Engineer’s Report for Fiscal Year 2024-2025 1
Overview
On February 3, 1999, the City Council of the City of Norco, California, pursuant to the provisions of the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, Part 2 (commencing with Section 22500) of Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code (the “Act”) adopted its Resolution of the City Council of the City of Norco Initiating Proceedings for the Formation for a Maintenance Assessment District and thereafter formed Landscape Maintenance District No. 1 (Beazer).

This Report describes the District, the improvements, and the proposed assessments to be levied against properties in connection with the benefits the properties will receive from the maintenance and servicing of the District improvements for Fiscal Year 2024-2025. The annual assessments to be levied on properties within the District provide a funding source for the continued operation and maintenance of local landscaping improvements installed in connection with the development of properties within the District. Each fiscal year, the City establishes the District’s assessments based on an estimate of the costs to maintain, operate and service the landscaping improvements and based upon available revenues including fund balances and assessment limits. The costs of the improvements and the proposed annual assessments budgeted and assessed against properties within the District may include: the estimated expenditures for regular annual maintenance and repairs; incidental expenditures related to the operation and administration of the District and the collection of adequate funds for operational reserves or periodic expenditures including installments collected for long-term improvement projects. Each parcel is assessed proportionately for only those improvements, services, and expenses for which the parcel will receive special benefit.

The word “parcel,” for the purposes of this Report, refers to an individual property assigned its own Assessor’s Parcel Number (“APN”) by the Riverside County Assessor’s Office. The County Auditor/Controller uses Assessor’s Parcel Numbers and specific Fund Numbers to identify properties to be assessed on the tax roll for the special benefit assessments.

Description of Improvements and Services
The improvements are the operation, maintenance, and servicing of landscaping, wetlands, horse trails, hardscape masonry, and appurtenant facilities including but not limited to personnel, electrical energy, utilities such as water, materials, contracting services, and other items necessary for the satisfactory operation of these services, described as follows:

Landscaping, planting, shrubbery, trees, irrigation, hardscapes, masonry wall surfaces, fixtures, and appurtenant facilities in the River Road public right-of-way (parkway area), along the frontage and adjacent to the boundary of the Landscape Maintenance District. A reduced scale plan depicting the improvements is attached hereto. • Landscape maintenance includes all pruning, weed and pest control, fertilization, turf care, trash and debris cleanup, irrigation to include maintenance and repair, water cost, electrical cost for controllers, tree trimming up to 15 feet, tree staking, backflow testing, rodent control and plant replacements. • Hardscape Masonry includes graffiti removal, repair cracks, heaving and breakage.

2. Cost Estimate
City of Norco Landscape Maintenance District No. 1
Engineer’s Report for Fiscal Year 2024-2025 2
The estimated costs for the operation, maintenance and servicing of the facilities, shown below, are the estimated costs of maintenance if the facilities were fully maintained for Fiscal Year 2024-2025. The 1972 Act provides that the total cost of the maintenance and services, together with incidental expenses, may be financed from the assessment proceeds. The incidental expenses may include engineering fees, legal fees, printing, mailing, postage, publishing, and all other related costs identified with district proceedings.

The 1972 Act requires that a special fund be set up for the revenues and expenditures of the District. Funds raised by assessments shall be used only for the purposes as stated herein. A contribution to the District by the City may be made to reduce assessments, as the City Council deems appropriate. Any balance remaining on July 1 must be carried over to the next fiscal year. The estimated fund deficit for Fiscal Year ending June 30, 2025, is $841.60.

The cost of servicing, maintaining, repairing, and replacing the actual improvements as described in the Plans and Specifications are summarized below.

3. Method of Apportionment
City of Norco Landscape Maintenance District No. 1
Engineer’s Report for Fiscal Year 2024-2025 4
Proposition 218 Compliance
On November 5, 1996, California voters approved Proposition 218, entitled “Right to Vote on Taxes Act,” which added Article XIII D to the California Constitution. While its title refers only to taxes, Proposition 218 establishes new procedural requirements for the formation and administration of assessment districts. Proposition 218 also requires that with certain specified exceptions, which are described below, all existing assessment districts must be ratified by the property owners within the District using the new procedures.

Some of these exceptions include:

1. Any assessments imposed exclusively to finance the capital cost or maintenance and operation expenses for streets.

2. Any assessments levied pursuant to a petition signed by the persons owning all of the parcels subject to the assessment at the time the assessment was initially imposed.

However, even if assessments are initially exempt from Proposition 218, if the assessments are increased in the future, the City will need to comply with the provisions of Proposition 218 for that portion of the increased assessment formula (e.g., CPI increase).

Proposition 218 does not define the term “streets,” however, based on the opinions of the public agency officials, attorneys, assessment engineers and Senate Bill 919, it has been determined that streets include all public improvements located within the street rights-of-way. This would include median and parkway landscaping, traffic signals, safety lighting, and street lighting.

Proposition 218 defines “assessment” as “any levy or charge upon real property by an agency for a special benefit conferred upon the real property.” Cal. Const., art. XIII D, §2(b). A special assessment, sometimes called a “benefit assessment,” is a charge generally levied upon parcels of real property to pay for benefits the parcels receive from local improvements. Special assessments are levied according to statutory authority granted by the Legislature or, in some instances, local charters. Distinguishing among taxes, fees, and assessments can be difficult and often depends on the context in which the distinction is made. For example, taxes, assessments, and property-related fees all may be imposed on property. The key feature that distinguishes an assessment from a tax, fee, or charge is the existence of a special benefit to real property. Without identifying a special benefit, there can be no assessment.

Distinguishing General and Special Benefit
Proposition 218 added a set of procedures and requirements, which a local government must follow to levy an assessment. In addition to notice, hearing, and assessment ballot proceedings, Proposition 218 provides that “only special benefits are assessable” and requires a local government to “separate the general benefits from the special benefits conferred on a parcel.”
By its nature, most public improvements financed through an assessment district contain an element of public benefit. The test is: does there exist, with relation to the improvement, a special benefit to the property assessed? The law requires that the portion of the cost of the improvement which benefits the public generally to be separated from that portion of the cost of the improvement which specially benefits assessed properties.

Proposition 218 provides the following definition of “special benefit”:
“Special benefit” means a particular and distinct benefit over and above general benefits conferred on real property located in the district or to the public at large. General enhancement of property value does not constitute “special benefit”.

