Meeting Date: June 11, 2024
Subject: PUBLIC HEARING – PARAMOUNT/MINES LANDSCAPE

MAINTENANCE ASSESSMENT DISTRICT FOR FISCAL
YEAR 2024-25
Recommendations:

1. Conduct a public hearing;

2. Approve a resolution approving the Engineer’s Annual Levy Report for the Paramount/Mines Landscape Maintenance Assessment District for fiscal year (FY) 2024-25; and

3. Approve a resolution confirming the Diagram and Assessment and ordering the Levy of the FY 2024-25 Assessment for the Paramount/Mines Landscape Maintenance Assessment District pursuant to the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972.

Fiscal Impact:

The approval of the two (2) resolutions will allow the District to collect taxes to fund the utilities, maintenance, and projects appropriated in the FY 2024-25 Budget.

Discussion:

On May 14, 2024, the City Council approved resolutions initiating proceedings for the annual levy of assessments, approving the Engineer’s Report, declaring the City Council’s intention to make such levy and collection, and set June 11, 2024, as the date for the public hearing on objections thereto.

The Paramount/Mines Landscape Maintenance Assessment District was formed on August 5, 2002, pursuant to the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, Part 2 of Division 15, of the California Streets and Highways Code. 3 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF JUNE 11, 2024 PUBLIC HEARING – PARAMOUNT/MINES LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE
ASSESSMENT DISTRICT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2024-25

Page 2 of 3 ends

Under the 1972 Act, the Assessment District is authorized to fund, service, and/or maintain the following improvements within the district boundaries:
• Installation of planting of landscaping;
• Installation of curbs, gutters, walls, sidewalks, or paving, or water, irrigation, drainage, or electrical facilities; and
• Installation of park or recreational improvements, including land preparation, sod, landscaping, irrigation systems, sidewalks and drainage.

The holding of a duly noticed public hearing is required to levy the proposed assessment during FY 2024-25 and to fund public improvements, maintenance, and servicing described in the Engineer’s Report. At the hearing, all interested persons are afforded the opportunity to submit written protests and objections to the levy and collection of the proposed assessment. If upon close of the hearing, written protests filed and not withdrawn do not represent property owners owning more than 50% of the area of the assessable lands within the district, the City Council may proceed with the levying of the assessment.

Following the action, the City Council is asked to confirm the diagram and assessment; and order the maintenance, servicing, and construction of public improvements set forth in the Engineer’s Report. Adoption of the two (2) proposed resolutions constitutes the levy of the assessments set forth in the Engineer’s Report for FY 2024-25. In the previous year, the rate was $689 per parcel. The Engineer’s Report proposes to increase the assessment to $717, per parcel, a 4.026% increase to reflect the annual increase in Consumer Price Index (CPI) and will cover increased utility costs.

Assessments will be levied by the County of Los Angeles and funds so collected, after deduction of any compensation due the County of Los Angeles for collection, will be paid to the District Treasurer (Director of Administrative Services/Finance/City Treasurer).

Conclusion:

Staff recommends the City Council approve a resolution ratifying the Engineer’s Annual Levy Report for the Paramount/Mines Landscape Maintenance Assessment District for fiscal year (FY) 2024-25 and approve a resolution confirming the Diagram and Assessment and ordering the Levy of the FY 2024-25 Assessment for the Paramount/Mines Landscape Maintenance Assessment District pursuant to the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972.

A. INTRODUCTION
The City of Pico Rivera ("City") annually levies and collects special assessments in order to continue the maintenance and operation of landscaping within the Assessment District designated and known as:

CITY OF PICO RIVERA

PARAMOUNT MINES LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE DISTRICT
Pursuant to the order of the City Council of the City of Pico Rivera, this Report is prepared in compliance with the requirements of Article 4, Chapter 1, Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, Part 2 of Division 15 of the Streets and Highways Code of the State of California ( “1972 Act”).

This Engineer's Report (“Report”) provides an annual update of the Paramount Mines Landscape Maintenance District (“District”) including the proposed expenses and revenues, any substantial change in the improvements or the District, and the proposed assessments to be levied on the Los Angeles County (“County”) tax roll for Fiscal Year 2024/2025. The annual assessments to be levied on parcels within the District are based on a calculation of the proportional special benefits parcels receive from the improvements and services provided, utilizing an established method of apportionment. The revenues generated by the annual assessments partially fund the costs associated with the installation and maintenance of landscaping systems constructed as part of the development of Tracts No. 52915 and 53042 in the City of Pico Rivera.

The word “parcel”, for the purposes of this Report, refers to an individual property assigned its own Assessor’s Parcel Number (“APN”) by the Los Angeles County Assessor’s Office. The Los Angeles County Auditor/Controller uses these APN’s and specific Fund Numbers, to identify on the tax roll, properties assessed for special district benefit assessments.

2024/2025 Paramount Mines Landscape Maintenance District Page 4 of 8 III. METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT
A. GENERAL
The net amount to be assessed upon lands within the District in accordance with this Report is apportioned by a formula and method which fairly distributes the net amount to be assessed among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the benefits to be received by each lot or parcel from the improvements, namely the maintenance and servicing of landscaping improvements and facilities within the boundaries of the District. The maintenance and servicing of public landscaping provides a specific enhancement of the properties within the District which is received by each and every lot or parcel therein.

B. BENEFIT ANALYSIS
The District’s improvements, the associated costs and proposed assessments described in this Report, have been identified and allocated based on a benefit calculation that proportionally allocates the net cost to the benefiting properties pursuant to the provisions of Article XIIID and the 1972 Act.

The improvements provided by the District have been identified as necessary, required and/or desired for the orderly development of the properties within the District to their full potential, consistent with applicable portions of the City General Plan. The construction and installation of the improvements have been installed as a necessary part of property development within the District or would be required for the future development properties within the District if the improvements were not pre-existing. Therefore, any public access or use of these improvements by others is incidental and there is no measurable general benefit to properties outside the District or to the public at large.

Special Benefits
The improvements for which properties are assessed directly enhance the desirability, security, environment and surroundings of those properties and the ongoing operation, servicing and maintenance of the improvements are a distinct and special benefit to the properties within the District. The amount to be assessed against each parcel within the District represents only the parcel’s proportionate special benefit from the improvements.

Special Benefits of Street and Park Landscaping
The primary benefits of landscape improvements within street rights of way and parks are related to the improved quality of life these improvements provide to a community. The landscaping of street rights of way and park benefits parcels within the District by improving the physical and visual environment within the District and makes the properties therein more 2024/2025 Paramount Mines Landscape Maintenance District Page 5 of 8 desirable. Studies have continually shown that property values and the marketability of those properties in a community are increased when public infrastructures including landscaped improvements are in place and the improvements are clean and well-maintained. Facilities that are unsafe, in disrepair or destroyed by the elements or vandalism decrease the enhancement of surrounding properties.

