FOR THE COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 19, 2024

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
TO: City Council
FROM: City Attorney Thomas T. Watson
SUBJECT: Adoption of a Resolution approving an Agreement for Professional Services with Langan CA, Inc.

Description:

The City Council will consider approving the Agreement for Services of Langan CA, Inc.

RECOMMENDATION:

BACKGROUND:

The California Regional Water Quality Control Board has issued a Cleanup and Abatement Order for the 2900 block of Industrial Parkway that was at one time the location of SEMCO Twist Drill and Tool Company. The property was owned by the City of Santa Maria in conjunction with the County of Santa Barbara from 1949 to 1964. The order is against the City of Santa Maria, the County of Santa Barbara, the Santa Maria Public Airport District, and various properties that have occupied the property.

DISCUSSION:

In response to the Cleanup Abatement Order by the Regional Water Quality Control Board the City of Santa Maria, the County of Santa Barbara, and the Santa Maria Public Airport District have agreed to enter into an agreement with Langan CA, Inc. to conduct environmental site assessments, investigations, risk assessments, groundwater monitoring, work plans, reports, feasibility studies; and provide comment and direction on existing data to fully delineate the site to take appropriate action of the order. Each party will be responsible for one-third of the total cost. The contract, which will take several years to complete, has a not to exceed amount of $2,572,000.

Alternative(s)
The City Council may decline to enter into an agreement with the contractor Langan CA, Inc., and take on all costs associated with independent studies, monitoring, reporting and remediation. The City will be responsible for obtaining its own consultant to respond to the Cleanup and Abatement Order.

Fiscal Considerations
Working with the County of Santa Barbara, Santa Maria Public Airport District prevents duplicative efforts and costs associated with the order. The City's portion of the contract is up to $800,000 over the next three years and will be paid under the Risk Management Division. No additional funding is being requested.

Impact to the Community
Approving the agreement between the City of Santa Maria, the County of Santa Barbara, and the Santa Maria Public Airport District with Langan CA, Inc. allows the City of Santa Maria to meet the requirements of the Regional Board Cleanup and Abatement Order No.

City Council
Interim City Manager Alex Posada
Interim Chief Human Resources Officer Dawn Jackson
Adoption of a Resolution approving the Wage and Benefit Package for the Non -Represented Management and Confidential Employees, Public Safety Managers; and Adoption of a Resolution Approving the CaIPERS Comprehensive Schematic Pay Schedule
Description:

The City Council will consider authorizing and approving a Resolution for the wage and benefits package for the Non -Represented Management and Confidential Employees and Public Safety Managers, and consider adopting a Resolution approving the Comprehensive Schematic Pay Schedule for all full-time and part-time employees in accordance with CaIPERS guidelines.

RECOMMENDATION:

1. Adopt a Resolution authorizing and approving the wage and benefits package for the Non -Represented Management and Confidential Employees;

2. Adopt a Resolution authorizing and approving the wage and benefits package for the Public Safety Managers; and

3. Adopt a Resolution approving the Comprehensive Schematic Pay Schedule for all full-time and part-time employees in accordance with CaIPERS guidelines.

BACKGROUND:

City staff met with the Non -Represented Management and Confidential (NMAC) Employee group on February 13, 2024, and is bringing forward a wage and benefit package for the City Council's consideration that is consistent with the City Council's parameters. City staff also discussed updates to the successor Resolution with the Public Safety Managers (PSM) on February 20, 2024, and is bringing forward a wage and benefit package for the City Council's consideration that is consistent with the City Council's parameters.

DISCUSSION:

A recommendation to adopt a Resolution authorizing and approving the wage and benefits package for Non -Represented Management and Confidential Employees. After concluding negotiations with Service Employees International Union Local 620 (SEIU), the Human Resources Division had an informal discussion with the NMAC Employees

regarding updates to the SEIU agreement. NMAC agreements historically align with those of SEIU. The attached Resolution calls for a two-year term with a five percent increase in year one, and a five percent increase in year two for a total ten percent base salary increase for all members over two years; an increase to health insurance; and other minimal changes including clean-up language changes.

A recommendation to adopt a Resolution authorizing and approving the wage and benefits package for Public Safety Managers (PSM). After concluding negotiations with SEIU, the Human Resources Division had an informal discussion with the Public Safety Managers. The attached Resolution calls for a two-year term with a total ten percent base salary increase for all members; an increase to health insurance; and other minimal changes including clean-up language changes.

