CITY OF PARAMOUNT, CA
FUND BALANCE POLICY
It is essential that the City of Paramount (“City”) maintain adequate levels of fund balance to effectively manage and operate city services and mitigate current and future risks (e.g., revenue shortfalls and unanticipated expenditures). In most cases, discussions of fund balance will properly focus on the General Fund. Nonetheless, financial resources available in other funds should also be considered in assessing the adequacy of fund balance in the General Fund.
The Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) recommends that cities:
“...establish a formal policy on the level of unrestricted fund balance that should be maintained in the general fund for Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and budgetary purposes. Such a guideline should be set by the appropriate policy body and articulate a framework and process for how the government would increase or decrease the level of unrestricted fund balance over a specific time period. In particular, governments should provide broad guidance in the policy for how resources will be directed to replenish fund balance should the balance fall below the level prescribed”.
Fund balance refers to the difference between assets and liabilities in the City’s governmental funds balance sheet. This information is one of the most widely used elements of state and local government financial statements. Financial statement users examine fund balance information to identify the available liquid resources that can be used to repay long-term debt, add new programs, finance capital improvements, or enhance the financial position of the city.
Fund balance is reported in accordance with the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 54, which classifies fund balance into five different categories. These categories are Nonspendable, Restricted, Committed, Assigned and Unassigned.
• Nonspendable resources are not in spendable form or required to be maintained intact, such as prepaid, land held for resale, or inventory. • Restricted resources are subject to externally enforceable legal restrictions or imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation. • Committed resources are constrained to specific purposes by a formal action of the City Council, the highest level of decision-making authority for the City, such as a resolution. The constraint remains binding unless removed in the same formal manner by the City Council. Council action to commit fund balance must occur
within the fiscal reporting period while the amount committed may be determined subsequently.
• Assigned resources are constrained, by the City’s intent, to be used for specific purposes but are neither restricted nor committed. The City Manager has the authority to assign unrestricted fund balance amounts where the City’s intent is for those amounts to be used for specific purposes. This delegation of authority is for the sole purpose of reporting these amounts in the annual financial statements. • Unassigned within the General Fund are the residual resources, either positive or negative, in excess of what can be properly classified in one of the other four fund balance categories. This also includes the negative residual resources in excess of what can be properly classified as nonspendable, restricted, or committed within all other governmental funds.
This Governmental Fund Balance Policy establishes the amount the City will strive to maintain in its fund reserve, the conditions under which the reserve may be spent, and directions to replenish reserves once used.
RESERVES HELD IN THE GENERAL FUND
The City of Paramount shall maintain the following designations under the appropriate fund balance categories:
Reserves Committed by City Council Authority
Operating Reserve
• Purpose: While other resources are set aside to mitigate revenue shortfalls for various emergencies and unforeseen circumstances, this Operating Reserve is established as a last resort contingency. To emphasize, the Operating Reserve is the base budget to be used as a final course of action, when all else fails.
• Target Level: The General Fund shall maintain a base (minimum) operating fund reserve for an effective and non-disruptive operation of city services. The City will set aside 50% of the annual General Fund Adopted Operating Expenditure Budget. If the Operating Reserve is anticipated to be less than this policy, then it shall be noted in the City’s Budget document and a plan will be developed by Finance staff to address the target level. • Events or Conditions Prompting Its Use: This reserve shall be used when all other reserves in the committed, assigned, and/or unassigned categories are insufficient to balance the annual operating budget to meet core services.
Economic Uncertainty Reserve
• Purpose: This committed reserve is held to mitigate annual revenue shortfalls due to a fluctuating economy, unforeseen natural disaster, or actions by the state/federal government. This reserve shall be used to support core city services.
• Target Level: 10% of the General Fund Adopted Operating Expenditure Budget • Events or Conditions Prompting Its Use: Access to this reserve shall be triggered by a resolution declaring a state of emergency for the City or when there is a significant decrease of more than 10% in the General Fund revenues.
