 If there is no equivalent, the pay for the designated supervisor or manager will move to the rate of pay that is just below the current rate of pay for the employee for the classification worked.

Additional compensation paid to the Manager of Police Records and Communications or Police Captains, shall not alter their continuing status as “exempt’ employees under the FLSA as specified in 29 CFR sec. 541.604.

Confidential Employees and Other Unrepresented Non-Exempt Employees For the purposes of this Document, the following words and phrases have the following meaning:

A. Employees who are required to work in excess of forty (40) paid hours in a workweek shall be compensated at one and one-half (1.5) of their regular rate of pay which is the employee’s base rate of pay plus all differentials to which the employee is entitled.

Vacation and compensatory time off (CTO) are not considered time worked for purposes of computing overtime.

B. Workweek is defined as either the period beginning at 12:01 a.m. Saturday and continuing until midnight the following Friday (in the case of a traditional 5/8 schedule or an alternate 4/10 schedule) or the period beginning at 12:01 p.m. Friday and continuing until 12:00 p.m. the following Friday (in the case of an alternate 9/80 schedule).

C. Work shift is defined as day shift (6 a.m. - 6 p.m. daily) or night shift (6 p.m. to 6 a.m. daily).

D. Work schedule is defined as the hours and days of work assigned to an employee.

Overtime will be paid for all employees who work in excess of forty (40) paid hours in a workweek and shall be compensated at one and one-half (1.5) of their regular rate of pay as defined by the FLSA. Vacation and CTO are not considered time worked for purposes of computing overtime.

B. Employees who are required to work in excess of twelve (12) continuous hours shall be compensated at double their regular rate of pay for all hours worked in excess of twelve 713
Management, Confidential, and Other Unrepresented Employees Rules, Regulations, Benefits, and Policies Page 9 of 33 Exhibit A for Reso. No. 2024-xxx
(12) continuous hours. The payment of double time for these hours will offset the City’s requirement to pay for those hours at an overtime rate if an employee is compensated for more than forty (40) hours in that week. All “double time” overtime shall be paid in the current payroll.

C. When the City approves an employee’s attendance at an off-site training workshop, the employee is in paid status during all hours that the workshop is in session with the exclusion of meal periods and social events. The employee will be in paid status for the travel time to and from the workshop that exceeds the employee’s regular commute time. The double time payment after twelve (12) continuous hours worked (Section B above) does not apply to off-site training events.

D. Unscheduled overtime may be required of any employee at any time to respond to an unforeseeable emergency or situation where proper staffing is critical in the sole opinion of the City.

Compensatory Time Off
Confidential Employees Only
A. Employees may choose to accrue CTO hours in lieu of receiving pay for overtime hours worked.

B. In no event shall an employee accrue CTO hours in excess of ninety-six (96) hours. Once an employee has been credited with compensatory time, the employee may not receive a lump sum payment for the hours accrued unless the employee is separated from City service, or as specified in Section C below. Upon separation the employee will be paid at his/her hourly rate for the remaining compensatory balance.

C. Employees are expected to request the use of accrued CTO in accordance with the procedures and timelines established by each department or division. The City reserves the right to require the employee to take time off to reduce the accrued hours to the maximum accrual. If the City exercises its right to require the time off, the employee must be allowed thirty (30) days to make arrangements. When the employee is carrying the maximum CTO hours, all overtime must be paid at one and one-half (1.5) of their regular rate of pay in the pay period worked. In the pay period following the annual holiday furlough, the City shall pay the employee for up to forty (40) CTO hours earned through the previous pay period at the then current regular rate of pay.

D. The department director or his/her management designee shall have the sole discretion in approving or denying the use of accrued CTO hours.

Fire Recruit Only
A. While assigned to attend a fire academy, the classification of Fire Recruit shall not be paid overtime for hours worked in excess of forty (40) hours in a one-week period, but rather, shall only accrue compensatory time in lieu of receiving paid overtime in accordance with the provisions of this article.
714
Management, Confidential, and Other Unrepresented Employees Rules, Regulations, Benefits, and Policies Page 10 of 33 Exhibit A for Reso. No. 2024-xxx
B. Upon successful completion of the assigned fire academy and prior to promoting to Firefighter, the department may either: (1) pay the existing CTO balance to the fire recruit; or (2) require the fire recruit to use any accrued CTO.

