Background:
Measure
C
On December 15, 1980, the City Council of the City of Rocklin adopted Resolution No. 80-117 declaring the passing of “Measure C” related to Rocklin Police Department salaries and set Municipal Ordinance 2.48, which states:
The Council shall, on January 1st annually, determine the existing average salaries for the Auburn Police Department, Lincoln Police Department, Roseville Police Department, and Placer County Sheriff's Office, operating within the county of Placer for each class of position employed by those agencies. Effective February 1, 1981, and effective February 1st of each year thereafter, the Council shall adjust and determine that the average salary for each class of position in the Rocklin Police Department as set forth in this chapter is at least equal to the average of the salaries for the comparable positions in the Auburn Police Department, Lincoln Police Department, Roseville Police Department, and Placer County Sheriff's Office.
Rocklin Municipal Code 2.48 includes the following classifications: Sergeant, Police Officer, Dispatch Supervisor (Public Safety Dispatcher Supervisor), and Dispatch Clerk (Public Safety Dispatcher II). The Human Resources Division (HR) conducted a base salary study of the comparable positions and a summary of the study results is below:

Based on the results of the study, HR staff recommends that the City Council receive and accept this report as a determination that the average salaries for each class as set forth in Rocklin Municipal Code 2.48 is at least equal to the average of the salaries for the comparable positions in the Auburn Police Department, Lincoln Police Department, Roseville Police Department, and Placer County Sheriff's Office. Therefore, no additional action is required.
Bargaining Unit Changes
Confidential Group to AFSCME Bargaining Unit
HR staff recommends reallocating and transferring two (2) encumbered Senior Department Administrative Specialist allocations (positions #522 and #21) from the Confidential group to the AFSCME bargaining unit. This request is justified based on a detailed review of both incumbents’ duties and responsibilities and discussions with each department director. HR confirmed that the incumbents in positions 522 and 21 are not performing duties consistent with the Employer-Employee Resolution; Section 2 Definitions, which notes that “Confidential Employee”
is defined as an employee who regularly participates in, has knowledge of, or access to, decisions of City management affecting employer-employee relations .
For this reason, it is recommended that the positions be removed from the Confidential unit.
Classification titles are not shared between the Confidential Unit and AFSCME; therefore, the positions will be reclassified from Senior Department Administrative Specialist to Administrative Assistant. The salary range for the Administrative Assistant is lower than the Senior Department Administrative Specialist; therefore, HR recommends the current incumbents’ salaries be Y-rated in accordance with City of Rocklin Personnel Rule 3-01(10).
Title 2 of the California Code of Regulations, section 570.5 requires the City's salary schedules to be adopted at a public meeting. As such, staff recommends adopting a Y-rated salary schedule for the Administrative Assistant classification salary ($84.089).
Staff further recommends deleting the Senior Department Administrative Specialist classification from the Confidential Salary Schedule since it will no longer be used.
Allocation Changes:
Community Development
Delete 1.0 FTE Senior Department Administrative Specialist and add 1.0 FTE Administrative Assistant
308
Parks and Recreation
Delete 1.0 FTE Senior Department Administrative Specialist and add 1.0 FTE Administrative Assistant
AFSCME Bargaining Unit to Confidential Group
HR recommends reallocating and transferring one (1) Information Technology Analyst (position #62) from the AFSCME bargaining unit to the Confidential group. This request is justified based on a detailed review of the duties and responsibilities and discussion with the Information Technology Manager. Given such, position 62 is performing duties consistent with the Employer-Employee Resolution; Section 2 Definitions, which notes that “Confidential Employee”
is defined as an employee who regularly participates in, has knowledge of, or access to, decisions of City management affecting employer-employee relations .
HR staff has satisfied the meet and confer obligation with AFCME regarding the proposed changes in accordance with the City of Rocklin Employee-Employer Resolution.
Fiscal Impact:
Measure C: The staff recommendation is cost-neutral and has no direct fiscal impacts on the General Fund.
Confidential to AFSCME Bargaining Unit Change: The staff recommendation is cost-neutral and have no direct fiscal impacts on the General Fund.
AFSCME Bargaining Unit to Confidential Change: The fiscal impact to the General Fund from the staff recommendation is expected to be an increase of approximately $2,390. This amount will be offset with projected operational savings.