Infrastructure and Facility Emergencies
• Purpose: This committed reserve is set aside for a catastrophic emergency that requires the repair or rebuilding of the City’s streets, hard-scape, facilities, communication and technology systems, or other City-owned properties. • Target Level: 10% of the General Fund Adopted Operating Expenditure Budget • Events or Conditions Prompting Its Use: This reserve may be utilized to provide resources to meet emergency expenditures in the case of flood, fire, earthquake, or other disasters.
Reserves Assigned by City Manager/Management
Compensated Absences – (Calculated Liability)
• Annually, the value of compensated absences, which is the liability derived from employee accrued sick, vacation, and other compensated leave balances, is computed. This reserve will be adjusted annually during the audit to equal the compensated absences of the current year in audit.
Retiree Benefit Obligations – (70% of Pension and OPEB Long-Term Liabilities) • Purpose: This reserve is set aside to pay down the long-term pension and other post employee benefits (OPEB) liabilities to at least 70% of the total obligations. • Target Level: Annually, the City shall contribute 1% of the General Fund Adopted Operating Expenditure Budget necessary to meet the funding target of at least 70% of the UAL and Total OPEB Liability for all retiree benefit obligations.
Self-Insurance – ($800,000)
• The City is a member of the California Joint Powers Insurance Authority (CJPIA). Together with CJPIA insurance policies, a reserve of $800,000 shall be maintained to provide adequate protection against losses that exceed, or excluded from, the existing insurance coverage. A periodic analysis is required to adjust the reserve to an appropriate level to ensure adequate funds are available.
Capital Projects – (Future Capital Project Costs)
• The City Manager has established this assigned reserve for capital projects and should continue to replenish, as needed, to meet the funding needs of future capital improvement projects.
Continuing Appropriation (Multi-year Project Carryover) • This amount represents the unexpended portion of the cost of public improvements that were adopted in the previous year budget. A continuing appropriation does not expire at the conclusion of a fiscal year, but continues until the public improvement is completed.
• For management and accounting purposes, this amount is determined and adjusted near or at the closing of the fiscal year, where the unexpended amount for capital improvement projects shall be set aside to continue funding the projects in the following year until the project is completed.
Other Assignments
• From time to time, the City Manager may determine an amount to be set aside to fulfill certain special projects or programs at his discretion.
RESERVES HELD IN OTHER FUNDS
Water Fund Operating Reserve
• Purpose: The operating reserves are maintained to mitigate revenue shortfalls due to economic downturns or financial hardship for various reasons. • Target Level: The Water Fund should strive to maintain a budgetary base (minimum) operating fund reserve of no less than two months (17%) of the Water Fund Adopted Operating Expenditure Budget for an effective and nondisruptive operation of the city’s water utility program. Whenever possible, the City should strive to increase its base reserve to more than 17%. If the Operating Reserve is anticipated to be less than this policy, then it shall be
noted in the City’s Budget document and a plan will be developed by Finance staff to address the target level.
Water Fund Rate Stabilization
• Purpose: The Water Fund shall reserve $500,000 for use when the average water rate increase exceeds 10% within a single year. The rate stabilization reserve will be used to limit the average rate increase to 10% for that year. The rate stabilization reserve will soften spikes in rate increases and help water customers prepare for the eventual rate increases.
Equipment Replacement Fund
• Purpose: The city shall establish a reserve of at least 50% of the replacement value of City vehicles and equipment, and maintain the reserve through the annual budget adoption process
EXCEEDING RESERVE POLICY
In most cases, the fund balance polices are set at levels which maximize the use of public resources. The committed and assigned fund balances shall not be more than twice their respective reserve policies. Reserve levels should not exceed policy guidelines for compensated absences, retiree benefit obligations and continuing appropriations.

DEBT MANAGEMENT POLICY
This Debt Management Policy (the “Debt Policy”) of the City of Paramount (the “City”) was approved by the City Council on June 8, 2021. The Debt Policy may be amended pursuant to resolution by the City Council, as it deems appropriate from time to time, in the prudent management of the debt of the City.
This Debt Policy will also apply to any debt issued by the Successor Agency to the former Paramount Redevelopment Agency (“Successor Agency”), or any other public agency for which the City Council of the City acts as its legislative body.
