H:\CITYMANAGER\AGENDA\REPORTS\CITYCLERK-COIC\CONFLICT BIENNIAL-2022.DOCX;6/3/2022 11:21 AM To: Honorable City Council
From: John Moreno, City Manager
By: Heidi Luce, City Clerk
Date: June 8, 2022
Subject: BIENNIAL REVIEW OF CONFLICT OF INTEREST CODE
The Political Reform Act requires all public agencies to adopt a Conflict of Interest Code.

The Conflict of Interest Code designates positions required to file a Statement of Economic Interests (Form 700) and assigns disclosure categories specifying the types of financial interests to be reported.

In 1990, Government Code Section 87306.5 was added to the Political Reform Act and mandates that a review of the Conflict of Interest Code be performed by the code reviewing body no later than July 1 of each even-numbered year. As the code reviewing body for the City of Paramount’s Conflict of Interest Code (Resolution No. 12:011), the City Council has until July 1, 2022 to provide direction to perform a review of the Code.

Following City Council’s direction, the City Clerk will submit the City’s Conflict of Interest Code to the City Attorney to review and determine if changes are necessary. The City Attorney will advise the City Clerk if changes to the Code are necessary. If it is determined that changes need to be made, as required by Government Code Section 87306.5, an amended Conflict of interest Code will be submitted to the City Council. If no changes are necessary, a written statement stating that no changes to the Conflict of Interest Code are required will be submitted to the City Council by October 3, 2022.

RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended that the City Council direct the City Clerk to commence a review of the City’s Conflict of Interest Code no later than July 1, 2022, and report the results to the City Council no later than October 3, 2022.

Subject: ACCEPTANCE OF TRACT MAP NO. 080390
6500-6510 ALONDRA BOULEVARD

BACKGROUND
Tract Map No. 080390 includes the parcels at 6500-6510 Alondra Boulevard, where the two (2) properties were subdivided to create ten single family residential lots. The two-lot site contains a total of 30,744 square feet (0.706 acre). 6500 Alondra Boulevard was vacant land that was the former site of Crooks Brothers Auto Body and 6510 Alondra Boulevard had two (2) housing units that were demolished for this new development.

The ten (10) new units are detached two-story single-family homes that consist of four (4) different floor plans, ranging in size from 1,711 and 1,828 square feet of floor area. The parcels range in size from 2,982 square feet to 3,445 square feet. All ten (10) homes have four (4) bedrooms and two-and-one-half bathrooms, an attached two-car garage, and two (2) driveway parking spaces.

DISCUSSION
The site consists of 0.706 acres and was developed with ten (10) units. This represents a development of 14.2 units per acre. The approval of the subject tract map allows the owner to sell the units for home ownership; otherwise the development would be destined as rental units.

The subject map (attached for your review) has been checked by the City Engineer and is mathematically correct and substantially conforms to the tentative conditions as approved by the City of Paramount’s Planning Commission on July 14, 2020.

VISION, MISSION, VALUES, AND STRATEGIC OUTCOMES
The City’s Vision, Mission, and Values set the standard for the organization; establish priorities, uniformity and guidelines; and provide the framework for policy decision making. The Strategic Outcomes were implemented to provide a pathway to achieving the City’s Vision. This item aligns with Strategic Outcome No.1: Safe Community.

From: John Moreno, City Manager
By: Maggie Matson, Public Safety Director
Danny Elizarraras, Management Analyst
Date: June 8, 2022
Subject: PARADE PERMIT APPLICATION FOR HYNES D.E.S. INC. — JUNE 26, 2022

BACKGROUND
Hynes D.E.S. Incorporated has submitted a parade permit application for its Divine Spirit of the Saint Parade, which is scheduled for Sunday, June 26, 2022. This is an annual event that has taken place every June since 1923. Unfortunately, due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, Hynes D.E.S. did not host a parade in 2020 and 2021. Approximately 150 people are expected to participate this year. Included in the parade will be two small bands.

Previous Parade Route
For many years, the parade route departed from the Hynes D.E.S. Hall located at 7812 Alondra Boulevard at 9:30 a.m. and headed eastward from Vermont Avenue along Alondra Boulevard and then northbound on Paramount Boulevard until it reached Our Lady of the Rosary Church. After attending mass, the participants would return to the Hynes D.E.S. Hall by retracing the above route. Public Safety and the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department would provide, on average, twelve Community Service Officers and two motorcycle deputies to work the event. Hynes D.E.S. would then reimburse the City of Paramount approximately $3,500 to cover the cost of the resources the City provided.

To reduce costs, in 2016, Hynes D.E.S. used an alternate route that kept them away from Paramount Boulevard for most of the parade and reduced the staff needed to provide traffic control from the Hynes D.E.S. Hall to Our Lady of the Rosary Church and back.

Recent Parade Route
For a more economical alternative for this year’s parade operations, the City recommends that Hynes D.E.S. Inc. contract four motorcade units (used commonly for funeral processions) for their parade. This is based on a recommendation from the City’s contracted Traffic Engineer. Along with the four contracted motorcade units for the parade, the City will provide six Community Service Officer units to work the event with the Community Service Officer Supervisor managing City staff. The City also requires Hynes D.E.S. to acquire liability insurance and make the City of Paramount, its officials, officers, employees, and agents an additional insured.

Agenda Report June 8, 2022
PARADE PERMIT APPLICATION FOR HYNES D.E.S. INC. Page 2
For this year’s route, the group will again depart from Hynes D.E.S. Hall located at 7812 Alondra Boulevard at 10:00 a.m. and will head northbound on Vermont Avenue. The parade will turn eastbound on Madison Street and northbound on Colorado Avenue. Once reaching Somerset Boulevard, the parade will go eastbound and then enter the Paramount Sheriff’s Station parking lot’s south entrance. The parade will continue northbound through the parking lot and conclude at the north end of the business park along Paramount Boulevard. Participants will then walk on the sidewalk on Paramount Boulevard to enter Our Lady of the Rosary Church, located at 14815 Paramount Boulevard. Mass is scheduled at 11:00 a.m. for participants. At approximately 12:15 p.m., after attending mass, the participants will return to the Hynes D.E.S. Hall by retracing the above route. Please refer to the parade map (Attachment A) and a copy of the parade application (Attachment B).

Mr. Michael Ormonde of Hynes D.E.S. Inc. has been notified that this year’s reimbursement amount will be approximately $1,650. A cost-savings for City personnel from previous years since they will be contracting four motorcade units for the event. He has agreed to reimburse the City for the personnel and services associated with the Hynes D.E.S. Inc. parade.

On May 24, 2022, the Public Safety Commission reviewed the item and recommended that the City Council approve the Hynes D.E.S. parade permit application. There were no expressed concerns from the Public Safety Commissioners regarding the item.

FISCAL IMPACT
Hynes D.E.S. Inc. will reimburse the City for all services rendered for their Divine Spirit of the Saint Parade.

VISION, MISSION, VALUES, AND STRATEGIC OUTCOMES
The City’s Vision, Mission, and Values set the standard for the organization; establish priorities, uniformity and guidelines; and provide the framework for policy decision making. The Strategic Outcomes were implemented to provide a pathway to achieving the Vision of a city that is safe, healthy, and attractive. This item aligns with Strategic Outcome No. 1: Safe Community.

RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended that the City Council approve the parade permit application with the understanding that Hynes D.E.S. Inc. will reimburse the City for approximately $1,650 for the cost to provide assistance for their annual parade.

This Report is prepared pursuant to action taken by the City Council of the City of Paramount (the “City Council”) at their regular meeting ordering a Report for the levy of assessments for the fiscal year commencing July 1, 2022 and ending June 30, 2023. The Report is prepared in recognition with the requirements of the California Constitution Article XIIID, and the provisions of the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, being Part 2 of Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code. The District is known as:

City of Paramount Landscape and Maintenance Assessment District No. 81-1 This District, by special benefit assessments, will provide funding for the operation and maintenance of public landscaping facilities within the public rights-of-way in the City of Paramount (the “City”). The items funded by the District are exempt from the procedural and approval requirements set forth in Section 5a & 5b of Article XIIID of the California Constitution that states: " the following assessments existing on the effective date of this Article shall be exempt from the procedures and approval process set forth in Section 4:
(a) any assessment imposed exclusively to finance the capital costs or maintenance and operation expenses for sidewalks, streets, sewers, water, flood control, drainage systems or vector control...
(b) any assessment imposed pursuant to a petition signed by the persons owning all of the parcels subject to the assessment at the time the assessment is initially imposed...

The assessments for the District were petitioned by 100 percent of the owners at the time of formation and are used exclusively to fund the maintenance and operation expenses for Landscape Improvements that are considered part of the Street Maintenance.

Furthermore, the assessments for the District have not been increased since prior to July 1, 1997. Therefore, the Assessment District is exempt from the procedural and approval requirements of Article XIIID.

PLAN FOR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT FUNDING

RELATED TO THE CARES ACT

BACKGROUND
The United States Congress passed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act and the President signed it on March 27, 2020, authorizing $2.2 trillion in a variety of stimulus measures to prevent, prepare for, and respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. The law included $2 billion Community Development Block Grant (CDBGCV1) for entitlement communities, of which, the City of Paramount received $466,928 in CDBG-CV1 funds. An additional $2 billion Community Development Block Grant (CDBGCV3) funds were allocated for states and local governments and the City received $468,314 in CDBG-CV3 funds for a cumulative total of $935,242 of CARES Act funding.

The City Council first authorized use of the CARES Act funding on May 19, 2020 through the 2019-2020 CDBG Action Plan to include Emergency Rental and Mortgage Assistance programs. The Action Plan was amended to reallocate funds between CDBG-CV1 and allocate CDBG-CV3 funds on February 16, 2021.

DISCUSSION
Interest in the Emergency Rental and Mortgage Assistance Programs has steadily declined since December 2021. The decline is largely attributed to larger subsidies being offered by County and/or State programs with less restrictive requirements to qualify for these County and/or State programs. Therefore, the City would like to reallocate the unexpended CDBG-CV funds to continue providing homeless prevention services to Paramount residents with the continued assistance from its Homeless Prevention Services partner, Family Promise of the South Bay.

Pursuant to the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) regulations, the City has prepared a draft amendment to the Annual Action Plan for the 2019-2020 Program Year to reallocate $97,313.06 of unexpended Emergency Rental and Mortgage Assistance Grant Program funds to the Homeless Prevention Services Program.

Agenda Report June 8, 2022

ADOPTION OF THE MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN
THE CITY OF PARAMOUNT AND TEAMSTERS LOCAL 911

BACKGROUND
The City of Paramount’s (City) only labor unit formed in 2019 and is represented by Teamsters Local 911 (bargaining unit). The bargaining unit consists of 22 nonmanagement employees of the Public Works Department. Staff has been in negotiations with the bargaining unit since February 2020 to develop a long-term collective bargaining agreement. Both the City and the bargaining unit have concluded negotiations and have reached a tentative agreement for a new Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), a copy of which is attached to this report. The terms of the MOU are based on a three-year agreement from June 8, 2022 through June 30, 2025. The bargaining unit ratified the proposed MOU on May 9, 2022.

DISCUSSION
The proposed MOU provides a fair wage increase schedule to members of the bargaining unit that aligns with the local Los Angeles/Orange County Consumer Price Index (CPI) increase of 8.3%. In addition to a 4% Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) provided to all full-time employees in February 2022, the proposed MOU includes scheduled wage increases over the next three Fiscal Years, beginning July 1, 2022. Each wage increase will be accompanied with a decrease in the Employer Paid Member Contribution (EPMC) by the City so that “Classic” CalPERS employees gradually pay the entire share of the employee portion of retirement costs. Employees who joined CalPERS after the 2013 Public Employee Pension Reform Act (PEPRA) was enacted will not be impacted by EPMC adjustments, as they already pay the entire share of their portion of retirement costs.

In a separate action, staff will recommend to the City Council that all non-represented fulltime employees receive the same wage and EMPC adjustments. The chart below describes the wage and EPMC adjustments.

Agenda Report June 8, 2022
RESOLUTION NO. 22:030 Page 2
COLA (Wage Increase) “Classic” CalPERS EPMC Adjustment
July 2022 5% 1.5%
July 2023 3% 1.5%
July 2024 2.5% 1.0%
The proposed MOU also provides clarity in numerous provisions with respect to City policies to align with longstanding practices, including categories of eligible overtime, holiday pay, jury duty, standby and call-back pay, and grievance procedures. It also includes an expansion (revision) of the Anniversary Achievement Award that provides full-time employees with a lump sum payment at each 5-year anniversary increment that they are employed with the City.

Virtually all provisions of the MOU with the bargaining unit closely mirror the City’s Personnel Manual, which serves as the organization’s comprehensive administrative policy. However, some provisions of the proposed MOU will be incorporated into the Personnel Manual so that the MOU closely reflects the City’s policies and procedures that apply to all City employees.

Fiscal Impact
The proposed wage increases for all employees, coupled with the EMPC adjustments, will result in a net General Fund expenditure increase of $290,000 beginning on July 1, 2022, an additional $160,000 beginning on July 1, 2023, and increased again by $150,000 on July 1, 2024. The Anniversary Achievement Award will cost approximately $10,000 to $30,000 per year to implement depending on the amount of employees and anniversary year in which they reach their milestone within in a particular Fiscal Year.

VISION, MISSION, VALUES, AND STRATEGIC OUTCOMES
The City’s Vision, Mission, and Values set the standard for the organization; establish priorities, uniformity and guidelines; and provide the framework for policy decision making. The Strategic Outcomes were implemented to provide a pathway to achieving the City’s Vision. This item aligns with Strategic Outcome No. 6: Efficient, Effective, and Fiscally Responsible – Deliver an efficient and effective City government in a fiscally responsible, transparent, and collaborative manner.

RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended that the City Council read by title only and adopt Resolution No. 22:030, authorizing the City Manager to execute the Memorandum of Understanding between the City of Paramount and Teamsters Local 911, expiring June 30, 2025.

The management representatives and the representatives of the Union have reached an understanding as to recommendations to be made to the City Council for the City of Paramount and to the membership of the Union.

