Agenda packet — Pico Rivera City Council, January 11, 2022 (part 2 of 2)

Anna M. Jerome, City Clerk Arnold M. Alvarez-Glasman, City Attorney
To: Mayor and City Council
From: City Manager and City Attorney
Meeting Date: January 11, 2022
Subject: FURTHER REVIEW AND DIRECTION REGARDING
POSSIBLE CHANGES TO THE CITY’S CODE OF ETHICS
Recommendation:

1. Provide further direction regarding changes to the existing Code of Ethics; or

2. Take no action at this time.

Fiscal Impact:

Determining the fiscal impact at this time is difficult due to the unknown scope of the proposed changes. There may also be fiscal impacts related to the implementation and monitoring of any modifications, once adopted.

Background:

On August 11, 2020, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 7098 which established a Code of Ethics and Conduct Policy (Code of Ethics) for the City Council. This policy has remained in place without change for over the past year. Attached to this report is Resolution No. 7098 with the aforementioned Code of Ethics (Enclosure 1).

On September 14, 2021, the City Council reviewed this item and discussed potential changes in the following areas:
 Retaining a mediator or arbitrator to review potential enforcement action under the Code of Ethics.
 Developing a Social Media policy or Code of Ethics.
 Expanding the Code of Ethics to vendors who provide services to the City.  Developing guidelines for nepotism.
 Developing campaign contribution guidelines.
 Expanding the revolving door restriction from State law one (1) year to five (5) or ten (10) years.

FURTHER REVIEW AND DIRECTION REGARDING POSSIBLE CHANGES TO THE CITY’S CODE OF ETHICS

Page 2 of 6 ends

On October 26, 2021, the City Council reconsidered the possible changes to the Code of Ethics and identified the following areas to further explore:
 Compare nepotism policies from other agencies.
 Revolving door policy and 5-year restriction.
 Impacts and repercussions for conference non-attendance.  Review harassment policies as it pertains to City Council and staff. (The above topics were extracted from the City Council minutes from the meeting of October 26, 2021).

As previously submitted, if the City Council wishes to modify or change the provisions of the Code of Ethics, City Council will need to develop a consensus on which items need to be modified.

Discussion:

Based upon the previous discussions at the October 26, 2021 City Council meeting, the analysis below will address the specific items raised at the City Council’s preceding discussions.

Nepotism Policy
The Code of Ethics contained a nepotism policy when it was adopted in August 2020.

Prior to that time, the City did not have a nepotism policy in place. The City’s current nepotism policy, as set forth in the Code of Ethics, provides that a department head or other person in charge of hiring or appointive power cannot hire their relative to a salaried position.

In examining nepotism policies from other jurisdictions, there are personnel administrative rules, guidelines, policies and ordinances. Attached are the following references:
 State of California Statewide Guidance on Nepotism Policies  City of Pasadena Manual of Personnel & Administrative Rules – Employment of Relatives (Nepotism)
 County of Los Angeles Department of Health Services Policies and Procedures related to Nepotism
 City of Whittier Charter, Section 610 and Personnel Rules and Regulations A summary of the prevailing rules on nepotism focus upon the following topics:
 Who should be covered? Relatives to City Council, City Manager, Assistant City Manager, Directors?
 No relatives shall be hired or no direct supervision of relatives by relatives.

FURTHER REVIEW AND DIRECTION REGARDING POSSIBLE CHANGES TO THE CITY’S CODE OF ETHICS

Fair and impartial supervision and evaluation of employees.  Non-relative, personal relationships covered by nepotism policies?  Adverse impact upon the organization vs. avoidance of discriminating on the basis of marital status or other protections.

It is requested that the City Council provide direction on what areas should be included in the revised nepotism policy or if there is a specific policy or guideline that the City Council wishes to incorporate or adopt.

