Dear Mr. Agrawal,
I am writing to you as a concerned landlord of a property adjacent to 3378-3386 El Camino Real.
I am responding to a notice sent by the city regarding project title: 3378-3385 El Camino Rea! Residential Project, File PLN22-00304 and PLN23-00024. We are the owners of 3362 and 3368 El Camino Real in Santa Clara, CA 95051, APN 290-02-103. Our property is immediately to the east of 3378-3386 El Camino Real. We would like to express our concerns and possible negative implications of the development of Twenty two 3- story town homes, as proposed. The development may have a SIGNIFICANT impact of obstruction of our billboard signage with our leasing agreement with OUTFRONT Inc. We have had a 25+ year business relationship with OUTFRONT INC and its predecessor companies. This effect may have significant negative financial consequences with our leasing agreement.
Additionally, this project may also obstruct the signage from view from the streets of our current tenants, EURO AUTO SALES. We request a thorough inquiry, investigation, and due diligence that the proposed project will not have a negative effect on visual access to the billboard sign from the street level.
Thank you for your attention.
Sincerely yours,

DECLARATION TEXT REVISIONS
This section contains revisions to the text of the 3378-3386 El Camino Real Residential IS/MND dated June 2023. Revised or new language is underlined. All deletions are shown with a line through the text.
Section 4.1.1.2, The third paragraph will be REVISED as follows:
Immediately east of the site is a used car dealership. A one-story office is located on the dealership lot and is set back further from El Camino Real than the existing building on-site. A billboard is located on the dealership lotsite, adjacent to the property line shared with the project site. A two-story, multifamily apartment complex is located south of the project site. Refer to Photos 3 and 4. A full access driveway along El Camino Real (adjacent to the west boundary of the project site) provides access and parking to the apartment complex, in addition to the two-story commercial building located west of the site.
Similar to the existing commercial buildings along El Camino Real, the two-story building is set back from the roadway via sidewalks and a surface parking lot. The building is occupied by various businesses and entrances are located along the eastern building façade. West of this building is a mixed-use development currently under construction. Refer to Photos 5 and 6.
Section 4.17.1.1, A new subheading and paragraph will be ADDED under the State
Caltrans District 4 Bike Plan (2018)
The Caltrans District 4 Bike Plan (Bike Plan) was developed in cooperation with local and regional partners to ensure that the improvements to the State highway system complement proposals for local networks. The Bike Plan identifies infrastructure improvements that can enhance bicycle safety and mobility throughout District 4 and removes some of the barriers to bicycling in the region and prioritizes utilitarian bicycle travel to work, school, shopping, and other similar purposes, or to connect to transit.
Section 4.17.1.1, A new subheading and paragraph will be ADDED under the State
Caltrans District 4 Pedestrian Plan (2021)

COUNCIL PILLAR
Enhance Community Engagement and Transparency
BACKGROUND
The City has experienced significant recruitment challenges for the position of Public Safety Dispatcher in the Police Department. Public agencies across the State are experiencing similar recruiting challenges. In the Fiscal Year 2023/24 Adopted Operating Budget, there are 21.0 budgeted Dispatcher positions (16.0 Public Safety Dispatcher and 5 Senior Public Safety Dispatcher positions). As of November 2023, the City has 6.0 Public Safety Dispatcher vacancies. The City is continuously recruiting for these positions. And while many applications are received, many applicants are screened out during the Police Department’s background process. The Communications Operations Manager position that manages and supervises the Communications Dispatch Center, is also currently vacant.
The City has taken several steps to ensure efficient supervision and operation of the Communications Dispatch Center during the current time. This includes temporarily assigning a Police Captain to oversee the Center, with added support from a Lieutenant and well as training Officers to support dispatch operations as time permits. Further, the City has implemented several efforts to attract candidates to apply for the Public Safety Dispatcher positions. This includes, but not limited to: increased emphasis on the benefits of working for the City and Police Department; updating the classification specifications by including more relevant evaluation tools; revamping and updating the new employee training program; and authorizing as-needed staff to help supplement full -time staff.
Since these efforts have been implemented, the City has hired three Public Safety Dispatchers with an 18-month probationary period. During this period, the employees go through a rigorous training program and are regularly evaluated to determine if they will be successful in the position.
In an effort to attract Lateral Dispatchers from other agencies who are already trained and experienced in Public Safety Dispatch Communications, the City and the Public Safety Non-Sworn City of Santa Clara Page 1 of 4 Printed on 12/1/2023

