BACKGROUND
We are pleased to present the proposed operating budget for the City of Santa Fe Springs for the Fiscal Year (“FY”) 2024-25. The operating budget provides the foundation for our work plan and, most importantly, the commitments to our residents and businesses of this community. As a financial document, the budget presents our best assumptions for revenues and expenditures for the upcoming fiscal year. As a policy document, the budget presents our best assumptions for revenues and expenditures for the next year of services. As a policy document, it represents our unwavering commitment to providing resources towards improving the quality of life for our community.
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF June 4, 2024
Adopt Resolution No. 9915 approving and adopting the Fiscal Year 2024-25 Operating Budget
The economic growth is projected to slowdown in 2024 amid increased unemployment and lower inflation. Based on Congressional Budget Office’s projections, it is expected that the Federal Reserve will respond by reducing interest rates, starting in beginning of FY2024-25. The economic growth is anticipated to rebound in 2025 and then moderates in later years. Despite the slowdown in inflation, high consumer prices persist.
The City of Santa Fe Springs continues to advance despite economic challenges. Our financial position is the strongest it has been over the last several years, thanks to prudent decisions by the City Council. Although the economic uncertainty remains high due to record inflation, the City’s current financial position is stable. Revenues are expected to trend favorably and be within the budget estimates for the year. For the first time since the pandemic, we have included a more optimistic scenario. While hopeful about the revenue trends, staff will continue to monitor our revenues and any adverse fluctuations.
The spending plan for FY 2024-25 focuses on achieving long-term goals– such as, restoring staffing levels to deliver effective services; seeking alternative revenue sources for capital improvement projects; enhancing and modernizing Information Technology (IT) infrastructure and developing a sustainable plan for water utility. The FY 2024-25 proposed operating budget has dedicated resources to begin addressing each challenge in this upcoming fiscal year.
ANALYSIS
FY 2023-24 Year-End Projection
As the end of the fiscal year approaches, we see tentative signs of slowing down inflation and steady growth. General Fund revenues are projected to exceed initial estimates. The Sales Tax revenue is a critical component of our finances as it represents approximately 40% of all our City’s General Fund revenues. Sales Tax is projected to surpass last year’s record levels.
Additionally, this is the sixth full year of collecting the voter-approved Transaction & Use Tax (Measure Y) and is trending in a positive direction for the City. Measure Y has alleviated some of the financial burdens that have threatened our strong financial position.
Even during a global pandemic, Measure Y was a consistent and reliable stream of revenue for our City. The Sales Tax and Measure Y combined represent over 56% of our General Fund revenues.
As such, staff is anticipating ending this current fiscal year with a $7.8 million operating surplus. While this is welcoming news, there are still certain financial challenges we need to address moving forward. Under the direction of the City Council, we established and funded multiple set-aside funds (i.e., Capital Improvement Projects, Unfunded Liability, Economic Contingency, Equipment Replacement, Employee Benefits, Risk Management CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF June 4, 2024
Adopt Resolution No. 9915 approving and adopting the Fiscal Year 2024-25 Operating Budget
Renovation & Replacement and Unassigned Reserves) several years ago to begin addressing some of these challenges. For the past several fiscal years, the City has allocated operating surpluses to these funds and once this fiscal year’s financials are completed, staff will provide a recommendation on how to allocate the anticipated surplus to the City Council.
The City’s Water Utility fund is anticipated to have an operating deficit of approximately $1.0 million at year end. Over the last several years, there has been a continuing need for Capital Improvement Projects related to the source of water to aid in stabilizing the growing cost of water from outside sources. The cost to have an operating well in both of the City’s water zones is expected to exceed $10 million. In addition, the City is facing the aging infrastructure challenges. Investment in infrastructure improvements is expected to be over $150 million. Other options for water supply sources are also being considered, but all come with a capital investment requirement. We are expecting to utilize the Water’s Capital Improvement Program reserve to close the fiscal operating deficit gap in this year’s budget. Further discussion will be required to identify remedies to our ongoing structural deficit.
FY 2024-25 Proposed Budget Highlights
General Fund
The City Council conducted three budget study sessions on March 28, May 2, 2024, and May 25, 2024, to provide budget directions. Staff has updated the proposed budget accordingly. On May 25, 2024, City staff introduced the proposed FY 2024-25 budget to the City Council and the public. The General Fund is the primary operating fund of the City and accounts for all unrestricted revenue. The proposed General Fund budget is projected to have $2.1 million surplus; which includes $102.8 million in revenues and $100.7 million in expenditures includes fund transfer of $162K to the Renovation & Replacement reserve. Total revenues included $11.2 million derived from the City’s program revenue.
The budget includes funding for new equipment, a Class & Compensation Study, new position(s) & position(s) adjustments, newly negotiated labor agreements, additional police contract costs, IT infrastructure improvements, and inflation-driven operational costs.
The following table summarizes the proposed sources and uses for FY 2024-25:

Adopt Resolution No. 9915 approving and adopting the Fiscal Year 2024-25 Operating Budget
Revenues/Sources (Attachments A and B)
During FY 2024-25, General Fund revenues (not including the Water Utility Fund) are expected to total $102.8 million, which includes a transfer of $1.1 million of one-time use funding from the Vehicle & Equipment Fund. Key increases in revenue are expected from sales tax (3.8%) and the transaction and use tax (12.6%), which is an approximately $3.4 million increase. Additionally, increases are also anticipated in property tax, Utility User’s Tax, Vehicle in Lieu taxes, program revenues, and use of other funds.
Sales Tax Revenue
o The State of California’s Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA) disburses monies to counties and cities on a quarterly basis with advances paid monthly. Quarterly adjustments are made to reflect the actual funds collected. The Sales Tax is charged by the retailers who sell tangible property in the state. The tax is measured by gross receipts from retail sales at a rate of 10.5%. Effective April 1, 2019 the distribution of the tax of 10.5% is as follows: 8.5% to other governmental agencies and 2.0% to the City of Santa Fe Springs – 1% for Bradley-Burns and 1% for the Transaction & Use Tax (Measure Y).
o Historically, the City has benefitted greatly from the large business community and the sales tax revenue generated. During the Great Recession, however, the City’s revenues were disproportionately impacted by the downturn in the economy. Since then, modest gains have generally Actual Actual Adopted Adopted

provided for a slow but steady rise. In FY 2014-15, sales tax revenue reached the pre-recession high of $26.4 million, followed by two years of declines to $25.1 million in FY 2016-17 and followed by consistent growth into FY 2018-19 through 2021-22. COVID-19 pandemic-related “shelter-inplace directive issued in March 2020 significantly impacted certain businesses and pushed consumers to buy online. Sales tax received in FY 2022-23 ($39.9 million) was the highest ever recorded and it is anticipated the same for FY 2023-24. For FY 2024-25, the revenue estimate is essentially flat with a reduction to $39.4 million.
Transactions & Use tax (Measure Y)
o In November 2018, the City of Santa Fe Springs voters approved a 1% transactions and use tax. The tax became effective April 1, 2019 with the first payment to the City beginning in June 2019. Transaction and use tax is essentially the same as the sales tax except that it is only subject to transactions delivered to customers within the City (i.e. point-of-destination) whereas sales tax applies to transactions originating within the City (i.e. point-of-sale).
o According to HdL, transactions and use tax generated approximately 44.1% of the Bradley Burns amount during the first quarter, led by a solid performance from general consumer goods. Transactions and use tax continued to trend favorably for the City. Staff anticipates an increase of $2.0 million or 12.6% over the prior year’s estimate, at $17.6 million. 21 20 21 22

