CITY OF OROVILLE

STAFF REPORT
TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: BILL LAGRONE, CITY ADMINISTRATOR
RE: PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY

OF OROVILLE AND TOM LANDO CONSULTING
DATE: JUNE 21, 2022

SUMMARY
The City Council will consider an agreement with Tom Lando Consulting for professional consulting services for annexation projects and building expediting development services, and for executive leadership as needed for the duration of this amendment.

DISCUSSION:

The City has several projects that are in process related to annexation and housing.

The City is required to have a current Municipal Services review and a Development Impact Fee study. The Municipal Services Review is necessary to any additional annexation. The Study assess the City’s ability to provide services to any additional areas the City may wish to annex. Without the Municipal Services Review, the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCo), will not approve any annexations.

The City is currently in process to update our Development Impact Fee Study. This study will assess the Development Impact Fees that are collect during development.

The Study will determine if the fee is to high, to low or is adequate to meet current and future needs caused by the development. This study is required every five years to validate the fees collected and charged. Without a current study the City cannot charge the fees and development cannot occur without causing catastrophic impacts on the General fund.

The City Council gave direction to study the potential annexation of the Thermalito area.

This work is expected to continue through the next 18 months. Once the work is completed the City Council will be presented with options and provide Staff further direction.

The City Council has previously expressed a desire to pursue both Affordable and Market rate housing projects. In order to do this the studies mentioned previously in this 94 Item 2.

Page 2 ends

report must be completed.

All of these items are currently being managed through the process by Lando.

It has recently become necessary for Lando to fill in as the Executive Leader of this Organization. Due to difficulties in hiring at other leaderships roles the City Administrator has been reassigned full time to the Police Department. This leaves the City Administrator duties unattended. Lando will fill this role until such time as the City Administrator is able to return to his duties full time.

To keep Mr. Lando working on these projects and provide Executive Leadership, it is necessary to enter into an agreement extension. Mr. Lando will manage all aspects of completion of the Development Impact Fee Study and the Municipal Services Review.

The term of the agreement will be for 36 months beginning in July 2022. The amount per hour of the agreement is $150.00 per hour in an amount not to exceed $117,000.00 per fiscal year. Funding for this is contained within the City Administrators budget.

CITY OF OROVILLE

STAFF REPORT
TO: MAYOR REYNOLDS AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: DAWN NEVERS, DEPUTY COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR RE: SR 162 ATP PROJECT – CONSULTANT AMENDMENT NO.2 FOR

DESIGN AND SUPPORT SERVICES
DATE: JUNE 21, 2022

SUMMARY
The Council will consider a design contract amendment for the SR 162 ATP Project to complete additional survey, signal modifications, City requested fiber optic conduit crossing (Oro Dam Hwy at 5th Ave), and additional drainage design required by the project impacts to the corridor. This additional work is required to complete project as defined under the ATP and BTA grants and its impacts to adjacent properties. The original design contract also requires an extension to December of 2023.

DISCUSSION
The work outlined in the attached scope of work is a follow up to the staff report and presentation given at the April 6, 2021 City Council Meeting and Amendment No.1 authorized at the June 15, 2021 Council Meeting. At the April 6, 2021 meeting, City Council approved the authorization of Local Transportation Funds to support the additional studies and right-of-way required to complete the project.

Summary of project design budget and amendments:

Contract Cost
Original Contract $580,000*
Amendment No.1 – ROW additional design $330,742
Amendment No. 2 – Design Mods (Pending) $88,518
Total Contract $999,260
City Funded Contract portion (Local
Transportation Fund)
$412,260
*CMAQ and ATP Grant Reimbursable
108
Item 3.

Page 2 ends

The project grant was pursued by the City in 2015 and awarded under ATP Cycle 3 through the California Transportation Commission (CTC) and Caltrans. Capacity Management and Air Quality (CMAQ) grant is also allocated to cover the design cost. All together the project grants provide for $3,951,000 to design, construct, and manage a contractor to implement bicycle, pedestrian, and mobility improvements from Feather River Park, west of Hwy 70 to Foothill Blvd, along SR 162. This includes sidewalk closures, pedestrian crossings, bike lanes, and pedestrian signal improvements along the corridor.

The project also incorporated an older Bicycle Transportation Account (BTA) Grant that included bike lane striping and signage for 2.7 miles of Class II bike-lane from Hwy 70 to Orange Avenue along Oro Dam Blvd East. A portion of that grant ($61,528) was used to supplement the design of the ATP/BTA combined project.

The project design was awarded to a consultant, Mark Thomas (MT), in December of 2019.

MT progressed the design to a 30% level and identified some gaps in the project as defined in the ATP application and scope and the additional work was authorized by City Council in June 2021. The project design has advanced to the 95% level and additional design effort is needed to address drainage, signal modifications, additional survey, and provide fiber optic conduit crossing of SR-162 at th5th Avenue as requested by the City.

Unfortunately, the grant money provided does not address these design issues and the money allocated under ATP cannot be used for this purpose. The additional cost will have to be provided by the local sponsor, the City of Oroville.

The work in the attached scope and fee will allow the Consultant to complete the design and issue the project for bid and construction in 2022/2023.

FISCAL IMPACT
$88,518 from the Local Transportation Fund.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approving the amendment for Mark Thomas and extending the contract end date to December 31, 2023.

PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
This scope of work has been prepared to cover additional work that was not anticipated with the base scope of the original contract. The additional activities needed include additional signal modifications, additional topographic surveys, and additional design time needed to accommodate drainage facilities that were not identified in the preliminary design or the SR 162 Corridor Plan.

Signal Modifications and Lighting Design – The original scope of work assumed signal modification at SR 162/Feather River Blvd as optional tasks. After developing the sidewalk plans, signal modification at the intersections of Olive Hwy with Foothill Blvd and the intersection of Oro Dam Blvd with Bridge Street needs to be included. At the request of the City, conduit for future fiber optic cable at SR 162/5th Avenue will be included in the plans. This scope includes additional labor to design for Y&C Transportation.