A Schedule for the City of Santa Maria is created and presented in accordance with CaIPERS regulations intended to ensure consistency when reporting compensation for City employees. The Public Employees' Retirement Law (PERL) Government Code Section 20636(b)(1) requires pay amounts to be paid pursuant to publicly available pay schedules. The Schedule includes pay rate information for all full-time and part-time employees. The Schedule enhances the disclosure and transparency of public employee compensation by requiring that the pay rates be listed on a single -pay schedule as per CaIPERS' requirements.

CaIPERS requires whenever there are changes to one or more pay rates, whether through the meet -and -confer process, employment contracts, new classifications, reclassifications, etc., the City is required to update the Schedule and present it to the City Council for review and approval. Any updates will include an effective date and date of any revisions and are to be retained by the City and available for public inspection for not less than five years. The Schedule (Attachment A) incorporates these changes and previously authorized positions. Upon adoption of the Resolution by the City Council, the Schedule will be posted on the City of Santa Maria's website.

Alternative(s)
A decision by the City Council not to authorize and approve the NMAC and PSM Resolutions will result in a continuation of discussions. In addition, the decision by the City Council not to authorize and approve the Schedule would result in being out of compliance with CaIPERS.

Fiscal Considerations
The attached Resolutions and wage and benefits package call for a net increase to total compensation of approximately $2,012,600 over two years for NMAC members and $560,000 for PSM members.

Impact to the Community
Overall, City services will continue to be provided by City employees with no decrease in the level of service to the public. Instead, it is expected that there will be a positive impact and increase to current service levels to the public achieved by attraction and retention 2 of talent management; increased employee job satisfaction; and increased performance to serve the community. The requested schedule change will enhance service to the community and maintain compliance with CaIPERS.

- The employee can choose any pay period(s) during the year to receive the elected cash -out and must declare the selected pay period for cash -out at the time of election.
- Once an election is made it cannot be rescinded.
- The employee will be responsible for making sure the required number of hours to be cashed -out are available at the time of each cash -out. If an employee has not met the requirements, the employee will not be eligible for that cash -out during the year.
- Employees will be eligible for partial cash -outs if the full amount of hours elected are not available at the elected time of cash -out. For example, if an employee elects to cash -out 40 vacation hours during the first pay period in November but only 20 hours are available at that time, 20 hours would be cashed -out. - Employees will be required to complete the City's standardized election form. - Failure to submit an irrevocable election form by December 1st of each year shall be the same as not electing to cash -out leave during the following payroll calendar year.

No portion of the management leave hours may be accumulated or rolled over from one payroll calendar year to another, and all unused management leave will automatically be erased from the books at the end of the payroll calendar year. For employees separating service or starting during the calendar year, management leave will be pro -rated (to the nearest half-hour) based on the number of full pay periods elapsed or remaining during the payroll year. If an employee, prior to separating service, used more management leave than the pro -rated amount for the payroll year, the excess used management leave will be deducted from vacation leave hours, then if needed, from the employee's final paycheck without the necessity of the City securing a judgment.

All employees separating service or starting during the calendar year, floating holidays will be pro -rated (rounded to the nearest half-hour) based on the number of full pay periods elapsed or remaining during the payroll year. If an employee, prior to separating service, used more floating holiday time than the pro -rated amount for the payroll year, the excess used floating holiday time will be deducted from vacation leave hours, then if needed, from the employee's final paycheck without the necessity of the City securing a judgment.

The employee working in a higher classification shall be compensated back to and including the first day that s/he works in the higher classification.

11. Special Assignment/Project Pay
Where employees, on a temporary basis, are assigned, by their department director, to perform a significant project outside the scope of their position, the City Manager may authorize payment not to exceed fifteen percent (15%) than the employee's current salary. This shall not be in addition to the standard (5%) move -up pay.

The special assignment and/or project should connect individual achievement to organizational goals, which provides an incentive for their performance. The special assignment and/or project shall not change in any way an employee's ability to meet the core expectations of his or her job. Unlike standard move -up pay, granting this pay shall be at the sole discretion of the City Manager.

12. TUITION REIMBURSEMENT (See CAM 76-4)
The City will reimburse employees up to $1,000 per calendar year for the cost of tuition and books if a grade of "C" or better is obtained for undergraduate, and "B" or better for post graduate work; or for (Department Director approved) job -related courses taken on the employee's own time, that result in a course completion certificate issued a recognized training organization.

Receipts must be received by the City for processing within 60 days of course completion.