Utility Users’ Tax
o The Utility Users’ Tax (UUT) is imposed on every individual or entity using a utility within the City. Utilities subject to the tax include electricity, gas, and telephone (including cellular telephones). Individuals and entities using these utility services pay a tax rate of 5.0% on all charges. o According to the Avenu Insights & Analytics (Avenu) forecast, the average U.S. retail price of electricity is projected to increase between 1.96% to
3.58% for residential and commercial and a slight decrease of .7% in the industrial sector. The market of supply and demand of natural gas continue to trend upward through a combination of low storage levels and increased demand during the winter season. Meanwhile, telecommunication revenues are forecasted to reflect a continued decrease due to competition among existing and new providers and the commoditization of products and services. Businesses are shifting to the utilization of streaming services as wired line usage is fast becoming obsolete. Based on various factors, UUT is estimated to have an increase of $1.0 million over the prior year’s estimate, at $8 million.
Program Revenue
o Additionally, program revenues are anticipated to increase by approximately $2.5 million or 29.6% over the prior year (FY 24-25 $11.2 million vs. FY 2023-24 $8.6 million). The primary increase is due to higher anticipation of licenses & permits and service charges. Outdoor recreation program registrations anticipated an increase due to additional programs and program expansion.
Building fees offset related expenditures for third-party plan checks.
An increase in building fees and activities is anticipated. Development Services increases are related to surges in development activity.
Licenses & Permits revenue increase reflects proactive enforcement and an increase in building inspection activity.
Use of other Funding Sources
o Increase in the use of other sources and other restrictions is anticipated to increase by approximately $2.1 million (FY 24-25 $6.8 million vs. FY 2023- 24 $4.7 million). The City received $2.4 million of Measure W funding annually and anticipating to utilize it for eligible projects.
Expenditures (Attachments A and C)
General Fund expenditures and operating fund transfers are expected to total approximately $100.5 million in FY 2024-25, or about $9.1 million greater than the FY 2023-24 Adopted Budget of $91.5 million. The total proposed budget expenditures and CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF June 4, 2024
Adopt Resolution No. 9915 approving and adopting the Fiscal Year 2024-25 Operating Budget
uses, including a one-time transfer of $162,500 to the Renovation & Replacement reserve. The increase of 9.9% is due to a variety of factors including: 3% - 4% cost of living adjustment (COLA) as part of the 3-year labor agreements, general rise in labor related costs – CalPERS contributions, step increases, health care increases, and minimum wage increases – inflation driven increases in maintenance and operations as well as other recommended operating needs previously mentioned at the beginning of this report.
Additionally, the proposed budget also includes funding for several organizational needs.
These include:
Funding for new and replacement of various City equipment/vehicles; Funding to implement Class & Compensation Study;
Funding for additional police contract costs;
Funding for IT infrastructure improvements and new software; Funding for replacements of furniture in public facilities, refurbishments of public facilities, internal process improvements, and public safety replacements; The proposed personnel and adjustments include:

Water Utility Fund
The proposed budget for FY 2024-25 is projected to have $2.9 million budget deficit, primarily due to increase in expenditures driven by inflation along with a slightly lower revenue estimate. Total revenues are expected to decrease by $557,000 or -3.3%, while expenditures are expected to increase by approximately $2.5 million or 14.8%. The proposed budget includes a recommendation to utilize the Water Fund reserve to balance the FY 2024-25 budget. Further discussion will be necessary to determine how to be fiscal responsible with the Water Utility Fund.

DISCUSSION
Future Outlook
As discussed on previous occasions, staff continues to monitor ongoing economic and organizational issues as we develop the FY 2024-25 budget. These include:
Current Geopolitical Climate – The invasion of Ukraine by Russia presents an undeniable level of uncertainty in the economy. As with any conflict, there are lasting and spillover effects on the national and local economy that can linger for years to come.
CalPERS’ Unfunded Liability – The growth in the City’s Unfunded Liability is also a significant challenge. There are a number of reasons for the substantial increase in the unfunded liability, including a smaller City workforce relative to the number CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF June 4, 2024
Adopt Resolution No. 9915 approving and adopting the Fiscal Year 2024-25 Operating Budget
of retirees, CalPERS investment losses, a lower investment discount rate, a shorter amortization period, changes in mortality assumptions, and changing the unfunded liability payment from a percentage of payroll to a fixed amount each year. If investment performance does not meet expectations, the discount rate is lowered further, or other assumption changes are made, these rates could escalate even higher. City staff have established a Pension Trust Fund and will be developing a plan to mitigate future impacts on the City’s General Fund.
Infrastructure Funding – While there are funds and accounts that have been established by the City Council, the City will be challenged to provide an increased level of funding to address significant deferred maintenance needs moving forward.
Rising inflation – Inflation can also jeopardize the City’s favorable financial position as it is directly tied to the rising cost of acquiring items and services necessary to deliver local programs and services. Inflation rate decreased to 3.4% in April 2024 from 4.9% in April 2023. While this change is somewhat positive, it was higher than the 2.0% that was targeted. As a result of the consumer price index rising higher than initially anticipated, recent disinflation progress has stalled, and plans to reduce interest rates will possibly be delayed by the Federal Reserve.
FY 2024-2025 Operating Budget
The FY 2024-25 operating budget too into account a consideration of a variety of strategic assumptions that will aide in the City’s long-term financial viability. For the General Funds, it is anticipated that the operational changes implemented over the last several years will provide stability in the long term. Staff will continue to work with the City Council to continue the pursuit of internal operating efficiencies and strategies to minimize costs and impacts to City services while exploring new and innovative revenue ideas.
SUMMARY/NEXT STEPS
Once adopted, the FY 2024-25 budget will be incorporated into the system for the department to utilize by July 1, 2024. Staff will continue to monitor department usage throughout the year and provide quarterly updates.

Honorable Mayor and City Council:
I am pleased to present the proposed Fiscal Year (FY) 2024-25 operating budget for Santa Fe Springs. This budget serves as both a financial plan and a policy guide, reflecting our commitment to enhancing the quality of life for our residents and businesses. As a financial document, the budget presents our best assumptions for revenues and expenditures for the next year of service. As a policy document, it presents our City’s unwavering commitment to providing resources towards improving the quality of life for our community.
Despite economic uncertainty and persistent inflation, our financial position remains strong due to prudent fiscal management. Revenues are projected to align with our budget estimates, supported by favorable trends in key areas. Based on projections from the Congressional Budget Office, it is anticipated that the Federal Reserve will reduce interest rates at the beginning of FY 2024-25. Economic growth is anticipated to rebound in 2025 and then moderate in later years. Our city continues to advance, maintaining stability through careful financial planning.
The spending plan for this upcoming fiscal year continues a shift of our organization’s focus to begin to accomplish our long-term goals – such as restoring staffing levels to where they need to be in order to deliver effective and efficient services to our community; seeking alternative sources of revenue to establish a reliable and consistent funding source for our capital improvement projects; enhancing and modernizing our Information Technology infrastructure for our community and for our employees and lastly, seeking alternative solution for our Water Utility structural deficit. These are the challenges that we, as an organization, are facing. As such, we will remain steadfast and proactive in addressing them. The FY 2024-25 proposed operating budget has dedicated resources to begin addressing each challenge in this upcoming fiscal year. 2A
FY 2023-24 Year-End Projection
As we close FY 2023-24, we anticipate a $7.8 million operating surplus, bolstered by strong sales tax revenues, which constitute about 40% of our General Fund income. The voter-approved Measure Y has also provided a reliable revenue stream, now representing over 56% of General Fund revenues alongside sales tax.
While this is welcoming news, there are still certain financial challenges we need to address moving forward. Under the direction of the City Council, we established and funded multiple set-aside funds (i.e., Capital Improvement Projects, Unfunded Liability, Economic Contingency, Equipment Replacement, Employee Benefits, Risk Management, Renovation & Replacement, and Unassigned Reserves) several years ago to begin addressing some of these challenges. For the past several fiscal years, the City has allocated operating surpluses to these funds and once this fiscal year’s financials are completed, staff will provide a recommendation on how to allocate the anticipated surplus to the City Council.
The City’s Water Utility fund is anticipated to have an operating deficit of approximately $1.0 million at year end. Over the last several years, there has been a continuing need for Capital Improvement Projects related to the source of water to aid in stabilizing the growing cost of water from outside sources. The cost to have an operating well in both of the City’s water zones is expected to exceed $10 million. In addition, the City is facing the aging infrastructure challenges. Investment in infrastructure improvements is expected to be over $150 million. Other options for water supply sources are also being considered, but all come with a capital investment requirement. We are expecting to utilize the Water’s Capital Improvement Program reserve to close the fiscal operating deficit gap in this year’s budget. Further discussion will be required to identify remedies to our ongoing structural deficit.
General Fund
The City Council conducted three budget study sessions on March 28, May 2, 2024, and May 25, 2024, to provide budget directions. Staff has updated the proposed budget accordingly. On May 25, 2024, City staff introduced the proposed FY 2024-25 budget to the City Council and the public. The General Fund is the primary operating fund of the City and accounts for all unrestricted revenue. The proposed General Fund budget is projected to have a $2.1 million surplus, which includes $102.8 million in revenues and $100.7 million in expenditures including a fund transfer of $162K to the Renovation & Replacement reserve. Total revenues included $11.2 million derived from the City’s program revenue.
The budget includes funding for new equipment, a Class & Compensation Study, new position(s) & position(s) adjustments, newly negotiated labor agreements, additional police contract costs, IT infrastructure improvements, and inflation-driven operational costs.