Section 2: No Discrimination
The provisions of this Memorandum of Understanding shall be applied equally to all employees covered hereby. Neither the City nor the Union shall discriminate against any individual or employee with respect to his/her compensation, terms, condition, or privileges of employment or because of an individual’s race, color, sex, religion, national origin, age, marital status, disability, pregnancy, sexual orientation, political or religious opinions or affiliations, or membership or nonmembership in the Union.

The City and Teamsters agree that the City’s policies set forth in the City of Paramount’s Personnel Policies and Procedures Manual shall be applied in a non- discriminatory manner as prohibited by state and federal anti-discrimination, anti-harassment, and whistleblower laws.

Employees shall not be subject to intimidation, retaliation, coercion, or discrimination for exercising their rights under these policies.

The Parties agree that claims of discrimination, harassment, or retaliation shall be processed under the City’s EEO and prevention of Harassment and Discrimination Policies.

3. No political campaign advocacy shall be posted for federal, state or local elections.

B. Access to Facilities

Nothing herein shall be construed to prevent a Union representative or an employee from contacting the Human Resources Director or other management representatives regarding personnel related matters during work hours. The authorized Union Business Agent shall be given access to work locations during working hours provided that prior to visiting any work location the Union representative shall obtain authorization for the visit from the Human Resources Director or designee.

In the event the requested time and/or location of such visit by the Union Business Agent is denied because it would interfere with the operations of the department, the Human Resources Director or designee shall consult with the Union Business Agent regarding availability and set an alternative time and/or location for such visit within seventy-two (72) hours of the request.

The Union may schedule meetings in the City facilities during non-work hours (8 a.m. to 5 p.m.) so long as these facilities are not in use by submitting a written request to the Human Resources Director or designee, which shall include the date, time, and number of people expected.

Section 5: Merit Steps

Section 6: Training and Recertification Time
Training and/or recertification time that is required by the employee’s then current job description on file with the Human Resources Department or approved in advance by the Department Head is compensable.
13 ARTICLE FIVE: OVERTIME
Section 1: Overtime Authorization
All overtime requests must have prior written authorization of the respective supervisor prior to the commencement of such overtime work. Where prior written authorization is not feasible, explicit verbal authorization must be obtained. Where verbal authorization is obtained, written authorization must be obtained as soon thereafter as practicable.

Section 2: F.L.S.A. Overtime
Non-exempt employees who actually work more than 40 hours in a designated seven-day workweek shall be paid or accrue compensatory time (at the employee’s discretion) at one and onehalf (1.5) times the straight time hourly rate for all hours worked in excess of 40 in any workweek.

An employee may elect a preference to accrue compensatory time in lieu of overtime pay. As required by law, overtime pay is based on actual hours worked. For purposes of overtime calculations, paid leave will not be considered as actual hours worked, except for Bereavement Leave and Jury Duty.

Special Events
Non-exempt represented Public Works employees will be paid at the overtime rate for select special events determined by the City Manager or designee, so long as the special event falls outside of the regularly scheduled hours. Under this provision, if an employee takes any unplanned paid leave during the same work week, except for Jury Duty or Bereavement, those hours will be deducted from the number of hours paid for special event overtime in lieu of being deducted from the employee’s accrued leave bank of hours. For example, if an employee signs up to work a special event for 9 hours on Saturday, then calls in sick or takes unplanned vacation for their 9 hour shift the following Monday in the same work week, hours from Monday’s absence will be counted toward the hours worked on Saturday at straight time. However, if the employee has preapproval from their supervisor for planned time off obtained at least one week in advance of the time requested, the employee will be paid overtime for the special event, and they may also use paid leave for the preapproved time off later in the same week.

Section 3: Compensatory Time
In lieu of cash payment, an employee may request compensatory time for overtime worked. Accrual of compensatory time shall be limited at any point in time to a maximum of forty (40) normal working hours. Compensatory time shall be calculated by multiplying the number of overtime hours worked by 1.5 the regular hourly rate.

A. Overtime shall be compensated as mutually agreed upon in advance by employee and employer.

B. Scheduling of compensatory time requires prior management approval and must be preceded by a ten (10) day notice of intended use from the employee. Management may waive the ten (10) day notice in cases of emergency. Compensatory time off may be taken 14 only in 15 minute increments. The ten (10) day notice requirement shall not apply to attendance at funerals; the employee will notify management as soon as the need to be absent for a funeral is known.

C. Upon promotion to an FLSA exempt classification, all compensatory time off shall be cashed out prior to promotion at the employee’s current regular rate of pay in the nonexempt classification.

A. All regular full-time employees summoned to serve on jury duty shall be provided “Jury Duty Pay” and there shall be no loss of compensation. An employee will be compensated up to ten (10) work days based on City Hall schedule at full pay for jury duty. The employee must provide notice of the expected jury duty to his or her supervisor as soon as possible, but in no case later than 14 calendar days before the expected start date of the jury duty.

B. An employee on call for jury duty is expected to report to work. An employee who is called in for jury duty does not have to report to work before or after appearing in court. All employees shall obtain verification of the hours of jury duty performed using verification forms as may be supplied by the court. Employees shall notify their supervisor either in person, verbally, voicemail message or in writing (electronic), as immediately as possible following notification from the court each day that they are selected to report for Jury Duty.

Employees shall notify their Supervisor, either in person, verbally, voicemail message or in writing (electronic), on the day they are released from their jury duty obligations.

Employees shall be reimbursed by the City for the mileage portion of the jury duty compensation. Jury duty performed on an employee’s regular day off shall not be compensated by the city and the employee shall be entitled only to the court’s compensation for duty performed on such employee’s regular day off. Employees assigned to jury duty on a holiday will be considered to have taken such a holiday and will receive regular holiday pay, but the employee shall be entitled to the jury compensation for duty performed on such holiday.

D. For those employees working graveyard and swing shift, or other shifts starting at an early and/or late hour (i.e., 5:00 a.m. or 9:00 p.m.), Management shall reschedule the employee to a day shift with a start time ranging between 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. Monday thru Friday while the employee is serving on jury duty. This temporary workweek reassignment shall be for the balance of the scheduled workweek. Reassignment of duties may also be made to maximize an employee’s productivity prior to, and following release from jury duty.

E. If an employee is required to serve on a jury for a period longer than two weeks, the employee shall be entitled, at the employees’ option, to use any accrued leave time, other than sick time, during the period of extended jury service. The employee shall continue to receive all paid benefits, and shall continue to accrue eligible leave benefits.

Section 2: Bereavement Leave
Permanent full-time employees, regardless of period of service, may in the event of death of any “immediate family member.” “Immediate family” is limited to any relative of blood or marriage who is a member of the employee’s household, under the same roof, and any parent, grandparent, spouse, registered domestic partner, child, brother, sister, father-in-law, brother-in-law, mother-in- 23 law, or sister-in-law of the employee, regardless of residence including the equivalent relatives of a registered domestic partner, be allowed up to the equivalent of three (3) work days (total hours may vary depending on work schedule) of bereavement leave without loss of salary.

The bereavement leave begins on the first regularly scheduled workday as requested by the employee. Bereavement leave must be authorized by the employee's Department Director and must be utilized within 15 days of employee learning of the death of the immediate family member, unless special circumstances require that the leave begin at a later date. Such requests to the Department Director shall be made within 15 days of the employee learning of the death and shall not be unreasonably denied.