Topographic Surveys – The original scope of work included topographic data provided by the City. Mark Thomas gathered supplemental survey along Oro Dam Blvd between Hwy 70 southbound ramps and Feather River Blvd, along Olive Hwy between Lower Wyandotte Rd and Foothill Blvd including approximately 430 LF along Lower Wyandotte Rd., and approximately 100 LF along Lincoln St. in the City of Oroville. After completion of 65% plans, was concluded that this data was insufficient in completing the design for the sidewalk, curb ramp and drainage improvements along SR162 and Olive Hwy. Additional survey data is necessary for completing grading and earthwork calculations for the proposed pedestrian facilities. Additional l topographic data will be required along Oro Dam Blvd (SR-162) at the existing southern box culvert, along Olive Hwy between Executive Pkwy and Lower Wyandotte Rd, and at the intersection of Olive Hwy & Foothill Blvd.

Additional Design – The SR 162 corridor plan assumed no new drainage network would be designed along Olive Hwy.

After developing the sidewalk plans in more detail, new drainage inlet network needs to be included to catch off-site runoff, which currently flows into the roadside earth ditch. This scope includes additional labor to perform the drainage design and perform the necessary topographic surveys.

This is not the only way to estimate salary increases. Other methods will be accepted if they clearly indicate the % increase, the # of years of the contract, and a breakdown of the labor to be performed each year.

An estimation that is based on direct labor multiplied by salary increase % multiplied by the # of years is not acceptable. (i.e. $250,000 x 2% x 5 yrs = $25,000 is not an acceptable methodology).

This assumes that one year will be worked at the rate on the cost proposal before salary increases are granted. 118

This is not the only way to estimate salary increases. Other methods will be accepted if they clearly indicate the % increase, the # of years of the contract, and a breakdown of the labor to be performed each year.

An estimation that is based on direct labor multiplied by salary increase % multiplied by the # of years is not acceptable. (i.e. $250,000 x 2% x 5 yrs = $25,000 is not an acceptable methodology) This assumes that one year will be worked at the rate on the cost proposal before salary increases are granted.

CITY OF OROVILLE

STAFF REPORT
TO: MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: MATT THOMPSON, PE, ACTING CITY ENGINEER, PUBLIC WORKS

DEPARTMENT
RE: PAVEMENT REHABILITATION LIST FOR SUBMITTAL TO CALIFORNIA

TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION (CTC) FOR FUNDING COMPLIANCE
DATE: JUNE 21, 2022

SUMMARY
The Council may consider adopting the attached resolution and authorize the City Engineer and Financial Director to submit a list of prioritized roads and streets for rehabilitation to the CTC for compliance with CTC guidelines. The CTC requires the submittal for the City to be eligible for additional funding under Senate Bill 1 (SB 1) and Assembly Bill 135 (AB 135).

DISCUSSION
The Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 (SB1 Beall) includes a substantial boost in Local Streets and Roads Funding over the Highway Users Tax Account allocations that cities and counties have been receiving. The Act establishes a new Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) in the state treasury and allocates amounts to cities and counties from that account based on statutory formulas.

The Road Repair and Accountability Act contains a local agency maintenance of effort (MOE) requirement that applies to funds allocated through the RMRA. The Act states that the MOE requirement is to ensure that these new roads funds do not supplant existing levels of city and county general revenue spending on streets and roads. The MOE for the receipt of RMRA funds state that a city or county must maintain general fund spending for street, road, and highway purposes at no less than average of 2009– 10, 2010–11, and 2011–12 years. In making this calculation certain one-time funds may be excluded. A city or county that fails to comply in a particular year may make it up with in additional expenditures in the following year.

The Act provides that the State Controller may perform audits to ensure compliance with these MOE rules. If the State Controller determines that a city or county has not met it’s MOE, the agency will be required to reimburse the state for the funds it received during that fiscal year. However, a city or county that fails to comply in a particular fiscal 166
Item 4.

Page 2 ends

year may expend during that fiscal year and the following fiscal year a total amount that is sufficient to comply. Any funds withheld or returned as a result of a failure to comply will be reapportioned to the other counties and cities whose expenditures are in compliance.

In order to maintain compliance with state requirements and assure that the City of Oroville continues to receive its share of funding, City Staff must submit our prioritized list of roads and streets for rehabilitation and repair. The CTC does not “approve” or “deny” project lists, they simply gather the cities’ project lists into a state database for transparency and accountability purposes.

FISCAL IMPACT
Project Design, Construction, and Construction Management is funded by a combination of Local Transportation Fund and RMRA Funds from SB-1. Adoption of resolution will have no immediate impact to the City’s local transportation fund or general fund. However, submittal of list to CTC will assure future allocations of funding from the State to the City for road repair and rehabilitation. Preliminary construction cost estimate of the 2022-2023 road list is $2,650,000.

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Resolution No. 9064- A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF OROVILLE ADOPTING A LIST OF PROJECTS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2022-23 FUNDED BY SB 1: THE ROAD REPAIR AND ACCOUNTABILITY ACT OF 2017

WHEREAS, Senate Bill 1 (SB 1), the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 (Chapter 5, Statutes of 2017) was passed by the Legislature and Signed into law by the Governor in April 2017 to address the significant multi-modal transportation funding shortfalls statewide; and WHEREAS, SB 1 includes accountability and transparency provisions that will ensure the residents of our City are aware of the projects proposed for funding in our community and which projects have been completed each fiscal year; and
WHEREAS, the City must adopt by resolution a list of projects proposed to receive fiscal year funding from the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA), created by SB 1, which must include a description and the location of each proposed project, a proposed schedule for the project’s completion, and the estimated useful life of the improvement; and WHEREAS, the adopted list of projects can be revised by the City at any time to address changing priorities in the street and road maintenance and safety needs; and WHEREAS, the City, will receive an estimated $373,448.00 in RMRA funding in Fiscal Year 2022- 23 from SB 1; and
WHEREAS, this is the fourth year in which the City is receiving SB 1 funding and will enable the City to continue essential road maintenance and rehabilitation projects, safety improvements, and increasing access and mobility options for the traveling public that would not have otherwise been possible without SB 1; and
WHEREAS, the funding from SB 1 will help the City maintain and rehabilitate various streets/roads, add active transportation infrastructure throughout the City.

WHEREAS, the 2018 California Statewide Local Streets and Roads Needs Assessment found that the City’s streets and roads are in an “at-risk/poor” condition and the funding from SB 1 will help the City maintain and rehabilitate a portion of the streets throughout the City.