Employees Association (Unit 10), reached a Side Letter Agreement to provide an Incentive Program for Lateral Dispatchers that are hired.
Since the permanent Dispatchers are currently working additional shifts to ensure staffing coverage for the 24/7 Communications Center, and in recognition of their commitment to the City, the City and Unit 10, reached a Side Letter Agreement to provide a retention bonus for permanent Public Safety Dispatchers over the next 3 years.
In addition, the City is currently recruiting As-Needed Per Diem Dispatchers for the Police Department to supplement the full-time staff, while the City continues to recruit for the full-time positions. In an effort to attract experienced Dispatchers to apply for part-time temporary work with the City, the City is also recommending the creation of the As-Needed classification for the Police Department at the rate of $75/hour.
DISCUSSION
The recommended action authorizes the City Manager to execute the Side Letter Agreements that will provide a Lateral Incentive Program for new hires and a Retention Program for permanent Public Safety Dispatchers. Additionally, the recommendation includes the addition of an As-Needed Per Diem Dispatcher classification in the Police Department.
The following is a summary of the notable provisions of the Side Letter Agreements, addition of the As-Needed Per Diem Dispatcher classification in the Police Department, and a complete copy of the Side Letter Agreements are attached.
Lateral Incentive Program
Effective December 5, 2023, Lateral new hires in the Public Safety Dispatcher II (Job Code 340), Public Safety Dispatcher III (Job Code 341), or Senior Public Safety Dispatcher (Job Code 725) classifications, shall be eligible for a recruitment incentive as follows:
· Recruitment Incentive of no more than $7,500 total, subject to applicable taxes, pursuant to the following time frames:
o $2,500 at hire
o $2,500 at completion of training
o $2,500 at completion of the probationary period
Retention Incentive Program
Effective December 5, 2023, permanent employees who are actively employed in the classifications of Public Safety Dispatcher I (Job Code 339), Public Safety Dispatcher II (Job Code 340), Public Safety Dispatcher III (Job Code 341), or Senior Public Safety Dispatcher (Job Code 725) (collectively “Qualifying Classifications”) on any of the following dates shall be eligible for the retention bonus program totaling no more than $8,000, subject to applicable taxes:
· December 5, 2023: $4,000
· The first day of the first full pay period in December 2024: $2,000 · The first day of the first full pay period in December 2025: $2,000 Employees may elect to have the Retention Incentive deposited as a Lump Sum payment deposited City of Santa Clara Page 2 of 4 Printed on 12/1/2023
powered by Legistar™
23-1414 Agenda Date: 12/5/2023
into their Deferred Compensation Account (subject to IRS maximum contribution limits). If the employee does not elect the deposit of the Lump Sum payment into their Deferred Compensation Account or if the money cannot be lawfully deposited, the one-time payment shall be issued. The lump sum payment is non-pensionable and will not be reported to CalPERS. The parties also agree that this payment is intended to be specific to the pay period in which it is paid and is to be considered part of the regular rate for the applicable pay period only.
As-Needed Public Safety Dispatcher Classification
Effective December 10, 2023, the classification of Per Diem Dispatcher (Citywide) (Job Code 617) shall be added to the As-Needed Salary Plan with an hourly rate of $75. Incumbents in this classification shall be hired to perform Dispatcher duties in the Communications Dispatch Center in the Police Department. The existing As-Needed classification of Per Diem Dispatcher (Job Code 618) shall be renamed to Per Diem Dispatcher (Stadium) (Job Code 618) and the hourly rate of $60 shall remain unchanged.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The action being considered does not constitute a “project” within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378(b)(5) in that it is a governmental organizational or administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect changes in the environment.
FISCAL IMPACT
The cost of providing the Lateral Incentive Program totaling up to $7,500 per Lateral Dispatcher hire is anticipated to be funded by the existing Police Department budget. This cost would be spread across two fiscal years based on the training and probationary periods. It is not known how many lateral dispatchers will be hired; there are currently six dispatcher vacancies.
The cost of the Retention Incentive Program totaling up to $8,000 per permanent Public Safety Dispatcher will be funded by the existing Police Department’s budget. This cost will be spread across three fiscal years. Based on the currently filled 15.0 dispatcher positions, the cost is projected at $60,000 in FY 2023/24, $30,000 in FY 2024/25 and $30,000 in FY 2025/26.
It is difficult to determine the fiscal impact of hiring Per Diem Dispatcher (Citywide). The cost will be dependent upon the number of As-Needed positions that are authorized, and the number of hours that each incumbent is available to work on a weekly basis. These hours shall be limited to no more than 999 hours per person, per fiscal year.
Staff will continue to monitor the Police Department budget and bring forward a budget amendment at year-end, if necessary.

REPORT TO COUNCIL
SUBJECT
Authorize the City Manager to Negotiate and Execute an Agreement for Services with Nalco Company, LLC, to Provide Water Treatment Services to Silicon Valley Power
COUNCIL PILLAR
Deliver and Enhance High Quality Efficient Services and Infrastructure
BACKGROUND
The City of Santa Clara’s electric utility, Silicon Valley Power (SVP), administers a comprehensive water treatment program at the Donald Von Raesfeld (DVR) and Cogeneration #1 (Cogen) power plants. This program helps SVP (1) comply with safety and environmental requirements, (2) maximize power plant reliability and availability, and (3) extend the life of the power plant equipment by preventing corrosion.
In support of its water treatment program, SVP utilizes a third-party service provider to perform water quality tests, chemical delivery, inventory management, and onsite/offsite laboratory analysis. The contract with the current service provider is set to expire on December 31, 2023.
DISCUSSION
Pursuant to City Code Section 2.105.140(c), a formal Request for Proposals (RFP) was conducted, with the award recommendation based on “best value.”
An RFP for Water Treatment Support Services was published on the City’s e-procurement system on May 31, 2023. The proposed scope of work included: performance of water quality tests, chemical delivery, inventory management, and onsite/offsite laboratory analysis. Two proposals were received by the June 30, 2023, closing date, from the following firms:
· ChemTreat, Inc.
· Nalco Company, LLC (Nalco)
The proposals were independently evaluated by a three-member evaluation panel against the criteria and weights published in the RFP. Nalco was selected as the overall best value based on cost and experience with similar facilities, and other factors.
The maximum compensation in the proposed agreement is $1,200,000 over a five-year term starting on January 1, 2024, and ending on December 31, 2028, with five one-year options to extend the agreements to December 31, 2033. Rates for labor and materials are established in the agreements and subject to reasonable annual increase. Any rate increases are subject to approval by the City and must be substantiated by the contractor to the satisfaction of the City.