The following table summarizes the proposed sources and uses for FY 2024-25:
This budget prioritizes restoring staffing levels, enhancing information technology infrastructure, and securing alternative revenue sources for capital projects. Notable allocations include funding for new equipment, a Class & Compensation Study, new and adjusted positions, labor agreements, additional police contract costs, and inflation-driven operational expenses.
Water Utility Fund
The proposed budget for FY 2024-25 is projected to have $2.9 million budget deficit, primarily due to increase in expenditures driven by inflation along with a slightly lower revenue estimate. Total revenues are expected to decrease by $557,000 or -3.3%, while expenditures are expected to increase by approximately $2.5 million or 14.8%. The proposed budget includes a recommendation to utilize the Water Fund reserve to balance the FY 2024-25 budget. Further discussion will be necessary to determine how to be fiscal responsible with the Water Utility Fund.
The following table summarizes the proposed sources and uses for the FY 2024-25 Water Utility budget:

Mission Statement
The Department of Police Services is dedicated to public safety and working together for a safe community.
Our mission is to provide high quality public safety and law enforcement services through unique communitypolice partnerships.
Department Description
The Department of Police Service is responsible for the management of all law enforcement services in the City. It is comprised of City Administrative Personnel, Public Safety Officers, and Code Enforcement Inspectors, who work alongside Whittier Police Department sworn personnel on developing effective solutions to address community defined law enforcement concerns and providing quality service. Through collaborative partnerships, the Department provides a variety of supplemental programs and services to enhance the safety and wellbeing of the community.
The Department is led by the Director of Police Services and Assistant Director of Police Services who are responsible for planning and directing and coordinating public safety and law enforcement activities and overseeing the daily operations. Additionally, (2) full-time Administrative Assistants and (1) hourly Administrative Clerk provide customer service to patrons and support all department personnel.
Administrative personnel also manage the departments False Alarm Program, DUI Restitution, Animal Control Program, and process regulatory permits such as Secondhand Dealer permits, mobile food truck, sidewalk vending, solicitors, yard sale, special events permits and rebate programs.
Public Safety Officers (PSO’s) provide citywide support and perform a variety of public safety and law enforcement functions and serve as a liaison between law enforcement and the community. Currently, the PSO program deploys (1) PSO Supervisor, (3) Lead PSOs, and (9) part-time PSO’s. PSO’s work seven days a week to enhance the quality of life and increase the safety and well-being of citizens who live, work and visit the City. Their duties include but are not limited to responding to non-emergent/non-hazardous calls for service, preparing crime reports, traffic collision reports, providing security at City permits, securing parks, coordinating the removal of illegally dumped items and graffiti, assisting at City special events, community engagement/programs and enforcing parking/municipal code violations.

The Division works closely with all City departments to ensure community needs are met. Inspectors are responsible for enforcing municipal code violations related to commercial and residential property maintenance standards, illegal business operations, unpermitted land use and illegal construction.

Mission Statement
It is the pledge of the Santa Fe Springs Department of Fire-Rescue to protect and reduce loss of lives, damage to property, and the environment due to fire, hazardous materials, natural disasters, and other emergencies; to give comfort to both the residential and business citizens of Santa Fe Springs as well as all who visit and pass through on a daily basis; to make Santa Fe Springs a safe place to live, work, and play; to offer employees a physically and mentally safe place to work, the ability to promote and progress within the organization, the opportunity to be free-thinking and innovative; and to fulfill our obligation to the community by being fiscally prudent, visionary, and farsighted.
Department Description
The Fire Department is divided into four divisions: Fire Operations (Suppression, Emergency Medical Services, Emergency Preparedness, and Training), Fire Administration, Fire Prevention, and Environmental Protection Services.
The Fire Operations Division is staffed by 45 personnel assigned to three shifts and fills Fire Battalion Chiefs, Fire Captains, Fire Engineers, Firefighter/Paramedics, Paramedic Trainees, and Reserve Firefighters (known as Auxiliaries). These personnel work a 56-hour work week, providing fast and efficient emergency response to fires, hazardous conditions, rescues, illnesses, and any other conditions where the health, safety, and welfare of the public is in jeopardy out of the four strategically located fire stations by way of three fire engines, one fire (ladder) truck, a paramedic squad, and a battalion chief vehicle.
This personnel responds to nearly 4,000 calls for service each year and dispatch services are provided by Downey Fire Communications Center.
The Fire Administration Division consists of the Fire Chief and his Administrative Staff. The Fire Chief, under the direction of the City Manager and the City Council, is responsible for long-range planning, budgeting, personnel development, and for setting and meeting specific goals and objectives related to maintaining and improving levels of service to the community, through constantly seeking out new programs and innovations to maintain the highest level of service at the most reasonable cost.
The Fire Prevention Division is tasked with protecting the community through education and prevention efforts to find and eliminate hazards before they become an emergency, and are divided into two major programs which focus on Fire Safety and Environmental Safety. The Fire Safety Programs mitigate hazards associated with life or property loss, which include the responsibility for investigations and community relations, as well as recovering costs for plan checks, inspection services, and annual permits required by the California Fire Code or other regulations and investigations.
The Environmental Protection Services Division is designed to protect the public and worker safety, as well as the environment. The division’s primary objective is to prevent harmful exposures to the public and the environment from hazardous substances through education and enforcement, to maintain the economic viability of the regulated community, as well as oversee the cleanup of contaminated properties. This Environmental Protection Services Division focuses on the State designated Certified Unified Program Agency (CUPA), which is responsible for hazardous waste, underground storage tanks, aboveground storage tanks, industrial wastewater, hazardous materials, community right-toknow, and accidental release prevention programs. 56 FIRE & RESCUE

Mission Statement
We shall be part of the “City Team” to efficiently develop, construct, and maintain the City’s infrastructure, parks, and facilities in a safe and environmentally sensitive manner for the enhancement of the residential and business communities. We shall be responsive to the changing needs of our City and create an atmosphere that allows all employees to be innovative, to have pride in their work, professional growth, high self-esteem, and to be committed to excellence.
Department Description
The Public Works department is comprised of four major divisions. The Traffic Commission, Engineering, Maintenance, and the Water Utility. (Water Utility is covered in its own section of the budget document) The Traffic Commission is an advisory committee made up of residents appointed by the City Council. The Traffic Commission meets on a monthly basis to discuss traffic related matters within the City, such as traffic accidents, traffic related capital projects, business-requested parking prohibitions, and speeding concerns.
Engineering services include Administration, NPDES, Building Regulations, and Traffic Engineering.
Administration establishes goals, policies and procedures, and provides long range public works planning.
The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) is a program that mitigates pollutant discharge to bodies of water from the storm drain system. The Public Works department ensures strict guidelines and regulations associated with the NPDES Permit are followed. Building Regulation ensures that all private improvements within the City are constructed in accordance with applicable local, county and state building codes. Traffic Engineering oversees traffic control facilities within the City including the design of traffic signals, street lights, and other warning devices to provide efficient and safe operation of the City’s traffic control system.
Public Works Maintenance is responsible for the upkeep and operational efficiency of various community assets and services. This includes maintaining vehicles and equipment, removing graffiti, and ensuring the streets, City owned trees, and landscaping are well maintained. The division also manages the maintenance and installation of road signs and street striping to ensure safety of public roads. Additionally, the division oversees the maintenance of traffic signals, streetlights, parks, public buildings and grounds, and sports fields.