Expanding the revolving door restriction from State law one (1) year to five (5) years As previously discussed by the City Council, it was the opinion of the City Attorney that any effort to limit the revolving door restrictions to a period beyond three (3) years could be successfully challenged. State law imposes a one (1) year restriction. The suggested five (5) year restriction would appear to be too restrictive and impair a person’s freedom of employment. Aside from that perspective, the City Council provided direction to establish a five (5) year revolving door restriction.

Based upon that direction, the following new paragraph should be added to Section 11 Representation of Private Interests of the Code of Ethics which read as follows:
“Notwithstanding as other provision of law, Government Section 87406.3 shall be applicable to all Pico Rivera officials, as defined by that code section, except that the one (1) year period shall be expanded to apply for a period of five (5) years from the date of leaving office or employment. All other provisions of the Government Code and Fair Political Practices Commission Regulations relating to “Revolving Door Restrictions” shall apply subject to the five (5) year time period restriction.” Impacts and repercussions for conference non-attendance There was discussion concerning what impacts should be imposed upon Councilmembers or City staff who register for conferences and do not attend the conference or sessions. If there are extenuating circumstances, normally no repercussions should be imposed.

However, if any City official intentionally fails to attend a conference or a majority of sessions which have been paid for by the City with taxpayer’s funds, consideration should be given whether to require the City to be reimbursed or to suspend travel privileges.

Direction should be provided on what course of action, if any, should be taken.

Harassment policies between elected officials and staff The City Council asked to address how to handle situations of claimed or potential harassment between City Council and members of staff. There are various approaches that can be followed and laws that govern these circumstances. As guidance, the information below outlines an approach which was recommended to the City Attorney Department last year.

The following are excerpts from a League of California paper presented to the City CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF JANUARY 11, 2022

FURTHER REVIEW AND DIRECTION REGARDING POSSIBLE CHANGES TO THE CITY’S CODE OF ETHICS

Attorneys’ Department on April 30, 2021 by attorneys Rebecca Green and Jennifer Petrusis, entitled Elected Officials and Employment Law: When the Rules Don’t Apply.

Complaints from “Staff Against a Council Member”
[A]re local elected officials, many of whom have other full-time jobs (or are retired), who may receive only a stipend and not true wages, and who usually do not have their own staff also part of the “workplace”? The California Legislature thinks so. AB 1661, codified at Government Code section 53237.1, requires “local agency officials” to attend two hours of sexual harassment prevention training every two years, which must include “information and practical guidance regarding the federal and state statutory provisions concerning the prohibition against, and the prevention and correction of, sexual harassment and the remedies available to victims of sexual harassment in employment. The training shall also include practical examples aimed at instructing the local agency official in the prevention of sexual harassment, discrimination and retaliation ....” The training requirement for elected officials benefits not only the trainees, but also the city or public agency, which is almost always named as a co-defendant in workplace harassment lawsuits involving the misconduct of governing members.

Under the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA), employers are liable for harassment against their employees as follows:
 Employers are strictly liable for the acts of agents and supervisors.  Employers are responsible for the acts of a non-supervisory employee if the employer, or one of its agents or supervisors, knows or should have known of the conduct and fails to take immediate corrective action.
 Employers are responsible for the acts of nonemployees if the employer, or one of its agents or supervisors, knows or should have known of the conduct and fails to take immediate corrective action.

So where do elected officials fit in? First, under the FEHA, elected officials are supervisors. A supervisor is defined as “any individual having the authority, in the interest of the employer, to hire, transfer, suspend, lay off, recall, promote, discharge, assign, reward, or discipline other employees, or the responsibility to direct them, or to adjust their grievances, or effectively to recommend that action, if, in connection with the foregoing, the exercise of that authority ... requires the use of independent judgment.”9 Because a city council generally has the authority to hire, fire, and issue direction to, at minimum, the city manager, councilmembers fit within the definition of “supervisor.” (The same would be true of any elected body with authority over an executive employee, such as a general manager or chief executive officer.)