For those in the position of Senior Systems Analyst (SSA) the City will reimburse employees the full cost of obtaining and maintaining the following certifications: Cisco (CCNA) network associate certificate, Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (MCSE), and 5 Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP).

Vacation accrual for full-time employees shall be as follows:

Years
0-5
6-9
10 11-19

10 15
16 20
21 Days/Year
The maximum amount of vacation accumulation at any one time shall be 336 hours for full-time employees, and 416 hours of executive managers on at -will employment contracts. When an employee reaches the maximum allowable vacation credit, no additional vacation credit shall be accrued until the vacation balance is below the maximum.

During the calendar year, full-time employees performing at an acceptable or superior level are eligible to predesignate a cash -out or sell -back up to forty (40) hours of vacation time at straight time on two occasions anytime during the payroll calendar year, so long as they have (after said cash -out) a minimum vacation balance of at least forty (40) hours on the books. This cash -out benefit shall be made in accordance with Section 7, Constructive Receipt.

The City will reinstate vacation accrual rates for previous years of service for former City employees who have completed 26 pay periods and probationary period (if applicable) after returning to City employment.

14. SICK LEAVE
Sick leave will be granted to employees when they are incapacitated for the performance of duties by sickness, injury, or for medical, dental, or optical examination or treatment, and a new full-time employee shall be eligible to use sick leave for bona fide illness as it is accumulated.

Full-time management and confidential employees will accumulate 3.69 hours of sick leave per payroll period with no maximum accumulation.

An employee may use up to half of his/her annually accrued sick leave for family illness per California Labor Code 233 and 245.5 (4) (c). Additional sick leave may be used for family illness upon approval through Human Resources.
6 Unused sick leave at time of retirement, for which there is no compensation or remuneration at all to the employee, will be converted to additional service credit at the rate of 0.004 years of service credit for each full day, i.e., 250 days of sick leave for one additional year of service credit. Sick leave hours will be converted to days in the following manner: the unused hours of sick leave for which there is no compensation or remuneration will be divided by eight (8). Any fraction of a day will not be counted toward service credit. There is no limit on the amount of accumulated sick leave that can be converted to service credit. PERS rules mandate that this benefit shall apply to members whose effective date of retirement is within four months of separation from employment and who retire after the effective date of this benefit in the agency's contract. For the purpose of reporting sick leave hours to PERS under the sick leave credit benefit option, sick leave hours shall be reduced only by the actual hours paid under the sick leave incentive program.

The City's sick leave incentive program shall compensate employees at the rate of 50 percent for all accrued sick leave beyond 480 hours to a maximum of 1,200 hours when the employee leaves City service upon regular retirement, disability retirement, or death.

The City shall retire an employee prior to the exhaustion of sick leave in conjunction with an industrial or non -industrial injury upon a determination that the employee's condition is permanent and stationary for disability retirement purposes. The employee's unused sick leave shall be compensated pursuant to the terms of the City's sick leave incentive program as described above. These provisions are intended to contravene Government Code Section 21025.2 insofar as it provides that an employee's disability retirement will not commence until all sick leave benefits are exhausted.

15. BEREAVEMENT
Up to five days (equating to: up to 40 hours) per incident may be used for family bereavement leave charged to any accrued leave bank. The term "family" in this section shall be defined as anyone per California Labor Code Section 245.5 (4) (c).

The above referenced bereavement leave will also apply to leave for reproductive loss event, defined as a failed adoption, failed surrogacy, miscarriage, stillbirth, or an unsuccessful assisted reproduction. If an employee experiences more than one reproductive loss event within a 12 -month period, the employer is not obligated to grant a total amount of reproductive loss leave time in excess of 20 days within a 12 -month period.

6. MANAGEMENT LEAVE
Management leave is designed to recognize and compensate for work in excess of forty (40) hours per week by exempt non -shift employees and fifty-six (56) hours per week for exempt shift employees. While management leave is not based on overtime hours worked on an hour -for -hour basis, it does allow employees to take paid time off in recognition of hours worked in excess of forty (40) hours per work week for non -shift employees or fifty-six (56) hours per week for shift employees.

During the first payroll period of each new payroll calendar year, all eligible exempt employees shall be credited with a designated amount of management leave time (rounded to the nearest half-hour) to be used during that payroll calendar year.