Clearly well-maintained medians and parkways (street landscaping) and wellmaintained parks provide a particular and distinct special benefit to parcels within the District. Having properly maintained landscaping within the District means that the owners and visitors of the assessed parcels may enjoy the benefits of such improvements while avoiding the expense of privately installing and maintaining similar improvements. The proper maintenance of street landscaping and parks improves the aesthetics appeal of surrounding properties by reducing pollution and noise and providing a visual enhancement of the area that may otherwise be barren or weed infested.

These improvements directly reflect on properties within the District and enhance the environment enjoyed by owners, businesses, residents, tenants and their families. Each parcel within the District is located within reasonable proximity to the District’s landscape improvements, and therefore benefit from the on-going maintenance of those improvements that directly enhances the quality of life throughout the City.

The special benefits associated with street landscaping and park improvements are specifically:
 Enhanced desirability of properties through association with the improvements.
 Improved aesthetic appeal of properties providing a positive representation of the area.
 Enhanced adaptation of the urban environment within the natural environment from adequate green space, parks and landscaping.  Environmental enhancement through improved erosion resistance, dust and debris control, and fire prevention.
 Increased sense of pride in ownership of property within the District resulting from well-maintained improvements associated with the properties.
 Enhanced quality of life and recreational opportunities through well maintained recreational facilities.
2024/2025 Paramount Mines Landscape Maintenance District Page 6 of 8  Reduced criminal activity and property-related crimes (especially vandalism) against properties in the District through well-maintained surroundings and amenities.
 Enhanced environmental quality of the parcels by moderating temperatures, providing oxygenation and attenuating noise.

C. ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY
The net amount to be assessed upon specific parcels within the District in accordance with this report is apportioned by a formula and method which fairly distributes the amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the benefits to be received by each lot or parcel from the improvements, namely the maintenance and servicing of landscaping within such District. The maintenance and servicing of landscaping in the District provides a special benefit which is received by each and every lot or parcel (with the exception of Lot 11 of Tract 52915 which is a park) tending to provide specific enhancement of the properties within the District.

D. ASSESSMENT RANGE FORMULA
Limitation on Increase of Annual Assessments
The City Council intends to use as a guide, for the purpose of determining annual increases in assessments, the Consumer Price Index from March to March for all Urban Consumers for the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim area (“CPI”), as published by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics; provided, however, that any such annual increase in assessments shall not exceed ten percent (10%).

For Fiscal Year 2024/2025, the proposed rates include a 4.026% CPI adjustment.

The Fiscal Year 2024/2025 maximum rate has increased to $881.94 and the Fiscal Year 2024/2025 applied rate has increased to $716.64. Fiscal Year 2014/2015 was the first time the applied rate had increased since Fiscal Year 2003/2004.

E. ANNUAL ADMINISTRATIVE ASSESSMENT
A proposed maximum annual assessment shall be levied on each parcel of land and subdivision of land within the District to pay for the necessary costs and expenses incurred, and not otherwise reimbursed, resulting from the administration and collection of assessments and/or other related funds. This maximum assessment hereinafter set forth is authorized pursuant to the provisions of Section 10204, and said maximum annual assessment shall not exceed 5% per individual assessment, and said sum shall only be collected to the extent monies are not available for these services from any other source. 2024/2025 Paramount Mines Landscape Maintenance District Page 7 of 8 IV.

From: City Manager
Meeting Date: June 11, 2024
Subject: PUBLIC HEARING – FISCAL YEAR 2023-24 AND 2024-25

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT BUDGET

SUBSTANTIAL AMENDMENT
Recommendation:

1. Approve a resolution authorizing the City Manager, or designee, to update the 2023-24 and 2024-25 budget and submit revisions of the Action Plan to the U.S.

Department of Housing and Urban Development; and

2. Authorize the City Manager to enter into agreements with eligible subrecipients and purchase of supplies, programs, and equipment as noted in the fiscal year 2023-24 and 2024-25 Action Plan and budget.

Fiscal Impact:

There is no fiscal impact to the General Fund because of the update to the fiscal year (FY) 2023-24 and 2024-25 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) budget. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development has allocated the City $589,071 in CDBG funds for FY 2024-25. The attached budget (Enclosure 2) reflects the FY 2023- 24 remaining balance, FY 2024-25 allocation and the proposed funding distribution.

Background:

The City of Pico Rivera (City) receives an annual funding allocation in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). These funds are used for programs or projects that expand economic opportunities for low- and moderate-income households. Examples include public service projects, social services programs, and economic development activities.

Each year, the City prepares an Annual Action Plan in connection with the five-year Consolidated Plan, which details how the City will spend its allocated CDBG funds. 4 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF JUNE 11, 2024 PUBLIC HEARING – FISCAL YEAR 2023-24 AND 2024-25 COMMUNITY

On April 23, 2024, the City Council approved the FY 2024-25 Annual Action Plan and budget. In order to meet HUD deadlines, staff submitted the FY 2024-25 Action Plan and budget for City Council approval with an estimated allocation. On May 20, 2024, HUD issued the City’s FY 2024-25 allocation in the amount of $589,071. The purpose of this action is to update the budget with the final allocation, clearly delineate between FY 2023-24 and FY 2024-25 funds and determine which programs and projects will receive funding.

Discussion:

In accordance with the HUD-approved Citizen Participation Plan, the City is required to process a Substantial Amendment by holding a 30-day public comment period and publishing a public notice specifying the date, time, and location of a public hearing.

City staff published a public hearing notice in the Los Cerritos Community Newspaper on May 10, 2024. The City’s CDBG entitlement allocation for FY 2024-25 is $589,071.

Additionally, the City has a remaining FY 2023-24 balance of $294,328 (Enclosure 2).

Proposed CDBG funding allocations for FY 2023-2024 are as follows:

Program Activity FY 2023-2024

FY 2023-2024
(NEW) Allocation
Total FY 2023-2024
Allocation
Teen CenterConstruction $348,812 $294,328 $643,140
Proposed CDBG funding allocation for FY 2024-2025 are as follows:

Program Activity/Project Funding
Recommendation
Program Administration* $107,314
Fair Housing Services* $10,500
Southeast Area Social Services Funding Authority** $40,000 Heart of Compassion** $48,360
Handyworker Grant Program $125,000
Unallocated $257,897
Total $589,071
* Subject to 20% Administration cap
** Subject to 15% Public Service cap
Staff recommends allocating funds to the above-listed activities, which are further outlined below:
• Program administration funds are utilized for administration and planning activities, such as general management, oversight, preparing budgets and schedules, and preparing reports and other HUD-required documents. These CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF JUNE 11, 2024
PUBLIC HEARING – FISCAL YEAR 2023-24 AND 2024-25 COMMUNITY

DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT BUDGET SUBSTANTIAL AMENDMENT

Page 3 of 4 ends

funds help cover the consultant costs for the administration of the program.

