SUBJECT: Consideration of a Resolution by the City Council, as the Code Reviewing Body Pursuant to the California Political Reform Act, Approving the Conflict of Interest Code for the Rancho Cucamonga EIFD Public Financing Authority (RESOLUTION NO. 2022-093)(CITY).
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council, as the code reviewing body pursuant to the California Political Reform Act, adopt a Resolution to approve the Conflict of Interest Code for the Rancho Cucamonga EIFD Public Financing Authority (“RC EIFD Public Financing Authority”).
BACKGROUND:
On February 16, 2022, the City Council adopted a Resolution of Intention (ROI) establishing the RC EIFD Public Financing Authority as the governing board for the Rancho Cucamonga Enhanced Infrastructure Financing District. The RC EIFD Public Financing Authority was required to adopt its own Conflict of Interest Code in accordance with the California Political Reform Act.
However, the Conflict of Interest Code is not in effect until approved by the City Council of the City of Rancho Cucamonga, which serves as the code reviewing body for the RC EIFD Public Financing Authority.
ANALYSIS:
The Political Reform Act, Government Code section 81000, et seq., requires every state or local government agency to adopt and promulgate a Conflict of Interest Code. On May 10, 2022, the RC EIFD Public Financing Authority adopted its own Conflict of Interest Code which set forth the terms of a standard model Conflict of Interest Code.
Each member of the RC EIFD Public Financing Authority, as well as the alternates, Executive Director, General Counsel, and consultants, will file statements of economic interests (Form 700) to disclose any financial interests as required. The City Clerk will maintain statements of economic interest filed by designated officials in the Conflict of Interest Code.
Adoption of the Resolution is recommended in order to complete this process for the EIFD. Any future amendments to the Conflict of Interest Code will need to be approved by the City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact from this item.

BACKGROUND
On November 7, 2000, an election was held and the property owners within the boundary of Community Facilities District No. 2000-01 (South Etiwanda) (the “District”) authorized the District to incur bonded indebtedness in the principal amount of $1,365,000. On November 15, 2000, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 645 authorizing the levy of a Special Tax in the District. Bonds were issued on December 21, 2000, for the purpose of financing the acquisition of certain public facilities that included street, sewer, water, storm drain, landscaping and park improvements that were required for and would permit the development of the properties within the District. The District is located east of Interstate 15 and is bordered by Foothill to the south, East to the east, Base Line to the north, Etiwanda to the west and is intersected by Miller.
On December 7, 2011, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 11-179 authorizing the issuance of special tax refunding bonds for this District. The Special Tax Refunding Bonds, Series 2012, in the principal amount of $658,000 were issued on December 21, 2011. This amount represented the outstanding principal balance of the original bonds as of this date.
On July 1, 2015, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 15-115 authorizing the issuance of special tax refunding bonds for this District in conjunction with various other community facilities districts. The Special Tax Refunding Bonds, Series 2015, were refunded with a total principal amount of $18,546,000 and were issued on July 30, 2015.
By authorizing this refunding, the City Council provided savings to the property owners for the remaining life of the bond issue, that translated to a 4.85% overall reduction in the annual debt service payment paid by property owners.
The annual special tax is based on the square footage of the home for residential properties.
This special tax shall be levied only so long as required for each parcel of taxable property to discharge bond obligations.

On December 7, 2011, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 11-179 authorizing the issuance of special tax refunding bonds for this District. The Special Tax Refunding Bonds, Series 2011, in the principal amount of $5,407,000 were issued on December 21, 2011. This amount represented the outstanding principal balance of the original bonds as of this date.
On July 1, 2015, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 15-115 authorizing the issuance of special tax refunding bonds for this District in conjunction with various other Community Facilities Districts. The Special Tax Refunding Bonds, Series 2015 were refunded with a total principal amount of $18,546,000 and were issued on July 30, 2015.
By authorizing this refunding, the City Council provided savings to the property owners for the remaining life of the bond issue, that translated to a 4.72% overall reduction in the annual debt service payment paid by property owners.
Each July 1, commencing July 1, 2012 the maximum annual special tax will be increased by two percent (2%) of the amount in effect for the previous fiscal year. The special taxes will be levied as follows: (1) The special tax will be levied on each taxable parcel in an amount equal to 100% of the applicable maximum annual special tax; or (2) If the special tax requirement will be satisfied by an amount less than the maximum annual special tax the special tax will be levied proportionately on each taxable parcel at less than 100% of the maximum annual special tax. Therefore, for Fiscal Year 2022/23 the current rate is sufficient to meet fiscal obligations and there is no need for an increase of the special tax by 2%. This special tax shall be levied only so long as required for each parcel of taxable property to discharge bond obligations.

BACKGROUND
On August 16, 2000, the City Council approved Resolution No. 00-149 and established Community Facilities District No. 2000-03B, (the “District”). On October 11, 2000, the qualified electors of the District, being the owners of the land within the District, voted to approve the levy of a special tax to pay for certain public services and the administering of such District. On July 6, 2005, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 744 approving the levy of the special tax and on September 21, 2005 approved Resolution No. 05-278 authorizing the issuance of bonds.
The District was authorized to finance park improvements, including, clearing and grading of park sites, park hardscape and restrooms, street improvements and parkway hardscape landscaping of parks and parkways and park equipment with a useful life of five (5) years or more. The District is bounded by the San Bernardino National Forest to the north, the 210 Freeway to the south, Interstate 15 Freeway to the east and East to the west.
Each fiscal year, all Taxable Property within the District shall be assigned to a Zone and further classified as Developed Property, Taxable Public Property, Taxable Property Owner Association Property, or Undeveloped Property and shall be subject to Special Taxes in accordance with this Amended and Restated Rate and Method of Apportionment. Residential Property shall be assigned to Land Use Classes 1 through 10 and Non-Residential Property shall be assigned to Land Use Class 11.
Annually on July 1, the Maximum Special Tax “B” shall be increased based on the percentage change in the Consumer Price Index, with a maximum annual increase of six percent (6%) and a minimum annual increase of two percent (2%) per Fiscal Year.
At this time, in order to provide sufficient revenues to meet the District expenses without adversely impacting maintenance, a rate increase to the Maximum Special Tax “B” is required. This equates to a 2.0% increase from the prior year.