Section 115 Trust for Pension Investment Strategy
Date:
December 12, 2023
Submitted By:
Daniel Choe, Deputy Director of Administrative Services Department:
Administrative Services - Finance
Recommendation:
Receive an Update on the Investment Strategy for the City's Section 115 Trust for Pension.
Background:
On September 26, 2023, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2023-154, approving the adoption of the Public Agencies Post-Employment Benefits Trust administered by Public Agency Retirement Services (PARS) for the establishment, administration, and management of a Section 115 Trust for pension in
consideration of the benefits, as follows:
Financial Tool: The Section 115 Trust is a financial instrument that can used for prefunding pension and retirees’ health plans.
Rainy-Day Fund: The trust can be utilized as a rainy-day fund, providing financial security during unexpected challenges.
Tax-Exempt Earnings: The trust offers the advantage of tax-exempt earnings, helping to maximize returns on investments.
Risk Management: The trust helps address risk by enabling further diversification of investments. It employs conservative investment guidelines, reducing risk compared to CalPERS.
Proactive Pension Liability Management: It is used to proactively address future increases in pension liabilities, ensuring fiscal responsibility.
Asset Protection: Funds held in the trust that can only be used for their intended purposes, providing asset protection.
Local Control: The trust allows for local control, permitting the withdrawal of funds to balance the budget or address unforeseen spikes in employer contribution rates.
In addition, the City Council authorized the initial funding of $1.3 million for the Section 115 Pension Trust.
Item Number 3H.
330
Currently, staff is working with PARS to establish the Section 115 Trust for pension prefunding. To complete the onboarding process, the City needs to determine an investment strategy for the pension prefunding trust. T
he
PARS Trust program
offers the following four
pre-established investment strategies, as reflected as Attachment 1 :
1 .
Fixed Income - 100% fixed income
2 .
Conservative - 60% fixed income, 40% equity
3 .
Balanced - 40% fixed income, 60% equity
4 .
Growth - 25% fixed income, 75% equity
On November 1, 2023, the City's Investment Advisory Committee reviewed the investment strategies presented by staff
. At the conclusion of the meeting, the Committee passed a motion approving the utilization of the conservative investment strategy for the City's Section 115 Trust for Pension.
The conservative investment strategy, consisting of 60% fixed income and 40% equity, was selected to preserve principal while ensuring a sufficient rate of return consistent with the City’s objectives and risk tolerance in establishing the pension prefunding trust. The following additional rationales were provided for choosing this strategy:
The City may need to withdraw pension funds in the shorter-term, especially when facing increasing CalPERS rates, and they prefer a strategy with lower potential volatility.
The conservative approach is selected to minimize risk exposure. Higher risk exposure is associated with equity-heavy investment strategies.
The conservative strategy offers the City an opportunity to outperform its investments and diversify pension assets outside of CalPERS. CalPERS investments are inherently aggressive, as they are targeting a 6.8% rate of return (current discount rate). This strategy allows agencies to assume significantly less risk compared to CalPERS investments.
Fiscal Impact:
There is no direct fiscal impact to the staff recommendation.

Development Impact Fee Annual (AB 1600) Reports for Fiscal Year 2022/23
Date:
December 12, 2023
Submitted By:
Daniel Choe, Deputy Director of Administrative Service
Department:
Administrative Services - Finance
Recommendation:
Adopt a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Rocklin Accepting Development Impact Fee Reports for the Period Ending June 30, 2023 as Required by Government Code Sections 66000 et seq.
Background:
In 1987, the California Legislation passed Assembly Bill 1600 (AB 1600), also known as the Mitigation Fee Act (Gov. Code, Sections 66000 et seq.), which governs the establishment and administration of development impact fees. A development impact fee is a monetary exaction other than a tax or special assessment that is charged by a local agency to new development for the purposes of defraying costs of public facilities needed as a result of impacts created by the new development.
Development impact fees are segregated and placed in special funds or accounts, which earn interest. AB 1600 requires local agencies that impose impact fees to annually provide the public with a report that reflects:
1 .
The beginning and ending balances of each separate impact fee fund; 2 .
The amount of fees collected and the interest earned for the year; 3 .
The amount of expenditures and refunds made in the year; 4 .
The percentage of project expenditures paid for by fees; and 5 .
A description of the type of fees and the fee amount.
Discussion:
As of June 30, 2023, the City had nine separate and distinct development impact fees that are collected, pursuant to AB 1600. The following is a summary listing of the fees, along with the balance for each fee account, as of June 30, 2023:
Item Number 3I.

Once adopted, these Development Impact Fee reports will be posted on the City webpage.