Below is the description of the Method of Apportionment and Special Benefit and the Assessment Roll summary for the Assessment District.

3. Method of Apportionment
City of Norco Landscape Maintenance District No. 1
Engineer’s Report for Fiscal Year 2024-2025 5
Improvements Authorized by the 1972 Act
As applicable or may be applicable to this proposed District, the 1972 Act defines improvements to mean one or any combination of the following:
• The installation or planting of landscaping.
• The installation or construction of statuary, fountains, and other ornamental structures and facilities. • The installation or construction of public lighting facilities. • The installation or construction of any facilities which are appurtenant to any of the foregoing or which are necessary or convenient for the maintenance or servicing thereof, including, but not limited to, grading, clearing, removal of debris, the installation or construction of curbs, gutters, walls, sidewalks, or paving, or water, irrigation, drainage, or electrical facilities. • The maintenance or servicing, or both, of any of the foregoing. • The acquisition of any existing improvement otherwise authorized pursuant to this section.

Incidental expenses associated with the improvements including, but not limited to:
• The cost of preparation of the report, including plans, specifications, estimates, diagram, and assessment; • The costs of printing, advertising, and the publishing, posting, and mailing of notices; • Compensation payable to the County for collection of assessments; • Compensation of any engineer or attorney employed to render services; • Any other expenses incidental to the construction, installation, or maintenance and servicing of the improvements;
• Any expenses incidental to the issuance of bonds or notes pursuant to Section 22662.5. • Costs associated with any elections held for the approval of a new or increased assessment.

The 1972 Act defines "Maintain" or "maintenance" to mean the furnishing of services and materials for the ordinary and usual maintenance, operation, and servicing of any improvement, including:
• Repair, removal, or replacement of all or any part of any improvement. • Providing for the life, growth, health, and beauty of landscaping, including cultivation, irrigation, trimming, spraying, fertilizing, or treating for disease or injury. • The removal of trimmings, rubbish, debris, and other solid waste. • The cleaning, sandblasting, and painting of walls and other improvements to remove or cover graffiti.

Method of Apportionment
The law requires and the statutes provide that assessments, as levied pursuant to the provisions of the “Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972,” must be based on the benefit that the properties receive from the works of improvement. The statute does not specify the method or formula that should be used in any special assessment district proceedings. The Assessment Engineer is appointed for the purpose of making an analysis of the facts and determining the correct apportionment of the assessment obligation. For these proceedings, the City has based its determination on standard assessment practices utilized by consulting civil engineers with a background of experience in the design of such works of improvement and experience in the completion of assessment district formation projects.

IDENTIFYING THE BENEFIT
It is necessary to identify the benefit that the public improvement will render to the properties within the District.

The landscaping, irrigation, and equestrian trails have been designed and will be constructed for the benefit of enhanced aesthetics and neighborhood identity for all properties within the District.

3. Method of Apportionment
City of Norco Landscape Maintenance District No. 1
Engineer’s Report for Fiscal Year 2024-2025 6

APPORTIONMENT OF COSTS
In further making the analysis, it is necessary that the property owners receive a special and direct benefit distinguished from that of the general public. In this case, several factors are being used in the final method and spread and assessment.

The individual parcels of land within the Assessment District are currently developed or have the potential for development to single-family residential units. The proposed improvements are designed to enhance the appearance and appeal of the District and all of the parcels within. The improvements will provide a sense of neighborhood identity for the District. As such, each parcel will benefit equally from the proposed improvements.

ASSESSMENT ADJUSTMENT
In 1999 the property owners approved, via ballot, the formation of the District and the levy of the annual assessments, including an annual increase of 5.00%. In no case may the increase exceed the actual cost of providing the services rendered within and pursuant to the District. The application of the 5.00% adjustment for Fiscal Year 2024-2025 will increase the maximum per parcel assessment from $182.15 to $191.25. The maximum assessment of $191.25 per parcel will be levied.

Landscaping, planting, shrubbery, trees, irrigation, hardscapes, masonry wall surfaces, fixtures, and appurtenant facilities located within public right-of-way (parkways) and easements (slope) are specifically excluded. Trails and publicly owned parcels park within the boundary of the Assessment District are to be maintained except as specifically excluded.
• Landscape maintenance on Hidden Valley Parkway and Norco Hills Road includes all pruning, weed and pest control, fertilization, turf care, trash and debris cleanup, irrigation to include maintenance and repair, water cost, electrical cost for controllers, tree trimming up to 15 feet, tree staking, backflow testing, rodent control and plant replacements.
• Slope Maintenance for exterior slopes along Hidden Valley Parkway includes all pruning, weed and pest control, fertilization, turf care, trash and debris cleanup, irrigation to include maintenance and repair, water cost, electrical cost for controllers, tree trimming up to 15 feet, tree staking, backflow testing, rodent control and plant replacements. Also included is fuel modification along Norco Hills Road.

Equestrian trails maintenance includes minor grading, replacement of wooden posts and rails, and addition of decomposed granite for trail surface. Also includes major storm sandbag contingency.

Wetland maintenance (Lot 71) includes trash and debris cleanup, plant replacement, pest and rodent control.

Park Maintenance (Lot 2) includes trash and debris cleanup, mowing, fertilization, turf care, pest and rodent control, and observation.

Capital Improvement Projects
Due to the failed Proposition 218 Ballot Measure in 2023 to increase funding in this District, the City will be removing the old playground equipment as it is past its useful lifespan. The playground equipment in its current state poses safety risks to residents who use it and is a potential liability for the City.

The City does not have any plans for any additional capital improvement projects in this District due to lack of funding.

2. Cost Estimate
City of Norco Landscape Maintenance District No. 2
Engineer’s Report for Fiscal Year 2024-2025 3
The estimated costs for the operation, maintenance and servicing of the facilities, shown below, are the estimated costs of maintenance if the facilities were fully maintained for Fiscal Year 2024-2025. The 1972 Act provides that the total cost of the maintenance and services, together with incidental expenses, may be financed from the assessment proceeds. The incidental expenses may include engineering fees, legal fees, printing, mailing, postage, publishing, and all other related costs identified with district proceedings.

The 1972 Act requires that a special fund be set up for the revenues and expenditures of the District. Funds raised by assessments shall be used only for the purpose as stated herein. The City may advance funds to the District, if needed, to ensure adequate cash flow, and will be reimbursed for any such advances upon receipt of assessments.