Planning and administration costs are capped to 20% of the program year’s allocated CDBG entitlement, plus any program income received during that year. • The City is required to provide fair housing resources via a provider who can provide guidance and mediation for fair housing issues and complaints involving landlords and tenants. Fair housing activities are eligible administrative activities, and these costs are also subject to the 20% administration cap. • The Southeast Area Social Services Funding Authority (SASSFA) provides congregate meals at the Senior Center and home delivered meals to senior Pico Rivera residents. In addition to meals, SASSFA provides home chores/personal care and respite services. These are public service activities with costs capped to 15% of the program year’s allocated CDBG entitlement, plus any program income received during that year.
• Heart of Compassion plans to offer direct assistance to low-income Pico Rivera residents by distributing fresh fruits, vegetables, and other essential items twice a week. As public service activities these costs are also subject to the 15% public service cap.
• The Handyworker Grant Program is a home rehabilitation program. It allows up to $30,000 in grant funds for low-income homeowners with critical home repair needs. Staff recommends allocating $125,000 to this program for the upcoming fiscal year.
• Infrastructure and Public Facilities Improvements – Additional CDBG funds are recommended for allocation towards facility improvements at the Pico Rivera Teen Center. The additional funds support necessary improvements for the completion of this project. An extra $294,328 in FY 2023-24 funds will be added to the current CDBG program allocation of $348,812, resulting in a total of $643,140 in FY 2023-24 CDBG funding.

Environmental Analysis:

The proposed action is not subject to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to CEQA guidelines Section 15060(c)(2), 15060(c)(3) and 15061 (b)(3). An activity is not subject to CEQA if: The activity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. The activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378. The activity is covered by the commonsense exemption that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Here it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the proposed action may have a significant effect on the environment, therefore it is not subject to CEQA.

From: City Manager
Meeting Date: June 11, 2024
Subject: GENERAL MUNICIPAL ELECTION – NOVEMBER 5, 2024
Recommendation:

1. Approve a resolution calling for the holding of a General Municipal Election to be held on Tuesday, November 5, 2024, for the election of certain officers as required by the provisions of the laws of the State of California relating to General Law Cities;

2. Approve a resolution requesting the Board of Supervisors of the County of Los Angeles to render full services to the City relating to the conduct of a General Municipal Election to be held on Tuesday, November 5, 2024;

3. Approve a resolution requesting the Board of Supervisors of the County of Los Angeles to consolidate a General Municipal Election to be held on Tuesday, November 5, 2024 with the El Rancho Unified School District and the Pico Water District election to be held on the date pursuant to § 10403 of the Elections Code;

4. Approve a resolution adopting regulations for candidates for elective office pertaining to candidate statements submitted to the voters at an election to be held on Tuesday, November 5, 2024; and

5. Approve a resolution providing for a procedure for determining by lot a tie among candidates at the November 5, 2024 General Municipal Election in accordance with Elections Code Section 15651 and rescinding Resolution No. 7195.

Fiscal Impact:

The estimated cost of this General Municipal Election is $159,107. The proposed fiscal year (FY) 2024-2025 budget will include $150,000 in the City Clerk’s budget (Account No. 100.12.1200-52500, Election Costs) to cover all election related costs. Given that recent elections have consistently fallen below the estimated costs, any additional funding requirements will be addressed during the mid-year budget review. City Clerk staff will work closely with the County Registrar-Recorder to properly account for all municipal election results.
7 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF JUNE 11, 2024 GENERAL MUNICIPAL ELECTION – NOVEMBER 5, 2024

Page 2 of 2 ends

Discussion:

On Tuesday, November 5, 2024, a General Municipal Election is scheduled to be held for three (3) seats on the Pico Rivera City Council. The seats are currently held by Mayor Andrew C. Lara, Councilmember Erik Lutz and Councilmember Dr. Monica Sanchez.

Those persons elected will serve a four (4) year term expiring in November 2028.

State law suggests Monday, July 8, 2024 as the last day on which to approve resolutions related to the November 5, 2024 election. Presented for City Council review and approval are a series of resolutions which will have the effect of calling the election, requesting election related services with the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder County Clerk Elections Division, setting forth regulations for candidates’ statements, and providing a procedure for determining by lot a tie among candidates at the November 5, 2024 General Municipal Election pursuant to § 15651 of the Elections Code.

Pursuant to the Federal Voting Rights Act, Los Angeles County is required to make voting material available in English, Spanish, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Tagalog and Vietnamese. Materials in each of these required languages will be made available upon request. In addition, the sample ballot will contain instructions on how voting information in the required languages can be obtained via telephone at no cost to the voter. The demographics of Pico Rivera also require that the Voter’s Pamphlet be translated and printed in Spanish as well as English.

If a candidate chooses to have a Candidate’s Statement in the sample ballot, the candidate will be required to pay for printing of the statement in both English and Spanish. There will be a separate charge for the translation and printing.

Conclusion:

Pursuant to the schedule of election events prepared by the County Elections Department, the candidate filing period will open Monday, July 15, 2024, and will close Friday, August 9, 2024, at 5:00 p.m. If an incumbent fails to file by Friday, August 9, 2024, the filing period will be extended to Wednesday, August 14, 2024 at 5:00 p.m. The Secretary of State’s office will conduct the randomized alphabet drawing on Thursday, August 15, 2024 to determine the order of names on the City’s ballot. With approval of the five (5) resolutions presented with this agenda report, Election Code requirements will be satisfied.

Enclosure 2
7b
To: Mayor and City Council
From: City Manager
Meeting Date: June 11, 2024
Subject: RESOLUTION APPROVING THE INVESTMENT POLICY

FOR THE CITY OF PICO RIVERA FOR FISCAL YEAR
2024-2025
Recommendation:

1. Approve a resolution approving the Investment Policy for the City of Pico Rivera for fiscal year (FY) 2024-25 governing investments for the City.

Fiscal Impact:

There is no fiscal impact to the General Fund associated with the approval of the above recommendation.

Background:

The Investment Policy (Policy) for the City of Pico Rivera (City) is intended to provide guidelines for the prudent investment of the City's available resources and outline policies for maximizing the efficiency of the City's cash management process. The ultimate goal of an investment policy is to enhance the City’s economic status while protecting its pooled cash. In accordance with California Government Code (Gov.

