STAFF REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Leon D. Gomez, P.E., City Engineer
SUBJECT: Resolution of the City Council of the City of Sand City Amending Underground Utility District No. 1 located on California Avenue to expand the limits from Shake Avenue to Contra Costa Street
DATE: June 3, 2025
_______________________________________________________________________ BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
Electric Rule 20
In response to local government interest in enhancing the aesthetics of their communities, the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) established Electric Tariff Rule 20 (Electric Rule 20) in 1967, which contains three separate programs that provide for the undergrounding of existing overhead utility lines. Pursuant to certain criteria, CPUC rules allow participating cities and counties to establish legislation authorizing the creation of an Underground Utility District (UUD) within which existing overhead electric distribution and telecommunication distribution and service facilities will be converted to underground.
Annually, the Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) converts many miles of overhead electric facilities to underground. This work is completed by following the Electric Rule 20 guidelines. Electric Rule 20 has three categories: A, B and C. The use of a particular Rule 20 category is determined by the type of area to be undergrounded and who pays for the work. The Rule 20 program allocates a certain amount of monetary credits for cities each year to help fund undergrounding projects. Cities can draw from their work credit allocations to support the cost of undergrounding overhead electric facilities. The table below summarizes the categories under Electric Rule 20.
Table: Electric Rule 20 Categories
Rules Description of Funding
Electric Rule 20A Conversion projects under this section of the rules are funded by ratepayers throughout the service territory, but only for projects 36 deemed to create a general public benefit by satisfying at least one qualifying criterion.
Electric Rule 20B Conversion projects under these rules are funded by both ratepayers and property owners. This program provides limited ratepayer subsidies for undergrounding utility lines in areas that do not quality under Rule 20A.
Electric Rule 20C Conversion projects under these rules are funded almost entirely by those requesting the underground conversion. This program enables property owners to pay for the cost of underground utility lines which do no quality under Rule 20A or 20B.
A Rule 20A project is initiated by a city or county and typically occurs in areas of a community that are used by the public, such as public rights-of-way (ROW). A city, county or municipal agency determines the potential project location, and the boundary is discussed with PG&E and other utilities. The governing body of a city or county must determine, in consultation with PG&E and after holding public hearings on the subject, that undergrounding is in the general public interest for one or more of the following qualifying reasons:
Such undergrounding will avoid or eliminate an unusually heavy concentration of overhead electric facilities
The street, road or right-of-way is extensively used by the General Public and carries a heavy volume of pedestrian or vehicle traffic
The street, road or right-of-way adjoins or passes through a civic area, public recreation area or an area of unusual scenic interest to the public The street, road or right-of-way is considered an arterial street or major collector as defined in the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research General Plan Guidelines A Rule 20B project is typically in conjunction with larger developments and the majority of costs are paid by the developer or applicant. Undergrounding within Rule 20B is done when the area does not fit the Rule 20A criteria but involves both sides of the street for at least 600 feet. Under Rule 20B, the applicant is responsible for the installation of the conduit, substructures and boxes. The applicant pays for the installation cost of the underground electric system, less a credit for an equivalent overhead system, plus the taxes, if applicable. An example of this category is the West End South of Tioga Development, in which the developer undergrounded existing overhead electric facilities along Tioga Avenue and California Avenue, at their cost.
A Rule 20C project is usually a small project that involves one or more property owners.
The costs are almost entirely borne by the applicants. Undergrounding within the provisions 37 of Rule 20C occurs when neither Rule 20A nor Rule 20B applies. Under Rule 20C, the applicant pays the entire cost of the electric undergrounding, less a credit for salvage.
Underground Utility District No. 1
On June 17, 1975, the City Council of the City of Sand City (City) a held a duly noticed Public Hearing and adopted Resolution No. 189 establishing UUD No. 1 on California Avenue in accordance with Sand City Municipal Code (SCMC) Title 12 Public Property, Public Works and Public Utilities, Chapter 12.08 Underground Utility Districts, and determined that the public necessity, health, safety, and welfare required the removal of poles, overhead wires and associated overhead structures, and the underground installation of wires and facilities for supplying electric, communication, or similar or associated service.
