6. DISCUSSION AND BACKGROUND
The City is currently experiencing a high volume of requests to review and approve engineering plans related to development projects, including those for various infrastructure improvements and temporary traffic control. Based on present and anticipated volumes and current staffing levels, consulting services are necessary to perform plan review in a reasonable and timely manner.
Staff previously solicited proposals using a Request for Qualifications/Proposals process for on-call traffic engineering services to augment the City’s professional traffic engineering capabilities and to provide high quality, timely expertise and support where needed. As a result of that process, ten firms were selected by an evaluation committee to the City’s bench of on-call traffic engineering consultants, including Iteris, Inc. (Iteris).
Through the proposed agreement, Iteris will provide engineering services to review plans for traffic signal installation and modification, street lighting, signing and striping, traffic control, construction phasing and, if necessary, construction support (inspection.) Additionally, Iteris is prepared to provide on-site support for this project, assigning its staff to work from City Hall part time, as needed, to support city staff performing post-entitlement review. This arrangement is expected to facilitate City of Orange Page 1 of 2 Printed on 2/19/2025

Re: Proposal for On‐Call Traffic Engineering Plan Check and Construction Support Services 11477‐286.25
Dear Sir/Madam:
At Iteris, we want to play a key role in transforming the built and natural environments into thriving communities.
The firm’s unmatched experience and broad range of professional consulting services helps our clients plan and implement innovative strategies to meet the challenges of tomorrow, focusing our efforts on revitalizing and building resilient cities.
The purpose of this on‐call is to serve as an extension of staff to effectively address and improve the infrastructure in the City.
PROVEN CITY OF ORANGE SUCCESS: The proposed Project Manager, Mr. Shirjeel Muhammad, PE, has over 25 years of hands‐on Traffic Engineering experience working in both the public and private sectors. More importantly, he has extensive relevant experience with assisting the City of Orange with reviewing of several Traffic Engineering Design plans such as Signing & Striping, Traffic Signal, and Traffic Control Plans. He is well aware of what’s required of the consultants in order to get in compliance with the City of Orange and State Standards.
EXTENSIVE ON‐CALL TRAFFIC ENGINEERING EXPERTISE: Iteris provides on‐call support to agencies throughout California and has over 50 experienced technical staff to meet any agency need, at any time. Iteris has successfully served over 30 local agencies in the past 10 years with on‐call assignments related to traffic engineering, design, and related Construction Support. We have been managing this work both as staff extension assignments on site and through completing various task orders at Iteris’ offices.
INDUSTRY LEADING EXPERTISE: Iteris staff are experts with the latest technologies focused on building robust redundant modern transportation systems for today’s needs and tomorrow’s systems.
Innovative solutions is our expertise and, thus, we approach every project, big or small, with the City’s future goals in mind.
Based on our recent discussion, the City requested Iteris to propose an open Task Order under the existing traffic engineering panel. Shirjeel Muhammad, our Associate Vice President II will be the lead contact for providing staff augmentation services for the City. He has served the City in the same capacity for the last 4 years. He will be available to assist you in reviewing all traffic engineering design, detour, and operation related plans, specifications, and estimates. He will assign staff based on the type of review(s) needed which includes but is not limited to providing related construction support.
Iteris will provide Plan‐checking and Construction Support services to the City of Orange for any type of traffic and transportation engineering deliverables prepared by other consultants or contractors. Iteris can provide this service remotely or be present at the City’s offices. We will discuss timeline for each task with your staff based on the size and level of skill required on a per project basis.
As per our recent conversation, our staff will provide staff augmentation services for approximately thirty two (32) hours per week for first 8 weeks working at the City offices. Thereafter, the City will inform Iteris of the staff presence at the City on as‐needed basis.
28 It’s our understanding that the total contract amount is anticipated to be NTE $250,000.
Following are the general tasks anticipated for this Task Order:
Traffic Engineering
Staff Augmentation
Traffic Safety
Traffic Signal Design Plan Peer Review
Traffic Signing and Striping Design Plan Peer Review
Street Lighting Design Plan Peer Review
Construction Zone Traffic Control Plan Peer Review
Detour Plan Review
Construction Support
Furthermore, following is an estimation of amount of time in Business days which would be anticipated for a particular plan check category:
‐ Traffic Signal Design Plans ‐ 2 Intersections ‐ 5 days ‐ Traffic Signing and Striping Plans ‐ 10 sheets ‐ 4 days ‐ Street Lighting Design Plans ‐ 10 sheets ‐ 5 days ‐ Traffic Control/Detour Plans ‐ 10 sheets ‐ 4 days Iteris will send a monthly invoice on a time and materials basis. Our staff rates are listed below. 29 Thank you for the opportunity to submit our proposal. Iteris looks forward to assisting the City on this important project and hope that the City will find our proposal acceptable.
Sincerely,
Iteris, Inc.

None.
5. STRATEGIC PLAN GOALS
Goal 2: Enhance Economic Development and Achieve Fiscal Sustainability
6. DISCUSSION AND BACKGROUND
Milan REI X, LLC (Milan) owns the real property at 6146 Santiago Canyon Road (the “Brandman site”) and the real property located along Santiago Canyon Road with the Assessor’s parcel numbers of 370-011-08, 370-041-12, 370-011-18, 370-011-22, 370-041-25, 093-280-07, 093-280- 27, 093-280- 29, 093-280-30, and 093-280-07 (the “Creekside Village site”) to be henceforth referred to as “Sites”.
The City and Milan (Parties) currently have different interpretations of relevant state law, in part, concerning the processing of the applications, including the scope of the materials Milan must provide to the City and the City’s duty to process and approve the proposed development projects.
The Parties entered into Tolling Agreements (Agreements) to have time to further evaluate nonCity of Orange Page 1 of 2 Printed on 2/20/2025 powered by Legistar™ 31
Item #: 3.3. 2/25/2025 File #: 25-0103
The Parties entered into Tolling Agreements (Agreements) to have time to further evaluate nonresidential uses for the Sites, including, but not limited to, recreational and sport uses, educational institution uses, acquisition by the City or a third party, or other paths for non-residential uses that may be acceptable to both Parties. In the absence of the time provided by this Agreement, the Parties (and in particular, Milan) may be forced to seek relief through the courts. The Parties believe it is in their best interests to avoid the time, expense, and risk of such litigation for the period identified by these Agreements. The initial term of the Agreements is set to expire on February 23, 2025. Parties wish to extend the term of the Agreements for an additional 90 days to May 28, 2025.

Approval of plans and specifications for Annual Pavement Maintenance at various locations, Fiscal Year 2024-2025; authorization to advertise for bids; and finding of California Environmental Quality Act exemption.
2. SUMMARY
Plan and specifications have been completed, and the project is ready to be advertised for bids. The total estimated construction cost, including contingencies and construction engineering is $6,044,808.
3. RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. Approve the plans and specifications and authorize advertising for Bid No. 24-25.09 (SP4291), Annual Pavement Maintenance at various locations, Fiscal Year 2024-2025.
2. Find that the proposed project is categorically exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per State CEQA Guidelines 15301 (Class 1(c) - Existing Facilities).
4. FISCAL IMPACT
None.
5. STRATEGIC PLAN GOALS
Goal 5: Improve infrastructure, mobility, and technology.
6. DISCUSSION AND BACKGROUND
Annual Pavement Maintenance at Various Locations, Fiscal Year 2024-2025 (FY25) is part of the City’s Pavement Management Program (PMP) activities and is designed to prolong pavement life of city streets. The project will consist of Annual Street Maintenance and SB-1 funded Street Improvements.
On May 14, 2024, the City Council approved the list of five city arterial streets, one industrial street, and one residential street to be submitted for the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) Funding Program, part of SB-1 - Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017. The program addresses basic road maintenance, rehabilitation, and critical safety needs. For FY25, the City of City of Orange Page 1 of 2 Printed on 2/20/2025

Item #: 3.4. 2/25/2025 File #: 24-0659
Orange is receiving approximately $3,572,565 of RMRA funding for the rehabilitation of city streets.
The pavement rehabilitation methods vary depending on the sustained damage, but in general, consist of asphalt concrete overlays with localized areas of pavement reconstruction, replacement of damaged curb and gutter, cross gutter, sidewalk, and access ramps within the project limits to conform to federal guidelines, and construction of new curb and gutter at the locations where missing or replacing. The rehabilitated pavement will have a longer service life and will provide a safe and smooth ride for the public.
This asphalt concrete overlay project will rehabilitate approximately 35 residential streets and 5 arterial/collector streets throughout the city. The streets selected for maintenance are in accordance with our PMP and generally fall into the “poor to fair” category, requiring work at this time to prevent total pavement failure, saving the costs of complete reconstruction in the future at a much higher cost.
The total cost is estimated at $6,044,808, including construction engineering and a 15% contingency.
Upon receipt of public bids, staff will return to the City Council and recommend any funding adjustments and award of contracts based on the outcome of the public bid. If the bid comes in below the estimate, additional streets may be added for rehabilitation.
Construction is scheduled to begin in June 2025 and is expected to be completed by September 2025.
Specifications and cost estimates are available for review in the Public Works Department.
7. ENVIRONAMENTAL REVIEW
The proposed project is categorically exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per State CEQA Guidelines 15301 (Class 1(c) - Existing Facilities) in that it involves pavement maintenance and rehabilitation of existing streets and does not create additional roadway capacity. No public review is required.