WHEREAS, the SB 1 project list and overall investment in our local streets and roads infrastructure with a focus on basic maintenance and safety, investing in complete streets infrastructure, and using cutting-edge technology, materials and practices, will have significant positive co-benefits statewide.

OROVILLE CITY COUNCIL

STAFF REPORT
TO: MAYOR REYNOLDS AND COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: RON BELSER, DIRECTOR OF CODE ENFORCEMENT
RE: REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL FOR ABANDONED VEHICLE

ABATEMENT TOWING SERVICE
DATE: JUNE 21, 2022

SUMMARY
The Council will consider releasing a request for proposal for Abandoned Vehicle Abatement (AVA) towing services within the incorporated areas of the City of Oroville.

DISCUSSION
The City of Oroville, as a jurisdictional member of Butte County Abandoned Vehicle Abatement (AVA) Program Service Authority encompassing only those areas within the City limits of Oroville, began towing abandoned vehicles in December 2003.

Funds for the AVA Program are generated from a $1 dollar registration fee collected by the State of California. Each quarter, after the State takes out their administrative fee, the registration funds are sent to the County Abandoned Vehicle Abatement Joint Powers Authority for distribution to the participated jurisdictions (Biggs, Chico, Gridley, Oroville, Paradise, and Butte County). The County receives an administrative fee for staff support (Development Services, County Council, and Auditor’s Office) to the County Abandoned Vehicle Abatement Joint Powers Authority Program (all jurisdictions) and the remaining funds are divided in half. One-half or the funds are paid to each jurisdiction solely based on their percentage population. The remaining half of the funds are paid to each jurisdiction based upon the number of tows. AVA funds are intended to help jurisdictions recover the costs of the Program. Eligible costs include staff time and expenses related to the Program.

Currently there are five (5) towing companies on a rotational list that the Code 171
Item 5.

CODE ENFORCEMENT Page 2 05.03.22
Enforcement Division and Police Department contact to tow abandoned vehicles that qualify for the AVA Program. Having five (5) towing companies on a rotational list it is very intensive on staff time due to trying to contact five (5) different companies, trying to consistently collect required documents and forms from different towing companies, billing for five (5) different companies, etc. Having a single towing company for the AVA Program will help provide an efficient code enforcement process and help improve enforcement related to the AVA Program.

If approved this request for proposal will be advertised in a local publication. The RFP was also posted on the city website and the complete RFP packet was hand delivered to all local towing companies.

The towing company will provide towing and cleanup services for standard vehicles, oversize vehicles, travel trailers, motor homes, and large parts (engines, transmissions, etc) related to the AVA Ordinance.

RFP Introduction – Background – Scope of Services
2 INTRODUCTION
The City of Oroville is seeking a firm to provide City-wide towing services for the Abandoned Vehicle Abatement and Nuisance Abatement programs, and the occasional towing of Department vehicles as the need arises. The City at their option, may consider awarding contracts based upon the attached Abandoned Vehicle Abatement Towing Map.

The City intends to award a contract to a firm that shall meet our qualification criteria and has successfully performed services on similar projects in the past. The successful firm shall be required to enter into a contract with the City for the services requested in this RFP within a reasonable time after award. A firm submitting a proposal must be prepared to use the City's standard contract form rather than its own contract form. The contract shall include terms appropriate for this project. Generally, the terms of the contract shall include, but are not limited to: (1) completion of the project within the timeframe provided; (2) no additional work authorized without prior approval; (3) no payment without prior approval; (4) funding availability; (5) termination of contract under certain conditions; (6) indemnification of the City; (7) approval by the City of any subcontractors; and (8) minimum appropriate insurance requirements. A Model Agreement is attached as Exhibit B to this RFP. The City intends to award a contract substantially in the form of the Model Agreement to the selected contractor (s).

BACKGROUND
The City as a jurisdictional member of the Butte County Abandoned Vehicle Abatement (AVA) Program Service Authority encompassing the incorporated areas of the City Limits of Oroville in Butte City began towing abandoned vehicles in December 2003.

Funds for the AVA program are generated from a one dollar registration fee collected by the State of California. Each quarter, after the State takes out their administrative fee, the registration funds are sent to the Butte County Abandoned Vehicle Abatement Joint Powers Authority for distribution to the participating jurisdictions (Biggs, Chico, Gridley, Oroville, Paradise and Butte City). The City receives an administrative fee for staff support (Development Services, Butte County Counsel, and Auditor’s Office) to the Butte County Abandoned Vehicle Abatement Joint Powers Authority program (all jurisdictions) and the remaining funds are divided in half. One half of the funds are paid to each jurisdiction solely based upon their percentage of population. The remaining half of the funds are paid to each jurisdiction based upon the number of tows.

Tow companies in good standing on California Highway Patrol (CHP) Tow Service Agreement (TSA) rotation were eligible to enter into an Agreement with the City of Oroville for towing abandoned vehicles at the direction of the City of Oroville Code Enforcement Department, Oroville Police Department (OPD), and Municipal Law Enforcement Officers (MLE) or Code Enforcement Officers.

Tow rates were initially established with input from tow companies and licensed Dismantlers, other jurisdictions, and City staff. Charges for towing “over-sized” vehicles were established by a bid process involving those tow companies equipped and willing to tow larger vehicles. 174
Item 5.

RFP Introduction – Background – Scope of Services
3 AVA funds are intended to help jurisdictions cover the costs of the program. Eligible costs include staff time and expenses related to the program. Initially the City of Oroville (jurisdiction), invested in making the program a success, towed a large number of vehicles (which gave us a larger portion of each quarter’s funding), and used the funding to pay for those tows. Increased costs of towing “over-sized” vehicles, along with the continued volume of tows eventually exceeded the City of Oroville AVA funding and the City committed additional funds, to continue towing. AVA funding was not available then to cover the hours of time put in by the code enforcement department, administrative staff, or AVA-related expenses – which was absorbed by the City of Oroville.

The time commitment to the AVA program by the Department is significant. Resources devoted to this program which have the potential of being compensated for by AVA funds, reduce the time available to spend on other equally important efforts that do not have the same level of funding resources. It is intended that via this RFP we find the most costeffective way to deliver tow services and optimize funding resources.