BACKGROUND
On June 20, 2001, an election was held and the property owners within the boundary of Community Facilities District No. 2001-01 (Improvement Area Nos. 1 and 2) (the “District”) authorized the District to incur bonded indebtedness in the principal amount of $14,240,000. On August 15, 2001, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 01-019 authorizing the issuance of bonds.

EXHIBIT A
DESCRIPTION OF SERVICE
The properties within Drainage Area No. 91-2 (“Drainage Area”) are located within the boundaries of the Day Canyon Drainage Basin area. Protection of the properties within the Drainage Area from overland flows requires the construction of a 27+ acre-foot desilting basin and a 1,460+ linear foot concrete drainage channel. The channel improvements will intercept the overland flows prior to reaching the properties and carry the storm water runoff, sediment, trash, organic material and related debris to a desilting basin.
Each year the sediment, trash, organic material and other related debris that accumulates in the desilting basin and channel must be removed and transported to an approved spoils site. The services proposed to be financed from the revenue derived from the levy and collections of the annual benefit assessment are as follows:
A. Monthly on-site inspections of the desilting basin and channel.
B. Bi-monthly weed abatement program for the desilting basin and channel.
C. Removal of accumulated sediment, trash, organic material and other related debris from the desilting basin and channel to an approved spoils site. This service is expected to be provided annually. During times of excessive rainfall, this service may be required more frequently.

SUBJECT: Consideration to Adopt Resolution Approving a Memorandum of Understanding Between the City of Rancho Cucamonga and Teamsters Local 1932, Including Amending the Salary Schedule for the Fiscal Year 2022-23, and a Resolution Modifying Paying and Reporting the Value of Employer-Paid Member Contributions to CalPERS. (RESOLUTION NO. 2022-110) and (RESOLUTION NO. 2022-111), Respectively. (CITY) RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution approving a three-year memorandum of understanding between the City of Rancho Cucamonga and Teamsters Local 1932, including amending the salary schedule for the fiscal year 2022-23, and a resolution modifying paying and reporting the value of employer-paid member contribution (EPMC) to CalPERS.
BACKGROUND:
The City Council previously approved a two-year memorandum of understanding (MOU) between the City of Rancho Cucamonga and Teamsters Local 1932 (Teamsters), effective July 1, 2019, to June 30, 2021. In March 2021, the parties met and conferred in good faith and agreed to extend the term of the MOU for one year ending June 30, 2022.
In January 2022, the City and Teamsters began negotiations for the successor MOU. After meeting and conferring in good faith, the City and Teamsters came to a tentative agreement in June 2022. Teamsters voted to approve the negotiated terms on June 30, 2022.
ANALYSIS:
The parties agreed to a three-year memorandum of understanding, and agreed to:
5% cost of living adjustment (COLA) effective the first full pay period in July 2022 and 2% COLA effective the first full pay period in July 2023. In addition, effective October 2023, the City will evaluate the current survey cities and meet and confer on any proposed changes to the survey cities.
The parties also agreed to meet and confer regarding the salary survey in January 2024.
A discussion will focus on any positions that are below market.
1 3
9 0
Represented employees pay the remaining 3% of the employer-paid member contribution (EMPC) effective the first full period in October 2022. With the implementation of this change, all EPMC will be eliminated for this bargaining group; group members will then be paying the full employee share towards their CalPERS pension benefit. $125 per month increase towards medical insurance effective the second full pay period in December 2022
$300 per month cash-in-lieu payment beginning in January 2023 for employees who opt out of medical insurance and meet ACA requirements
Replace annual performance review with a professional development plan and coaching sessions
Addition of Sick leave buyback and early retirement notification incentive; additional 40 hours of Bereavement Leave and Natal and Adoption Leave; addition of constructive receipt language for vacation buyback; direct deposit requirement for new employees. Addition of Class “A” driver’s license stipend
Addition of the City’s ability to recover certain professional development costs upon separation under certain circumstances
Staff recommends the City Council adopt the attached resolution approving the three-year MOU between the City and Teamsters, including amending the salary schedule for the Fiscal Year 2022-23.
In addition, staff recommends the City Council adopt the attached resolution modifying paying and reporting the value of EPMC to CalPERS for both the Teamsters and Rancho Cucamonga City Employee Association (RCCEA). Although EPMC modifications have been incorporated in the respective MOU’s for both groups, they must also be adopted by Resolution in accordance with CalPERS regulations.
Upon approval of this agreement by the City Council, the MOU would be effective from July 1, 2022, to June 30, 2025.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The negotiated MOU has a year one cost of $351,800, with an additional $511,690 in year two, and at least $517,690 in year three. The fiscal impact for year three may change based on the agreement to meet and confer in January 2024 regarding any positions that are below market.
COUNCIL MISSION / VISION / GOAL(S) ADDRESSED:

ATTACHMENT 2
2 MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING (MOU)
BETWEEN THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA
AND TEAMSTERS LOCAL 1932 (Teamsters)
SECTION 1: RECOGNITION
The City of Rancho Cucamonga recognizes the Teamsters Local 1932 (Teamsters) as the recognized employee organization for City employees in the Maintenance Bargaining Unit, comprised of the following classifications:
Maintenance Worker Senior Maintenance Worker
Lead Maintenance Worker Lead Mechanic
Mechanic Electrician
Equipment Operator Signal and Lighting Technician
Signal and Lighting Coordinator Inventory Specialist
Maintenance Coordinator
SECTION 2: COST OF LIVING ADJUSTMENT
Effective the first full pay period in July 2022, all Teamsters covered employees will receive a 5% Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA).
Effective the first full pay period in July 2023, all Teamsters covered employees will receive a 2% Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA).
Effective January 2024, the City will meet and confer with Teamsters Local 1932 regarding the salary survey as described in Section 4. The discussion will focus on any positions that are below market.
SECTION 3: SALARY STRUCTURE
As of the effective date of the MOU, all employees will be assigned to salary ranges which are no less than 20% (40 salary code steps) below the control point and no more than 10% (20 salary code steps) above the control point. Actual salary within the range is determined by performance, achievement of goals and objectives, or for recent appointments, growth within the position.
SECTION 4: SALARY SURVEY
The City shall conduct a salary survey of labor market cities approximately six months before the start of new labor negotiations for the next MOU.
Effective October 2023, the City will evaluate the current survey cities and meet and confer on any proposed changes to the survey cities.
Subsequently, the City will conduct a compensation survey of all covered classifications using the City’s current survey methodology (salary and salary plus medical and EPMC). Positions with four or less comparable positions shall be benchmarked to another Teamsters position.
3 SECTION 5: PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN
The annual performance review shall be replaced with a professional development plan and at least two (2) ongoing coaching check-ins a year. The City will form a committee of all bargaining groups who have agreed to change from an annual performance evaluation to an annual professional development plan effective July 1, 2022. The committee will review the form(s) and processes not defined here for employees and their supervisors to develop the annual plan.
Training, as well as handouts, will be provided to employees and supervisors to assist with the professional development plan and yearly coaching conversations. The City will review the form(s) and process with this committee at least every three years to assure their usefulness for employees and supervisors.
Teamsters Local 1932 covered employees on or starting a probationary period would be eligible to receive up to 5% through the term of their probationary period per the Personnel Rules, and would then be eligible for the merit increase in the next development plan cycle as long as the probationary period was completed before the end of November (ex. An employee whose probationary period ended in March through November would be eligible for the upcoming February increase. An employee whose probationary period ended December to February would have to wait for the following February for another increase.) Each November, employees and their supervisors will work together to develop the Professional Development Plan which must be completed by the employee and supervisor by the end of the second full week in December of every year.
Plan Timeline:
First and second week of November – employees fill out their “My Action Plan.” Third and Fourth week of November -employees and supervisors work together on the Plan, and supervisors review the plans with their managers or who their department determines.
Remainder of November through second week of December – Supervisors finalize the Plan taking into account any input which their supervisors provided and go over the Plan with the employee before submittal.
Upon submission of the completed Plan in December (as outlined in the timeline above), employees not at top step are eligible for a merit increase of 5% but no greater than top step. The change will be reflected in the first full pay period the following February. There is no retroactivity for plans where the employee portion is not timely submitted. If, due to unforeseen circumstances where the employee is unable to timely submit the employee portion, the City agrees to provide additional time and/or resources as is necessary. Employees on a performance improvement plan as of December will not be eligible for a merit increase. All performance improvement plans will be reviewed in November. The current performance evaluation system will end June 30, 2022, with any increase from then on being part of this new once a year system.
If any employees below top step have overdue evaluations as of June 30, 2022, they will automatically receive a 5% merit increase for any outstanding evaluation backdated to when the evaluation was due. These automatic merit increases cannot exceed top step of the employee’s salary ranges.
4 SECTION 6: LIFE INSURANCE
The City provides $30,000 base coverage of life insurance for all employees. Employees who want to purchase additional life insurance coverage with personal funds may do so at the City’s group rate.
SECTION 7: HEALTH INSURANCE
A. Health Insurance Contribution
Effective the first full pay period in July 2020, the City shall provide employee and family insurance for all existing full-time continuous salaried employees within the bargaining group, subject to limitation that no such monthly funding by the City shall exceed $1,175 per month.
Effective the second full pay period in December 2022, the City contribution shall increase to $1,300 per month.
B Cash In-Lieu Payment
Beginning in 2023 represented employees may waive coverage under a City-paid medical insurance plan and receive a $300 per month cash-in-lieu payment if they meet ACA requirements.
To be eligible, an employee must provide the following:
(1) proof that the employee and all individuals for whom the employee intends to claim a personal exemption deduction for the taxable year or years that begin or end in or with the City’s plan year to which the opt-out applies (“tax family”), have or will have minimum essential coverage through another source (other than coverage in the individual market, whether or not obtained through Covered California) for the plan year to which the opt- out arrangement applies (“opt-out period”); and
(2) the employee must sign an attestation that the employee and his/her tax family have or will have such minimum essential coverage for the opt-out period. An employee must sign an attestation every plan year at open enrollment or within 30 days after the start of the plan year. The opt-out payment cannot be made, and the City will not, in fact, make payment if the employer knows that the employee or tax family member does not have such alternative coverage, or if conditions in this paragraph are not otherwise satisfied.
C Affordable Care Act Reopener
The Teamsters or City may reopen negotiations on the issue of health insurance benefits to address changes to or the elimination of the ACA and in order to avoid penalties or taxes under the ACA or other statutory scheme that may result from an interpretation of the ACA or other statutory scheme by the Internal Revenue Service or other federal agency (including, but not limited to, a revenue ruling, regulation or other guidance) or state agency, or a ruling by a court of competent jurisdiction. These negotiations will not result in a reduction or increase in the amount the City provides for employee health coverage.
5 SECTION 8: RETIREE MEDICAL
Subject to the conditions stated below, effective upon a service or disability retirement from City service at or beyond age 55 with 10 consecutive years of City service at the time of retirement, retirees shall be eligible to 100% personally fund, without any City contribution, participation in a group health insurance program(s) which is making group health insurance available to the City’s retirees.
It is agreed and acknowledged by the parties to this MOU that no representation is or can be made by the City, that such group retiree health insurance is available, or if available, will remain available for any specific future period of time.
If no such group health insurance is reasonably available, or if the private carrier(s) terminates such coverage as to the retiree group or any individual group member, the City shall have no obligation/duty to self-fund or otherwise provide insurance or replacement insurance.
All premiums for the retiree and/or eligible dependents shall be borne by the retiree. The City shall advance and submit the necessary premiums to the carrier(s), subject to the retiree reimbursing the City not later than 30 calendar days after City payment of the premium. Failure to timely reimburse the City shall result in no further premium payments being made by the City, resulting in termination of insurance coverage.
The City’s duty to advance said premiums shall terminate at age 65 of the retiree, regardless of whether or not the retiree is eligible for Medicare. City shall advise the group carrier of the insured’s status as a retiree. Coverage eligibility shall then be solely determined by the group insurance carrier(s).
It is likely that premium rates for retirees and/or dependents shall be greater than rates for employees. Regardless, retirees shall pay 100% of said rates.
If at any time, it is determined by any group health insurance carrier that the City is prohibited from seeking premium reimbursement from a retiree, City affiliation and retiree enrollment in said group insurance plan shall immediately terminate upon rendering of the insurance carrier’s decision. In such case, no retiree shall seek reimbursement from the City for any prior premiums paid by the retiree to the City as and for premium reimbursement.
SECTION 9: RETIREMENT BENEFIT
Unit members who do not meet the definition of “new member” under the California Public Employees’ Pension Reform Act of 2013 (PEPRA) (those unit members shall be referred to as “classic members”) are enrolled in either the CalPERS retirement plan commonly referred to as the 2.5% at age 55 retirement plan (“Tier 1” and “Tier 2”), or in the 2% at age 55 retirement plan (“Tier 3”) and shall be provided the benefits as described below:

A. In the first year of the MOU, as this new cap is implemented, existing employees who at the end of the calendar year have vacation hours accrued that exceed 1040 hours will make an irrevocable decision before the end of the 2019 calendar year as to whether they want the overage distributed via cash or deferred compensation, or if they will maintain their current accrued vacation hours in excess of 1040 in a separate one-time bank, which will be treated as any other vacation. If the employee selects payment or distribution, the payment or distribution will occur in April of 2020.
B. Beginning in 2020, any hours accrued over 1040 hours as of the end of each calendar year will be cashed out via check or deferred compensation. Employees will make an irrevocable decision by the end of the calendar year as to the cash-out method, and the payment or distribution will occur in April of the following calendar year.
SECTION 19: VACATION BUYBACK
Annually, any employee that wants to have the City buyback vacation hours shall make an irrevocable election to do so. The irrevocable election shall be submitted in writing to the City’s Human Resources Department on or before December 15 and shall indicate the number of hours of vacation that the employee expects to earn in the following calendar year that the employee wants the City to buy back, with a minimum buyback of 20 hours up to a maximum of 160 hours.

Regardless of the number of hours requested to be cashed out at either time, the most the City can cash out is the number of hours accrued and available in that calendar year to
12 date. Employees must maintain a minimum of 40 hours of accrued vacation subsequent to any payment of vacation buyback time.

If employees provide an early notification of their intention to retire from the City, the City will pay employees for additional non-cumulative accrued sick leave hours in accordance with the schedule below. Notifications must be given in writing to Human Resources in the form of an irrevocable letter of resignation with intent to retire.
13 Notification of at least six months (180 calendar days*) – 75 hours additional sick leave buyback.