The limits of UUD No. 1 are located within the California Avenue ROW, from Orland Avenue to Hickory Street, a portion of which has been undergrounded by the West End South of Tioga development which included the abandonment of Orland Avenue. As a result, UUD No. 1 must be amended to meet the Electric Rule 20 criteria.
The City’s contract city engineer, Harris & Associates (Harris), evaluated the need to amend UUD No. 1 and reviewed the California Avenue corridor to determine the locations of existing overhead electric facilities, poles, and equipment that could be undergrounded in accordance with the Electric Rule 20 criteria. Harris determined that amending the boundary of UUD No. 1 from Shake Avenue to Contra Costa Street would meet the criteria and allow the City to remain active under the Electric Rule 20 program.
As a result, staff recommends that the City Council amend UUD No. 1 located on California Avenue to expand the limits from Shake Avenue to Contra Costa Street as depicted on Exhibit A to the attached Resolution. City Hall, the Police Department, Calabrese Park (a city park) and the City’s Community Garden are located along California Avenue, and the amendment to UUD No. 1 meets the Electric Rule 20 criteria as follows:
1) The undergrounding to be accomplished will avoid or eliminate an unusually heavy concentration of overhead electric facilities.
2) The street, road, or right-of-way is extensively used by the general public and carry a heavy volume of pedestrian or vehicular traffic.
3) The street, road, or right-of-way adjoins or passes through (a) a civic area
(b) a public recreation area
(c) an area of unusual scenic interest to the general public 38 4) The street, road, or right-of-way is considered an arterial street or major collector as defined in the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research General Plan Guidelines.
In this case, California Avenue is identified as a Major Collector in the City’s General Plan, Circulation Element.
Exhibit A showing the amended UUD No. 1 boundary has been reviewed and approved by PG&E.
Adoption of a resolution to amend UUD No. 1 in the area in which both the existing and new facilities are and will be located requiring, among other things:
1) That all existing overhead communication and electric distribution facilities in such district shall be removed
2) That each property served from such electric overhead facilities shall have installed in accordance with PG&E’s rules for underground service, all electrical facility changes on the premises necessary to receive service from the underground facilities of PG&E as soon as it is available, and
3) Authorizing PG&E to discontinue its overhead service Electric Rule 20A Work Credits
Each year the City is notified by PG&E regarding the allocation of work credits for conversion of overhead electric distribution lines and facilities to underground, known as Rule 20A allocations. On April 1, 2025, the City received e-mail correspondence from PG&E entitled, “Rule 20A Work Credit Statement: Period 1/1/2024 through 12/31/2024”.
This correspondence notified the City that as of 12/31/2024, the City has 221,664 in Rule 20A work credits.
Sand City is considered an “active community” under the Electric Rule 20 criteria. An active community is defined as a community that:
1. Formally adopts an underground district resolution or ordinance which expires at completion of the work within the district boundaries, or
2. Has started or completed construction of an undergrounding conversion project within the last 8 years, defined as 2011 or later, or
3. Has received Rule 20A allocations from the utility for only 5 years or few due to recent incorporation.
If a community becomes inactive, its share of work credits may be reallocated to other, active communities to support their undergrounding projects. 39 CEQA:
The proposed project is to underground existing overhead utility lines within existing City rights-of-way and areas immediately adjacent, as needed. Adoption of a Resolution amending UUD No. 1 is exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Section 15302(d) (conversion of overhead lines to underground including the connection to existing overhead electrical distribution lines where the surface is restored to pre-project conditions). Therefore, no environmental review is necessary.
