Mills College Alumni Association, a board member for Black Leaders and Allies Collaborative, as well as a board member of YOU Life Skills and Leadership Educational Foundation. I believe in being an active member of the community and am usually available to volunteer for various events.

I'm motivated to continue in Dave Overton's shoes representing my great neighborhood and in doing-so, give back to this great city. Too many military members come and the leave Monterey. I wish to participate in the Neighborhood and Community Program Committee and provide a fresh perspective. I earned my Bachelor's degree from the U.S. Naval Academy in Computer Science and I have a Master's degree in Operations Research (think Advanced Data Science) from the Naval Postgraduate School. My wife and I have two young boys, ages 3 and 4.5 and we enjoy our beautiful beaches and parks, swimming at the Sports Center, wine tasting, music, and golf.

Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or require any additional information.

DocuSign Envelope ID: 7597E3FF-A6AD-4219-9825-BC79F8C0EBFA Throughout the 27 years I’ve been working in the field of public education, my singular goal has been to serve children and their families. I now find myself wanting to expand my repertoire of service to the greater Monterey community. I find the work of the Parks and Recreation Commission to be a natural extension of my life-long career in public education. The programs and facilities of Parks and Recreation provide opportunities for children and their families to learn, play, engage with... and to enjoy many of the natural resources and public spaces that are available in our community. What excites me most about the prospect of working with Parks and Recreation is the holistic benefit to children and their families when they have access to all of the rich culture, history, and geography Monterey has to offer.

The skills and experience I will bring to the role are rich and diverse. However, none are greater than my ability to communicate and work productively with others. I place a high value on listening and ensuring others feel heard, as well as encouraging inquiry and discourse. I believe my verbal skills are particularly well-suited for community outreach opportunities. My experience and formal training in communication serves me in connecting with a variety of audiences. Whether meeting with one person or hundreds, I'm able to calibrate and effectively convey any messaging enthusiastically.

My rich career experience, broad skill set, and decades-long passion to serve, make me well-suited for a position with Parks and Recreation Commission.

Programs, such as the Colton Hall Music Concerts, Utility box art program and the art exhibits by local artists in the Conference Center gallery all serve to showcase local talent for the enjoyment of both residents and visitors.

I also would like to remain on the Commission to help institute and guide the introduction of technology in to our museums. Museums today can use technology to enhance and expand the museum experience regardless of the museum theme.

I also would like to continue on the Commission as we are working on plans to expand the Path of History in an effort to include more of the history of ethnic and minority groups and their contributions to Monterey's social and economic growth over the years.

I have lived in Monterey for 40+ years and participated in the New Monterey Neighborhood Association as treasurer and president (at different times). I served on AMP's Board for a number of years and provided technical support for a series of TV programs on AMP about topics on Council and Planning Commission agendas over the years before the Council was streamed live.

I have BS in Engineering from Cal Poly and BA from Occidental College. I taught engineering and mathematics for 20+ years and was a publisher of software for engineering;and mathematics for another 20 years.

City of Monterey
Dear Mayor,
I am writing to express my interest in serving as a representative Member on the Neighborhood and Community Improvement Committee of the City of Monterey. This unique program provides a way for community members to connect directly with the City and it has been an honor to serve as a Member in the past.

With my expansive experience in financial management, including planning and forecasting, budgeting and auditing, I believe I would be a great fit for this role.

As an auditor I worked with the City of Monterey, the City of Seaside, the Marina Coast Water District, the Alisal Union School District and the Pacific Grove Unified School District (to name a few), applying governmental accounting practices, auditing regulation and grant compliance, and compiling financials.

As a Treasurer for a small school district, I have overseen annual budgeting and financial reporting while guiding the district to a $2M+ surplus which has secured the viability of the schools.

As a member of the Neighborhood and Community Improvement committee I have work to impartially represent the interests of all of the residents of my neighborhood and the City. I have also often acted as a connector between neighbors and the services of the City, helping to make the City government more accessible for residents. As a member of the NCIP committee, including serving as Vice-Chair, I have sought always to find a balance that provides funding for the residents’ and the City’s needs, with an understanding of the importance of safety, maintenance and infrastructure.

I am excited to use these skills to continue working with the City’s team. Hopefully my proven track record shows my ability to service the City of Monterey and the community in good faith. I appreciate your consideration for the Neighborhood and Community Improvement Committee Member role. You can reach me by phone or email at the contact information listed above. I look forward to hearing from you to discuss my qualifications and the role in more detail.

Thank you for your consideration,
Jayme Fields

I have been awarded a contract for on-call landscape architecture services for the City. In real terms this means working with the Alvarado Street Maintenance District to keep Alvarado Street well planted, furnished and maintained. Our Main Street can and should serve as an attractive pedestrian link between the Monterey Conference Center and the rehabilitated Cooper Molera historic site.

I am fully committed to the development of the City, and to assuring quality decisions on land use and new building; open space, parking and circulation; and issues in review by the Commission such as affordable housing programs, cell phone towers and water delivery systems. I have good experience in City staff interface, appreciating their expertise in presenting projects and programs in our public hearings. I am completely solutions-based and look forward to investing my ability and energy into improving our community.

Thank you for considering me for another term as Planning Commissioner, I would be honored to serve.

Sincerely, Sandy Freeman

I have 23 years experience as an attorney, arbitrator and mediator. I also worked as a hearing officer for San Mateo County for dangerous dog designartions.

As for the disability board, 6 years ago I was given an antibiotic that caused ototoxicity which destroyed the portion of the inner ear that assists with ballance. Because of this I have to be cautious with walking and am now very conscious of the adequacy or inadequacy of handicapped access.

Please see my attached CV for a better view of my employment history and skills.