We expect the successful bidder to this RFP to begin work on July 5, 2022, or sooner, upon full execution of an agreement with the City of Oroville.

SCOPE OF SERVICES
Overview. The incorporated portion of the City Limits within the County of Butte is the area covered by this RFP. The attached Abandoned Vehicle Abatement Towing Map shows boundaries.

1. California Highway Patrol Rotation List and Tow Service Agreement. Towing firms shall:
• maintain membership in good standing on one or more of the California Highway Patrol (CHP) rotation lists for City of Oroville (City) (at City’s option, the City may consider tow companies, dismantlers and licensed scrap dealers in good standing on CHP rotation lists in other than the City of Oroville. • be currently in compliance, and maintain that status, with all conditions, meeting all requirements and consistently following all protocols set forth in the current Department of California Highway Patrol Tow Service Agreement; • apply and follow these standards as respects to services provided for the City; and notify City immediately of any disciplinary actions resulting in letters of written reprimand, suspensions or termination of their CHP Tow Service Agreement. • only use those tow vehicles authorized/inspected as part of CHP rotation.

Failure to apply the above-referenced standards, maintain good standing, or to notify City of any disciplinary action, shall be immediate cause for cancellation of any subsequent towing agreement entered into with City of Oroville, at the sole discretion of the City of Oroville.
175
Item 5.

Should failure to maintain good standing, impact the City of Oroville in their ability to provide towing services for the Abandoned Vehicle Abatement program, either programmatically or fiscally, City of Oroville may hold contractor liable for damages and seek restitution for breach of the agreement. Such restitution may be in the form of withholding payment for services provided. In no case shall the City be liable to pay for services provided while a tow company is on suspension or terminated from the CHP program.

2. Response Time of Abatement Services. This is a critical element of the Abandoned Vehicle Abatement program and one that shall be given due consideration in reviewing responses. Interested firms must be able to respond to single and/or multiple removals at any given time. The City reserves the right to authorize a time extension to towing firms for vehicle removal and recovery services.
• “Priority” Tows. Tow services for vehicles that impact Health and Safety due to their location and/or condition require the quickest response time. For reference purposes, these shall be referred to as “priority” tows. • “Scheduled” Tows. Other tows, not as critical in nature, may be able to be “Scheduled”, perhaps on certain days for certain areas, or on a case-by-case basis.

Firms shall be asked to provide both response times for “priority” tows and “scheduled” tows.

The City of Oroville reserves the right to make multiple awards and/or purchase subsequent services on the open market if necessary, to provide for timely removal of vehicles in the event contracted towing firm(s) fail to perform within the required frame.

In such instances, the City of Oroville shall have the right to deduct from any monies due, or that may after become due, to the contracted firm(s) the difference between the price named in the contract and the actual cost thereof to the City.

3. Volume Capacity of Abatement Services. Interested firms must be able to respond to single and/or multiple removals at any given time. The volume of vehicles that can be towed in any one day, is another critical element considered in the review of responses.

This is especially true with regards to removal of vehicles from private properties which are performed under the Nuisance Abatement program and require removal with a specified time.

Firms which possess multiple car carriers are anticipated to offer better prices than a firm with limited ability to tow multiple vehicles from one site, within the span of time available.

4. Storage Facilities. In addition to meeting the requirements for storage facilities contained in the CHP Tow Services Agreement, storage facilities must be in compliance with zoning regulations. Another critical element of consideration in review of proposals is the overall storage capacity (how many vehicles can be stored at any one time) and the efficiency of the firm to maintain sufficient storage capacity to accommodate the volume of vehicles towed for the City of Oroville, by appropriate and timely removal/disposal of stored vehicles.

5. On-Site Inspections. On-site inspections may be performed by the City of Oroville to ascertain that recordkeeping, facilities and equipment are in accordance with the 176
Item 5.
requirements and intentions of the specifications. Towing firms shall allow inspections of upon request by the City of Oroville during normal business hours.

6. Rules and Regulations of the Abandoned Vehicle Program. Knowledge of and compliance with regulations regarding the disposition of abandoned vehicles is mandatory. Vehicles removed by the towing firm(s) pursuant to Sections 22523, 22661, 22669 and 22851.3 of the California Vehicle Code shall be transported to the storage facility provided by the towing firm and stored for a designated 15-day period before disposal. At the conclusion of the storage period, with required DMV forms completed by the towing firm(s), the towing firm(s) may dispose of the vehicle. Abated vehicles or parts thereof shall not be reconstructed or made operable unless the vehicle qualifies for restoration pursuant to Section 5004 of the Vehicle Code.

Abandoned vehicles shall be disposed of by removal to a dismantler or to a scrap yard for processing as scrap. Vehicles towed under the Abandoned Vehicle Abatement program for which junk slips are not obtainable due to their value being over the designated monetary value for junked vehicles may be sold via lien sale. You may look up Vehicle Code and Government Codes at http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/calaw.html.