The current CIP project list includes community services facilities, public safety facilities, streets and technology projects.
The CIP Subcommittee uses the following criteria in making their selections:
• Projects that eliminate, mitigate and manage risks and contribute to the safety and welfare of the public; • Projects that protect and maintain City assets, facilities and infrastructure; and • Projects that contribute to overall quality of life for residents and businesses • The CIP projects are funded by:
• The General Fund in the targeted amount of $2.8 million annually. The funding derives from the City Council designated allocation of 1.5% of the City's 5% Utility Users’ Tax; • Various transportation funds;
• The City's Water Capital Fund; and
• Bond proceeds from tax allocation bonds issued by the former Community Development Commission.
The State Department of Finance approved an Agreement giving the City Council authority to spend bond proceeds on capital projects effective July 1, 2014. • The CIP Subcommittee provides direction to staff on project development and priorities. The City Council approves all individual project budgets and capital expenditures. 125

SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS

SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS
Special Revenue funds are monies that can only be used for certain specific purposes as defined by law or administrative action. Allocation of funds will have a series of guidelines the recipient (the City) must follow. Most Special Revenue funds are either grants from county, state and federal governments designed for a variety of purposes from public safety to transportation funds, or to account for funds expended under specific purposes such as the Waste Management fund.
The funding from these funds help offset eligible expenditures incurred within the General Fund activities. The City has a total of eleven Special Revenue funds, but not all have budgeted expenses for FY 2024-25.
All Special Revenue funds are grouped as a larger component of the larger Total City Budget. As a whole, the Special Revenue funds represent a total of $4.5 million of the Citywide operating budget. More than half of the special revenue budget is allocated to the Waste Management activities (57%), County Transit funds (17%), and Art in Public Places fund (15%), which helps offset the expenditures associated with running the Public Art & Art Education program.

Temporary appointments must be made from an appropriate eligibility list, if one exists. The appointment will be made on the recommendation of the Department Head with the approval of the City Manager.
Temporary appointees are not in the same status as regular employees and only attain such after receiving a regular appointment. (PPPM 5-1; PPPM 5-4.1) Section 4. Veteran’s Preference

All acts of violence or force, either threatened or actual, are prohibited and are met with disciplinary action, up to and including termination and criminal prosecution. (See Appendix for Workplace Safety/Security Policy revised as of 02-16-06) (PPPM 5-13.2; 7-2; 8-9.1; 8-

Section 9. Additional Employment
- 31 -
Employees must report outside employment to their Department Head prior to the start of employment utilizing the City’s “Additional Employment” form.

Driver’s License will be checked once a year for all other employees by the Human Resources Office. If a position requires a Commercial driver’s license, the employee is responsible for obtaining the license. If an employee in another classification is requested by the City to obtain a commercial license, the City will reimburse the employee for the cost of the license.
Employees driving City vehicles without a valid California Driver’s License are subject to serious disciplinary action. If an employee’s driver’s license status changes in any way, the employee must immediately advise their supervisor and the Human Resources Office. - 32 -
(PPPM 8-6.3a)
Section 15. Use of Personal Vehicles
Employees shall be reimbursed for mileage while driving in personal automobiles on City business at the rate approved by the City Council. This is for employees who use their own cars on official City business and who have a current “Automobile Insurance Affidavit” on file in Human Resources.

Each employee must identify whether they carry sufficient liability insurance of at least the following:
$50,000 injury per person
$100,000 bodily injury each occupant
$25,000 property damage each occupant or
$100,000 combined single limits
Employees who do not carry automobile insurance or do not have sufficient coverage are not permitted to drive their personal vehicles for City business.
City employees are prohibited from working on personal vehicles on City premises and using City equipment and supplies. Said work can only be done if it is approved in advance by the Director of Public Works (or his designee). (PPPM 2-10, 8-6.4 and 8-6.5) Section 16. Bids for City Jobs
Employees may submit bids for City jobs. A conflict of interest would not exist so long as the employee was not in a position to determine who would be awarded the contract. (PPPM 7-5.1)
Section 17. Political Activities of Employees
No City employee will solicit, either directly or indirectly, political contributions, favors, etc. from other City employees on behalf of any political candidate. No City employee will use their position in the City to benefit any political candidate. No City employee will engage in political activities during working hours or while in uniform at any time. City employees are permitted to exercise their political rights like any other citizen during their off-duty hours when out of uniform. (PPPM 7-7)
Article XI.
Layoff and Reductions in Force
Section 1. Layoff and Reductions in Force
Whenever it becomes necessary for one or more employees to be laid off because of lack of work or financial reasons, all non-regular employees in the affected classification shall - 33 -
be laid off before any regular employees and in the following order: emergency, provisional and temporary. If additional reductions are necessary, regular employees in the affected classifications shall be laid off in reverse order of their seniority. If the person in one of the affected classifications has seniority over someone in a lower classification, the person with seniority may accept a voluntary demotion to a lower classification if the employee is qualified for the classification. This process may continue until the person in the lowest classification with the least seniority is laid off. All employees laid off shall be given written notice of such layoff at least 10 working days prior to the effective date of the layoff. (PPPM 5-12.1)
Section 2. Seniority and Bumping Rights
Full-time seniority shall be defined as regular full-time City service within the affected vertically related classifications. Regular service time shall include probationary time in the affected classification if regular status has been acquired. Hourly/part-time hours accumulated in the City do not have consideration in full-time seniority calculations. “Bumping” into a lower related classification shall occur on the basis of total seniority attained within a series of vertically related classifications. Vertically related classifications carry cumulative seniority downward and not upward. For example, an employee who has five years of seniority as an Administrative Clerk II and five years seniority as an Administrative Clerk I (10 years total) is in a senior position to an Administrative Clerk I who has nine years of seniority in that classification. An Administrative Clerk I with 11 years of seniority in that classification is in a senior position to the Administrative Clerk II cited in the example above. Length of qualifying service, not rank, is the determining factor when calculating seniority.
Seniority calculations shall not include time on unpaid leave, time on inactive service or time during breaks in City service. (PPPM 5-12.2)
Section 3. Layoffs – Call-backs
The names of regular and probationary employees laid off shall be placed on a reemployment list for the class of positions involved in the layoff. Persons on the list shall retain eligibility for reappointment for a period of three years from the date the name was first placed on the list. Recall shall be by inverse order, i.e., the most recent person laid off shall be first rehired. Persons reinstated shall return to the same position and step previously held. Persons who are on a reemployment list and have committed an offense while on layoff which would have been cause for termination, will not be reinstated. Any person who is refused reinstatement because of the commission of such an offense may appeal such action to the City Manager and to the Personnel Advisory Board. (PPPM 5-
12.3)
Section 4. Lay-off Procedures
The parties agree to discuss during the term of this MOU. - 34 -
Article XII.
Appeal and Grievance Rights and Procedures
Section 1. Appeal Process
An employee who has been subject to disciplinary action, excluding written or oral counseling, warnings or reprimand shall be entitled to appeal such action to the City Manager and to the Personnel Advisory Board in accordance with the proper procedures.
Res. #5969, XI.6; PPPM 11-3)
Section 2. Grievance Procedure
A grievance is defined as a claim of violation, misinterpretation or misapplication of a specific written City or Department rule or regulation or specific provision of a Memorandum of Understanding. A grievance procedure has been established to provide adequate opportunities for employees to bring forth their concerns relating to any claim of unfair or improper aspect of their employment situation and to seek correction.