A. In order to seek approval of a Permit Parking Area an applicant must be a property owner on an affected street, and submit a written request to the Traffic Division of the Public Works Department to create a Permit Parking Area and pay the required fee, as established by resolution of the City Council. The Traffic Division will review the request and determine if proposed permit parking district boundaries can be created and then conduct a parking occupancy study to determine parking occupancy levels. If the study shows that 75% of the available parking is being utilized during the observation times, then the City will send a petition to the property owners to determine the level of support. The deadline to return petitions shall be set by the Traffic Engineer and indicated on the petition. If the City receives petitions in favor of permit parking signed by at least three-fourths of the property owners in the proposed Permit Parking Area, the Traffic Engineer will present the request to the Traffic Commission for their consideration and further recommendation. The Traffic Commission shall consider the matter and make a recommendation to the City Council for the Permit Parking Area. The matter will be agendized for City Council consideration. If a Permit Parking Area is approved by the City Council, at its sole discretion, after signs have been posted giving notice thereof, no person shall park a motor vehicle, during all or certain portions of the day, within the boundaries of the Permit Parking Area, unless a valid parking permit is affixed to the motor vehicle in a manner that is clearly visible to law enforcement.
B. Notwithstanding Section 10.30.020(A), within 12 months of establishing a new Permit Parking Area, property owners on an adjacent street may initiate a request for permit parking without paying an application fee. All other code procedures and requirements shall apply.
The City Council may, at its sole discretion, establish areas within which individual streets may request to implement permit parking on a block-by-block basis. Requests in these areas shall be exempt from any application fees or parking occupancy requirements and the requirement to demonstrate 55% support via the petition process described in this chapter.
All other code procedures and requirements shall apply. Preemptively established Permit Parking Areas shall be identified and described by City Council resolution.
C. Dwelling units incorporated into the permit parking program prior to June 1, 2024, may be issued permits based upon the number previously allowed. Dwelling units approved for permit parking after June 1, 2024, shall be entitled to one parking permit per approved bedroom, up to a maximum of five. Approved dwellings without any bedrooms may request up to one permit.

D. To be considered a dwelling unit eligible for permits, the dwelling unit must have been issued the proper permits by the City. A dwelling unit includes a single-family residence with an ADU and/or JADU, an apartment, a condominium, and a duplex (two dwelling units), but does not include a motel or hotel or similar use with transient occupancy. A "resident" means a homeowner, tenant, or other person who lives in the dwelling unit. Each permit shall be subject to all conditions and restrictions contained in this chapter and for the Permit Parking Area designated for which it is issued.
E. Parking permits shall be issued in three-year cycles, as determined by the Orange Police Department. Permits issued shall be valid for the remainder of the current permitting cycle or until such time as the resident-permittee ceases to reside in the Permit Parking Area, whichever occurs first. At the discretion of the Police Chief, Chapman University students living in any Permit Parking Area may be issued one permit on an annual basis, up to four permits per dwelling unit, unless the dwelling unit has already been issued any permits under Section 10.30.020(C). The Police Chief may modify procedures related to issuance of parking permits for Chapman University students.
F. The City Council may terminate a designated Permit Parking Area at its sole discretion or upon receipt of a petition received by the City Clerk and contains the signature and corresponding printed name and address of the property owners representing 75% of the dwelling units in the designated Permit Parking Area.

1. SUBJECT
Authorize single source purchase and installation of four Opticom GPS Emergency Vehicle Preemption Systems from DDL Traffic, Inc.
2. SUMMARY
Emergency vehicle preemption systems are critical for reducing emergency response times, and four additional units are being proposed for deployment. Since 2012, the Orange City Fire Department has successfully relied on GPS-based emergency vehicle preemption systems manufactured by Global Traffic Technologies, LLC. The product is only available through DDL Traffic, Inc., therefore warranting a single source procurement. The single sourcing of this equipment has been previously approved by the City Council.
3. RECOMMENDED ACTION
Approve the single source purchase and installation of four Opticom GPS Emergency Vehicle Preemption Systems from DDL Traffic, Inc. for an amount not to exceed $47,500.
4. FISCAL IMPACT
The expense for this purchase is $47,500 and will be funded through Fire Facilities Fees (560):
560.3021.56670.12406 Signal Pre-Emption Installation
5. STRATEGIC PLAN GOALS
Goal 1: Maintain Strong Emergency and Safety Services
6. DISCUSSION AND BACKGROUND
Emergency vehicle preemption (EVP) systems assist the Orange City Fire Department’s emergency response vehicles through signalized intersections by providing temporary right-of-way. When activated, the traffic signal controller assigns or holds a green light to the requesting Fire Department vehicle, allowing it to pass through the intersection. During the period when the Fire Department vehicle is given the right-of-way, all conflicting traffic is stopped via red lights, minimizing driver confusion, and reducing potential accidents at the affected intersection.
Since 2012, the City of Orange has been utilizing Opticom GPS Emergency Vehicle Preemption (Opticom EVP) equipment manufactured by Global Traffic Technologies, LLC (GTT). The Opticom EVP system, selected for its reliability and capabilities, has been previously approved as the single City of Orange Page 1 of 2 Printed on 2/20/2025

Item #: 3.9. 2/25/2025 File #: 25-0071
EVP system, selected for its reliability and capabilities, has been previously approved as the single source EVP system for use at traffic signals throughout the City. The product is only available through DDL Traffic, Inc., therefore warranting a single source procurement. The single sourcing of this equipment has been previously approved by the City Council and this single source specification is a continuation of that policy.
To date, 101 of the City’s 158 signalized intersections have been equipped with EVP capabilities. As part of an ongoing effort to target additional intersections that would benefit from EVP, the Public Works Department, with the concurrence of the Fire Department, proposes to install EVP devices at four signalized intersections as follows:
1. Collins Avenue and Shaffer Street
2. Collins Avenue and Cambridge Street
3. Meats Avenue and Orange-Olive Road
4. Cannon Street and Via Escola Drive
Staff recommends the purchase and installation of Opticom EVP systems for the above signalized intersections. Continuing with the Opticom EVP system achieves consistency with existing signal infrastructure and maintenance efficiency, and DDL Traffic, Inc. is the only authorized vendor for the product. DDL Traffic, Inc. will also install the EVP system and provide any needed technical support.
The scope of work includes the installation of the detection devices on existing signal poles or mast arms, running detector cables to the traffic signal controller, and installation of the GPS components in the traffic controller cabinets.
The total amount of the procurement and installation is not to exceed $47,500.

To whom it may concern:
This letter is being sent in response to your request regarding the Opticom™ priority control system. Opticom is manufactured by Miovision Technologies US, LLC. Since 1968, Opticom has been the standard in priority control, now totaling more than 3,100 customers, 90,000+ intersections and 90,000+ vehicles worldwide.
Worth noting, Miovision’s Opticom system is used in 48 of the 50 largest U.S. cities, amongst many other deployments in Canada, Europe, Asia-Pacific and the Middle-East.
Miovision invests heavily in research and development, to ensure its customers always receive the best value and most feature-rich solutions when buying priority control. This effort has led to more than 100 patents, either granted or in-process.
While the topic of a mixed system sometimes emerges, please note that Miovision designs, develops and tests each Opticom component as part of a “matched component system.” This means that “mixing” nonOpticom components raises concerns, including:
• Security is accomplished through Opticom’s proprietary design, which prevents unauthorized use of the system. Mixing components would significantly reduce or even eliminate the security measures Miovision has built into the Opticom solution • Mutual aid to and/or from surrounding communities depends on compatibility amongst signal priority solutions. The use of Opticom components with non-Opticom components has not been designed for or tested by Miovision
Proper testing of compatibility would require inclusion of all of the potential operating scenarios (temperature, humidity, electrical and accelerated life) and third-parties. Further, testing would need to be repeated each time an Opticom or third-party component was updated, making testing impractical. While the Opticom matched component system is guaranteed, mixing Opticom components with non-Opticom components voids the warranty of the connected Opticom components and transfers the liability of any such incompatibility from the manufacturer to the customer
126
• The Opticom model 764 phase selector is not compatible with other brands’ GPS emitters • The Opticom Central Management Software is a proprietary software program for the Opticom system that is not compatible with any other vendor’s equipment or software For the above reasons, Miovision strongly recommends keeping the Opticom system whole.
In the state of California, DDL Traffic is the authorized dealer for Miovision. There are currently no other authorized dealers of Miovision’s products in California and Miovision is the sole-source provider/manufacturer of Opticom products.
Please contact Miovision or DDL Traffic if you have further questions or if you require additional detail.
Miovision and/or DDL Traffic will also provide a list of references if you’d like to talk with others about this topic.
Sincerely,
Kyle Anderson