ARTICLE 9. EDUCATION INCENTIVE PAY

A. Associate Degree $75.00 per month
Bachelor’s Degree $125.00 per month

This incentive is non-cumulative and is paid at the highest rate for which an employee is qualified.

B. Education incentive pay shall not be applicable to employees in those classifications that require an associate or bachelor’s degree as a minimum qualification to work in the class.

C. Payment of education incentive will begin effective the first day of the pay period following when the employee provides the Human Resources Division with the appropriate documentation, which would include a copy of the transcripts or diploma. It is the responsibility of each employee to notify the Human Resources Division of his/her eligibility for education incentive and to provide the appropriate documentation.

D. Confidential employees hired on or after July 1, 2012 shall not be eligible for education incentive pay.

ARTICLE 10. SEVERANCE PAY

If an employee, who has been in their current position for a minimum of one (1) year is requested to resign or is terminated from employment and has a signed notice of acknowledgement of at- will employment on file, he/she shall receive severance pay based on years of service according to the formula in Article 10, provided that the termination of employment was not the result of a layoff; or the management employee has not been convicted of the commission of any felony or of any crime of moral turpitude or of any crime in the performance of, or related to, their duties; or committed misfeasance or malfeasance in their official duties; or has been terminated for any other reasonable “cause” as defined in the City’s Personnel Rules.

Special Assessments for Delinquent Weed Abatement Charges Date:

June 25, 2024
Submitted By:

Angela Doyle, Senior Accountant
Department:

Administrative Services - Finance
Recommendation:

Conduct a Public Hearing and Consider the Following Actions:

A
.

Adopt a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Rocklin Imposing Special Assessments Against Certain Parcels for Delinquent Weed Abatement Charges.

B
.

Adopt a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Rocklin Requesting the Collection of Taxes, Assessments on the 2024/25 Tax Roll (Weed Abatement Charges).

Background:

Each year, the City notifies land owners of vacant properties that they must maintain their properties to minimize fire risk. If the properties are not properly abated by the land owners, the City has the right, under California Government Code Section 39501, California Government Code section 39560 et seq., and Rocklin Municipal Code section 8.12.010 to abate the properties and seek reimbursements for these costs.

On April 11, 2023, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2023-43, which identified parcels requiring abatement, ordered that such abatement be completed by June 1, 2023, and set a public hearing for May 4, 2023, to hear any protests. This Resolution also indicated the City may perform abatement on properties that were not properly abated by the owners and indicated that the City would bill the responsible land owner for any costs incurred by the City.

Land owners of affected parcels were notified by mail of the public hearing and abatement requirements.

On May 4, 2023, the City Council held a public hearing and ordered the nuisance be abated.

During the summer of 2023, Northern State Contractors Inc, performed abatement on properties that had not been abated by the owners and billed the City for its costs. The City then billed the property owners for fees associated with abating their land on October 4, 2023, and the City sent second notices in December 2023 to those property owners with unpaid invoices.

On May 28, 2024, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2024-122, accepting a report on the costs of abatement attributed to each delinquent parcel and set a public hearing on June Item Number 5B.

770
25, 2024, so that the City Council could consider placing special assessments for reimbursement of delinquent weed abatement charges on the 2024/25 tax roll. Notice of the public meeting was sent to all owners of record, was posted on the City’s web page, posted near the Council Chambers at least three (3) days prior to the hearing, and was published in the Placer Herald on June 14, 2024.

The first resolution (Attachment 1) authorizes the imposition of special assessments on properties that have delinquent weed abatement fees, and requests the County collect such assessments. The second resolution (Attachment 2) is required by Placer County for all direct charges the County collected on the City’s behalf. It serves to indemnify the County for any errors in those tax rolls submitted by the City.

