Dear Mayor, Vice Mayor, and Councilmembers,
I am eager to get involved in the community and excited about the opportunities on the National City Board of Library Trustees and the Public Art Committee. I lived in several towns during my childhood and always relied on the local libraries as a source for educational development and entertainment. Roaming the stacks is still a hobby of mine. The library is one of the most vital public institutions, providing members of the public access to books and opportunities to develop professional skills. It is additionally a hub for public engagement, including National City’s Senior Social Hours. It would be a privilege to serve on the Board of Library Trustees to continue the great work of the library.
Art—especially in public settings—can inspire members of the community and raise their aspirations. It also enhances daily commutes to work, school, and stores. It would be a privilege to serve on the Public Art Committee and advocate for more projects, including working with local commercial businesses to have murals painted on their buildings, partnering with owners of vacant retail properties on business strips to host public art shows, setting a goal to establish public art installations within a few blocks of every home, and creating more opportunities for residents to take part in the art.
I am happy to provide additional information. Thank you for your service and consideration. I look forward to hearing from you.
Best regards,
Jake Zindulka

CITY OF NATIONAL CITY
AMENDED: November 16, 2021
ADOPTED: June 17, 1986
POLICY # 107
TITLE: Appointments to Boards, Commission and Committees vote of the City Council. A majority vote of the City Council will be required for the appointment. If the majority of the City Council choose to deny the proposed appointment, the Mayor shall either propose an alternative candidate from the current application pool or choose to reopen the application period and return to the City Council at a future City Council Meeting with a different applicant for consideration. If a Mayoral Appointment is not approved by the majority of the City Council by confirmation, that applicant is removed from the pool for that seat. The Mayor will return to a future meeting with a substitute Mayoral appointment.
8. For City Council Appointments, the Interview Process is as follows:
a. The City Clerk will provide an overview of the Board, Commission, or Committee(s) with current vacancy (ies). The Mayor will introduce the applicant and two (2) questions will be asked of each applicant on behalf of the City Council.
b. Each applicant is given two (2) minutes to make a brief introduction of themselves and their qualifications to the City Council.
c. Mayor and City Councilmembers will ask questions of each applicant. All applicants must be asked the same questions.
d. Total time per applicant is five (5) timed minutes with time allowed for clarification at the discretion of the City Council, not to exceed ten (10) minutes total per applicant.
e. All appointments and interviews before the City Council will be scheduled as needed to fill unexpected vacancies, with every effort to be made before an individual's term expires. Interviews may take place at one meeting, with appointments made at a subsequent meeting.
9. Vacancies for City Council Appointed Positions. If the vacancy is for a City Council appointed position, and there is more than one (1) applicant for a given position, the voting process will proceed as follows: Once the interviews are complete, each Councilmember votes for their choice via a written ballot provided by the City Clerk.
Each Councilmember shall print and sign their name
on the ballot. All ballots shall be considered a public record and be open to inspection by the public. The ballots are passed to the City Clerk who announces the number of votes for each candidate.