FISCAL IMPACT:
As noted herein, the amendment to UUD No. 1 will expand the limits from Shake Avenue to Contra Costa Street, a total distance of approximately 1,400 feet. About 500 feet of this distance, between Holly Street and Hickory Street, has already been undergrounded, leaving approximately 900 feet of existing overhead electric facilities to underground. Using a cost of $1,400 per lineal feet, the estimated cost to underground the remaining 900 feet along California Avenue is $1,260,000. Using the City’s available work credits, the remaining cost would be as follows:
Estimated cost to underground the amended UUD No. 1: $1,260,000 Work Credits as of 12/31/24: $221,664
Remaining: $1,038,336
To move forward with this undergrounding project, the City would utilize its allocation of work credits and fund the remaining cost by other means. Future undergrounding within the UUD shall be completed as expediently as possible, considering the availability of funding, labor, materials and equipment necessary, and the project would be brought back to city council for approval before commencing any work.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council of the City of Sand City consider and adopt Resolution No. XXXX, Amending Underground Utility District No. 1 located on California Avenue to expand the limits from Shake Avenue to Contra Costa Street.

48 ROAD SAFETY IN MONTEREY COUNTY:
WHERE TO REPORT A PROBLEM
Source: Photo of Fern Canyon Road, near Carmel Highlands, posted 2/13/25 on Monterey County Facebook page. The road was subsequently closed.
SUMMARY
From time to time, all drivers in Monterey County have observed safety and maintenance issues with the roads. Should they wish to report a potentially hazardous condition, it is not always obvious which entity they should notify to express their concerns. Roads in Monterey County are owned and maintained by different jurisdictions, most often with overlapping responsibilities. Processes for road improvement projects and traffic safety are lengthy, complicated, and not easily understood. The public is often confused about which entity to contact regarding traffic safety concerns or road maintenance, and even 1 49
how to submit customer service requests. Each entity uses a different interface for gathering data regarding traffic safety and maintenance concerns. Forms to request service can be found on most entities’ websites but replies to the citizens filing the complaints are inconsistently handled.
The 2024-25 Civil Grand Jury (CGJ) received a complaint from a citizen regarding a major injury accident where the motorist was attempting a legal crossing of the road centerline into a highly trafficked driveway. A vehicle traveling in the same direction failed to stop and hit the stationary car. This resulted in hospitalization and surgery for the complainant.
The CGJ examined the citizen inquiry and follow-up processes for these entities:
Transportation Agency for Monterey County (TAMC)
California Department of Transportation (Caltrans)
Monterey County Public Works Division (MCPWD) within the Public Works, Facilities, and Parks Department (MCPWFP).
Researching options for addressing this complaint, the CGJ discovered the public is largely unaware of where and how to submit a request for road improvements and traffic safety concerns. In its findings, the jury identified inconsistent reporting options and a lack of updated traffic collision information. This report will include the following recommendations:
Publish information regarding the role of TAMC, Caltrans, and MCPWD. Update the collision map on TAMC’s website thereby improving the public's awareness of challenging conditions and dangerous intersections. Inform the public about Monterey County uConnect, a mobile device app providing information on a wide variety of topics, including reporting road and traffic concerns in the unincorporated areas of the County.
These simple measures will better inform the community and provide citizens with a sense of partnership with entities in improving our roads and highways. 2 50
BACKGROUND
The Civil Grand Jury (CGJ) began to investigate road safety and maintenance in Monterey County after receiving a complaint regarding a left-turn lane on a State highway in Monterey County. There is no left-turn pocket at that location, just the road centerline that has been the scene of multiple accidents. The investigation revealed that road safety projects such as the construction of turn lanes, protective turn pockets, traffic signals, or roundabouts are lengthy and complex processes. These projects involve private property issues, engineering studies, environmental impact, cooperation between jurisdictions, sufficient funding in a time of scarce resources, public hearings, hiring of skilled contractors, and, finally, breaking ground and beginning construction.
Many factors go into prioritizing which projects are funded. These include data regarding collisions and incidents. This information is difficult for the public to locate and compile.
Other considerations include grant awards, state funding, and voter approval of measures to fund jurisdictional improvements.