7. Invoicing and Recordkeeping. Firms awarded contracts shall be expected to demonstrate good recordkeeping practices. The City Of Oroville shall be entitled to audit the books and records of the towing firm. Such books or records shall be maintained by the towing firms for a period of two years from the date of the final payment or until an audit is completed. Review of records and recordkeeping practices, at the towing firm’s place of business, may be performed at the request of the City, by giving 24 hours advance notice.
• Invoices shall be submitted in a manner acceptable to the City and in a timely manner. Diligence shall be required in obtaining signed junk slips as soon as possible after the 15 day storage. Invoices are required to be submitted within 10 days of obtaining the signed junk slip. Invoices with junk slips dated over 10 days from submission of the invoice are considered late and late invoices shall not be honored.
• “180” Form Accountability. Towing firms must account for all “180” forms. “180s’ are issued sequentially with a code indicating the date and Code Enforcement Officer. All “180” forms shall be accounted for, either by the submission of timely invoices and accompanying junk slips, or by indicating the status as being reclaimed “owner paid” (see below), or by indicating on a copy of the “180” submitted with monthly invoices that the vehicle was over the monetary value for a junk sale and therefore was sold via lien. Missing “180” forms shall be cause for investigation, including a review of records. • Owner Reclaiming Vehicles. An owner of a towed abandoned vehicle, upon submission of required proof of ownership and current DMV registration, may reclaim their vehicle by paying the towing firm’s reasonable prevailing towing and storage fees (storage fees shall not exceed the cost of seven days per Section 22554 of the Vehicle Code). The towing firm would include the “180” form along with submission of other invoices for that month with a note on the top of the form to indicating “owner paid”. A copy of the receipt provided to the Owner of the vehicle, containing the owner’s name, address, and phone number shall accompany the “180”.
177
Item 5.
• City Release of Vehicles. Under unusual circumstances, the towing firm may release vehicles to the owner of the vehicle with a written release from the Code Enforcement Division. If the owner of the vehicle is to be charged reasonable fees, it shall be handled as stated above under “Owner Reclaiming Vehicles”. If the City has already been billed for the tow, the towing firm shall issue a credit to the City along with the submission of monthly invoices. If the towing firm is required by the City, in writing, to return the vehicle to the site from which it was towed in order to release the vehicle to the registered vehicle owner, the towing firm shall be entitled to charge the City the same towing charge (exclusive of any extra charges, storage charges, etc.) as the initial recovery towing (only) fee. However, if the towing firm is required to release the vehicle to the registered owner at its storage yard, the City shall not be charged any additional towing fees. • Towing Firm Liability for Exceeding Contract Maximum. Towing firms are responsible for tracking services delivered against their contracted amounts and not exceeding those amounts. Providing services in excess of the contracted maximums in place at any given time shall be the risk of the towing firm(s). • Towing Firm Liability for Provision of Required Insurance Documents.

Towing firms are responsible for keeping up to date insurance information on file with City. Certificates of Insurance and endorsements to policies naming the City as additional insured shall be updated prior to expiration of previous documents on file. The City reserves the right to withhold payments to towing firms in the event of material non-compliance with the insurance requirements outlined above.

Standard Tows Defined. For purposes of this proposal, contractor shall consider bids to pertain to towing, storage, and recycling of all motorcycles, all passenger cars, all SUVs, all light and medium duty pickup trucks and all utility trailers up to 20 feet. These shall be considered “standard” tows. Miscellaneous parts and pieces of dismantled vehicles shall be handled as in current contracts, parts belonging to/missing from another a towed vehicle shall be considered as part of a vehicle’s towing charges, other parts that can be picked up manually (from different vehicles) shall be done so without additional charges. You shall be asked to provide your proposed charges for heavier parts requiring equipment to pick up, as part of your proposal, however a determination shall be made by Code Enforcement as to whether the combined quantity and effort to remove said parts shall be considered as a separate tow.

8. Towing and dismantling of vehicles beyond this description shall be considered “large” tows.

The City of Oroville reserves the right to authorize the towing firms to remove a “Standard Tow” vehicle as an “Extraordinary tow” vehicle when the City has determined that the vehicle became qualified as an “Extraordinary tow” after being tagged under the program. “Extraordinary tow” determination shall be at the sole discretion of Oroville Police Department or Code Enforcement Officer and may reflect unexpected difficulties encountered such as location of the vehicle making access difficult, etc.

Towing firm(s) shall remove abandoned vehicles from all types of properties and roadways, both improved an unimproved, on a City-wide basis. Property access and roadway widths vary. The towing firm(s)’s towing vehicles and equipment are expected to be able to negotiate all types of properties and roadways regardless of 178
Item 5.
improvements. However, if any vehicle is determined by the towing firm(s) to not be accessible for removal after referral, the towing firm shall immediately notify City of Oroville in writing (by fax or email), at which time the City shall determine whether the vehicle is still eligible for removal under the Abandoned Vehicle Abatement Program.

Towing firms shall be required to remove all abandoned vehicles referred by City Code Enforcement, and it shall be necessary for the towing firm(s) to retrieve vehicles from streams, wetlands, sloughs, ravines, or other difficult areas. Towing firms shall remove vehicles from riparian corridors and environmentally sensitive areas in a manner so as to minimize any further environmental damage. Refusal to remove difficult to retrieve vehicles may be considered a breach of the agreement.

9. Disposal of Trash or Waste Materials. Towing firm shall be responsible for lawful disposal of any trash or waste materials contained within any towed vehicles. It is the responsibility of the towing firm(s) to properly dispose of any waste matter within the abandoned vehicles authorized for towing prior to final disposition of the vehicle at no additional charge to the City. If uncontained hazardous materials are found in vehicles, call 911.

10. One Proposal shall be accepted from any one person, partnership, corporation or other entity, however, several alternatives may be included in one proposal.

12. Nonexclusively. The towing firm(s) awarded contract(s) and City agree that a contract does not establish an exclusive contract between the City of Oroville and contracted towing firm(s), nor does it constitute a commitment by City, whether expressed or implied, to contract with towing firm(s) to perform or supply any work, nor is there any guarantee as to the volume of work or the duration of a contract. The City expressly reserves all its rights, including but not limited to the following: The right to utilize others to perform or supply work of the type contemplated by any awarded Contract, the right to request proposals from others with or without requesting proposals from Contractor for work of the type contemplated by the contract, and the unrestricted right by the City to bid or perform any such work.

13. Price Guarantee. The City expects the price to remain the same during the length of the contract. If market conditions warrant, the City reserves the right to receive a lower price.

14. Price Decline. In the event of a price decline, or if the towing firm(s) contract with another government entity for the same service at lower prices than offered herein, with other terms and conditions being equal, then supplier shall immediately extend those same lower prices to the City.

15. Funding. For the contract(s) to be awarded is from State-imposed registration fees for Abandoned Vehicle Abatement funding and City reserves the right to limit services to the availability of Abandoned Vehicle Abatement funding for towing.

CITY OF OROVILLE

STAFF REPORT
TO: OROVILLE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: BILL LAGRONE, CITY ADMINISTRATOR
RE: CONSIDER AND ADOPT THE TRANSITIONAL MEMORANDUM OF

UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN THE CITY OF OROVILLE AND THE
OROVILLE FIRE FIGHTER’S ASSOCIATION AND THE OROVILLE FIRE

MANAGERS
DATE: JUNE 21, 2022

SUMMARY
The City Council will consider the transitional Memorandum of Understanding between the City of Oroville and the Oroville Fire Fighter’s Association (OFFA) and the Oroville Fire Managers.