Upon written verification that funeral services or other related obligations necessitate travel outside of California, the employee shall be entitled to use up to two (2) additional days of accrued leave (vacation, compensatory time, or sick leave; said leave to be recorded as vacation, etc.). 24 ARTICLE THIRTEEN: WORK SCHEDULE AND WORKING CONDITIONS Section 1: Provisions
The seven (7) day work period shall begin on Saturday at 12:00 a.m. and end on Friday at 11:59:59 p.m. except as modified by management. In the event the City needs to adjust any work schedule, the City agrees that no such modification will be conducted without first notifying the affected employees a minimum of ten (10) days prior to the change, unless agreed to by the affected employee(s) and the Department Director.

Section 2: Work Schedule
Work shifts, days, and hours can be modified by the City within the limits prescribed by law, based on operating conditions and requirements. Employees may not change their own regular schedule without approval. Employees may request a change in work schedule through their manager. The manager will obtain approval from the City Manager, or designee, on the requested change in work schedule. Employees are not permitted to exchange shifts with another employee without the prior authorization of both employees’ supervisors.

The City may consider approval of an alternate work week schedule or flexible time for specific positions based on service levels and operational needs. Alternate and flexible work schedules must be approved by the City Manager.

It is understood that the City has established a workweek for each covered employee which meets the requirement of the FLSA and which will not result in overtime compensation as part of the normal work schedule. Each non-exempt employee shall be assigned a designated FLSA workweek for the correct calculation of overtime. Regardless of the assigned regular work schedule, the City has the right to require an employee to work any time before or after the work of the regular workday or regular work week, including weekends, evenings and/or holidays. Employees may be required to work overtime.

All employees shall receive a minimum of two 10-minute breaks and a thirty (30) minute lunch period per workday. Employees are required to be at their designated starting time, in appropriate work attire, ready to work.
25 ARTICLE FOURTEEN: GRIEVANCEPROCEDURE

PURPOSE AND SCOPE
The purpose of this Article is to provide for a mutually acceptable method for the prompt resolution of employee grievances over the misinterpretation or misapplication of a particular provision of this MOU, or City Personnel Rules. The City and Union recognize the importance of a viable grievance procedure to aid in the resolution of disputes among employees, supervisors and management.

Union and City agree that it is in their best interests to resolve disputes at the earliest opportunity and at the lowest level.

GRIEVANCE DEFINITION
A grievance shall be defined as an allegation by an employee or the Union of a misinterpretation, misapplication, or violation of a particular provision of this MOU, City policy, rule, or past practice.

This procedure shall not apply to complaints of discrimination, harassment or retaliation. This procedure shall not apply to performance evaluations or discipline.

DAYS
Days shall be defined for the purposes of this Article as any day in which the City Hall is open to the public for the general conduct of business.

GRIEVANCE PRESENTATION AND PROCEDURES
Employees shall have the right to present their own grievance or do so through their Union representative.

Grievances shall be processed on standard forms provided by the Department of Human Resources and shall contain information which (a) identifies the aggrieved, (b) contains the specific nature of the grievance, (c) indicates the time or place of its occurrence, if known, (d) states the article(s) of the MOU, City policy, rule or past practice which have been violated, misinterpreted or misapplied, (e) indicates the persons contacted at the informal stage, if applicable, and (f) states the corrective action desired. Grievances may be submitted via email, so long as the employee attaches the grievance form to the email by the required time line. If an employee includes attachments to the grievance form and those attachments are not included in the email or in-person submission, the City shall notify the employee that all attachments were not included and that the deadline for the City to respond to the grievance will not begin to run until all the attachments are received.

Failure by management to reply to the employee’s grievance within the time limits specified automatically grants to the employee the right to process the grievance to the next level. If an employee fails to appeal from one level to the next within the time limits established in this grievance procedure, the grievance shall be considered settled on the basis of the last decision, and the grievance shall not be subject to further appeal or reconsideration.

All time periods specified in this procedure may be extended by mutual written (including email) consent of the aggrieved employee (e), Union representative and the designated management representative.
26 INFORMAL PROCEDURE
Within eight (8) days of the date the employee(s) knew or reasonably should have known of the incident giving rise to the grievance, the employee may discuss the complaint with his/her immediate supervisor. Employees are encouraged to discuss complaints with their immediate supervisor in an attempt to resolve the grievance at the lowest possible step.

An employee, at his or her sole discretion, may opt to skip the informal procedure resolution process and instead go directly to Step One. If an employee chooses to proceed with the Informal Procedure, he/she or their union representative shall inform the Assistant City Manager, within one day of initiating the Informal Procedure, that he/she has initiated the Informal Procedure and the date the informal grievance was first discussed with his/her supervisor. Within eight (8) days of the discussion with the employee, the supervisor shall verbally respond to the employee’s complaint. If the employee is dissatisfied or if the supervisor fails to respond, the employee shall have access to the formal grievance process described below:

FORMAL PROCEDURE
Step One - Immediate Supervisor
Within the time period referenced above, or if the employee chooses to skip the Informal Procedure, within eight (8) days of the date the employee(s) knew or reasonably should have known of the incident giving rise to the grievance, the employee(s) or the Union shall initiate the grievance procedure by explaining the situation in writing, with the information prescribed above, to the immediate supervisor of the affected employee(s). The Union and/or employee(s) waive the right to proceed with the grievance if the grievant does not initiate the procedure by this deadline. After the presentation of the grievance to the supervisor, the supervisor shall make a decision and present his/her decision, in writing, to the Union and employee(s) within eight (8) days.

Step Two – Department Director
If the Union or employee(s) is not satisfied with the decision of the immediate supervisor, the grievant(s) shall present the grievance, in writing, to the grievant’s Department Director within eight (8) days of the decision of the immediate supervisor. The Union and/or employee(s) waive the right to proceed with the grievance if the grievant(s) does not act by this deadline. Within eight (8) days, the Department Director, or the designee of the Department Director, shall meet with the Union and employee(s) to hear the grievance. Within eight (8) days of hearing the grievance, the Department Director or designee shall present his/her decision, in writing, to the Union and employee(s), with copies to the Human Resource Director and the City Administrator.

Step Three - City Manager/Advisory Arbitration
If the Union or employee(s) is not satisfied with the result of the meeting with the Department Head, the grievant may request the matter be heard by the City Manager or designee or the Union may choose to have the matter heard by an impartial hearing officer (arbitrator).

Should the matter be submitted directly to the City Manager or designee, he/she shall meet with the Union and/or employee(s) within eight (8) days of receipt of the grievant’s written notice. If the Union and/or employee(s) elects to have the matter heard by the City Manager or designee, the 27 Union and/or employee(s) waives the right to have the matter heard by an arbitrator. Within eight (8) days of hearing the grievance, the City Manager shall provide his/her decision, in writing, to the Union and employee(s). The decision of the City Manager shall be final and binding.

If the Union elects arbitration, costs of the arbitration shall be shared equally between the Union and the City. A court reporter shall be retained only by mutual consent of the parties. The costs of the arbitration, including the court reporter, shall be divided in half (i.e. 50/50) by the parties.

Attorney fees, staff time and witness fees shall not be shared between the parties and shall be paid by the party that incurred the cost.