REPORT TO COUNCIL
SUBJECT
Action on a Request for a Special Permit to Allow Temporary Modular Trailers for the Acura Car Dealership at 4747 Stevens Creek Boulevard for Nine Months
COUNCIL PILLAR
Promote and Enhance Economic, Housing and Transportation Development
BACKGROUND
The applicant, Nina Raey, requests a Special Permit pursuant to Zoning Code Section 18.60.030 to allow installation of two temporary modular trailers for a period of nine months at the Acura car dealership located at 4747 Stevens Creek Boulevard. The purpose of the trailers is to provide a temporary office and restrooms for Acura employees to utilize during the remodel of the main dealership building.
The property is zoned Commercial Thoroughfare (CT). However, City Code Section 18.60.030 allows issuance of a Special Permit by the City Council in non-industrial zones for any temporary use not otherwise regulated within the Zoning Code.
DISCUSSION
The Acura car dealership will soon commence work on a renovation that will take several months to complete and displace some operations and employees. In order to provide accommodations for the displaced operations and employees, the dealership proposes temporary facilities that will consist of a pre-manufactured 60 foot by 36 foot office trailer and a 48 foot by 12 foot restroom trailer, located in the north parking lot of the subject property. There are 175 existing parking spaces in the parking lot, 30 of which will be utilized for the temporary office and restroom trailers; therefore 145 parking spaces will remain on-site for customer parking, employee parking, service parking, display parking and possible construction activity staging. There will be 24 employees working at this temporary modular facility at any given time throughout working hours. The hours of operation will be from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday. The temporary trailers will be on-site for nine months with the start date pending approval of the Special Permit. The proposed Permit (Attachment #3) includes conditions that restrict the activities to those as described here to minimize the potential for land use impacts.
Granting of a Special Permit requires the City Council to make certain findings consistent with City Code Section 18.60.030 (c). The proposed temporary use, with limited duration and operations proposed, is not anticipated to adversely impact the surrounding land uses in that the events will occur over a limited time period and will be subject to conditions which reduce potential negative impacts, including a condition of approval that the use be conducted in a manner that does not create a public or private nuisance. The Special Permit is subject to revocation should a problem arise.

There is no cost to the City other than administrative staff time and expense.

REPORT TO COUNCIL
SUBJECT
Action on Software License Agreement with ZE PowerGroup Authorizing Increase to Maximum Compensation, Authorizing City Manager to Negotiate and Execute Amendments, and Ratifying Prior Payments
COUNCIL PILLAR
Deliver and Enhance High Quality Efficient Services and Infrastructure
BACKGROUND
In 2016, the City entered into an agreement with ZE PowerGroup for the purchase of an end-to-end solution designed for collecting data, performing complex analysis, automating business processes, and integrating with third party systems. ZE PowerGroup’s software, called ZEMA software, increases accessibility, productivity and accuracy for energy scheduling, settlements, metering, and reporting. The ZEMA software allows Silicon Valley Power (SVP) to centralize various tools, programs, and systems under one platform, enabling the creation of near real-time reports that include energy market prices, electric load/generation, and gas prices. This allows staff to make better informed decisions and analyze the performance of power generation assets. ZE PowerGroup was originally selected through a competitive process, but the agreement was not Council-approved because the value of the agreement, as known in the first year, was below the requisite threshold for Council approval. Because the agreement automatically renews annually, after the first year, this agreement should have been submitted to City Council for authorization.
DISCUSSION
This report requests two authorizations as follows:
Ratification of Agreement Exceeding $250,000
The initial term of the agreement with ZE PowerGroup commenced in 2016 and has been renewed annually, with a maximum compensation of $80,000 for the first year. During a recent contract review, staff identified that the total payments made under the contract since its inception have exceeded $150,000 (the staff level authorization at the time the agreement was executed in 2016).
According to Section 2.105.300(a) of the Santa Clara City Code, contracts with a value exceeding $250,000 over a five-year period require approval by the City Council. As a result, staff is seeking City Council ratification of the payments made to ZE PowerGroup after the first year totaling $638,917.54 (total payments of $718,917.54 less $80,000 within staff approval threshold).
To avoid this similar situation in the future, in addition to ongoing internal review of any new agreements submitted for execution to assure long term costs and required authorizations are known, staff is regularly reviewing existing agreements and ongoing payments.