For employees separating service or starting during the calendar year, management leave will be pro -rated (to the nearest half-hour) based on the number of full pay periods elapsed or remaining during the payroll year. If an employee, prior to separating service, used more management leave than the pro- rated amount for the payroll year, the excess used management leave will be deducted from vacation leave hours, then if needed, from the employee's final paycheck without the necessity of the City securing a judgment. Accordingly, management leave is a "use it or lose it" benefit and no unused management leave will be cashed -out.

The City will recognize seven (7) (eight hour) holidays as fixed holidays for non - shift managers (with the exception of any 40 -hour Fire Battalion Chiefs): New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, the day after Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas.

Prior to the second to last full pay period in the payroll calendar year, non -shift managers are eligible to use and/or cash -out up to forty-eight (48) hours of floating holiday time on one occasion anytime during the (payroll) calendar year. Any floating holiday hours remaining on the books after the second to last full pay period in the payroll calendar year will automatically be cashed -out and included in the last payroll check of the calendar year.

B. The City will recognize holidays for Fire Battalion Chiefs commensurate with other fire sworn shift personnel (Municipal Code section 2-20.20 and CAM 78-2).

In recognition of the current calendar year's holidays, shift fire managers shall be paid for six (6) pro -rated work shifts (at the fifty-six (56) rate of pay) effective the last pay period ending in November of each year. The six (6) pro -rated shifts shall not be converted for employees temporarily assigned to a forty (40) hour work week and will be paid at the fifty-six (56) hour rate of pay. The 40 -hour Training Battalion Chief shall work the fixed holidays that fall on a regularly scheduled workday or may utilize leave time. The six (6) pro -rated shifts shall be reported to the California Public Employees Retirement System (CaIPERS) as special compensation.

C. For employees separating service or starting during the calendar year, paid holiday hours will be pro -rated (rounded to the nearest half-hour) based on the number of full pay periods elapsed or remaining during the payroll year. If an employee, prior to separating service, used more floating holiday time than the pro- rated amount for the payroll year, the excess used floating holiday time will be deducted from vacation leave hours, then if needed, from the employee's final paycheck without the necessity of the City securing a judgment. 5 9.

Notwithstanding this provision, said salary survey procedures shall not be interpreted to mandate the setting of salary and/or other forms of compensation at the level indicated in the salary survey.

Originally, the parties agreed to add an additional percentage of 2.86 percent to the top step salary of Police Chief and 3.2 percent to the top step of Fire Chief for salary survey purposes until all surveyed CaIPERS agencies have the EPMC benefit, however, due to Public Employee Pension Reform Act (PEPRA) legislation, the parties agree to reduce the percentage commensurately with the percentage of unit members in Tier I (as noted in the preceding paragraph).

10. MOVE -UP PAY
Up to a five percent (5%) differential in salary shall be allowed for those personnel who are assigned to perform duties above their classification for five (5) consecutive working days.

The employee working in a higher classification shall be compensated back to and including the first day that s/he works in the higher classification.

The special assignment and/or project should connect individual achievement to organizational goals, which provides an incentive for their performance.

The City will provide the CaIPERS 3% @ 50 retirement benefit, based on the single highest year (one-year final compensation) retirement formula for sworn police employees hired before July 1, 2011, with the City's contribution to the employee's share of retirement being nine percent (9%) and the City reporting to CaIPERS the employer paid members contribution (EPMC) as special compensation for retirement purposes.

Tier 1 Unit Members shall contribute nine percent (9%) towards member contribution cost -sharing of the employer's mandated CaIPERS contribution, which shall be in accordance with Section 414(h)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code whereby the employee contributions shall be tax deferred.

Tier II employees — Police Only:

For classic sworn police employees hired on or after July 1, 2011, the City will provide the CaIPERS 3% @ 55 retirement benefit, based on the last thirty-six (36) months of employment (three-year average highest compensation), and the employees shall be required to pay the entire members' contribution plus nine percent (9%) of the employer contribution.
10 In addition to the above, the City will also provide all sworn police employees with the Pre -Retirement Option 2W Death Benefit.

Tier I employees — Fire Only:

The City will provide the CaIPERS 3% @ 50 retirement benefit, based on the single highest year (one-year final compensation) retirement formula for sworn fire employees hired before July 1, 2011, with the City's contribution to the employee's share of retirement being nine percent (9%) and the City reporting to CalPERS the employer paid members contribution (EPMC) as special compensation for retirement purposes. In addition, the City will also provide said employees with the Post -Retirement Survivor Allowance.