1. SUBJECT
Authorize purchase for repairs to the Fire Department aerial truck and other apparatus and designate Fire Apparatus Solutions as a single source vendor.
2. SUMMARY
Authorize purchase in the amount of $100,000 with Fire Apparatus Solutions for fire apparatus repairs for Fiscal Year 2024-2025. Fire Apparatus Solutions has been previously approved by the City Council as a single source vendor and is recognized as the standard for these repairs.
3. RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize purchase for repairs from Fire Apparatus Solutions for Fiscal Year 2024-2025 in an amount not to exceed $100,000, funded through the Equipment Expense Fund (710).
4. FISCAL IMPACT
The expense for this purchase is $100,000 and will be funded through the Equipment Expense Fund (710):
710.5023.53750.00000 Outside Motor Vehicle Service (PD Also)
5. STRATEGIC PLAN GOALS
Goal 1: Maintain Strong Emergency and Safety Services
Goal 5: Improve Infrastructure, Mobility, and Technology
6. DISCUSSION AND BACKGROUND
The Public Works Department Fleet Division is responsible for maintaining the ready status of all fire apparatus and performs most maintenance and repairs in-house. However, major structural and specialized repairs are performed by qualified outside vendors, of whom there are only two in Southern California: Fire Apparatus Solutions (FAS) in Rialto and Southern California Fleet Services, Inc. (So Cal Fleet) in Anaheim.
So Cal Fleet handles mechanical repairs, while FAS specializes in mechanical repairs and painting.
FAS's specialization makes them uniquely qualified for fire apparatus repairs that reasonably meet the Fire Department's needs. The Council has previously authorized FAS as the single source vendor, and this is a continuation of that policy.
The Seagrave Marauder II Aerial Truck, a 2014 model, is vital to the Fire Department's health, safety, and security functions. This multi-purpose firefighting apparatus combines the features of an engine City of Orange Page 1 of 2 Printed on 2/20/2025 powered by Legistar™131
Item #: 3.11. 2/25/2025 File #: 25-0086
and security functions. This multi-purpose firefighting apparatus combines the features of an engine (pumper) and a ladder truck (aerial device). Its primary functions include fire suppression and rescue operations by integrating a pump, hose, ground ladders, and an aerial ladder into a single vehicle.
Over time, usage and exposure to environmental factors, such as moisture and heat, have contributed to the deterioration of the truck's ladder, including rust formation. As a result, the ladder required disassembly, repairs, and repainting to prevent further damage, extend its service life, and ensure compliance with industry safety standards. These repairs are critical for maintaining the vehicle’s functionality and certification.
FAS has completed the restoration of the critical aerial truck for $55,302. These emergency repairs were conducted in accordance with OMC Section 3.08.290. The vehicle is now fully operational.
The Fleet Division utilizes FAS for other repair services throughout the year, costing, on average, more than $30,000 annually. With this significant repair cost of the aerial truck and other potential specialized repairs, staff recommends that the City Council approve a purchase of $100,000 to pay for the aerial truck repair and other future repairs during Fiscal Year 2024-2025.

2. SUMMARY

Item #: 9.1. 2/25/2025 File #: 25-0069
While there is no fiscal impact to base salary for these classifications, the classifications of Senior Emergency Medical Services Manager and Emergency Medical Services Manager are now eligible for overtime pay.
Additionally, these classifications will continue to receive a uniform allowance of $400.00 annually and eligibility to receive educational incentive pay of $550.00 per month.
5. STRATEGIC PLAN GOALS
Goal 4: Improve Employee Retention and Recruitment
Objective 4.5: Implement Succession Planning Strategies
6. DISCUSSION AND BACKGROUND
Pursuant to Council direction at their February 11, 2025 meeting, and in accordance with the Myers’ Milias Brown Act, the City and the Orange City Fire Management Association met and conferred regarding classification transfer matters. Over time, the non-sworn classifications of Senior Emergency Medical Services Manager and Emergency Medical Services Manager have evolved, taking on greater responsibilities in support of the Orange Fire Department.
The Senior Emergency Medical Services Manager is a unique, safety-sensitive position that plays an integral role within the Operations Division. This classification is actively involved in all organizational decision-making and participates in large-scale incidents within City boundaries.
While there is only one incumbent in the Senior Emergency Medical Services Manager classification, the Emergency Medical Services Manager is within the same job classification series. As a best practice, both classifications should move simultaneously together, effective March 23, 2025 to allow for implementation changes.
Finally, while there are no changes to the base salary, it is necessary to bring forward the Citywide Pay Schedule to solely reflect the bargaining group changes.

SALARIES
SECTION 1. BASIC COMPENSATION PLAN. A basic compensation plan is established for all employees covered by this MOU who are now employed, or will in the future be employed, in the designated classification title listed in this MOU in Exhibit A.
SECTION 2. SALARIES. Salaries and their effective dates for employees covered by this MOU are as listed in Exhibit A. The salary ranges shall be identified by number, and the steps by the letters A to F.
SECTION 3. HOURLY RATE.
A. Suppression Personnel. For all employees who have a weekly work schedule of 55.9 hours, the equivalent hourly rate of pay shall be the monthly rate times twelve (12) divided by 2906 annual hours.
B. All Other Personnel. For all employees who have a regular weekly work schedule of forty (40) hours, the equivalent hourly rate of pay shall be the monthly rate times twelve (12) divided by 2080 annual hours.
SECTION 4. BEGINNING RATES. Fire Battalion Chiefs, including those appointed to a temporary position, will begin at C Step, with a minimum of one (1) year of service required before advancing to each proceeding step. However, on the request of the Fire Chief under whom the employee will serve, and with authorization of the Human Resources Director, such employee, upon appointment to a Fire Battalion Chief position, may be placed at step higher than C, depending upon the employee's qualifications.
SECTION 5. SERVICE. The word “service”, as used in this MOU, shall be defined to mean continuous, full-time service in the present classification, service in a higher classification, or service in a classification allocated to the same salary range and having generally similar duties and requirements.
A lapse of service by any employee for a period of time longer than thirty (30) calendar days by reason of resignation or discharge eliminates the accumulated length of service of such employee for the purpose of this MOU. Such employee re-entering the service of the City shall be considered as a new employee, except that the employee may be re-employed within one (1) calendar year and placed in the same salary step in the appropriate compensation range as the employee was at the time of the separation of employment.
SECTION 6. ADVANCEMENT WITHIN SALARY RANGE. The following regulations shall govern salary advancement:
A. Merit Advancement. Employees shall be considered for advancement through the salary range in yearly increments. Advancement through the salary range may be 167
6 granted only for continuous, meritorious and efficient performance, and continued improvement by the employee in the effective performance of duties. A merit increase shall become effective on the first day of the pay period following completion of the length of service required for such advancement. Such merit advancement shall require the following:
The Fire Chief shall file with the Human Resources Director a Personnel Action Form and a completed Performance Evaluation form recommending the granting or denial of the merit increase and supporting such recommendation with specific reasons therefore. If denied by the Human Resources Director, the reason will be provided to the Fire Chief.
B. Special Merit Advancement. When an employee demonstrates exceptional ability and proficiency in the performance of duties, the Fire Chief may recommend to the Human Resources Director that said employee be advanced to a higher pay step without regard to the minimum length of service provisions contained in this MOU. The Human Resources Director may, on the basis of the Fire Chief's recommendation, approve and effect such special merit advancement.
C. Length of Service Required After A Merit Advancement is Denied. When an employee is not approved for a merit advancement to the higher salary step, the employee may be reconsidered for such advancement at any subsequent time. This reconsideration shall follow the same steps and shall be subject to the same action as provided in Section 6, Subsection A.
SECTION 7. PROBATIONARY PERIOD AND PROMOTION.
A. Probationary Period for New Employees. The probationary period for new employees shall be for a period of one (1) year (365 days) from date of hire in order to demonstrate suitability for the job. The employee shall attain regular status in the classification upon successful completion of the probationary period. For good cause, with the approval of the Human Resources Director, the Fire Chief may extend such probationary period.
B. Probationary Period for Promoted Employees. An employee who is promoted to a classification shall serve a probationary period during which the employee shall have an opportunity to demonstrate suitability for the job. The probationary period shall be one (1) year (365 days) from the date of promotion or date of hire for lateral appointments. For good cause, with the approval of the Human Resources Director, the Fire Chief may extend such probationary period up to an additional six (6) months.
The employee shall attain regular status in the classification upon successful completion of the probationary period. An employee who does not satisfy the standards of the class during the probationary period, shall be notified, in writing.
Such notice shall include the reasons for such action. If regular status in the class is not achieved, such employee shall be demoted to the appropriate step in the former classification unless the reasons warrant termination from City employment. 168
7 C. Probationary Period for Temporarily Promoted Employees. The probationary period for employees temporarily promoted to the position of Fire Battalion Chief shall be one (1) year (365 days) from the date of the temporary promotion. If there is a break in serving as a Temporary Fire Battalion Chief which is more than one (1) year (365 days) from the date of the temporary promotion, then the probationary period starts over. If there is a break in serving as a Temporary Fire Battalion Chief which is less than one (1) year (365 days) from the date of the temporary promotion, then all time served as a Temporary Fire Battalion Chief will count toward the probationary period, if said employee is formally promoted.
D. Salary for Promoted Employees. When an employee is promoted to a position in a higher classification, the employee may be assigned to Step A in the appropriate range for the higher classification; provided, however, that if such employee is already being paid at a rate equal to or higher than Step A, the employee may be placed in that appropriate salary range as will grant the employee an increase of at least one (1) salary step. At the discretion of the Fire Chief and the Human Resources Director, an employee may be granted a salary step increase of up to three (3) salary steps upon promotion.
SECTION 8. DEMOTION. If, pursuant to the provisions of this MOU, an employee is demoted to a position in a lower classification, the new salary rate shall be assigned to the appropriate salary range for the lower classification, and the salary rate shall be reduced by at least one (1) step.

