CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO REDDING PLANNING COMMISSION
Recommendation
Conduct a public hearing and, upon conclusion, recommend that the City Council adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration and approve the Live Oak Estates Subdivision and Planned Development project consisting of Tentative Subdivision Map Application S- 2017- 00239, Planned Development Plan Application PD-2017-00241, and Rezoning Application RZ-2017- 00240.

Project Description
Planned Development Subdivision. Omni Financial is requesting approval to subdivide approximately eight acres into 26 multiple-family residential lots in three phases for development of 64 multiple- family units. Phase 1 and 2 consist of 20 lots total to be developed with a two-family dwelling unit (duplex) on each lot for a total of 40 units. Phase 3 consists of six lots to be developed with a four- plex on each lot for a total of 24 unit s. Duplex units are a mix of two- and three-bedroom units with either one- or two-car garages. Amenities include common landscape throughout the development and two group gathering areas with walking paths, benches, and picnic or barbeque improvements. A property owners’ association would be formed to address common ownership and maintenance needs.

Rezoning. The project site is zoned “ RM-12” Residential Multiple Family District. The application includes a rezoning request to add the “ PD” Planned Development Overlay District to the property. The subdivision would be developed under a Planned Development Plan in accordance with Chapter 18.53 of the Zoning Code to allow construction of the project with MEETING DATE: March 27, 2018

reduced lot sizes and public street frontages, custom-lot configuration, and reduced building setbacks.

PARCEL SIZE Two parcels totaling eight acres.

TERRAIN/ VEGETATION The property is relatively flat along Old Alturas Road to gently sloping in the northwest corner of the property with topography ranging from 555 feet above mean sea level ( msl) to 615 msl. The site is characterized as blue oak woodland in the northwest corner and annual grassland throughout the rest of the property, with minimal barren habitat type surrounding the existing and previous residential buildings on the site. Churn Creek is located outside the northeast boundary of the site.

EXISTING LAND USE Two small rental units
GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION “ Residential, 10 to 20 dwelling units per acre” and “Greenway” ZONING DESIGNATION “RM-12” Residential Multiple Family

SURROUNDING LAND USES
North: Single-family residential subdivision and City open space along Churn Creek.

East: Single- family home and vacant land designated “ RM-12” adjacent to Churn Creek.

South: Montessori school, older single family homes, and vacant land across Old Alturas Road.

West: Duplex Subdivision.

Background
The eight- acre property consists of two parcels located northwest of the Old Alturas Road and Victor Avenue intersection. The westerly parcel was previously developed with a single-family home site and structures that dated to the 1950s; however, all buildings were recently demolished and removed. The easterly parcel contains two small rental units and a detached garage located close to the intersection.

The subdivision’ s design concept is very similar to the adjacent planned development subdivision located at the intersection of Old Alturas Road and Browning Street. This subdivision includes duplex units developed on lots with a private internal driveway system and common landscape and amenities.

Planned Development Process. Chapter 18.53 (" PD" Planned Development District) of the Zoning Code provides a process, or " zoning tool," that can be used where greater flexibility in design is desired to allow a more efficient use of land than would be possible through strict application of conventional zoning standards. The PD process can be used to customize use and development standards to fit a project, as long as specific findings can be made, which largely center on consistency with the General Plan. PD projects are also expected to provide appropriate amenities and design enhancements, thus providing something extra/unique to support justification for variation from standards.

Packet Pg. 373 Attachment: Previous Staff Report 5-01-2018 (4.11(a)--Final Map-Alturas Crossing Subdivision) Report to Redding Planning Commission March 22, 2018
Re: 4(b)2-- S-2017- 00239, Tentative Subvision Map, Live Oak Estates Subdivision and Planned Development Page 3
To be eligible for the PD process, a site must be zoned to include " PD" as an overlay district.

Preparation of a Planned Development Plan, such as that attached, is required to illustrate the standards that are specific to the project. In this case, the proposed subdivision must incorporate the " PD" Overlay District with the " RM" District to allow development of the duplex/ four- plex project on individual lots with less than 10,000 square feet (standard " RM" district minimum), variation in lot configurations, street- frontage requirements, and building setbacks.

Design Concept. The planned development would allow for development of a subdivision of duplex and four-plex units based on the following design principles:

Reduced lot sizes and building setbacks are provided to facilitate the development concept.

All duplex units are two- story and have an attached one- or two- car garage.

All four- plex units will have one covered parking space.

All units will have fenced, private backyards. All front and rear yards will be landscaped with unit construction.

A system of private and reciprocal easements will facilitate all shared vehicle access, parking, utility needs, and common landscape.

Amenities include two group gathering areas to be constructed with Phases 2 and 3. Both will include walking trails, benches, picnic or barbeque area, and/or shade structures for the enjoyment of the residents. A pedestrian trailhead access will be provided to the private open space in the northeast corner of the subdivision that will provide access to the adjacent public Churn Creek open space area.

A private homeowners’ association would be formed to maintain all common improvements and landscape in the interior of the project.

A landscape maintenance district would be formed for maintenance of frontage landscape along Old Alturas Road.

Issue
Staff has not identified any issues of inconsistency with the City General Plan or standard development policies or significant environmental concerns.

General Plan Consistency. The proposed subdivision supports 64 units over a net developable area ( excluding steep slope, open space, and right -of-way dedication) of approximately 5.5 acres.

This represents a net density of 11.6 units per acre, which falls within the range allowed by the General Plan classification for the site of 10 to 20 units per acre. Overall, staff feels the project advances General Plan Community Development and Design Element ( CDD) Goal 11 and Policy 11D, to ensure new residential developments are well -located and well designed with a mix of residential density and dwelling types and CDD Goal 12 and Policy 12A, to ensure Packet Pg. 374 Attachment: Previous Staff Report 5-01-2018 (4.11(a)--Final Map-Alturas Crossing Subdivision) Report to Redding Planning Commission March 22, 2018

attractive, safe, and well -maintained neighborhoods by promoting neighborhood quality though project amenities and establishment of a homeowners' association.

Traffic/ Circulation. Access to the subdivision would be derived from Old Alturas Road in two locations. Phases 1 and 2 would take access from the westerly driveway shown on the tentative map. Phase 3 of the project would necessitate a required second access that would be located at the intersection of Old Alturas Road and Victor Avenue, essentially forming the fourth leg of the current all-way stop intersection.

Construction of a roundabout at the Old Alturas Road and Victor Avenue intersection, in conjunction with a roundabout corridor along Old Alturas Road to the east, is identified as a future project in the City’ s Capital Improvement Plan; however, timing and funding availability is undetermined at this time. A preliminary design layout for the roundabout, utilizing the tentative subdivision map layout, however, was recently completed by Omni Means in order to ensure adequate right-of-way for future improvements is provided as a condition of recording the final subdivision map. If development of Phase 3 moves forward and the roundabout has not yet been constructed, a temporary driveway would need to be constructed to access the project and provide proper secondary access.

Tree Preservation/ Open Space. The site has a moderate to dense covering of trees located on the sloping hillside area in the northwest portion of the subdivision. With the exception of this area, the site is relatively flat with little vegetation or tree cover. Due to the project’ s grading and utility demands, some amount of trees will be removed and a retaining wall will be constructed behind the units on Lots 5 through 12. The majority of existing trees ( 279) are identified as blue oak; however, there are several pine and shade tree varieties found mainly in the area of the previous and current home sites. The majority of trees ( 211) would be preserved, most located on the sloping hillside. Also preserved in an open-space easement is the area in the northeast corner of the site consisting of the setback from the Churn Creek corridor. The area will include a trailhead to provide residents of this development with access to the public Churn Creek open space area and future trail system.

Environmental Determination
Based on the Initial Study prepared for the tentative map and planned development plan, staff prepared a Mitigated Negative Declaration, which was distributed to surrounding property owners and appropriate public agencies for review ( these documents are attached). Mitigation measures were incorporated into the project to address impacts to biological resources pertaining to protection of nesting raptors and other migratory birds during construction and the loss of a minor amount of potentially jurisdictional waters.

Public Comment
As of this writing, staff has not received any public comments on the application as a result of notification of the intent to adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration and the Planning Commission hearing today.

Re: 4(b)2-- S-2017- 00239, Tentative Subvision Map, Live Oak Estates Subdivision and Planned Development Page 5
The recommended conditions of approval for the project are attached.

Required Findings
There are three categories of findings that apply to the project: ( 1) environmental/CEQA findings; ( 2) subdivision map findings; and ( 3) planned development plan findings. All required findings must be found to be in evidence to support approval of the proposed project. These are outlined and provided as an attachment to this report.

Planning Commission Authority
The Planning Commission has the authority to approve tentative subdivision maps under Section

17.120.100 of the City’s Subdivision Ordinance and planned development plans under Section

18.53.050 the City’ s Zoning Ordinance. In this case, however, the City Council has the responsibility for approval of the rezoning application that the tentative subdivision map and planned development plan are dependent upon. The Planning Commission, therefore, is asked to make a recommendation on the project to the City Council.

Alternatives
The following alternatives are offered for consideration:

1. Based upon a determination that the necessary findings are in evidence, recommend that the City Council adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration prepared for the project and approve Tentative Subdivision Map Application S-2017-00239, Planned Development Plan Application PD- 2017- 00241, and Rezoning Application RZ-2017- 00240, subject to the draft conditions of approval. (Staff Recommendation)

2. Recommend the project for approval with modifications to the draft conditions that the Planning Commission deems necessary to support the project. Minor modifications may be incorporated into a motion for approval.

3. Recommend denial to the City Council of the tentative map, planned development plan, and rezoning applications. Such action must be based upon a finding that the project is inconsistent with the General Plan or other City development standards or poses a threat to public health, safety, or welfare. Staff has not identified any justification for denial of the project.

Conclusion
It is the opinion of staff that with application of the attached conditions of approval, all necessary findings for approval related to CEQA compliance, the tentative map, and the planned development plan are in evidence. The proposed rezoning to include the "PD" overlay district is appropriate to facilitate the project. The project also advances General Plan Community Development and Design Element Goal 11 and Policy 11D, to ensure new residential developments are well-located and well designed with a mix of residential density and dwelling Packet Pg. 376 Attachment: Previous Staff Report 5-01-2018 (4.11(a)--Final Map-Alturas Crossing Subdivision) Report to Redding Planning Commission March 22, 2018

Subject: Live Oak Subdivision located on Old Alturas Road Date: Wednesday, March 28, 2018 8: 14: 08 AM
Dear Ms. Burke,
My staff and I have discussed the Mitigated Negative Declaration for the Live Oak Subdivision located on Old Alturas Road. The Department appreciates the City of Redding utilizing residential infill opportunities for this parcel. However, the Department has some concerns over the CEQA process followed as well as some minor comments regarding the project itself.

State Clearinghouse
Per CEQA Guidelines sections 15073(d) and 15205, the CEQA Lead Agency must submit a draft environmental impact report ( EIR), negative declaration ( ND), or mitigated negative declaration MND) to the State Clearinghouse when any of the following are true:

Draft EIRs and NDs (including MNDs) prepared by a state agency where such agency is a Lead Agency.

Draft EIRs and NDs (including MNDs) prepared by a public agency where a state agency is a Responsible Agency, Trustee Agency, or otherwise has jurisdiction by law with respect to the project.

Draft EIRS and NDs on projects identified in Section 15206 as being of statewide, regional or area wide significance.

Draft EISs, environmental assessments and findings of no significant impact prepared pursuant to NEPA, the Federal Guidelines ( Title 40 CFR, Part 1500, commencing with Section 1500.1).

CDFW is always a trustee agency whenever a project may have any effect on fish and wildlife of the state, even if that effect is considered less than significant by the lead agency, therefore, the project should have gone through the State Clearinghouse process.

Wetlands
A small wetland feature was described in the Preliminary Resource Evaluation ( PRE) dated October 24, 2016, and prepared by Gallaway Enterprises, but no formal wetland delineation was conducted.

In order for the Department to analyze and comment on biological resources, it is imperative we have all the necessary information. The first question that is raised is whether or not there are jurisdictional wetlands present onsite, and if there are, if those wetlands will be impacted. If the answer to both of those questions is yes, then the amount of wetland impacted should be disclosed as well as the proposed mitigation. The Department considers any impacts to wetlands significant and opposes development or conversion of wetlands unless the mitigation assures there will be “no net loss” of wetlands. Mitigation for wetlands typically begin at a 2:1 ratio and go higher if listed species are present. If wetlands are present, and are proposed for development, avoidance, minimization or mitigation measures need to be developed prior the approval of the project.