Steps to Take:

1. Find out what the complainant needs in the short-term to feel comfortable. The City is not obligated to honor any request made by the complainant, but if there are reasonable steps such as a short stress leave, or removal of the complainant from a job duty that requires direct contact with the elected official, those options should be considered.

2. Speak with the Councilmember. It is often more effective if the City Attorney speaks with the Councilmember alone (rather than with the City Manager) to explain candidly the City’s potential liability without causing embarrassment to the Councilmember. The key points to convey are 1) the nature of the allegations, 2) the city’s legal obligation to investigate the allegations, and 3) advice to cease contact with the complainant, to the extent possible, and not to take any action that could possibly be perceived as retaliatory.

3. Initiate an investigation by a third-party, neutral investigator. Investigating allegations made against an elected official should follow normal city policy, except that the elected official cannot be compelled to participate in the investigation. An investigation report should be prepared and the results should be shared first with the councilmember and then with the full City Council. In most situations, it would also be appropriate to share the report with the City Manager.

4. If the allegations are sustained by the investigator, the City Attorney or City Manager should explain to the Councilmember why such conduct puts the City at risk, and may put the Councilmember individually at risk too.

5. If the allegations are sustained, the complainant’s supervisor, in consultation with the City Manager, should determine what can be done to protect the complainant from future harassing conduct. The complainant’s input should be sought, and no action taken to protect them should appear punitive. For example, alteration of job duties may be considered, but only if the complainant wants that to occur. [End of excerpt.]
The above steps are endorsed by the City Manager and City Attorney’s office and can be crafted to be included in a policy to be referenced and incorporated in the Code of Ethics if directed by the City Council.

Conclusion:

While the City Council has previously discussed possible changes to the City’s Code of Ethics, direction is still needed to develop consensus on the specific topics delineated above. Once those topics have been clarified, City staff and the City Attorney can craft revised language for final City Council consideration.

Subject: REVIEW AND PROVIDE DIRECTION REGARDING
COUNCILMEMBER ELIAS’ PROPOSED RESOLUTION “TO

INCREASE THE TRANSPARARENCY, ACCOUNTABILITY

AND PARTICIPATION OF OUR CITIZENRY IN PICO RIVERA
GOVERNMENT”
Recommendation:

1. Discuss whether the City Council wishes to provide direction on taking action on all or certain elements of a proposed resolution offered by Councilmember Raul Elias (Resolution # 092821); or

2. Take no action at this time.

Fiscal Impact:

Background:

At the City Council meeting of September 28, 2021, Mayor Elias presented to the City Council a proposed resolution (Resolution #092821) entitled: “To Increase the Transparency, Accountability and Participation of Our Citizenry in Pico Rivera Government.” (Herein referred to as Proposed Resolution.) It should be noted that the Councilmember’s resolution was not previously submitted to the City Manager or City Attorney for review or comment. This item was presented to the City Council at the meetings of October 26, 2021 and the study session of November 9, 2021.

At each of these meetings the item was continued and requested to be brought back to the City Council for further discussion.

The purpose of this agenda report is to provide the City Council the views of the City’s professional staff and whether the Proposed Resolution comports to existing State and CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF JANUARY 11, 2022 REVIEW OF COUNCILMEMBER ELIAS’ PROPOSED RESOLUTION

local law.

A full copy of the Proposed Resolution is attached to this agenda report as Enclosure 1 for City Council review.

Discussion:

The following is a section-by-section analysis of the Proposed Resolution offered by Councilmember Elias. This review outlines the provisions of the Proposed Resolution and its conformance with California State Law, the City’s Municipal Code and existing Resolutions and Policies.

The text of the Proposed Resolution is set forth and comments to the suggested language are provided in italics:

MAYOR ELIAS’ RESOLUTION #092821
DATE: September 28, 2021
RESOLUTION: TO INCREASE THE TRANSPARENCY, ACCOUNTABILITY AND

PARTICIPATION OF OUR CITIZENRY IN PICO RIVERA CITY GOVERNMENT WHEREAS the City Council establishes the City Council's overall policy direction and is responsible for determining the size, scope, and financing, of city services and projects,
While the City Council’s duties and responsibilities are broader in scope, this statement is technically correct.

