Section 1 – Requirements of the Mitigation Fee Act
(AB1600)
In 1987, the state of California enacted Assembly Bill (AB) 1600, also known as the Mitigation Fee Act, which introduced Section 66000 et. seq. of the Government Code. This Act was later amended by Assembly Bill 518 and Senate Bill (SB) 1693. According to AB1600, the city is obligated to provide annual reports on fee information and submit additional reports every fifth year. Within 180 days after the conclusion of each fiscal year, the City must make accessible the following information from the previous fiscal year:
Requirement 1 – Brief description of the type of fee in the account or fund.
Requirement 2 – Amount of the fee.
Requirement 3 – Beginning and ending balance in the account or fund.
Requirement 4 – Amount of fees collected and the interest earned during the previous year.
Requirement 5 – Identification of each public improvement for which fees were expended and the amount of expenditures, including the total percentage of the cost of the public improvement that was funded with fees.
Requirement 6 – An identification of an approximate date by which the construction of the public improvement will commence if the local agency determines that sufficient funds have been collected to complete financing on an incomplete public improvement and the public improvement remains incomplete.
Requirement 7 – Description of each interfund transfer or loan made from the account, including the public improvement on which the transferred or loaned fees will be expended, and when each loan will be repaid and the rate of interest the account will receive on the loan.
Requirement 8 – Identification of any refunds made once determined that sufficient monies have been collected to fund fee-related projects.
After the initial deposit into the account or fund, and subsequently every five years, including the fifth fiscal year, the City is required to make the following findings regarding any remaining funds in the fee account, regardless of whether those funds are committed or uncommitted:
Identification of the purpose to which the fees are to be put. Demonstrate a reasonable relationship between the use of the fee and the type of development paying the fee.
Identification of all sources and amounts of funding anticipated to complete financing in incomplete improvements identified as part of the City’s annual report. Identification of the approximate dates on which the funding referred to in Requirement 3 is expected to be deposited into the appropriate account or fund. 14 of 245

Agenda Item No. 4.3
DATE: December 16, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Joan Malloy, City Manager
SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution Approving Amendments to the City’s Classification and Compensation Plan for Unrepresented Part-Time, Seasonal, and Temporary Employees to Implement the Increase in the California Minimum Wage, Which Goes Into Effect on January 1, 2026, in Conformance With California Code of Regulations, Title 2, Section 570.5
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution approving amendments to the City’s Classification and Compensation Plan for unrepresented part-time, seasonal, and temporary positions not subject to the Compensation and Benefits Plan, effective December 22, 2025.
This resolution addresses the state-mandated increase in the minimum wage from $16.50 per hour to $16.90 per hour, effective January 1, 2026.
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
This action supports Strategy 8 of Goal B, Governance and Organization Effectiveness, by ensuring that salaries are competitive to recruit, attract, and retain talented employees.
BACKGROUND
Effective January 1, 2026, the California minimum wage will increase from $16.50 per hour to $16.90 per hour, an increase of 2.42%. However, to coincide with the beginning of the payroll period that includes January 1, 2026, the City will implement the new minimum wage effective December 22, 2025.
DISCUSSION
Effective January 1, 2026, the California minimum wage will increase from $16.50 per hour to $16.90 per hour, an increase of 2.42%. The unrepresented part-time, seasonal, and temporary positions affected by the increase in the minimum wage are: Preschool Aide, Recreation Aide, Intern, and Project Specialist.
Staff also recommends applying a similar 2.42% increase to the other unrepresented parttime, seasonal, and temporary positions to avoid compaction. These other part-time, 45 of 245
Agenda Item No. 4.3
City Council Staff Report Page 2 of 2 December 16, 2025 seasonal, and temporary positions include: CRS Program Manager, Preschool Teacher, Program Coordinator, Recreation Leader, Seasonal Maintenance Worker, and Senior Recreation Leader. All of these part-time, seasonal, and temporary positions are at-will, non-benefited positions hired as needed to provide staffing support to the City and its programs.
Finally, staff is correcting an error in the salary range for the Retired Annuitant position, which is also an unrepresented, part-time, temporary position, but is not affected by the minimum wage increase.
FISCAL IMPACT
The funding for the minimum wage increase was anticipated and included in the adopted FY 2025-2026 budget.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution approving amendments to the City’s Classification and Compensation Plan for the unrepresented part-time, seasonal, and temporary positions not subject to the Compensation and Benefits Plan, effective December 22, 2025.