The purpose of the MOU is to complete the transition of City of Oroville Fire Fighters to Cal Fire.

DISCUSSION
At the July 20, 2021, meeting the Council adopted Resolution 8970 directing staff to initiate LAFCo proceedings for the contracting of Fire Service with Cal Fire. The Council further adopted Resolution 8971 directing the Mayor to sign all necessary documents to execute a contract from July 2022 to June 2025 with Cal Fire.

The proposed transition to Cal Fire was reviewed by LAFCo and approved by the LAFCo board at the April 7, 2022, meeting.

The last item to complete the transition is the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the City of Oroville and the Oroville Fire Fighters Association (OFFA) and the Oroville Fire Management Staff. City Staff along with the City negotiator has been meeting with the OFFA over the past month to discuss the terms of the MOU. It is necessary to negotiate the terms of items where the members of the Association have a financial interest, those items include vacation banks, sick leave, comp time banks and post-retirement health care etc. The Association has been very helpful and engaged in the process. City Staff and the Association and Management group have reached a tentative agreement.

The terms of the agreement are included in the attached MOU. All Fire personnel will be paid for all times accrued that are not transferred to Cal Fire. Fire Fighters will each receive a onetime payment of $600.00 for uniforms. This payment is necessary due to the fact the Fire Fighters will not receive a uniform allowance from Cal Fire until July of 2023 and there are 199
Item 6.

Page 2 ends

required uniform changes due to this transition. This proposed MOU contains all the terms of the transition that were within the control of the City.

Post-retirement medical was negotiated. Most of the Fire Fighters will receive a one time buy out of $8,434.00. This buy out will be deposited into a 457 plan for each Fire Fighter. There are three Fire Fighters that will receive service credit purchase buy out for post-retirement medical benefit with Cal Fire. The total cost of the post-retirement medical and uniform allowance is $749,012.20.

There is an attached copy of the proposed transitional MOU for review and additional detail.

FISCAL IMPACT
Transitional MOU cost will come from the General fund resulting in a reduction in the fund of $749,012.20

TRANSITIONAL MEMORANDUM OF

UNDERSTANDING

BETWEEN CITY OF OROVILLE AND
OROVILLE FIREFIGHTERS’

ASSOCIATION
202
Item 6.

OROVILLE FIREFIGHTERS’ ASSOCIATION TRANSITIONAL

MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING

PURPOSE
The purpose of the M.O.U. is to promote a harmonious transition from "CITY" service employment to service employment by the State of California, Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (hereinafter also “CAL FIRE”), for those employees in classifications represented by the Oroville Firefighters Association.

RECITALS

TRANSITION
These recitals City and the Association in this MOU are based on the best understanding of practices, rules, and regulations of third parties such as the California Public Employees Retirement System (PERS), the County of Butte and the State of California, Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, and are not intended to create contractual obligations between the City and the Association. The contractual obligations are set forth in the Contractual Terms and Conditions of the MOU.

Transitioning employees are encouraged to contact the applicable third party to obtain additional information. The parties hereto understand and agree that upon transition to employment with the State of California, Department of Forestry and Fire Protection affected Oroville employees will be blanketed into the State Civil Service system in accordance with the rules, policies and provisions administered by the CalHR. Those affected City employees will thereafter be employees of the State of California and no longer subject to the rights and privileges of employment with the City of Oroville unless otherwise stated herein or provided for by law.

Upon appointment to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, blanketed-in employees will be subject to the following conditions of employment:

Article VII, Section 6 (c) of the Constitution allows the State Personnel Board to transfer or "blanket — in" by board resolution local government employees when the work that was previously performed by these employees is assumed by the State.

All current fire suppression personnel of the City Oroville who wish to blanket into State Service as a CAL FIRE employee are eligible to do so. CAL FIRE has agreed to blanket-in all fire suppression personnel, with the exception of those on disability leave. Those on leave will transition after being released to “Full duty” disability leave. In the event those on leave are not released to “Full duty”, but rather eligible for disability retirement, no State Service or Transitional MOU benefits will be applied, however, City policy, procedures and benefits will remain in effect. 203
Item 6.

WAGES. HOURS AND OTHER TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF EMPLOYMENT OF

EMPLOYEES BLANKETED INTO STATE SERVICE
Terms and conditions of employment for employees that are blanketed into State Service are outlined in the applicable state bargaining unit agreements for rank-and-file employees. Copies of the applicable bargaining unit agreements are available to be provided to the members of the Oroville Firefighters Association.

UNION REPRESENTATION
Fire protection employees in rank-and-file classifications are represented by CDFF (Bargaining Unit 8). The MOU addresses working conditions, benefits, and wages. New MOUs are negotiated by CAL FIRE and the CDFF and go into effect once approved by the Legislature, signed by the Governor, and ratified by the CDFF membership.

The Department’s Labor Relations office is available to assist in the interpretation and applications of terms of MOUs.

STATE CIVIL SERVICE CLASSIFICATION
The State civil service classification is determined by evaluating City of Oroville Fire Department employees' existing classifications and duty statement compared to the same or similar classifications used within CAL FIRE. As close a match as possible is made and the employees are then blanketed (transferred upon resolution) into those State civil service classifications.

PERMANENT APPOINTMENT
City of Oroville Fire Department employees that are blanketed into CAL FIRE are assured of permanent appointments. The process is prescribed clearly in law and takes from three to four months to process. Officially, these employees become State civil service employees "without the benefit of civil service examination." They do not serve a probationary period unless they are currently on probation with City of Oroville. The State Personnel Board makes the civil service appointment at one of their regularly scheduled public hearings. CAL FIRE closely follows the guidelines established in the State Constitution for the transition of employees into State civil service that result from these cooperative agreements.

Article VII, Section 6(c) of the California Constitution allows the State Personnel Board to transfer, or "blanket-in" by board resolution local government employees when the work that was performed by these employees is assumed by the State. 204
Item 6.

SALARY

BASE PAY
Once the State civil service classification is determined, the City of Oroville Fire Department employees' existing salaries at the time of transition will be compared to that of the new classifications. If the employees are within the minimum and maximum of the salary range for the State civil service classifications, the employees will retain that salary. If the employees' salaries are below the minimum of the State civil service classifications, the salaries will be raised to the minimum of the classification and the employees will be given annual step increases (e.g., merit salary adjustment, etc.) until they have reached the maximum salary range of the civil service classification.