If the Union elects arbitration, the City shall request a list of five (5) arbitrators registered with the California State Conciliation Service or some other mutually agreed upon source within ten (10) days of the Union’s request. The Union may delete/strike two names from the list. The City will then select the arbitrator from the remaining names on the list. The selected arbitrator shall serve as the hearing officer. All arbitration proceedings arising under the Grievance procedure shall be governed by the provisions of Title 9, Part 3, of the Code of Civil Procedure of the State of California.

Within eight (8) days of receipt of the arbitrator's recommendation, the City Manager shall provide his/her decision, in writing, to the Union and employee(s). The decision of the City Manager shall be final and binding.

All time limits specified in the foregoing procedure may be waived only by mutual written agreement.

From: John Moreno, City Manager
By: Kim Sao, Finance Director
Date: June 8, 2022
Subject: RESOLUTION NO. 22:032

ADOPTING THE STATEMENT OF INVESTMENT POLICY FOR THE CITY OF PARAMOUNT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2022 – 2023

BACKGROUND
California Government Code Section 53646 recommends that local agencies review and approve their investment policy once a year at a public meeting. While it is not required by statute, it is in the best interest of the City to discuss the policy with the City Council and have the policy approved and adopted. A public vote signifies that the City Council shares fiduciary responsibility with the City’s treasurer and increases the authority and legitimacy of the investment policy, providing for transparency and disclosure. We believe that the annual review and adoption is a financially sound organizational practice that should be maintained even if there are no changes to the policy. The City has been adopting the investment policy each year and as of the last adopted policy in June 2021, there had been no changes to the policy since 2001.

This year, staff has revised the existing policy to better reflect the City’s objectives and priorities for safety, liquidity, and yield.

Below are highlights of the updated policy:

1. The City’s primary objectives, in order of priority, remain as follows:
a. Safety of principal,
b. Liquidity, and
c. Yield
While there is investment risk associated with any investment activity, there is also opportunity risk related to inactivity. Our goals and objectives will be to actively manage our idle cash to earn a greater yield while keeping safety and liquidity as our first and foremost priority.

2. Restrictive and conservative – To safeguard investment principal and align with the City’s low risk tolerance, the updated policy is more restrictive than previous versions. We have narrowed the long list of investments allowed by State law to the ones on the safest end of the investment spectrum – these include debt issued by the U.S. Treasury, U.S. Government Agencies, and debt that are federally insured or sufficiently collateralized.

\\FILESRV01\Dept\Finance\Admin\AGENDA\Investment Policy\FY 2023 Agenda - Investment Policy (6-8-22 CC Mtg).docx; 6/2/2022 8:04 AM

3. Conformity – This updated policy follows the format and guidelines recommended by the California Municipal Treasurers Association’s (CMTA) Investment Policy Certification Program. In addition, the policy has been developed with the assistance of two consulting firms, Time Value Investments, Inc. and Kosmont Transaction Services which specialize in investment services for local agencies like Paramount. We are confident that this policy meets the guidelines and industry best practices for California’s public sector agencies, and therefore, we will be submitting the policy to CMTA for peer review and certification.

SUMMARY
We believe that the Investment Policy (Exhibit A) provides guidelines for the prudent investment of the City’s temporary idle cash and outlines the procedures for maximizing the efficiency of the City’s cash management. This Investment Policy has been prepared in conformance with the existing laws of the State of California for General Law cities and adheres to the standards set forth by the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA), the Municipal Treasurers' Association of the United States and Canada (MTA US&C), and the California Municipal Treasurer’s Association (CMTA).

VISION, MISSION, VALUES, AND STRATEGIC OUTCOMES
The City’s Vision, Mission, and Values set the standard for the organization; establish priorities, uniformity and guidelines; and provide the framework for policy decision making. The Strategic Outcomes were implemented to provide a pathway to achieving the City’s Vision. This item aligns with Strategic Outcome No. 6 Efficient, Effective, and Fiscally Responsible.

RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended that the City Council read by title only and adopt Resolution No. 22:032.

1. Policy
The City of Paramount shall invest public funds in such a manner as to comply with state and local laws; ensure prudent money management; provide for daily cash flow requirements; and meet the objectives of the Policy, in priority order of Safety, Liquidity and Return on investment. In accordance with the Municipal Code of the City of Paramount and under authority granted by the City Council, the City Finance Director is responsible for investing the unexpended cash in the City Treasury.

2. Scope
The investment policy applies to all investment activities and financial assets of the City of Paramount as accounted for in the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR).

This policy is applicable, but not limited to, all funds listed below:
• General Fund
• Capital Funds
• Other Special Revenue Funds, Debt Service Funds, Internal Service Funds • Trust and Agency Funds
• Any new fund created by the City Council unless specifically exempted.

3. Prudence
The standard of prudence to be used by the designated representative shall be the “prudent investor” standard and shall be applied in the context of managing the overall portfolio. Persons authorized to make investment decisions on behalf of local agencies investing public funds are trustees and therefore fiduciaries subject to the prudent investor standard which states, “When investing, reinvesting, purchasing, acquiring, exchanging, selling, or managing public funds, a trustee shall act with care, skill, prudence, and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing, including, but not limited to, the general economic conditions and the anticipated needs of the agency, that a prudent person acting in a like capacity and familiarity with those matters would use in the conduct of funds of a like character and with like aims, to safeguard the principal and maintain the liquidity needs of the agency”.

The City Finance Director and other individuals assigned to manage the investment portfolio, acting within the intent and scope of the investment policy and other written procedures and exercising due diligence, shall be relieved of personal responsibility and liability for an individual security's credit risk or market price changes, provided deviations from expectations are reported in a timely manner and appropriate action is taken to control adverse developments.

4. Objectives
The City’s primary investment objectives, in order of priority, shall be:

1. Safety: Safety of principal is the foremost objective of the investment program.

Investments shall be undertaken in a manner that seeks to ensure the preservation of capital in the overall portfolio. The City shall seek to preserve principal by mitigating the two types of risk: credit risk and market risk.

City of Paramount – Investment Policy 3
a. Credit risk, defined as the risk of loss due to failure of the issuer of a security, shall be mitigated by investing in issuers that carry the direct or implied backing of the U.S. Government (including, but not limited to, the U.S.

Treasury, U.S. Government Agencies, and federally insured banks). The portfolio will be diversified so that the failure of any one issuer does not unduly harm the City's capital base and cash flow.
b. Market risk, (aka “interest rate risk”) defined as market value fluctuations due to overall changes in the general level of interest rates shall be mitigated by limiting the maximum maturity of any one security to five years, structuring the portfolio based on historic and current cash flow analysis eliminating the need to sell securities prior to maturity and avoiding the purchase of long-term securities for the sole purpose of short term speculation. Moreover, it is the City's full intent, at the time of purchase, to hold all investments until maturity to ensure the return of all invested principal dollars. Limited exceptions will be granted for security swaps that would improve the portfolio’s yield and/or credit quality.

2. Liquidity: The City’s investment portfolio will remain sufficiently liquid to enable the City of Paramount to meet all operating requirements which might be reasonably anticipated.