Fiscal Impact:

Placement of special assessments on the tax rolls would result in the City being reimbursed $25,797.83 of weed abatement expenses and collecting $3,869.78 of administrative fees.

Solid Waste Rate Increase Public Hearing
Date:

June 25, 2024
Submitted By:

Justin Nartker, Director of Public Services
Department:

Public Services
Recommendation:

Conduct a Public Hearing and, if there is No Majority Protest, Consider the Following Action:

Adopt a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Rocklin Amending Solid Waste Collection Service Rates within the Incorporated Limits of the City of Rocklin and Rescinding Resolution No. 2023-110.

Background:

On May 14, 2024, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2024-109, which established Tuesday, June 25, 2024, as a Public Hearing to allow an opportunity for owners of property and customers serviced by Recology Auburn Placer to appear and protest the proposed increase in fees. The rate adjustment request consists of a Cost-of-Living (COLA) Increase of

2.1%, which is less than the 4.0% maximum yearly increase allowed in the Franchise Agreement with the City of Rocklin. In addition, Western Placer Waste Management Authority is increasing the Landfill Rate by 2.65%, which is passed through the City’s solid waste hauler.

Resolution No. 2024-109 also authorized the City Clerk to give additional notice of the proposed increase and Public Hearing as required by law. Written notice of the proposed rates and public hearing was provided by Recology Auburn Placer to its customers as required by law (Attachment 4). Written protest and comment letters received prior to the posting of the agenda are included in Attachment 3. To date, two protests have been received.

Recology Auburn Placer continues to perform their obligations as outlined in the Franchise Agreement. They are responsive to citizen concerns and requests from the City. Beyond the normal weekly service, Rocklin residents also receive green waste pickup, street sweeping, curbside e-waste recycling, spring cleanup, cardboard recycling and dead (large) animal pickup. The current and proposed collection rates for common items are reflected in Attachment 5.

Item Number 5C.

777

Staff recommends as follows:
1 .

Open the public hearing and receive any further protests and comments. 2 .

Close the public hearing and have the City Clerk tally the protests and consider the results.
3 .

If there is a majority protest (50% plus 1 of all customers), no further action will be taken. 4 .

If there is not a majority protest, then Staff recommends that City Council approve the attached resolution to adopt the solid waste fees as proposed.

Fiscal Impact:

The COLA Adjustment and the Landfill Increase Pass Through total is 4.75%, the impact to the average residential end user approximately 2.01%.

Subject:

Special Assessments for Delinquent Refuse Collection Fees Date:

June 25, 2024
Submitted By:

Angela Doyle, Senior Accountant
Department:

Administrative Services - Finance
Recommendation:

Conduct a Public Hearing and Consider the Following Actions:

A
.

Adopt a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Rocklin Imposing Special Assessments Against Certain Parcels for Delinquent Refuse Collection Fees.

B
.

Adopt a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Rocklin Requesting the Collection of Taxes, Assessments on the 2024/25 Tax Roll (Delinquent Refuse Collection Fees).

Background:

Effective April 1, 2009, the City entered into a Franchise Agreement with Recology Auburn Placer, the refuse collection services contractor. This agreement specifies that the City shall assist with the collection of refuse collection fees bills for services provided to customers on accounts that are more than 180 days delinquent. The City has the right under California Government Code sections 25831 and 38790.1, and Rocklin Municipal Code 13.08, to impose a special assessment on the property through the County property tax roll.

On May 28, 2024, the City Council accepted a report regarding delinquent refuse collection charges and adopted Resolution No. 2024-123, which set the public hearing for June 25, 2024, to hear objections to the imposition of special assessments for delinquent refuse collection charges. Notice of the public hearing was sent to all owners of record, was posted on the City’s website, and was published in the Placer Herald on June 14, 2024.

The first resolution (Attachment 1) would authorize imposition of special assessments against specific properties with delinquent refuse collection charges in excess of 180 days. The second resolution (Attachment 2) is required by Placer County for all direct charges the County collected on the City’s behalf. It serves to indemnify the County for any errors in those tax rolls submitted by the City.