Authorization for Continued Use of the ZEMA Software
The ZEMA software has been critical to SVP’s management of multiple generation resources. This tool is utilized across multiple business units of SVP to benchmark asset performance, provide meter validation, aid in compliance reporting to various state agencies, and budget forecasting, to name a few. Therefore, as part of this report, staff is seeking authorization to renew the agreement annually through June 30, 2030, authorize the City Manager to negotiate and execute future amendments to add/delete services required to support the system, and increase the maximum approved compensation to $1,600,000, subject to the appropriation of funds and approval by the City Attorney as to form. SVP expects to continue using this software product (via automatic annual renewal) through fiscal year 2030, and the request for approval reflects the cost associated with that period of time. The breakdown is provided in Table 1 below.
Table 1
Description Total
Actual Total Payments (2017-2023) $ 718,917.54
Estimated Total Payments (2024-2030)* $ 680,976.16
Contingency $ 200,106.30
Not-to-Exceed Maximum Compensation (including
amendments or price escalation exceeding 3% annually)
$1,600,000.00
*Since the agreement was executed in 2016, the fee has increased annually, pursuant to the price escalation term in the agreement. This has typically been 3% but has been higher. The current annual fee is $102,210.88. Assuming a 3% annual increase, the estimated total payment for FY 2024-2030 is $680.976.16. Staff recommends additional authorization as a contingency in case there are future years where the annual increase is higher than 3% or in the event that an amendment is negotiated for additional services or products.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The actions being considered do not constitute a “project” within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to section 15060(c)(2) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations as it will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment as the proposed actions involve the extension of an existing software agreement to facilitate certain administrative actions, such as, energy scheduling, settlements, metering, and reporting.
FISCAL IMPACT
The total cost of this Agreement was $718,917.54 over the eight-year period from 2016 to 2023.
Staff recommends authorization for an additional $818,082.46 for an additional six-year period through FY 2029/30 for a total maximum compensation of $1,600,000. Sufficient funds are available in Electric Utility Fund in the FY 2023/24 Adopted Operating budget SVP Risk and Settlements program.
Funding for future years will be included in future proposed operating budgets through the budget process.
COORDINATION
This report has been coordinated with the Finance Department and City Attorney’s Office.

23-1401 Agenda Date: 12/5/2023
REPORT TO COUNCIL
SUBJECT
Approve and Authorize the City Manager to execute the 2024-2025 Memorandum of Understanding Between the City of Santa Clara and the Unclassified Police Management Association (“Unit 9A”) that incorporates the terms of the Tentative Agreement.
COUNCIL PILLAR
Enhance Community Engagement and Transparency.
BACKGROUND
The Memorandum of Understanding (hereafter, “MOU”) between the City of Santa Clara and the Unclassified Police Management Association (hereafter, “Unit 9A”) is scheduled to expire on December 31, 2023.
The City and Unit 9A began formal negotiations on a successor MOU in approximately July 2023. In October 2023, the parties reached a Tentative Agreement on the terms of a successor MOU which was ratified by Unit 9A membership.
DISCUSSION
The recommended action authorizes the City Manager to execute a successor MOU with a term of January 1, 2024, through December 31, 2025, that incorporates the terms of the Tentative Agreement reached between both parties. The following is a summary of the notable provisions of the Tentative Agreement; a complete copy of the Tentative Agreement is attached.
Term:
January 1, 2024 - December 31, 2025 (2 years)
Wages:
Effective December 24, 2023 (the first pay period of calendar year 2024):
§ The minimum salary of the Police Captain (Job Code 138) classification shall be increased by approximately seven percent (7.0%). This will result in incumbents receiving an approximate seven percent (7.0%) general wage increase. The maximum salary of the classification shall remain unchanged.
The minimum salary of the Police Captain (Job Code 138) classification is being adjusted upward to address the compaction that exists between the maximum salary range and special pays of the next lower level classification of Police Lieutenant (Job Code 645) and the bottom of the salary range of the Police Captain. The Police Lieutenant is the highest classification represented by the Santa Clara Police Officers Association (Unit 2) whose successor MOU included wage increases and adjustments to various pays for represented classifications. This resulted in the top salary step (Step 7) of a Police Lieutenant being higher than the minimum salary range for the Police Captain, which resulted in some compaction between the two classifications; it should be noted that Unit 9A classifications do not receive some of the special pays that Unit 2 classifications receive. The seven percent (7%) increase City of Santa Clara Page 1 of 4 Printed on 12/1/2023
powered by Legistar™
23-1401 Agenda Date: 12/5/2023
to the minimum salary of the Police Captain classification is intended to address the compaction issue. § The minimum salary of the Assistant Police Chief (Job Code 027) classification shall be increased by approximately four percent (4.0%). Incumbents will not receive a general wage increase. The maximum salary of the classification shall remain unchanged.
Effective the first pay period of calendar year 2025:
§ The salary range of the Police Captain (Job Code 138) classification shall be increased by approximately four percent (4%). This will result in incumbents receiving an approximate four percent (4%) general wage increase. The maximum salary of the classification will increase accordingly. § The salary range of the Assistant Police Chief (Job Code 027) classification shall be increased by approximately four percent (4.0%). Incumbents will receive a two percent (2%) general wage increase.
The maximum salary of the classification will increase accordingly.
The salary range is being adjusted by 4% to ensure that at least a 5% differential exists from the maximum salary of the Police Captain classification and maximum salary of the Assistant Police Chief classification.
One-Time Non-Pensionable Discretionary Cash Payment:
In recognition of, and to help secure the employees' speedy ratification of this MOU, the City has exercised its discretion to provide a one-time discretionary cash payment of $5,000 for employees in the Police Captain (Job Code 138) classification and $2,500 for employees in the Assistant Police Chief (Job Code 027) classification (pro-rated for part-time employees) following Council approval of this MOU. The Parties intend and understand that this lump sum payment is non-pensionable and will not be reported to CalPERS. An employee must be employed in a classification specified above at the time the one-time discretionary cash payment is made to receive the payment.
Merit Increase:
Employees in the Assistant Police Chief (Job Code 027) classification shall be ineligible for a merit increase in calendar year 2024.
POST Certification Incentive Pay:
Effective December 24, 2023 (the first pay period for calendar year 2024), employees in Unit 9A shall be eligible for 3.75% of base pay for the Supervisory Peace Officer Standards and Training (or “POST”) Certification, and an additional 3.75% of base for the Management POST Certification, for a maximum of 7.5% of base pay. Currently, employees receive 2.5% of base pay for Intermediate POST Certification and additional
2.5% (for a total of 5.0%) for the Advanced POST Certification. This change will increase the maximum POST Certification Incentive Pay from 5.0% to 7.5% of base pay. Employees will receive an additional 2.5% POST Certification pay, if they meet the requirements.
Vacation Accrual:
Employees in the classification of Assistant Police Chief (Job Code 027) as of October 30, 2023, may elect to freeze the value of their Temporary Supplemental Vacation Accrual Hours at the employee’s rate of pay as of October 30, 2023. Employees who have opted to file such an election (including a release of claims) may use either Temporary Supplemental Vacation Accrual Hours or accrued vacation for time off. Upon the employee’s retirement or other separation from City service, all Temporary Supplemental Vacation Accrual Hours will be cashed out at the employee’s rate of pay in effect as of October 30, 2023.
Healthcare:
Effective January 1, 2024, the City will pay 100% of the premium of the lowest priced Kaiser (Region 1) plan for employees in Unit 9A enrolled at the Employee Only and Employee Plus One levels, and 90% of the City of Santa Clara Page 2 of 4 Printed on 12/1/2023
powered by Legistar™
23-1401 Agenda Date: 12/5/2023
for employees in Unit 9A enrolled at the Employee Only and Employee Plus One levels, and 90% of the premium of the lowest priced Kaiser (Region 1) plan for employees in Unit 9A enrolled in the Employee Plus Two or More level. Employees who select a plan whose premium exceeds the City contribution described above will be responsible for the difference. Employees will not receive any portion of the City’s contribution as cash or any other taxable benefit.
Current employees hired with the City on or before December 31, 2023, who choose not to enroll in a City health plan and meets the requirements set forth in the MOU shall continue to receive a cash-in-lieu amount equal to $835.66/month, while employees hired or rehired on or after January 1, 2024, shall receive a cash-inlieu amount of $250/month.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The action being considered does not constitute a “project” within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378(b)(5) in that it is a governmental organizational or administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect changes in the environment.
FISCAL IMPACT
The City regularly budgets the total compensation cost for its current employees and integrates known and projected cost increases from MOUs in the City’s annual budget. The ten-year forecast also incorporates the projected labor costs. The costs of this MOU are within budget authority approved by the City Council through the negotiation process, and these changes will be incorporated into the FY 2024/25 budget and the next tenyear forecast. No budget amendment is recommended at this time as these costs are anticipated to be funded within the existing appropriations. Staff will continue to monitor the Police Department budget throughout the year and determine if a budget amendment is necessary by year-end.
The chart below reflects the estimated changes in costs in the General Fund as well as all funds over the term of the MOU.