The Debt Policy has been developed to provide guidance in the issuance and management of debt by the City of Paramount or its related entities and is intended to comply with Government Code Section 8855(i), effective on January 1, 2017. The main objectives are to establish conditions for the use of debt; to ensure that debt capacity and affordability are adequately considered; to minimize the City’s interest and issuance costs; to maintain the highest possible credit rating; to provide complete financial disclosure and reporting; and to maintain financial flexibility for the City.
Debt, when properly issued and managed, is a critical element in any financial management program. It assists in the City’s effort to allocate limited resources to provide the highest quality of service to the public. The City understands that poor debt management can have ripple effects that hurt other areas of the City. On the other hand, a properly managed debt policy promotes economic growth and enhances the vitality of the City of Paramount for its residents and businesses.
1. Objectives
This Debt Policy shall govern all debt undertaken by the City. The City hereby recognizes that a fiscally prudent debt policy is required in order to:
• Maintain the City’s sound financial position.
• Ensure the City has the flexibility to respond to changes in future service priorities, revenue levels, and operating expenses.
• Protect the City’s credit-worthiness.
• Ensure that all debt is structured in order to protect both current and future taxpayers, ratepayers and constituents of the City.
• Ensure that the City’s debt is consistent with the City’s planning goals and objectives and capital improvement program or budget, as applicable.
• Encourage those that benefit from a facility/improvement to pay the cost of that facility/improvement without the need for the expenditure of limited general fund resources.
2. Policies
A. Purposes For Which Debt May Be Issued
The City will consider the use of debt financing primarily for capital improvement projects (CIP) when the project’s useful life will equal or exceed the term of the financing and when resources are identified sufficient to fund the debt service requirements. One exception to this CIP driven focus is the issuance of shortterm instruments such as tax and revenue anticipation notes, which are to be used for prudent cash management purposes and conduit financing, as described below. Bonded debt should not be issued for projects with minimal public benefit or support, or to finance normal operating expenses. However, pension obligation bonds may be used to finance the unfunded actuarial liability, which will prepay a long-term liability that is generally a charge against current operating expenditures.
If a department has any project which is expected to use debt financing, the Department Director is responsible for expeditiously providing the City Manager and the Director of Finance with reasonable cost estimates, including specific revenue accounts that will provide payment for the debt service. This will allow an analysis of the project’s potential impact on the City’s debt capacity and limitations. The department director shall also provide an estimate of any incremental operating and/or additional maintenance costs associated with the project and identify sources of revenue, if any, to pay for such incremental costs. (i) Long-Term Debt. Long-term debt may be issued to finance or refinance the construction, acquisition, and rehabilitation of capital improvements, facilities, equipment, pension obligation bonds, and land to be owned and/or operated by the City.
(a) Long-term debt financings are appropriate when the following conditions exist:
• When the project to be financed is necessary to provide basic services. • When the project to be financed will provide benefit to constituents over multiple years.
• When total debt does not constitute an unreasonable burden to the City and its taxpayers and ratepayers.
• When the debt is used to refinance outstanding debt in order to produce debt service savings or to realize the benefits of a debt restructuring.
(b) Long-term debt financings will not generally be considered appropriate for current operating expenses and routine maintenance expenses.
However, long-term debt may be issued if the debt will prepay a long-term liability that is generally a charge against current operating expenditures. (c) The City may use long-term debt financings for capital improvement projects subject to the following conditions:
• The project to be financed has been or will be approved by the City Council.
• The weighted average maturity of the debt (or the portion of the debt allocated to the project) will not exceed the average useful life of the project to be financed by more than 20%, unless specific conditions exist that would mitigate the extension of time to repay the debt and it would not cause the City to violate any covenants to maintain the taxexempt status of such debt, if applicable. • The City estimates that sufficient income or revenues will be available to service the debt through its maturity.
• The City determines that the issuance of the debt will comply with the applicable requirements of state and federal law.
• The City considers the improvement/facility to be of vital, time-sensitive need of the community and there are no plausible alternative financing sources
(d) Periodic reviews of outstanding long-term debt will be undertaken to identify refunding opportunities. Refunding will be considered (within federal tax law constraints, if applicable) if and when there is a net economic benefit of the refunding. Refundings which are non-economic may be undertaken to achieve City objectives relating to changes in covenants, call provisions, operational flexibility, tax status of the issuer, or the debt service profile.