WHEREAS the current City Council Meeting Agenda format does not follow the Robert's Rules of Order, Standard Order of Business.

Pursuant to City Resolution No. 3270, the City Council (at that that time) adopted Robert’s Rules of Order to govern City Council meeting procedures.

WHEREAS the resolution dated 05-26-2020 prohibits the creation of City Council Standing Committees.

While the action taken at the May 26, 2020 was not in the form of a Resolution, the then City Council did approve a policy approach to allow the Mayor to identify and appoint members to Ad Hoc committees designated for a specific purpose and for a limited time period (not to exceed 90 days). The City Council further determined that the City Council would not allow the creation of standing committees, but “rather discuss issues of concern in an open session with a quorum of Council members present.” This policy decision was approved by a vote of 4 in favor CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF JANUARY 11, 2022 REVIEW OF COUNCILMEMBER ELIAS’ PROPOSED RESOLUTION

Page 3 of 5 ends

(Members Salcido, Sanchez, Tercero, Camacho) and 1 opposed (Member Elias).

Policy decisions such as standing committees or Ad Hoc committees rest with City Council and can be changed, modified or eliminated at the pleasure of the City Council. The recommendation from the City Manager was to avoid standing committees due the financial burden anticipated by staffing, including attorney fees, of such meetings in the amount of approximately $150,000 to $200,000 annually.

WHEREAS section 1.04.050 Writing and language of the City of Pico Rivera Municipal code states" Writing includes any form of recorded message capable of comprehension by ordinary visual means. Whenever any notice, report, statement or record is required or authorized by this code, it shall be made in writing in the English language, unless it is expressly provided otherwise. (Prior code § 1305)" This language from the Municipal Code is correct and accurate.

BE IT RESOLVED that the Mayor, an elected official, or in the absence of the Mayor, Mayor Pro Tem be included in the preparation of the Pico Rivera City Council's Regular and Special meeting agendas.

This recommendation is inconsistent with the City Council-City Manager form of government as approved by the voters of Pico Rivera upon incorporation and codified in Pico Rivera Municipal Code §2.04.010. In addition, it would be in opposite to the duties of the City Manager as set forth in Pico Rivera Municipal Code §2.04.090, which reads in part:

2.04.090 Legislative and executive action.

As a chief administrative officer and advisor of the city council, the city manager shall at all times advise the city council as to all legislative, executive and administrative duties and responsibilities of the city council, and shall recommend to the city council such measures, ordinances or procedures as he or she shall deem necessary or expedient to carry out the purposes of the municipal government.

Neither the Government Code nor the Pico Rivera Municipal Code establishes within the powers of the Mayor the duty or right to be included in the preparation of a Regular City Council meeting agenda. It should be noted that the Brown Act, Government Code §54956, allows the Mayor of a City to call for a Special Meeting of a City Council with 24 hours’ notice.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Council receive monthly and annual written reports from every department, commission, committee, and contract over $100,000 as well as stimulated meetings with organized labor representatives under existing Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to be included in the agenda packet for the first Council meeting of the month reflecting the progress of the previous month.

This item is not clear. Requiring monthly written reports from each “department, CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF JANUARY 11, 2022 REVIEW OF COUNCILMEMBER ELIAS’ PROPOSED RESOLUTION