Any surplus or deficit remaining on July 1 must be carried over to the next fiscal year.

On November 15, 2023, the City held a Proposition 218 Ballot Measure to increase the maximum annual assessment rate from $835.00 to $969.00. The majority of the ballots received were not in favor of the increase and thus the measure failed. The assessment rates in LMD No. 2 have been outpaced by costs and the fund balances have been depleted. The District is in a service-level deficit. Due to the lack of funding, maintenance improvement projects, including trail fence replacement will no longer be implemented and the level of service may decrease.

The cost of servicing, maintaining, repairing, and replacing the actual improvements as described in the Plans and Specifications are summarized on the following page.

These improvements have finite life expectancies and will need to be replaced at some point in the future. On an annual basis, any non‐expended assessment monies, in excess of the Operating Reserve Contribution, will be transferred to the Capital Replacement Reserve fund until such time as there are sufficient monies to pay for these and/or other unforeseen improvement costs.

Proposition 218 Compliance
On November 5, 1996, California voters approved Proposition 218, entitled “Right to Vote on Taxes Act,” which added Article XIII D to the California Constitution. While its title refers only to taxes, Proposition 218 establishes new procedural requirements for the formation and administration of assessment districts. Proposition 218 also requires that with certain specified exceptions, which are described below, all existing assessment districts must be ratified by the property owners within the District using the new procedures.

Some of these exceptions include:

1. Any assessments imposed exclusively to finance the capital cost or maintenance and operation expenses for streets.

2. Any assessments levied pursuant to a petition signed by the persons owning all of the parcels subject to the assessment at the time the assessment was initially imposed.

Below is the description of the Method of Apportionment and Special Benefit and the Assessment Roll summary for the Assessment District.

Improvements Authorized by the 1972 Act
As applicable or may be applicable to this proposed District, the 1972 Act defines improvements to mean one or any combination of the following:
• The installation or planting of landscaping.
• The installation or construction of statuary, fountains, and other ornamental structures and facilities. • The installation or construction of public lighting facilities. • The installation or construction of any facilities which are appurtenant to any of the foregoing or which are necessary or convenient for the maintenance or servicing thereof, including, but not limited to, grading, clearing, removal of debris, the installation or construction of curbs, gutters, walls, sidewalks, or paving, or water, irrigation, drainage, or electrical facilities. • The maintenance or servicing, or both, of any of the foregoing. • The acquisition of any existing improvement otherwise authorized pursuant to this section.

The cleaning, sandblasting, and painting of walls and other improvements to remove or cover graffiti.

IDENTIFYING THE BENEFIT
It is necessary to identify the benefit that the public improvement will render to the properties within the Assessment District. The landscaping, irrigation, and equestrian trails have been designed and will be constructed for the benefit of enhanced aesthetics and neighborhood identity for all properties within the Assessment District.

3. Method of Apportionment
City of Norco Landscape Maintenance District No. 2
Engineer’s Report for Fiscal Year 2024-2025 7

ASSESSMENT ADJUSTMENT
The assessments may be increased annually for inflation, based on the Consumer Price Index – All Urban Consumers for the Los Angeles – Riverside-Orange County Area (CPI), as determined by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, or its successor. Should the Bureau of Labor Statistics revise such index or discontinue the preparation of such index, this Department shall use a revised index or comparable system for determining fluctuations in the cost of living, as approved by the City Council. The Maximum Assessment is defined as the initial Assessment (approved by property owners within the District) adjusted annually by the CPI. If the proposed annual assessment for a given Fiscal Year is less than or equal to the calculated Maximum Assessment, then the proposed annual assessment is not considered an increased assessment.

In January 2018, the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, discontinued the Los Angeles - Riverside - Orange County Consumer Price Index and created a new Riverside - San Bernardino – Ontario Consumer Price Index. This new index was used to escalate the Maximum Assessment Rate by 4.26% for Fiscal Year 2024-2025. The maximum per parcel assessment increased from $835.67 to $871.24. The maximum per parcel assessment of $871.24 will be levied.

City of Norco Landscape Maintenance District No. 3
Engineer’s Report for Fiscal Year 2024-2025 1
Overview
On October 20, 1999, the City Council of the City of Norco, California, pursuant to the provisions of the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, Part 2 (commencing with Section 22500) of Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code (the “Act”) adopted its Resolution of the City Council of the City of Norco Initiating Proceedings for the Formation for a Maintenance Assessment District and thereafter formed Landscape Maintenance District No. 3 (Western Pacific).

The word “parcel,” for the purposes of this Report, refers to an individual property assigned its own Assessor’s Parcel Number (“APN”) by the County Assessor’s Office. The Riverside County Auditor/Controller uses Assessor’s Parcel Numbers and specific Fund Numbers to identify properties to be assessed on the tax roll for the special benefit assessments.

Description of Improvements and Services
The improvements are the operation, maintenance, and servicing of landscaping, wetlands, horse trails, hardscaping, and masonry, and appurtenant facilities including but not limited to personnel, electrical energy, utilities such as water, materials, contracting services, and other items necessary for the satisfactory operation of these services, described as follows:

Equestrian trail maintenance includes minor grading, replacement of wooden posts and rails, and addition of decomposed granite for trail surface. Also includes major storm sandbag contingency.

Wetland maintenance (Lot 71) includes trash and debris cleanup, plant replacement, pest and rodent control.

City of Norco Landscape Maintenance District No. 3
Engineer’s Report for Fiscal Year 2024-2025 2
Park Maintenance (Lot 2) includes trash and debris cleanup, mowing, fertilization, turf care, pest and rodent control, and observation.

Capital Improvement Projects
Equestrian Trail Fence Replacement: The City is replacing the equestrian trail fencing from wood to vinyl over a 25 year period at $29,800 per year.

Due to the failed Proposition 218 Ballot Measure in 2023 to increase the annual assessment, the City does not have any plans for any additional capital improvement projects in this District due to lack of funding.

Page 229 of 495 ends

2. Cost Estimate
City of Norco Landscape Maintenance District No. 3
Engineer’s Report for Fiscal Year 2024-2025 3
The estimated costs for the operation, maintenance and servicing of the facilities, shown in Table 2-1, are the estimated costs of maintenance if the facilities were fully maintained for Fiscal Year 2024-2025. The 1972 Act provides that the total cost of the maintenance and services, together with incidental expenses, may be financed from the assessment proceeds. The incidental expenses may include engineering fees, legal fees, printing, mailing, postage, publishing, and all other related costs identified with district proceedings.