The CGJ also found confusion regarding which entity is responsible for which roads within Monterey County and how best to contact the correct public organization (State or local) regarding a road safety or maintenance concern.
The following entities are responsible for traffic safety in Monterey County and collaborate closely with local municipalities to complete of traffic projects. Each entity will be examined in further detail in later sections of this report.
TAMC
TAMC, Monterey County’s regional transportation planning agency, is a State-designated agency responsible for financial and logistical planning of transportation projects. The mission of TAMC is to “develop and maintain a multimodal transportation system that 3 51
enhances mobility, safety access, environmental quality, and economic activities in Monterey County”. TAMC is not responsible for road repairs or physical road enhancements. (tamcmonterey.org, Feb. 16, 2025)
Caltrans
Caltrans is responsible for more than 50,000 miles of highways and freeways in California. It also provides inter-city rail services, airports, and hospital heliports, and collaborates closely with local agencies. According to the Caltrans website, “Caltrans carries out its mission with six primary programs: Aeronautics, Highway Transportation, Mass Transportation, Transportation Planning, Administration and the Equipment Service Center. Caltrans’ vision is to achieve a thriving and connected California.” (dot.ca.gov, Feb. 16, 2025)
Monterey County Public Works Division
The mission of MCPWD is to promote economic vitality and enhance the quality of life for the citizens of Monterey County by providing safe and efficient public roads, bridges, and public facilities. MCPWD is responsible for road repair and construction of physical road enhancements on County roads. (countyofmonterey.gov/government/departments-iz/public-works-facilities-parks/ public-works) TAMC, Caltrans, and MCPWD, including each city within the county of Monterey, is the focus of this report, which includes the following information:
How to submit a concern or a complaint

Monterey County Public Works Division (MCPWD)
According to the Monterey County website, the Monterey County Public Works Division (MCPWD) provides services to ensure reasonable and safe road development, plan for future needs, manage infrastructure and County facilities, and protect natural resources.
Several divisions exist within MCPWD. The Public Works Division includes Divisions of Road and Bridge Engineering, Stormwater and Floodplain Management, Traffic Engineering, Road and Bridge Maintenance, and several other divisions. Members of the public who have a road traffic safety or maintenance concern regarding a road in the unincorporated areas of the County must call or email a request for service or call 911 in case of an emergency. MCPWD receives 3,000 to 4,000 customer service requests annually and logs them into a database.

Mobile Apps for Reporting Traffic Safety and Maintenance Concerns The CGJ identified three entities that utilize apps that can be downloaded to mobile devices: Cities of Soledad and Salinas as well as Monterey County. The Monterey County uConnect app may be used for reporting many different issues and has a wealth of other information in addition to reporting a concern.
Home page of Monterey County uConnect app
Source: Monterey County Public Works, Facilities, and Parks Department The home page of the app has a “Report Issue” button that opens a dropdown menu listing a range of issues related to road maintenance concerns in the unincorporated areas of the County including dead animals, debris removal, flooding, guardrail, illegal 9 57
parking, potholes, road repair, sign/signal/striping, streetlights, and tree/weed removal.
The app is an easy way for the public to report an issue while traveling in the unincorporated areas of the county. However, there is no reference to the Monterey County uConnect app on the MCPWD website. Further, it is not easy to find information about the Monterey County uConnect app on any of the County departments’ websites.
The Cities of Soledad and Salinas mobile apps function in a way similar to the Monterey County app for reporting road safety and maintenance issues.
Another app available for download to mobile devices is called SeeClickFix. The app, developed by an outside vendor, works with many municipalities throughout the U.S. to manage citizen reports regarding road safety and maintenance issues. The City of Seaside uses SeeClickFix as a mobile app and has incorporated it into its website. The CGJ is not aware of other vendors offering similar services. Many cities use the 311 referral system to report road safety issues. It functions similarly to the 211 system available in Monterey County for requesting information regarding social services.