Background:
As a part of the Fiscal Year 2023/24 Operating Budget implementation, the City Engineer position transitioned from the Public Services Department into the Community Development Department, along with the responsibilities for carrying out Capital Improvement Projects. The City Engineer has identified that there is a lack of in-house expertise and/or on-call contracts for specialized engineering services; therefore, the Community Development Department has determined that there is a need for on-call professional services to provide a host of technical Item Number 3K.
359
services on an as-needed basis.
On August 3, 2023, the City issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) soliciting Statements of Qualifications in the following areas of practice and/or disciplines:
Land Development Services
City Surveyor/Land Surveying
Geotechnical Engineering
Environmental Services
Civil Engineering
Structural/Bridge Engineering
Project Management
Traffic/Transportation Engineering
The City received 30 proposals from qualified engineering firms. Each firm was required to identify their top three disciplines for which they would solicit work. An internal review panel from the Community Development Department evaluated the proposals on the basis of experience and qualifications of the firm, understanding of the services proposed, and completeness of the proposal and any supporting documents. After reviewing the Statements of Qualifications and comparing these against the City’s various needs in each engineering discipline, there are 25 firms that staff would recommend retaining on an on-call basis, such that each engineering discipline has multiple firms from which staff may select a consultant. If approved, these contracts will allow the City to:
Provide consistent services when workloads temporarily exceed the capacity of in-house staff.
Provide for emergency response needs such as to address landslides, storm drain/culvert assessments, or structural analysis of buildings.
Augment City staff in which a consultant will act in the role of staff while managing other design consultants.
Avoid issuing a separate Request for Proposals (RFPs) for each and every project listed in the City Council-approved Capital Improvement Program (CIP) thereby reducing staff time to retain engineering professionals and expediting project delivery. It should be noted that separate RFPs will be issued for federally funded projects, which contract types have additional requirements not factored into the current RFQ process.
Enhance cross-departmental coordination in which staff from all departments, most notably Public Services and Parks and Recreation, will have access to utilize these contracts for project delivery.
Incorporate the recommendation in the Community Development Organizational Assessment to have on-call contracts to accommodate temporary increases in workload.
Each time a CIP project or other task requiring engineering assistance becomes necessary, staff will negotiate scope and fee to be issued as part of a purchase order. The value of purchase orders will not exceed available budgets, nor will the aggregate dollar value of all purchase orders exceed the maximum contract value each fiscal year. Consultants will only be permitted to bill for actual time and materials spent performing work within the agreed upon scope and fee.
At this time, staff recommends approval of seven contracts covering the disciplines of traffic engineering, bridge maintenance, and land surveying. Currently known projects that require 360
these disciplines include the following: design of the parking lost extension at Whitney Community Park to accommodate the users of the bike pump track, creation of a bridge preventative maintenance program in coordination with Caltrans, and land surveying services to review and approve of parcel maps or other surveying tasks requiring this specialized service.
Over the next few City Council meetings, staff will bring additional on-call contracts before the City Council for consideration.
In order to provide the greatest level of flexibility, staff recommends each contract include a not-to-exceed amount of $400,000 per fiscal year for each of the three years included in the base contract. Additionally, staff recommends granting the City Manager the authority to extend each contract for up to two additional one-year terms at the same dollar amount per fiscal year, allowing for a maximum contract length of five years.
Fiscal Impact:
Although each contract has an annual not-to-exceed contract ceiling of $400,000, there is no fiscal impact associated with approval of the recommended on-call professional services contracts, as the cost of supplies and services will be paid for from the individual department’s approved operating budget or from the CIP project budgets.

14. INTEREST IN CONTRACT
Contractor covenants that neither it, nor any of its employees, agents, contractors, or subcontractors has any interest, nor shall they acquire any interest, direct or indirect, in the subject of the Contract, nor any other interest which would conflict in any manner or degree with the performance of its services hereunder.

Contractor also agrees to make disclosure in compliance with the City conflict of interest code if, at any time after the execution of this Contract, City determines and notifies Contractor in writing that Contractor’s duties under this Contract warrant greater disclosure by Contractor than was originally contemplated. Contractor shall make disclosures in the time, place and manner set forth in the conflict-of-interest code and as directed by the City.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Contractor shall hold harmless, defend at its own expense, and indemnify the City, its officers, officials, agents, employees and volunteers against any and all claims, damages, demands, liability, costs, losses and expenses, including without limitation court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising from all acts or omissions of Contractor, or its officers, agents or employees in rendering services under this Agreement; excluding however, such liability, claims, losses, damages or expenses arising from the City’s sole negligence, or willful acts.