The remaining forty-seven (47) hours of holiday time credit for sworn employees and sixty (60) hours of holiday time credit for non-sworn employees that is credited to their holiday time bank on July 1st of each year is not considered special compensation that is added to the employee’s base salary per Public Employees Retirement Law: Section 571(a)(5).
All Employees
Holiday time is paid at the employee's regular rate with payments to be made in twenty-six (26) equal payments corresponding with each pay period.
o All new employees shall have their holiday time bank hours prorated o An employee may carry over up to one hundred twenty-six (126) hours unused balance in their holiday time bank from one fiscal year to the next fiscal year o If an employee has accumulated holiday time that exceeds 126 hours, and does not have scheduled holiday time off during the current fiscal year that would reduce the employee's accumulated holiday time bank below 126 hours, the Chief of Police can mandate that an employee use their accumulated holiday time, subject to the following:
o The Chief of Police must provide the affected employee with at least seven (7) days' notices before mandating use of accumulated holiday time o The affected employee can utilize the seven (7) days’ notices to identify an alternative (date or dates) to utilize their accumulated holiday time o Mandated use of accumulated holiday time must be for full shifts only In the event the Chief of Police fails to exercise this authority, an employee will be able to carry over accrued holiday time in excess of 126 hours from one fiscal year to the next.
However, in such circumstances, the employee's accrual of holiday time in the following fiscal year will be reduced by an equal amount. See example diagram below.
In the event any employee separates from the Department (for any reason), the employee's hours in their holiday time bank shall be paid at the employee's regular rate of pay.
Employees separating from the City prior to July 1st shall have their holiday time off prorated and any overage paid by the City shall be deducted from any sum owed the employee by the City upon separation.
Requests for Holiday Time Off shall be made in accordance with the Department's vacation use procedure. Employees may only reserve a maximum of six (6) weeks of Vacation and/or Holiday Time during the annual vacation sign up period.

Procedures For Filling Vacancies
The following procedure for filling vacancies will be applicable for the following holidays only:
Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year's Eve, and New Year's Day. At all other times, barring unusual, unexpected, and exigent circumstances, the past practice of filling vacancies/absences will be adhered to (i.e., Posting vacancy for overtime, calling for volunteers, ordering any available personnel in to work).
1. All vacation time scheduled during the "Vacation Sign-Up" period will be honored. Should a vacancy/absence occur the method for filling the vacancy/absence shall begin with section 3 listed below.
2. Time off consisting of a full regularly scheduled workweek, be it 37 hours or 49 hours, shall be honored. Should a vacancy/absence occur the method for filling the vacancy/absence shall begin with section 3 listed below.
3. Should a vacancy/absence occur more than one (1) week prior to a listed holiday the vacancy/absence shall be posted for overtime in accordance with current practice until one week prior to the listed holiday.
4. Should the vacancy/absence remain unfilled utilizing the method specified in Section 3 the Watch Commander for the affected shift shall review the time off request forms from all employees requesting less than a full regularly scheduled shift, and, in order of date requested, order the last employee of the affected shift granted time off to report for duty on the affected date. The Watch Commander shall continue with this method until minimum staffing levels have been attained or until there are no other employees who have requested time off.
5. Should a vacancy/absence still remain after following the methods listed in section 3 and 4 the Watch Commander shall order in to work the least senior employee in the affected section who has the affected holiday off. The Watch Commander shall continue to order in to work the next least senior employee in the affected section who has the affected holiday off, and will continue in order of seniority, until minimum staffing levels have been attained.
Any Employee entering into agreements for "Watch Swaps" on the listed holidays shall be ultimately responsible for ensuring that their slot on the holiday is filled. Should an employee with whom a "Watch Swap" has been negotiated be unable to fulfill the "Swap" the scheduled employee shall work the holiday or make other arrangements with another qualified employee to work the holiday.”
This side letter will be effective retroactively to 1/1/2020.