POLICY # 107
TITLE: Appointments to Boards, Commission and Committees If the appointment process is conducted via a virtual meeting the process is the same except the ballot/vote process. The City Clerk’s Office will provide a Vote Sheet (a piece of paper electronically) with the name of each applicant to be considered. Th e Mayor will count to three (3) and the Council will hold their vote sheet up in front of their face to make sure it is captured on the camera during the live virtual meeting. The City Clerk will tally the votes and will then confirm the votes with a verb al roll call. The applicant with the most votes is appointed.
In the event of a tie, each Councilmember votes again until one (1) candidate has the majority vote and is declared to be the newly–appointed member of the Board, Commission, or Committee.
10. Re-appointment beyond two terms. Anyone wishing to be re-appointed to any Board, Commission, or Committee and has served two or more full terms already must be approved by a four -fifths vote of the City Council. If all five members of the City Council are not present, or if one member abstains or recuses their vote, the four- fifths requirement shall be changed to require only a simple majority.
11. Report to Council:
All applications received for vacancies , whether Mayoral Appointment or City Council Appointment, will be attached to the staff report to Council. All applications will have private personal information redacted (name, street numbers and name of street address, and phone number). This redacted information is in alignment with Government Code Section 6255(a) because the public interest served by not disclosing the applicant’s personal, private information and protection of the applicant’s right to privacy outweighs the public interest served by disclosi ng that information.
12. An automatic vacancy upon becoming a Non- Resident. An unscheduled vacancy automatically occurs when a resident holding an appointment position on a City Board, Committee, or Commission becomes a non-resident by moving out of National City limits. When an unscheduled vacancy occurs due to a resident becoming a non-resident, the unscheduled vacancy may be filled as follows:
a. A special vacancy notice shall be posted in the Office of the City Clerk, and in other places as directed by the City Council, not earlier than 20 days before or not later than 20 days after the vacancy occurs. Final Appointment at a City Council Meeting shall not be made by the Appointing Authority for at least 10 working days after the posting of the notice in the City Clerk’s Office.

b. The Appointing Authority may appoint the former resident to a Non - Residential position if a Non-Residential position is vacant.
However, the Appointing Authority may, if it finds that an emergency exist s, fill the unscheduled vacancy immediately. A person appointed to fill the vacancy shall serve only on an acting basis until the final appointment is made pursuant to this section.
13. Only City Residents may be elected to Chair and Vice- Chair positions. To be eligible to be elected as the Chairperson of a City Board, Committee , or Commission, the member must be a resident of the City.

If a Commissioner or Member of a Board, Committee, or Commission is unable to continue serving because of health, business requirements, or personal reasons, a letter of resignation shall be submitted to the City Clerk, who will present to the City Council.

Excused Absences:

CITY OF NATIONAL CITY
AMENDED: November 16, 2021
ADOPTED: June 17, 1986
POLICY # 107
TITLE: Appointments to Boards, Commission and Committees vote of the City Council. A majority vote of the City Council will be required for the appointment. If the majority of the City Council choose to deny the proposed appointment, the Mayor shall either propose an alternative candidate from the current application pool or choose to reopen the application period and return to the City Council at a future City Council Meeting with a different applicant for consideration. If a Mayoral Appointment is not approved by the majority of the City Council by confirmation, that applicant is removed from the pool for that seat. The Mayor will return to a future meeting with a substitute Mayoral appointment.
8. For City Council Appointments, the Interview Process is as follows:
a. The City Clerk will provide an overview of the Board, Commission, or Committee(s) with current vacancy (ies). The Mayor will introduce the applicant and two (2) questions will be asked of each applicant on behalf of the City Council.
b. Each applicant is given two (2) minutes to make a brief introduction of themselves and their qualifications to the City Council.
c. Mayor and City Councilmembers will ask questions of each applicant. All applicants must be asked the same questions.
d. Total time per applicant is five (5) timed minutes with time allowed for clarification at the discretion of the City Council, not to exceed ten (10) minutes total per applicant.
e. All appointments and interviews before the City Council will be scheduled as needed to fill unexpected vacancies, with every effort to be made before an individual's term expires. Interviews may take place at one meeting, with appointments made at a subsequent meeting.
9. Vacancies for City Council Appointed Positions.

Each Councilmember shall print and sign their name
on the ballot. All ballots shall be considered a public record and be open to inspection by the public. The ballots are passed to the City Clerk who announces the number of votes for each candidate.