The grievance shall be signed by the employee and submitted to the immediate supervisor within 10 calendar days of the resolution effort.
The Department Head shall make an investigation of the facts and issues. Within 10 calendar days of receipt of the grievance statement, the Department Head shall reply in writing stating the department’s views on the issue involved.
If the employee wishes to discuss the grievance further, the employee shall submit a written request for a meeting with the City Manager within 10 working days of the receipt of the Department Head’s reply.
The requested meeting will be held by the City Manager at the earliest date possible at which the employee, the Department Head, and any other persons invited by the City Manager, the employee, or the Department Head may be present.

However, in cases which involve alleged violations of the Personnel Resolution or Personnel Rules, the employee may, within 10 calendar days, request that the issue be submitted to the Personnel Advisory Board if the employee does not accept the decision of the City Manager.
Upon receipt of the request from the employee, the Personnel Advisory Board shall conduct hearing(s) as it deems necessary to determine the pertinent facts related to the alleged violation of Personnel Resolution No. 5969, Personnel Policies and Procedures or personnel rules. The employee(s) and management representative(s) shall have the right to appear before the Board and to have counsel present. If either party appears before the Board, both shall be present. Within 10 calendar days of the conclusion of the Board’s - 35 -
hearing(s), it shall certify its findings and submit them to the City Manager for consideration. Any action thereafter taken by the City Manager affirming or modifying his earlier decision shall be final. (Res. #5969, XII.2; PPPM 11-1, 11-2) Article XIII.

Applicability of Memorandum of Understanding It is the intent of the parties hereto that the provisions of this MOU shall supersede all prior agreements in prior Memoranda of Understanding or other understandings, oral or written, express or implied, between the parties.

Employee Requested
Department Initiated
- 6 -
Employee Requested Transfers
A. Open Position Transfer:
When a station and shift assignment has been vacated by annual bids, promotion, termination, retirement or severance of employment, it may be filled through the open position transfer process.
Notice of vacancies shall be posted on Fire Department bulletin boards and department e-mail.
Any employee desiring to fill a vacant position must submit a written request to the Administrative Battalion Chief within seven (7) calendar days of posting of the vacancy.
If more than one employee requests to be transferred to an open position, consecutive seniority in current rank shall be the determining factor. The transfer request will be approved or denied, in writing, within fourteen (14) calendar days of posting of the vacancy.
An employee desiring a transfer to a vacant position that has been vacated for an extended period of time will submit their request to the Administrative Battalion Chief and follow the above procedures in filling the vacancy. If a position becomes available for an unknown extended period of time, an employee may temporarily request to transfer to the open position. When the employee creating the vacancy returns to his original assignment, the employee that moved to the temporary vacancy will return to any open available position. This employee will not have the option of returning to his original assignment prior to the temporary transfer if it has already been filled by another employee. The Fire Chief shall have the prerogative to either grant or deny a request for transfer.
B. Mutual Agreement Transfers:
Employees of equal rank may request to switch or exchange their current assignments between themselves.
Requests for transfers shall be submitted, in writing, through chain of command to the Administrative Battalion Chief.

All classifications shall have the option of bidding for transfer to be effective in January of each year. The Captains will bid first followed by Engineers and then Firefighters. The most senior member of that rank will have first bid. The Fire Chief shall have the prerogative to approve or deny such requests. The approval or denial of a request for transfer shall not be subject to the grievance or appeal process.
- 7 -

Truck 811 is not an open selection for the Firefighter/Paramedic position.
Department-Initiated Transfers: The Department reserves the right to initiate transfer of personnel to meet the needs of the organization, taking into consideration concerns of employees.

(Res. #5969, VII.1 and .2; PPPM 5-9.1) Section 2. Promotional Appointments
If a Temporary Firefighter, Firefighter, Firefighter/Paramedic, or Fire Engineer is promoted to a higher classification as a result of another employee’s separation from employment (resignation, termination, or retirement), and the promoted employee has served in a continuous temporary or conditional appointment, then upon promotion to the vacant position the employee will receive all rights and privileges of rank beginning at the date of their temporary appointment including time granted toward the one year probationary period. When an employee is promoted, the employee shall be entitled to the step in the new range which provides at least a 65 ½% increase. (04-05 MOU, 2-2.1d)
The individual standing first on any given closed promotional list should generally be appointed by the Fire Chief. The Fire Chief may recommend and appoint any candidate on the list irrespective of ranking subject to the approval by the City Manager. ( PPPM 5.1) Fire Department promotional eligibility lists will be tiered to a maximum of five points per tier, i.e., 90 – 95, 95 – 100, etc. It is within the Fire Chief’s discretion to rank the list within tiers prior to any appointments being made from the eligibility list. (PPPM 4-6.3) Section 3.

Acting pay will not apply where it would cause an individual to be paid a greater rate than if the employee were promoted to the higher classification. For example, a Firefighter/Paramedic with three 5 ½ % steps of proficiency pay would not be eligible for acting pay when acting as an Engineer as the employee’s pay level would then surpass that of an Engineer. A Firefighter/Paramedic when serving in the capacity of acting Captain is eligible to receive acting pay of one full step provided the employee has completed the required number of shifts (10) worked in the higher classification and has completed the Acting Captain certification program required by the Fire Chief.