3. Return on Investments: The City’s investment portfolio shall have the objective of attaining a comparative performance measurement or an acceptable rate of return throughout budgetary and economic cycles. These measurements should be commensurate with the City’s investment risk constraints identified in this Investment Policy and the cash flow characteristics of the portfolio.

5. Delegation of Authority

3. Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF), which is a State of California managed investment pool, and Los Angeles County Investment pool, may be used up to the maximum permitted by California State Law. A review of the pool/fund is required when part of the list of authorized investments, with the knowledge that the pool/fund may include some investments allowed by statute but not explicitly identified in this investment policy.

Additionally, shares of beneficial interest issued by a joint powers authority organized pursuant to CA Code (Section 6509.7) that invests in the securities and obligations in compliance with CA Code 53601 (subsection ‘a’ to ‘r’, inclusive) are also authorized. Each share shall represent an equal proportional interest in the City of Paramount – Investment Policy 5

9. Review of Investment Portfolio
The securities held by the City of Paramount must be in compliance with Section 8.0 “Authorized and Suitable Investments” at the time of purchase. The Finance Director should review the portfolio (at least annually) to identify those securities that do not comply.

The Finance Director should establish procedures to report any major and critical incidences of noncompliance identified through the review of the portfolio.

10. Investment Pools / Money Market Funds
A thorough investigation of the investment pool/money market fund is required prior to investing, and on a continual basis. Best efforts will be made to acquire the following information:

1. A description of eligible investment securities, and a written statement of investment policy and objectives.

2. A description of interest calculations and how it is distributed, and how gains and losses are treated.

3. A description of how the securities are safeguarded (including the settlement processes), and how often the securities are priced and the program audited.

City of Paramount – Investment Policy 7

4. A description of who may invest in the program, how often, what size deposit and withdrawal are allowed.

5. A schedule for receiving statements and portfolio listings.

6. Are reserves, retained earnings, etc. utilized by the pool/fund?

7. A fee schedule, and when and how is it assessed.

8. Is the pool/fund eligible for bond proceeds and/or will it accept such proceeds?

11. Collateralization
Collateralization will be required on two types of investments: non-negotiable certificates of deposit and repurchase (and reverse repurchase) agreements. To anticipate market changes and provide a level of security for all funds, the collateralization level will be 110% of market value for non-negotiable certificate of deposit and 102% for reverse repurchase agreements of principal and accrued interest.

Collateral will always be held by an independent third party with whom the entity has a current custodial agreement. A clearly marked evidence of ownership (safekeeping receipt) must be supplied to the entity and retained.

The City may waive the collateralization requirements for any portion of the deposit that is covered by Federal Deposit Insurance.

12. Safekeeping and Custody
All security transactions shall be conducted on a delivery-versus-payment (DVP) basis.

Securities will be held by a third-party custodian designated by the Treasurer and evidenced by safekeeping receipts.

13. Diversification
The City shall diversify the investments within the portfolio to avoid incurring unreasonable risks inherent in over-investing in specific instruments, individual financial institutions, or maturities. To promote diversification, no more than 5% of the portfolio may be invested in the securities of any one issuer, regardless of security type, excluding U.S.

Treasuries, federal agencies, and pooled investments such as LAIF, money market funds, or local government investment pools.

14. Maximum Maturities
To the extent possible, the City of Paramount will attempt to match its investments with anticipated cash flow requirements. Unless matched to a specific cash flow, the City will not directly invest in securities maturing more than 5 years from the date of purchase.

Any investment longer than 5 years must be done with advance permission from City Council.

City of Paramount – Investment Policy 8

15. Internal Controls
The Finance Director is responsible for establishing and maintaining an internal control structure designed to ensure that the assets of the City of Paramount are protected from loss, theft, fraud or misuse.

Separation of functions between the City’s Finance Director or Assistant Finance Director and/or the City Senior Accountant is designed to provide an ongoing internal review to prevent the potential for converting assets or concealing transactions.

Investment decisions are made by the Finance Director, executed by the Finance Director or Assistant Finance Director, and confirmed by the Senior Accountant. All wire transfers initiated by the Finance Director or Assistant Finance Director must be reconfirmed by the appropriate financial institution to the Senior Accountant. Proper documentation obtained from confirmation and cash disbursement wire transfers is required for each investment transaction. Timely bank reconciliation is conducted to ensure proper handling of all transactions.

The investment portfolio and all related transactions are reviewed and balanced to appropriate general ledger accounts by the Senior Accountant on a monthly basis. An independent analysis by an external auditor shall be conducted annually to review and perform procedure testing on the City’s cash and investments that have a material impact on the financial statements. The Finance Director shall review and assure compliance with investment process and procedures.

16. Performance Standards
The investment portfolio shall be designed with the objective of obtaining a rate of return throughout budgetary and economic cycles, commensurate with the investment risk constraints and the cash flow needs.

The City intends to spread its investments relatively evenly between 0 and 5 years and hold those investments to maturity. The City is limiting its authorized investments to the safest end of the investment spectrum—debt issued by the U.S. Treasury, U.S.

Government Agencies, and debt that is federally insured (see section 8.0 Authorized and Suitable Investments, above, for a complete list of authorized investments).

Therefore, an appropriate performance benchmark will be a Constant Treasury Maturity Rate consistent with the weighted average maturity of the portfolio. The City recognizes that benchmarks may change over time based on changes in market conditions or cash flow requirements.

17. Reporting
The City Finance Director shall review and render quarterly reports to the City Council that include the following information:
• Investment type (e.g. U.S. Treasury Note, U.S. Government Agency Bond) • Name of the issuer (e.g. Federal Farm Credit Bank, Federal Home Loan Bank) • Maturity date
City of Paramount – Investment Policy 9
• Yield to maturity
• Current market value and source of market value
• Par and dollar amount for each security the City has invested in • Par and dollar amount on any money held by the City (e.g. LAIF balance, Cash Balance).

The report shall also include a description of any of the City’s funds, investments, or programs that are under the management of contracted parties, including lending programs.

The quarterly report shall state compliance of the portfolio to the investment policy, or manner in which the portfolio is not in compliance.

The quarterly report shall include a statement denoting the ability of the City to meet its expenditure requirements for the next six months or provide an explanation as to why sufficient money shall (or may not) be available.

The quarterly reports shall be placed on the City Council’s meeting agenda for its review and approval no later than 30 days after the quarter ends. If there are no Council meetings within the 30-day period, the quarterly report shall be presented to the Council at the soonest possible meeting thereafter.

18. Investment Policy Adoption
The City of Paramount’s investment policy shall be adopted by resolution of the City Council. The policy shall be reviewed annually by the City Council and any modifications made thereto must be approved by the City Council.

The Finance Director shall establish written investment policy procedures for the operation of the investment program consistent with this policy. The procedures should include reference to: safekeeping, master repurchase agreements, wire transfer agreements, banking service contracts and collateral/depository agreements. Such procedures shall include explicit delegation of authority to persons responsible for investment transactions. No person may engage in an investment transaction except as provided under the terms of this policy and the procedures established by the City of Paramount.

BACKGROUND
In 2020, the City of Paramount Public Works Department applied for Highway Safety Improvement Program State Local (HSIPSL) program funding through the State of California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) for two traffic safety improvement projects. These include the installation of a traffic signal at the intersection of Alondra Boulevard and Passage Avenue and various traffic safety improvements citywide.