POLICY # 107
TITLE: Appointments to Boards, Commission and Committees If the appointment process is conducted via a virtual meeting the process is the same except the ballot/vote process. The City Clerk’s Office will provide a Vote Sheet (a piece of paper electronically) with the name of each applicant to be considered. Th e Mayor will count to three (3) and the Council will hold their vote sheet up in front of their face to make sure it is captured on the camera during the live virtual meeting. The City Clerk will tally the votes and will then confirm the votes with a verb al roll call. The applicant with the most votes is appointed.
In the event of a tie, each Councilmember votes again until one (1) candidate has the majority vote and is declared to be the newly–appointed member of the Board, Commission, or Committee.
10. Re-appointment beyond two terms. Anyone wishing to be re-appointed to any Board, Commission, or Committee and has served two or more full terms already must be approved by a four -fifths vote of the City Council. If all five members of the City Council are not present, or if one member abstains or recuses their vote, the four- fifths requirement shall be changed to require only a simple majority.
11. Report to Council:
All applications received for vacancies , whether Mayoral Appointment or City Council Appointment, will be attached to the staff report to Council. All applications will have private personal information redacted (name, street numbers and name of street address, and phone number). This redacted information is in alignment with Government Code Section 6255(a) because the public interest served by not disclosing the applicant’s personal, private information and protection of the applicant’s right to privacy outweighs the public interest served by disclosi ng that information.
12. An automatic vacancy upon becoming a Non- Resident. An unscheduled vacancy automatically occurs when a resident holding an appointment position on a City Board, Committee, or Commission becomes a non-resident by moving out of National City limits. When an unscheduled vacancy occurs due to a resident becoming a non-resident, the unscheduled vacancy may be filled as follows:
a. A special vacancy notice shall be posted in the Office of the City Clerk, and in other places as directed by the City Council, not earlier than 20 days before or not later than 20 days after the vacancy occurs. Final Appointment at a City Council Meeting shall not be made by the Appointing Authority for at least 10 working days after the posting of the notice in the City Clerk’s Office.