California Department of Transportation (Caltrans)
According to its website, Caltrans manages more than 50,000 miles of California's highway and freeway lanes, provides inter-city rail services, permits more than 400 publicuse airports and special-use hospital heliports, and works with local agencies. Caltrans carries out its mission with six primary programs: Aeronautics, Highway Transportation, Mass Transportation, Transportation Planning, Administration, and the Equipment Service Center. California is divided into 12 districts, Monterey County is in District 5 along with San Benito, San Luis Obispo, Santa Cruz and Santa Barbara Counties. A total of 888 Caltrans employees are assigned to District 5.
Caltrans has a comprehensive customer service request portal on its website that is monitored and tracked. During the three-year period from February 2022 to February 2025, a total of 1,063 Customer Service Requests were received regarding State 10 58
highways in Monterey County according to documentation provided by Caltrans. The CGJ found that requesting parties routinely receive feedback regarding their inquiries.
Transportation Agency for Monterey County (TAMC)
TAMC is the state-designated regional transportation planning agency for Monterey County. It provides long-range planning and projections of future needs. TAMC’s mission is to develop and maintain a multimodal transportation system that enhances mobility, safety, access, environmental quality, and economic activities in Monterey County. TAMC achieves this by preparing extensive plan documents, with public input, and by applying for, receiving, and disbursing funds for transportation projects countywide. It does not “own” any roads in the county but works collaboratively with multiple jurisdictions who do own them.
Many factors go into prioritizing which projects are funded. Collision data is just one tool used to determine road safety improvement projects. Up-to-date information regarding collisions in Monterey County is difficult for the public to obtain because multiple agencies collect and analyze such data often in different ways. One such source is the Statewide Integrated Traffic Record System (SWITRS) that utilizes information gathered by the California Highway Patrol (CHP). Data are updated quarterly, most recently in December 2024, and is viewable on the Transportation Injury Mapping System (TIMS) published by UC Berkeley. One of the most comprehensive Collision Data Maps for Monterey County residents may be found on TAMC’s website, yet it has not been updated since 2018.
In 2023, it was announced that TAMC would receive $640,000 in federal funding to develop a Monterey County Vision Zero Plan, a comprehensive county-wide safety action plan developed in collaboration with partner agencies and other stakeholders to promote coordinated solutions to reduce fatalities and injuries due to traffic collisions in Monterey County. This funding could be used to update the Collision Data Map on TAMC’s website so that the public can find information regarding collisions in areas of interest. 11 59
According to officials at TAMC, its website receives few visits, and public participation at its meetings is sporadic. The Contact Us page invites the public to request meeting agendas, and the Public Outreach page invites the public to complete a survey asking questions about how people would prefer to be informed about TAMC’s activities. Only one response was received during the last two years. For the form to be more useful to both TAMC and the public, the survey could be expanded to include a section providing the opportunity to submit a concern about a road and/or traffic safety issue.
Public involvement is essential for the planning, safety, and maintenance of roads.
Monterey County residents and visitors benefit when it is easy for them to participate and report unsafe conditions.

Re: 2024-2025 Monterey County Civil Grand Jury Report – “Road Safety in Monterey County: Where to Report a Problem”
Dear Judge Hulsey,
This letter is in response to the 2024-2025 Monterey County Civil Grand Jury Report – “Road Safety in Monterey County: Where to Report a Problem”. This letter shall serve as the Mayor and City Council (collectively, the “City Council”) of Sand City’s (“City”) response to that report, pursuant to California Penal Code section 933.
As requested by the Grand Jury, the City reviewed the report and provides the responses below to the findings and recommendations set forth therein. We note that County Counsel’s transmittal letter mistakenly says the City is responsible for responding to Finding F6 and Recommendation R6 – rather, the report identifies the City’s responsibilities under Findings F1, F2 and Recommendations R1, R2. Please inform the City Manager’s office if additional responses are required. The City Council of Sand City authorized the following responses to the Grand Jury’s Report at its June 3, 2025 City Council meeting:
Findings of the Grand Jury Investigation:
Finding F1. The cities of Del Rey Oaks and Sand City do not have links to an online service request on the home pages of their websites, making it difficult for citizens to report an issue.