Any surplus or deficit remaining on July 1 must be carried over to the next fiscal year.

On November 15, 2023, the City held a Proposition 218 Ballot Measure to increase the maximum annual assessment rate from $1,251.63 to $1,489.00. The majority of the ballots received were not in favor of the increase and thus the measure failed. The assessment rates in LMD No. 3 have been outpaced by costs and the fund balances have been depleted. The District is in a service-level deficit. Due to the lack of funding, maintenance improvement projects, including trail fence replacement will no longer be implemented and the level of service may decrease.

The cost of servicing, maintaining, repairing, and replacing the actual improvements as described in the Plans and Specifications are summarized in Table 2-1.

Proposition 218 Compliance
On November 5, 1996, California voters approved Proposition 218, entitled “Right to Vote on Taxes Act,” which added Article XIII D to the California Constitution. While its title refers only to taxes, Proposition 218 establishes new procedural requirements for the formation and administration of assessment districts. Proposition 218 also requires that with certain specified exceptions, which are described below, all existing assessment districts must be ratified by the property owners within the District using the new procedures.

Some of these exceptions include:

1. Any assessments imposed exclusively to finance the capital cost or maintenance and operation expenses for streets.

2. Any assessments levied pursuant to a petition signed by the persons owning all of the parcels subject to the assessment at the time the assessment was initially imposed.

Below is the description of the Method of Apportionment and Special Benefit and the Assessment Roll summary for the Assessment District.

In January 2018, the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, discontinued the Los Angeles - Riverside - Orange County Consumer Price Index and created a new Riverside - San Bernardino – Ontario Consumer Price Index. This new index was used to escalate the Maximum Assessment Rate by 4.26% for Fiscal Year 2024-2025. The maximum per parcel assessment increased from $1,251.63 to $1,304.91. The maximum per parcel assessment of $1,304.91 will be levied.

Proposition 218 Compliance
On November 5, 1996, California voters approved Proposition 218, entitled “Right to Vote on Taxes Act,” which added Article XIII D to the California Constitution. While its title refers only to taxes, Proposition 218 establishes new procedural requirements for the formation and administration of assessment districts. Proposition 218 also requires that with certain specified exceptions, which are described below, all existing assessment districts must be ratified by the property owners within the District using the new procedures.

Some of these exceptions include:

1. Any assessments imposed exclusively to finance the capital cost or maintenance and operation expenses for streets.

2. Any assessments levied pursuant to a petition signed by the persons owning all of the parcels subject to the assessment at the time the assessment was initially imposed.

Below is the description of the Method of Apportionment and Special Benefit and the Assessment Roll summary for the Assessment District.

EQUIVALENT BENEFIT UNITS:

To proportionally and equitably assess the special benefits to each parcel, it is necessary to correlate each property’s proportional benefit to other properties that benefit from the improvements and services being funded. The Equivalent Benefit Unit (EBU) method of apportionment uses a basic unit (base value) of assessment that is common to all properties benefiting from the improvements and services provided and assigns a weighted value to each parcel based on an assessment formula that equates the property’s specific development status, type of development (land use), and size of the property, as compared to the base value.

Single Family Residential — This land use is defined as a fully subdivided residential home site with or without a structure. This land use is assigned 1.0 EBU per lot or parcel.

Each parcel within Tract Nos. 29588, -2, -3, -4, -5 and Tract Nos. 29589-1, -2, -3 benefit equally from the improvements and have been assigned 1.0 EBU. The parcels within Tract No. 29588-1 receive only the benefit of the trail maintenance and therefore have been assigned 0.22 EBUs.

In January 2018, the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, discontinued the Los Angeles - Riverside - Orange County Consumer Price Index and created a new Riverside - San Bernardino – Ontario Consumer Price Index. This new index was used to escalate the Maximum Assessment Rate by 4.26% for Fiscal Year 2024-2025. The maximum assessment per EBU increased from $1,330.66 to $1,387.31.

Proposition 218 Compliance
On November 5, 1996, California voters approved Proposition 218, entitled “Right to Vote on Taxes Act,” which added Article XIII D to the California Constitution. While its title refers only to taxes, Proposition 218 establishes new procedural requirements for the formation and administration of assessment districts. Proposition 218 also requires that with certain specified exceptions, which are described below, all existing assessment districts must be ratified by the property owners within the District using the new procedures.

Some of these exceptions include:

1. Any assessments imposed exclusively to finance the capital cost or maintenance and operation expenses for streets.

2. Any assessments levied pursuant to a petition signed by the persons owning all of the parcels subject to the assessment at the time the assessment was initially imposed.

Below is the description of the Method of Apportionment and Special Benefit and the Assessment Roll summary for the Assessment District.

STAFF REPORT
Date: May 15, 2024 Agenda Item:

3.H.

To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Lori Sassoon, City Manager
Prepared By: Jessica Hall, Sheriff Lieutenant
Department: Sheriff
SUBJECT:

Riverside County Sheriff's Contract Renewal
RECOMMENDATION:

Approve the agreement for Law Enforcement Services through June 30, 2029.

SUMMARY:

This agreement extends the current Sheriff's contract to provide policing services in Norco.

BACKGROUND:

The current Agreement for Law Enforcement Services between the City of Norco and the County of Riverside was effective for five years and expires on June 30, 2024. This recommended new agreement provides the same staffing level that we currently have and is effective for five years, expiring on June 30, 2029.

This agreement includes the standard provisions that the County has with other cities that contract for policing services. These agreements differ only with regard to their respective Attachment A, which determines the level of service that each city funds. The agreement preserves the City’s ability to increase or decrease staffing levels, or to terminate the agreement upon written notice 12 months prior to the termination date.

There are no substantive changes to this agreement as compared to the former 5-year agreement.