The provisions set forth herein supersede previous memoranda between the City and Association and shall take precedence over conflicting provisions of any City resolution or ordinance in effect during the term of this Memorandum of Understanding.
SECTION 1.00 GENERAL PROVISIONS

1.3 ASSOCIATION RIGHTS
The City recognizes the right of the Association to police this Agreement, assist its members in resolution of grievances, and participate in the negotiation of this and future Agreements. In recognizing these rights, the City shall provide reasonable time for the negotiating of this and future memoranda. For the purposes of the Memorandum of Understanding, reasonable time shall be that time that is agreed upon between authorized bargaining representatives and their Division Commander, or in their absence, any other available Division Commander. Such time shall be negotiated and agreed upon prior to its use. If agreement cannot be reached the Chief of Police shall decide the issue. No other Association business shall be conducted on City time by any employee of the Police Department without prior approval of the Chief of Police.

SECTION 4.00 LEAVE ADMINISTRATION
4.1 SICK LEAVE ALLOWANCE
Employees shall earn 3.69 hours per pay period of sick leave without limit on accumulation.
Employees or new hires who are absent without pay for any reason for more than thirty-seven (37) hours during a pay period do not earn sick leave benefits for that pay period. Employees shall have sick leave absence deducted in hourly increments. Sick leave shall be taken in periods of no less than one hour.
Recognizing that newly hired employees may experience either personal or family illness that may be sufficiently severe to prevent their coming to work, the Chief of Police has the discretion to take such administrative measures as the Chief of Police deems appropriate to prevent the employee from suffering a loss of compensation. Each incident shall be evaluated on its own merits on a case-by-case basis, and any action taken by the Chief of Police shall be nonprecedent-setting.
A bargaining unit employee may convert up to thirty-seven (37) hours of the employee's accrued sick leave to vacation provided that the employee has four hundred (400) or more hours of accrued sick leave and used twelve and one half (12.5) or less hours of sick leave during the fiscal year. A bargaining unit employee may convert up to twenty-five (25) hours of the employee's accrued sick leave to vacation provided that the employee has four hundred (400) or more hours of accrued sick leave and used more than twelve and one half (12.5) but less than twenty-five (25) hours of sick leave during the fiscal year. Conversion of Sick Leave to Vacation Leave is on an hour-for-hour basis and may only take place at the end of each fiscal year, as requested by the employee. For purposes of this paragraph, sick leave utilized while under protected leave (e.g., FMLA, CFRA, PDL, Workers Compensation, etc.), shall not be counted toward the limitations on sick leave use for purposes of determining eligibility for converting sick leave to vacation.
78 of 245
16 Sworn employees will receive credit for sick leave accrued from their most recent employer for service as a Penal Code Section 830.1 peace officer, up to a maximum of four hundred and eighty (480) hours, upon verification by Union City and the previous employer agency, as needed. This will only apply to sick leave accrued, and not paid out, from the most recent employer
4.2 SICK LEAVE UTILIZATION
Sick leave may be utilized due to the employee's personal sickness, injury, pregnancy-related disability, or sickness or injury in the immediate family, if the immediate family member lives in the same household as the employee. Immediate family means mother, father, sister, brother, spouse, child, grandparent, grandchild, father- in-law, mother-in-law, brother-in-law, sister-inlaw, son-in-law, daughter-in law, stepfather, stepmother, stepchild, domestic partner, or other individuals residing in the household for whom the employee has legal guardianship. The City understands that certain members of the nuclear family of the employee (children and parents of the employee) may not live full time in the same household of the employee, yet the employee may still be a primary caregiver for the individual. In these cases, and upon verification that the employee is a primary caregiver (e.g., Divorce decree, Durable Power of Attorney, etc.), the City recognizes the employee has the responsibility for care of the individual and use of sick leave would be appropriate. Employees shall, whenever possible, make medical, dental and similar appointments outside of working hours and days. If this is not possible, sick leave or personal leave may be utilized for these purposes for a minimum of one (1) hour and up to four (4) hours (except in unusual circumstances). If the employee wishes to use personal leave for medical or dental appointments, the employee shall state that it is for a medical or a dental appointment when submitting the request for time off.