AGENDA REPORT
Department: Administrative Services - Human Resources Prepared by: Molly Brennan, Administrative Services Director Meeting Date: Tuesday, April 18, 2023
Approved by: Brad Raulston, City Manager
SUBJECT:
Approval of Agreement with Professional Search Group, LLC for Temporary Personnel Services.
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the Resolution of the City Council of the City of National City, California , Authorizing the Mayor to Execute a Professional S ervice Agreement between the City of National City and Professional Search Group, LLC to provide Temporary Staffing Services.
BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE PRIOR ACTION:
Not Applicable.
EXPLANATION:
On March 21, 2022, t his item originally presented for City Council consideration, a nd then consequently pulled from the Consent Calendar for discussion , has returned per City Council direction. Following the discussion and by unanimous vote of the Council, the item was continued to this meeting. During that meeting and discussion, City Councilmembers addressed staff with questions and comments. Response to those queries can be found in this report.
Professional Search Group (PSG) has been providing the City with temporary staffing services since 2019. Specifically, they find temporary personnel to fill vacant administrative and internal service positions (HR, Finance) as requested. The temporary personnel are PSG employees who work at the City to backfill vacancies that are pending a recruitment for a permanent hire or to backfill long-term leaves of permanent employees. Using temporary staffing reduces burnout of City staff and maintains services levels for our residents.
Professional Search Group
Payment History
FY23 $119,576.87
FY22 $293,910.69
FY21 $164,346.56
FY20 $107,538.45
FY19 $5,723.82
The payment history with PSG by fiscal year in the table above does show this contract should have come to City Council for award sooner. This was an unintentional oversight . As stated by staff during the item’s discussion on March 21 , 2023, each department processes payment for temporary personnel from their respective departmental budgets. Because of this segregated billing system, there was no oversight on the contract as a whole for the cumulative expenses. In spring of 2022, due the increase in vacancies and subsequent increase i n the use of temporary
workers, staff did realize this contract had exceeded the City Manager’s signing authority and the HR Director was tasked with preparing a contract for City Council. Unfortunately, due to prior HR Directors lack of action, and immediate departure from employment with the City in June of 2022, this task was displaced.
In July of 2022, staff once again worked with the vendor to negotiate a new contract and forwarded the contract to the City Attorney’s Office at the beginning of August for review. Procedure in processing agreements requires a legal review prior to Council action. The City Attorney’s Office provided a response to the request in February 2023 and then the item initially presented at the March 21, 2023, Regular City Council Meeting.
Since March 21st the City has been unable to backfill positions with PSG temporary workers since we do not currently have an approved contract with the vendor . The following is a list of the positions that were recently backfilled with PSG temporary staff and the justification:
Police Operations Assistant – permanent employee on long-term leave Senior Office Assistant – vacancy
Administrative Secretary – vacancy
Housing Assistant – vacancy
Although we have filled these specific vacancies with permanent City employees and have no PSG temps working for the City currently, there is the chance that at any time a current employee could give two-weeks’ notice, or could go out on an unanticipated long -term leave of absence .
As a result, this could create a new vacancy or the need to hire temporary staffing to backfill the position until a permeant hire replacement processed.
The City does use one other temporary staffing agency, Hamlyn Williams, which is within the City Managers authority to hire and sign an agreement. However, Hamlyn Williams specializes in Finance and IT placements only, therefore, not utilized as often as PSG.
The City’s Civil Service Rules dictate the City’s recruiting and hiring process. Hiring permanent full-time employees typically takes 3-4 months, or potentially longer if a police level background check is necessary for the position. Expanding the size of the HR staff will not reduce this timeline.
Once a job is posted it is open to applicants for 2-6 weeks Applicants are screened, and are given a week appeal period per Civil Service rules Departments with open positions receive the eligibility list Departments schedule and conduct interviews
Conditional offers are negotiated
Background checks are completed
Fit for duty exams are completed
Candidates give notice to their current employers
Onboard as new employees at National City
There is no way around the fact that all of these steps take time.
The rules do allow for provisional appointments, or temporary appointments, however, per the Civil Service Rules; even these temporary hires must meet the minimum qualifications of the vacant position. Therefore, the City would still be required to open a job posting to receive applications for temporary hires to find potential candidates, and then screen them to confirm they meet the position ’s minimum qualifications . The process for hiring t emporary workers directly would look very similar to a permanent recruitment, the process would take a significant amount of time, and the vacancy would remain unfilled for a few months, negating the purpose of using
temporary workers and potentially extending further providing HR staff time and capacity to recruit for the permanent hire.
Our Civil Service Rules do not allow us the flexibility to be a nimble hiring organization. Other agencies of our size use professional service vendors, like PSG, to provide temporary personnel services for these reasons, such as Chula Vista and La Mesa. Only very large public agencies, like the City of San Diego or County of San Diego, operate their own internal temporary worker pools. The large agencies are able to operate their own temporary worker pools because there is always a vacancy in the workforce due to their size . Even then, the County supplements their internal temporary worker pool with an outside professional service vendor for tempo rary personnel services.
For the reasons discussed above, staff recommends continuing to use temporary staffing services with professional services vendors as a resource to temporarily backfill our vacant positions.
As a professional service vendor, there is no requirement and is not subjected to the formal bid process. The agreement with PSG is for a not-to-exceed amount of $275,000 per year. Like the on-call agreements the City has with other professional service vendors, payment is only due to the vendor when the City requests a temporary staffing placement. Prior to each PSG placement, the City and PSG agree upon an acceptable hourly rate for said services depending on the type of position.
FINANCIAL STATEMENT:
None. When used to backfill vacancies, temporary staffing service costs are offset by personnel service budget savings. If a department asks for temporary staffing services, they would need to demonstrate it is budget neutral or ask City Council for the budget allocation necessary through a future Council action.