CAL FIRE employees are paid their base pay plus any applicable pay differentials once per calendar month. Fire protection employees receive a supplemental check at the end of each 28-day work period for Extended Duty Week Compensation (EDWC) as well as unplanned overtime.

A fire department employee's monthly salary is based on a work schedule for an average 53 hours per week, which is established by the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) as the standard work week for firefighters eligible for Section 7k of the FLSA.

EXTENDED DUTY WORK WEEK COMPENSATION
Additional compensation for CAL FIRE fire protection employees is calculated on a 28- day work period. Since CAL FIRE employees predominantly work a scheduled 72-hour work week, a portion of these scheduled hours are eligible for additional Compensation under the FLSA (i.e., the difference between 53 hours and 72 hours per week). This additional compensation is known as EDWC. A supplemental check at the end of the 28-day work period is issued to compensate the employees for EDWC and for any unplanned overtime that was worked during the 28-day period. EDWC counts as income for California Public Employees Retirement System (CalPERS) retirement calculation purposes. Unplanned overtime does not count as compensation for CalPERS retirement calculation purposes.

SENIORITY
It is the City's understanding that years of service at the Oroville Fire Department shall be counted toward longevity pay eligibility. Again, final determination shall be made by CAL FIRE once employees are blanketed into State Service.

Once transitioned, service with City Oroville Fire Department will be reviewed and credited to employees based on the State's qualifying service requirement.

Seniority is calculated similarly to State Service and is used for transfers, layoffs, or demotions when necessary.
205
Item 6.

PROBATIONARY PERIOD
City Fire Department employees who have successfully completed their probationary period with the City preceding the effective date of blanketing-in will continue to hold such positions as permanent state civil service employees. Fire Department employees holding positions with the City for less than one year immediately preceding the effective date of such action shall continue to hold such positions subject to the probationary period established for the class to which transferred.

There are four (4) Oroville City probationary employees transitioning from the City to State employment.

PROMOTIONS. TRANSFER. AND ASSIGNMENTS
City Oroville Fire Department employees who are transitioned into CAL FIRE will be fully tenured employees and enjoy the same rights, privileges, and opportunities that any other CAL FIRE employee of the same classification and seniority would receive.

Employees will be eligible to compete for promotion if they meet the minimum qualifications of the civil service classification. The years of employment with the City will count as credit towards qualifying experience.

City Oroville Fire Department employees will be eligible to transfer or ask for reassignment anywhere in California that CAL FIRE operates the same as any other CAL FIRE employees. Voluntary transfer rules may be found in the various MOUs dependent on the employee's civil service classification. For employees in fire protection classifications, this information is contained in the MOU between CDF Firefighters Local 2881 (CDFF) and CAL FIRE.

Promotions, transfers, and re-assignments are predominantly voluntary. Occasionally, due to operational needs, an employee may be involuntarily reassigned within CAL FIRE.

LEAVE CREDITS

VACATION AND SICK LEAVE
Vacation and sick leave credits are converted prior to being credited to an employee transitioned to the State. Credits are converted by the following formula: Hours of credit each month as a local government employee divided by the hours of credit each month a CAL FIRE employee would receive.

As an example: A local government employee earns 12 hours of sick leave per month; CAL FIRE employees earn eight hours of sick leave per month. Thus, 12 divided by eight equals 1.5. This is the conversion factor. The next step is to take the local government employee's sick leave balance and divide it by the conversion factor. This is the balance the local government employee will be allowed to carry over.

For vacation leave credits, there is a maximum number of hours an employee can carry 206
Item 6.
over. The maximum hours are determined by calculating what the employee would earn in a year as a State employee (based on his or her credited years of State Service).

This is the maximum carry over amount allowed for vacation leave credits.

RETIREMENT BENEFITS
All CAL FIRE firefighting employees are members of the CalPERS Peace Officer and Firefighter (POFF) Safety Retirement Program. The City Oroville Fire Department employees performing fire protection work will become members of this program.

Upon retirement the employee will receive compensation based on a combination of retirement systems to which he contributed to over their years of employment. Some will have been members of only CalPERS, while some will have participated in multiple programs and plans. Each Oroville Fire Department employee's retirement compensation calculations will be different based on the programs and plans in which they have been members.

It is strongly recommended that each employee contact CalPERS and obtain a personal evaluation of his retirement circumstances.

PREVIOUS STATE EMPLOYEE CREDIT TOWARDS POST RETIREMENT HEALTH CARE

COVERAGE
Some City of Oroville Fire Department employees may have worked for the State of California prior to their current employment with the local government. This prior State employment experience may count towards the vesting requirement. If they were State employees prior to January 1, 1989, they may receive the benefit with reduced years of service requirement as follows:

YEARS OF STATE CIVIL SERVICE STATE CONTRIBUTION
Any years of service 100%
If they began working for the State of California between January 1, 1985, to December 31, 1988, rates are as follows:

YEARS OF STATE CIVIL SERVICE STATE CONTRIBUTION
10 years 100%
Less than 10 years Reduced by 10% for each year of service under 10 years
The City of Oroville Fire Department employees are encouraged to contact CalPERS for their particular circumstances.
207

The City of Oroville (hereinafter "City") and the Oroville Firefighters Association (hereinafter "Association") agree to the following terms and conditions:

208
Item 6.

4. VACATION LEAVE BALANCES
Vacation credits are converted prior to being credited to an employee transitioned to the state.

Credits are converted by the following formula: hours of credit each month as an Oroville employee divided by the hours of credit each month a CAL FIRE employee would receive.

If the employees' salaries are below the minimum of the State civil service classifications, the salaries will be raised to the minimum of the classification and the employees will be given annual step increases (e.g., merit salary adjustment, etc.) until they have reached the maximum salary range of the civil service classification.

CAL FIRE employees are paid their base pay plus any applicable pay differentials once per calendar month. Fire protection employees receive a supplemental check at the end of each 28-day work period for Extended Duty Week Compensation (EDWC) as well as unplanned overtime.