Tier I Unit Members shall contribute eleven percent (11%) towards member contribution cost -sharing of the employer's mandated CaIPERS contribution, which shall be in accordance with Section 414(h)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code whereby the employee contributions shall be tax deferred.

Tier II employees — Fire Only:

For classic sworn fire employees hired on or after July 1, 2011, the City will provide the CaIPERS 3% @ 55 retirement benefit, based on the last thirty-six (36) months of employment (three-year average highest compensation), and the employees shall be required to pay the entire members' contribution. The nine percent (9%) costs paid by the employee shall be done in the following method pursuant to Government Code § 20516, and in particular, subsection (f) which allows for cost sharing contracts that are inconsistent with Section 20516(a) (requiring that the cost -sharing be uniform with respect to all members in the Fire Fighter classifications). Therefore, as to classic safety unit members hired on and after July 1, 2011, only, such new hires shall contribute six percent (6%) of compensation toward the employer's mandated CaIPERS contribution made on behalf of its safety employees. Additionally, said new hires shall also contribute three percent (3%) of their compensation to CaIPERS, as and for the employee designated member contribution to the retirement system. To the extent authorized by CalPERS, the six percent (6%) City paid toward the member's contribution (EPMC) shall be considered to be "special compensation," for purposes of determining the members' compensation reportable to CalPERS.

Tier II Unit Members shall contribute fifteen percent (15%) towards member contribution cost -sharing of the employer's mandated CaIPERS contribution.

In addition to the above, the City will also provide all public safety managers with the CalPERS Section 21024 Military Service Credit as a public service benefit; the CalPERS credit for unused sick leave benefit (see Section 11); and the 1959 CalPERS Survivor Benefit Level 4 benefit.

19. DEFERRED RETIREMENT
11 The City agrees to provide an IRS approved 401(a) deferred compensation plan in addition to the current 457 deferred compensation plan.

20. UNIFORM ALLOWANCE
The City shall provide sworn Police management personnel with a pro -rated uniform allowance of $15.38 per pay period for personal maintenance (cleaning and laundering) of uniforms.

The City also agrees to furnish and replace normally worn or damaged uniform items for the sworn Police management personnel. The standards and specifications of all police uniform items shall be determined by the Police Chief.

Replacement of worn or damaged police uniforms will be subject to inspection and approval by an employee's immediate supervisor.

The City agrees to provide Fire management personnel a pro -rated uniform allowance of $29.00 per pay period for personal maintenance (cleaning and laundering) of uniforms. The City also agrees to furnish and replace normally worn or damaged uniform items for Fire management personnel. The standards and specifications of all fire uniform items shall be determined by the Fire Chief.

Replacement of worn or damaged fire uniforms will be subject to inspection and approval by an employee's immediate supervisor.

For "classic" sworn employees, as defined by PEPRA, for CaIPERS purposes, the value of new and replacement uniforms will be determined by using the average per pay period cost of said uniforms for sworn personnel required per this Resolution to wear a uniform. The average cost will be calculated by using the annual fiscal year cost of uniforms for all eligible sworn personnel, dividing that annual cost by the number of eligible sworn personnel and dividing that result by the number of pay periods in the fiscal year. The per pay period average cost will be updated at the beginning of each payroll calendar year using the previous fiscal year's cost.

21. MEDICAL INSURANCE
An employee shall be eligible for medical insurance upon his/her first day of employment. The effective date of coverage may vary for new employees based upon whether or not the required premium (necessary to pay for the medical insurance) was deducted in the month prior to the benefit commencing.

Employee Only $642.44

Family $1,908.24

Effective the payroll period in which deductions are made for the January 2025 medical premium rates, the City shall increase its contributions to cover the increase in the cost for CaIPERS Gold (all three tier levels) for the 2025 calendar year only.

Should the City reach a signed agreement with Local 2020, SMPAMM, and/or SMPOA that results in the elimination of the cash -in -lieu for new hires, the parties agree to adjust the cash -in -lieu benefit to be consistent with the provisions adopted by other public safety groups.

To establish eligibility for the cash -in -lieu option, employees who do not elect to use the City -sponsored medical benefits shall provide evidence of major medical insurance coverage and sign a City provided form certifying that they have other continuing major medical insurance coverage in compliance with Federal and State law and regulations. Once eligibility has been established, to maintain continued eligibility to receive the cash -in -lieu option employees shall provide said documents prior to January 31St on an annual basis, or as requested by the City. The employee must notify the City within thirty (30) days of the loss of other minimum essential coverage.