Fiscal Impact:

The City applies a 15% administrative charge to each parcel that requires the processing of a property tax lien. This will result in fees received in the amount of $12,586.36 to the General Fund.

Item Number 5D.

Public Facilities Impact Fees Annual Inflation Adjustment Date:

June 25, 2024
Submitted By:

Megan Bressem, Management Analyst
Daniel Choe, Deputy Director of Administrative Services Department:

Administrative Services - Finance
Recommendation:

Conduct a Public Hearing and Consider the Following Action:

Adopt a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Rocklin Authorizing the Annual Inflation Adjustments to the Public Facilities Impact Fees.

Background:

City of Rocklin Ordinance No. 893 established a public facilities development impact fee on issuance of all building permits for development in the City to pay for public facility improvements pursuant to the Mitigation Fee Act (Government Code section 66000 et seq.).

On June 28, 2022, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1149, updating the City's impact fees including the Public Facilities Impact Fee to account for the impacts of new development and adopted Resolution No. 2022-144, setting the public facilities impact fee rates and current fee schedule, effective January 1, 2023.

Pursuant to Rocklin Municipal Code Sections 3.16.520 (C) and 3.16.530, the public facilities impact fees shall be annually adjusted for inflation by City Council resolution. The inflation adjustments must be based on the average of the Engineering News-Record’s Construction Cost Index for 20 cities and for San Francisco, as published in the Engineering News-Record Publication for the preceding twelve months ending in May. The resultant fees shall be rounded to the nearest dollar figure. The Engineering News-Record’s Construction Cost Index for the preceding twelve months ending in May 2024 is 1.84%.

The inflationary factor has been applied to the July 1, 2024 public facilities impact fee rates and is reflected in Exhibit A (Attachment 2). The adjusted fees will be effective July 1, 2024.

Staff recommends adoption of a resolution (Attachment 1) to adjust the public facilities fees, effective July 1, 2024, to account for inflation on construction costs.

Item Number 5E.

813
Fiscal Impact:

There is no direct fiscal impact to the General Fund from the staff recommendation. Adoption of the resolution will allow fees to be collected at a rate adjusted for inflation.

Public Financing Authority of the City of Rocklin Adopting a Budget for Fiscal Year 2024/25
Date:

June 25, 2024
Submitted By:

Angela Doyle, Senior Accountant
Megan Bressem, Management Analyst
Daniel Choe, Deputy Director of Administrative Services Department:

Administrative Services - Finance
Recommendation:

Adopt a Resolution of the Public Financing Authority of the City of Rocklin Adopting a Budget for Fiscal Year 2024/25.

Background:

On December 13, 1994, the City of Rocklin (City) and the former Rocklin Redevelopment Agency formed a joint powers authority known as the Rocklin Public Finance Authority (RPFA). In 1999, the RPFA issued revenue bonds in the amount of $14,910,000. The proceeds from the revenue bonds were used to purchase special tax bonds issued by the City on behalf of three Community Facilities Districts (CFD No. 6, CFD No. 8, and CFD No. 9).

Subsequently, in 2003, the RPFA issued revenue bonds to refinance the 1999 RPFA revenue bonds.

In 2017, the RPFA executed a special tax revenue refunding loan agreement in the amount of $5,000,077 to refund the remaining 2003 RPFA refunding revenue bonds. The RPFA currently maintains an investment in the debts of CFD No. 6, CFD No. 8 and CFD No. 9, with the investment balance at $1,029,183. The loan is scheduled to be fully paid in Fiscal Year 2025/26.

The RPFA's budget is annually prepared and presented to the RPFA Board (Board). Approval of the RPFA budget by the Board authorizes staff to disburse the RPFA’s expenses. The sole expenditures of the RPFA consist of annual debt service payments on the 2017 RPFA special tax revenue refunding loan agreement. These debt service payments are funded through receipts from CFD No. 6, CFD No. 8, and CFD No. 9. The principal source of revenue for the RPFA is interest earned from the investments in CFD No. 6, CFD No. 8 and CFD No. 9.