Code) section 53646(a)(2), an annual rendering of the Policy shall be presented to the City Council for consideration at a public meeting. Additionally, the Policy states that it will be reviewed at least annually and presented to the City Council for review and approval.

Discussion:

The primary objective of the Policy is to provide a framework of approved securities in which the City can legally invest. The Policy drives the cash, treasury, and investment management functions of the City, and serves as a guide for setting and achieving program objectives, defining rules, establishing benchmarks, and reducing exposure to risks. It is also important to note that rating agencies pay close attention to a city’s investment policy and portfolio in determining its credit rating, which is a key element when seeking financing options for the City.
8 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF JUNE 11, 2024

RESOLUTION APPROVING THE INVESTMENT POLICY FOR THE CITY OF PICO RIVERA FOR FISCAL YEAR 2024-2025

Page 2 of 3 ends

The Policy is based on Gov. Code sections 53600 through 53609; and 53630 through 53686. These laws, as well as guidelines set forth by the Association of Public Treasurers of the United States and Canada, the California Debt and Investment Advisory Commission (CDIAC), the California Municipal Treasurers Association (CMTA), and the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA), have aided City staff in policy development. The state laws and established guidelines encompass a broad array of allowable investments and investment standards to suit the different needs of California's local agencies. The Policy is more conservative than what is allowed by state law as it further restricts the percentage of allowable credit investments. The Policy applies to the City's Pooled Investment Portfolio, Bond Proceeds Portfolio, and Special Districts Portfolio. These portfolios encompass all funds under the oversight of the City Treasurer or approved designee.

Currently, the City utilizes the services of Chandler Asset Management (Chandler), the City’s investment adviser, to invest and manage $32 million of the City’s idle cash, which ranges from $120 to $125 million. The remaining funds are invested in the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) operated by the State Treasurer and in the Commercial Bank of California Insured Cash Sweep.

To ensure the portfolio’s safety, the City only selects investments with the highest credit quality. The Chandler Managed Portfolio is composed primarily of Treasury Securities and Federal Government-sponsored entity debt, otherwise known as federal agency securities. Federal agency securities, such as Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac), benefit from the backing of the Federal government.

Utilizing CMTA guidelines, the Government Code, and the expertise of Chandler, the Policy is presented in Exhibit A of the resolution. The Government Code allows for a limited scope of investments since public funds are invested, and the overall goal is the preservation of these funds. It is in the City’s best interest to fully avail itself of the investments allowed per Government Code section 53600, et seq.

The City submitted the attached Policy to the CMTA after the City Council adopted it on August 1, 2023. It was independently evaluated by three (3) raters and was given a passing score by each rater. The passing score earned the City a “Certified” distinction.

Since then, the Government Code has updated its recommendations for the following, which are all reflected in Exhibit A:
• (8.0 Authorized and Suitable Investments) Investments are prohibited to have a forward settlement in excess of 45 days from the date of investment. • (18.0 Reporting) Quarterly reporting is now required within 45 days, rather than 30 days.
• (20.0 Glossary) Remaining maturity shall be measured from settlement date to CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF JUNE 11, 2024

RESOLUTION APPROVING THE INVESTMENT POLICY FOR THE CITY OF PICO RIVERA FOR FISCAL YEAR 2024-2025

Page 3 of 3 ends

final maturity, rather than the commonly interpreted trade date.

Chandler also reviewed the Policy and made these recommended changes. After these revisions, the Policy is still in line with best practices to ensure security, maintain liquidity, and seek yield where appropriate. This proposed Policy adheres to CMTA’s best practices and demonstrates to external rating agencies that the City is committed to safeguarding taxpayer dollars and taking full advantage of investments, as allowed per Gov. Code section 53600, et seq.

The Administrative Services Department presents the monthly investment transaction report and the quarterly investment report to the City Council in line with the recommendations and requirements set by the CMTA and the State of California. City staff will continue reviewing the Policy on an annual basis and present the investment transaction report monthly and the Schedule of Investment quarterly to the City Council.

Conclusion:

Staff recommends the City Council approve a resolution (Enclosure 1) ratifying the Investment Policy for the City of Pico Rivera for FY 2024-25 to help ensure the safety and liquidity of the City’s idle cash. The enclosed Policy conforms to Government Code sections 53600 through 53609; and 53630 through 53686. All permitted investment types are represented in Exhibit A within Enclosure 1.

1.0 Policy
The purpose of this document is to provide guidelines for the prudent investment of the City and Successor Agency’s idle cash and outline policies for maximizing the efficiency of the City/Successor Agency’s cash management system. The ultimate goal is to ensure security, maintain liquidity, and seek yield where appropriate. This investment policy is in accordance with the provisions in Sections 16429.1 and 53600 through 53684 of the California Government Code. (For the purposes of the remainder of this policy, any reference to “City” is inclusive of the Successor Agency.)

2.0 Scope
Included in the scope of the City’s investment policy are the following major guidelines and practices to be used in achieving the City’s primary investment objectives:
• Investment Authority and Responsibilities
• Eligible Financial Institutions
• Authorized Investments
• Investment Parameters
• Cash Management
• Evaluation of Investment Performance
• Investment Reporting
• Investment Policy Review and Adoption
It is intended that this policy cover all funds and investment activities under the direct authority of the City of Pico Rivera, Pico Rivera Successor Agency (formerly known as the Redevelopment Agency), Pico Rivera Housing Assistance Agency, the Pico Rivera Water Authority, and all other funds and investment activities under the direct authority of the Pico Rivera City Treasurer, except for bond proceeds which are governed by their respective indenture agreements.

Subject to the prior written consent and approval of the City Treasurer and City Manager, City of Pico Rivera
Investment Policy June 2024
Page | 4
financial assets held and invested by trustees or fiscal agents are excluded from this policy. However, such assets are nevertheless subject to the regulations established by the State of California pertaining to investments by local agencies as well as the related bond indentures.

3.0 Prudence
Pursuant to California Government Code, Section 53600.3, all persons authorized to make investment decisions on behalf of the City are trustees and therefore fiduciaries subject to the Prudent Investor Standard:
“…all governing bodies of local agencies or persons authorized to make investment decisions on behalf of those local agencies investing public funds pursuant to this chapter are trustees and therefore fiduciaries subject to the prudent investor standard. 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.