Special Status Species
Packet Pg. 417 Attachment: Previous Staff Report 5-01-2018 (4.11(a)--Final Map-Alturas Crossing Subdivision) The PRE states the general botanical survey was conducted outside the blooming period for most flowering plants. One special status species, Redding checkerbloom ( Sidalcea celata), a California Rare Plant Rank 3 species was noted as having the potential to occur within the oak woodland portion. The PRE goes on to say no focused surveys were necessary because this portion of the site will be avoided. The oak woodland area proposed for avoidance will become “private open space”, which means the homeowners and/or renters will be able to utilize the open space for hiking, dog walking, etc. Direct and indirect impacts to the open space were not discussed in the MND. The Department recommends botanical surveys be conducted at the appropriate blooming time to determine the presence and/or absence of special status plant species. If special status species are found, appropriate avoidance and minimization measures shall be developed to reduce any significant impacts to less than significant.

Additionally, the Initial Study states, “the status as a California Rare Plant Rank 3 (more information) does not currently warrant mitigation requirements by California Department of Fish and Wildlife CDFDW). California Rare Plant Rank 3 is defined as:

All of the plants constituting California Rare Plant Rank 3 meet the definitions of the California Endangered Species Act of the California Department of Fish and Game Code, and are eligible for state listing. Impacts to these species or their habitat must be analyzed during preparation of environmental documents relating to CEQA, or those considered to be functionally equivalent to CEQA, as they meet the definition of Rare or Endangered under CEQA Guidelines §15125 (c) and/or §15380.”[
1]
The Department works in collaboration with the California Native Plant Society and with botanical experts throughout the state to maintain an Inventory of Rare and Endangered Plants, and the similar Special Vascular Plants, Bryophytes, and Lichens List. Species on these lists may meet the CEQA definition of rare or endangered. As the trustee agency for the wildlife of California, which includes plants, ecological communities and the habitat upon which they depend, the Department advises public agencies during the CEQA process to help ensure that the actions they approve do not significantly impact such resources. The Department often advises that plant species with an appropriate rare plant rank in the Inventory be properly analyzed by the lead agency during project review to ensure compliance with CEQA.

Good morning Amy,
We are in receipt of comments from Senior Environmental Scientist, Michael Harris, regarding the Mitigated Negative Declaration for Tentative Subdivision Map S-2017-00239 and Planned Development Plan PD- 2017- 00241, Live Oak Estates. Below is a brief response to those comments.

Please let me know if you have any further questions or concerns you would like to discuss.

Thank you,
Linda
State Clearinghouse
The City of Redding’s past practice has not typically sent all Negative Declarations through the State Clearinghouse, particularly when a project would warrant a Lake or Streambed Alteration Permit for only minor improvements such as the stormwater outfall, as is the case with this project. If the project involves major issues with fish and wildlife resources, however, the City would be in contact with the DFW through the early planning stages and the environmental document would be sent through the State Clearinghouse. In this case, agency comments were requested in March 2017, however no comments were received and there was no indication that anything other than standard operating procedure should be followed.

Wetlands
The wetland area was disclosed in the Preliminary Resource Evaluation conducted by Galloway Enterprises as being .001 acres. However staff acknowledged it may not have been clear in the narrative that the grading plan shows avoidance of the area as it is located adjacent to the west property line. The mitigation measure was added as precautionary in the event the preliminary grading plan needed to be modified and fill necessary. The applicant’ s engineer however does not anticipate filling the wetland.

Special Status Species
According to California Department of Fish and Wildlife California Natural Diversity Database CNDDB) and California Native Plant Society information, a California Rare Plant Rank 3 are those for which more information is needed to assign them to one of the other lists or reject them. The definition states that many, but not all Rank 3 plants meet the definition of the California Endangered Species Act and are eligible for listing. In this case, the area of avoidance that will be designated “private open space” will be separated from the usable portion of the lot by a 4 to 5- foot- high retaining wall and is a rather steep slope, and therefore not suitable for hiking or dog walking, affording protection to potential Rank 3 plant species.

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Adopt Resolution, effective December 24, 2023, to amend: (a) the Unrepresented Schedule of Part-Time Employee Classifications and Wage Rates/Ranges; and (b) the Schedules of Wage Rates for Redding Independent Employees Organization – Clerical, Technical and Professional Unit (RIEO–CTP) to increase salaries for City of Redding positions impacted by the 2024 California Minimum Wage increase.

Fiscal Impact
The proposed salary increases result in additional costs of approximately $36,000 per year. Of this amount approximately $24,000 is associated to the General Fund as many of the positions are related to Community Service’s Recreation Division and the Police Department. Some, if not most, of the increase will be offset by program revenue. The remaining costs are funded by enterprise funds and a small number of employees are part of internal service funds that have charges to General Fund departments.

Alternative Action
The Council could elect not to approve the resolution amending the salary schedules. This is not recommended as amendments are needed to bring wages up to the 2024 California Minimum Wage.

Background/Analysis
As of January 1, 2024, the California minimum wage will increase to $16.00 per hour. Staff completed a comprehensive review of all City of Redding (City) salary schedules in order to identify classifications which will fall below the state minimum wage in January. The recommended adjustments will increase wages to ensure starting salaries for all City positions are at or above the California minimum wage. The impacted positions include:

In addition to the positions which are directly impacted due to being below the 2024 California Minimum Wage Rate, staff recommends additional salary adjustments for related positions in the Recreation department in order to maintain proper compression rates and salary structure within the department. These positions include Recreation Coordinator I/II, Recreation Crew Leader, Recreation Crew Supervisor, and Recreation Instructor I/II.

As part of these adjustments, staff in impacted positions will be placed at the step with the new wage closest to their current step. Employees will only be moved into a lower step providing the wage of the lower step is higher than their current wage. This results in impacted employees receiving a wage increase of approximately 1.59 percent.

In addition to the salary adjustments, the resolution would delete two obsolete positions from the Schedule of Part-Time Employee Classifications and Wage Rates/Ranges: Car Washer and Police Chaplain.

The recommended adjustments will ensure City compliance with the California Minimum Wage and maintain proper salary structure within City departments.

Environmental Review
This is not a project defined under the California Environmental Quality Act, and no further action is required.

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Conduct a Public Hearing and, upon conclusion:
(1) Adopt Resolution to increase REU’s rates (four percent revenue increase per year) effective January 1, 2024, and January 1, 2025, for usage beginning on the first day of the first electric billing cycle;
(2) Approve a Fixed Charge Credit increase of $2.50 per month to Residential Energy Discount Program customers effective January 1, 2024, and January 1, 2025, for usage beginning on the first day of the first electric billing cycle; and (3) Find that the adoption of this Resolution is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act under the common-sense clause.

Fiscal Impact
The City of Redding (City) Electric Utility’s (REU) current biennial budget was adopted by the City Council (Council) on June 20, 2023, and included a five-year financial plan. The financial plan included estimated annual rate increases of four percent per year through 2027. Only the four percent rate increases for the years 2024 and 2025 are being proposed at this time.

Periodic rate adjustments are needed to maintain operating reserves due to necessary capital projects, increased costs due to inflation, and new compliance requirements. The Council’s REU Financial Management Policy has a target of 150 days of cash on hand; 75 days for Operating Costs, 30 days for System Critical Failure, and 45 days for Rate Stabilization. Reserves dipped below the Council’s reserve policy target in 2023 and are anticipated to fall below 150 days in 2024 and 2026. Without the recommended rate adjustments or a commensurate expenditure decrease, i.e., eliminating the capital improvement program and wildfire mitigation program, expenses will exceed revenues, depleting reserves.

Adequate funding is available within the Public Benefits Program budget to provide for the proposed increase in benefits for Residential Energy Discount Program participants.

Nick Zettel, Director of
Redding Electric Utility
Packet Pg. 471
Report to Redding City Council November 30, 2023
Re: 6.1--Public Hearing Regarding Electric Utility Rate Increases and Adjustments Page 2 Alternative Action
The Council could choose not to adopt the resolution and provide alternative direction to staff.

As stated in the fiscal impact, without the recommended rate adjustments, expenses will exceed revenues, deplete reserves, cause REU to fall short of the Council’s Financial Management Policy minimum reserves requirement, and likely impact the utility’s bond rating.

Background/Analysis
REU increased rates in 2022 and 2023 by two percent per year to offset inflationary pressures and comply with federal and state regulatory requirements. Aging infrastructure replacement, rising power supply costs, further inflationary pressures, and funding REU’s Senate Bill 901 Wildfire Mitigation Plan drive the need for rate increases. Based on these factors, staff recommends rate increases to maintain a safe electric system while continuing to provide reliable electric service with a solid financial foundation.

As expressed in the November 7, 2023, Council report, the proposed rate considerations comprise a four percent revenue increase effective January 1, 2024, for usage beginning on the first day of the first electric billing cycle and a second four percent revenue increase effective January 1, 2025, for usage beginning on the first day of the first electric billing cycle. Increases in the first year are partially offset by a reduction in the Federal Environmental Surcharge, a lasting benefit of the Utility’s successful participation in Northern California Power Agency v.

United States (Central Valley Project Improvement Act), as presented to the Council on June 6, 2023.

The effect of the proposed changes on each residential customer’s utility bill will depend on how much electricity is used each month. On average, residential customers will see an increase of about $6.75 per month starting in 2024 and an additional $7.75 per month in 2025. In addition, the staff proposes increasing the Residential Energy Discount (Public Benefits Program) for all residential and residential multi-family customers, mitigating the increase for income-qualified households.

Commercial customers will experience varying impacts due to differences in their energy usage and business size. On average, Small Commercial customers will see an increase of $14 per month starting in 2024 and an additional $15 per month in 2025. On average, Large Commercial customers will see an increase of $82 per month starting in 2024 and an additional $114 per month in 2025.

In preparing this recommendation, staff evaluated REU’s established rate philosophy and rate structure, utility forecasting assumptions, and projected revenues to determine the need for these increases. In addition, staff held three meetings with a panel of five community members representing a cross-section of the community. In the meetings, the panel met with members of the staff and outside consultants to discuss the foundation of REU as a not-for-profit public power utility, evaluate the REU’s cost of service, and review the proposed rate plan. The panel agreed that the rate increases are appropriate and the proposed rates are fair and equitable.

Packet Pg. 472
Report to Redding City Council November 30, 2023
Re: 6.1--Public Hearing Regarding Electric Utility Rate Increases and Adjustments Page 3 Even with the contemplated rate increases, REU will remain one of California’s lowest-cost electricity providers and substantially below PG&E’s rates. For example, average residential monthly bills for PG&E and the City of Shasta Lake are estimated to be 113 percent and four percent more than the City of Redding in 2025. Staff also evaluated the impact this rate increase would have on low-income residents in the community. As part of the recommendation, staff proposes increasing the Network Access Charge credit for Residential Energy Discount customers to mitigate the proposed rate increases (a $2.50 per month credit increase, from $15.00 to $17.50 in 2024 and from $17.50 to $20.00 in 2025).

In December 2010, the Council renamed the “Service Charge” to “Network Access Charge” to better reflect its true meaning. There is a common misperception that the Network Access Charge portion of the monthly bill is strictly the cost of meter reading and billing. This is not correct. The fixed portion of the bill also recovers the cost of providing the infrastructure, such as distribution wires and transformers necessary to supply electricity to the location. As technology has advanced, the meaning of “Network Access” has evolved and no longer clearly defines what these charges encompass. To reflect these charges’ true nature, staff proposes renaming the Network Access Charge to “Fixed Charge.”
REU is proud of its efforts over the years of providing City of Redding customers with safe, reliable, and low-cost power. To maintain adequate financial operating reserves and relative rate stability through time, it is appropriate that the Council consider adopting electric rate adjustments incrementally to avoid the potential for future “rate shock” while maintaining the financial integrity and bond rating of the Utility.

Council Priority/City Manager Goals
• Budget and Financial Management – “Achieve balanced and stable 10-year Financial Plans for all funds.”
• Communication and Transparency – “Improve the quality of communication with the public and City employees to enhance knowledge and increase transparency to improve public trust.”

Subject: 2024 Rate Study Results and Recommendations
Dear Holly:

In May 2023, the City of Redding (City) retained NewGen Strategies and Solutions, LLC (NewGen) to develop an update of the 2021 Cost of Service (COS) and Rate Study. This report summarizes the analyses conducted with respect to the updated COS and rate design efforts by NewGen on behalf of Redding Electric Utility (REU) and is referred to herein as the 2024 Rate Study or Study.