The City of Norco currently contracts for the following service levels. These service levels are contained in Attachment A to the proposed agreement:

Average Patrol Services - 48 fully supported hours per day (Equivalent of 9.3 Deputy Sheriff positions @ 1,884 annual productive hours per position)

Page 283 of 495 ends

Dedicated Positions:

One (1) Sheriff’s Lieutenant
Three (3) Deputy Sheriff (fully supported) positions – Community Oriented Policing Two (2) Deputy Sheriff (fully supported) positions – Traffic One (1) Deputy Sheriff (fully supported) position – Motor Four (4) Community Service Officer positions
The City enjoys an excellent level of service at a reasonable cost through its longstanding partnership with the Riverside Sheriff's Office (RSO). To continue these services, it is recommended that the 5-year agreement with the County of Riverside be approved.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The annual cost for Sheriff’s services is included in the FY 2024-25 Operating Budget and subsequent costs will be included in their corresponding operating budgets. The new contract continues the same methodologies as the previous contract regarding how costs are calculated and billed to the City based on service levels. The FY 2024-25 contract cost is estimated to be $7.83 million.

RELATIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC PLAN:

This item is consistent with Strategic Direction No. 1 Public Health, Safety & Wellness:

Enhance quality of life by promoting public health, safety and wellness initiatives for all community members.

Page 289 of 495 ends

7.3 Facility Rate Charges. City shall reimburse County for the costs incurred by the Sheriff’s Office at County-owned or leased facilities. Costs are prorated according to the facility’s square footage occupied by a Sheriff’s Office Bureau or Unit.

7.3A Calculation of Facility Rates. The total of the facility’s cost components is divided by the appropriate variable number of positions (number of station funded, sworn department funded or total Department funded employees depending on the facility in question and the Department population served). This cost per funded position is then applied to the number of positions chargeable to the contract city to arrive at each contract city’s share of the facility cost.

The County agrees that Facility Rate Station charges to City will not be increased due to the Sheriff’s decision to move Contract or unincorporated County Patrol positions from the Station.

7.4 Payment of Costs. County, through the Sheriff’s Office, shall provide to City within thirty (30) days of the conclusion of each billing period, an itemized statement of the costs for services being charged for said billing period. Billing statements for RMS services will be provided quarterly for services being charged for said quarter. City shall remit payment to the invoicing department within thirty (30) days after receipt of such statements. If such payment is not received by the County within thirty (30) days after presentation of billing, County may satisfy such indebtedness from any funds of the City on deposit with County as provided by law pursuant to Government Code Section 907.

7.5 Field Training Costs. Should City elect to add additional Deputy Sheriff positions to the level of service described herein, there will be an associated field training cost for each additional position. City will be billed, on a separate invoice, up to a maximum of sixteen (16) weeks of training on a one-time basis for each additional Deputy position. Said cost will be charged at the Unsupported Deputy hourly rate as approved by the County Board of Supervisors. Billing will be provided for field training costs in conjunction with the rate adjustment billing. Field training costs will not apply to supervisory or classified positions added to the level of service.

7.6 Miscellaneous Costs. There are a number of other service costs that City shall be responsible for paying as they are incurred. These costs are not included as the support or service and materials cost components in the fully supported Deputy hourly rate, nor any other such rates established by the County Board of Supervisors. These service costs may include, but are not limited to, charges from vendors for: crime scene clean-up, blood draws, rape exams, polygraph exams, specialized printing jobs exclusive to City and training for personnel requested by City for specialized law enforcement.

STAFF REPORT
Date: May 15, 2024 Agenda Item:

3.J.

To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Lori Sassoon, City Manager
Prepared By: Jessica Hall, Sheriff Lieutenant
Department: Sheriff
SUBJECT:

Amend Existing Agreement with Flock Group Inc. for Flock Safety Automated License Plate Reader (ALPR)
RECOMMENDATION:

Authorize the City Manager to increase contract by $5,000 for the annual cost associated with the Flock Safety ALPR fixed cameras.

SUMMARY:

Per the Flock Safety Contract, section 5.2, Changes to Fees, Flock reserves the right to change the Fees at the end of the initial Term or any Renewal Term. On November 27, 2023, Flock Safety issued an email informing customers of an adjustment to the pricing of the Flock Safety ALPR cameras. Effective January 1, 2024, the new price per fixed Flock cameras went from $2,500 to $3,000, bringing Phase 1 to the same annual cost as Phase 2 and Phase 3. This results in a $5,000 increase to the agreement.

BACKGROUND:

In March of 2021, the City approved the installation of ten (10) Flock Safety ALPR fixed cameras (Phase 1) in various locations around the City of Norco at an annual rate of $25,000. In June of 2023, the City approved an amendment to the existing agreement by approving an additional twenty (20) Flock Safety ALPR cameras (Phase 2 and Phase 3) at an annual rate of $30,000 per phase, with a one-time installation fee of $4,000 each phase, for an amount not to exceed $93,000 for fiscal year 2023-2024.

Page 305 of 495 ends

as Phase 2 and Phase 3. This results in a $5,000 increase to the agreement for an amount of $98,000 for fiscal year 2023-2024.

It is recommended that the City Council approve the modification to the agreement to reflect the price increase.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The total annual costs associated with Phase 1, Phase 2, and Phase 3 for Fiscal Year 2023-24 is $98,000. The Fiscal Year 2023-24 General Fund Operating Budget has sufficient funding available to cover the $5,000 increase.

The costs for subsequent fiscal years will be budgeted in the corresponding operating budgets.

RELATIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC PLAN:

Strategic Plan Number 1: Public Health, Safety and Wellness: Enhance quality of life by promoting public health, safety, and wellness initiatives for all community members.

STAFF REPORT
Date: May 15, 2024 Agenda Item:

5.A.

To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Amanda Hamilton, Facilities and Maintenance
Director
Prepared By: Amanda Hamilton, Facilities and Maintenance Director
Department: Facilities and Maintenance
SUBJECT:

Review Options and Consider Staff Recommendation for the Replacement of the Pikes Peak Park Playground Replacement Project
RECOMMENDATION:

Approve Staff Recommendation of Option 5 for the Pikes Peak Park Playground Replacement Project.

SUMMARY:

Pikes Peak Park, located at 97 Sixth Street, has been an award-winning park since its inception in 2006. As staff has looked into installing Pour in Place (PIP) rubberized surfacing for the playground, we have found that the surfacing cannot be installed due to the original playground not being built to a height that would accommodate for the PIP. Staff reviewed various options and selected three options for Council review. It is recommended that the City Council review the three options and approve staff recommendation of Option 5 for the replacement of the playground at Pikes Peak Park.