Within the limitations of this section and considering individual investments as part of an overall strategy, investments may be acquired as authorized by law.” Investment officers and other authorized persons responsible for managing City funds acting in accordance with written procedures and this investment policy and exercising due diligence shall be relieved of personal responsibility for an individual security’s credit risk or market price changes provided that the Investment officers or other authorized persons acted in good faith. Deviations from expectations of a security’s credit or market risk should be reported to the governing body in a timely fashion and appropriate action should be taken to control adverse developments.

Investment Policy June 2024

4.0 Objective
In accordance with Government Code Section 53600.5, the primary objectives, in priority order, of investment activities shall be safety, liquidity, and yield:

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 objective will be to mitigate credit risk and interest rate risk.

Credit Risk – is the risk of loss due to the failure of an issuer of a security. The City will minimize credit risk by:
o Limiting investments to the safest types of securities o Diversifying the investment portfolio so that potential losses on individual securities will be minimized.

Market Rate Risk – is the risk of market fluctuations due to overall changes in the general level of interest rates. The City will minimize the market rate risk by:
o Structuring the investment portfolio so that securities mature to meet cash requirements for ongoing operations, thereby avoiding the need to sell securities on the open market prior to maturity
o Investing operating funds primarily in shorter-term securities, money market mutual funds, or similar investment pools
Liquidity
The investment portfolio shall remain sufficiently liquid to meet all operating requirements that may be reasonably anticipated. This is accomplished by structuring the portfolio so that securities mature concurrent with cash needs to meet anticipated demands (static liquidity). Furthermore, since all possible cash demands cannot be anticipated, the portfolio should consist largely of securities with active secondary or resale markets City of Pico Rivera
Investment Policy June 2024
Page | 6
(dynamic liquidity). A portion of the portfolio also will be placed in money market mutual funds or local government investment pools which offer same-day liquidity for short term funds.

Yield
The investment portfolio shall be designed with the objective of attaining a market rate of return throughout budgetary and economic cycles, taking into account the investment risk constraints and liquidity needs. Return on investment is of secondary importance compared to the safety and liquidity objectives described above. The City will invest in relatively low risk securities in anticipation of earning a fair return relative to the risk being assumed. Securities shall not normally be sold prior to maturity with the following exceptions:
o A security with declining credit may be sold early to minimize loss of principal.
o A security swap would improve the quality, yield, or target duration in the portfolio.
o Liquidity needs of the portfolio require that the security be sold.

5.0 Delegation of Authority
The City Council is responsible for the management of the City’s funds, including the administration of this investment policy. Management responsibility for the cash management of the City’s funds is hereby delegated to the Treasurer.

The Treasurer will be responsible for all transactions undertaken and will establish a system of procedures and controls to regulate the activities of subordinate officials and employees. Such procedures will 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 Treasurer.

City of Pico Rivera
Investment Policy June 2024
Page | 7
The City may engage the services of one or more external investment advisers, who are registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, to assist in the management of the City’s investment portfolio in a manner consistent with the City’s objectives. External investment advisers may be granted discretion to purchase and sell investment securities in accordance with this investment policy.

The City's overall investment program shall be designed and managed with a degree of professionalism that is worthy of the public trust. The City recognizes that in a diversified portfolio, occasional measured losses may be inevitable and must be considered within the context of the overall portfolio’s return and the cash flow requirements of the City.

6.0 Ethics and Conflicts of Interest
The City adopts the following policy concerning conflicts of interest:

Officers and employees involved in the investment process shall refrain from personal business activity that could conflict with proper execution and management of the investment program, or that could impair their ability to make impartial decisions.

Officers and employees involved in the investment process shall disclose to the City Clerk any material interest in financial institutions that conduct business with the City of Pico Rivera and they shall further disclose any personal financial/investment positions that could be related to the performance of the City’s investment portfolio.

Officers and employees shall not undertake personal investment transactions with the same individual with whom business is conducted on behalf of the City.

If there is an event subject to disclosure that could impair the ability of an officer or employee to make impartial decisions, the officer or employee must notify the City Manager in writing within ten (10) days.

The Director of Finance will maintain a list of financial institutions authorized to provide investment services to the City, will not give full discretionary authority to external investment managers and will not use external investment managers to purchase or sell securities or manage the City’s portfolio unless specifically approved by the City Council with a contract signed by the Mayor and City Attorney.

The City of Pico Rivera shall comply with Government Code Section 53631.5 which states, “[a] local agency shall not invest any funds pursuant to this article in inverse floaters, range notes, or interest-only strips that are derived from a pool of mortgages” and that “[a] local agency shall not invest any funds pursuant to this article in any security that could result in zero interest accrual if held to maturity.” Under a provision sunsetting on January 1, 2026, securities backed by the U.S. Government that could result in a zeroor negative-interest accrual if held to maturity are permitted.

The purchase of a security with a forward settlement date exceeding 45 days from the time of the investment is prohibited.

Investment Policy June 2024

Legislative Changes
Any State of California legislative action that further restricts allowable maturities, investment types or percentage allocations will be incorporated into the City of Pico Rivera Investment Policy and supersede any and all previous applicable language. If the City is holding an investment that is subsequently prohibited by a legislative change, the City may hold that investment, if it is deemed prudent by the Investment Officer, until the maturity date to avoid an unnecessary loss.

9.0 Review of Investment Portfolio
The securities held at the City of Pico Rivera must be in compliance with Section 8.0 Authorized and Suitable Investments at the time of purchase. Because some securities may not comply with Section 8.0 Authorized and Suitable Investments subsequent to the date of purchase, The Treasurer shall at least annually review the portfolio to identify those securities that so not comply. The Treasurer shall establish procedures to report to the City of Pico Rivera and to its oversight committee, should one exist, major and critical incidences of noncompliance identified through the review of the portfolio.

10.0 Investment Pools/Mutual Funds
As stated, a thorough investigation of an investment pool or mutual fund is required prior to investing and on a continual basis. At a minimum, the following information shall be on file for each pool and/or mutual fund:

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

2. A description of interest calculations, how interest is distributed, and how gains and losses are treated;
City of Pico Rivera
Investment Policy June 2024
Page | 15

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

4. A description of who may invest in the program, how often, and the size of deposits and withdrawals;

5. A schedule for receiving statements and portfolio listings;

6. Whether reserves, retained earnings, etc. are utilized by the pool/fund;

7. A fee schedule and when and how fees are assessed; and

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

11.0 Collateralization
California law requires that public funds be collateralized. The depository must secure its public fund accounts by maintaining with the agent of the depository government securities having a market value of at least one hundred ten percent (110%) of the value of the public fund accounts. If a depository uses mortgage-backed securities (i.e., promissory notes secured by first mortgages or first deeds of trust) as collateral for public deposits, the market value of the mortgage-backed securities must be at least one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the value of the public fund accounts.