The Rate Study determined the total cost of providing electric services, the allocation of costs to the various customer classes, and the design of rates for existing and projected customer classes, as more fully described herein. The total cost of providing services predominately includes operations and maintenance (O&M) expenses, debt service, and capital outlays required to operate and maintain the system with high reliability. The Study included an analysis of projected revenue requirements; an unbundled COS analysis based on the forecasted fiscal year (FY) ending June 30, 2024; a rate analysis; and the development of proposed new electric rates. The Test Year (TY) for this Study was defined as the average for FYs 2024 and 2025 (two-year average).

Summary Findings

1. The Cost of Service for the TY is approximately $136 million. The projected rate revenue for the TY at current rates is approximately $126.1 million, representing a $9.9 million shortfall or approximately a 7% systemwide revenue deficit.

2. When compared with the previous study, the 2024 Study’s distribution expense has increased by approximately $7 million, primarily due to increased spending needed to maintain REU’s aging distribution infrastructure.

3. REU’s long-term capital plan aims to revitalize their aging infrastructure by spending approximately $40.2 million on capital projects and general system improvements during the TY. Rather than funding these capital expenditures entirely through retail rates, REU is projected to fund this expense using cash reserves in FY 24 and a debt issuance in FY 25. Due to this, REU’s cash reserves are estimated to decline from $49.7 million to $29.5 million prior to the FY 25 debt issuance.

4. The COS results suggest that some classes are under collecting relative to their projected TY COS and some classes are over collecting. At current rates, the Residential and Small Commercial classes are projected to under collect their associated costs by approximately 14% and 23%, respectively.

current rates, the Large Commercial Class is projected to over collect their associated costs by approximately 16% in the TY.

5. REU is planning two 4% system-level revenue increases on January 1 in 2024 and 2025. Rates will increase most for classes which are currently under recovering their costs (Residential and Small Commercial) and rates will increase least for classes which are currently over collecting their costs (Large Commercial).

6. It is projected that approximately 70% of REU’s TY expenses are fixed in nature, but approximately 77% of REU’s revenues are collected through variable charges (i.e., energy charges). Due to this imbalance, class-level rate increases for the Residential and Small Commercial classes will prioritize increasing fixed cost recovery via increased customer charges (referred to as “Network Access Charges” in REU’s 2023 rate book.)

7. With the recommended rate increases, REU’s revenue for the TY is projected to be approximately $131.8 million representing an approximate $4.2 million annual deficit from base rates. Prior to the FY 25 debt issuance, REU intends to utilize its existing cash reserves to fund system capital expenditures and to address this annual deficit.

8. REU proposes to add Light Emitting Diode (LED) lighting rates to their rate tariff. LED lighting rates have been determined on an “equivalent lumen” basis, and LED bulbs will continue to replace high pressure sodium (HPS) and mercury vapor (MV) bulbs as they age out of the system.

Usage Characteristics by Class – TY
The COS analysis examines detailed customer usage characteristics by customer class. Table 1 summarizes these characteristics on a TY basis for the customer classes currently served by REU, including projected retail sales (provided in megawatt-hours or MWh, which is a thousand kilowatt-hours, or kWh); number of customers in each class; and estimated contribution to peak demand, based on the 4 coincident peak (4CP) methodology utilized for this Study. Peak demand is the highest level of electricity usage in each period (month) and is measured in kilowatts (kW). The 4CP demand measures the contribution of each customer class to the system-level monthly peak for the four highest demand months of the year. This 4CP demand measurement is used to allocate fixed costs associated with serving customers during the system peaks.

Energy and customer projections were provided by Itron, which is a technology company that provides electric load forecasts for utilities, among other services. The class-level 4CP demand was determined via a regression analysis of REU’s FY 23 distribution feeder data.

The following provides a summary of the cost of service methodology utilized for this Rate Study and applied to the REU System Revenue Requirement to determine the COS results, as presented herein.

1. Functionalization and Sub-functionalization of Costs – The revenue requirement is assigned to the particular function or sub-function of the utility. Fully integrated utilities like REU typically have production, transmission, distribution, and customer services functions. Sub-functions may include different sources of power supply (generation infrastructure, purchased power, etc.) and transmission DocuSign Envelope ID: C0EA9784-5FC1-43A4-A190-FC37B936CC9A Packet Pg. 481 Attachment: Rate Study Report (6.1--Public Hearing Regarding Electric Utility Rate Increases and Adjustments) Ms. Holly Spaner

REU_Letter Report_FINAL
infrastructure at different voltage levels. Distribution sub-functions may include distribution infrastructure by voltage, metering, billing, collection, etc.

2. Classification of Costs – Once costs are functionalized, they are classified based on their underlying nature. Of particular importance is the determination of fixed versus variable costs. Fixed costs remain a financial obligation of the utility regardless of the amount of energy produced whereas variable costs fluctuate based on system energy requirements. Further, fixed and variable costs are associated with utility requirements to meet customer demand, energy, and customer service needs.

3. Allocation of Costs – Once costs are classified, they are allocated to the various customer classes.

Allocation factors align with cost classification; for example, demand-related costs are allocated on measures of class demand such as class contribution to the system peak. Energy allocation factors are based on energy consumed by customers. Customer allocation factors are based on the number of customers.

Cost of Service Results
The results of the COS analysis provide a detailed assessment of the costs required to serve each of the customer classes. These customer class costs are unbundled into utility functions and then classified into demand, energy, and customer components. Customer class costs are compared to the projected revenues under current rates to determine if current rates are sufficient to meet costs. Once completed, the COS analysis is the basis for rate design.

A comparison of the TY revenue requirement by class is shown in Table 3.

The COS analysis resulted in a determination of a cost-based “Bundled” service charge which has three components: Customer Charge, Demand Rate, and Energy Rate. The Customer Charge recovers costs associated with serving the customer, including metering, customer service, and other costs. As previously indicated, the Customer Charge from the COS analysis is synonymous with the current Network Access Charge in REU’s existing tariffs. The Demand Rate is designed to recover fixed costs for the production and delivery of power for customer classes with demand meters, which for REU includes the Large Commercial customer class. For customer classes not incurring a Demand Charge, the productionDocuSign Envelope ID: C0EA9784-5FC1-43A4-A190-FC37B936CC9A Packet Pg. 482 Attachment: Rate Study Report (6.1--Public Hearing Regarding Electric Utility Rate Increases and Adjustments) Ms. Holly Spaner

REU Revenue Shortfall/Reserve Impact Analysis
As previously mentioned, REU intends to invest $40.2 million into revitalizing its aging infrastructure during the TY. This spending is being funded via debt issuances in FY 25. REU intends to rely on its cash reserves to fund its capital expenditures prior to the FY 25 bond issuance. REU’s financial management policy requires that REU maintain a minimum cash reserve balance which exceeds 75 days of working capital.

Based on financial projections through FY 28, 4% annual revenue increases are required for REU to maintain its cash reserve minimum balance target of 75 days of working capital. This was determined by forecasting REU’s expenses and debt issuances through FY 28 and determining the minimum rate increases which resulted in maintaining at least 75 days of cash on hand. The cash flow forecast with 4% annual rate increases beginning January 1, 2024 is included in the Operating Revenues shown below in Table 5, which also includes cash reserves for the end of FY 2023 (actual) and forecast for FY 2024 through FY 2028.

Figure 1. Rate Increases vs. DCOH Projection
Figure 1 provides a projection of days cash on hand (DCOH) using constant system percent revenue increases from FY 24 to FY 28. The DCOH is calculated by dividing cash reserves at the end of the Fiscal Year by average operating expenses per day. As discussed, and shown in Figure 1, annual system-level revenue increases of at least 4% are necessary to maintain REU’s cash reserve balance target minimum through FY 28.

Rate Design by Class
The following are the proposed changes to the existing REU rates by class. REU intends to increase its system revenue by 4% in 2024 and in 2025. The highest percent rate increases will be to classes that are expected to under recover their costs throughout the TY. REU intends to implement the rate increases on a calendar year basis, meaning these changes will go into effect on January 1 of each year.

Residential (E1)
The results of the COS study indicate that the Residential Class is expected to under collect their associated costs by approximately 14% during the TY without a rate change. Currently, 13% of Residential revenue comes from fixed charges (i.e., the Customer Charge) while 72% of class-level costs are fixed in nature.

The proposed rate changes are intended to both improve fixed cost recovery and reduce the class-level under recovery of costs.

For Residential rates (E1), rate changes will target a class-level revenue increase of 4.8% per calendar year in 2024 and 2025. This rate change will be made primarily by increasing the Customer Charge to improve fixed cost recovery. An increase in the Customer Charge from $25.00/month to $32.50/month is proposed for the first phase, effective January 1, 2024. Proposed changes for January 1, 2025, include an increase in the Customer Charge to $40.00/month and an increase in the Energy Charge to $0.1492/kilowatt hour (kWh). The COS analysis supports a Customer Charge of $63.50/month and an Energy Charge of $0.1279/kWh.

Small Commercial (E2)
The results of the COS study indicate that the Small Commercial Class is expected to under collect their associated costs by approximately 23% during the TY without a rate change. Currently, approximately 15% of Small Commercial revenue comes from fixed charges (i.e., the Customer Charge) while 77% of class-level costs are fixed in nature. The proposed rate changes are intended to both improve fixed cost recovery and reduce the class-level under recovery of costs.

For Small Commercial rates (E2), rate changes will target a class-level revenue increase of 6% per calendar year in 2024 and 2025. An increase in the Customer Charge from $40.00/month to $55.00/month is proposed for the first phase, effective January 1, 2024. An additional increase in the Customer Charge to $70.00/month is proposed for January 1, 2025, as is an increase in the Energy Charge from $0.1645/kWh to $0.1649/kWh.

Large Commercial customers (E7 or E8) are customers who currently have a demand greater than 25 kilowatts (kW) for 6 months of the preceding 12-month period or who exceed 75 kW for one month during that period.

For the Large Commercial Class (E7 and E8), rate changes will target a class-level revenue increase of 2.1% per calendar year in 2024 and 2025. For the first phase, effective January 1, 2024, a decrease in the Customer Charge from $145.00/month to $95.00/month is proposed, as is an increase in the Demand Charge from $20.00/kW to $21.00/kW and an increase in the Energy Charge from $0.1044/kWh to $0.1065/kWh. For the second phase, effective January 1, 2025, an increase in the Demand Charge from $21.00/kW to $21.50/kW is proposed, as is an increase in the Energy Charge from $0.1065/kWh to $0.1086/kWh.

Fixed Cost Recovery
As with most utilities, REU’s operational costs are primarily fixed and include debt service, labor, and investments in equipment. Variable costs are primarily related to fuel and purchased power. However, REU is typical of many electric utilities in that it currently recovers the majority of its fixed costs from the variable portion of its rate structures (the energy charge or cents per kWh). Figure 5 provides a summary of the fixed cost recovery (defined as revenue from customer charges and demand charges) compared to the variable cost recovery. This nonalignment between costs, cost causation, and the revenue recovery results in customer energy charges that are higher than the COS and fixed charges that are lower than the COS. However, by not pricing the fixed rates at the costs incurred by REU, the rates can send improper pricing signals to customers and encourage inefficient use of the system.

REU_Letter Report_FINAL
Figure 5. Fixed vs. Variable Cost Recovery
Rate increases for the Residential and Small Commercial classes have prioritized improving fixed cost recovery by means of increasing the Customer Charge. The proposed rate changes increase the average fixed cost recovery for the system from approximately 23% to approximately 26% in 2024 and 28% in 2025. As indicated, the COS analysis suggests that fixed costs for the system are approximately 70% of the total costs and variable costs are approximately 30% of the total costs.

Conclusions
Based on the results of the analysis completed for this Study, the following conclusions are presented:
 REU seeks to advance the City’s mission to provide high-quality and reliable electric utility services to its customers. This mission is detailed in the infrastructure improvements and upgrades identified in REU’s capital plan. REU’s current rates and rate structures are insufficient to provide the revenue necessary to support these required system improvements. Annual 4% system-level revenue increases are required to fund the capital plan while simultaneously meeting REU’s days of cash on hand requirement.
 REU’s existing rate components (i.e., demand, customer charge, and energy) are not properly aligned with its fixed and variable costs. These existing rates and rate structures contribute to REU’s current under recovery of its fixed costs from fixed revenues. The proposed changes herein provide for an increase in REU’s fixed cost recovery through fixed revenues.

Recommendations
Based on the conclusions and supporting analyses presented herein, NewGen makes the following recommendations:

Customers whose solar and/or wind power production source’s rated capacity or capability exceeds 10 kW, up to 1,000 kW or 1 megawatt, could require development of a co-metering tariff with REU, per statutory requirements, at the sole discretion of REU.