Page 4 of 5 ends

commission, committee and contract over $100.000 [sic] as well as stimulated meetings” with labor representatives would require an exhaustive effort by each and every director, commission, vendor and labor union each month to prepare a report for the City Council. There needs clarity on what specifically is being requested. In addition, if the request for a report is from the City’s labor unions, there might be negotiation requirements with each labor group to request a report as recommended by the Mayor. Such monthly reports would certainly detract from the City’s business operations and progress. A semi-annual and annual report is part of the City’s budget process. If a status report of contracts which exceed $100,000 is being requested, a monthly report would redirect the City’s efforts from conducting the operational business of each department to continually preparing reports for City Council update.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Council, shall establish a sufficient number of committees to enable it to carry out its policy making duties; and the duty of the Council and its committees is to become fully informed of the business of the City; and the duty of the committees is to report to the Council any information or recommendations necessary to enable the Council to properly legislate, Whenever the City Council establishes committees, either standing or Ad Hoc, staff is required to services those committees. A committee structure can be beneficial, especially in larger cities, but cities the size of Pico Rivera generally operate through the entire legislative body. Ultimately, policy decisions rest with the entire City Council.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council meeting agenda format will be modified to comply with Robert's Rules of Order, Standard Order of Business.

The City Council does function under Robert’s Rules of Order. It is the Mayor’s duty (as Chair) to run and oversee all City Council meetings (subject to City Council review). The order of business has previously been addressed and defined by the City Council.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that resolution dated 05-26-20 shall be suspended indefinitely to allow for greater citizen participation in the creation and execution of public policy by the creation and maintenance of Standing Citizen Committees, Again, there was no resolution adopted on May 26, 2020. The policy statements by the then City Council are subject to review by the current members of the City Council. Standing Citizen Committees or City Council Committees will be subject to the Brown Act and will require City staff and attorney services. All these additional services will result in additional cost to the City’s budget.

BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED that section 1.04.050 Writing and Language of the City CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF JANUARY 11, 2022 REVIEW OF COUNCILMEMBER ELIAS’ PROPOSED RESOLUTION

Page 5 of 5 ends

of Pico Rivera Municipal code be amended to include "English and Spanish language" including Spanish translation services for all City Council meetings.

If the City Council desires to have all agendas be translated into Spanish a municipal code amendment would be required. Translation costs will be significant.

If the City Council wishes to have Spanish interpreter services implemented at each City Council meeting, direction would need to be provided to the City Manager to research the cost involved in securing such services and to report back to the City Council for final approval. California law does not require interpreter services for city council meetings.

BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED that all resolutions presented in this paper be effective immediately with the simple majority vote of the City Council The policy directives expressed in the Proposed Resolution would need to be separately identified and defined in order to craft the necessary legislative action to comport to State or local laws.

Conclusion:

While the City Council has previously discussed various elements of the Proposed Resolution, moving forward with the various components presented will certainly have significant operational and financial impacts to the City. These impacts do not address or reconcile the other issues regarding the authority defined in the City Council-City Manager form of government and current law defined by the California Government Code and the Pico Rivera Municipal Code.

Enclosure: 1) Councilmember Elias’ Proposed Resolution #092821

To: Mayor and City Council
From: City Manager
Meeting Date: January 11, 2022
Subject: AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN ACT (ARPA) ALLOCATION OF
FUNDS
Recommendation:

1. Receive and file the results of City Council’s ranking of ARPA funds allocation; and

2. Authorize the staff to allocate the ARPA funds of $14,772,455 for the projects/programs according to the City Council ranked preferences.

Fiscal Impact:

The $14,772,455 in local stimulus has been properly recorded in the fiscal year (FY) 2021- 22 Adopted Budget. Staff will appropriate these funds upon City Council approval of projects/programs.

Background:

The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA) is a $1.9 trillion economic stimulus bill signed into law by the President on March 11, 2021. Within the ARPA total allocation is $350 billion for state, local, territorial, and tribal governments to respond to the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) emergency. The City of Pico Rivera's (City) allocation of direct local stimulus is $14,772,455 with the first 50% allocation having been paid to the City in June 2021 and the balance anticipated to be paid in June 2022.

In building the list of options for City Council consideration, City staff aims to promote the effective, efficient, and prudent distribution of federal fiscal recovery funds. Additionally, considering its limited duration, it is recommended that ARPA funds strictly be used to support one-time, existing expenditures or unfunded infrastructure needs.