AGENDA REPORT
Department: Administrative Services - Human Resources Prepared by: Molly Brennan, Administrative Services Director Meeting Date: Tuesday, April 18, 2023
Approved by: Brad Raulston, City Manager
SUBJECT:
Approval of Creation of O ne (1) New Job Classification titled Crime & Intelligence Analyst and Amending the MEA Salary Schedule.”
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the Resolution entitled, “Resolution of the City Council of the City of National City, California, Creating one (1) New Job Classification and Amending the Municipal Employees’ Association Salary Schedule.”
BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE PRIOR ACTION:
On March 8 , 2023 the National City Civil Service Commission approved the new Crime & Intelligence Analyst job classification (Exhibit A).
EXPLANATION:
The Police Department requested the creation of a new classification to address the expanded needs of higher -level subject matter expertise and complex analysis and to support workforce sustainability. After a thorough job analysis of the roles and respons ibilities of the current employee serving in the Crime Analyst classification, HR staff agreed that a journey -level classification was necessary to reflect the higher-level duties of the position as currently executed.
The Civil Service Commission vo ted to approve the new Crime & Intelligence Analyst classification at their last meeting and the Municipal Employees’ Association supports the addition of the new classification to allow for a promotional opportunity within their membership.
Exhibit B is the proposed salary for the position. The first page of the exhibit shows the current Crime Analyst salary steps and the second page the proposed Crime & Intelligence Analyst Salary Steps. Through the rest of 2023, there would be a 9.4% difference between the two classifications and in January 2024, the Crime Analyst will get a 6.16% equity + COLA increase and the Crime & Intelligence Analyst will get a 3% COLA increase, bringing them to a 6.1% difference. While both positions will not be filled at the same tim e, for employees that are hired at the lower level classification and are promoted during their time working at the City, the MEA MOU requires promotions come with at least a 5% salary increase. Therefore, the wages should maintain at least 5% differential between these two classifications.
If approved, the current Crime Analyst will be promoted to the new Crime & Intelligence Analyst position the first full pay period after City Council approval.
FINANCIAL STATEMENT:
Staffing the Police Department with the higher level Crime & Intelligence Analyst will cost the General Fund approximately $9,000 per year more than the current staffing at the Crime Analyst level. No additional FY23 budget appropriations are necessary due to other vacancies within the Police Department providing cost savings that offset the additional cost for the remainder of the current fiscal year. If approved, moving forward the additional cost will be included in the FY24 proposed budget.

AGENDA REPORT
Department: Library and Community Services
Prepared by: Joyce Ryan, Library & Community Services Director Meeting Date: Tuesday, April 18, 2023
Approved by: Brad Raulston, City Manager
SUBJECT:
Authorize the Acceptance of the Parks Pass 2023 Library Program Grant.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the Resolution entitle d, “Resolution of the City Council of the City of National City, California, authorizing the City Manager or designee to accept the Parks Pass 2023 Program Grant in the Amount of $3 6,600 from the California State Library to fund Library Parks Pass programs and authorizing the establishment of a Library Grants fund appropriation of $36,600 and corresponding revenue budget.”
BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE PRIOR ACTION:
Approved by the Board of Library Trustees at the April 6, 2023 Special Meeting.
EXPLANATION:
The California State Library is awarding the National City Public Library $36,600 for the Parks Pass Program to provide six (6) excursions to local State Parks to promote the State of California Parks Pass Program. Each library in the State of California received State Parks Passes to enable patrons to enjoy California State Parks without having to pay admission. The passes are available through our library to check out for ten days at a time. In order to promote the program, the State Library created a grant program to enable libraries to provide excursions and encourage the use of our State Parks.
The Library Parks Pass Grant will fund six (6) excursions and explorer backpacks for participants to Torrey Pines and Old Town State Parks. These programs will highlight the variety of mental and physical benefits of being outdoors, and transportation to the locations will remove barrie rs to access. In addition, tour guides at the two locations will be able to engage patrons in English and Spanish and all promotional materials will be created in English and Spanish, as well.
The additional funding provided this year allows the Library to provide the excursions to students participating in our adult ESL and digital literacy classes. Our Library has a robust Literacy Program that offers ESL classes to assist learners with their English language skills, and computer technology classes to aid them in developing digital literacy. Many of our students have expressed interest in applying their skills in the exploration of San Diego County. Consequently, the grant funds will be used as a way to expand on the existing ESL and digital literacy curriculum, with the students creating the English language text and graphics for a brochure on the state park they visited.
This funding is the second round of Park Pass Grant funding. The National City Public Library received $4,375 from the State Library in August 2022 to provide two excursions to Tijuana Estuary State Park and Old Town State Park; both excursions were very popular.
FINANCIAL STATEMENT:
Adoption of the resolution will approve the acceptance of the State Library Parks Pass grant in the amount of $3 6,600 and will establish a Library Grants fund appropriation of $3 6,600 and corresponding revenue budget.