SECTION 22: HOLIDAYS
The City Offices shall observe the following fourteen (14) holidays. All full-time continuous salaried employees shall be compensated at their regular rate for these days. (1) July 4 Independence Day
(2) First Monday of September Labor Day
(3) November 11 Veteran’s Day
(4) Fourth Thursday of November Thanksgiving Day
(5) Day Following Thanksgiving Floater
(6) December 24 Day preceding Christmas (Floater)
(7) December 25 Christmas Day
(8) January 1 New Year’s Day
(9) Third Monday of January Martin Luther King’s Birthday (10) Third Monday of February President’s Day
(11) Last Monday of May Memorial Day
(12 – 14) Three discretionary days may be taken by employee at his/her convenience after six months service subject to approval of the department head. Days may not be carried over from one fiscal year to the next. Whenever a holiday falls on a Sunday, the following Monday shall be observed as a holiday. Whenever a holiday falls on a Friday or Saturday, the preceding Thursday shall be observed as the holiday. When a holiday combination occurs (Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc.) where two consecutive days are holidays and it would result in the City Hall being open to serve the public only 2 days during the week, only one of the holidays will be observed and the other holiday will become a floating holiday. For example, for Thanksgiving, Thursday will be observed as the regular holiday; however, Friday will become a floating holiday to be used at a later date.
For Christmas, Wednesday will be observed as the regular holiday; however, Tuesday (the day preceding Christmas) will become a floating holiday to be used at a later date. In the instance of Thanksgiving, Christmas, or New Year’s, employees will have until June 30 to use those floating holidays accrued between Thanksgiving and New Year’s. Also, those days will not accrue as floating holidays until the actual holiday has occurred. Each year the City will designate which days will be observed and which are floating holidays. Employees within the bargaining unit who are eligible to bank a holiday have until June 30 (end of fiscal year) to use the banked holiday earned from July 1 through April 30. Any holiday banked in May and June, employees have until September 30 to use the banked holiday.
SECTION 23: HOLIDAY TIME
The City agrees that employees within the bargaining unit who are assigned to work on a holiday, whether or not their regular shift assignment requires they work that day, are eligible for pay at
14 time and one-half for working that day. This time and one-half may be taken as compensation or put in a compensatory time off bank, (in effect, compensating at double time and one-half). That rate of compensation is tallied as follows: the ten (10) hours compensation for the holiday, plus compensation at time and one-half for the hours actually worked. This payment at time and one- half abrogates the employee’s right to that holiday.
SECTION 24: PREMIUM HOLIDAY COMPENSATION
Bargaining unit employees required as part of the regular work assignment to work on Christmas Day, New Year’s Day, Independence Day or Thanksgiving Day, are allowed to observe the holiday on another day. Additionally, these employees who work on the aforementioned designated holidays may select to receive compensation on that holiday at time and one-half for the ten-hour shift or take a second holiday as time off at a later date.
SECTION 25: HOLIDAY FACILITY CLOSURE
During the term of this MOU, there will be Holiday Facility closures, and certain City facilities may close in conjunction with the Christmas and New Year’s holidays. Closure dates for City facilities shall be determined by the City in order to balance the impact on public services. The City will strive to provide a schedule on Holiday Facility closures at least six months or more in advance of the closure.
During a holiday closure, affected represented employees may take paid leave from holiday, compensatory time, vacation accruals, or use unpaid leave. When holiday closures are implemented by the City, Section 20’s provision regarding consecutive holidays shall not apply.
SECTION 26: NATAL AND ADOPTION LEAVE WITHOUT PAY
A. With Pay
Employees within the bargaining unit are granted up to 80 hours of natal and adoption leave with pay for the birth or adoption of a child, however, use of the 80 paid hours does not extend any time charged under FMLA or CFRA. Any paid time required beyond this initial 80 hours must be charged to sick leave, vacation, compensatory or floating holiday time.
Effective the first full pay period in July 2022, employees are eligible for an additional 40 hours of paid Natal and Adoption leave for a total of 120 hours. This is part of and does not add to leave time allowed by Federal or State leaves.
B. Without Pay
The City shall provide employees within the bargaining unit up to four months natal and adoption leave for the birth or adoption of a child including the paid leave as outlined above; such leave shall be pursuant to the provisions of the California Pregnancy Disability Act (“PDA”; California Government Code Section12945), if applicable. The City’s PDA policy is incorporated herein by reference. Employees on this leave of absence without pay beyond the four-month period will be responsible for the payment of medical, dental and optical premiums to keep the coverage in force during the leave of absence.
15 SECTION 27: WORKERS COMPENSATION LEAVE
Any employee within the bargaining unit covered herein who is receiving disability payments under the “Workers Compensation Act of California” for on-the-job injuries sustained while engaged in the performance of duties of any such City position, shall receive from the City during the first three months of such disability absence, payments in an amount equal to the difference between the disability payments received under Workers Compensation Act and employee’s full salary. Such payments by the City should be made without any deduction from accrued sick leave benefits. The City’s obligation for such payments shall commence on the first (1 st) day of such disability absence. In the event the employee’s disability absence should exceed three months, an employee shall be allowed to supplement the Workers Compensation benefit received under State law with available accrued sick leave, accrued vacation leave or accrued compensatory time. The total number of leave hours, along with the Workers Compensation benefit, shall not exceed the employee’s base pay for each day of the leave. For this purpose, accrued leave hours can only be used in one-hour increments.
SECTION 28: MILITARY LEAVE
Employees within the bargaining unit required to serve military leave will be compensated pursuant to the Military and Veterans Code. Finance may require military pay information in order to calculate a qualified employee’s pay.
SECTION 29: MILITARY SERVICE BUY BACK
Employees within the bargaining unit have the option for military service buyback at the employee’s expense.
SECTION 30: OVERTIME
A. Maintenance Bargaining Unit
The City agrees that employees within the bargaining unit who are, due to health and safety reasons, sent home to rest and to be available to work additional hours as a result of a storm or impending emergency situation and are not subsequently recalled to work, will be compensated for the hours not worked in that shift, due to them having been sent home, to bring the total hours to 10 worked in that shift.
Employees within the bargaining unit who are subsequently recalled to work the storm or emergency situation will work no more than 12 consecutive hours, due to health and safety reasons. Any hours worked in excess of 10 in that 12-hour shift will be paid at time and one-half, regardless of the total number of compensated hours for that week.
Employees within the bargaining unit, who have already worked forty (40) hours in a work week, may request time off in order to avoid payment of overtime. It is at the discretion of the supervisor to approve that request.
B. Overtime Calculation
For the purpose of overtime calculations, Vacation Leave, Holiday leave, and Comp Time shall be considered hours worked. Overtime is compensated at 1.5 times the employee’s
16 Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) regular rate of pay. Only hours worked as defined here shall be considered for the purpose of calculating the FLSA overtime pay.
SECTION 31: COMPENSATORY TIME
Employees may choose to earn compensatory time (comp time or CTO) in lieu of payment for overtime, if approved by a supervisor, in accordance with the following provisions:
1. HHW/Used Oil Program Comp Time:
A. Employees can request and be approved for comp time for work at the HHWF facility if they code their timecard to the appropriate HHWF account number (see Finance for directions). Comp time earned for working at the HHWF must be exhausted first as the employee uses comp time. Use of this HHWF comp time must also be properly coded on the employee’s time card (see Finance for directions). The maximum amount of comp time that an employee may accrue pursuant to this section is 80 hours.
Employees will be paid out by the last pay period in June for all HHWF comp time unused as of June 1 of each year; they will be paid out by the last pay period in December for all HHWF comp time unused as of December 1. No comp time pursuant to this section may be accrued in December of any calendar year.
B. Employees working at the HHW and being paid out of the Used Oil Recycling Program overtime account can only receive overtime payments for that work.
2. All other Comp Time:
An employee that works overtime between January 1 – November 30 of each calendar year may decide to accrue compensatory time off (CTO) at 1.5 times the number of overtime hours worked instead of receiving immediate payment for overtime worked. The maximum CTO that an employee may accrue is 150 hours. Once an employee reaches that accrual cap, all additional overtime worked in that calendar year shall be paid.
Employees may use CTO as time off during the calendar year, subject to supervisor approval. Supervisors shall not unreasonably withhold approval for use of accrued CTO, and the need to replace the employee using CTO with another employee on overtime shall not be the basis for denying a requested use of CTO. Any CTO that is earned between January 1-November 30 of a calendar year that is not used as time off before November 30, minus any comp time the employee plans to use during the holiday closure dates in that same year, shall be cashed out with the last paycheck distributed in the calendar year.
Overtime worked during December of a calendar year shall not be eligible for CTO.
SECTION 32: ON-CALL PAY
On-call assignments and requirements for employees assigned to being on call will be determined by the Department Head or designee(s). Employees within the bargaining unit required to be on- call shall be compensated at the rate of $275.00 per week. On-Call employees who field calls, dispatch other employees, or do other work directly related to being on call should report hours worked to the closest 1/4 hour on their timecard.
17 SECTION 33: CALL BACK PAY (non-exempt)
A. If an employee is required to be called back to work after completing his or her normal shift or after having left City premises or the employee’s work location, the employee shall be compensated at the appropriate rate for each hour worked on call back with a minimum of two (2) hours call back compensation at the appropriate rate, regardless of whether the employee actually works less than two (2) hours. This provision shall be applicable to employees although the employee’s regular work week is not completed but shall not apply to employees who are continuing on duty for their normal work shift. The time starts when the callback call is received by the employee. Employees must arrive at the worksite and perform the work required in order to receive call-back pay.
B. When an employee is called on his/her day off or after hours for work purposes, the employee shall be compensated at the overtime rate or in comp time for the actual time worked, rounded to the nearest quarter hour (.25).