Bereavement leave shall not accrue and must be used within one (1) year of initial incident date.
C. An employee on bereavement leave shall inform the immediate supervisor of that fact, and the reasons therefore, as soon as possible.

The City may require proof of the relationship as a condition to payment of bereavement leave. Employees wishing to take additional time off for bereavement may use sick leave, vacation, or compensatory time, with approval of the Fire Chief.
SECTION 7. WORKERS’ COMPENSATION. Workers’ Compensation benefits will be provided as follows:

The employee will then receive eighty percent (80%) of salary for up to an additional 335 calendar days. Temporary disability leave in excess of 365 days will be provided subject to current State regulations and the regular temporary disability Workers' Compensation rate will apply.
C. Modified Light Duty Work Programs. An employee may be eligible for a temporary modified light duty assignment while recovering from an injury or illness. The 184
23 availability of the assignment depends on the restrictive nature of the injury or illness and the availability of light duty. The assignment is subject to approval of the Human Resources Director and Fire Chief.
D. Course of Employment. Should it be determined by the employee’s doctor, or a doctor agreed upon by both parties, or an Administrative Law Judge through the Workers’ Compensation Appeals Board that an employee's illness or injury did not arise in the course of the employee's employment with the City or that the employee is not temporarily or permanently incapacitated or disabled as a result of the injury or illness, then the employee's accrued, or if insufficient, future, sick leave shall be charged to reimburse the City for any payments made to the employee pursuant to above.
E. Physician Pre-Designation. Before a work-related injury, an employee may elect to pre-designate a qualified medical provider if done in accordance with the State of California’s Division of Workers’ Compensation.
F. Fringe Benefits. An employee receiving benefits pursuant to Labor Code Section 4850 or temporary disability will continue to receive the City’s contribution to the employee’s benefit premiums, such as medical plan, dental plan, and vision plan. All authorized deductions will continue as though the employee is on regular work status.
If the employee is no longer eligible to receive temporary disability benefits, the employee shall be responsible for paying the benefit premiums. Any contributions to the employee’s benefits not paid pending the determination of whether an injury/illness is job-related and compensable shall be paid retroactively if compensability is determined and accepted by the City.
G. An employee receiving temporary disability payments in accordance with the current State of California Division of Workers’ Compensation laws and regulations may use accumulated leave (including sick leave, vacation, compensatory time, etc.) to supplement temporary disability payments to reach the amount equal to the employee’s full regular pay until the employee’s leave balances reach zero, at which time, the employee would no longer be able to supplement the temporary disability payments.

1 SECTION 1. BASIC COMPENSATION PLAN AND DEFINITIONS.
A. A basic compensation plan is established for all Executive and Senior Management employees of the City of Orange who are now employed or will in the future be employed in any of the classifications of employment listed in this Resolution and its Appendices.
B. The compensation for the City Manager and City Attorney shall be established by contract and they shall receive those benefits and be governed by all applicable rules and regulations related to those benefits provided for Executive Management.
C. Whenever the term "Department Head" is used, it shall be understood to include the City Manager and City Attorney when the personnel action affects a Department Head.
D. Whenever the term “Top Management” is used, it shall be understood to include all covered employees within this Resolution.
E. Whenever the term “Executive Management” is used, it shall be understood to include all classifications within Appendix A.
F. Whenever the term “Senior Management” is used, it shall be understood to include all classifications within Appendix B.
G. Except as amended by a written instrument formally approved by the City Council, the City Manager and City Attorney shall receive the fringe benefits that are afforded to Executive Management and shall have their compensation and terms of employment set forth herein.
SECTION 2. SALARY AND WAGE SCHEDULE.
The monthly salaries for employees covered by this Resolution are hereby incorporated, and listed in Appendices A and B.
The attached salary and wage schedules shall constitute the basic compensation plan consisting of six (6) steps or rates of pay in each range.
The respective ranges shall be identified by number and the steps by the letters A to F inclusive. The minimum length of service required for advancement to the next higher step is provided in Sections 5 and
6. The City Manager reserves the right to grant an additional salary increase of up to five percent (5.0%) for any classifications described herein in Appendices A and B. Any such increases shall not exceed a total cost of one percent (1.0%) of payroll for Top Management employees.
In an effort to avoid compaction between classifications, the following classification shall be compensated with a salary differential as follows:
The Police Chief shall be paid at least ten percent (10.0%) above the base salary of the Police Captain classification.
207
2 SECTION 3. ADMINISTRATION OF BASIC COMPENSATION PLAN.
The compensation ranges and steps contained in the attached salary schedule are monthly compensation rates.
For all employees covered by this Resolution, the hourly rate of pay shall be the monthly rate multiplied by 12 divided by 2080 annual hours. In determining the hourly rate, compensation shall be calculated to the nearest one-half (½) cent.
Part-time employees who are scheduled to work an average of at least 20 hours per week on a year-round basis may be considered for advancement to the next higher step upon completion of 2080 hours of employment.
SECTION 4. BEGINNING RATES.
A new employee of the City shall be paid the rate shown in Step A in the range allocated to the class of employment for which the employee has been hired, except that on the request of the Department Head under whom the employee will serve, and with the authorization of the Human Resources Director, such employee may be placed in Steps B through F depending upon the employee's qualifications.
SECTION 5. SERVICE.
The word service, as used in this Resolution, shall be defined to mean continuous, full-time service in the employee’s present classification, service in a higher classification, or service in a classification allocated to the same salary range and having generally similar duties and requirements.
A lapse of service by any employee for a period of time longer than thirty (30) days by reason of resignation or discharge eliminates the accumulated length of service time of such employee for the purpose of this Resolution. Employees re-entering the service of the City shall be considered as a new employee, except that the employee may, at the discretion of the City, be re-employed within one (1) year and placed in the same salary step in the appropriate compensation range, and earn the same vacation accrual rate, as the employee was at the time of the separation of employment.
SECTION 6. ADVANCEMENT WITHIN SALARY RANGES.
The following regulations shall govern salary advancement:
A. Merit Advancement. An employee shall be considered for advancement through the salary range upon completion of the minimum length of service required. The effective date of such merit increase, if granted, shall be the first day of the next pay period following the completion of the length of service required for such advancement. Advancement through the salary ranges Steps A through F may be granted only for continuous, meritorious, and efficient service, and continued improvement by the employee in the effective performance of the duties of the position. Such merit advancement shall require the following:
1) The Department Head shall file with the Human Resources Director a Personnel Action Form and a completed Performance Evaluation form recommending the granting or denial of the merit increase and supporting such recommendation with specific reasons 208
3 therefore. If denied by the Human Resources Director, the reason for denial will be provided to the Department Head.
2) Advancements through the pay ranges Step A through Step F, shall occur, if granted, in yearly increments.
3) A lapse of service of thirty (30) continuous calendar days or more for any reason shall extend the due date for the merit performance evaluation by an equal number of days absent.
B. Special Merit Advancement. When an employee demonstrates exceptional ability and proficiency in the performance of duties, the Department Head may recommend to the Human Resources Director that the employee be advanced to a higher pay step without regard to the minimum length of service requirements contained in this Resolution. With concurrence of the City Manager, the Human Resources Director may, on the basis of a Department Head's recommendation, approve such an advancement.
SECTION 7. REDUCTION IN SALARY STEPS.
Any employee who is being paid on a salary step higher than Step A may be reduced by one (1) or more steps upon the recommendation of the Department Head, and with the approval of the Human Resources Director. Such reduction shall take place only after the employee has been notified of the reasons and has had an opportunity to respond. Procedure for such reduction shall follow the same procedure as outlined for merit advancements in Section 6, and such employee may be considered for re-advancement under the same provisions as contained in Subsection A of Section 6.
SECTION 8. BILINGUAL ASSIGNMENT.
Employees covered by this Resolution may be assigned by the Department Head, with approval of the Human Resources Director, to a bilingual assignment. The Department Head shall determine the number of bilingual assignment positions which are necessary based upon a demonstrable need and frequency of use. Employees on bilingual assignment shall receive an additional $140.00 per month for the duration of the assignment. Employees receiving bilingual assignment compensation may be required to take and pass a proficiency test on an annual or as needed basis as determined by the Human Resources Department.
No permanency or seniority may be obtained in a bilingual assignment and such assignment may be revoked at any time by the Human Resources Director or a duly authorized designee. This form of pay, also referred to as “Bilingual Premium”, shall be reported to CalPERS as special compensation, and is therefore compensation earnable for Classic Members pursuant to CalPERS Regulations, Section 571(a)(4), and pensionable compensation for New Members and pursuant to CalPERS Regulations, Section 571.1(b)(3).
SECTION 9. LONGEVITY FOR SAFETY CHIEFS.
A. In an effort to maintain equality with subordinate classifications, the Fire Chief shall be eligible for Longevity Pay as follows:
209