In general, refundings which produce a net present value savings of at least four (4) percent of the refunded debt will be considered economically viable. Refundings which produce a net present value savings of less than four (4) percent or negative savings will be considered on a case-bycase basis, and are subject to City Council approval.
(ii) Short-term debt. Short-term borrowing may be issued to generate funding for cash flow needs in the form of Tax and Revenue Anticipation Notes (TRAN).
Short-term borrowing, such as commercial paper, and lines of credit, will be considered as an interim source of funding in anticipation of long-term borrowing. Short-term debt may be issued for any purpose for which longterm debt may be issued, including capitalized interest and other financingrelated costs. Prior to issuance of the short-term debt, a reliable revenue source shall be identified to secure repayment of the debt. The final maturity of the debt issued to finance the project shall be consistent with the economic or useful life of the project and, unless the City Council determines that extraordinary circumstances exist, must not exceed seven (7) years.
Short-term debt may also be used to finance short-lived capital projects; for example, the City may undertake lease-purchase financing for equipment, and such equipment leases may be longer than 7 years.
(iii) Financings on Behalf of Other Entities. The City may also find it beneficial to issue debt on behalf of other governmental agencies or private third parties in order to further the public purposes of City. In such cases, the City shall take reasonable steps to confirm the financial feasibility of the project to be financed and the financial solvency of any borrower and that the issuance of such debt is consistent with the policies set forth herein. In no event will the City incur any liability or assume responsibility for payment of debt service on such debt.
B. Types of Debt
In order to maximize the financial options available to benefit the public, it is the policy of the City of Paramount to allow for the consideration of issuing all generally accepted types of debt, including, but not exclusive to the following:
• General Obligation (GO) Bonds: General Obligation Bonds are suitable for use in the construction or acquisition of improvements to real property that benefit the public at large. Examples of projects include libraries, parks, and public safety facilities. All GO bonds shall be authorized by the requisite number of voters in order to pass.
• Revenue Bonds: Revenue Bonds are limited-liability obligations tied to a specific enterprise or special fund revenue stream where the projects financed clearly benefit or relate to the enterprise or are otherwise permissible uses of the special revenue. An example of projects that would be financed by a Revenue Bond would be improvements to a water system, which would be paid back with money raised from the rates and charges to water users.
Generally, no voter approval is required to issue this type of obligation but in
some cases, the City must comply with proposition 218 regarding rate adjustments.
• Lease-Backed Debt/Certificates of Participation (COP/Lease Revenue Bonds):
Issuance of Lease-backed debt is a commonly used form of debt that allows a City to finance projects where the debt service is secured via a lease agreement and where the payments are budgeted in the annual budget appropriation by the City from the general fund. Lease-Backed debt does not constitute indebtedness under the state or the City’s constitutional debt limit and does not require voter approval. Lease Revenue Bonds may be issued by the City’s Financing Authority on behalf of the City.
• Pension Obligation Bonds: Pension Obligation Bonds are obligations issued to prepay the City’s unfunded actuarial liability to the California Public Employees Retirement System, a long-term liability. The payments are paid from the general fund. Issuance of Pension Obligation Bonds requires judicial validation to secure the debt service without the need to issue lease revenue bonds, since these are obligations “imposed by law.” These obligations do not constitute indebtedness under the state constitutional debt limitation and, therefore, are not subject to voter approval.
• Special Assessment/Special District Debt: The City will consider requests from developers for the use of debt financing secured by property based assessments or special taxes in order to provide for necessary infrastructure for new development only under strict guidelines adopted by the City Council, which may include minimum value-to-lien ratios and maximum tax burdens.
Examples of this type of debt are Assessment Districts (AD) and Community Facilities Districts (CFD) or more commonly known as Mello-Roos Districts. In order to protect bondholders as well as the City’s credit rating, the City will also comply with all State guidelines regarding the issuance of special district or special assessment debt, as well as any policy required to be adopted under Government Code Section 53312.7.