There shall be no change in the current voucher method of funding these footwear items/accessories.
The City may provide uniforms (including shirts) and/or maintenance of uniforms for all positions covered under this MOU.
The City reports CalPERS on an annual basis, the actual value of compensation paid or the monetary value for the purchase, rental and/or maintenance of required clothing for Teamsters covered CalPERS’ Classic Members. The parties analyzed the value and determined it shall not exceed $710.00 per fiscal year. The parties agree that to the extent permitted by law, this is special compensation and shall be reported as such pursuant to Title 2CCR, Section 571(a)(5)
18 Statutory Items. The parties also agree that the City has no additional obligation or costs should CalPERS, the State or the IRS determine otherwise.
SECTION 38: TUITION REIMBURSEMENT FOR APPROVED COLLEGE AND UNIVERSITY
COURSES
Reimbursements by the City of the following enumerated college and/or university course expenses shall not exceed two thousand three hundred dollars ($2,300.00) during any fiscal year.
Eligibility for said reimbursement in an amount not to exceed $2,300.00 in any one fiscal year shall be contingent upon a determination by the employee’s department head or his designee that all the following conditions precedent exists:
A. Expenses shall be incurred for coursework undertaken at a college or university that is licensed/accredited by one of the six regional accreditors involved in higher education accreditation in the United States.
B. The applicant for reimbursement shall represent to the Human Resources Department documentation prepared by the accredited/licensed college or university which evidences the applicant’s receipt of a grade “C” or “pass” in a pass/fail class. As regards each class for which reimbursement is sought (where an employee is simultaneously enrolled in multiple approved classes and does not receive a “C” or “pass” in any one or more of such classes, the amount of expenses subject to City’s reimbursement shall be reduced and/or as appropriate, pro-rated to reflect no reimbursement being made for expenses related to classes where the minimal grade was not received).
C. Eligibility for reimbursement for said expenses shall be confined to either: 1) those courses that in and of themselves consist of curriculum which is predominately related to the development of skills reasonably anticipated by the City to enhance the applicant’s job performance (by means of a non-inclusive example only, art classes would not qualify for reimbursement); or 2) where the employee has declared a major that is job-related as set forth in this section C, to those classes which must be completed as a condition precedent to successful completion of the course of study in the selected major.
D. Eligibility for reimbursement upon completion of coursework shall be predicated upon the employee’s department head or his designee, making a written determination prior to the affected employee’s enrollment in the course(s) for which reimbursement is later sought, that the coursework is offered by an accredited college or university and that the above- described job nexus does exist. The determination of the Department Head or his designee in such regards shall be final.
E. The costs which shall be subject to reimbursement are limited to the following: 1) tuition; 2) books; 3) supplies; 4) parking; and 5) laboratory.

BACKGROUND:
The City Council has before it a proposed Resolution of Necessity for the acquisition by eminent domain of certain real property interests in connection with the City’s Etiwanda Grade Separation Project (“Project”).
The Project requires the acquisition of additional right of way for grade separation. The Project involves the widening and construction of Etiwanda Avenue as a four-lane grade-separated roadway over the Southern California Regional Rail Authority (“SCRRA”)/Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Railroad (“BNSF”) San Gabriel subdivision, currently a two-lane at-grade crossing. The Project will construct an overhead crossing, utilizing walls and embankments to support the raised approaching roadway. It will span the railroad right-of-way and provide access to adjacent properties. The Project will widen Etiwanda Avenue to four traffic lanes including a painted median/left turn lane with bike lanes and sidewalks on each side and a northbound right turn lane onto Whittram Avenue. When completed in 2025, the Project will reduce vehicle and truck delays, as well as queuing. It will improve mobility, safety, and level of service at the crossing, and it will provide for safe transit of pedestrians, bicyclists, vehicles, trucks, and trains. Furthermore, the Project will provide improved response times in the area for first responders such as police officers, firefighters, paramedics, and emergency medical technicians. All work is consistent with the City’s General Plan of Circulation. The Plans for the Project are on file with the Engineering Services Department and are incorporated herein by this reference.
The Project requires the acquisition of the Subject Property Interests for grade separation, and related purposes, and all uses necessary or convenient thereto.
On May 4, 2022, the City of Rancho Cucamonga and the County of San Bernardino entered into an agreement allowing for the exercise of joint powers for the purpose of acquiring the Subject Property Interests located in unincorporated San Bernardino County for Project (“Joint Powers Agreement”). The Joint Powers Agreement authorizes the City to take all necessary and convenient steps to acquire the Subject Property Interests for the Project, including, without limitation, by purchase, lease, gift, devise, or the exercise of eminent domain.

