For the Meeting of October 24, 2023
From: Chris Constantin, Executive Director
Prepared by: Lily Flores, Housing Manager
Subject: Approval of Update and Revisions to the Charter Oak Mobile Home Estates Space Rent Assistance Program Guidelines
____________________________________________________________________________
SUMMARY
The Charter Oak Mobile Home Estates Space Rent Assistance Program assist Very-Low to Low-Income residents who pay more than 30% of their income towards housing with a space rent credit. The proposed updates and revisions will increase the space rent assistance amount by $25.00 (from $75 to $100 for Low Income Residents and from $90 to $115 for Very LowIncome Residents) effective January 1, 2024, when a space rent increase will take effect. The revisions will also allow the City Manager or his designee to revise the Program Guidelines, including annual changes to the credit amounts if applicable.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the Housing Authority consider and approve the following:
1. Approve the updates and revisions proposed for the Charter Oak Mobile Home Estates Space Rent Assistance Program; and
2. Authorize the Executive Director or his designee to approve revisions to the Program Guidelines, including changes to credit amounts.
FISCAL IMPACT

BACKGROUND
The Charter Oak Mobile Home Estates Space Rent Assistance Program (“Program”) helps Low Income residents who reside at Charter Oak Mobile Home Estates with a monthly space rent

credit. Very-Low Income residents at 50% or below AMI receive a $90.00 monthly space rent credit and Low-Income residents at 51%-80% AMI receive a $75.00 monthly space rent credit.
Current Program Guidelines were approved effective June 14, 2022. The Guidelines established qualification criteria and space rent credit amounts. In June 2022, the Housing Authority had a total of 26 homeowners on the Program. After the approval of the Guidelines, the participation total increased to 41 homeowners in 2022-2023.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
On October 1, 2023, the residents at the Charter Oak Mobile Home Estates (COMHE) received a 90-day notice of a 3.3% space rent increase effective January 1, 2024. This is in accordance with the San Dimas Mobile Home Accord. The last time a rent increase was imposed on the residents at Charter Oak Mobile Home Estates was August 1, 2021, in the amount of 2%.
The 3.3% increase will be applicable to all the 184 units at COMHE. The increase averages out to $23.48 monthly per unit. Staff recognizes that this increase may cause an extreme hardship for the residents and is proposing to increase the space rent credit for participants in the Program by $25.00. If approved, this increase will increase the space rent credit for Low Income residents from $75.00 to $100.00 monthly credit and for Very Low-Income residents from $90.00 to $115.00.
Revisions to the Program Guidelines also include allowing the Executive Director or his designee authorization to make amendments to the Program Guidelines as necessary.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This item is not subject to environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Under CEQA guidelines Section 15378 (b)(5), continued administrative activities and organization activities that will not result in a direct or indirect physical change in the environment are not CEQA projects. Moreover, under CEQA guidelines CEQA guidelines Section 15784 (b)(4), government fiscal activities which do not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment are not CEQA projects.

Agenda Item Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
For the Meeting of October 24, 2023
From: Chris Constantin, City Manager
Prepared by: Michael O'Brien, Director of Administrative Services Subject: Receive and File the September 2023 Investment Report ____________________________________________________________________________
SUMMARY
Monthly Reporting for the City of San Dimas investment of idle funds and cash condition.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council:
• Receive and file Investment and Cash Condition report for the month of September 2023.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact for the recommended action.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
It is the policy of the City of San Dimas to invest public funds in a manner that will provide an optimal combination of security and investment return while meeting the daily cash flow demands of the City and conforming to all State and local statutes governing the investment of public funds.
The priority objectives of the City’s investment activities are as follows: safety, liquidity and returns.
The City’s investment portfolio as of September 30, 2023, maintained liquid cash in the amount of $12,134,491.08 held between BMO Harris, the City and LAIF which amounts to just under 17% of the portfolio to provide the cash flow necessary for City payroll and operating expenditures as well as large capital project expenses and unforeseen emergencies that may occur throughout
September 2023 Investment Report Page 2
For the Meeting of October 24, 2023
the year. The following chart displays the total investments and weighted average yield per investment category:
The City’s Banking Services Provider BMO Harris provides a fully collateralized checking account whose funds are used to make cash payments for City payroll and operational expenses. The city performs daily bank reconciliations to assure adequate cash is held in the checking account for upcoming expenditures. Cash held in the account earns income credits that accumulate at a rate of .55% which offsets banking service charges that are charged each quarter to the city.
Petty Cash is held at City facilities for cashiering purposes and to reimburse small dollar expenditures between $0.01 and $50.00.
The Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) is considered a Local Agency Investment Pool and acts much like a money market account. Funds can be deposited and withdrawn without penalty.
The pool invests funds in short-term securities and can produce returns at rates like money markets but is considered more secure.
CALTRUST is a public agency that provides investment funds that are liquid, short term, and medium term. The assets held by CALTRUST are managed by State Street Global Advisors.
Since the City first invested with CALTRUST in August of 2010, buying into the Medium-Term Fund. The City has made various contributions throughout the years as well as reinvested any accumulated interest earnings throughout the life of the fund.
In total the weighted average cost of investing in CALTRUST is $9.64. Currently due to increasing interest rates driving market rates down for assets already held, the share price of the fund as of September 30, 2023 was $9.64. Until interest rates decline to the point that share price would increase to $9.98 or above, the city would be recognizing a loss on sale. However, the City could pull out funds at any time if liquidity needs arose.