• Tax Allocation Bonds: Tax Allocation Bonds are special obligations that are secured by the allocation of tax increment revenues that are generated by increased property taxes in the designated redevelopment area. Tax Allocation Bonds are not debt of the City. Due to changes in the law affecting California Redevelopment agencies with the passage of ABX1 26 (as amended, the Dissolution Act) as codified in the California Health and Safety Code, the Community Development Commission of the City of Paramount (RDA) was dissolved as of February 1, 2012, and its operations substantially eliminated but for the continuation of certain enforceable RDA obligations to be administered by the Successor Agency. The Successor Agency may issue Tax Allocation Bonds to refinance outstanding obligations of the RDA, subject to limitations included in the Dissolution Act.
The City may from time to time find that other forms of debt would be beneficial to further its public purposes and may approve such debt without an amendment of this Debt Policy.
To maintain a predictable debt service burden, the City will give preference to debt that carries a fixed interest rate. An alternative to the use of fixed rate debt is variable rate debt. The City may choose to issue securities that pay a rate of interest that varies according to a pre-determined formula or results from a periodic remarketing of securities. When making the determination to issue bonds in a variable rate mode, consideration will be given in regards to the useful life of the project or facility being financed or the term of the project requiring the funding, market conditions, credit risk and third party risk analysis, and the overall debt portfolio structure when issuing variable rate debt for any purpose.
The maximum amount of variable-rate debt should be limited to no more than 20 percent of the total debt portfolio.
The City will not employ derivatives, such as interest rate swaps, in its debt program. A derivative product is a financial instrument which derives its own value from the value of another instrument, usually an underlying asset such as a stock, bond, or an underlying reference such as an interest rate. Derivatives are commonly used as hedging devices in managing interest rate risk and thereby reducing borrowing costs. However, these products bear certain risks not associated with standard debt instruments.
C. Relationship of Debt to Capital Improvement Program and Budget The City intends to issue debt for the purposes stated in this Debt Policy and to implement policy decisions incorporated in the City’s capital budget and the capital improvement plan.
The City shall strive to fund the upkeep and maintenance of its infrastructure and facilities due to normal wear and tear through the expenditure of available operating revenues. The City shall seek to avoid the use of debt to fund infrastructure and facilities improvements that are the result of normal wear and tear, unless a specific revenue source has been identified for this purpose, such as Gas Tax funds.
The City shall integrate its debt issuances with the goals of its capital improvement program by timing the issuance of debt to ensure that projects are available when needed in furtherance of the City’s public purposes.
The City shall seek to issue debt in a timely manner to avoid having to make unplanned expenditures for capital improvements or equipment from its general fund.
D. Policy Goals Related to Planning Goals and Objectives The City is committed to financial planning, maintaining appropriate reserve levels and employing prudent practices in governance, management and budget administration. The City intends to issue debt for the purposes stated in this Debt Policy and to implement policy decisions incorporated in the City’s annual operating budget.
It is a policy goal of the City to protect taxpayers, ratepayers and constituents by utilizing conservative financing methods and techniques so as to obtain the highest practical credit ratings (if applicable) and the lowest practical borrowing costs.
The City will comply with applicable state and federal law as it pertains to the maximum term of debt and the procedures for levying and imposing any related taxes, assessments, rates and charges.
When refinancing debt, it shall be the policy goal of the City to realize, whenever possible, and subject to any overriding non-financial policy considerations minimum net present value debt service savings equal to or greater than 4% of the refunded principal amount.
E. Internal Control Procedures
When issuing debt, in addition to complying with the terms of this Debt Policy, the City shall comply with any other applicable policies regarding initial bond disclosure, continuing disclosure, post-issuance compliance, and investment of bond proceeds.
The City will periodically review the requirements of and will remain in compliance with the following:
• any continuing disclosure undertakings under SEC Rule 15c2-12, • any federal tax compliance requirements, including without limitation arbitrage and rebate compliance, related to any prior bond issues, and • the City’s investment policies as they relate to the investment of bond proceeds.
Whenever reasonably possible, proceeds of debt will be held by a third-party trustee and the City will submit written requisitions for such proceeds. The City will submit a requisition only after obtaining the signature of the City Manager or the Director of Finance.