The ARPA itself is very broad in nature with a focus on four (4) key program areas:

1. For the provision of government service to the extent of a reduction in revenue due to COVID-19;

2. Respond to the public health emergencies or its negative economic impacts;

3. Respond to workers performing essential work during COVID-19; and CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF JANUARY 11, 2022

AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN ACT (ARPA) ALLOCATION OF FUNDS

Page 2 of 5 ends

4. Necessary investments in water, sewer or broadband infrastructure.

The use of ARPA funds is retroactive to March 3, 2021 and all funds must be obligated by December 31, 2024, as long as the award funds for the obligations are expended by December 31, 2026. A time period covering almost four (4) years is designed to provide prolonged support and recovery with the understanding that the recovery from COVID19 will take years. Therefore, building a spending plan is important to maximize impact to the city and community over time.

As it relates to future possible appropriations, consideration has been given to meeting important community needs, as identified within the City Council Priorities set forth below:
• Fiscal and Organizational Stability
• Economic Development
• A Dedication to Infrastructure
• Land Use
• Public Safety
Additionally, as ARPA funding is one-time funding, limited in duration, proposals that would establish new, ongoing programs that would necessitate continued support by the General Fund are generally not being proposed. The ARPA also specifically prohibited the deposit of any ARPA funds towards pension liabilities, making debt service payments or contributions to fiscal reserves.

Discussion:

While half of the allocation has been paid to the City, no appropriations or designations have been made thus far. At the August 10th City Council meeting, staff recommended to offset the Revenue Loss amount of $10,227,800 with law enforcement operating expenses and appropriate the remaining 4,544,655 to the Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) Capital Improvement Project. As both expenditures meet the requirements set forth by the Interim Guidance provided by the U.S. Treasury Department, it would enable the City to allocate those recovery funds to other general expenditures without the restrictions imposed by Federal Award Guidelines.

At the September 28, 2021 ARPA Study Session, staff presented the City Council with a list of general expenditure projects/services that align with the ARPA guidelines and City Council Priorities. They were identified as “shovel-ready” and could be completed by the ARPA deadline. The City Council had a thorough discussion and directed staff to perform further analysis.

At the October 26, 2021 ARPA Study Session, staff incorporated the City Council’s recommendations on September 28, 2021 and provided an updated list of projects/services for the City Council’s consideration. At the Study Session, the City Council directed staff to add new items to the list of funding options for City Council review and approval. Staff provided the updated matrix to the Council on October 28, 2021 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF JANUARY 11, 2022

Should this option be selected for funding, staff will need to develop parameters and program guidelines as to how these funds will be used. Additionally, these funds CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF JANUARY 11, 2022

AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN ACT (ARPA) ALLOCATION OF FUNDS

would still need to be administered within the established guidelines set forth by the Pico Rivera Municipal Code, procurement, and other City policies.

It is important to note that all of the current and future appropriation items are based on the Interim Guidance provided by the U.S. Treasury Department and that guidance is expected to be refined over the coming months. While staff does not expect the guidance to become more restrictive, there has been a strong push by officials at all levels for less restriction, primary in the areas of debt service and fiscal reserves. If the guidance or circumstance changes, the City Council may adjust the allocation accordingly.

Based on the priority ranked by the City Council, the ARPA funds can be allocated to the top projects/programs for a cumulative amount of $14,772,455. These projects/services align with the federal and community proprieties for public safety, infrastructure maintenance and development, and economic recovery and revitalization. The Council may adjust the list of projects/services over time to any of the allowable uses defined by U.S. Treasury’s guidance. All ARPA expenditures have to comply with the pertinent federal and city procurement policies and procedures.

Ranking Results
The ranking results will be reported to City Council at the January 11, 2022 City Council meeting.

Conclusion:

Based on the priority rankings provided by the City Council, staff will appropriate the ARPA funds of $14,772,455 to the selected projects/programs accordingly.