B. In an effort to maintain equality with subordinate classifications, the Police Chief shall be eligible for Longevity Pay as follows:
Years of Service Monthly
Incentive
15 $250.00
20 $500.00
25 $1,250.00
C. This form of pay, also referred to as “Longevity Pay”, shall be reported to CalPERS as special compensation, and is therefore compensation earnable for Classic Members pursuant to CalPERS Regulations, Section 571(a)(1), and pensionable compensation for New Members pursuant to CalPERS Regulations, Section 571.1(b)(1).
SECTION 10. EDUCATIONAL INCENTIVE PROGRAM.
A. Employees covered by this Resolution, other than the Police Chief and Fire Chief, with postgraduate degrees (i.e., Master’s degree or higher) shall be eligible to receive $600.00 per month.
B. In an effort to maintain equality with subordinate classifications, the Fire Chief shall receive $550.00 per month for a Bachelor’s degree or $750.00 per month for a Master’s degree.
C. In an effort to maintain equality with subordinate classifications, the Police Chief shall receive $700.00 for a Bachelor’s degree or $950.00 per month for a Master’s degree.

This form of pay, also referred to as “Educational Pay”, shall be reported to CalPERS as special compensation, and is therefore compensation earnable for Classic Members pursuant to CalPERS Regulations, Section 571(a)(2), and pensionable compensation for New Members pursuant to CalPERS Regulations, Section 571.1(b)(2).
SECTION 11. INCENTIVE PAY PLAN.
The City Manager may, for the employees covered by this Resolution, put into effect an incentive pay plan, the terms and conditions of which shall be at the City Manager’s full discretion.
SECTION 12. PROMOTION.
When an employee is promoted to a position in a higher classification, the employee may be assigned to the step in the new salary range which provides for at least a five percent (5.0%) increase. With the approval of the Department Head and Human Resources Director, the employee may be placed in the step in the new salary range as will grant the employee an increase of at least one, but not more than three salary steps.
210
5 SECTION 13. DEMOTION.
When an employee is demoted to a position in a lower classification, the salary rate shall be fixed in the appropriate salary range for the lower classification in accordance with the following provisions:
A. The salary rate shall be reduced by at least one (1) step.
B. The new salary rate must be within the salary range for the classification to which the employee was demoted.
SECTION 14. REASSIGNMENT OF COMPENSATION RANGES.
Any employee who is employed in a classification which is assigned to a different pay range shall be retained in the same salary step in the new range as the employee previously held in the prior range, and shall retain credit for length of service in such step toward advancement to the next higher step; provided, however:
A. That if such retention results in the advancement of more than one (1) step, the Human Resources Director may at the time of reassignment, place the employee in a step which will result in an increase of only one step.
B. That if the reassignment is to a lower compensation range, the F step of which is lower than the existing rate of pay at the time of reassignment, the employee shall continue to be paid at the existing rate of pay until such time as the position is reassigned to a compensation schedule which will allow for further salary advancement, or until such time as the employee is promoted to a position assigned to a higher compensation range.
C. That if the reassignment is to a lower compensation range, the F step of which is higher than the existing rate of pay, the employee shall be placed in that step of the lower compensation range which is equivalent to the existing rate of pay, and shall retain credit for length of service previously acquired in such step toward advancement to the next higher step. If there is no equivalent step, the employee shall be placed in the step which is closest to, but not less than, the employee’s current salary step.
SECTION 15. AT-WILL STATUS.
Members of Top Management serve at the pleasure of the City Manager, with the exception of those members within the City Attorney’s Office who serve at the pleasure of the City Attorney. Consideration for advancement, reduction, demotion, termination, or reassignment shall be at the initiation of the City Manager or City Attorney, as applicable, and in accordance with the Orange Municipal Code. In addition, all employees covered by this Resolution are employed at-will and serve in accordance with Title 2 of the Orange Municipal Code.
SECTION 16. ACTING TIME PAY.
An employee shall receive acting time pay, as further defined below, at A Step of the higher class, or five percent (5.0%) above the employee's regular salary, whichever is greater, for work performed in the higher classification. The Department Head or the authorized designee shall assign the employee to work out of classification but shall notify the Human Resources Director prior to the assignment. 211
6 A. Temporary Upgrade Pay. When an employee is working out of classification due to an incumbent’s approved leave of absence, said employee shall receive a Temporary Upgrade Pay premium. Temporary Upgrade Pay, as defined by California Code of Regulations 571(a)(3), is “compensation to employees who are required by their employer or governing board or body to work in an upgraded position/classification of limited duration.” The above form of compensation shall be reported to CalPERS as special compensation and therefore compensation earnable. However, Temporary Upgrade Pay will not be reported to CalPERS as pensionable compensation for New Members hired on or after January 1, 2013, as defined by the Public Employees’ Pension Reform Act of 2013 (PEPRA).
B. Out-of-Class Appointment. Out-of-class appointments shall only be made for positions vacated due to voluntary resignation, promotion, demotion or termination. Gov. Code section 20480 of the Public Employees' Retirement Law (PERL) defines an “out-of-class appointment” to mean an appointment to an upgraded position or higher classification by an employer or governing board or body in a vacant position for a limited duration. For purposes of this section, a “vacant position” refers to a position that is vacant during recruitment for a permanent appointment. A vacant position does not refer to a position that is temporarily available due to another employee's leave of absence (see “Temporary Upgrade Pay” above).
SECTION 17. ADMINISTRATIVE LEAVE.
Employees covered by this Resolution are exempt from Fair Labor Standards Act overtime provisions as executive, administrative, and professional employees. This Resolution establishes a pay system which provides all covered employees with sick leave and other leave which covered employees use for purposes of public accountability.

E. Usage of administrative leave shall be at the convenience of the City with the approval of the respective Department Head or City Manager.
F. All administrative leave shall accrue January 1st of each year.
G. Annually, unused administrative leave at the end of the calendar year, and upon retiring from City service and entering CalPERS as a retired annuitant shall be deposited in the employee’s Retirement Health Savings Plan account as described in Section 24(C). 212
7 H. Unused administrative leave upon separation for reasons other than retirement shall be forfeited.