F. Waivers of Debt Policy
There may be circumstances from time to time when strict adherence to a provision of this Debt Policy is not possible or in the best interests of the City and the failure of a debt financing to comply with one or more provisions of this Debt Policy shall not affect the validity of any debt issued by the City in accordance with applicable laws.

GANN APPROPRIATION LIMIT
Article XIIIB of the State constitution was amended by Proposition 4 (Gann initiative) in 1979. Article XIIIB limits growth in the spending of tax proceeds to tax proceeds appropriated in the "base year" of 1978-79 times the product of the allowable annual percentage change in a cost-of-living factor and the allowable annual percentage change in a population change factor. The cost-of-living factor is the larger of the annual percentage change in the State per capita personal income or the annual percentage change in the local non-residential assessed valuation due to new construction. The population change factor is the larger of the annual percentage change of the jurisdiction's population or the annual percentage population change of the county in which the jurisdiction is located.

Bonds backed by a voter-approved property tax increase, used to acquire, and improve real property.
GOALS
Broad, general statements of each department’s desired social or organizational outcomes.

GFOA annually sponsors Distinguished Budget Presentation Awards program and presents awards to those government budgets that meet program criteria as a policy document, as an operations guide, as a financial plan, and as a communications device. GFOA also establishes best practices for state and local governments and provides training and updates in government finance.
GRANT
A contribution or gift of cash or other assets from another governmental entity or foundation to be used or expended for a specific purpose, activity, or facility. An example is the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) provided by the federal government.

Subject: ADOPTING THE APPROPRIATIONS LIMIT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2024-2025
IMPLEMENTING ARTICLE XIII-B OF THE STATE CONSTITUTION
PURSUANT TO SECTION 7900 ET. SEQ. OF THE GOVERNMENT CODE
BACKGROUND
The California Constitution, Article XIII-B, commonly referred to as "Proposition 4: The Gann Appropriations Limit," requires the City to annually adopt an appropriations limit beyond which budgetary appropriation shall not be made. The appropriations limit can be adjusted each year to allow for increases in population, assessed value growth, and/or increases in per capita income.
DISCUSSION
The City has the option to annually increase the appropriation limit. This is done by choosing two of the following four variables and multiplying them to arrive at the allowed increase in appropriations. Within each of the two factors below, we may choose the variables that most benefit the City.
Factor 1
1. The percentage change in California per capita income, or
2. The percentage change in Paramount's assessed valuation due to new nonresidential construction.
Factor 2
1. The percentage change in Paramount's population, or
2. The percentage change in Los Angeles County's population.
For Fiscal Year 2024-25 we have chosen to use: 1) the percentage change in Paramount's assessed valuation due to new non-residential construction, and 2) the percentage change in Los Angeles County’s population. These variables allow us to increase our appropriations limit by 1.075% to $1,169,706,811. The amount of our tax Agenda Report June 11, 2024
RESOLUTION NO. 24:019 – GANN APPROPRIATIONS LIMIT Page 2 revenues subject to this limit is $39,336,173, which is well under the limit of $1,169,706,811.
FISCAL IMPACT
None.
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
Read by title only and adopt Resolution No. 24:019 establishing the appropriations limit for Fiscal Year 2024-2025 in the amount of $1,169,706,811.

Nicole Lopez, Human Resources Manager
Date: June 11, 2024
SUBJECT: AMENDING THE AUTHORIZED POSITION LISTING FOR FULL-TIME
AND PART-TIME EMPLOYEES
BACKGROUND
The City Council approves the position classification listings and salary ranges for City employees during each Fiscal Year budget adoption. From time to time, modifications to position classifications and specifications are needed to ensure effective and efficient business operations. Pursuant to the Paramount Municipal Code, the City Manager has the authority to make personnel changes in their capacity as the City’s Personnel Officer.
However, modifications that impact the City’s Budget (i.e. compensation, Authorized Position Listing) must be approved by the City Council. The proposed FY 2024-25 Authorized Position Listing for Full-Time and Part-time Employees is attached.