The costs associated with the changes to healthcare cannot be determined at this time as the City cannot predict enrollment behavior, especially with the change to the City paying 90% of the lowest priced Kaiser (Region 1) premium for employees who enroll in Employee Plus Two or More level and the change to the health in-lieu amount.

The $136.00/month applies for 2019, and this amount shall be modified each calendar year using the Rate of Pay Safe Harbor (based on the lowest base pay of any full-time employee covered by this MOU) to ensure the City's offered coverage is "affordable." Employees who enroll in a City health plan for which the premium amount is more than $835.66/month shall receive an Additional Health Flex Contribution. The Additional Health Flex Contribution, when added to the Health Flex Contribution described in the prior paragraph and the Regular Flex Contribution described herein, shall equal $200 per month over the Kaiser employee only premium amount for the applicable year. (For 2019, this is an additional $134.36/month to these individuals, since $200 over the Kaiser employee only amount in 2019 is $970.02/month.)
Employees may not receive all or any portion of the health Flex Contribution or Additional Health Flex Contribution as cash or any other taxable benefit, and must apply the Health Flex Contribution to City-offered health benefits. Employees who do not enroll in Cityoffered health benefits will not receive any of the health Flex Contribution. It is understood and agreed that a portion of the Health Flex Contribution described in this subsection is the City's contribution of the statutorily required minimum contribution under the Public Employees Medical and Hospital Care Act (PEMHCA) (e.g. $133 in 2018), which is the City`s designated PEMHCA amount.
The City currently contracts with the California Public Employees' Retirement System (CalPERS) for the purpose of providing medical insurance benefits for active employees and their eligible dependents, eligible retired employees, and eligible survivors of retired employees. Eligibility of a dependent to participate in this program shall be in accordance with the terms of the Public Employees’ Medical and Hospital Care Act (PEMHCA).
Eligibility of retired employees and survivors of retired employees to participate in this program shall be in accordance with those provisions of the PEMHCA providing for participation by “annuitants.”
The City’s employer contribution towards medical insurance benefits for each eligible employee shall be the minimum contribution amount required by Government Code Section 22892. Contributions provided under this Section are required only to the extent mandated by the PEMHCA.
Because CalPERS may change carriers and plans, the City shall not be required to provide a specific insurance coverage and shall only be required to provide those benefits as described in this Section so long as the City contracts for benefits with CalPERS for medical insurance benefits.