A fire department employee's monthly salary is based on a work schedule for an average 53 hours per week, which is established by the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) as the standard work week for Managers eligible for Section 7k of the FLSA.

EXTENDED DUTY WORK WEEK COMPENSATION
Additional compensation for CAL FIRE fire protection employees is calculated on a 28- day work period. Since CAL FIRE employees predominantly work a scheduled 72-hour work week, a portion of these scheduled hours are eligible for additional Compensation under the FLSA (i.e., the difference between 53 hours and 72 hours per week). This additional compensation is known as EDWC. A supplemental check at the end of the 28-day work period is issued to compensate the employees for EDWC and for any unplanned overtime that was worked during the 28-day period. EDWC counts as income for California Public Employees Retirement System (CalPERS) retirement calculation purposes. Unplanned overtime does not count as compensation for CalPERS retirement calculation purposes.

SENIORITY
It is the City's understanding that years of service at the Oroville Fire Department shall be counted toward longevity pay eligibility. Again, final determination shall be made by CAL FIRE once employees are blanketed into State Service.

Once transitioned, service with City Oroville Fire Department will be reviewed and credited to employees based on the State's qualifying service requirement.

Seniority is calculated similarly to State Service and is used for transfers, layoffs, or demotions when necessary.
216
Item 6.

PROBATIONARY PERIOD
City Fire Department employees who have successfully completed their probationary period with the City preceding the effective date of blanketing-in will continue to hold such positions as permanent state civil service employees. Fire Department employees holding positions with the City for less than one year immediately preceding the effective date of such action shall continue to hold such positions subject to the probationary period established for the class to which transferred.

There are four (4) Oroville City probationary employees transitioning from the City to State employment.

PROMOTIONS. TRANSFER. AND ASSIGNMENTS
City Oroville Fire Department employees who are transitioned into CAL FIRE will be fully tenured employees and enjoy the same rights, privileges, and opportunities that any other CAL FIRE employee of the same classification and seniority would receive.

Employees will be eligible to compete for promotion if they meet the minimum qualifications of the civil service classification. The years of employment with the City will count as credit towards qualifying experience.

City Oroville Fire Department employees will be eligible to transfer or ask for reassignment anywhere in California that CAL FIRE operates the same as any other CAL FIRE employees. Voluntary transfer rules may be found in the various MOUs dependent on the employee's civil service classification. For employees in fire protection classifications, this information is contained in the MOU between CDF Managers Local 2881 (CDFF) and CAL FIRE.

Promotions, transfers, and re-assignments are predominantly voluntary. Occasionally, due to operational needs, an employee may be involuntarily reassigned within CAL FIRE.

LEAVE CREDITS

VACATION AND SICK LEAVE
Vacation and sick leave credits are converted prior to being credited to an employee transitioned to the State. Credits are converted by the following formula: Hours of credit each month as a local government employee divided by the hours of credit each month a CAL FIRE employee would receive.

As an example: A local government employee earns 12 hours of sick leave per month; CAL FIRE employees earn eight hours of sick leave per month. Thus, 12 divided by eight equals 1.5. This is the conversion factor. The next step is to take the local government employee's sick leave balance and divide it by the conversion factor. This is the balance the local government employee will be allowed to carry over.

For vacation leave credits, there is a maximum number of hours an employee can carry 217
Item 6.
over. The maximum hours are determined by calculating what the employee would earn in a year as a State employee (based on his or her credited years of State Service).

This is the maximum carry over amount allowed for vacation leave credits.

RETIREMENT BENEFITS
All CAL FIRE firefighting employees are members of the CalPERS Peace Officer and Firefighter (POFF) Safety Retirement Program. The City Oroville Fire Department employees performing fire protection work will become members of this program.

Upon retirement the employee will receive compensation based on a combination of retirement systems to which he contributed to over their years of employment. Some will have been members of only CalPERS, while some will have participated in multiple programs and plans. Each Oroville Fire Department employee's retirement compensation calculations will be different based on the programs and plans in which they have been members.

It is strongly recommended that each employee contact CalPERS and obtain a personal evaluation of his retirement circumstances.

PREVIOUS STATE EMPLOYEE CREDIT TOWARDS POST RETIREMENT HEALTH CARE

COVERAGE
Some City of Oroville Fire Department employees may have worked for the State of California prior to their current employment with the local government. This prior State employment experience may count towards the vesting requirement. If they were State employees prior to January 1, 1989, they may receive the benefit with reduced years of service requirement as follows:

YEARS OF STATE CIVIL SERVICE STATE CONTRIBUTION
Any years of service 100%
If they began working for the State of California between January 1, 1985, to December 31, 1988, rates are as follows:

YEARS OF STATE CIVIL SERVICE STATE CONTRIBUTION
10 years 100%
Less than 10 years Reduced by 10% for each year of service under 10 years
The City of Oroville Fire Department employees are encouraged to contact CalPERS for their particular circumstances.
218
Item 6.

The City of Oroville (hereinafter "City") and the Oroville Managers Association (hereinafter "Association") agree to the following terms and conditions:

CONTRACTUAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS TO TRANSITION
The following contractual terms and conditions have been negotiated between the City Oroville and the Oroville Managers Association and shall be applicable to the transition of the City Fire Department employees to CAL FIRE.

1. CLASSIFICATIONS
The Association is the recognized bargaining unit for the following classifications:
2- Battalion Chief

3. SICK LEAVE BALANCES
City Fire Department employees shall have their City sick leave balances carried over to CAL FIRE employment based on a conversion factor of 0.66667. For example, 12 hours of accumulated City sick leave balance will be needed to generate 8 hours of sick leave carry over to CAL FIRE employment. There is no cap.
219
Item 6.

4. VACATION LEAVE BALANCES
Vacation credits are converted prior to being credited to an employee transitioned to the state.

Credits are converted by the following formula: hours of credit each month as an Oroville employee divided by the hours of credit each month a CAL FIRE employee would receive. For vacation credits there is a maximum number of hours an employee can carry over. The maximum hours are determined by calculating what the employee would earn in a year as a state employee based on his or her credited years of service. This is the maximum carryover amount allowed for vacation leave credits.

5. COMP TIME BALANCES
City Fire Department employees who have a balance in their Comp Time Bank shall be cashed out and paid within 30 days of transition date.