CHARGES
A monthly statement on the applicable residential or commercial service, energy and demand charges will be established for all customers operating under the Net Metering Tariff, plus or minus any adjustments incorporated in this rate schedule or supplement hereto.

The eligible customer-generator shall be billed each month for the applicable monthly Fixed Charges..

Residential and small commercial customers operating under this service will receive an estimate of net energy charges and/or demand charges due to REU. At the end of the twelve (12) billing cycles following the date of the generator’s final interconnection with the Utility’s system and at the end of each successive twelve (12) billing cycles thereafter, the customer shall receive a bill for any applicable charges for electricity used during the previous 12-month period that are unpaid. The customer-generator shall be compensated for any net surplus energy transmitted during the previous 12-month period per Special Conditions #3 below. Large Commercial customers will be provided monthly bills for all applicable services, per State Law.

SPECIAL CONDITIONS

1. Generation Interconnection Agreement: An interconnection agreement with the customer is required for service under this schedule. The customer must comply with conditions and terms set forth by REU for the safe and efficient interconnection of equipment with the REU electrical system.

2. Net Energy: Net energy is ES minus EF, where ES is energy supplied by REU and EF is energy generated by the customer and fed back into REU's system at such times as customer generation exceeds customer requirements. If the net energy value resulting from the above computation is positive, an energy charge shall be applied at the rates specified below. If the calculation of net energy yields a negative result, all such net surplus energy shall be considered net surplus energy transmitted and shall be treated as stated in Special Condition No. 3 below. The components of net energy, ES and EF, shall be determined by the use of metering equipment best suited for each facility Packet Pg. 509 Attachment: Exhibit A - Rate Book January 2024 (6.1--Public Hearing Regarding Electric Utility Rate Increases and Adjustments) Electric Service A-18 Effective January 1, 2024
RENEWABLE RESOURCE NET-METERING SERVICE (Continued)
or location, as determined by REU. All necessary labor, equipment, materials, and related facilities costs in addition to, or in substitution for, standard City facilities that are required in order to take and sell power through one-meter socket, will be at the customer's expense.

3. Net Surplus Energy Transmitted: Net energy transmitted occurs when the cumulative value of EF exceeds the cumulative value of ES during the entire billing period and is the amount by which the energy generated by the customer and fed back into REU's system exceeds the energy supplied by REU over an entire billing period. In the event the energy generated exceeds the energy consumed during the 12-month period, payment will be made for the net surplus energy delivered to REU’s grid.

This compensation will be based on REU’s current avoided cost for energy ($0.0608 per kWh effective January 1, 2020) and is updated administratively on an annual basis.

4. Payment: Statements of any and all monthly service costs will be provided monthly and bills for service will be rendered annually to customers receiving service under the Residential or Small Commercial tariffs outlined herein, per State Law. However, such customers operating under this rate schedule will be allowed to provide periodic (e.g. monthly or bi-monthly) payments for services rendered, if applicable, to avoid an unbudgeted utility expense. Large Commercial customers will be provided monthly bills for all services received under this service, per State Law.

ZERO NET ENERGY SERVICE – (E*ZNE)

CHARGES
This service will be billed monthly at the applicable residential or commercial service and net of a credit applied for any surplus energy transmitted ($0.0608 per kWh effective January 1, 2020). Surplus energy transmitted occurs when on-site generation exceeds on-site consumption and energy is transmitted to the grid (real-time customer energy generation exceeds real-time customer energy consumption). When a customer’s on-site generation meets their on-site consumption, the customer avoids the full utility retail rate. When a customer’s on-site generation does not meet their on-site consumption, the customer is charged at the full retail rate.

APPLICABILITY
The net metering successor tariff is applicable to residential customers and commercial customers where a part or all of the electrical requirements of the customer can be supplied from a solar, wind, or other eligible customer generator as defined in SB489 and SBX1 2 of not more than 1,000 kilowatts that is owned and operated by the customer. The generator must be connected for parallel operation with the service of REU, it must be located on the customer's premises, and it must be intended to offset part or all of the customer's electrical requirements.

Customers whose solar and/or wind power production source’s rated capacity or capability exceeds 10 kW, up to 1,000 kW or 1 megawatt, could require the development of a co-metering tariff with REU, per statutory requirements, at the sole discretion of REU.

CHARACTER OF SERVICE
Each service is characterized by the applicable residential or commercial service.

SPECIAL CONDITIONS
Generation Interconnection Agreement: An interconnection agreement with the customer is required for service under this schedule. The customer must comply with conditions and terms set forth by REU for the safe and efficient interconnection of equipment with the REU electrical system.

POWER COST ADJUSTMENT – (PCA)

PURPOSE
The purpose of this adjustment is to appropriately adjust for increases in REU’s wholesale power costs due to the Revenue Adjustment Clause (RAC) associated with purchases by REU from the Department of Energy, Western Area Power Administration (Western).

APPLICATION OF POWER COST ADJUSTMENT
The monthly Power Cost Adjustment (PCA) dollar amount to be added to each bill shall be obtained by multiplying the number of kilowatt-hours for which the bill is rendered by the applicable monthly PCA Factor. This has not been used since the Interim Rate Surcharge was implemented in 1997.

CALCULATION OF THE POWER COST ADJUSTMENT FACTORS

1. The PCA Factor will be calculated and made effective every June 15 and December 15 to reflect any changes in Western's RAC.

2. If Western's RAC amount, in dollars, is a debit (monies owed to Western by Redding), then:
a. Western's RAC debit will be adjusted by:
(1) Subtracting any amount, in dollars, that is over the PCA Balancing Account's minimum balance of $300,000 as recorded 2 months prior to the effective date of the PCA Factor being calculated; however,
(2) If the 2 months' prior balance of the PCA Balancing Account is below $300,000, then the necessary dollar amount required to restore the account to $300,000 will be added to Western's RAC debit.
b. The adjusted debit dollar amount (as referenced in Section 2.a.) will be divided by the adjusted sum of all retail kilowatt-hour sales for the 6-month period beginning 12 months prior to the effective date of the PCA Factor.
c. The adjusted sum of retail kilowatt-hour sales (as referenced in Section 2.b.) will be determined by multiplying the historical total kilowatt-hour sales by a historical 3-year average annual energy growth factor to reflect REU’s rate of growth in kilowatt-hour sales. d. The PCA Factor resulting from the calculations in Section 2.b. will be applied as a charge to all retail kilowatt-hour sales on a monthly billing-cycle basis beginning with the effective date of the PCA Factor being calculated.

Packet Pg. 512 Attachment: Exhibit A - Rate Book January 2024 (6.1--Public Hearing Regarding Electric Utility Rate Increases and Adjustments) Electric Service A-21 Effective January 1, 2024
POWER COST ADJUSTMENT (continued)
e. If the calculation of the PCA Factor results in a debit of less than 0.01 cents per kilowatt-hour, then the PCA Factor will be 0.00 cents per kilowatt-hour. The RAC debits from Western will be paid from the PCA Balancing Account.

3. A PCA Balancing Account shall be maintained as an operating account for the purposes of accommodating the cash-flow fluctuations inherent in the PCA process. a. Each month when a power bill is rendered from Western, which includes any adjustment for Western's RAC, the account's balance will be calculated as follows:

(1) Subtract Western's monthly RAC charge, in dollars, from the balance which existed at the end of the prior month.
(2) Add the amount, in dollars, recovered from the application of the PCA Factor, which was effective during the prior month. Such amount shall be the product of kilowatt-hours of energy billed during the month and the applicable PCA Factor. (3) Add the amount, in dollars, of all interest earned on the average balance of the funds in the PCA Balancing Account.
(a) Funds from the monthly collection of the PCA will be invested by the City along with the City's other cash accounts and, therefore, will accrue interest at the average monthly rate paid on the City's variable investment account. b. Best efforts will be made to maintain a minimum balance in the PCA Balancing Account of $300,000.

FEDERAL ENVIRONMENTAL SURCHARGE – (FES)

APPLICABILITY
This surcharge is applicable to the entire City of Redding service area for all kilowatt-hours billed under all rate schedules.

PURPOSE
The purpose of this surcharge is to appropriately adjust for increases and decreases in the REU’s wholesale power costs due to the Federal Environmental Surcharge (FES) imposed by HR429 of the 1993 statutes, which is associated with purchases by the City of Redding from the Department of Energy, Western Area Power Administration (Western).

SURCHARGE
The monthly FES dollar amount to be added to or subtracted from each bill, shall be obtained by multiplying the number of kilowatt-hours for which the bill is rendered by the applicable monthly FES Rate. The FES Rate will become effective the first day of the month for which Western imposes the FES and will change from time to time thereafter, when changes in the FES are imposed by Western.

CALCULATION OF THE SURCHARGE

1. The FES Rate will be determined by multiplying the retail kilowatt-hour purchases of Western energy for the following 6-month period as defined in Section 1.A. by the FES rate charged by Western, then by subtracting from the resultant product the FES Balancing Account as defined in Paragraph 2, the difference will then be divided by the total projected retail kilowatt-hour sales as defined in Section

1.A.
a. Projected kilowatt-hour sales and purchases for FES calculation purposes shall be those amounts projected most recently by REU.

b. If the calculation of the FES Rate results in a surcharge of less than 0.01 cents per kilowatt-hour, then the FES Rate will be 0.00 cents per kilowatt-hour.

2. A FES Balancing Account shall be maintained as an operating account for the purposes of accommodating the cash-flow fluctuations inherent in the FES process.

Each month when a power bill is rendered from Western, which includes any adjustment for Western's FES, the account's balance will be calculated as follows:
a. Subtract Western's monthly FES charge, in dollars, from the balance which existed at the end of the prior month.

Packet Pg. 514 Attachment: Exhibit A - Rate Book January 2024 (6.1--Public Hearing Regarding Electric Utility Rate Increases and Adjustments) Electric Service A-23 Effective January 1, 2024
FEDERAL ENVIRONMENTAL SURCHARGE (continued)
b. Add the amount, in dollars, recovered from the application of the FES Rate which was effective during the prior month. Such amount shall be the product of kilowatt-hours of energy billed during the month and the applicable FES Rate.
c. Add the amount, in dollars, of all interest earned on the average balance of the funds in the FES Balancing Account.

Funds from the monthly collection of the FES will be invested by the City along with the City's other cash accounts and, therefore, will accrue interest at the average monthly rate paid on the City's variable investment account.

STATE REGULATORY SURCHARGE – (STATE)

PURPOSE
The State Regulatory surcharge or Energy Commission tax was established in 1975 by the State Board of Equalization, pursuant to Sections 40031 et seq., of the Revenue and Taxation Code of the State of California, to provide funding for the California Energy Commission.

SURCHARGE
The monthly dollar amount to be added to or subtracted from each bill shall be obtained by multiplying the number of kilowatt-hours for which the bill is rendered by the applicable monthly State surcharge rate. The State surcharge rate will become effective the first day of the month for which the State imposes the surcharge, and will change from time to time thereafter when changes to the rate are made by the State.

As of January, 2021, the surcharge is set at $0.0003 per kWh.

This rate is subject to revision from time to time by the California State Board of Equalization. The surcharge does not apply to electric service for federal government and certain other agencies.

GLOSSARY OF TERMS
Demand The average rate over a given period of time that a customer requires delivery of electric energy from the Utility system. Demand is another term for power.

Electric Current The movement of charged particles (e.g. electrons) in a material (e.g. power lines). Current is measured in units called Amperes or Amps.

Kilowatt (kW) One thousand (1,000) watts. Kilowatt is a nominal or standard measurement/rating of the capacity of electric lines or equipment and demand or power.

Kilowatt-hour (kWh) Kilowatt-hour is the standard measurement of electric energy. One kilowatt-hour is the amount of energy it takes to run a 100-watt light bulb for 10 hours. (100 watts X 10 hours = 1,000 watt-hours = 1 kilowatt-hour.) Load Any device that can convert the energy from electric current into some other useful form of energy, such as light, heat, sound, or mechanical motion. In electrical terms, load also refers to the amount of electric demand or power that the device uses or is rated to use.

Load Factor The ratio of the actual energy consumed and the maximum potential energy available during a specified time period, usually expressed as a percentage. e.g. 10,000 kWh/mo = 10,000 kWh/mo = 69.4%
20 kW Demand x 720 hours/mo 14,400 kWh/mo Load Factor

Fixed Charge The monthly charge established for each customer for access to the electric distribution system. This includes the costs of installing and maintaining the electric lines and transformers necessary to provide electricity to the customer’s location. This charge also includes the costs of installing, maintaining and reading the meter, as well as all other billing and customer service related functions provided by the Utility.