Response: The City Council agrees with the finding as it relates to Sand City. While the City does have a link to an online complaint form on its website, it agrees that there is not a separate link to an online service request for reporting road safety or maintenance issues.
67 F2. Sand City’s online public complaint form is tailored to complaints against a business or person. There is no separate service request form for reporting road safety or maintenance issues.
Response: The City Council agrees with the finding. While the City does have a link to an online complaint form on its website, it agrees that the existing complaint form is focused on complaints against a business or person.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
R1. The cities of Del Rey Oaks and Sand City add a link to the online service request form to the home pages of their websites by 7/31/2025.
Response: The City will implement this recommendation. The City is in the process of redesigning its entire website which is expected to be completed in the summer of 2025. The City will include a link to an online service request form to report road safety or maintenance issues on its new site.
R2. Sand City amend its public complaint form to include requests for service regarding road safety and maintenance issues by 9/30/2025.
Response: The City has implemented this recommendation. Upon receiving the report, the City has already adjusted its website to make it clear that requests for service regarding road safety and maintenance issues may be reported on the form.
Please contact me if you have any questions or require additional information.
Sincerely,
Vibeke Norgaard

Dear Fiscal Officer:
Subject: Price Factor and Population Information
Appropriations Limit
California Revenue and Taxation Code Section 2227 requires the Department of Finance to transmit an estimate of the percentage change in population to local governments. Each local jurisdiction must use their percentage change in population factor for January 1, 2025, in conjunction with a change in the cost of living, or price factor, to calculate their appropriations limit for fiscal year 2025-26. Attachment A provides the change in California’s per capita personal income and an example for utilizing the price factor and population percentage change factor to calculate the 2025-26 appropriations limit. Attachment B provides the city and unincorporated county population percentage change along with the population percentage change for counties and their summed incorporated areas. The population percentage change data excludes federal and state institutionalized populations and military populations.
Population Percent Change for Special Districts
Some special districts must establish an annual appropriations limit. California Revenue and Taxation Code Section 2228 provides additional information regarding the appropriations limit.
Article XIII B, Section 9(C) of the California Constitution exempts certain special districts from the appropriations limit calculation mandate. The code section and the California Constitution can be accessed at the following website: http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes.xhtml.
Special districts required by law to calculate their appropriations limit must present the calculation as part of their annual audit. Any questions special districts have on this requirement should be directed to their county, district legal counsel, or the law itself. No state agency reviews the local appropriations limits.
Population Certification
The population certification program applies only to cities and counties. California Revenue and Taxation Code Section 11005.6 mandates Finance to automatically certify any population estimate that exceeds the current certified population with the State Controller’s Office. Finance will certify the higher estimate to the State Controller by June 1, 2025.
Please Note: The prior year’s city population estimates may be revised. The per capita personal income change is based on historical data.
If you have any questions regarding this data, please contact the Demographic Research Unit at (916) 323-4086.

Attachment A
A. Price Factor: Article XIII B specifies that local jurisdictions select their cost of living factor to compute their appropriation limit by a vote of their governing body. The cost of living factor provided here is per capita personal income. If the percentage change in per capita personal income is selected, the percentage change to be used in setting the fiscal year 2025-26 appropriation limit is:
Per Capita Personal Income
Fiscal Year Percentage change
(FY) over prior year
2025-26 6.44
B. Following is an example using sample population change and the change in California per capita personal income as growth factors in computing a 2025-26 appropriation limit.