21. DOMESTIC PARTNERS
The City shall make all benefit programs available to employees, dependents and domestic partners, subject to the requirements of each benefit provider.
22. CHEMICAL TESTING
It is the policy of the City of Santa Clara, the Santa Clara Police Department and the Association to provide and maintain a drug and alcohol free work environment for all employees. The above parties recognize and agree that the duties, responsibilities and actions of a police officer may expose the City, the Department and its employees to possible civil or criminal liabilities in the area of drug and alcohol use. In order to address the above concerns, all parties agree as follows:
It will be the responsibility of any represented employee to comply with the Santa Clara Police Department policy on drug and alcohol use, and pursuant thereto, to submit to a blood test as appropriate and chosen by the involved employee, when ordered by the Chief of Police or his/her designee. A breath test may be chosen only if alcohol use is suspected. All chemical testing shall be administered in a medically approved manner and as soon as practical after being ordered, but no later than six (6) hours after the incident, in the case of A, B, C, or D listed below, whether the employee is on-duty or off-duty at the time of the occurrence whenever any of the following occur:
A. Any incident in which a firearm is discharged by an employee, acting under color of authority, and death or serious injury is likely to occur. Furthermore, unless the death or serious injury of another occurs, this section will not apply to incidents in which a firearm is discharged accidentally, as a warning shot, or at a dangerous or suffering animal. For the purpose of this section, the use of an extended range impact weapon is not defined as a firearm discharge unless used as deadly force.
B. Any intentional use of any other deadly or dangerous weapon by an Officer, or an intentional act on the part of an Officer, which proximately causes the death or, or injury likely to produce death to another.
C. Any traffic accident involving an employee operating a City-owned vehicle which results in death of another or any traffic accident involving an employee operating a City-owned vehicle which results in an injury likely to produce death to another and the employee appears to be the proximate cause of the accident.
D. Any incident where the Chief of Police or his/her designee has a reasonable belief based upon objective symptoms that an employee is in violation of the departmental policy on drug or alcohol use. The verbal order to submit to a chemical test(s) shall I - ___ _
MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING — UNIT # 9A (December 2018 – December 2023January 1, 2024 – December 31, 2025))
- 21 -
set forth the reasons for the test(s) and shall be followed at the time the test is administered by a written statement of the order.
E. Any reasonable incident where the Chief of Police or his/her designee develops reasonable suspicion that an employee has used illegal drugs. Reasonable suspicion will be defined as that quantity of proof or evidence that is more than a hunch, but less that probable cause and must be based on objective and articulable facts sufficient to lead a reasonable, prudent supervisor to suspect that an employee has used illegal drugs.
The following examples, alone or in combination, may constitute reasonable suspicion:
1) A pattern of documented abnormal or erratic behavior that indicates potential drug use;
2) Direct observation of drug or alcohol use by a reliable and credible source; 3) Corroborated information provided by a reliable and credible source that an employee has engaged in illegal drug use, the identity of which source shall be available to the employee and the association.
F. Employees being assigned to, or being rotated out of specific assignments shall be subject to drug testing at the beginning and at the end of such assignments. These assignments include the Specialized Crimes Action Team (SCAT), Santa Clara County Special Enforcement Team (SCCSET), the Administrative Narcotics Investigator, and the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) task force.
Demands for drug or alcohol analysis by supervisors which are determined to be malicious will not be tolerated and may subject the directing individual to disciplinary action.
"Designee" is defined as any sworn Santa Clara Police Officer with the rank of Assistant Chief, Captain, Lieutenant or Sergeant.
In the event any portion of the Chemical Testing policy herein described in this MOU is in conflict with any non-negotiated policy, procedure, manual or directive, including the Police Operations Manual, the provisions of this MOU shall prevail.
Nothing is this section shall prevent any represented employee from voluntarily requesting or providing a chemical sample if deemed appropriate by the employee.
23. EMPLOYEE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM
The City agrees to provide a confidential Employee Assistance Program to be funded outside of Total Compensation.
24. MERIT PAY/SALARY ADJUSTMENT PROGRAM

The Merit Pay Adjustment system shall include the following elements:
A. Each Unit 9A employee shall receive an annual evaluation.
B. Annual consideration of merit pay adjustments, subject to Section 24.G F below, with an affirmative decision by the applicable Department Head shall be required each year following the annual evaluation.
C. Merit pay adjustments shall range from 0 to 5%, subject to Section 24.G F below.
D. In 2017, employees are eligible for a merit pay adjustment based on an evaluation prepared by February 2, 2017, which date will be their merit pay anniversary each year going forward.
1) Notwithstanding D. above, for employees that have been employed a full year as of February 2, 2017, they will be eligible on their actual anniversary date, which shall also be their merit pay anniversary date thereafter. 2) Notwithstanding D. above, for employees that receive a merit increase between January 1, 2016 and February 2, 2017, the date of their last merit increase shall be their new merit pay anniversary date. 3) If a Department Head has not completed an evaluation in time for a merit adjustment by an employee’s anniversary date (February 2, 2017 for most employees), the applicable merit pay adjustment once determined shall be made retroactive to the first full pay period following the anniversary date (and to February 2, 2017 for those persons whose anniversary date is February 2, 2017).