The City has attempted to negotiate in good faith with the owner to acquire the above-described Subject Property Interests. The City has been unable to reach a negotiated acquisition with the owner of the Subject Property Interests. Based on the timing of the Project, it is necessary that the City consider the proposed Resolution of Necessity at this time.
ANALYSIS:
The City seeks to acquire the Subject Property Interests for public use, namely grade separation and related purposes, and all uses necessary or convenient thereto in connection with the Project.
The City seeks to construct the Project to improve circulation, mobility, and vehicle and rail safety.
The Project’s goal of converting into a grade-separated corridor the portion of Etiwanda Avenue that crosses with the SCRRA railroad, is identified in the City’s General Plan.
The Project was planned and located to minimize the impact on the adjacent properties. Because of its scope, the Project requires the acquisition of numerous permanent easements and temporary construction easements over portions of several larger parcels, as well as fee interests in two parcels, owned by private property owners. The construction of the Project will require some business/residential relocations. The City will coordinate construction with the owners of the Subject Property Interests to minimize the impact of the Project on the parcels, and to assist those persons and businesses displaced by the Project. Based on the timing of the Project, it is necessary that the City consider the acquisition by eminent domain of the required Subject Property Interests.
The City seeks to acquire the Subject Property Interests for public use, namely grade separation and related purposes, and all uses necessary or convenient thereto in connection with the Project pursuant to the authority to acquire real property by eminent domain conferred on the City of Rancho Cucamonga by Section 19 of Article 1 of the California Constitution, Government Code Sections 37350, 37350.5, 37351, 40401, and 40404, California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1230.010 et seq. (Eminent Domain Law), including but not limited to Sections 1240.010, 1240.020, 1240.110, 1240.120, 1240.150, 1240.510, 1240.610, 1240.650, and by other provisions of law.
For the reasons set forth above, the construction of the Project is in the public interest and necessity and is needed to improve circulation, mobility, and vehicle and rail safety.
Required Findings for Adoption of Resolution of Necessity Authorizing the Acquisition of the Subject Property Interests by Eminent Domain
In order to adopt the proposed Resolution of Necessity for the acquisition by eminent domain of the Subject Property Interests, the City Council must find and determine, that:
A. The public interest and necessity require the Project; B. The Project is planned and located in the manner that will be most compatible with the greatest public good and the least private injury;
C. The Subject Property Interests described in the Resolution of Necessity are necessary for the Project; and
D. The City has made an offer as required by Government Code Section 7267.2 to the owner of record of the real property interests it seeks to acquire.

The amount of just compensation is not an issue before the City Council at this hearing. The hearing relates to issues A, B, C, and D above. The amount of just compensation would be determined in the eminent domain proceedings that would be filed if the City Council, in its sole discretion, adopts the proposed Resolution of Necessity.
Environmental Analysis
The environmental effects of the Project were studied and analyzed pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq., and the CEQA Guidelines, 14 Cal. Code Regs. Section 15000 et seq. (“CEQA Guidelines”). City Staff determined that the Project was statutorily exempt pursuant to CEQA Article 18. Statutory Exemptions, Section 15282. Other Statutory Exemptions, paragraph (g):
Any railroad grade separation project which eliminates an existing grade crossing or which reconstructs an existing grade separation as set forth in Section 21080.13 of the Public Resources Code.
On June 6, 2018, the City Council approved the Notice of Exemption and authorized Staff to file the Notice of Exemption with the Office of Planning and Research and the County clerk as specified in Section 21080.13(2) of the Public Resources Code. The City duly filed the Notice of Exemption with the Office of Planning and Research and with the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors, County of San Bernardino on or about June 11, 2018, in accordance with the statutory requirements.
In connection with the proposed Resolution of Necessity, on July 20, 2022, City Staff reviewed the environmental documentation prepared in connection with the Project. Pursuant to the criteria of Section 15162 of the CEQA Guidelines and Section 21166 of the Public Resources Code, City Staff concluded that no substantial changes have occurred in the Project, no substantial changes have occurred in the circumstances under which the Project is undertaken, and the City has obtained no new information of substantial importance that would require further environmental analysis. These environmental findings are the appropriate findings with respect to the proposed acquisition of the Subject Property Interests.
City’s Actions Pursuant to Government Code Section 7260 et seq.
Pursuant to Government Code Section 7260 et seq., the City of Rancho Cucamonga obtained a fair market value appraisal of the Subject Property Interests and the larger parcel of which the Subject Property Interests are a part, set just compensation in accordance with the appraised fair market value, and extended a written offer to the owner of record. The City negotiated in good faith with the owner of record. As of the date of this Staff Report; however, the parties have not reached a negotiated agreement. Based on the timing of the Project, it is necessary that the City consider the adoption of the Resolution of Necessity at this time.
Following is a summary of the actions taken by the City pursuant to Government Code Section 7260 et seq.
9333 Etiwanda Avenue, APN 0229-291-23 (SCE Parcel)
Pursuant to Government Code Section 7260 et seq., the City of Rancho Cucamonga obtained a fair market value appraisal of the SCE Parcel, the approximate 45 square foot