Employees hired after January 1st of each year shall receive a prorated portion of the 22.5 floating holiday hours during their first calendar year of employment. The floating holiday hours shall be taken at the convenience of the City with the approval of the City Manager or the Department Head.
Unused floating holiday hours at the end of the calendar year or upon separation from City service shall be deposited in the employee’s Retirement Health Savings Plan account as described in Section 24(C).
B. Holidays on Certain Days of the Week. In the event any of the above holidays, except Christmas Eve, fall on a Sunday, the following day will be taken in lieu of the actual date on which the holiday falls. When any of the above holidays fall on a Saturday, except Christmas Eve, the preceding Friday will be taken in lieu of the actual date on which the holiday falls.
When any of the above holidays falls on an employee’s regularly scheduled day off during the week, except Christmas Eve, employees will be credited with nine (9) hours (ten (10) hours for employees assigned to the Fire and Police Departments) of holiday compensatory time.
Accumulated holiday compensatory time must be used by the employee by June 30th of the same fiscal year in which it was accumulated. Unused holiday compensatory time shall be paid in cash to an employee upon separation of employment.
C. Eligibility to Receive Holiday Pay. In order to be eligible to receive holiday pay, an employee must have worked, or be deemed to have worked because of an approved absence, the employee's regularly scheduled day before and regularly scheduled day after the holiday.
Newly hired employees are provided with and are eligible to use floating holiday and fixed holiday hours, according to the guidelines established in this Section, and/or with approval of the Human Resources Director.

3) Seasonal employees shall be those employees who are scheduled in the budget to work on less than a year-round basis regardless of hours worked.
B. Entitlement to Fringe Benefits Based Upon Proration of Hours. Regular part-time employees shall receive fringe benefits in proportion to the number of hours an employee is scheduled to work to the normal 40-hour week on an annual basis.
The annual schedule for all eligible part-time employees shall be the schedule which is included in the City's approved budget or a schedule which is designated by Management at the commencement of the employee's employment with the City. This formula of proration shall apply to holiday pay, vacation, sick leave, flexible benefit contribution, disability insurance contribution, money purchase retirement plan, and CalPERS retirement contribution.
Regular part-time employees may receive step increases provided they have performed 2080 hours of service.
C. Temporary and seasonal employees shall be entitled to receive no fringe benefits provided for in the resolution or in any resolution of the City unless otherwise required by law. 215
10 SECTION 21. LEAVES OF ABSENCE.
A. Leave of Absence Without Pay. For all regular employees as described herein, the following Leave Without Pay procedure shall apply:
1) After all available leave benefits, including vacation, administrative leave, floating holiday, compensatory time, sick leave, and other leave benefits have been completely used, a regular employee, not under suspension, may make written application to the Department Head for leave without pay or benefits. No such leave will be considered absent a written application from the employee requesting leave. 2) If the Department Head and the Human Resources Director agree that such leave is merited and in the interest of the City, leave may be granted for a period not to exceed six (6) months following the date of expiration of all other allowable leave benefits.
The employee shall not be continued “in service” as that term is defined in this Resolution.
3) No employment or fringe benefits such as sick leave, vacation, health insurance, retirement, or any other benefits shall accrue to any employee on leave of absence without pay except as denoted under Section 21(I). During such leave in excess of five (5) working days, no seniority shall be accumulated.
4) Subject to and consistent with the conditions of the group health, life or disability plan, coverage may be continued during a leave, provided direct payment of the total premium by the employee is made through and as prescribed by the Payroll Division.
The City will pay up to six (6) months of the Flexible Benefit Plan contribution for employees who are on long term disability leave.
5) At the end of any approved leave, if the employee desires additional leave, written application must be made through the Department Head to the Human Resources Director at least ten (10) days before the end of the approved leave, stating the reasons why the additional leave is required and why it would be in the best interests of the City to grant such leave of absence. If such additional leave is merited and would still preserve the best interests of the City, the Human Resources Director may approve such extension of the leave of absence for a period up to, but not to exceed, an additional six (6) months.
6) If the employee does not return to work prior to or at the end of such leave of absence or extension of leave of absence, the employee shall be considered as having abandoned their employment with the City and shall be terminated. 7) An employee on leave of absence must give the City at least seven (7) days’ written notice of their intent to return to work prior to returning to work. 8) Any employee who engages in outside employment during said leave of absence without prior notification and approval of the Human Resources Director and Department Head may be subject to termination.
216
11 9) Any employee who falsifies the reason for the request for said leave of absence may be terminated.
10) Such leave shall be granted on the same basis for pregnancy, childbirth, and other medically related conditions, except that such an employee shall retain their seniority rights.
11) Forms setting forth the benefits available or such other pertinent information shall be maintained for distribution in the Human Resources Department. 12) The City Manager will allow an employee to take a leave of absence without pay during a City Hall holiday closure without having to exhaust all accrued leave benefits on the books. During said closure, employees will not see a reduction in benefits, including no loss of eligibility for holiday pay, if Leave Without Pay hours are used during the closure (i.e. the day after Christmas and/or working day before the New Year’s day.) B. Jury Duty and Services as Witness for City. When required to serve on a jury, all employees shall be provided with paid time off for a period of actual service required on the jury, provided all jury fees paid to the individual employee, less allowed automobile expenses, are turned over to the City. Once an employee has completed jury service, the employee must provide the Certificate of Jury Service to the immediate supervisor to qualify for jury duty compensation. If an employee is called as a witness on behalf of the City, the employee shall receive their normal pay for the time spent by the employee serving as a witness for the City.
An employee shall be required to pay any witness fees that accrue to the employee for witness service to the City as a condition of receiving normal pay while serving as a witness for the City. Any exceptions to this provision must meet the approval of the Human Resources Director.
C. Military Leave of Absence. If an employee is deployed or required to attend military training, the employee shall be entitled to military leave of absence under the provisions of Federal and State law, including Uniformed Services Employment and Re-employment Rights Act (USERRA) and the Military and Veterans' Code. Employees must provide a copy of their military orders, and Leave and Earnings Statements (LES) if requested, to the Human Resources Department to qualify for a military leave of absence. Any exceptions to this provision shall be considered on a case-by-case basis, with final approval of the Human Resources Director.

5) Any employee eligible for sick leave with pay may use such leave for the following reasons:
(a) Medical and dental office appointments during work hours when authorized by the Department Head or a duly authorized designee; and/or (b) Personal illness or physical incapacity resulting from causes beyond the employee's control, in addition to pregnancy, childbirth, and other medically related conditions.
6) Sick Leave Application. Sick leave may be applied only to absence caused by illness or injury of an employee and may not extend to absence caused by illness or injury of a member of the employee's family except as provided for in Subsection E below. 7) Sick Leave Charged. In any instance involving use of a fraction of a day's sick leave, the minimum charged to the employee's sick leave account shall be one-quarter (¼) hour, while additional actual absence of over one-quarter (¼) hour shall be charged to the nearest one-half (½) hour. Sick leave shall only be used for the purposes stated and the Department Head shall be responsible for control of employee abuse of the sick leave privilege.
Employees may, upon prior notice and in the complete discretion of the Department Head, be required to furnish a certificate issued by a licensed physician or nurse or other satisfactory written evidence of any subsequent illness. 8) Sick Leave Payout Program. Unused sick leave shall be paid off according to the following:
(a) Employees with sick leave usage of 0.0 to 27.0 hours per payroll calendar year will have the option to convert 40 hours of their unused sick leave to vacation in the first pay period of the following payroll calendar year. (b) Employees with sick leave usage of 27.25 to 36.0 hours per payroll calendar year may convert 30 hours of unused sick leave to vacation the following year. (c) Employees must have a minimum balance of 180 hours of sick leave, combining both sick leave banks, available after conversion. In addition, no hours will be converted to vacation if said conversion places the employee’s vacation bank over the maximum allowable accrual. Conversion of sick leave to vacation shall occur in the first pay period of the following payroll calendar year based upon sick leave usage during the previous payroll calendar year. (d) Any sick leave converted to vacation shall be subject to the provisions described in Section 19. The employee must file a sick leave payout designation form each year, if eligible for the conversion of unused sick leave to vacation. If no designation form is filed, the hours will automatically remain in the employee's 218
13 new sick leave accumulation account. Employees shall still be subject to the maximum vacation accrual at any given time equivalent to 24 months’ worth of accrued hours. Any request to convert which exceeds the maximum vacation accrual allotted shall not be converted to vacation and shall remain in the employee’s sick leave bank.
(e) Upon retirement from employment with the City and entering CalPERS as a retired annuitant, an employee with a minimum of five (5) years of continuous service to the City shall receive pay for 50% of all unused sick leave hours. The cash value of this unused sick leave payout will be deposited into the employee’s Retirement Health Savings Plan account, as described in Section 24(C).
(f) Upon separation of employment from the City for any reason, other than retirement as noted in the preceding paragraph an employee shall receive no pay for the first 100 hours (0 to 100 hours) of accrued sick leave, but shall receive 25% pay for up to the next 100 hours, (101 to 200 hours) of accrued sick leave, and 50% pay of any remaining sick leave (201 to 352 hours). No pay shall be received for any accruals higher than 352 hours. (g) Upon the death of an employee while employed by the City, 100% of all accrued sick leave benefits up to 352 hours shall be paid to the beneficiary of the deceased employee. Payment will be made when proper authorization for payment is received from the estate of the deceased employee.
E. Family Leave. In accordance with the California Family Sick Leave and Paid Sick Leave Acts, an employee is allowed up to forty-eight (48) hours of family leave per calendar year for family illness which shall be charged against the employee's accumulated sick leave. Family as used in this subsection is limited to any relation by blood, marriage or adoption who is a member of the employee’s household (under the same roof); and any parent, substitute parent, parent-inlaw, spouse, registered domestic partner, child, brother, sister, grandchild or grandparent of the employee, regardless of residence. Part-time benefited employees are allowed to use up to one-half of their annual accrual of sick leave for family leave purposes.
F. Bereavement Leave. Regular full-time employees shall be entitled to take up to five (5) days of paid City bereavement leave per incident. The following terms and conditions apply:
1) Bereavement leave may only be used upon the death or critical illness where death appears to be imminent of the employee's immediate family.