The City will apply sick leave usage according to the Federal Family Medical Leave Act and the California Family Rights Act.
Employees who have scheduled elective time off, and who has completed their last regularly scheduled work assignment prior to the scheduled elective time off, may not substitute sick leave for the scheduled elective time off.
The following will be the policy regarding the use of Sick Leave for the listed holidays:
On Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, Christmas, New Year's Eve, New Year's day, and the 4th of July those employees, assigned to work, who believe that they are too ill to work shall be directed to respond to St. Rose Hospital, or other health care facility currently utilized by the City, to be examined by a physician in order to determine the nature of the illness and if it will affect the employees ability to report to work. A written medical report will be required.
Should an employee feel that he/she is too ill to respond to St. Rose Hospital, or other health care facility currently utilized by the City, for an examination, another employee of the department will respond to transport the ill employee to the hospital. This will be accomplished at the convenience of the Watch Commander taking into account available resources.
The employer may elect to have the hours taken from other time banks to cover the anticipated absence of employee who requests to use sick leave for purposes expressed under this section, and who does not have any sick leave hours in their time bank. The banks from which the employer may select time from are (in order): personal leave, holiday time, and vacation time.
The employer must receive authorization from the employee before taking any comp-time hours from the employee's comp-time bank.
79 of 245
17 Effective July 1, 2012, employees who do not use any sick leave for six (6) consecutive months shall be credited with one (1) additional Floating Holiday. The number of hours for each Floating Holiday earned as a result of this section shall be the same number of hours as the employee's workday at the time the Floating Holiday was earned (e.g., an employee working a 4/10 shift shall receive a 10-hour Floating Holiday, while an employee working a 3/12 work schedule shall receive a 12.33-hour Floating Holiday). For purposes of this paragraph, sick leave utilized for the birth or adoption of a child, including but not limited to bonding leave, shall not be counted toward determining an employee’s eligibility to be awarded a floating holiday.
4.3 SICK LEAVE NOTICE AND CERTIFICATION
In order to achieve compensation while absent on sick leave, the employee or someone on their behalf shall notify the employee's immediate supervisor prior to the time set for reporting to work, except in unusual circumstances. When an absence is for thirty-seven (37) or more consecutive work hours, the employee must file a physician 's certificate with the employee's supervisor, stating the cause of the absence. The supervisor shall forward the certificate to the Administrative Services Director. When the absence is for thirty-seven (37) or more consecutive work hours and is due to sickness or injury in the immediate family, the employee must file a physician’s certificate stating the family member’s cause of illness with the supervisor. The supervisor shall forward the certificate to the Administrative Services Director.
4.4 OCCUPATIONAL INJURY LEAVE
Employees injured while on duty shall receive worker's compensation benefits as prescribed by state law. For a non-sworn employee’s injury or disability that is covered under the state Worker's Compensation Act, the employee is entitled to additional compensation equal to the difference between the employee's regular pay and their disability compensation allowable for a total not to exceed one hundred seventy-six (176) hours per year or equal to one-half (1/2) of the amount of the employee's accumulated sick leave, whichever is greater, as of July 1 of each fiscal year.
Included in the calculation of the one hundred seventy-six (176) hours granted, will be compensation for any waiting period, however, not included would be related medical appointments. Following exhaustion of this benefit, the employee may utilize accumulated sick leave to the extent available to make up the difference between the employee's regular pay and their disability compensation allowance.

Appointments shall be scheduled at the beginning or end of the employee's scheduled shift or modified shift, as much as possible, to minimize adverse impacts to Department operations.
B. The amount of time spent at such appointment(s) shall be reasonable and may include time spent traveling to and from the work site as well as time actually spent receiving therapy.