Working Conditions
Section 1. Injury and Illness Prevention Program
It is both policy and practice of the City of Santa Fe Springs to provide safe and healthful working conditions for all employees. Safety and health considerations must be a part of every operation. It is every employee’s responsibility at all levels. It is the intent of the City to comply with all laws.
To do this, one must constantly be aware of conditions in all work areas that can create injuries. No employee is required to work at a job he/she knows is not safe or healthful. The detection of hazards by City employees and, in turn, controlling them, is a condition of employment. Supervisors must be informed immediately of any situation beyond the employee’s ability or authority to correct.
The personal health and safety of each City employee is of primary importance. Prevention of occupational injuries and illnesses is of such consequences that it will be given precedence over operating productivity, whenever necessary. To the greatest degree possible, management will provide all mechanical and physical safeguards necessary for personal safety and health, in keeping with the highest standards.
Management will maintain a health and safety program conforming to the best practices of municipalities. To be successful, such a program must embody proper attitudes toward injury and illness prevention on the part of supervisors and employees. It also requires cooperation in all safety and health matters not only between supervisor and employee, but also between each employee and his/her co-workers. Only through such a cooperative effort can a safety program in the best interest of all be established and preserved.
The City’s objective is a health and safety program that will reduce the number of injuries and illnesses to an absolute minimum. The health and safety program will include:
Providing mechanical and physical safeguards to the maximum extent possible. Conducting health and safety inspections to find, eliminate or control safety and health hazards as well as unsafe working conditions and practices, and to comply fully with the health and safety standards for every job.
Training all employees in good health and safety practices. Providing necessary personal protective equipment and instructions for use and care. Developing and enforcing health and safety rules, and requiring that employees cooperate with these rules as a condition of employment.
Promptly and thoroughly investigating every accident to find out what caused it and correcting the problem so it won’t happen again.
The City recognizes that the responsibilities for health and safety are shared:
- 40 -
The employer accepts responsibility for leadership of the health and safety program, for its effectiveness and improvement, and for providing the safeguards required to ensure safe conditions.
Supervisors are responsible for ensuring that employees are trained in, and follow safe work practices, and that all operations are performed with the utmost regard for the health and safety of all personnel.
Employees are responsible for complying with all rules and regulations and for using safe work practices while performing their duties. Employees also have the responsibility of informing their supervisor of hazards and are encouraged to make recommendations for increasing workplace safety. (PPPM 8-1.2)
Section 2. Training
Full-time equivalent (FTE) funds received from Rio Hondo Community College or Joint Apprentice Committee (JAC) funds shall be placed into a Fire Department training account. Any unused training funds from these two sources shall be rolled over to the following year’s training budget. (04-05 MOU)
Article XII.
Layoff and Reductions in Force
Section 1. Layoff and Reductions in Force
Whenever it becomes necessary for one or more employees to be laid off because of lack of work or financial reasons, all non-regular employees in the affected classification shall be laid off before any regular employees and in the following order: emergency, provisional, and temporary. If additional reductions are necessary, regular employees in the affected classifications shall be laid off in reverse order of their seniority. If the person in one of the affected classifications has seniority over someone in a lower classification, the person with seniority may accept a voluntary demotion to a lower classification, if the employee is qualified for the classification. This process may continue until the person in the lowest classification with the least seniority will then be laid off. All employees laid off shall be given written notice of such layoff at least 10 working days prior to the effective date of the layoff. The City may exercise layoff and reductions in force rights unilaterally subject to the meet and confer process on the impact of such rights. (PPPM 5-12.1 and 5-12.2) Section 2. Seniority and Bumping Rights
Full-time seniority shall be defined as regular full-time City service within the affected vertically related classifications, e.g., Firefighter, Engineer, Fire Captain, and Battalion Chief. Regular service time shall include probationary time in the affected classification if regular status has been acquired.
Part-time hours accumulated in the City do not have consideration in full-time seniority calculations.
An employee “bumping” into a lower related classification shall occur on the basis of total seniority attained within a series of vertically related classifications. Vertically related classifications carry - 41 -
cumulative seniority downward and not upward. For example, an employee who has five years of seniority as a Captain, five years seniority as an Engineer and five years as a Firefighter (15 years in total) is in a senior position to an Engineer who has five years as a Firefighter and five years as an Engineer (10 years in total). An Engineer that has five years as a Firefighter and fifteen years as an Engineer (20 years in total), is in a senior position to the 15-Year Captain cited in the example above.
Length of qualifying service, not rank, is the determining factor when calculating seniority.
Seniority calculations shall not include time on unpaid leave, time on inactive service, or time during breaks in City service. (PPPM 5-12.2)
Section 3. Layoffs – Call-backs
The names of regular and probationary employees laid off shall be placed on a reemployment list for the class of positions involved in the layoff. Persons on the list shall retain eligibility for reappointment for a period of three years from the date the name was first placed on the list. Recall shall be by inverse order, i.e., the most recent person laid off shall be first rehired. Persons reinstated shall return to the same position & step previously held. Persons who are on a reemployment list & have committed an offense while on layoff which would have been cause for termination will not be reinstated. Any person who is refused reinstatement because of the commission of such an offense may appeal such action to the City Manager and to the Personnel Advisory Board. (PPPM 5-12.3) Article XIII.
Appeal and Grievance Rights and Procedures
Section 1. Appeal Process
Any safety employee who has been subject to disciplinary action, excluding written or oral counseling, warning or reprimand, shall be entitled to appeal such action to the Fire Chief, Personnel Advisory Board and the City Manager, in accordance with Personnel Policy Section 11-3.1 (PPPM 11-3.1).
Section 2. Informal Hearing Procedure
The Informal Hearing Procedure, as opposed to the formal procedures, may be used in the City’s sole discretion in any of the following circumstances:
1. When there is no disputed issue of material fact, or
2. When there is a disputed issue of material fact, but it is limited to:
a. A monetary amount of not more than one thousand dollars ($1,000) or b. A disciplinary action imposed on an employee that does not involve termination from employment, demotion, or suspension without pay for more than five (5) shifts or five (5) days.
This constitutes the sole Government Code section 11445.30 notice of hearing that states the Department’s selection of the informal hearing procedure. Therefore, such notice shall not be - 42 -
repeated in conjunction with each hearing governed by the informal hearing procedure.
The Fire Chief or designee shall be the presiding officer and shall regulate the course of the proceeding. The presiding officer shall permit the parties to offer written or oral comments on the issues. The presiding officer may limit the use of witnesses, testimony, evidence and argument, and may limit or eliminate the use of pleadings, intervention, discovery, pre-hearing conferences and rebuttal.
The presiding officer may deny use of the informal procedure, or may convert an informal hearing to a formal hearing after an informal hearing is commenced, if it appears to the presiding officer that cross-examination is necessary for proper determination of the matter and that delay, burden or complication due to allowing cross-examination in the informal hearing will be more than minimal.
Pursuant to section 11445.50(b), the Fire Department has determined that cross-examination is not necessary for proper determination of the matters subject to review under the informal hearing procedure. However, the presiding officer may allow cross-examination of witnesses in an informal hearing notwithstanding the City’s determination, if it appears to a presiding officer that in the circumstances cross-examination is necessary for proper determination of the matter. (Section 11445.50(b).)
If the presiding officer has reason to believe that material facts are in dispute, the presiding officer may require a party to state the identity of the witnesses or other sources through which the party would propose to present proof if the proceeding were converted to a formal hearing procedure. If disclosure of a fact, allegation or source is privileged or expressly prohibited by a regulation, statute or the federal or state constitution, the presiding officer may require the party to indicate that confidential facts, allegations or sources are involved, but not to disclose the confidential facts, allegations or sources. (Section 11445.60(a).)
If a party has reason to believe that essential facts must be obtained in order to permit an adequate presentation of the case, the party may inform the presiding officer regarding the general nature of the facts and the sources from which the party would propose to obtain the facts if the proceeding were converted to a formal hearing procedure. (Section 11445.60(b).) Section 3. Formal Hearing Procedure:
The formal appeal shall be conducted in procedural compliance with section 11500 et. seq. Pursuant to section 11512, the City has determined that, in those instances where a formal hearing is required, the City shall continue to hear the case through pre-existing processes (i.e., via the Personnel Advisory Board) with an administrative law judge (ALJ) present during the consideration of the case. (Section 11517(b).) The proceedings governing such an appeal are set forth in detail below.
The following procedure will be followed in the conduct of a formal administrative hearing:
A. Within 10 calendar days of the receipt of a written Notice of Intent to Suspend, Demote or Dismiss, the employee may submit a written response to the disciplinary action to the Fire Chief or designee. The employee shall set forth all the facts necessary to understand the - 43 -
issues involved. The response shall be signed by the employee and shall be submitted to the Fire Chief’s office within 10 calendar days. In lieu of a written appeal, the employee may request a (Skelly) meeting with the Fire Chief to make his/her response verbally.
B. Within 10 calendar days following the receipt of the employee’s response, the Fire Chief or designee will set a date and time for the pre-disciplinary (Skelly) meeting.
C. If the response is submitted in writing, the Fire Chief will give consideration to the matter and inform the employee in writing within 20 calendar days, as to whether the intended disciplinary action has been affirmed, revoked or modified.
D. Following conclusion of a pre-disciplinary (Skelly) meeting by the Fire Chief or designee, where the resultant punitive action results in the imposition of punitive action within the jurisdiction of this formal hearing process, the City shall serve the employee with a final Notice of Discipline. At a minimum, Notice of Discipline shall include a post card or other form of notice which, when signed by or on behalf of the employee and returned to the City, will acknowledge service of the Notice. The Notice shall also state that the employee’s request for a hearing must be received by the City within fifteen (15) calendar days after the Notice is personally served or mailed. (Please refer to section 11505 for what should be included in the Notice of Discipline.)
E. The employee may file an appeal of the disciplinary action to the Personnel Advisory Board (Board) by submitting an appeal to the Human Resources Office within fifteen (15) calendar days of being served with the Notice of Discipline. The appeal shall constitute a request for a hearing, any objection to the factual basis for the discipline, objection to the form of the Notice of Discipline, procedural objection, or any other grounds for defense. (See section 11506 for what should be included in a Notice of Defense by the employee.) F. Upon receipt of the request from the employee, the Human Resources Office shall set the matter for hearing before the Personnel Advisory Board (Board) as expeditiously as possible and shall give the employee and his representative written notice of the time and place of the hearing.
G. The Board will conduct the hearing(s) as it deems necessary to determine the pertinent facts related to the disciplinary action with the ALJ presiding. (Section 11512.) The ALJ shall rule on the admission and exclusion of evidence and on matters of law. The Board shall exercise all other powers relating to the conduct of the hearing, but may delegate any or all of them to the ALJ. Such hearing(s) will be closed to the public unless the employee requesting the hearing(s) requests in advance that the hearing(s) be open to the public. The employee(s) and Fire Department representative(s) shall have the right to appear before the Board during such hearings and may have counsel present. If either party appears before the Board, both shall be present.
Conduct of Formal Hearing
1. A record of the hearing shall be made and kept by use of a certified shorthand reporter - 44 -
who shall be selected by the City. The per diem fee of the shorthand reporter shall be borne by the City. The costs of transcription shall be borne by the party ordering the transcript.
2. All fees and expenses of the ALJ shall be borne by the City.
3. All fees and expenses related to the securing of a representative and/or legal counsel, witness fees and other expenses attendant to the presentation of evidence, shall be borne by the party at whose direction said expense is incurred.
4. At the time set for the hearing, the Board, with the assistance of the ALJ, shall hear, de novo, and consider the evidence presented on behalf of the appointing authority which purportedly constitutes the grounds for the disciplinary action. The employee shall have the right to cross-examine any witness called. Thereafter, the employee shall be given the opportunity to present any competent and relevant evidence and to be represented by an attorney or other person, employed at such employee’s expense, in a representative capacity.
5. Proceedings before the Board need not be conducted in strict conformity with the rules of evidence as applied in a court of law, but all parties shall observe the substance of the rules of evidence, to the end that the matter may be fully heard and determined upon reliable evidentiary matter. Hearsay that would be inadmissible in a civil or criminal proceeding cannot in and of itself support a finding by the hearing officer without corroboration. In general, the hearing officer shall admit evidence, including hearsay, which is of such reliability that reasonable persons rely upon it in the conduct of serious matters such as the hearing.
6. The burdens of proof and production of evidence on the charges shall be borne by the Department. The standard of proof shall be by a preponderance of the evidence. The employee will have the burden of proof on any affirmative defenses.
7. The ALJ shall rule on all questions pertaining to procedure, in connection with hearings held before the Board and the administrative law judge, provided that the Board shall retain the right to overrule the ALJ on any determination made by majority vote.
8. No later than ten (10) days prior to the date of commencement of the hearing the parties shall exchange lists of witnesses each intends to call at the hearing, and a list of documents it intends to introduce at the hearing. Copies of such documents shall be attached to the list provided for herein. They shall be served on opposing side on or before the tenth (10th) day prior to commencement of the hearing. Absent a showing of good cause, failure to comply with these requirements shall result in exclusion of witness testimony and/or rejection of exhibits not designated in the submissions. These disclosure requirements do not apply to rebuttal witnesses.
Neither party to the proceedings shall issue threats or take other actions reasonably calculated to discourage an identified witness from either testifying or from testifying - 45 -
other than consistent with the witnesses’ best recollection and honest belief as to matters within his/her knowledge. However, the act of interviewing a witness shall not in and of itself be deemed violative of this section.
9. The Board and/or the ALJ shall be empowered to issue subpoenas for the production of persons and documents. The Board and/or the ALJ shall designate the subpoena form to be utilized in such case. The California Code of Procedure, Evidence Code and other applicable statutes shall apply to the validity and processing of subpoenas and to the method of service of the same.
H. The Board shall prepare and certify its findings and recommendations in writing and submit them to the City Manager for review. The Secretary of the Board shall give written notice to the employee and the Fire Chief of its determination. A copy of the findings and recommendations shall be provided to the employee.
I. The Board, with the assistance of the ALJ shall recommend to the City Manager to affirm, reverse or modify the decision appealed. The City Manager’s decision shall constitute final administrative action by the City.
J. Within 21 calendar days of receiving the Board’s written findings and recommendations, the City Manager will issue his/her decision adopting, rejecting or modifying the discipline. The City Manager’s decision shall become effective thirty (30) days after delivered or mailed to the employee.
K. Continuances - A party shall apply for any continuance within ten (10) working days following the time the party discovered or reasonably should have discovered the event or occurrence which establishes good cause for the continuance. A continuance may be granted for good cause after the ten (10) working days have elapsed if the party seeking the continuance is not responsible for and has made a good faith effort to prevent the condition or event establishing the good cause. (Section 11524.)
L. Judicial Review - Judicial review of the City Manager’s decision shall be sought within the time constraints of California Civil Procedure section 1094.6 (mandating that a petition for peremptory writ of mandate shall be filed not later than the 90th day following the date on which the City Manager’s decision is mailed by first-class mail, postage pre-paid, including a copy of the affidavit or certificate of mailing).