Power The rate at which electric energy is delivered by an electric current. Power is equal to the product of voltage and current (Volts X Amps = Watts).

Voltage The force that moves charged particles (e.g. electrons) in material. It is measured in units called Volts.

Watt (W) The standard measurement of electric power. One hundred watts is the rate of energy transfer equal to 10 amps flowing under the influence of 10 volts.

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Approve setting a Public Hearing on December 5, 2023, at 6:00 p.m., in the City Council Chambers, 777 Cypress Avenue, Redding, California, to consider increases in Redding Electric Utility (REU) rates (four percent revenue increase per year) effective with the January 2024 and January 2025 billing cycles, and an increase in the benefit of REU’s Residential Energy Discount for income-qualified households.

Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact associated with setting the public hearing.

Alternative Action
The City Council (Council) could choose not to set the public hearing as proposed and provide further direction to staff.

Background/Analysis
REU increased rates in 2022 and 2023 by two percent per year to offset inflationary pressures and comply with federal and state regulatory requirements. Aging infrastructure replacement, rising power supply costs, further inflationary pressures, and funding REU’s Senate Bill 901 Wildfire Mitigation Plan drive the need for rate increases. REU has mitigated cost increases as much as possible, limiting controllable operations and maintenance costs to a less than three percent annual growth rate despite record-breaking inflation.

REU’s current biennial budget, adopted by the Council on June 20, 2023, included a five-year financial plan. The financial plan included a four percent revenue increase every year through 2027 and a two percent increase in 2028. Only the four percent rate increases for the years 2024 and 2025 are being proposed at this time.

Packet Pg. 543 Attachment: 11.07.2023 Previous Staff Report 4.5(b) (6.1--Public Hearing Regarding Electric Utility Rate Increases and Adjustments) Report to Redding City Council October 31, 2023
Re: 4.5(b)--Set a Public Hearing for December 5, 2023 regarding REU rate increases Page 2 The effect of the proposed changes on each customer’s utility bill will depend on several factors, including how much electricity is used each month. On average, standard residential customers will see an increase of about $6.75 per month starting in 2024 and an additional $7.75 per month in 2025. In addition, staff will recommend increasing the Residential Energy Discount (Public Benefits Program) for all Residential and Residential Multi-Family customers, mitigating a portion of the rate increase for income-qualified customers.

Commercial customers will experience varying impacts due to differences in their energy usage and business size. The City of Redding (City) will provide tables and calculators to the public before the public hearing. These tools will be accessible on the City's website and at public workshops. They will display estimated changes in bills for different types of customers.

Customers can also enter their own energy usage to see how these changes may affect them.

Staff projections show that REU would remain the lowest electric provider in the area, with average standard residential bills for REU, Shasta Lake, and PG&E at $160, $166, and $341, respectively (2025 projected rates).

A panel of five community members representing a cross-section of REU’s customer makeup participated in a three-part meeting series to discuss the foundations of not-for-profit public power, evaluate REU’s cost of service, and review the proposed rate plan. The consensus of the panel was that the proposed rate increases are appropriate, fair, and equitable.

Additional public workshops will be held prior to the public hearing, both in-person and webbased, to ensure inclusion, and information will be provided directly to community-based organizations.

Council Priority/City Manager Goals
• Budget and Financial Management – “Achieve balanced and stable 10-year Financial Plans for all funds.”
• Communication and Transparency – “Improve the quality of communication with the public and City employees to enhance knowledge and increase transparency to improve public trust.”

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Provide direction to staff regarding Housing and Homelessness Incentive Program funding and consider appointing two Council Members to serve as the rating and ranking committee should a request for proposals be approved for issuance.

Fiscal Impact
In November 2022, the City executed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Partnership Health Plan of California (Partnership) for the Housing and Homelessness Incentive Program (HHIP) funding in an amount up to $7,649,507. To date, the City of Redding (City) has received $3,060,519 in HHIP funding from Partnership. Of this amount, $760,519 was set-aside for administration and three contracts not subject to procurement. In addition, on November 7, 2023, City Council (Council) allocated $625,000 to the City’s Crisis Intervention Response Team’s street outreach program and to a Homeless Management Information System Project (HMIS) operated by the United Way of Northern California.

The current balance of HHIP funds available for projects is $1,675,000. This amount may be used to fund programs and projects that reduce and prevent homelessness through local nonprofits and agencies who assist the homeless Medi-Cal population.

All HHIP funds must be expended by December 31, 2027. HHIP projects will not impact the General Fund.

Alternative Action
The Council may choose not to provide HHIP direction and staff could bring the request back to Council at a later date.

Report to Redding City Council November 29, 2023
Re: 9.2(a)--Provide Direction regarding HHIP Page 2
Background/Analysis
In accordance with the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, the Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) developed a series of initiatives that would enhance and expand Medi-Cal community-based services. One of these inititatives is the HHIP - a Medi-Cal program that provides funding and incentives for Managed Care Plans (MCP) to improve health outcomes and access to care by addressing housing insecurity and instability as social determinants to health for the Medi-Cal population. Partnership is the MCP provider for Shasta County.

On October 18, 2022, Council voted to accept funding through Partnership for HHIP incentive payments. Payments were received from Partnership in March 2023 and June 2023 - to date, the City has received $3,060,519 in incentive funds from Partnership.

Partnership has the opportunity to earn incentive payments with the achievement of specific State-established targets and reported metrics that measure the benefit to the homeless Medi-Cal member population in Shasta County. The reported metrics are related to DHCS goals and strategies for HHIP funds that include:
• Develop partnerships between MCPs and social service agencies, counties, public health agencies, and public and community-based housing agencies to address homelessness;
• Provide rapid rehousing for Medi-Cal families and youth, and interim housing for aging and disabled populations;
• Expand access to housing services and street medicine programs; • Improve access to coordinated housing, health and other social services; • Reduce avoidable use of costly health care services;
• Improve whole person health for Medi-Cal enrollees, including behavioral health treatment and resources; and
• Implement solutions that manage information to better identify populations of focus and Member needs.

Considering these strategies, pursuant to the MOU, HHIP funding was initially budgeted to fund categories that include: rapid rehousing; street outreach; services coordination; delivery of permanent housing; prevention and shelter diversion; interim sheltering; and data infrastructure/systems improvement. The MOU is attached for further reference. Modifications to these categories and budget would need to be mutually approved by Partnership and the City.

Attached is a copy of the request for proposals that was issued in July of 2023. The Council may wish to review this document and provide direction as to what changes are needed to meet the Council’s direction.

Given the City Council’s interest in this, and other like funding sources, Staff would recommend that the Council assign two of its members to serve as the rating and ranking committee to review and score any applications received.

Environmental Review
This is not a project as defined under California Environmental Quality Act, and no further action is required.

A. Intent of NOFA
The City of Redding (COR) Housing Division seeks proposals to improve infrastructure, and expand shelter, transitional or permanent housing opportunities, with associated supportive services, to Shasta County’s homeless population by providing funding to eligible organizations that have shown successful results combating this issue in our community.

The goals of the Program are to provide strategic investments that accomplish the following for Medi-Cal recipients (Members):
• To prevent or address the needs of persons experiencing homelessness. • To facilitate the reduction/elimination of homelessness by addressing the needs of those experiencing homelessness and linking them to housing services. • To work collaboratively with Partnership HealthPlan and other key partners to ensure:
- Members are linked to health care and housing services; - Members become successfully housed and remain successfully housed; and - Data collection and data sharing of information is used to better inform collective housing efforts.

B. Funds Available and Term of Engagement
The funds available for this NOFA are incentive payments known as Housing and Homeless Incentive Program (HHIP) funds, provided to the City by Partnership HealthPlan of California (PHC). The HHIP funds, as a means of addressing social determinants of health and health disparities, was developed to provide Medi-Cal Managed Care Plans (MCPs) the ability to partner with local jurisdictions to make investments and make progress in addressing homelessness and keeping people housed.

All successful applicants must be willing and able to meet the City of Redding’s contracting requirements as set forth in this NOFA and the subsequent contract for services. There is up to $2,800,000 in one-time funding available to support this initiative. The funds will not renew, so applicants must propose eligible projects that will quickly show results in assisting the targeted population and that can be continually sustained with other funds.

Depending upon the level of interest and activities proposed, COR anticipates funding no more than seven proposals. There is no maximum award amount.

All funds must be expended by December 31, 2025.

All awardees providing direct services to clients will be required to use the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) software system approved by the NorCal Continuum of Care to track outcome data for their awarded projects and utilize the associated Coordinated Entry System.

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Authorize and approve the following actions:
(1) Adopt Resolution approving a successor Memorandum of Understanding and salary exhibits with the Redding Police Managers Association (RPMA) for a three-year term beginning December 6, 2023, and ending December 5, 2026; and approving amendments to the RPMA Schedule of Salary Ranges effective December 10, 2023; and (2) Adopt Resolution approving amendments to the Executive Management Pay-ForPerformance Salary Plan (Unrepresented) providing salary range adjustments for unrepresented managers in the Redding Police and Fire Departments due to compression with subordinate classifications; and authorizing salary increases for the employees in those classifications, effective December 10, 2023.

Fiscal Impact
The proposed modifications to the RPMA Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) result in additional costs of approximately $438,000 per year upon full implementation. If approved, salary increases of seven percent – December 10, 2023; 2.5 percent – December 8, 2024; and 2.5 percent – December 7, 2025, which cost approximately $544,000 per year after full implementation.

These increases are offset by two concessions. First, the employee share of group health insurance costs will increase by five percent effective January 2024, resulting in approximate savings of $25,000 annually. The second concession requires employees to pay 50 percent of Normal Cost of the California Public Employees Retirement System (CalPERS), which includes an additional 1.87% percent for Tier 1 employees and an additional 1.61 percent for Tier 2 employees, resulting in an annual savings of approximately $80,000. Combined, the City will realize savings of approximately $1.1 million over ten years (roughly $265,000 during the term of the agreement).

***APPROVED BY***

SUBJECT: 9.15(b--Consider two Resolutions approving a successor Memorandum of Understanding and Salary Exhibits with the Redding Police Managers Association (RPMA) and approving amendments to the Executive Management Pay-For-Performance Salary Plan to address compression in the Fire and Police departments.

Kari Kibler, Personnel
Director
Packet Pg. 573
Report to Redding City Council November 30, 2023
Re: 9.15(b)--Resolutions RPMA MOU and Unrep Increase Page 2 The amended RPMA MOU total estimated cost (wage adjustments net of concessions) over the three-year term is approximately $814,000, which is entirely funded by the General Fund.

The proposed modifications to salaries for the Police Chief, Fire Chief, and Deputy Fire Chief positions result in additional costs of approximately $51,000 per year upon full implementation.

These costs are entirely funded by the General Fund.

Alternative Action
The City Council (Council) could decline to approve the MOU and salary exhibits, thereby returning the City of Redding’s (City) labor negotiation team to the bargaining table to continue the bargaining process with RPMA.

Further, the Council could choose not to approve the resolution amending the Executive Management Pay-For-Performance Salary Plan for Unrepresented Employees, and provide additional direction to staff.

Background/Analysis
The current RPMA MOU expired on November 30, 2023. Following comprehensive negotiations, RPMA ratified the proposal package on November 22, 2023. The proposed MOU would be effective December 6, 2023 through December 5, 2026.

A complete MOU, amended as proposed, is available online.

Major revisions of the proposal package include:

Term and Wages
Salary adjustments over the three-year term are as follows:
• Effective December 10, 2023, salaries will be increased seven percent; • Effective December 8, 2024, salaries will be increased 2.5 percent; and • Effective December 7, 2025, salaries will be increased 2.5 percent.

The recent contract with the Redding Peace Officers Association (RPOA) included wage increases, which are now compressing with RPMA positions. The recommended increases promote proper position relationships and succession planning within the Police Department, and also recognize the additional responsibility and knowledge associated with managing multiple specialty divisions.

Benefit Modifications
Group Health Program
• Effective Calendar Year 2024, the employee contribution to the City’s Group Health Insurance Base Plan will increase from 15 to 20 percent of monthly premium rate; and
Packet Pg. 574
Report to Redding City Council November 30, 2023
Re: 9.15(b)--Resolutions RPMA MOU and Unrep Increase Page 3 Retirement Changes
• Effective as soon as administratively feasible that the contract with CalPERS can be amended, RPMA Classic Tier 1 CalPERS members will begin paying an additional

1.87 percent and RPMA Classic Tier 2 CalPERS members will begin paying an additional 1.61 percent towards the City’s share of the retirement contribution towards the City’s share of the retirement contribution. This equates to 50 percent of the normal cost of the retirement benefit being paid by the employees.