The parties recognize the Police Department's needs for adequate operational coverage is of paramount consideration in the administration of this policy. The parties shall discuss specific issues and problems arising from the administration of this policy with a view for the reasonableness of the individual situations, and impact on the department's operating commitments.
4.6 PERSONAL LEAVE
Personal business activities are business activities that cannot be conducted at a time other than during the employee's workday. Personal leave shall not be used as a substitute for, or in conjunction with, vacation leave, nor shall it be used to attend social activities.
The employee must request non-emergency personal leave at least twenty-four (24) hours (one day) in advance on the form provided. In cases of emergency, the twenty-four (24) hour notification procedure may be waived by the on-duty Watch Commander or employee's immediate supervisor, provided the appropriate form is completed and the reason for the request is provided.
The City agrees that the approval of Personal Leave is not dependent upon minimum staffing levels. In addition, the City will backfill staff vacancies, which fall below minimum staffing levels, due to the approval of Personal Leave. Finally, in those rare instances where more than one employee per shift may request leave using the Personal Leave time bank, the City reserves the right to limit the number of employees off per shift for operational and safety needs.
The Association accepts that during certain times of the year a request for personal leave may raise questions as to whether the request falls within the guidelines of this policy regarding personal leave. A request by a supervisor for a further explanation does not infer that the request will be denied; and the employee should be willing to provide a reasonable explanation.
Personal Leave requests occurring between 2200-0600 will require verification for any date. In addition, employees requesting Personal Leave on Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, New Year's Eve, Christmas Day, New Year's Day, or the 4th of July will require verification that the usage conforms to the instances enumerated in this section.
The City will convert twenty (20) hours per year of accumulated sick leave to be used for conducting personal business activities. In order for sick leave to be converted, the employee needs a balance of 20 or more hours of sick leave on July 1 of each year. If the employee has less than 20 hours of sick leave available, then the employee is not eligible for conversion. In the employee's first fiscal year, an additional eight (8) hours of personal leave may be accumulated in addition to the regular twenty (20) hours allowance, increasing the personal leave allowance to twenty-eight (28) hours within the fiscal year.
In addition, for employees who have accumulated a minimum of one hundred (100) hours of sick leave as of July 1 of each year, the City will convert eight (8) additional hours of accumulated
81 of 245
19 sick leave for personal leave during the ensuing fiscal year. For employees who have accumulated two hundred (200) hours of sick leave as of July 1 of each year, the City will convert twelve (12) additional hours of accumulated sick leave for personal leave during the ensuing fiscal year. Personal leave hours credited under this provision are non-- cumulative. The maximum number of personal leave hours available in any fiscal year is forty (40). This maximum is available to an employee who is credited with the annual twenty (20) hours, accumulates the allowable eight (8) hours and is eligible for the additional twelve (12) hours.
Every year, the Finance Department will convert the appropriate number of hours by the end of August unless the employee makes a request in writing to opt out of the conversion to the Finance Department by July 15.
Personal leave should be used judiciously and not abused to the detriment of either the Association or the City. The Association will monitor the use of personal leave and will meet quarterly with the City in an effort to identify any problems or abuses as they arise, and to work jointly with the City to alleviate any identified problem areas.
4.7 LEAVE OF ABSENCE
The City Manager, upon written request of a full time non-probationary employee may grant for the good of the service a leave of absence without pay for a maximum period of one (1) year.
Leaves authorized under this Section shall include educational leave, maternity leave, and leave for any other purpose promoting the good of the service. Permission for such leave shall be in writing and signed by the City Manager. Upon expiration of such leave, the employee shall be reinstated to the position held at the time the leave was granted. Failure of the employee to report promptly at the expiration of the leave or within a reasonable time after notice to return to duty shall terminate the employee's right to be reinstated.
4.8 BEREAVEMENT LEAVE

Immediate family is defined as mother, father, sister, brother, spouse, child, grandparent, grandchild, father-in-law, mother-in-law, brother-in-law, sister-in-law, stepfather, stepmother, stepchild, domestic partner, or other individuals residing in the household for whom the employee has legal guardianship.