DISCUSSION
The proposed budget includes two new full-time positions, Assistant Planner (Range 163) and Senior Maintenance Worker (Range R12), in addition to the reclassification of two existing full-time positions as follows: Senior Code Enforcement Officer (Range 165) reclassified to Code Enforcement Supervisor (Range 170); one existing Project/Program Manager (Range 186) reclassified to Financial Services Manager (Range 196).
Additionally, the budget includes two new full-time positions in the Water Department:
Water Operator (Range R01) and Water Quality Specialist (Range R134). These Water positions would remain frozen/unfilled until the City determines sufficient Water funding is available.
Addition of New Assistant Planner Position
The Planning Department continues to experience an increase in demand and responsibilities with the new State housing and environmental laws including the growth in the popularity of accessory dwelling units (ADUs), and other long-term planning projects like the Clearwater Specific Plan, Commercial Design Guidelines, Southeast Gateway Line, and several others. The Planning Department has been managing as best they can with only one full-time Associate Planner; however, this increase in demand and workload is not temporary and has become a workload/employee gap that can be Agenda Report June 11, 2024
RESOLUTION 24:020 Page 2
remedied by additional staff. Authorizing an additional full-time Assistant Planner would greatly improve the Planning Department’s efficiency. If approved, the new classification of Assistant Planner would be added to the position listing.
The fully loaded annual cost of the Assistant Planner is $134,468. The Planning Department would eliminate one Planning Intern, offsetting that total cost by approximately $30,000.
Addition of Senior Maintenance Worker Position
The volume in workload and demand of the Public Works Landscape Division has increased tremendously over the last year. The City’s high standards of maintenance demand added effort that cannot be met through part-time staff or with the current fulltime staffing level. Staff is requesting the additional Senior Maintenance Worker to help oversee special projects in the landscape division. This added position would also be responsible for specialized planting and maintenance projects in the parks, pocket parks, setbacks, and other public areas, as needed.
The fully loaded annual cost of the Senior Maintenance Worker is $123,050.
Reclassification of Senior Code Enforcement Officer to Code Enforcement Supervisor
The Public Safety Department spends a significant amount of time on code enforcement cases and programming and has relied heavily on the Senior Code Enforcement Officer to perform the higher level, more complex assignments. The Senior Code Enforcement Officer currently does not exercise supervision over lower-level staff; therefore, the Assistant Public Safety Director spends a significant amount of time handling complaints, evaluations, and delegation of subordinate responsibilities. Staff is requesting the Senior Code Enforcement Officer be reclassified to Code Enforcement Supervisor to better align with the higher-level job duties and add supervisory responsibilities.
The annual cost of the proposed reclassification is approximately $7,350.
Reclassification of Project/Program Manager to Financial Services Manager The job duties and responsibilities of one of the Project/Program Managers in the Finance Department has increased over the last year. The position’s duties now include oversight of special projects, management of the collection of revenues, updates to financial policies and procedures, supervision of the Water Customer Service Division staff and operation, maintenance of contracts and renewals, preparation and presentation of agenda reports at City Council meetings. With this higher level of responsibility, staff is requesting that Project/Program Manager position be reclassified to Financial Services Manager. This reclassification would enhance the Department’s operational efficiency, improve financial management, and better align the position’s duties and responsibilities.
Agenda Report June 11, 2024
RESOLUTION 24:020 Page 3
The annual cost of the proposed reclassification is approximately $9,150 annually.
Addition of New Water Quality Specialist and Water Operator Positions In FY 24, Bucknam & Associates completed a Water Division analysis which concluded that the Water Division needed one additional Water Operator and a new Water Quality Specialist to handle the additional projected workload related to compliance with new State and Federal environmental regulations. Staff is requesting that the two positions be added to the City’s authorized position listing; however, these positions would remain vacant and frozen until such time the Water Fund has sufficient funding to fill them.
The fully loaded annual cost of the Water Quality Specialist and Water Operator is $286,800.
FISCAL IMPACT
Excluding the two Water positions, the total FY 2024-25 cost increase for these proposed personnel changes is $244,018. This cost is already reflected in each respective Department budget.