Other
• The Juneteenth holiday will be observed in lieu of the existing Columbus Day holiday. • The Grievance Procedure was amended to remove redundant steps and separate disciplinary grievances from the existing grievance procedure as well as clarify existing procedure which includes a predisciplinary meeting with the Chief of Police. • A state mandated Reproductive Loss Leave of Absence provision was added. • There were additional revisions to incorporate existing side letters as well as other nonsubstantive revisions.

In addition to the adoption of the amended MOU and associated salary exhibits, staff recommend amendments to the Executive Management Pay-For-Performance Salary Plan (Unrepresented) providing classification-specific salary range adjustments for unrepresented managers in the Redding Police and Fire Departments. The proposed increases with RPMA as well as the recent increases with the Redding Fire Management Unit is causing compression with unrepresented classification in the Police and Fire Departments. Staff recommend increases to maintain proper position relationships and promote succession planning. The total increases amounts range from

6.56 percent to 15.8 percent, depending on classification, and will ensure that the staff in these positions maintain a minimum of ten percent compression above their next level subordinate.

Environmental Review
This is not a project defined under the California Environmental Quality Act, and no further action is required.

Council Priority/City Manager Goals

Packet Pg. 583 Attachment: ^Final RPMA MOU 2023-2026 (9.15(b)--Resolutions RPMA MOU and Unrep Increase) 5 (a) An Arbitrator shall be appointed on each occasion that a grievance is submitted to arbitration. The arbitrator shall be chosen by mutual agreement of the City and Grievant. In the event that City and the Grievant or their representatives are unable to agree on the selection of an Arbitrator within five (5) calendar days of the City’s receipt of a request by the Grievant to submit a grievance to arbitration, the City will solicit a list of five (5) arbitrators from SMCS. The City and the Grievant or their representative each will alternately challenge two (2) of such nominees, the party having the first challenge to be determined by lot. The remaining nominee shall be accepted as the Arbitrator and their compensation and expenses shall be borne equally by the City and the Grievant.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the City and the Grievant may, by mutual consent, agree on a single arbitrator to hear grievances, on the same cost-sharing basis. The City and the Grievant shall pay the compensation and expenses of their respective witnesses. At the Grievant’s or their representative’s request, the City shall release employees from duty to participate in arbitration proceedings. (b) The Arbitrator shall hold such hearings and shall consider such evidence as to the Arbitrator appears necessary and proper. The decision of the Arbitrator shall be final and binding on City and the Grievant, provided that such decision does not in any way add to, disregard or modify any of the provisions of City policies, resolutions or ordinances.

7.2 Failure by the Grievant to meet any of the aforementioned time limits as set forth in Steps 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 will result in forfeiture of the grievance. If the City fails to answer a grievance on a timely basis, the grievance may be advanced to the next step. Except, however, that the aforementioned time limits may be extended by mutual agreement. Grievances settled by forfeiture shall not bind either party to an interpretation of City policies, practices, resolutions or ordinances, nor shall such settlements be cited by either party as evidence in the settlement of subsequent grievances.

7.3 Notwithstanding the aforementioned procedure, any individual employee shall have the right to present grievances to the City and to have such grievances adjusted without the intervention of the Association, provided that the adjustment shall not be inconsistent with this Memorandum of Understanding, and further, provided that the Association shall be given an opportunity to be present at such adjustment. The Association shall not be liable for any costs of arbitration for any grievance that they are not representing the individual. Such costs shall be borne by the individual grievant.

ARTICLE 8: SAFETY

8.1 The City desires to maintain a safe place of employment for City employees and to that end City management shall make all reasonable provisions necessary for the safety of employees in the performance of their work.

Packet Pg. 584 Attachment: ^Final RPMA MOU 2023-2026 (9.15(b)--Resolutions RPMA MOU and Unrep Increase) 6 ARTICLE 9: INDUSTRIAL DISABILITY

9.1 An employee who is absent by reason of industrial disability may be returned to work by the City and given temporary light duties within the employee’s ability to perform, pursuant to the City’s Modified Duty Policy.

9.2 If a third party is found to be responsible for the employee’s industrial injury and the employee recovers a judgment in damages from said third party, then all supplemental benefits received not already repaid from the other sources shall be repaid to the City by the employee.

9.3 Vacation and sick leave shall accrue while an employee is absent from work and receiving the supplemental benefits as set forth in Section 4850 of the Labor Code of the State of California. Regular employees while receiving Workers’ Compensation temporary disability benefits, may, at their option, maintain their group health and welfare insurance coverage for up to a maximum of a cumulative total of five (5) years, which includes one (1) year of 4850 paid time, providing the employee pays his or her share of the monthly premium to the City of Redding City Treasurer on or before the first day of the month for which the premium is intended.

ARTICLE 10: EMPLOYEE STATUS

10.1 Employees will be designated as Regular or Temporary, depending upon the purpose for which they are hired and their length of continuous service with the City.

10.2 A Regular employee (Status 3) is defined as an employee hired for a full-time position that has been regularly established as an authorized position and is of indeterminate duration. A Regular employee shall receive not less than the minimum rate for the job and shall be eligible for sick leave pay, vacation pay, holiday pay, retirement plan participation, health and welfare insurance coverage as the employee becomes eligible.

10.3 A Temporary employee (Status 9) is defined as an employee hired for temporary, occasional or seasonal work for a period not to exceed 1,000 hours in a fiscal year. A Temporary employee shall receive not less than the minimum rate for the job, but shall not be eligible for sick leave pay, holiday pay, vacation pay, or items of a similar nature, nor shall the employee be eligible for health and welfare insurance coverage or retirement plan participation, nor shall the employee accrue seniority, or promotion and transfer rights, or leave of absence rights. If a Temporary employee moves to another status, the employee shall not be credited with the employee’s service as a Temporary employee in determining eligibility for benefits.

10.4 Probationary Periods: Regular employees shall serve a probationary period of one (1) year upon initial appointment to each status. Such probationary period is considered to be a continuation of the selection process and employees may be terminated from employment or demoted without recourse, pursuant to the grievance procedure. An employee’s probationary period shall be extended by the duration of any paid or unpaid absence of two (2) or more consecutive pay periods. Probationary employees shall be evaluated after six (6) months of service and as often as determined by the employee’s Supervisor. The probationary period will start over for any employee who transfers to another position during the probationary period. The probationary period may be extended in circumstances where further evaluation of the employee is Packet Pg. 585 Attachment: ^Final RPMA MOU 2023-2026 (9.15(b)--Resolutions RPMA MOU and Unrep Increase) 7 necessary. Temporary employees do not serve a probationary period, as the appointment is temporary by definition and can be terminated at any time.

10.5 Re-employment: With the recommendation of the Chief of Police and approval of the Personnel Director, a past employee who both passed the probationary period and resigned in good standing may be re-employed within two (2) years of the effective date of resignation, to a vacant position in the same classification. Such re-employment shall, for all purposes, be considered as though it were an original appointment. The reinstated employee shall serve a new probationary period.

ARTICLE 11: COMPENSATION AND CLASSIFICATIONS

11.1 Consistent with principles of public accountability, employees shall be paid the salary established for their classification. Attached hereto and made a part hereof is Exhibit “A” titled “Schedule of Salary Ranges”. Upon initial appointment to a classification, an employee shall normally be paid the lowest salary rate for that classification. An employee may, however, be paid a salary rate above the lowest salary rate if circumstances justify it. When an employee is appointed to a higher paid classification, the employee shall be paid at the salary rate of the classification to which the employee is being appointed, which is at least five percent (5%) more than the employee’s present salary rate, but not more than the top salary rate of the classification to which the employee is appointed.

11.2 The effective date of any salary rate shall be the first day of the pay period closest to the anniversary of an employee’s employment date, following qualification for the new rate.

Effective April 21, 2021, any future promotion or change in assignment to a higher paid classification pursuant to Section 15.1, does not change the anniversary date for Compensation increases. A full pay period as used herein is defined as one in which the employee works or is paid for at least half of the regularly scheduled work hours.

11.3 Salaries shall be paid at bi-weekly intervals by direct deposit on Thursdays at the end of the employee’s work period after 12:00 noon for a pay period ending no earlier than the preceding Saturday. If a payday falls on a fixed holiday, payments shall be made on the preceding workday.

11.4 When an employee is temporarily assigned to work in a lower-paid classification than the employee’s normal classification, the employee’s salary will not be reduced.

11.5 Whenever a Regular employee temporarily is assigned by the City to replace an absent employee in a higher-paid classification and the employee performs a substantial majority (greater than fifty percent (50%)) of the absent employee’s duties for a full work day, such employee shall have their salary rate increased by five percent (5%), but not to exceed the range of the higher class. Approval is required by the Chief of Police.

11.6 When an employee covered by the provisions of this agreement is temporarily assigned to and performs all of the duties of a vacant position in a higher classification for a period that extends beyond one full pay period, and whose salary range is at least five (5%) percent higher than the range of the employee’s regular classification, that employee shall be Packet Pg. 586 Attachment: ^Final RPMA MOU 2023-2026 (9.15(b)--Resolutions RPMA MOU and Unrep Increase) 8 compensated at the lowest step in the higher classification that provides an increase to the assigned employee of at least five (5%) percent. Chief of Police and Personnel Director approvals are required.

11.7 Shift differential shall be paid as follows:

SHIFT PAY PERCENTAGE
Graveyard 5%
Swings 3.5%

11.8 POST and educational incentives shall be paid to those employees who qualify as follows, with a 12.5% incentive pay cap for both POST/educational incentives in this section and Bilingual pay incentives in Section 11.11 below (not including the $130 education incentive pay), and be included in the regular rate of pay:

PAY REQUIREMENTS

2.5% Plus $130* Associate of Arts or Science degree, or sixty (60) semester units, or a POST Intermediate Certificate.

5.0% Plus $130* POST Advanced Certificate.

2.5% Plus $130* Bachelor of Arts or Science degree.

2.5% Plus $130* Master’s degree, POST Command College or FBI National Academy.

The annual additional educational incentive shall be $130 to be paid in equally divided installments with the City’s regular bi-weekly payroll processing. The additional education incentive will be added to any one (1) educational incentive pay.

11.9 The City Manager may, based upon outstanding job performance, grant an exempt employee a one-time salary increase up to ten percent (10%) above the top of the salary range for a period not to exceed one (1) year. This one time increase is not cumulative and the employee would revert to the employee’s regular salary rate at the end of the one year period.

11.10 The parties agree to meet and discuss compensation during the term of this agreement should the top of the salary range differential between Police Corporal and Police Sergeant increase or decrease by more than 3.5 % at the expiration of either this agreement or the expiration of any MOU between the City and the Redding Peace Officers Association during the term of this agreement.

11.11 Bilingual pay shall be paid to qualified employees who have been designated by the Chief of Police, or designee, to utilize bilingual skills (including sign language) as follows and be included in the regular rate of pay:

PAY REQUIREMENTS

2.5% Proficient

5.0% Fluent
The Redding Police Department will designate the languages recognized as eligible for the Packet Pg. 587 Attachment: ^Final RPMA MOU 2023-2026 (9.15(b)--Resolutions RPMA MOU and Unrep Increase) 9 incentive pay and will develop revised testing processes. The Chief of Police will determine the number of employees at the “fluent” level.

11.12 Temporary upgrade pay in the amount of five percent (5%) over base pay shall be paid to those Sergeants and Lieutenants assigned by the Chief of Police, via a Personnel Order, for the time spent actually performing designated specialty assignment functions. Examples of these assignments include the following: crowd control, defensive tactics, bomb disposal, field evidence, field training officer, hostage negotiator, honor guard, range master, SWAT, armorer, certified department instructor, i.e., first aid, force options, TASER, Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), etc. Assignments not mentioned above shall require the advance approval of the Personnel Director.

ARTICLE 12: HOURS AND OVERTIME

12.1 All Regular employees will receive full time employment for each workweek employed, provided they report for duty and are capable of performing their work. This is not to be interpreted that the City does not retain the right to lay off or release employees on account of lack of work or other valid reason at the end of the workweek.