(a) A current active City employee promoted from another bargaining unit into a position in a classification assigned to Unit 9A between January 1, 2021, and December 31, 2022, shall be ineligible for a merit increase until the employee’s third rating period form the effective date of the promotion.
(b) A current active City employee holding a position in a classification assigned to Unit 9A as of the effective date of this agreement who is promoted into or accepts another position in Unit 9A between January 1, 2021, and December 31, 2022, shall be ineligible for a merit increase unless the employee has skipped two (2) consecutive rating periods where they did not receive a merit increase since January 1, 2021. 2) Employees in the Assistant Police Chief (Job Code 027) classification as of January 1, 2024, shall be ineligible for a merit increase in calendar year 2024.
Employees in the Assistant Police Chief (Job Code 027) classification shall not be eligible for a merit increase until the employee’s rating period ending in calendar year 2025.
25. ASSOCIATION DUES DEDUCTION
All employees within the bargaining unit may voluntarily join the Police Management Association and pay dues, initiation fees, and general assessments, as well as payment of any other membership benefit program sponsored by the organization (hereinafter "payroll deductions") as determined by the Police Management Association. It shall be the responsibility of the Police Management Association to maintain a record of employees who have given their written consent to join and pay dues to the Police Management Association. The Police Management Association shall certify to the City the identity of such members and the amount of such payroll deductions to be deducted.
The City agrees to deduct the periodic payroll deductions from the paycheck of each employee who voluntarily executes a valid authorization form as certified by the Police Management Association, or pursuant to an authorization form tendered to the City by either the Police Management Association or the employee. All sums deducted by the City shall be remitted to the Police Management Association in an expedient manner and at the intervals requested by the Police Management Association (i.e., no more than seven (7) calendar days after the deduction), together with a list of names of each employee for whom a deduction was made.
If an employee member in the bargaining unit desires to revoke, cancel or change prior dues deduction authorization, the City shall direct the employee member to the Police Management Association. Any such dues deduction revocation, cancellation and/or change shall only be effective when submitted by the Police Management Association directly to the City and is subject to the terms and conditions as set forth in the original payroll deduction/authorization.
Notification will be provided to the City's Payroll Division. Any change, cancellation or deduction request received by the City prior to the 15th of the month will be processed I - ___ _
MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING — UNIT # 9A (December 2018 – December 2023January 1, 2024 – December 31, 2025))
- 24 -
the first full pay period of the following month. Change, cancellation and deduction requests received by the City on or after the 15th of the month will be processed the second full pay period of the following month.
The Police Management Association shall indemnify and hold the City and its agents and employees harmless from any cost, expense, fee or liability resulting from any claims, demands, lawsuits, or any other action arising from the operation of this Section.
The City shall promptly provide the Police Management Association with notice of any such claim, demand, lawsuit, or any other similar action arising from the operation of this Section.
26. PAY PERIODS
Allowances/payments or accrual rates that are an agreed upon amount per month or year but are paid for administrative purposes in incremental amounts each pay period, shall be the same total amount per year in years in which there are 27 instead of 26 pay periods. This clarification is not intended to and would not modify anyone's salary/pay rate.
27. LIGHT BODY ARMOR
All currently issued light body armor and vest carriers shall be replaced at City expense five (5) years from the date of issue.
New or replacement body armor shall be a minimum of a Threat Level #3A classification and shall be replaced by the City upon the expiration of the manufacturer's warranty for that unmodified dealer issued unit. Any represented employee may purchase a vest of his/her choice provided that it meets or exceeds the City's warranty and protection requirement; however, the employee must bear the difference in cost between the allocation provided and determined by the City and the actual cost of the vest of his/her choice. All body armor issued to represented employees shall be new and custom fitted to the individual officer. The City will also provide and replace vest carriers consistent with Departmental standards. Unit members may purchase vest carriers of their own choice so long as they meet the Department’s minimum standards; however, the employee must pay the difference in cost between the actual cost of the vest carrier and Departmental allocation for vest carriers.
Body armor and vest carriers damaged in the course and scope of employment shall be replaced immediately if determined to be unserviceable, or otherwise requiring replacement in the opinion of the Department. Body armor and vest carriers damaged by misuse or gross negligence shall be replaced subject to a pro rata formula based upon the manufacturer's warranty (e.g., if a vest is damaged by misuse after 3 years, the Department will pay 60% (3/5) of the Departmental allocation towards a replacement vest and the employee will be responsible for the remainder of the replacement cost).
All body armor and vest carriers, regardless of the purchaser, shall remain the property of the City.
The employee is required to wear this equipment whenever he/she is performing general law enforcement duties outside the Police Administration Building and in uniform.

It is the policy of the City of Santa Clara, the Santa Clara Police Department and the Association to provide and maintain a drug and alcohol free work environment for all employees. The above parties recognize and agree that the duties, responsibilities and actions of a police officer may expose the City, the Department and its employees to possible civil or criminal liabilities in the area of drug and alcohol use. In order to address the above concerns, all parties agree as follows:
It will be the responsibility of any represented employee to comply with the Santa Clara Police Department policy on drug and alcohol use, and pursuant thereto, to submit to a blood test as appropriate and chosen by the involved employee, when ordered by the Chief of Police or his/her designee. A breath test may be chosen only if alcohol use is suspected. All chemical testing shall be administered in a medically approved manner and as soon as practical after being ordered, but no later than six (6) hours after the incident, in the case of A, B, C, or D listed below, whether the employee is on-duty or off-duty at the time of the occurrence whenever any of the following occur:
A. Any incident in which a firearm is discharged by an employee, acting under color of authority, and death or serious injury is likely to occur. Furthermore, unless the death or serious injury of another occurs, this section will not apply to incidents in which a firearm is discharged accidentally, as a warning shot, or at a dangerous or suffering animal. For the purpose of this section, the use of an extended range impact weapon is not defined as a firearm discharge unless used as deadly force.
B. Any intentional use of any other deadly or dangerous weapon by an Officer, or an intentional act on the part of an Officer, which proximately causes the death or, or injury likely to produce death to another.
MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING — UNIT # 9A (January 1, 2024 – December 31, 2025))