DISCUSSION
In March 2021, the City was notified that both traffic safety improvement projects submitted in 2020 had been funded as follows:
- Traffic Signal Installation at the intersection of Alondra Blvd and Passage Avenue:
$331,900
- Traffic Safety improvements at various intersections: $250,000 Caltrans staff indicated that a process needed to be followed in order to authorize the disbursement of funds. On May 3, 2022, staff received notification from Caltrans that the traffic signal at the intersection of Alondra Boulevard and Passage Avenue was ready to proceed.

Per Caltrans requirements, a resolution is needed to identify the authorized signatory for any and all Caltrans Agreements. The attached resolution identifies the City Manager as the authority to sign on behalf of the City for the current agreements, and any future agreements with Caltrans.

Subject: AGREEMENT WITH KILEY & ASSOCIATES, LLC FOR FEDERAL

LEGISLATIVE ADVOCACY SERVICES FOR A ONE-YEAR TRIAL

BACKGROUND
The City of Paramount has established a strong advocacy program to protect the City’s legislative interests in Sacramento and Washington, D.C. With Congressional and State priorities constantly changing, it behooves local agencies to procure legislative advocacy services to assist with securing grants, discretionary funding, and services to advance legislative agendas. The City’s legislative agenda is reflected in its Legislative Platform, which serves as a valuable framework when taking a position on issues that affect the City.

The City contracts with the advocacy firm Joe A. Gonsalves & Sons to represent Paramount on state issues in the California State Legislature, but does not have representation at the federal level.

DISCUSSION
To strengthen the City’s influence at the federal level, the City Council may consider entering into an agreement for federal advocacy services.

Survey
In May 2022, staff surveyed ten neighboring cities regarding their state and federal lobbyists. The survey results showed that all of the cities work with a state advocacy firm, and five cities utilize a federal lobbyist.

Founded in 2009, Kiley & Associates, LLC has a seasoned team of professionals with decades of presence in Washington, D.C. and with strong California connections. Kiley & Associates, LLC possesses significant experience and maintains close relationships with the City’s federal representatives, Capitol staff, federal agency staff, and other industry lobbyists. As an example of their work, following the 2020 Delta Airlines fuel release incident over certain areas in Southeast Los Angeles County, Kiley & Associates, LLC worked with local cities, Congressional staff, and the Federal Aviation Administration to secure financial reimbursements for those affected by the incident.

If authorized by the City Council, Kiley & Associates, LLC would represent the City’s interests by working with our federal representatives and officials to support or oppose federal legislation and services on a one-year trial program. At the end of the one-year trial, staff will report back to the City Council on its progress and provide a recommendation for future services.

Special Projects
Staff has identified several projects in Fiscal Year 23 (FY 23) that would significantly impact the City if successful at the federal level. In addition to their general scope of services, Kiley & Associates, LLC would focus on the following projects:
• “Wing Tip” Tax - California statue dictates that local tax revenue derived from jet fuel sales, including Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), shall be diverted to the agency of where the airport is located, known as a “wing tip” tax. A new 2020 Federal Aviation Administration ruling has further reinforced this law. Despite SAF being produced and delivered from Paramount to several airports, the City does not benefit from any SAF sales tax. Kiley & Associates, LLC would represent Paramount in an attempt to amend this federal law to allow only those cities that host bio-fuel refineries, like Paramount, to collect local tax revenue on a portion of SAF sales.
• American Rescue Plan Act - In 2021, the U.S. Department of Treasury allocated $18.9 million to Paramount as part of the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA). This one-time funding source will help the City enhance our water infrastructure, help small businesses, provide homeless support services, and offer City Council discretionary funds for the community. Kiley & Associates, LLC would guide staff Agenda Report June 8, 2022
LEGISLATIVE ADVOCACY SERVICES KILEY & ASSOCIATES, LLC Page 3 in complying with the Treasury Department’s comprehensive performance and financial reporting requirements of ARPA funds. Moreover, Kiley & Associates, LLC would help identify further ARPA funding opportunities, including federal infrastructure grants.
• Community Project Funding - Each fiscal year staff solicits its Congressional representatives for Community Project Funding to meet the community needs across Paramount. In 2021, Congresswoman Lucille Roybal-Allard awarded Paramount $550,000 to improve access to the Paramount Education Partnership (PEP) Scholarship Program after the program experienced funding losses due to COVID-19. Kiley & Associates, LLC would guide the City to acquire more Community Project Funding from federal appropriations to help shape meaningful community enhancements in Paramount.

Fiscal Impact
Kiley & Associates, LLC has quoted the City $40,000 per year for federal advocacy services. Funding for federal advocacy services has been appropriated in the FY 2022- 2023 budget. Paramount Municipal Code 3.12.080 exempts bidding and authorizes the City Manager to enter into and execute contracts for professional services when the cost of such services does not exceed $40,000.

VISION, MISSION, VALUES, AND STRATEGIC OUTCOMES
The City’s Vision, Mission, and Values set the standard for the organization; establish priorities, uniformity and guidelines; and provide the framework for policy decision making.

(ii) It shall be a requirement under this contract that any available insurance proceeds broader than or in excess of the specified minimum insurance coverage requirements and/or limits shall be available to the Additional Insured. Furthermore, the requirements for coverage and limits shall be (1) the broader coverage and maximum limits specified in this contract; or (2) the broader coverage and maximum limits of coverage of any insurance policy or proceeds available to the named insured; whichever is greater.
(iii) The limits of insurance required in the Agreement may be satisfied by a combination of primary and umbrella or excess insurance. Any umbrella or excess insurance shall contain or be endorsed to contain a provision that such coverage shall also apply on a primary and noncontributory basis for the benefit of the CITY (if agreed to in a written contract) before the CITY’s own insurance or self-insurance shall be called upon to protect it as a named insured.
(iv) Any failure to comply with reporting provisions of the policies shall not affect coverage provided to the CITY, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees, agents or volunteers.
{00009748.DOCX V1}
-5-

(v) The insurance provided by these policies shall not be suspended, voided, canceled, or reduced in coverage or in limits except after thirty days written notice has been received by the CITY. (c) Additional Insured. The CITY will be named as an additional insured for all liability arising out of the operations by or on behalf of the named insured, and this policy protects the additional insured, its officers, agents and employees against liability for personal and bodily injuries, deaths or property damage or destruction arising in any respect, directly or indirectly, in the performance of the contract.
(i) Each such policy shall be endorsed with the following language:

The City of Paramount, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees and volunteers are included as insureds with regard to damages and defense of claims arising from: (a) activities performed by or on behalf of the Named Insured, including the insured's general supervision of the Named Insured, (b) products and completed operations of the Named Insured, or (c) premises owned, leased or used by the Named Insured.
(ii) This policy shall be considered primary insurance as respects the CITY, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees, agents and volunteers. Any insurance maintained by the CITY, including any self-insured retention the City may have, shall be considered excess insurance only and shall not contribute with it. (iii) The inclusion of more than one insured shall not operate to impair the rights of one insured against another insured, and the coverages afforded shall apply as though separate policies had been issued to each insured.
(iv) The Additional Insured coverage under the CONSULTANT’s policy shall be primary and non-contributory and will not seek contribution from the CITY’s insurance or self-insurance and shall be at least as broad as CG 20 01 04 13.
(d) Deductibles and Self-Insured Retentions. All self-insured retentions (SIR) must be disclosed to the CITY’s Risk Management for approval and shall not reduce the limits of liability. At the option of CITY, either: the insurer shall reduce or eliminate such deductibles or self-insurance retention as respects the CITY, its officers, officials, agents, employees and volunteers; or CONSULTANT shall procure a bond guaranteeing payment of losses and related investigations, claim administration and defense expenses. {00009748.DOCX V1}

Policies containing any self-insured (SIR) provision shall provide or be endorsed to provide that the SIR may be satisfied by either the named insured or the CITY.