12.2 A workweek is defined to consist of seven (7) consecutive calendar days, Sunday through Saturday, and employees will be assigned work schedules consistent with department needs, which include the following work schedules:
• Eight (8) hour shifts, which constitute five 8-hour workdays in a 7-day work period
• Ten (10) hour shifts, which constitute four 10-hour workdays in a 7-day work period; and
• Twelve and a half (12.5) hour shifts, which constitute six 12.5-hour workdays in a 14-day work period with an additional 10-hour shift every other 14-day work period.

Police Sergeants assigned to Field Operations shall select watch and days off by seniority, which, for this purpose, shall be defined as time in grade with the Police Department. The basic workweek may begin on any day of the week or at any hour of the day during the workweek. Shift employees may be assigned any hour and/or days of work. The basic workweek indicated above may be modified by mutual agreement of the City and the affected employee(s) in those situations where such a modification serves the interest of both the City and its employees.

12.3 Exempt employees, who as a result of their exempt status are not eligible for overtime pay or compensatory time off, will not have their leave balances (vacation, sick leave, etc.) reduced for absences of less than four hours. Direct supervisor approval is required.

12.4 Overtime and Regular Rate of Pay
Packet Pg. 588 Attachment: ^Final RPMA MOU 2023-2026 (9.15(b)--Resolutions RPMA MOU and Unrep Increase) 10 (a) Overtime. Exempt employees shall not receive any compensation for overtime work, except for employees who are eligible to receive one and one-half (1½) times their regular pay when assigned to perform service on a non-work day or beyond normal work hours.

The foregoing provision shall only apply when such service is eligible for reimbursement through the State of California or the Federal government, regardless of the actual amount reimbursed to the City, if any. This provision shall also apply to hours worked on programs that are pre-approved for funding through a State or Federal grant if a supervisor’s service is required by the grant or by police management. In either case, police management must approve the overtime prior to the employee being eligible for the overtime.
(b) Regular Rate of Pay. Items included in determining the regular rate of pay for purposes of calculating overtime, retirement and other regular pay calculations (i.e. holiday pay) shall include the pay rate as established in the pay range by the employee’s classification, education incentive pay, bilingual pay incentive, and shift differential pay, as applicable to each individual employee covered under this MOU.

ARTICLE 13: ADMINISTRATIVE LEAVE

13.1 In recognition of the inapplicability of additional compensation, specifically overtime and compensatory time off, exempt employees may be eligible for up to forty (40) hours paid administrative leave per calendar year with Chief of Police approval and up to eighty (80) hours paid administrative leave per calendar year with City Manager approval. Administrative leave is granted on the payroll period closest to January 1 and must be used by the end of the last pay period in December of each year or time is forfeited without compensation. Employees are to schedule administrative leave in the same manner as vacation with the approval of the Chief of Police. Employees appointed to an exempt position after the first of the year may be granted leave on a prorated basis. Administrative leave balances may be adjusted when employees separate employment prior to the end of the calendar year.

For Sergeants assigned to Investigations and Traffic only, up to one hundred (100) hours may be granted per year upon the recommendation of the Chief of Police, and will be subject to City Manager approval. Such recommendations and approval will be based on demonstrable and extraordinary workload changes due to the unique nature of these assignments.

ARTICLE 14: SENIORITY

14.1 Seniority is defined as total length of continuous service with the City. In determining an employee’s seniority, the continuity of this service will be deemed to be broken by termination of employment by reason of (1) resignation, (2) discharge for cause, (3) layoff, (4) failure to return immediately on the expiration of a leave of absence or acceptance of other full time employment while on leave, and (5) unexcused absence without pay, without a leave of absence.

Continuity of service will not be broken and seniority will accrue when an employee is (a) inducted, enlists or is called to active duty in the Armed Forces of the United States or service in the Merchant Marine or under any Act of Congress which provides that the employee is entitled to reemployment rights, (b) on duty with the National Guard, (c) absent due to industrial injury, or (d) Packet Pg. 589 Attachment: ^Final RPMA MOU 2023-2026 (9.15(b)--Resolutions RPMA MOU and Unrep Increase) 11 on leave of absence. Seniority, as defined in this section, does not apply to preference for shift scheduling or vacation scheduling.

ARTICLE 15: PROMOTION AND TRANSFER

15.1 All promotions and transfers shall be in accordance with standards and procedures as determined by the City.

15.2 Promotional appointments will be probationary for one (1) full year. If the probationary period is not successfully completed, the employee shall be returned to the classification from which they were promoted; provided, however, that such return rights do not apply to an employee who was discharged for cause while serving a probationary period.

ARTICLE 16: DEMOTION AND LAYOFF

16.1 When it becomes necessary for the City to lay off Regular employees, the City will give employees involved as much notice as possible, but in no event will such employees receive less than two (2) weeks’ notice of layoff. Where Temporary employees are to be laid off, no notice of layoff need be given. Within each classification, all employees, other than Regular employees, shall be laid off prior to Regular employees being laid off. Employees serving an initial probationary period will be laid off prior to employees who have completed such period. Regular employees shall be laid off in the reverse order of seniority in the classification with the least senior employee being laid off first. Whenever two or more Regular employees in the same class have the same amount of class seniority, ties will be broken by giving greater preference to the employee with greater department seniority. If the tie is still unresolved, the tie shall be broken by giving greater preference to the employee with greater City seniority. If the tie is still unresolved, the tie shall be broken by lot.

16.2 An employee who has been laid off may elect to displace an employee in a lower paid class in the bargaining unit provided the employee has greater combined seniority than the employee to be displaced, calculated by adding seniority in the laid-off class to seniority in the lower-paid class. Whenever an employee demotes to a lower-paid class, the employee shall be placed within the salary range for the new class and closest to the employee’s previous salary rate.

16.3 Laid-off employees shall be kept on a reemployment list for a period of two (2) years from the date of layoff, and shall have preferential rehire rights to the class from which the employee was laid off in the reverse order of layoff. Whenever it becomes necessary for the City to notify a laid-off-employee of a reemployment opportunity, the City shall do so by use of registered mail to the employee’s last known address as supplied by the employee. Reemployment shall be based upon the laid-off employee’s ability to meet current employment standards. If an employee does not accept reemployment, the employee’s name shall be removed from the reemployment list and the employee shall no longer have reemployment rights. If a laid-off employee is subsequently re-hired off a reemployment list into a classification covered under the terms of this Memorandum of Understanding, the employee’s unpaid sick leave balance, original hire date, and vacation accrual rate will be reinstated.

Packet Pg. 590 Attachment: ^Final RPMA MOU 2023-2026 (9.15(b)--Resolutions RPMA MOU and Unrep Increase) 12 16.4 Sworn departmental management classifications may demote into the Redding Peace Officers Association bargaining unit.

16.5 In the event of potential layoffs, discussions will occur outside of the meet and confer process as to early retirement options that may be available.

ARTICLE 17: LEAVES

17.1 A leave of absence may be granted to employees by the City Manager for urgent and substantial reasons, up to a maximum of one year, providing satisfactory arrangements can be made to perform the employee’s duties without undue interference with the normal routine of work.

Employees in an initial probationary period or Temporary status are not eligible for leave of absence.

17.1(a) A leave will commence on and include the first workday on which the employee is absent and terminates with and includes the workday preceding the day the employee returns to work.

17.1(b) All applications for leave of absence shall be made in writing except when the employee is unable to do so. The conditions under which an employee will be restored to employment on the termination of leave of absence shall be clearly stated by the City in conjunction with the granting of a leave of absence. An employee is required to submit medical certifications as to the conditions necessitating the leave if the leave is a result of exhaustion of sick leave. If the leave should exceed the initial request, the employee is responsible for requesting additional time off and providing current medical certifications and return to work dates. Inability to return to work after an employee’s sick leave has been exhausted will be considered with state and federal disability accommodation and leave of absence laws in determining whether to grant the leave of absence.

Upon an employee’s return to work after a leave of absence, the employee will be reinstated to the employee’s former position and working conditions, providing that the employee is capable of performing the duties of the employee’s former position, except that if there has been a reduction of forces or the employee’s position has been eliminated during said leave, the employee will be returned to the position the employee would be in, had the employee not been on a leave of absence.

17.1(c) An employee’s status as a Regular employee will not be impaired by a leave of absence and the employee’s seniority will accrue.

17.1(d) If an employee fails to return immediately on the expiration of the employee’s leave of absence or if the employee accepts other employment without prior City approval while on leave, the employee will thereby forfeit the leave of absence and employment with the City may be terminated.

17.1(e) An employee on a leave of absence as provided herein shall not accrue vacation or sick leave benefits nor maintain group health and welfare insurance coverage. An employee may, if eligible, maintain group health and welfare insurance coverage at the employee’s expense providing the full monthly premium is received by the City Treasurer before the first day of the month for which the premium is intended. Notwithstanding the above, however, if the leave of Packet Pg. 591 Attachment: ^Final RPMA MOU 2023-2026 (9.15(b)--Resolutions RPMA MOU and Unrep Increase) 13 absence is as a result of exhaustion of sick leave benefits an employee’s group health and welfare insurance may be maintained for up to three (3) calendar months in one twelve month period on the normal premium-sharing formula, providing the employee pays the employee’s share of the premium on a timely basis.

17.2 Family and medical leave for employees shall be administered in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), 29 USC Section 2601 et seq., and the provisions of the California Family Rights Act (CFRA), Code of Regulations, Title 2, Division 4, Section 7297.0 et seq., as may be amended from time to time.

17.3 Pregnancy Disability Leave shall be administered in accordance with the provisions of California Code of Regulations, Title 2, Division 4, Section 7291.2 et seq.

17.4 Reproductive Loss Leave of Absences: Employees who are absent from work due to a reproductive loss event are eligible for up to five (5) days of protected leave per event, subject to a maximum of twenty (20) days in a 12-month period. “Reproductive loss event” is defined as “the day or, for multiple day events, the final day, of a failed adoption, failed surrogacy or unsuccessful assisted reproduction.” The reproductive loss leave is unpaid; however, employees may use available accrued paid leave such as vacation, sick time, deferred time off, compensatory time off, etc. The reproductive loss leave must be taken within three (3) months of the reproductive loss event, but the leave days do not need to be consecutive.

17.5 Vacation Donation Program:
(A) This program has been established to allow employees to donate accrued vacation hours to an eligible employee in need. The purpose of this program is to provide a means by which the eligible employee may obtain authorized paid time off. Employees eligible for the program must:
• Be a Regular employee already having completed an initial probationary period; • Have a verifiable long-term illness or injury (non-work related). For this program, long term is defined as no less than four (4) weeks in duration. It is the employee’s responsibility to complete and return a Request for Donation form to the Personnel Department and attach to it a letter from a licensed physician certifying that the employee has a long-term illness or disabling injury of at least a four-week duration; • Have exhausted all accrued leaves, including advanced sick leave benefits, resulting in the employee being in an unpaid status if on approved leave; • The employee is not eligible for long-term disability insurance benefits; • Have the concurrence of the Chief of Police and Personnel Director. (B) Once an employee is determined eligible, a posting will be distributed and use of the donated hours will start as soon as possible.
(C) When utilizing the donation program, recipients shall receive their regular rate of pay, as if being on paid leave status. The benefit shall be payable on regularly scheduled paydays.

A minimum of twenty (20) hours per week must be utilized when there are available balances. As Packet Pg. 592 Attachment: ^Final RPMA MOU 2023-2026 (9.15(b)--Resolutions RPMA MOU and Unrep Increase) 14 with paid leave status, recipients shall continue to be eligible to participate in the group health and welfare benefits provided by the City.

ARTICLE 18: EXPENSES

18.1 Reimbursement for expenses incurred while conducting City business, i.e., traveling to authorized meetings, seminars, training sessions, luncheons and other events approved by the Chief of Police shall be in accordance with the provisions established in the City Council resolution for Unrepresented employees.

18.2 The City shall pay the reasonable cost of repair or a prorated replacement of uniforms, glasses, watches or other personal property up to three hundred dollars ($300.00) damaged in the course of employment. Personal property will be limited to items reasonably necessary for the employee to have while on duty to perform their job function. This provision does not apply to items lost or damaged as a result of negligence of the employee.

ARTICLE 19: SICK LEAVE

19.1 Sick leave with pay shall be accumulated for each Regular employee at the rate of forty six thousandths (.046) of an hour for each regular hour worked, or on paid leave. (Accrual rate approximately one (1) day per month, or 3.68 hours per pay period.)

19.2 Sick leave shall be allowed for a non-work related absence due to:

A The inability of an employee to be present or perform his or her duties because of personal physical or mental illness, off duty injury or confinement for medical treatment B The ability to attend personal medical or dental appointments, which are impractical to schedule outside of regular working hours.