2025-26:
Per Capita Cost of Living Change = 6.44 percent
Population Change = 0.28 percent
Per Capita Cost of Living converted to a ratio: 6.44 + 100 = 1.0644 100
Population converted to a ratio: 0.28 + 100 = 1.0028
100
Calculation of factor for FY 2025-26: 1.0644 x 1.0028 = 1.0674

STAFF REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Vibeke Norgaard, City Manager and Audrey Cray, HR/Risk Manager SUBJECT: Resolution to Approve Fiscal Year 2024-2025 & 2025-2026 Salary Schedule for General Employees and 2024-2027 Salary Schedule for POA DATE: June 03, 2025
_______________________________________________________________________ BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
State law requires that Cities contracting with CalPERS adopt a publicly available pay schedule that identifies the title for every employee position at the City, shows the pay rate for each position, and indicates the effective date of any revisions. (2 CCR 570.5(a)(1)-(8)).
The schedule is required to be posted on the City’s website. The City established a pay schedule in 1991 (Resolution SC-29, 1991) and has updated it by resolution.
On April 15, 2025, the City Council held a closed session to consider the salaries of the City’s non-POA regular employees as that term is defined in the Sand City Personnel manual section A(3)(c) (“Miscellaneous Employees”) which also includes the hourly Reserve Officer as the position is not represented in the POA MOU. The Council authorized a COLA of 4% to be granted to the City’s Miscellaneous Employees effective in the first full pay period after the approval of the resolution, a 3% COLA effective FY 25/26 and another 3% COLA effective FY 26/27. The updated Salary Schedule for 26/27 will come before the City Council at a date closer to July 2026.
On May 20, 2025, the Council approved a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Sand City Police Officer’s Association. The MOU has been executed. This action is to revise the publicly available salary schedule to reflect the salary changes approved by the Council.
The proposed FY 2024-2025 General Employees Salary Schedule reflects the following changes:
4% COLA for all Non Sworn positions effective June 1, 2025. (This proposal does not include an increase to the salaries of the City Manager and Chief of Police who have separate contracts),
83 The amendment to the salary schedule also updates the City Manager’s Salary to reflect her current contract approved on July 1st, 2024 The proposed FY 2025-2026 General Employees Salary Schedule reflects the following changes:
3% COLA for all Non-Sworn positions, effective July 1, 2025. (This proposal does not include an increase to the salaries of the City Manager and Chief of Police who have separate contracts).
The proposed FY 2024-2027 POA Salary Schedule reflects the following changes:
4% COLA for Hourly Reserve Officer for remainder of FY 24/25 effective June 1, 2025
3% COLA for Hourly Reserve Officer for FY 25/26 effective July 1, 2025 4% COLA for positions covered under POA MOU effective June 1, 2025 (with approved retroactive pay for July 1, 2024- December 31, 2024) 3% COLA for position covered under POA MOU effective July 1, 2025 CEQA:
This action does not constitute a "project" as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) guidelines section 15378.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The cost to the City’s FY 24/25 budget is $3,896.00 and is included in the approved FY 24/25 budget. The cost to the City for 3% COLA in FY 25/26 and FY 26/27 will be $95,845 and $95,901.31 respectively and will be included in the budget during the normal budget process for those Fiscal Years.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Council approve the FY 2024-25 & FY 2025-26 General Employees Salary Schedule and the FY 2024-2027 POA Salary Schedule Resolution.

STAFF REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Vibeke Norgaard, City Manager and Audrey Cray, HR/Risk Manager SUBJECT: Resolution of the City Council to Authorize Health Care Benefit Changes DATE: June 03, 2025
_______________________________________________________________________ BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
On April 15, 2025, the City Council held a closed session to consider the health benefits for all benefit eligible employees. At this closed session meeting, City Council recognized the importance of providing its valued employees with a benefit that ensures the employee and their immediate family members receive quality healthcare. Therefore, the City Council agreed to increase the monthly employer paid health benefit contribution, effective June 1, 2025, to be as follows:
Employee Only: $1,055.10
Employee + 1: $2,027.40
Employee + Family: $2,635.62
The above amounts include the statutory minimum contribution under the Public Employees’ Medical and Hospital Care Act (“PEMHCA”).