For the Meeting of October 24, 2023
The City Treasurer also utilizes Brokers to purchase investment securities such as Government Sponsored Enterprises (Agency Bonds), Corporate Bonds, U.S. Treasuries and Negotiable CD’s.
The investment policy and California Government Code Section 53600.3 allows the City to invest 30% of its portfolio in Certificates of Deposit and 20% of its portfolio in Corporate Bonds through Brokers. U.S. Treasuries and Government Sponsored Enterprises (Agency Bonds) have no investment limits; however, it is considered a best practice not to invest more than 5% in a single Government Sponsored Enterprises.
The following is a breakdown of the total invested in each type of investment along with its percentage of the portfolio:
Additionally, per the Investment Policy, the City has an established maturity matrix with the investment ranges as follows:
The Cities current investment maturity range is as follows:
The weighted average maturity for all City investments is 1.16 years, which is ideal in today’s rising interest rate environment. The short time to maturity of our investments will allow the city to reinvest the matured principal amounts into investments that are likely to be offered at higher yields.

SECTION 2. PUBLIC EMPLOYEES RETIREMENT SYSTEM
In August 1999 the City amended the PERS contract to the 2% @ 55 formula with the provision that if the Employer's rate is re-instated at some future time the employees would contribute a portion of their gross salary towards the cost of the enhanced retirement plan.
As of June 22, 2014, employees shall contribute the full 7% employee portion for PERS contribution. (Resolution No. 2013-38)
The City will pay to the Public Employees Retirement System a maximum of seven percent (7%) of the employee’s base compensation for their share of the retirement contribution, as required by Section 20683 of the Government Code; which sum shall be equivalent to the percentage required by law to be paid by miscellaneous employee members thereof. All full-time employees shall be enrolled in PERS upon hire. Once employees are classified as Regular Part Time, they shall be enrolled in PERS.
All new Employees hired on or after January 1, 2013 and deemed to be a “new member” as defined in Government Code Section 7522.01, shall be enrolled in the California Public Employees’ Pension Reform Act (PEPRA) provided 2% at 62 retirement formula. New employees are responsible for paying 50% of the "normal cost" of the plan as annually calculated by PERS.
Resolution 2023-65 Page 4
Pay Plan and Reimbursement Schedule
October 24, 2023
SECTION 3. ALTERNATIVE RETIREMENT PLAN
Effective July 1, 1991, the City has implemented an alternate retirement system for part time hourly and seasonal employees in lieu of social security. Effective on July 1, 1991, the City Manager is authorized to implement mandatory payroll deductions for part-time employees’ wages in an amount of 6.2% of earnings. City paid contributions of 1.3% of earnings shall be authorized as an employer contribution to a retirement system for part-time employees. All such payroll deductions and employer contributions shall be deposited by the City into a deferred compensation retirement plan. (Resolution No. 91-52)
SECTION 4. HEALTH INSURANCE AND OPTIONAL BENEFITS PLAN
Every eligible full-time or regular part time employee receiving City benefits must be covered by a health insurance plan approved by the City except as provided below. The City will contribute $100 per month, as of July 1, 1996, per eligible employee for the approved health care plan of the employee's choice. Effective with the pay period that begins November 15, 2020, the City shall contribute an additional $1,445 per month per eligible full-time employee and $673 per month per eligible regular part time employee, to an Optional Benefit Plan which the employee may receive as cash or may elect to use for medical, dental, vision insurance, or other such benefits as may be approved by the City Manager, as of September 24, 2019. To qualify to waive medical coverage with the City of San Dimas, the employee must show proof of coverage in a group health plan such as with a spouse's employer and other than the individual market place, whether obtained through Covered California, another market place established under Health Reform or outside market places established under Health Reform. Proof of other group coverage must be submitted each year at open enrollment. This plan is maintained for the exclusive benefit of employees and their dependents and is established with the intention of being maintained for an indefinite period of time.
Optional Benefit Plan
Each full-time employee and regular part time employee shall receive an Optional Benefit Plan allocation as determined by the City Council on the approved Pay Plan and Reimbursement Schedule. One hundred dollars ($100) of the Optional Benefit Plan amount is designated for health insurance; the remainder is to be applied to available benefits. If deemed necessary the City may change insurance providers for the employees. Full time and regular part time employees who are covered by a health plan not sponsored by the City and who; therefore, do not use the City’s $100 contribution for health care coverage shall have the $100 added to their Optional Benefits Plan. The Optional Benefit Plan amount may be increased or decreased upon approval of Administration and City Council. The Optional Benefit money is not taxed if used for deferred compensation, health, dental, and vision insurance. If the employee chooses to receive all or part of their Optional Benefit Plan money in cash, the money is subject to all taxes as required by law. The Optional Benefit Plan may be spent on benefits of the employee’s choice from the following options:
Health Insurance
The City contracts with the Public Employees’ Retirement System (PERS) for health insurance. Employees who do not wish to be covered must submit proof of coverage under a spouse’s plan or other plan and sign an affidavit stating employee has sufficient coverage from an outside source. Employees are eligible to change plans annually during
Resolution 2023-65 Page 5
Pay Plan and Reimbursement Schedule
October 24, 2023
the designated open enrollment period.
Dental Insurance
The City contracts with Delta Dental to provide optional dental coverage to full-time and regular part-time employees. Delta Dental offers an indemnity plan and a prepaid plan to choose from.
Vision Insurance
The City contracts with Vision Services Plan to provide primary vision coverage to all eligible employees.
Deferred Comp
As determined by the IRS, employees may defer annual earnings up to a maximum amount. This “deferred compensation” contribution means the money will not be taxed until you draw it out. IRS rules do not allow withdrawal until you terminate employment or in the event of an emergency. The IRS may increase the maximum amount allowed for deferral each calendar year.
Cash
Employees may choose to receive all or a portion of their remaining Optional Benefit Plan funds in cash. At that time the funds are taxable.
SECTION 5. LIFE INSURANCE AND LONG-TERM DISABILITY INSURANCE The City shall provide, at no cost to the employee, term life insurance in the amount of $50,000 to all full-time employees and eligible regular part-time employees.
Additionally, in lieu of the employees participating in the State Disability Insurance Program, the City shall provide long-term disability insurance for all full-time and eligible regular part-time employees, which benefits are equal to or exceed those provided under State Disability Insurance.
These insurance plans are maintained for the exclusive benefit of full-time and eligible regular part-time employees, and are established with the intention of being maintained for an indefinite period of time. The specific terms and conditions of said insurance plans should be determined and approved by the City Manager.
SECTION 6. DEFERRED COMPENSATION
To encourage employees to participate in the optional deferred compensation program the City offers a 457(b) and 401(a) defined contribution plan. The City shall provide a matching contribution into the 401(a) plan up to a maximum amount shown below:

indefinite period of time. The specific terms and conditions of the program shall be determined and approved by the City Manager.
SECTION 7. OVERTIME COMPENSATION
It shall be the duty of the City Manager and/or their designee to conduct the City’s business with a minimum amount of overtime. Overtime shall not be accrued under normal operating conditions.
The City Manager, their designee, or appropriate Department Director and/or manager may grant the payment of overtime compensation to employees only under unusual circumstances and only when such payment is deemed to be in the best interests of the City.
A non-exempt employee shall have the choice to receive overtime pay at the rate of one and onehalf (1-1/2) times their regular rate, or compensatory time off equal to one and one- half (1-1/2) times the overtime worked for each hour over 40 hours in any work week. Such compensatory time shall be taken at the convenience of the department with the approval of the Department Director and in accordance with the City’s Compensatory Time Policy. Only regular hours worked and City designated holidays will be included for purposes of overtime calculation. (Res. No. 76- 60, July 27, 1976) (Res. No. 86-26, April 20, 1986)
SECTION 8. STAND BY/ON-CALL COMPENSATION
Standby duty is when qualified field personnel are designated to be on-call and prepared to respond to emergency calls for service after normal work hours, on weekends, and during holidays. Standby assignment shall apply to those employees whose residence is close enough to San Dimas to permit them to respond to a call in 45 minutes or less. The standby employee will be assigned a city issued cellular telephone that shall be carried at all times while on stand-by duty.
While on standby duty, employees are required to do the following:
• Be available by a City issued cellular telephone.
• Report to work within thirty minutes after notification. • Refrain from activities which may impair the employee’s ability to perform their duties. • Respond to emergency situations based on a 24 hour/7-day week rotational system.
Standby duty shall be for a one-week period, commencing and concluding on Wednesdays.
GUIDELINES
The Director of Public Works or the Director of Parks and Recreation will determine if an employee is qualified to perform standby duty. A standby eligibility list will be established. A six-month standby rotation will be established with a minimum of four (4) employees for the standby eligibility list. The employee assigned standby duty will cover all holidays that fall within the scheduled week. The following criteria is used in determining which employees are eligible to be placed on standby duty:
• Judgment and ability to make sound decisions. Ability to safely evaluate a situation and determine if a supervisor should be notified.
Resolution 2023-65 Page 7
Pay Plan and Reimbursement Schedule
October 24, 2023
• Knowledge and ability to perform required tasks based upon cross training. • Experience and familiarization with City systems and operations. • No excessive unexcused sick usage.
Safety should be a primary concern at all times. The standby employee is responsible for accessing the situation and determining if additional resources are needed. A designated supervisor shall be notified when back-up personnel are requested or when situations need further evaluation.
Standby hours will be compensated at the employee’s straight time hourly rate. An employee on standby duty shall be compensated for two hours per day of the employee’s hourly pay rate for each day on call on Monday through Friday. An employee on standby duty shall be compensated for two hours per day of the employee’s hourly pay rate for each day on call on weekends (Saturday and Sunday) and three hours during any city approved holiday(s).
Employees assigned to standby duty must receive proper authorization by a supervisor to switch assigned standby duty with another employee who is eligible for standby duty.
Employees are not eligible for standby duty until they have completed their probationary period with a satisfactory evaluation. Any employee denied the opportunity to participate in standby duty will be informed in writing of the reasons for the exclusion; the employee may apply for reconsideration after six months.
Employees will not be eligible for standby duty pay if the employee leaves work sooner than two hours prior to the end of the work day, does not attend work because of an illness, or is on leave status. An employee will be eligible to resume standby duty after the employee returns to regular duty.
The City may revoke standby pay and take appropriate disciplinary action if the employee on standby assignment does not respond within the required 30-minute response time when notified of the initial situation.
Supervisors, who have exempt status under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) guidelines, are not eligible for paid standby compensation.
Call-Back Duty is defined as when an employee, whether or not on standby duty, is called in to work after their normal work hours or on a weekend or holiday. These employees shall be compensated for a two-hour minimum at a pay rate of time and a half. The time starts when the employee responds to the request. All time in excess of the two-hour call-out minimum will be compensated at time and a half for the actual number of hours worked.
Multiple call outs will not be considered as separate call outs if they occur within the same twohour minimum compensation period.
Standby workweek schedules shall be posted by the departments at the end of each month and shall cover an eight-week period.
In the interest of employee safety, a Supervisor at their discretion may alter the standby or regular
Resolution 2023-65 Page 8
Pay Plan and Reimbursement Schedule