The collateralization requirement may be waived to the extent that funds are federally insured (currently up to $250,000 per institution). For deposits equivalent to the maximum insured amount, security may also be waived for interest accrued on the deposit provided the interest is computed by the depository on the average daily balance of the deposits, paid monthly and computed on a 360-day basis.

12.0 Safekeeping and Custody
Securities will be held by an independent third-party custodian selected by the City as evidenced by safekeeping receipts in the City’s name and monthly reports from the custodian. All investment transactions shall be conducted on a delivery-versus-payment City of Pico Rivera
Investment Policy June 2024
Page | 16
basis.

13.0 Diversification
The investments shall be diversified by:
• The diversification requirements included in the “Authorized Investments” section of this policy are designed to mitigate credit risk in the portfolio. No more than 5% of the total portfolio may be deposited with or invested in securities issued by any single issuer unless otherwise specified in this policy. • Avoiding investment in securities that have low ratings • Investing in securities with varying maturities, and
• Continuously investing a portion of the portfolio in readily available funds such as local government investment pools (LAIF), or money market funds to ensure that appropriate liquidity is maintained in order to meet ongoing obligations.

14.0 Maximum Maturities
In order to minimize the impact of market risk, it is intended that all investments will be held to maturity.

To the extent possible, the City shall 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 five (5) years from the date of purchase or in accordance with state and local statutes and ordinances.

Investments may be sold prior to maturity for cash flow, appreciation purposes or in order to limit losses; however, no investment shall be made based solely on earnings anticipated from capital gains.

Because of inherent difficulties in accurately forecasting cash flow requirements, a portion of the portfolio should be continuously invested in readily available funds.

City of Pico Rivera
Investment Policy June 2024
Page | 17

15.0 Internal Controls
The Director of Finance is responsible for establishing and maintaining an internal control structure designed to ensure that the assets of the City are protected from loss, theft or misuse. The internal control structure shall be designed to provide reasonable assurance that these objectives are met. The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that (1) the cost of a control should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived and (2) the valuation of costs and benefits requires estimates and judgments by management.

Accordingly, the investment officer shall establish a process for an annual independent review by an external auditor to assure compliance with policies and procedures. The internal controls shall address the following points:
• Control of collusion.
• Separation of transaction authority from accounting and recordkeeping. • Custodial safekeeping.
• Avoidance of physical delivery securities.
• Clear delegation of authority to subordinate staff members. • Written confirmation of transactions for investments and wire transfers. • Development of a wire transfer agreement with the lead bank and third party custodian

16.0 Cash Management
To obtain a reasonable return on public funds, the following cash management practices will be followed:
• Maintain maximum investment of all City funds not required to meet immediate cash flow needs.
• Except for cash in certain restricted and special funds, the City will consolidate cash balances from all funds to maximize investment earnings. Investment City of Pico Rivera
Investment Policy June 2024
Page | 18
income will be allocated to the various funds based on their respective participation and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. • Maximize the City’s cash flow through immediate deposit of all receipts, use of direct deposit when available, and appropriate timing of payment to vendors. • Maximize cash flow information available through the use of only one operating bank account.

17.0 Performance Standards
The investment portfolio will be designed to obtain a market average rate of return during budgetary and economic cycles, taking into account the City’s investment risk constraints and cash flow needs.

The investment portfolio shall be structured to optimize the return given the risk constraints and cash flow needs.

Investment performance shall be continually monitored and evaluated by the Investment Officer. Investment performance statistics and activity reports shall be generated on a quarterly basis for presentation to the City Council.

The Investment officer shall monitor and evaluate the portfolio’s performance relative to the chosen market benchmark(s), which will be included in the quarterly investment report. The Investment officer shall select an appropriate, readily available index to use as a market benchmark.

18.0 Reporting
Monthly transaction reports will be submitted by the Treasurer to the City Council within 45 days of the end of the reporting period in accordance with California Government Code Section 53607. The City Treasurer shall prepare and submit a quarterly investment report to the City Council. This report will include the following elements relative to the investments held at quarter-end.

20.0 Glossary
AGENCIES. Shorthand market terminology for any obligation issued by a governmentsponsored entity (GSE), or a federally related institution. Most obligations of GSEs are not guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the US government. Examples are:

FFCB. The Federal Farm Credit Bank System provides credit and liquidity in the agricultural industry. FFCB issues discount notes and bonds.

FHLB. The Federal Home Loan Bank provides credit and liquidity in the housing market. FHLB issues discount notes and bonds.

FHLMC. Like FHLB, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation provides credit and liquidity in the housing market. FHLMC, also called “FreddieMac” issues discount notes, bonds and mortgage pass-through securities.

FNMA. Like FHLB and FreddieMac, the Federal National Mortgage Association was established to provide credit and liquidity in the housing market. FNMA, also known as “FannieMae,” issues discount notes, bonds and mortgage passthrough securities.

GNMA. The Government National Mortgage Association, known as “GinnieMae,” issues mortgage pass-through securities, which are guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the US Government.

PEFCO. The Private Export Funding Corporation assists exporters. Obligations of PEFCO are not guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the US government.

TVA. The Tennessee Valley Authority provides flood control and power and promotes development in portions of the Tennessee, Ohio, and Mississippi River valleys. TVA currently issues discount notes and bonds.

ASKED. The price at which a seller offers to sell a security.

ASSET BACKED SECURITIES. Securities supported by pools of installment loans or leases or by pools of revolving lines of credit.

AVERAGE LIFE. In mortgage-related investments, including CMOs, the average time to expected receipt of principal payments, weighted by the amount of principal expected.

BANKER’S ACCEPTANCE. A money market instrument created to facilitate international trade transactions. It is highly liquid and safe because the risk of the trade transaction is transferred to the bank which “accepts” the obligation to pay the investor.

City of Pico Rivera
Investment Policy June 2024
Page | 21
CALLABLE. A callable security gives the issuer the option to call it from the investor prior to its maturity. The main cause of a call is a decline in interest rates. If interest rates decline since an issuer issues securities, it will likely call its current securities and reissue them at a lower rate of interest. Callable securities have reinvestment risk as the investor may receive its principal back when interest rates are lower than when the investment was initially made.

CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSIT (CD). A time deposit with a specific maturity evidenced by a certificate. Large denomination CDs may be marketable.

CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSIT ACCOUNT REGISTRY SYSTEM (CDARS). A private placement service that allows local agencies to purchase more than $250,000 in CDs from a single financial institution (must be a participating institution of CDARS) while still maintaining FDIC insurance coverage. CDARS facilitates the trading of deposits between the California institution and other participating institutions in amounts that are less than $250,000 each, so that FDIC coverage is maintained.