No delay or omission on the part of California State Library in exercising any rights shall operate as a waiver of such right or any other right. A waiver by California State Library of a provision of this Agreement shall not prejudice or constitute a waiver of California State Library’s right otherwise to demand strict compliance with that provision or any other provision of this Agreement. No prior waiver by California State Library, nor any course of dealing between California State Library and Grantee, shall constitute a waiver of any of California State Library’s rights or of any of grantee’s obligations as to any future transactions. Whenever the consent of California State Library is required under this Agreement, the granting of such consent by California State Library in any instance shall not constitute continuing consent to subsequent instances where such consent is required and in all cases such consent may be granted or withheld in the sole discretion of California State Library.
57. Work Products: Grantee shall provide California State Library with copies of all final products identified in the Work Plan and Application. Grantee shall also provide the State Library with copies of all public education and advertising material produced pursuant to this Agreement.

Prepared by: Tirza Gonzales, Management Analyst II
Meeting Date: Tuesday, April 18, 2023
Approved by: Brad Raulston, City Manager
SUBJECT:
Authorize the Purchase of a Riding Mower for Public Works Parks Division
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a Resolution entitled, “Resolution of the City Council of the City of National City, California, Authorizing Waiving the Formal Bid Process Pursuant to National City Municipal Code Section
2.60.260 regarding Cooperative Purchasing and A uthorizing the City to Piggyback onto Sourcewell Contract #031121 -TTC with Turf Star Western for the purchase one (1) Groundsmaster 3200 24HP 2WD Riding Mower in a Not-to-Exceed Amount of $28,000 for the Public Works Parks Divisi on and Authorizing the City Manager to A pprove Adjustments to the Not-to-Exceed Amount for the Purchase of up to $2,800 as a 10% Contingency for Unforeseen Fluctuations in Pricing.”
BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE PRIOR ACTION:
Not Applicable.
EXPLANATION:
Public Works Parks Division utilizes riding mowers for maintenance of parks and medians citywide. The current riding mower has been in service for ten (10) years and has exceeded its useful life of six (6) years and is scheduled to be replaced. Staff is requesting the approval of the purchase of one (1) Groundsmaster 3200 24HP 2WD Riding Mower in a not -to-exceed amount of $28,000, and authorization for the City Manager to approve adjustments to the not -to-exceed amount for the purchase of up to $2 ,800 as a 10% contingency for unforeseen fluctuations in pricing. Consistent with Section 2.60.260 of the National City Municipal Code (NCMC) regarding cooperative purchasing, there is an opportunity to piggyback onto the Sourcewell Contract #031121-TTC with Turf Star Western to allow for the purchase.
NCMC Section 2.60.260 provides authority to the purchasing agent to join with other public jurisdictions to take advantage of cooperative purchasing opportunities, including but not limited to any federal, state or local agency pricing program or structure that is determined by the purchasing agent to allow a procurement that is in the best interests of the City. The purchasing agent may buy directly from a vendor at a price established through competitive bidding b y another public agency whose procedures have been determined by the purchasing agent to be in substantial compliance with the City's procurement procedures, irrespective of the contracting limits of that jurisdiction or agency, even if the City had not initially joined with that public agency in the cooperative purchase.
National City’s Purchasing staff has confirmed that the Sourcewell Contract #031121 -TTC with Turf Star Western was competitively bid through a Request for Proposals (RFP) process, and that
the State of California Department of General Services procurement procedures are in substantial compliance with those of National City.
FINANCIAL STATEMENT:
Funding for this purchase in the amount of $35,000 was approved through adoption of the FY23 annual budget. No additional appropriations would be necessary should some portion of the contingency amount be necessary to complete the purchase of the riding mower. 644-416-227-511-0000: $28,000