permanent easement, the approximate 686 square foot temporary construction easement with a term of twelve (12) months, and the approximate 11 square foot temporary construction easement with a term of twelve (12) months the City seeks to acquire for public use, namely grade separation purposes. The City set just compensation in accordance with the appraised fair market value, and extended a written offer to Southern California Edison Company, the owner of record, on February 28, 2022. The fair market value appraisal used a date of value of July 16, 2021.
The City’s written offer included an informational pamphlet describing the eminent domain process and the record owner’s rights under the Eminent Domain Law. In accordance with Government Code Section 7267.2, the City’s written offer contained a written statement of, and summary of the basis for, the amount it established as just compensation. The offer set forth the date of value utilized by the appraiser and explained the appraiser’s opinion of the highest and best use of the larger parcel. It explained the applicable zoning designation of the larger parcel. The City’s offer also summarized the principal transactions relied on by the appraiser to arrive at the appraiser’s opinion of value. In addition, the written offer explained the appraiser’s valuation analysis, including property improvements and severance damages. It also included the City’s comparable market data relied on by the appraiser. Further, the City offered, pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Section 1263.025, to pay the record owner the reasonable costs, up to $5,000.00, for an independent appraisal of the Subject Property Interests.
The City made several attempts to follow up and negotiate with the owner regarding the City’s offer. Based on the timing of the Project, it is necessary for the City Council to consider the adoption of the proposed Resolution of Necessity authorizing the acquisition by eminent domain of the Subject Property Interests needed from the SCE Parcel.
City’s Actions Pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Section 1245.235 Pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Section 1245.235, the City sent a letter and a notice by first- class mail dated June 30, 2022, to the record owner of the Subject Property Interests the City seeks to acquire, informing it of the City’s intent to consider at its July 20, 2022 meeting, the adoption of a resolution of necessity for the acquisition by eminent domain of the Subject Property Interests.
The notice advised the record owner of its right to appear and be heard regarding the City’s proposed adoption of the Resolution of Necessity by filing with the City, within fifteen days of the date the notice was mailed, a written request to appear at the hearing. The notice specifically informed the record owner of the Subject Property Interests that it has an opportunity to appear before the City Council and raise questions about whether the public interest and necessity require the Project; whether the Project is planned or located in the manner that will be most compatible with the greatest public good and the least private injury; and whether the Subject Property Interests the City seeks to acquire from the owner of record is necessary for the Project.
As discussed above, based on the proposed timing of the Project, it is necessary for the City Council to consider the adoption of the proposed Resolution of Necessity at this time.
This hearing relates to issues A, B, C, and D below.
REQUIRED FINDINGS FOR ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION OF NECESSITY A. The Public Interest and Necessity Require the Project
1 4
0 2
The Project, as planned and designed, is in the public interest and necessity and is needed to improve vehicle and rail safety, traffic mobility, and surface transportation. The Project requires the acquisition of additional right of way for grade separation and related purposes. The Project will widen the portion of Etiwanda Avenue from Napa Street to Whittram Avenue to a four-lane grade-separated roadway over the SCRRA/BNSF San Gabriel subdivision, which is currently a two-lane at-grade crossing. The Project will construct an overhead crossing, utilizing walls and embankments to support the raised approaching roadway. It will span the railroad right-of-way and provide access to adjacent properties. The Project includes the addition of a painted median/left turn lane with bike lanes and sidewalks on each side, and a northbound right turn lane onto Whittram Avenue.
When completed in 2025, the Project will reduce vehicle and truck delays, as well as queuing. It will improve mobility, safety, and level of service at the crossing, and it will provide for the safe transit of pedestrians, bicyclists, vehicles, trucks, and trains.
Furthermore, the Project will provide for improved response times in the area for first responders such as police officers, firefighters, paramedics, and emergency medical technicians. Accordingly, the Project will benefit local residents and businesses, and the community as a whole. The Plans for the Project are on file with the Engineering Services Department and are incorporated herein by this reference.
The Project, as planned and designed, is consistent with the Circulation Element of the General Plan, which designated Etiwanda Avenue as a four-lane major arterial road.
Anticipating the future growth of the SCRRA/BNSF corridor, the City’s General Plan identified this area to be grade-separated. The City seeks to acquire the Subject Property Interests for public use, namely grade separation and related purposes, and all uses necessary or convenient thereto in connection with the Project. The City seeks to construct the Project to improve mobility, safety, and level of service at the crossing.
The Project was planned and located to minimize the impact on adjacent properties.
Because of its scope, the Project requires the acquisition of numerous permanent easements and temporary construction easements over portions of several larger parcels, as well as fee interests in two parcels, owned by private property owners. The construction of the Project will require some business/residential relocations. The City will coordinate the construction with the owners of the Subject Property Interests to minimize the impact of the Project on the parcels, and to assist those persons and businesses displaced by the Project. Based on the timing of the Project, it is necessary that the City consider the acquisition by eminent domain of the required Subject Property Interests.
The public use for which the City seeks to acquire the Subject Property Interests, namely grade separation and related purposes, and all uses necessary or convenient thereto, will not unreasonably interfere with or impair the continuance of the public use for which any easement holders may have appropriated the area (Code of Civil Procedure Section 1240.510). Further, the Project may require the relocation of several utilities to the new right-of-way area. The public use for which the City seeks to acquire the Subject Property Interests, namely grade separation and related purposes, and all uses necessary or convenient thereto, is a more necessary public use, within the meaning of Code of Civil Procedure Section 1240.650, than the uses for which public utility easement holders have appropriated any utility easements located on or within the area of the Subject Property Interests. Accordingly, the City is authorized to acquire the Subject Property Interests pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Sections 1240.510, 1240.610, and 1240.650.