COLLATERAL. Securities or cash pledged by a borrower to secure repayment of a loan or repurchase agreement. Also, securities pledged by a financial institution to secure deposits of public monies.

COLLATERALIZED MORTGAGE OBLIGATIONS (CMO). Classes of bonds that redistribute the cash flows of mortgage securities (and whole loans) to create securities that have different levels of prepayment risk, as compared to the underlying mortgage securities.

COMMERCIAL PAPER. The short-term unsecured debt of corporations.

COST YIELD. The annual income from an investment divided by the purchase cost.

Because it does not give effect to premiums and discounts which may have been included in the purchase cost, it is an incomplete measure of return.

COUPON. The rate of return at which interest is paid on a bond.

CREDIT RISK. The risk that principal and/or interest on an investment will not be paid in a timely manner due to changes in the condition of the issuer.

CURRENT YIELD. The annual income from an investment divided by the current market value. Since the mathematical calculation relies on the current market value rather than the investor’s cost, current yield is unrelated to the actual return the investor will earn if the security is held to maturity.

DEALER. A dealer acts as a principal in security transactions, selling securities from and buying securities for his own position.

DEBENTURE. A bond secured only by the general credit of the issuer.

DELIVERY VS. PAYMENT (DVP). A securities industry procedure whereby payment for a security must be made at the time the security is delivered to the purchaser’s agent.

DERIVATIVE. Any security that has principal and/or interest payments which are subject to uncertainty (but not for reasons of default or credit risk) as to timing and/or amount, or any security which represents a component of another security which has been separated from other components (“Stripped” coupons and principal). A derivative City of Pico Rivera

Page | 22
is also defined as a financial instrument the value of which is totally or partially derived from the value of another instrument, interest rate, or index.

DISCOUNT. The difference between the par value of a bond and the cost of the bond, when the cost is below par. Some short-term securities, such as T-bills and banker’s acceptances, are known as discount securities. They sell at a discount from par, and return the par value to the investor at maturity without additional interest. Other securities, which have fixed coupons, trade at a discount when the coupon rate is lower than the current market rate for securities of that maturity and/or quality.

DIVERSIFICATION. Dividing investment funds among a variety of investments to avoid excessive exposure to any one source of risk.

DURATION. The weighted average time to maturity of a bond where the weights are the present values of the future cash flows. Duration measures the price sensitivity of a bond to changes in interest rates. (See modified duration).

FEDERAL FUNDS RATE. The rate of interest charged by banks for short-term loans to other banks. The Federal Reserve Bank through open-market operations establishes it.

FEDERAL OPEN MARKET COMMITTEE. A committee of the Federal Reserve Board that establishes monetary policy and executes it through temporary and permanent changes to the supply of bank reserves.

LEVERAGE. Borrowing funds in order to invest in securities that have the potential to pay earnings at a rate higher than the cost of borrowing.

LIQUIDITY. The speed and ease with which an asset can be converted to cash.

LOCAL AGENCY INVESTMENT FUND (LAIF). A voluntary investment fund open to government entities and certain non-profit organizations in California that is managed by the State Treasurer’s Office.

LOCAL GOVERNMENT INVESTMENT POOL. Investment pools that range from the State Treasurer’s Office Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) to county pools, to Joint Powers Authorities (JPAs). These funds are not subject to the same SEC rules applicable to money market mutual funds.

MAKE WHOLE CALL. A type of call provision on a bond that allows the issuer to pay off the remaining debt early. Unlike a call option, with a make whole call provision, the issuer makes a lump sum payment that equals the net present value (NPV) of future coupon payments that will not be paid because of the call. With this type of call, an investor is compensated, or "made whole."
MARGIN. The difference between the market value of a security and the loan a broker makes using that security as collateral.

MARKET RISK. The risk that the value of securities will fluctuate with changes in overall market conditions or interest rates.

MARKET VALUE. The price at which a security can be traded.

MARKING TO MARKET. The process of posting current market values for securities in a portfolio.

MUNICIPAL SECURITIES. Securities issued by state and local agencies to finance capital and operating expenses.

MUTUAL FUND. An entity which pools the funds of investors and invests those funds in a set of securities which is specifically defined in the fund’s prospectus. Mutual funds can be invested in various types of domestic and/or international stocks, bonds, and money market instruments, as set forth in the individual fund’s prospectus. For most large, institutional investors, the costs associated with investing in mutual funds are higher than the investor can obtain through an individually managed portfolio.

NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED STATISTICAL RATING ORGANIZATION (NRSRO).

A credit rating agency that the Securities and Exchange Commission in the United States uses for regulatory purposes. Credit rating agencies provide assessments of an investment's risk. The issuers of investments, especially debt securities, pay credit rating agencies to provide them with ratings. The three most prominent NRSROs are Fitch, S&P, and Moody's.

PRUDENT PERSON (PRUDENT INVESTOR) RULE. A standard of responsibility which applies to fiduciaries. In California, the rule is stated as “Investments shall be managed with the care, skill, prudence and diligence, under the circumstances then prevailing, that a prudent person, acting in a like capacity and familiar with such matters, would use in the conduct of an enterprise of like character and with like aims to accomplish similar purposes.”
REALIZED YIELD. The change in value of the portfolio due to interest received and interest earned and realized gains and losses. It does not give effect to changes in market value on securities, which have not been sold from the portfolio.

REGIONAL DEALER. A financial intermediary that buys and sells securities for the benefit of its customers without maintaining substantial inventories of securities and that is not a primary dealer.

REPURCHASE AGREEMENT. Short-term purchases of securities with a simultaneous agreement to sell the securities back at a higher price. From the seller’s point of view, the same transaction is a reverse repurchase agreement.

TOTAL RATE OF RETURN. A measure of a portfolio’s performance over time. It is the internal rate of return, which equates the beginning value of the portfolio with the ending value; it includes interest earnings, realized and unrealized gains, and losses in the portfolio.

U.S. TREASURY OBLIGATIONS. Securities issued by the U.S. Treasury and backed by the full faith and credit of the United States.

The Treasury issues both discounted securities and fixed coupon notes and bonds.

TREASURY BILLS. All securities issued with initial maturities of one year or less are issued as discounted instruments, and are called Treasury bills. The Treasury currently issues three- and six-month T-bills at regular weekly auctions. It also issues “cash management” bills as needed to smooth out cash flows.

City of Pico Rivera
Investment Policy June 2024
Page | 25
TREASURY NOTES. All securities issued with initial maturities of two to ten years are called Treasury notes, and pay interest semi-annually.