2) Days of absence due to bereavement leave shall not exceed five (5) working days per incident and shall not be deducted from the employee's accumulated sick leave. An employee on bereavement leave shall inform the immediate supervisor of the fact and the reasons therefor as soon as possible. Failure to inform the immediate supervisor 219
14 within a reasonable period of time may be cause for denial of bereavement leave with pay for the period of absence.
G. Workers’ Compensation Leave for Safety Employees. For the classifications of Fire Chief and Police Chief, salary continuance, including Labor Code Section 4850 leave, will be provided in accordance with current State Workers’ Compensation laws and regulations.
H. Workers’ Compensation Leave for Non-Safety Employees. For the remaining classifications described in Appendices A and B herein, Workers’ Compensation leave shall be granted as follows:
1) A regular employee shall be granted temporary disability leave in accordance with the current State Workers’ Compensation laws and regulations. When a City employee is entitled to receive temporary disability payments, the City will contribute additional compensation to allow the employee to receive 100% of their regular rate of pay, or provide full salary continuance, for the first 365 days starting from the date of injury.
Temporary disability leave in excess of 365 days will be provided subject to current State Workers’ Compensation laws and regulations.
2) Should it be determined by the employee’s doctor, or an agreed doctor by both parties, or an Administrative Law Judge through the Workers’ Compensation Appeals Board that an employee's illness or injury did not arise in the course of the employee's employment with the City and/or that the employee is not temporarily incapacitated, then the employee's accrued, or if insufficient, future sick leave, shall be charged to reimburse the City for any payments made to the employee pursuant to above. 3) An employee receiving benefits pursuant to Workers’ Compensation Temporary Disability will continue to receive the City’s contribution to the employee’s medical, dental, vision and other applicable insurances. All authorized deductions will continue as though the employee is on regular work status. If the employee has exhausted Temporary Disability benefits, the employee shall be responsible for paying the full premium for the employee’s medical, dental, vision, and other applicable insurances. 4) Temporary Disability leave shall expire when the first of any of the following conditions occur:
(a) The employee is able to return to work and assume the duties of the regular position.
(b) The employee is able to return to work to another position designated by the City.
(c) The day before the employee is retired or separated for disability. The employee's "retirement date" shall be determined by CalPERS. 5) Before a work-related injury, an employee may elect to pre-designate a qualified medical provider if done in accordance with Workers’ Compensation laws and regulations.
220
15 I. Family Care and Medical Leave (FCML). State and Federal laws require the City to provide family and medical care leave for eligible employees. The following provisions set forth employees' and employer's rights and obligations with respect to such leave. Rights and obligations which are not specifically set forth below are set forth in the Department of Labor regulations implementing the Federal Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 (FMLA) and the regulations of the California Fair Employment and Housing Commission implementing the California Family Rights Act (CFRA) (Government Code Section 12945.2). Unless otherwise provided, "Leave" under this article shall mean leave pursuant to the FMLA and CFRA. An employee's request for leave is subject to review and final approval of the Human Resources Director.
1) Amount of Leave. Eligible employees are entitled to a total of 12 work weeks of leave during any 12-month period. An employee's entitlement to leave for the birth or placement of a child for adoption or foster care expires 12 months after the birth or placement.
The 12-month period for calculating leave entitlement will be a "rolling period" measured backward from the date leave is taken and continues with each additional leave day taken. Thus, whenever an employee requests leave, the City will look back over the previous 12-month period to determine how much leave has been used in determining how much leave a member is entitled to.
2) Use of Other Accrued Leaves While on Leave. If an employee requests leave for any reason permitted under the law, the employee must exhaust all accrued leaves (except sick leave) in connection with the leave. This includes vacation, holiday, and other compensatory accruals. If an employee requests leave for the employee’s own serious health condition, in addition to exhausting accrued leave, the employee must also exhaust sick leave. The exhaustion of accrued leave will run concurrently with the Family Care and Medical Leave.
3) Required Forms. Employees must fill out required forms, available in the Human Resources Department, including: Request for Family or Medical Leave; Medical Certification; Authorization for Payroll Deductions for benefit plan coverages (if applicable); and Fitness-for-Duty to return from leave.

B. Flexible Benefits Plan. The City shall provide a Section 125 Flexible Benefits Plan for active full-time and part-time eligible employees and pay the following monthly amounts to provide funds for optional health plans, dental plans, vision plans, health care reimbursement, dependent care, or cash as established by the Internal Revenue Service. The following amounts 221
16 include the minimum amount required under PEMCHA, which is $157.00 per month ($158.00 for 2025). This contribution shall be adjusted annually on January 1 st to the amount set by the
CalPERS Board of Administration.

Additionally, an employee may choose not to be enrolled in the Health Benefits Plan. If an employee chooses to not be enrolled in the health plan, the employee must provide proof, as determined by the Human Resources Director, that comparable medical insurance is in full force and effect. Based on determination that insurance is in full force and effect, eligible employees shall receive the amount designated below.
1) Employees who were members of Top Management on or before December 31, 2020, OR have a hire date prior to July 1, 2019 (with the exception of the Police Chief and Fire Chief), shall receive indefinitely a capped fixed amount towards the Flexible Benefit Plan as follows: Executive Management shall receive $2,265.00 per month, and members of Senior Management shall receive $1,955.00 per month. 2) Employees in the classifications of Police Chief or Fire Chief with a hire date prior to March 29, 2020, shall receive indefinitely a capped fixed amount of $2,265.00 per month towards the Flexible Benefit Plan.

In the event the employee loses eligibility (with documentation), the employee must enroll in the CalPERS Health Benefits Plan pursuant to their rules and regulations. Failure to do so within sixty (60) days, shall result in the City seeking reimbursement of said contributions.

A. Life Insurance.
1) For Executive Management, the City shall contribute the full premium towards a $200,000.00 life insurance benefit.

B. Educational Assistance. The City will reimburse employees for the cost of tuition, textbooks, parking fees, and health fees required for approved community college and college courses, as well as job-required licensing, testing, renewal, and registration fees.

City Attorney Winthers retired from the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) on March 7, 2019.
CalPERS recognizes that retirees play an important role in maintaining city operations and keeping cities safe, particularly in short-term or emergency situations. Government Code Section 21221(h) provides specific guidance on employing a CalPERS retiree that will serve in a vacant executive, managerial or other unique position, such as City Manager, City Attorney, and other Department Heads without interruption to retirement benefits or reinstatement from retirement.