In addition, Consultant shall perform specific tasks to include but not be limited to as follows:

Task 1: Develop Federal Funding and Policy Agenda
Consultant, in consultation with the City to formulate a realistic Agenda to achieve the City's short- and long-term objectives. This will include establishing project priorities and determining potential federal funding sources. Key policy issues, critical legislation, and regulations will be identified. The Agenda will change from time to time depending on City’s needs.

Task 2: Create federal government outreach and funding program A plan that reflects the City priorities, projects, and initiatives will be developed and will include outreach to grant funding within specific foundations and within the Federal Government.

Task 3: Lobbying
Consultant will lobby the executive branch, selected delegations, and any targeted Congressional authorizing and appropriations committees to advance the City priorities.

Task 4: Monitoring and Coordination
Consultant will monitor and keep the City informed regarding federal legislation, appropriations, and policy developments. Consultant will track federal and private grants that align with the City priorities and assist City staff with the refinement of applications to improve their potential for success. Monitoring will include the National League of Cities, the National Association of Counties, and the U.S. Conference of Mayors. Consultant will keep City staff informed regarding the monitoring process and those opportunities identified that are consistent with the City's priorities.

Task 5: Requests, Testimony, and Correspondence

-10-
Task 6: Reporting
Detailed reports will be provided to the City detailing legislative action in Washington, relevant hearing schedules, and relevant grant announcements. Consultant will report relevant information that has been identified industry publications.

Special Projects
In addition to Consultant’s general scope of services, Kiley & Associates, LLC would focus on the following projects:
• “Wing Tip” Tax - California statue dictates that local tax revenue derived from jet fuel sales shall be diverted to the agency of where the airport is located, known as a “wing tip” tax. A new 2020 Federal Aviation Administration ruling has further reinforced this law. Despite jet fuel being produced and delivered from Paramount to several airports, the City does not benefit from any jet fuel sales tax. Kiley & Associates, LLC would represent Paramount to help amend this federal law to allow only those cities that host bio-fuel refineries, like Paramount, to collect local tax revenue on a portion of jet fuel sales.
• American Rescue Plan Act - In 2021, the U.S. Department of Treasury allocated $18.9 million to Paramount as part of the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA). This one-time funding source will help the City enhance our water infrastructure, help small businesses, provide homeless support services, and offer City Council discretionary funds for the community. Kiley & Associates, LLC would guide staff in complying with the Treasury Department’s comprehensive performance and financial reporting requirements of ARPA funds. Moreover, Kiley & Associates, LLC would help identify further ARPA funding opportunities, including federal infrastructure grants.
• Community Project Funding - Each fiscal year staff solicits its Congressional representatives for Community Project Funding to meet the community needs across Paramount. In 2021, Congresswoman Lucille Roybal-Allard awarded Paramount $550,000 to improve access to the Paramount Education Partnership (PEP) Scholarship Program after the program experienced funding losses due to COVID-19. Kiley & Associates, LLC would guide the City to acquire more Community Project Funding from federal appropriations to help shape meaningful community enhancements in Paramount.

Subject: RESOLUTION NO. 22:034
DECLARING THE IMPLEMENTATION OF STAGE 2 OF THE WATER

SHORTAGE CONTINGENCY PLAN

BACKGROUND
At the December 14, 2021 meeting, the City Council approved Ordinance No. 1158 establishing the updated water conservation and water supply program and regulations.

This ordinance established the updated Water Shortage Contingency Plan (WSCP), which outlines specific water reduction strategies to be implemented in stages based on the level of conservation either mandated or requested by State officials.

On April 21st, May 10th, July 8th, and October 19, 2021, Governor Newsom issued proclamations that a state of emergency exists statewide due to severe drought conditions and directed state agencies to take action to preserve critical water supplies, mitigate the effects of drought conditions and ensure the protection of health, safety, and the environment. All proclamations at this point have been encouraging voluntary water conservation measures from California residents.

DISCUSSION
With drought conditions continuing to impact the State of California, Governor Newsom signed an Executive Order on March 28, 2022, directing the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) to consider adopting emergency regulations to increase water conservation.

At its May 24, 2022 meeting, the SWRCB considered this request and ultimately approved emergency regulations requiring that all urban water suppliers implement Level 2 of their WSCP in order to reduce the state’s water usage by 20%. The Water Reduction Strategies outlined in the City’s WSCP for Level 2 are as follows:

Stage Water Reduction Strategy

RESOLUTION NO. 22:034 Page 2
\\DCY1\Dept\Public Works\PWAGENDA\COMMON FILE\Agenda Rpt - Reso 22.034 Water Conservation Stage 2.docx 6/1/2022 5:19 PM Customers must fix repairs in a timely manner (72 hours) No excessive water flow or run off
No washing down hard or paved surfaces
2 All Stage 1 strategies and:
20%
Restrict water use for decorative water features
Use only recycled water for construction activities
Restaurants may only serve water upon request
Limits on washing vehicles
Additionally the SWRCB action requires all urban water suppliers to establish a ban on the irrigation of non-functional turf by entities in the commercial, industrial and institutional sectors. Non-functional turf is defined as turf that is solely ornamental and not regularly used for human recreational purposes or for civic or community events. The SWRCB’s adopted emergency regulations includes establishment of fines up to five hundred dollars ($500) for each day a violation occurs.

The board requires that these water conservation efforts be in place by June 10, 2022.

The attached resolution establishes the requirements of the SWRCB to implement Level 2 reduction strategies, and prohibit watering of non-functional turf. The resolution refers to Chapter 13.04, Article 5 of the City’s municipal Code which details all aspects of the City’s Water conservation policies including detailed information about each stage, when and how they can be applied, and outlines the penalties for non-compliance. Once approved, the resolution would go into effect immediately, and staff would begin outreach to the community. Outreach will include tips and strategies for saving water both inside and outside homes and businesses, as well as education regarding the Level 2 reduction strategies. Information will be sent out via water billing, social media platforms, and the City website. Our experience with implementation of these water reduction strategies in the community in the past was that most residents and businesses are willing to comply, and work together for the good of the community.

VISION, MISSION, VALUES, AND STRATEGIC OUTCOMES
The City’s Vision, Mission, and Values set the standard for the organization; establish priorities, uniformity, and guidelines; and provide the framework for policy decisionmaking. The Strategic Outcomes were implemented to provide a pathway to achieving the City’s Vision. This item aligns with Strategic Outcomes No. 4: Environmental Health.

RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended that the City Council read by title only and adopt Resolution No. 22:034.