From: City Manager
Meeting Date: June 11, 2024
Subject: RESOLUTION UPDATING JOB DESCRIPTIONS FOR THE

FULL-TIME ACCOUNTANT I, ACCOUNTANT II,

ACCOUNTANT III, AND HOUSING PROGRAM SPECIALIST

POSITIONS
Recommendation:

1. Approve a resolution updating the job descriptions for the full-time Accountant I, Accountant II, Accountant III, and Housing Program Specialist positions.

Fiscal Impact:

Sufficient funding has been appropriated for these positions in the fiscal year (FY) 2023- 24 Adopted Budget and have been accounted for in the (FY) 2024-25 Proposed Budget.

No additional funding is needed.

Background:

Job descriptions are essential to recruitment, training, and development of the workforce as they identify employees’ tasks and responsibilities, as well as how they directly support the organization’s vision and goals. As part of the Human Resources Strategic Plan towards organizational sustainability, the Human Resources Department (HR) has developed a plan to update the City’s job descriptions in order to reflect the changing duties affected by enhanced technologies, priority initiatives, elimination of redundancy, etc. In addition, some of these job descriptions necessitate specific details about tasks and required experience.

Discussion:

The City of Pico Rivera (City) recognizes that the roles and abilities of employees have adapted to advancements in technology and the shift towards shared responsibilities.

Moreover, revising the job descriptions to accurately reflect the work being done, and the true responsibilities of the position, may help identify gaps or overlap in the workforce. A current, accurate job description is an excellent tool for managers to use as a guide for discussions with employees about performance excellence, deficiencies, needs for skills development, teamwork, organizational changes and/or career progress. It is also a 9 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF JUNE 11, 2024

transparency tool used to describe responsibilities and duties to potential applicants and future employees. The use of updated, descriptive, and accurate job descriptions and titles is crucial in advertising job openings and conducting market studies to ensure that staff are recruited for the workforce demands of the City.

As a result, HR has been working diligently and systematically in reviewing the job descriptions, particularly for vacant positions that require recruitment and updating them according to the specific needs of each department. We have accomplished this by working closely with each department and to better understand the needs of the department, as it pertains to each of these roles. Additionally, we have conducted studies of like positions throughout cities and reviewed and compared their current job descriptions to those we are developing and updating. We have also worked closely with our unions to ensure their input and alignment in the revision of the job description.

The job descriptions for the Accountant Series (Accountant I, II and III) have been updated to better differentiate between each classification by identifying their distinctive characteristics for each level and to include language that better encompasses the duties performed at each level, including: assist in compiling supporting documents for reconciliations (Accountant I), correct and reconcile account balances to External Data (Accountant II) and supervise and participate in the posting, balancing and reconciliation of the general ledger and subsidiary accounts for complex funds (Accountant III).

The job description for the Housing Program Specialist has also been updated to better encompass the duties performed, which include conducting initial, interim, and annual interviews of program applicants and current participants, counsel owners on program regulations, responding to their inquiries, assisting with problems, investigating program abuse, preparing termination letters, and representing the Housing Authority at tenant termination hearings. Moving forward, HR will continue to review and collaborate with individual departments to tailor each position classification based on the relevant role, title, specialization, and expectations of the position.

Conclusion:

Staff recommends that the City Council approve a resolution (Enclosure 1) adopting the job descriptions (Exhibit A) for the full-time Accountant I, Accountant II, Accountant III, and Housing Program Specialist positions. The salary schedules (Exhibit B) for these positions will remain the same and there are no changes to the budgeted salaries and benefits of these positions.

REHABILITATION IMPROVEMENT PROJECT (CIP NO.
50074)
Recommendation:

1. Approve Amendment No. 2 to Professional Services Agreement No. 23-2224 with Ware Malcomb for an additional amount of $56,840, for a total contract amount notto-exceed $129,975 to provide design services for the City Hall Council Chambers Rehabilitation Improvement Project, CIP No. 50074, (Project); and

2. Authorize the City Manager to execute Amendment No. 2 in a form approved by the City Attorney.

Fiscal Impact:

The fiscal year (FY) 2023-24 Adopted Budget includes $340,000 for the City Hall Council Chambers Rehabilitation Improvement Project, CIP No. 50074, (Project) in the General Fund (Fund 100) under Account No. 100.40.4010-54500-CIP50074 (Contracted Services).

No additional funding is required at this time. Future funding will be required for the construction of the City Hall Council Chambers and will be requested at a future meeting.

Discussion:

On April 27, 2021, the City Council authorized the City Manager to execute Professional Services Agreement (PSA) No. 21-1999 with Ware Malcomb to provide interior architecture and design, civil design and engineering, and construction contract administration and consulting services for the Americans with Disability Act (ADA) City Hall Project (CIP No. 50035), which is now complete. Under that original agreement, Ware Malcomb was tasked to develop improvements for ADA compliance only in areas that interface with the public.

Ware Malcomb performed an initial assessment and provided preliminary concepts that included the lobby, restrooms, exterior paths-of-travel, as well as improvements to the City Hall Council Chambers. As the ADA project developed and transitioned from preliminary 11 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF JUNE 11, 2024 APPROVE AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT NO. 23- 2224 WITH WARE MALCOMB FOR THE CITY HALL COUNCIL CHAMBERS REHABILITATION IMPROVEMENT PROJECT (CIP NO. 50074)

planning to design, review of the proposed concepts determined that specific improvements for the chambers fell outside the scope of eligible ADA improvements under CDBG funding.

For this reason, the City Hall Council Chambers improvements were separated from the CDBG project and became an independent project, CIP No. 50074.

Direction was given to Ware Malcomb to provide continued support in developing concepts for the chamber improvements. To allow these services to continue, a new PSA 23-2224 was executed on August 16, 2023, in the amount of $29,995.

On January 9, 2024, City Council approved Amendment No. 1 to Ware Malcomb’s PSA 23- 2224 for an additional amount of $43,140, increasing the total not-to-exceed amount to $73,135. The scope of work under this amendment included completion of 17 different design concepts, including preliminary electrical and mechanical engineering.

As this project now advances into the final design for the City Hall Council Chamber improvements, Ware Malcomb will incur design costs for final construction plans, specifications and estimate, including structural engineering. The additional costs for Amendment No. 2 amount to $56,840, increasing the total contract amount not-to-exceed $129,975. No additional design costs are anticipated beyond this amount for this project.

Conclusion:

Staff recommends approval of Amendment No. 2 to Agreement No. 23-2224 with Ware Malcomb for an additional amount of $56,840, for a total contract amount not-to-exceed $129,975 and authorize the City Manger to execute Amendment No. 2 to Professional Services Agreement 23-2224.