Heads without interruption to retirement benefits or reinstatement from retirement. Government Code 21221(h) requires that the City Council expressly authorize the appointment of a retired annuitant to an interim vacant position.
Conditions within Government Code Section 21221(h) include:
· City Council appointment to a vacant position in the form of a resolution or contract; · The vacant position requires a specialized skillset and being recruited for permanent appointment;
· Appointment must be for a limited duration of no more than 960 hours in a fiscal year; · The retired annuitant must be compensated within the approved salary schedule for the position and cannot receive any additional rights or benefits; and · The retired annuitant can only be appointed once to a vacant position.
The City has a critical and time-sensitive need for Wayne W. Winthers to work for the City on a temporary basis after his retirement from full-time employment status. The City is in the process of recruiting for a new permanent City Attorney; however, staff anticipates there will be a gap of at least two to three months, possibly longer before the appointment of a new permanent City Attorney.
During this interim period, the City needs a qualified individual with a specialized skillset to continue to perform all essential functions of the position without interruption, at the retired hourly rate of $150.00 per hour, with no other rights or benefits, incentives, or other compensation in lieu of benefits, or any other forms of compensation to be provided during the appointment. Wayne W.
Winthers’ employment will end when a permanent replacement is appointed by the City Council and he will not exceed 960 hours worked in a fiscal year. All parties understand that the appointment to the Interim City Attorney position may only happen once.

Strategic plans are often the culmination of different, and at times, competing factors. On the one hand, effective strategic plans should identify clear goals and objectives that an agency intends to accomplish over a defined period. On the other hand, strategic plans should be flexible, avoiding a sole focus on the City’s immediate needs. This suggests that effective strategic plans are holistically constructed, reflecting a considered understanding of short and long-term needs, as well as the changing conditions that often drive the City’s focus and circumstances.
With Kelly Associates Management Group’s assistance, the City developed and adopted the Fiscal Year 2025-2030 Citywide Strategic Plan (Plan) on November 26, 2024. The Plan is intended to be a “living document,” adaptable and open to change as conditions call for its amendment. Annual Plan updates are envisioned to occur each January, and the Plan’s adoption included a commitment to provide quarterly updates to the City Council and public thereby fostering progress and accountability.
The quarterly Plan updates include the Goal Action Plan with an additional column on the right hand side. This new column is entitled with the day that the respective updates are brought forward for City Council review. Although the Goal Action Plan is not an exhaustive objective list, it represents significant projects that will help the City take steps to achieve the six overarching community goals. Going forward, staff will continue to modify and update this column so the City may show which objectives have been completed, where progress has been made, and where the City is experiencing delays.

ECONOMIC UPDATE

▪

▪
Recent economic data suggests continued growth fueled by a resilient consumer. Inflationary trends have subsided, but some components remain sticky, and core levels remain above the Fed’s target. The labor market reflects improved balance between supply and demand for workers. While job creation has been robust, continuing jobless claims remain elevated. Given the economic outlook, we expect gradual normalization of monetary policy and a steepening yield curve.
As broadly anticipated, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) reduced the Fed Funds Rate by 25 basis points to the range of 4.25-
4.50% at the December meeting. Although the cut was widely anticipated, market participants viewed the trajectory of rates in the SEP as ‘hawkish.’ Chair Jerome Powell reiterated previous statements indicating the economy is in a good place and that monetary policy is well positioned. The Fed released the quarterly Summary of Economic Projections (SEP), which now forecasts a higher central tendency of core inflation and a higher longer run Fed Funds forecast. In the Chandler team’s view, the updated SEP reflects the continued resiliency of the US economy and the corresponding risk of inflation taking longer to reach the FOMC’s two percent objective in 2025.
US Treasury yields shifted higher in December and the curve steepened. The 2-year Treasury yield increased 9 basis points to 4.24%, the 5- year Treasury rose 33 basis points to 4.38%, and the 10-year Treasury yield surged 40 basis points to 4.57%. The spread between the 2-year and 10-year Treasury yield points on the curve increased to +33 basis points at December month-end versus +2 basis points at November month-end. The spread between the 2-year Treasury and 10-year Treasury yield one year ago was -37 basis points. The spread between the 3-month and 10-year Treasury yield points on the curve increased to +25 basis points in December from -32 basis points in November.

The U.S. economy added 256,000 jobs in December, far exceeding consensus expectations. Gains were led by health care, retail, and leisure sectors, while manufacturing shed jobs. The three-month moving average and six-month moving average payrolls totaled 170,000 and 165,000 respectively. The unemployment rate declined to 4.1% in December, and the labor participation rate was unchanged at
62.5%, remaining below the pre-pandemic level of 63.3%. The U-6 underemployment rate, which includes those who are marginally attached to the labor force and employed part time for economic reasons fell to 7.5%. Average hourly earnings moderated to an increase of 3.9% year-over-year in December.

The Core CPI, which excludes volatile food and energy components, rose 0.2% month-over-month and 3.2% year-over-year, slowing from last month and coming in lower than consensus expectations. The Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Index rose 0.1% from the previous month and 2.4% year-over-year in November versus a 2.3% increase in October. The Core PCE deflator (the Fed’s preferred gauge) increased 0.1% month-over-month, below recent small month-over-month rises and 2.8% over the past year. Core prices are exhibiting what Fed Chair Powell describes as “sideways” movement. Although inflation has moderated, price increases remain above the Fed’s 2% target.

December Retail Sales advanced broadly, providing evidence of a solid pace of consumer spending in the holiday season. Retail Sales rose 0.4% in December, after an increase of 0.8% in November and below the consensus expectation of 0.6%. Spending was solid for motor vehicles and non-store retailers, as well as for most other categories associated with the winter holidays. On a year-over-year basis, Retail Sales grew 3.9% in December versus 4.1% in November. The Retail Sales Control Group, which are used to calculate gross domestic product, increased 0.7% in December, the most in three months, exceeding expectations of 0.4%. The Conference Board’s Consumer Confidence Index declined to 104.7 in December from an upwardly revised 112.8 in November. Consumers' assessment about future business conditions and outcomes were substantially less optimistic and there was increased pessimism about future employment prospects. While the consumer has been resilient, low savings rates, growing credit card debt, higher delinquencies, and a moderating labor market pose potential risks to future spending.

The Conference Board’s Leading Economic Index (LEI) dipped 0.1% in December, losing some momentum following November's upwardly revised 0.4% increase. The LEI decreased year-over-year by -3.0%. While low consumer confidence and weak manufacturing activity led to the decline, the Conference Board still expects moderately strong growth for 2025. The Chicago Fed National Activity Index (CFNAI) improved to 0.15 in December from an upwardly revised -0.01 in November, posting its first positive reading since May 2024. The threemonth moving average rose to -0.13 in December from -0.26 in November, indicating below-trend growth expectations for the economy.

Housing starts surged by 15.8% in December to 1.5 million units after declining in the prior three months. Total starts are down 4.4% compared to December 2023. The supply of existing homes is gradually becoming more abundant after the period of scarcity as homeowners held onto their low mortgage rates. The Freddie Mac 30-year fixed rate mortgage averaged approximately 6.7% in December. According to the Case-Shiller 20-City Home Price Index, housing prices rose 4.2% year-over-year in October, decelerating from
4.6% reported in the previous month. With more inventory entering the market the trend is gradually improving; however higher mortgage rates continue to impact affordability.

The Institute for Supply Management (ISM) Manufacturing index rose more than forecast to 49.3 in December from 48.4 in November.
While the index has posted contractionary readings for the past nine months, New Orders and Prices indices continued in expansion territory and the Production Index returned to expansion this month. The Backlog of Orders Index and Employment Index remained in contraction. The ISM Services Index rose to 54.1 in December from 52.1 in November while marking the sixth straight month of expansion.
Robust business activity ahead of the new year and mitigating risks of potential tariffs were the key drivers. A reading over 50 indicates expansion, while a reading under 50 indicates contraction.

Growth continues to be powered by personal consumption expenditures. Government consumption expenditures and nonresidential fixed investment also had positive contributions, with negative offsets by net exports, residential investment, and change in private inventories. The consensus projection calls for 2.4% growth in the fourth quarter and 2.7% growth for the full year 2024.

As broadly anticipated, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) reduced the Fed Funds Rate by 25 basis points to the range of 4.25-
4.50% at the December meeting. There was one dissenting vote by Cleveland Fed President Beth Hammack who would have preferred no change in rates. Although a reduction in rates was widely anticipated, market participants viewed the trajectory of rates in the SEP as ‘hawkish.’ Chair Jerome Powell reiterated previous statements that monetary policy is “well positioned” and the outlook remains roughly balanced between the dual mandate of maximum employment and price stability. Economic activity is expanding at a solid pace, labor market conditions have “generally eased”, and the unemployment rate “remains low.” The Fed released the quarterly Summary of Economic Projections (SEP) which now forecasts a higher, longer run median Fed Funds rate expectation among Fed Governors at 2.8 –
3.6%. The Fed continues to reduce its holdings of U.S. Treasury securities and agency mortgage-backed securities as per its predefined schedule of $25 billion and $35 billion per month. Since the Fed began its Quantitative Tightening campaign in June 2022, securities holdings have declined by approximately $1.9T to approximately $7.0T.