This MOU is between the City of Santa Fe Springs (City or Employer) and the Santa Fe Springs Management and Confidential Employees Association (hereinafter referred to as the Association) and shall remain in full force and effect between the dates of July 1, 2024 and June 30, 2027.
Section 2. Recognition
Pursuant to the provisions of City Council Resolution No. 3005, the City recognizes the Association as the exclusive bargaining representative with regards to the meet and confer process relating to wages, hours and other terms and conditions of employment contained in this MOU. The job titles represented by the Association are those identified in Appendix A. The City shall recognize its obligations under this MOU, the Meyers-Milias-Brown Act, Government Code Section 3500, et.seq.
Section 3. Release Time
During periods of formal labor negotiations between the Association and City, Association negotiation team members who are on-duty shall be granted release time. Association Board members will be granted reasonable time off without loss of pay but for not more than two days at any one time, and limited to not more than five Board members at any one time, to attend but not exclusively limited to legislative and employer-employee relations conferences and training sessions. Approval by the City Manager for release time requests of this nature beyond two meetings per year is needed. The Association will use its best faith efforts to keep the frequency and number of members attending to a reasonable level. The Association will always work with department management to ensure that the release time requested is properly scheduled to avoid undue hardship to the operations of the department. All expenses associated with such release time will be borne by the Association unless otherwise permitted by the City. 2 Section 4. Labor Relations Committee
A Labor Relations Committee composed of City and Association representatives will meet quarterly to discuss workplace issues regarding wages, hours and working conditions or special projects related to those areas. When beneficial, the committee may consult with outside individuals with specific knowledge on the topic of discussion.
Section 5. Association Dues Deduction
The City shall deduct from each paycheck of unit employees the regular [periodic] membership dues, initiation fees, and general assessments, as well as payment of any other membership benefit program sponsored by the Association. Such deductions shall be made only when the Association member’s earnings for a pay period are sufficient after other legally required deductions are made.
The Association hereby certifies that it has and shall maintain all such deduction authorizations signed by the individual from whose salary or wages the deduction is to be made and shall not be required to provide a copy of an individual authorization to the City unless a dispute arises about the existence or terms of the authorization. The Association membership dues shall be deducted each pay period in accordance with City procedures and provisions of applicable law from the salary of each employee whose name is provided by the Association.
The City shall remit the total amount of deductions to the Association within thirty (30) days of the date of the deduction. Any changes in the Association dues must be given to the City a minimum of fifteen (15) days prior to change to accommodate changes to payroll.
The Association shall indemnify the City from any claims relating to the City’s compliance with this Dues Deduction provision, except for any claims arising from City’s own negligence.
Section 6. Bulletin Board Space
The Association will be permitted to maintain areas accessible for all represented employees adequate bulletin board space suitable for the display of Association business.
Section 7. New Employee Orientation/Employee Information New Employee Orientation
City will provide the Association with 10 calendar days advanced notice of all new employee orientations within the bargaining unit, unless it is unable to reasonably do so because of an unforeseeable urgent need critical to City operations. If such a case arises, the City will provide as much notice as possible to the Association, or make other arrangements for the Association to meet with the new employee. The Association will select its representative to meet with the new employee and that meeting will be conducted after completion of the Human Resources orientation. When selecting its representative, the Association will make reasonable efforts to minimize disruption to the department operational needs. 3 The Association will be provided up to 30 minutes to discuss, among other things, the rights and obligations created by the MOU, the role of the Association, and to answer any questions that the new employee may have.
Employee Information
The City will provide the employee information it has on file in compliance with AB119 (name, job, title, department, work location, work, home and personal cellular telephone numbers, personal email addresses on file with the City, and home address) for all new hires within the bargaining unit within 30 days of hire, as well as for all employees represented by the Association at least twice per year and an additional one time per year upon the Association’s request.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, pursuant to Government Code §3358 (in AB 119), an employee may opt out via written request to the City (copy to the Association) to direct the City to withhold disclosure of the employee’s personal information: home address, home and personal cellular telephone numbers, and personal email addresses.
City may notify employee of the ability to opt out of disclosing personal information to the Association.
Article II.
Management Rights
Section 1. General Provision
The exclusive rights of the City include, but are not limited to, the right to determine the mission of its constituent departments, divisions or commissions and boards; set standards of service and municipal fees and charges; determine the procedures and standards of selection for employment, assignment, transfer and promotions; direct its employees; take disciplinary actions; relieve its employees from duty for legitimate reasons; maintain the efficiency of governmental operations; determine the methods, means and personnel by which governmental operations are to be conducted; determine the content of job classifications; take all necessary actions to carry out its mission in emergencies; exercise complete control and discretion over its organization and the technology of performing its work. The City is in no way precluded from seeking alternative ways of providing services if the City Council deems it is in the City’s best interest to do so.
The parties recognize that there are existing ordinances, resolutions and policies relating to benefits and other conditions of employment and the same are not affected by this Agreement except as provided herein. The City agrees not to reduce or abridge the level of supplemental benefits currently available to all represented employees during the term of this Agreement without mutual consent.
The parties hereto recognize that the City shall and will retain the exclusive right to manage and 4 direct the performance of City services and work force performing such services. The City and Association agree that nothing in this Memorandum of Understanding shall in any way abridge, restrict or modify the rights and prerogatives of the City as set forth in Section 6 of Resolution No. 3005 of the Santa Fe Springs City Council and such section is hereby incorporated by this reference and made part hereof as though set forth in full.
Section 2. Disciplinary Action and Employment Separations An employee may be disciplined, including, suspended, demoted or dismissed whenever the employee’s work or conduct so warrants. Any such action shall be in accordance with the procedures as set forth in the Personnel Resolution and appropriate Personnel Policy & Procedure.
Whenever employee performance falls below the required level or when an employee engages in misconduct, the supervisor shall inform the employee promptly and specifically of such lapses. If appropriate and justified, following a discussion of the matter, a reasonable time for improvement or correction may be allowed before any further disciplinary action is initiated. In situations where oral warning has not resulted in the correction of the condition or where more severe initial action is warranted, a written reprimand shall be sent to the employee and a copy placed in the employee’s personnel file. When other forms of disciplinary action have proven ineffective, or where the seriousness of the offense or condition warrants, the City Manager may reduce pay, transfer, demote or dismiss the employee.
Section 3. Re-Opener
If state or federal law is adopted or documented evidence such as the passage of the California State budget indicates a significant change in the City’s financial conditions which adversely affects the City’s capability to meet the terms of this agreement, any part of the total agreement can be opened to the meet and confer process during the term of this agreement.
Section 4. Waiver
Except as provided herein, the Association hereby expressly waives any right to request any improvements or changes in salaries, benefits or other terms and conditions of employment for the employees represented by the Association which would take effect prior to July 1, 2024, and the City of Santa Fe Springs, through its representatives, shall not be required to meet and confer as to any such request.
5 Article III.
Work Period, Hours and Staffing
Section 1. Work Schedules and Work Periods
Upon the authorization of the City Manager, employees may work a traditional 5/40, 4/10 or 9/80 work schedule. The City Manager maintains the final authority to determine work schedules as necessary.
For employees working a 5/40 or 4/10 work schedule, the work period is a seven consecutive day work week beginning on Monday at 12:01 a.m. and ending the following Sunday at midnight.
For employees working the alternative work schedule known as the 9/80 work schedule, each such employee’s seven consecutive day work week shall begin and end four hours into the eight hour work day which the employee works in alternating weeks. Regularly scheduled hours within the seven consecutive day work week shall be comprised of 40 hours.
Section 2. Modified Duty
If the industrial medical provider recommends modified duty on the same date an injury occurs and with approval from the City Manager, the employee will report to work for the remainder of the shift in a modified duty capacity that abides by the employee’s work restrictions. The City has the right to revert the employee to a traditional 5/40 schedule during the time the employee is on modified duty. A request to work a 4/10 or 9/80 work schedule or another schedule may be approved by the City at its sole discretion, until the industrial medical provider returns the employee to regular duty.
The same procedure shall be followed to schedule modified duty that abides by the employee’s work restrictions, for employees whose medical status change, such as from “unable to return to duty” to “able to return to modified duty” as determined by the industrial medical provider.
At the sole discretion of the City, modified duty may be available for employees whose temporary restrictions, as certified by a medical provider, can be accommodated by the City. Priority will be given to those employees whose injuries are industrial. The City’s decision to provide modified duty is final and is not subject to appeal.
6 Article IV.
Wages and Compensation
Section 1. Pay Plan
All employees will be paid on a bi-weekly basis. Payroll checks will be made available to employees on the Thursday following the completion of each bi-weekly period. In the event that a payday falls on a holiday, payroll checks may be made available on the first day preceding the holiday.