BACKGROUND:

In FY 2022-23, staff developed an RFP for the installation of PIP for the Pikes Peak Playground utilizing CDBG Funds. This is a standard process that has been done at several parks in the past three years. The project was set for bid opening on February 28, 2023. When the mandatory Prebid meeting was held on February 16, 2023, many bidders had concerns about the height of the transfer stations (slides and other platforms) on the playground with the height of the new PIP surfacing not meeting the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) standards.

The bid was cancelled, and staff reached out to RHA Landscaping for further analysis of the existing playground structure and other options for the installation of PIP surfacing.

Page 340 of 495 ends

RHA recommended a site survey of the playground in which City Staff hired Kelso & Associates to survey the playground and all transfer points to identify the areas that would need to be raised due to the PIP installation.

The findings from this survey concluded there are eight slide exit locations and five of them will not be compliant with the CPSC Guidelines for slide exit points after the PIP surfacing is installed. While this analysis was taking place, staff contacted the manufacturer of the existing playground, Columbia Cascade, about replacement parts for the existing structure. Columbia Cascade cannot guarantee replacement parts that would meet the CPCS guidelines. In addition, representatives have not been willing to provide alternative brackets for modifications to the existing slides and transition platforms. If we are unable to modify the current playground, this would mean that we would need to remove and board up five locations on the play structures.

Since this playground structure has been in operation for 17 years, and there are signs of wear on the structure along with sun damage, we are recommending the replacement of this playground to coincide with the new PIP installation. Around the 20-year mark is when most playgrounds start to require replacement parts. Given the cost of these parts along with the factors of “no guarantees” that replacement parts will be available, it is appropriate to consider a new playground system at this time.

Staff has reviewed several playground manufacture products and have found that GameTime provides the best option for an agricultural design. Staff reviewed various options and selected three options for Council review. Each option is prepared differently to accommodate for pricing. Option 5 is the recommended playground design, because it utilizes the majority of the footprint of the existing playground and offers more interactive play for our users. The attachments include overviews for each of these options; the costs for each option are summarized below.

Option Playground PIP Cost Description
Option 3 $630,000 $360,000 $990,000 Minimal Play
Experience
Option 6 $870,000 $400,000 $1,270,000 Moderate Play
Experience
Option 5 $1,090,000 $480,000 $1,570,000
Maximized
Play
Experience
Option 3 - Minimal play experience with a Playground for children 5-12 years of age and a play area for children 2-5 years of age. The option includes a barn, silos, play tractor, Merry-Go- All, Sky Run Zip Track, and swings.

Page 341 of 495 ends

Option 6 - Moderate play experience with an inclusive playground for children 2-5 years of age along with a separate play area for children 5-12 years of age. The design includes a barn, silos, zipline, swings with shade cover, miner's cottage playhouse, PIP design patterns, climbers, corn maze, and inclusive whirl.

Page 342 of 495 ends

Option 5 - Maximized play experience with an inclusive playground for children 2-5 years of age along with a separate play area for children 5-12 years of age. The design includes a barn, tractor, silos, zipline, swings with shade cover, spring riders, swinging benches, miner's cottage playhouse, climbers, corn maze, inclusive whirl, spinning whirl, adaptive swings, expression swings, orchard apple climber, PIP design patterns, and a variety of other amenities to inspire young minds.

Page 343 of 495 ends

In addition, the GameTime products through PlayCore will allow Pikes Peak to be a National Demonstration Site for meeting best practices in design and program elements. Intentionally aligning to National Demonstration Site design criteria ensures that our community can maximize the value of the investment by implementing scholarly best practice research to activate play and recreation destinations. With evidence-based best practices to design and implement high-quality play and recreation environments, National Demonstration Sites receive recognition, demonstrate impact through data services, and site-specific reports to share and showcase the impact on community health and wellness.

On April 8, 2024, the Parks and Recreation Commission reviewed the three different options for the playground replacement and found that Option 5 was the best option for Council consideration. The Parks and Recreation Commission also requested additional PIP design to delineate the zip line area for a project cost of $1,570,000 plus a 10% contingency (total cost of $1,727,000).

On April 24, 2024, the Measure R Citizens' Oversight Committee reviewed Option 5 and recommended for City Council approval of a budget appropriation in the amount of $830,000 in Measure R funds for the project. This project will be funded through

Page 344 of 495 ends

Measure R Funds, Parks Development Funds, and Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Funds to help cover some of the costs for the PIP. This project would consist of a two phased approach, with the first phase being the purchase of materials and installation from GameTime as an Omnia Partners a Cooperative Purchasing Contract. The second phase would incorporate the demolition of the existing playground and the installation of the PIP rubberized surfacing that would be required to go out to public bid and under CDBG funding guidelines.

Costs for the playground equipment have increased over the years and the cost for the Pikes Peak Park Playground Replacement Project is in line with other new playground installations that other Counties and Municipalities have recently installed:

Agency Park Cost
San Bernardino Seccombe Lake Park $2.9 Million
City of Downey Rio San Gabriel Park $1.6 Million
San Bernadino Regional
Parks Department Prado Regional Park $1.6 Million
In addition, the life expectancy of the new playground equipment is estimated at 15-20 years, but may last longer due to the options of replacement parts. The PIP surfacing has a life expectancy of 10 years but advancements in preservation by sealing the surfacing each year have been introduced for a longer life expectancy.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The Pikes Peak Playground Replacement Project was initially approved as a Capital Improvement Project (CIP) in Fiscal Year 2023-24 in the amount of $217,000 for the PIP replacement which were not sufficient to cover the project.

Staff reviewed funding options and the following are included in the FY 24-25 Operating and Capital Improvement Program Budgets:
 $277,000 grant funds have been added from CDBG funding  $620,000 parks development impact fees, and
 $830,000 Measure R funds
The estimated total project cost is $1,727,000 ($1,570,000 plus a 10% contingency).

RELATIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC PLAN:

This item is consistent with Strategic Direction No. 5 Infrastructure and Asset Management: Ensure timely preservation, replacement, improvement and acquisition of infrastructure and capital assets.

City Council

STAFF REPORT
Date: May 15, 2024 Agenda Item:

5.B.

To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Lori Sassoon, City Manager
Prepared By: Colin Burns, City Attorney
Department: Administration
SUBJECT:

Resolution Revising the Enforcement Provisions of the City's Code of Ethics.

RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt a Resolution Revising the Enforcement Provisions of the City’s Code of Ethics.

SUMMARY:

The City Council directed staff to revise the Code of Ethics to add a method of enforcement. It was also discussed that matters involving the City Council should be enforced by the City Council, not staff. It is further suggested that matters involving Commissioners also be enforced by Council. Following further discussion, it was determined the prior method of enforcement should be re-incorporated with refinements providing that Council Members, not staff, review ethics complaints against Council Members and Commissioners, and that examples of remedial actions should be included.

BACKGROUND:

Staff proposes adding the following section to the Code of Ethics:

DISTRIBUTION: The Code of Ethics shall be included in the orientation materials given to candidates for City Council, shall be placed in the City of Norco Commissioner's Handbook, and provided to all City employees. City Council members (as well as City Council candidates filing for office), commission members, and City employees shall sign a statement affirming that they have read and understood the City of Norco Code of Ethics. The signed statement shall be filed in the office of Human Resources.

ENFORCEMENT AND SANCTIONS: While this Code of Ethics is intended to be selfenforcing, it is recognized there may be instances where a person violates this Code's provisions. In such cases, the following enforcement and sanctions may be used:

Page 426 of 495 ends

1. City Council Members and Commissioners.

A. If it is believed that a City Council Member or Commissioner violated this Code of Ethics, a formal written statement shall be submitted to the City Clerk for processing, specifically stating the violation that has occurred and naming the Council Member or Commissioner who committed the violation. An ad hoc committee will then be formed consisting of two Council Members, randomly selected, excluding the subject of the statement, to review the statement and take any action deemed prudent to investigate whether a violation of this Code of Ethics occurred. The ad hoc committee will then provide the entire City Council with its findings.

B. If the ad hoc committee determines a violation occurred, the committee can then take action to correct the violation and/or prevent future violations. The first step should be that the subject Council Member or Commissioner receives guidance from the ad hoc committee in regard to the violation, including a warning that, if the Council Member or Commissioner continues to violate the Code of Ethics, sanctions against that Council Member or Commissioner may occur, including:
(1) Public reprimand or censure by the City Council;
(2) Loss of committee, commission, or other assignments (both within the city or other intergovernmental agencies);
(3) Removal from appointed office by the City Council;
(4) Loss of appointment or removal from the Vice Mayor or Mayor position; or
(5) Other sanctions as deemed appropriate by a majority vote of the City Council.

C. If a Council Member or Commissioner continues to violate this Code of Ethics, and a formal written statement is again submitted to the City Clerk, the City Clerk shall provide that statement to the entire City Council. Any Council Member can then request that the item be added to a future agenda, following the City’s procedure for Council Member requests to add agenda items for future consideration, for discussion and action on an appropriate sanction.

D. In the case of a Council Member, the ultimate sanction of removal from office would lie in the hands of the electorate.

2. City Employees.

A. If it is believed a City employee violated this Code of Ethics, a formal written statement shall be submitted to the City Clerk for processing, specifically stating the violation that occurred and naming the City employee who committed the violation. The City Manager will review the statement and take any other action deemed prudent to determine if a violation occurred. If in the case of the City Manager being named, the City Attorney will review the submitted statement and will proceed under the terms of his/her employment agreement.

B. City employees are subject to discipline per the City's Personnel Rules and Regulations and follow other processes, including the Skelly disciplinary procedure.

The City Council members, commission members, and employees must be independent, impartial and responsible in the performance of their duties and acting in the public interest. The purpose of this Code of Ethics is to establish policy and guidelines, reflecting expected values and behaviors for use by and applicable to the City Council, commission members, and employees. Individuals employed by the City under contractual agreement must also observe the provisions of this policy for the term of their contract or as the contract may stipulate.

The City Council members, commission members, and employees of the City of Norco at all levels are guardians of the public trust and are required to be impartial and responsible in the fulfillment of their duties. The citizens and customers of the City of Norco expect and must receive the highest standard of ethics from all those in public service, regardless of personal consideration.

This Code of Ethics shall also apply to the use of social media as well as interpersonal communication.

ETHICAL CONSIDERATIONS:

1. Comply with Law. City Council members, commission members, and employees are obligated to uphold the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State of California and to comply with Federal, State, and local laws and City policies. Recognizing the special responsibilities of serving the City and its citizens and customers, they are required to maintain the highest standards of integrity and honesty, and they are expected to treat all members of the public and fellow City employees with respect, courtesy, concern and responsiveness. Their conduct in both their official and private affairs should be above reproach to assure that their City position is not used for personal gain.

2. Work for the Common Good. City Council members, commission members, and employees shall represent and work for the common good of the people of Norco and not for private interest, assuring equitable treatment of all persons, claims, and transactions coming before the Norco City Council and City commissions.

3. Conduct of City Council Members, City Commission Members, and City Employees. The professional and personal conduct of officials and employees must avoid the appearance of impropriety. City Council members, commission members, and employees shall refrain from abusive conduct, personal charges or verbal attacks upon the character or motives of other officials, employees or the public.

City Council members, commission members, and employees shall not take any special advantage of services or opportunities for personal gain, by virtue of their public office that is not available to the public in general. They shall refrain from accepting gifts or favors or promises of future benefits which might compromise or tend to impair their independence of judgment or give the appearance of being compromised. All California Fair Political

May 15, 2024
Practices Commission rules and regulations shall be followed in regards to gifting and ticket distribution policies.

4. Respect for Process. The professional and personal conduct of City Council members, commission members, and employees must be above reproach and members must avoid even the appearance of impropriety. They shall perform their duties in accordance with the processes and rules of order established governing the deliberation of public policy issues.

5. Use of City Employment and Facilities for Personal Gain. City Council members, commission members, and employees shall not use City time, City funds or City facilities, equipment or supplies for personal use or personal gain or for campaign related political activities; nor shall they use or attempt to use their position to secure unwarranted privileges or exemptions for themselves or others.

6. Decisions Based on Merit. City Council members, commission members, and employees shall prepare themselves for public issues; listen courteously and attentively to all public discussions before the body and focus on the business at hand. They shall base all decisions on the merits and substance of the matter at hand, rather than on unrelated considerations.

7. Confidential Information. City Council members, commission members, and employees shall not use confidential information acquired by or available to them in the course of their employment with the City for personal gain or for personal, non-City business related reasons. They shall respect the confidential information concerning litigation, personnel, property, or other affairs of the City, without proper legal authority, nor use such information to advance their financial or other private interests.