C
The need to be present during childbirth, surgery, critical illness or injury involving members of the immediate family as defined in 20.1, for up to forty (40) hours per incident.

D For family sick leave up to forty-eight (48) hours per calendar year for members of the immediate family as defined in 20.1.

No person will be paid both sick leave and industrial injury leave pursuant to Labor Code Section 4850 on the same day; however, in cases of claimed industrial injuries where the City or its insurer is denying liability, accumulated sick leave may be used.

19.3 Management may require satisfactory evidence of sickness or disability, if an attendance problem has been identified as defined in the City’s Discipline Policy, before payment for sick leave will be made. The City may also require an employee requesting to return to work after sick leave or leave of absence for medical reasons to submit to a medical examination at City expense by a physician or physicians approved by City for the purpose of determining that such employee is fit and able to perform the duties of the employee’s former position without hazard to the employee, fellow employees, or the employee’s own permanent health.

Packet Pg. 593 Attachment: ^Final RPMA MOU 2023-2026 (9.15(b)--Resolutions RPMA MOU and Unrep Increase) 15 19.4 In the event an employee exhausts all paid leave as a result of an illness or injury, and subject to the approval of the Chief of Police and Personnel Director, such employee may be advanced sick leave from the employee’s future accruals up to 80 hours. Once the employee returns to duty, sick leave accrual hours will be applied to the negative sick leave account until it is zero. Should the employee terminate City employment with a negative sick leave balance appropriate adjustments would be made to final paid leave cash pay-outs or other City monies owed the employee. If insufficient funds are due to the employee by the City, the employee shall directly reimburse the City for advanced sick leave in excess of the funds, if any, previously withheld. Such direct reimbursement will be waived for employees who are terminally ill or totally disabled (100%).

19.5 Any employee who after ten (10) years but less than fifteen (15) years of continuous service to the City terminates employment shall be paid at the employee’s regular pay rate for thirty-three and one-third percent (33 1/3%%) of the employee’s accumulated sick leave hours. For employees with fifteen (15) years but less than twenty (20) years of service, the percentage set forth above shall be increased to forty-five percent (45%). For employees with twenty (20) years or more service, the percentage set forth above shall be increased to sixty percent (60%).

19.6 Effective January 1, 2011, upon retirement, any sick leave pay out the employee is eligible to receive will be transferred into the VantageCare Retirement Health Savings Plan on a pre-tax basis. The sick leave pay out amount will be calculated using the percentage levels described in Section 19.65 above. However, if the sick leave payout is less than $5,000, then the employee is not entitled to participate in the VantageCare Retirement Health Savings Plan and shall receive a cash payout as described in Section 19.65 above. Any sick leave amount remaining will be used as service credit toward the employee’s retirement benefit through CalPERS, pursuant to the contract between the City of Redding and CalPERS.

ARTICLE 20: BEREAVEMENT LEAVE

20.1 Regular employees who are absent from work due to the death of a member of the employee’s immediate family shall receive compensation at the regular rate of pay for the time necessary to be absent from work, but not to exceed forty (40) working hours. Immediate family as used herein includes only employee’s spouse or registered domestic partner, children (including miscarriages and stillbirths), grandchildren, brothers, sisters, parents, or grandparents of either employee or spouse or other persons who are living in the employee’s immediate household. The relationships included herein shall apply whether by blood or marriage. Employees are allowed to take up to five (5) total work days due to the death of the employee’s “immediate family” in accordance with Government Code section 12945.7. Employees who have exhausted their allowance of paid leave as provided in this section may request to utilize sick leave, vacation or compensatory time off or unpaid leave if the employee wants to take additional time off up to the five (5) total work days of leave provided. Such bereavement leave for immediate family as provided in this section need not be taken in consecutive days, but must be used up within three (3) months of the date of the death of the immediate family member.

20.2 Regular employees who are absent from work to attend the funeral of a person other than an immediate family member, who has some reasonable association to the employee (i.e., friend or acquaintance), shall receive compensation at the regular rate of pay for the time necessary Packet Pg. 594 Attachment: ^Final RPMA MOU 2023-2026 (9.15(b)--Resolutions RPMA MOU and Unrep Increase) 16 to be absent from work, but not to exceed one (1) regularly scheduled work day. A maximum of twenty-four (24) hours may be utilized for this type of leave in a calendar year.

20.3 An employee must be in a paid status on both scheduled workdays immediately adjacent to bereavement leave in order to receive pay for such leave.

ARTICLE 21: HOLIDAYS

ARTICLE 26: GROUP HEALTH AND WELFARE BENEFIT PROGRAM

26.1 Regular employees are eligible to participate in a group health and welfare insurance benefit program, which includes the medical, prescription, dental, vision, life and long term disability insurance plans, effective the first day of employment. The City shall pay the cost of the program for both employees and dependents as indicated below:
(A) Life Insurance: Twice annual salary for employee, $3,000 for employee’s dependents. More specific information is provided in the carrier’s booklet. The City will pay the full cost of the premiums.
(B) Health Benefits: The City offers two health plans, a “Base Plan” and an optional “Premium Plan”. All eligible employees will be enrolled in the “Base Plan” and will have the option on a voluntary basis to enroll in the “Premium Plan” initially, and during the open enrollment period for each subsequent calendar year. Eligible employees that fail to complete the annual open enrollment will automatically be placed in the group health insurance plan they were enrolled in the previous year. Changes will be effective at the beginning of the following calendar year. The City’s contribution toward the monthly group health and welfare insurance composite premium rate for the “Base Plan” shall be eighty-five percent (85%) and the employee will pay fifteen percent (15%) of the premium rate through a bi-weekly payroll deduction. Employees electing to enroll in the “Premium Plan” will be responsible for premiums beyond the City’s contribution of 85% of the “Base Plan” composite rate. A Section 125 Plan has been established to redirect the portion of the employee’s salary to pay, on a pre-tax basis, the employee’s contribution toward the medical, prescription, dental and vision insurance composite premium rate.

Effective Calendar Year 2024, all employees participating in the Group Health and Welfare Insurance Plan will pay twenty percent (20%) co-share of premium.

All active employees are also able to select an optional high deductible plan (medical and prescription only) as an additional lower cost option for group health. The City will contribute a Packet Pg. 599 Attachment: ^Final RPMA MOU 2023-2026 (9.15(b)--Resolutions RPMA MOU and Unrep Increase) 21 flat rate monthly amount, limited to the amount of the City’s contribution toward the “Base Plan” for the high deductible plan. Retirees are not eligible for the high deductible plan.

In an effort to minimize the impact of annual composite premium increases/decreases for the employee, the rate change will be limited to a maximum of twelve and one-half percent (12 ½%) per year (or the actual percent increase in actual costs from the previous calendar year, whichever is lower).

In the event the composite premium rate change is less than 12½%, the employee’s percent of the rate shall be the actual percent change unless costs from the year before need to be made up. The rate change will be limited to a maximum of twelve and one-half percent (12 ½%) of the “Base Plan” per year (or the actual percent increase in actual costs from the previous calendar year, whichever is lower). The Association and the City agree that costs not made up prior to the end of this Agreement shall be made up in the successive Agreement.

For specifics regarding the City’s Group Health and Welfare Benefit Plan, refer to the Benefit Summary Plan Description.

The City reserves the right to modify the group insurance composite rate structure to establish classes of coverage and rates in an effort to create a rate structure more compatible to employee claims experience. The City and the Association agree to meet and confer prior to any changes being made to the group insurance composite rate structure.

Employees with spousal coverage will be allowed to “opt out” of the City’s group health and welfare insurance coverage (cease paying their share of the premium). Employees “opting out” of the City’s group health benefits must provide proof of alternative health care coverage on an annual basis during the open enrollment period.

The City and the Union recognize that it is the on-going plan of the City that all bargaining units will have the same group insurance benefits. (C) Prescription Benefit: Employee co-payments as shown in the following table:

Note: Maintenance medications (i.e. a medication taken longer than 60 days) that are filled at the retail co-pay amount more than twice will be filled at the mail order co-pay amount.

To initially qualify for the benefit, the employee must go directly from active status to retiree status with CalPERS. To maintain a qualified status and to continue to receive the benefit, the retired employee must continue the group medical insurance during retirement without a break in coverage. Payments by the City will be discontinued upon termination of group medical insurance coverage by the City retiree or loss of qualified status by the retiree.

Following the death of a retiree, the surviving spouse, if any, may continue the insurance and the City will continue the benefit on the same terms and conditions for the life of the surviving spouse. The City will not contribute payments on behalf of any retiree hired prior to May 13, 2012, except as set forth above.

All active employees hired after May 13, 2012, who retire from the City with five (5) or more years of City service (and eligible for CalPERS benefits upon separation of service) shall be eligible for the City to pay a proportionate share of costs of the insurance premium should the retiring employee elect to participate in any group health, dental and vision plan also made available to active employees.

To maintain a qualified status, and to continue to receive the benefit, the retired employee, and their covered spouses who reach Medicare A/B eligibility age must enroll in Medicare. For those retirees who qualify, the City shall pay a proportionate share of the cost of the insurance premiums in accordance with the following formula: 2% for every year of service with the City of Redding up to a maximum of 50%. Payments by the City will be discontinued upon termination of group medical insurance coverage by the City retiree or loss of qualified status by the retiree. The City will not contribute payments on behalf of any retiree except as set forth above. Following the death of a retiree the surviving spouse, if any, may continue the insurance and the City will continue the benefit on the same terms and conditions Packet Pg. 601 Attachment: ^Final RPMA MOU 2023-2026 (9.15(b)--Resolutions RPMA MOU and Unrep Increase) 23 for the life of the surviving spouse. (Employees who retired prior to July 1, 1998, are eligible for health coverage only).

Retiring employees who were hired or who worked under a different Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) or City Resolution (a different bargaining unit) shall receive the greatest retiree premium co-share formula in effect and for which that employee qualified for during his or her term of employment.

Beginning Calendar Year 2013, the City will offer two health plans, a “Base Plan” and an optional “Premium Plan”. All retired employees participating in the group health plan will be enrolled in the “Base Plan” and will have the option on a voluntary basis to enroll in the “Premium Plan” initially, and during the open enrollment period for each subsequent calendar year. Changes will be effective at the beginning of the following calendar year. The City shall pay a proportionate share of the cost of the “Base Plan” insurance premiums as outlined above.

Participating retired employees electing to enroll in the “Premium Plan” will be responsible for premiums beyond the City’s contribution of the “Base Plan” composite rate.

26.3 The City and the Association agree to meet and discuss during the term of this Agreement the recommendations of the Health Insurance Task Force.

26.4 Regular employees are eligible to participate in the City’s Deferred Compensation Plan through voluntary payroll deductions from the employee’s pay.

26.5 The City offers the VantageCare Retiree Health Savings Plan to Regular employees.

Effective as soon as administratively feasible following the effective date of this MOU, the City will deduct 1% of gross taxable earnings, per pay period, pre-tax, from each members’ compensation and transmit the funds to the VantageCare Retirement Health Saving Plan (RHS).

In addition, any eligible sick leave pay out made upon retirement of RPMA members will be contributed to the VantageCare RHS per Section 19.6.

26.6 The City and Union agree to reopen negotiations if any changes to the Affordable Care Act affect matters within the scope of representation.

Attachment: ^Final RPMA MOU 2023-2026 (9.15(b)--Resolutions RPMA MOU and Unrep Increase) I. POLICY
It is the policy of the City of Redding (City) to foster and provide a drug and alcohol-free workplace for all employees. A drug and alcohol-free workplace protects the safety of the public as well as the City=s valuable employee resources.

A. POLICY PHILOSOPHY
Police department employees represent the City to the general public in highly visible and often stressful situations. As a result, police officers must make critical decisions that affect both public safety and the safety of fellow employees.

Because the role of law enforcement is so crucial to the general welfare of the community, it is held to a higher standard of scrutiny and conduct than the general public. This is particularly important in the use of alcohol or drugs. Consequently, substance abuse cannot be tolerated by members of this Department.

B. POLICY PURPOSES
The purposes of the City=s Substance Abuse Policy are:

1. To implement a fair and balanced approach to eliminating substance abuse and its effects on job performance;

2. To encourage voluntary rehabilitation.

C. APPLICATION OF POLICY
This policy shall apply to all employees in the RPMA bargaining unit of the Police Department.

D. GUIDING PRINCIPLES
There are three guiding principles underlying the City=s policy on a drug and alcoholfree workplace. They are:

1. Education
The City believes that education and training of all employees in the effects and treatment of substance abuse will contribute to a safer and more efficient workplace for everyone.