3. Effective the pay period that includes July 1, 2026, a two percent (2%) cost of living adjustment (COLA)
Section 3. Implementation of the Classification & Compensation Study
1. Effective the pay period that includes July 1, 2024, the new 10-step pay range from the compensation study will go into effect.
2. At that time, bargaining unit members will be placed on the step within the new 10 step pay range that is closest to, but not equal or lower than, their current rate of base pay.
3. Effective the pay period that includes July 1, 2024, and after bargaining unit employees have been placed upon their new step in the 10-step pay range, the entire pay range will increase by a 3% COLA and employees’ base salaries will be adjusted accordingly.
4. Based on a satisfactory performance evaluation, bargaining unit employees will be eligible to advance to the next step within the 10-step pay range, on their anniversary / promotion date.
Merit Salary Adjustment:
Upon recommendation of the Department Director that an employee’s performance has been above average, an employee receiving less than the maximum rate of base pay within the assigned range for the classification may be given a merit salary adjustment upon approval by the City Manager. A full time employee is eligible for this adjustment upon completion of 6-months service each in Steps 1 and in Step 2 and one (1) year service each in Steps 3 and 4. 7 Section 4. Overtime Compensation
When necessary to perform essential work, Department Directors, Managers or Supervisors may require non-exempt employees to work at any time other than during their regular working hours until such work is accomplished. Payment of overtime to non-exempt Association employees shall be paid at a rate of one and one half (1½) the regular rate of pay in accordance with the Fair Labor Standards Act and shall apply to all designated non-exempt positions. The maximum number of hours worked per seven-day work week paid at the base hourly rate shall be 40 hours. An employee may, with Department Head approval, take time off in lieu of overtime pay if it is taken in the same work period the overtime is earned. For example, if an employee works 2 hours overtime on Monday, the employee may take 2 hours off before the end of the work week. For the purpose of overtime calculations, furlough hours will be considered hours worked.
Section 5. Educational Incentive Pay
1. Certified Public Accountant Certification Pay
Employees certified as public accountants (CPA) shall receive 5.5% of their regular pay per month. Employees shall immediately notify their supervisor if they have lost their certification for any reason.