schedule of an employee who has worked an extraordinary amount of call out hours within a given standby shift.

The employee that has been recalled to duty will be guaranteed a minimum of two (2) hours pay or compensatory time off, at the rate of one and one-half (1-1/2) times or 3 hours. Prescheduled overtime is paid at 1 ½ times the pay rate or compensatory time off at the employee’s preference.
A bona fide need of the City shall be determined by the Department Director and subject to approval of the City Manager.

RE: Case Title: John Baker v. City of San Dimas
Our File#: 3049794 TV
Dear Mr. McKinney:
We have reviewed the above-captioned claim, which you have presented for coverage under the California JPIA’s 2022-2023 Memorandum of Liability Coverage.
The California JPIA’s analysis of the claim has determined that coverage cannot be afforded at this time. As such, we suggest that you refer the claim to your airport insurance carrier or City Attorney for direct handling. At your request, we will review any subsequent lawsuit and/or information for coverage.
It is the California JPIA’s position that this loss is excluded from coverage for indemnity and defense due to, but not limited to, Exclusions P which read as follows:
“P Any Claim, liability, alleged liability, loss, cost, or expense arising out of
1. The adoption or administrative application of any ordinance, resolution or regulation;
2. The approval or disapproval of any land-use entitlement including but not limited to general plan amendments, zoning amendments, permits, tract maps, development agreements, owner-participation agreements, or disposition-and-development agreements;” Please note that the California JPIA’s Memorandum of Liability Coverage provides for an appeal process for a review of the determination of a lack of coverage by the California JPIA Executive Director. The appeal must be made in writing and within 90 days of the date of this written notice of a lack of coverage. The appeal should be mailed to the California JPIA- Attn: Jonathan Shull, Chief Executive Officer, 8081 Moody Street, La Palma, CA 90623. Should you desire that the Authority provide defense counsel during the pendency of the appeal, your appeal notice must include that request.

Dear Mr. Millager:
As you may recall we are the claim administrators for the city of San Dimas. We appreciate your desire to seek reimbursement for the damage, however the city confirmed there is scheduled maintenance of this area done every other week on Wednesdays. The city of San Dimas has reached out to their contractor and was advised they were not in the area in question on the date and time noted on your claim form. The city of San Dimas is not responsible for your damage.
Unfortunately, we are unable to recommend settlement of your claim.
Thank you.