C. Any traffic accident involving an employee operating a City-owned vehicle which results in death of another or any traffic accident involving an employee operating a City-owned vehicle which results in an injury likely to produce death to another and the employee appears to be the proximate cause of the accident.
D. Any incident where the Chief of Police or his/her designee has a reasonable belief based upon objective symptoms that an employee is in violation of the departmental policy on drug or alcohol use. The verbal order to submit to a chemical test(s) shall set forth the reasons for the test(s) and shall be followed at the time the test is administered by a written statement of the order.
E. Any reasonable incident where the Chief of Police or his/her designee develops reasonable suspicion that an employee has used illegal drugs. Reasonable suspicion will be defined as that quantity of proof or evidence that is more than a hunch, but less that probable cause and must be based on objective and articulable facts sufficient to lead a reasonable, prudent supervisor to suspect that an employee has used illegal drugs.
The following examples, alone or in combination, may constitute reasonable suspicion:
1) A pattern of documented abnormal or erratic behavior that indicates potential drug use;
2) Direct observation of drug or alcohol use by a reliable and credible source; 3) Corroborated information provided by a reliable and credible source that an employee has engaged in illegal drug use, the identity of which source shall be available to the employee and the association.
F. Employees being assigned to, or being rotated out of specific assignments shall be subject to drug testing at the beginning and at the end of such assignments. These assignments include the Specialized Crimes Action Team (SCAT), Santa Clara County Special Enforcement Team (SCCSET), the Administrative Narcotics Investigator, and the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) task force.
Demands for drug or alcohol analysis by supervisors which are determined to be malicious will not be tolerated and may subject the directing individual to disciplinary action.
"Designee" is defined as any sworn Santa Clara Police Officer with the rank of Assistant Chief, Captain, Lieutenant or Sergeant.
In the event any portion of the Chemical Testing policy herein described in this MOU is in conflict with any non-negotiated policy, procedure, manual or directive, including the Police Operations Manual, the provisions of this MOU shall prevail.
Nothing is this section shall prevent any represented employee from voluntarily requesting or providing a chemical sample if deemed appropriate by the employee.

All employees within the bargaining unit may voluntarily join the Police Management Association and pay dues, initiation fees, and general assessments, as well as payment of any other membership benefit program sponsored by the organization (hereinafter "payroll deductions") as determined by the Police Management Association. It shall be the responsibility of the Police Management Association to maintain a record of employees who have given their written consent to join and pay dues to the Police Management Association. The Police Management Association shall certify to the City the identity of such members and the amount of such payroll deductions to be deducted.
The City agrees to deduct the periodic payroll deductions from the paycheck of each employee who voluntarily executes a valid authorization form as certified by the Police Management Association, or pursuant to an authorization form tendered to the City by either the Police Management Association or the employee. All sums deducted by the City shall be remitted to the Police Management Association in an expedient manner and at the intervals requested by the Police Management Association (i.e., no more than seven (7) calendar days after the deduction), together with a list of names of each employee for whom a deduction was made.
If an employee member in the bargaining unit desires to revoke, cancel or change prior dues deduction authorization, the City shall direct the employee member to the Police Management Association. Any such dues deduction revocation, cancellation and/or change shall only be effective when submitted by the Police Management Association directly to the City and is subject to the terms and conditions as set forth in the original payroll deduction/authorization.

such claim, demand, lawsuit, or any other similar action arising from the operation of this Section.
26. PAY PERIODS
Allowances/payments or accrual rates that are an agreed upon amount per month or year but are paid for administrative purposes in incremental amounts each pay period, shall be the same total amount per year in years in which there are 27 instead of 26 pay periods. This clarification is not intended to and would not modify anyone's salary/pay rate.
27. LIGHT BODY ARMOR
All currently issued light body armor and vest carriers shall be replaced at City expense five (5) years from the date of issue.
New or replacement body armor shall be a minimum of a Threat Level #3A classification and shall be replaced by the City upon the expiration of the manufacturer's warranty for that unmodified dealer issued unit. Any represented employee may purchase a vest of his/her choice provided that it meets or exceeds the City's warranty and protection requirement; however, the employee must bear the difference in cost between the allocation provided and determined by the City and the actual cost of the vest of his/her choice. All body armor issued to represented employees shall be new and custom fitted to the individual officer. The City will also provide and replace vest carriers consistent with Departmental standards. Unit members may purchase vest carriers of their own choice so long as they meet the Department’s minimum standards; however, the employee must pay the difference in cost between the actual cost of the vest carrier and Departmental allocation for vest carriers.
Body armor and vest carriers damaged in the course and scope of employment shall be replaced immediately if determined to be unserviceable, or otherwise requiring replacement in the opinion of the Department. Body armor and vest carriers damaged by misuse or gross negligence shall be replaced subject to a pro rata formula based upon the manufacturer's warranty (e.g., if a vest is damaged by misuse after 3 years, the Department will pay 60% (3/5) of the Departmental allocation towards a replacement vest and the employee will be responsible for the remainder of the replacement cost).
All body armor and vest carriers, regardless of the purchaser, shall remain the property of the City.
The employee is required to wear this equipment whenever he/she is performing general law enforcement duties outside the Police Administration Building and in uniform.