City Council members, commission members, and employees shall uphold the public's right to know, and in accordance with the Brown Act, uphold the public's right to know not only the decisions taken, but also the deliberations which shape public policies.

Confidential information means all information, whether transmitted verbally or in writing, which is of a nature that it is not, at that time, a matter of public record or public knowledge, including those items described in the California Public Records Act and items subject to the attorney-client privilege. Any City Council member, commission member, or employee who is aware of a breach of confidentiality is expected to bring forth that information in a timely manner.

8. Conflict of Interest. City Council members, commission members, and employees are expected to avoid any conflicts of interest. Further, they should avoid the appearance of conflicts of interest in order to ensure that City decisions are made in an independent and impartial manner.

May 15, 2024
public service have financial interests in matters coming before them, or before the department in which they are employed, they shall remove themselves from making, participating in the making, or seeking to influence any decision regarding such matter. All City Council members, commission members, and employees who are designated in the City's Conflict of Interest Code, shall file the appropriate disclosure statements required under State Law. A conflict of interest may arise when dealing with a current or prospective vendor, supplier, or other business.

9. Advocacy. City Council members, commission members, and employees shall represent the official policies or positions of the City Council or City Commission to the best of their ability when designated as delegates for this purpose.

10. Positive Work Environment. City Council members, commission members, and employees shall faithfully perform their duties by attending all meetings of which they are a member, unless unable to do so for some compelling reason or disability. They will make every attempt to be punctual and ready for City business and shall support the maintenance of a positive and constructive work place environment for City employees, private citizens and businesses dealing with the City.

11. Discrimination and Harassment. City Council members, commission members, and employees shall not, in the performance of their duties, discriminate against any person on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, ancestry, age, sex, gender, pregnancy, childbirth or related medical condition, sexual orientation, marital status, disability, medical condition and actual or perceived gender identity and they will reinforce the City of Norco’s commitment to equal employment opportunity and a work environment free of discrimination and harassment, including sexual harassment.

12. Self-Enforcement of the Code. As an expression of the standards of conduct for City Council members, commission members, and employees, the City of Norco Code of Ethics is intended to be self-enforcing. It therefore becomes most effective when members are thoroughly familiar with and embrace its provisions. For this reason, the Code of Ethics shall be included in the orientation materials given to candidates for City Council, shall be placed in the City of Norco Commissioner’s Handbook, and provided to all City employees. City Council members (as well as City Council candidates filing for office), commission members, and City employees shall sign a statement affirming that they have read and understood the City of Norco Code of Ethics.

DISTRIBUTION: The Code of Ethics shall be included in the orientation materials given to candidates for City Council, shall be placed in the City of Norco Commissioner's Handbook, and provided to all City employees. City Council Members (as well as City Council candidates filing for office), commission members, and City employees shall sign a statement affirming that they have read and understood the City of Norco Code of Ethics.

The signed statement shall be filed in the office of Human Resources.

STAFF REPORT
Date: May 15, 2024 Agenda Item:

5.C.

To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Lisette Free, Finance Director
Prepared By: Lisette Free, Finance Director
Department: Finance
SUBJECT:

Discussion of Preliminary Fiscal Year 2024-25 Operating and Capital Operating Budgets
RECOMMENDATION:

Discuss the Preliminary Fiscal Year 2024-25 Operating and Capital Improvement Program Budgets and provide feedback to staff.

SUMMARY:

On May 1, 2024, staff presented the Preliminary Fiscal Year 2024-25 Operating and Capital Improvement Program Budgets to City Council. Staff is requesting discussion and feedback.

BACKGROUND:

On May 1, 2024, staff presented the Preliminary Fiscal Year 2024-25 Operating and Capital Improvement Program Budgets to City Council. City Council had the following questions/ inquiries regarding the Preliminary Budgets:
 Council inquired as to where the backyard trail maintenance is identified in the Budget.

The trail maintenance and repairs budget is in the Measure R operating line item totaling $650,000 - see attachment A. The $650,000 consists of the following:
 $600,000 - trail maintenance
 $30,000 - trail repairs
 $20,000 - backyard trail maintenance

 Council inquired about where the street sweeping savings from the new refuse agreement is located in the Operating Budget.

The street sweeping costs were originally budgeted in the NPDES Storm Drain Fund. The FY 2024-25 NPDES budget is $84,000 less than the FY 2023-24 NPDES budget due to the street sweeping services that will be performed by the new refuse hauler as part of the refuse agreement.

It is important to note that the FY 2023-24 NPDES Budget has an appropriation of $94,000 to cover the projected deficit. For FY 2024-25, the NPDES estimated ending fund balance has a deficit of $33,415 in which staff will monitor costs and determine at mid-year if a budget appropriation from the General Fund will be needed or if programs/costs will need to be cut to address the estimated deficit.
 Council inquired about the Finance Department's efficiencies with the transfer of billing of refuse services to the new refuse hauler.

The Finance department's refuse billing is included as part of the City's utility billing process. Finance will continue to bill water and sewer services. Customer services calls will be lessened which will allow Finance to focus on other City's priorities.

For example, Finance will be focusing on working on strengthening the collection process which was put on hold during COVID. In addition, there are new GASB accounting standards and pronouncements that Finance will need to implement such as GASB 100 - Accounting Changes and Error Corrections which would require us to update our annual financial statement format, disclosures and notes. Upcoming GASB pronouncements such as GASB 101 - Compensated Absences which changes how the liability for compensated absences is calculated as well as their related disclosures. Furthermore, we will be working on the requirements of compliance and reporting of development impact fees as well as new auditing standards that will require auditors to focus on the City's Information Technology systems and it's internal controls.  Council inquired about fiscal impact of the Memorandum of Understanding between the City of Norco and the Utility Workers Union of America, Local 606.

Although there has not been an agreement between the City and the Utility Workers Union of America, Local 606. The FY 2024-25 Operating Budget is projected based on the projected step increases in employees' ranges, instead of top step for every employee; including an estimated 2% cost-of-living adjustment; and the additional $50 per month medical benefit increase.  Council requested an itemized listing of the General Fund's contractual services account totaling $3,002,200. Staff compiled an itemized listing for review - see attachment B. In addition, staff compiled an itemized listing of the General
